Chapter 5: A Sense of Danger
Excavations have been going on for about three months.
At this moment, the Hope is only two kilometers away from the ground, because of the casting and installation of the anti-gravity system, the inner layer of the rock can already be used for large-scale excavation with bombs, and the relationship between the anti-gravity system, the blown up rock frame layer, there is no danger of collapse, so the excavation speed has been greatly improved, and it is expected that after three and a half months, the hope should be able to lift off.
And as it gets closer and closer to the ground, the ultramagnetic scanning system is getting clearer and clearer, and the entire planet is basically within the scanning range.
This planet is about one or three times larger than the Earth, the more the rotation speed is three-quarters of the Earth, and the revolution speed is faster than the Earth, at the same time, the gravity of the planet is more than one and two times that of the Earth.
Judging from the current detection situation, the coverage rate of green plants on the planet is extremely high, basically the primitive planet without any destruction at all, the organisms have only evolved to reptiles, and the area of the sea is 62% of the surface area of the entire planet, which is much smaller than the earth, so there are also a few desert dry areas in some inland areas, but the desert area is still very small, because of the huge forest coverage.
All in all, judging from the current detection results, this is the best planet that human beings dream of, it does not need any environmental modification at all, and it is not the kind of terrestrial planet that develops my atmospheric colonization surname, but a life planet full of green plants, sea, blue sky, and a variety of creatures, perfect nature!
The results of these explorations were published in Hope Weekly, which also made the public look forward to going to the surface of the planet more and more, and the call for speeding up the excavation progress again was also getting louder and louder.
In fact, Yao Yuan also had the idea of speeding up the excavation progress, not to comply with the demands of the people, but to gradually feel a sense of danger in his heart.
Today is the time for him to confirm his premonition of danger, after lunch, he specially asked someone to call Zhang Heng, of course, Zhang Heng has been having an affair with Bai Ningxue and Luo Maomeow recently, it is always a little bad to disturb him like this, but who called him a member of the Black Star Squad, in this regard, Yao Yuan is absolutely business-oriented.
“…… That's it, I felt a sense of danger, but I didn't know where it came from, and I always felt as if something was going to happen. Yao Yuan told Zhang Heng his hunch, and then looked straight at Zhang Heng, waiting for his answer.
Zhang Heng showed such an expression, and he thought for a long time before he said, "...... Actually, I also felt this premonition of danger, but this premonition was very slight, and it did not gradually become stronger with time like the original asteroid belt, but this premonition...... A few days ago, I saw an article by Saburo Mitsuda from Hope Magazine, which said that the new planet may have unknown dangerous viruses and microorganisms, and he asked the personnel entering and leaving the Hope to carry out strict sterilization and disinfection procedures, and I wondered, could it be that there is an unknown virus on the ground? But we had to go to the ground again, so I didn't tell you about this hunch. ”
Yao Yuan felt it carefully, thought about it carefully, and then nodded in affirmation: "I seem to be like this, I didn't feel anything at all before, but as I get closer to the ground, this feeling becomes more and more intense, maybe you are right, this time the premonition of danger comes from microorganisms or bacteria and viruses on the ground, all the creatures on this planet seem to be unable to cause harm to us, heh, this matter will trouble you, if you have any new premonitions, find me in time, no matter where I am, what I am doing." , you can tell me right away. ”
After Zhang Heng heard this, he stood up and saluted, he just wanted to leave, and suddenly Yao Yuan said again: "Speaking of which, do you like that one, Bai Ningxue or Luo Maomeow?" I don't remember the Hope being polygamous. ”
“…… Hehe, hehe. Zhang Heng smiled awkwardly, he scratched his head and said: "Actually, they are all very good, one is enthusiastic and bold, the other is gentle and timid, in fact, they are all very good." ”
"You kid." Yao Yuan shook his head and said: "Anyway, take care of yourself, if something happens, I don't recognize the law and don't recognize people, don't learn from Yang Walo's kid, his army nickname is not very good." ”
Zhang Heng suddenly came to his senses, he knew all the people in the Black Star Squad, as a member of the Black Star Squad, he had been completely accepted by this team, so he immediately asked, "Oh?" What is a nickname? How did I not know? ”
"Ugh." Yao Yuan looked left and right to confirm that Barbie was not outside the door, and then whispered: "His nickname is that his left and right hands are stroking each other." ”
"Gah?"
Jokes aside, when Zhang Heng left, Yao Yuan asked Mitsuda Saburo to be invited to the captain's room, and after explaining the problem, Yao Yuan asked: "Dr. Mitsuda, I want to ask, what is the probability of the appearance of absolutely deadly microorganisms, bacteria, and viruses to humans on this planet?" How lethal is it? ”
Mitsuda Saburo stood up politely, took the teacup handed over by Yao Yuan, drank the tea, and then said: "Captain, in fact, the surname of absolute lethality cannot be established, because there are no viruses, bacteria, and microorganisms that are absolutely lethal to a race, because human genes are changeable, although each human gene is twenty-three chromosomes, and more than ninety-nine percent are the same, but there are also many differences within it, in addition to changes in appearance, height, men and women, life expectancy, etc., The degree of resistance to infection and lethality to various viruses is also different. ”
"For example, even AIDS, a so-called unsolvable virus, has so far found many cases of complete immunity, of course, they are still carriers of the virus, but the virus is ineffective against themselves, the same, when the population base is too large, any virus can not kill all human beings, just like various antibiotics, there will always be some bacteria that survive, and evolved, and produce anti-drug surnames, human beings will also appear antivirals, and produce antibodies in their bodies."
"So, as long as there are antibodies, there is actually no virus that is absolutely deadly."
Speaking of this, Mitsuda Saburo stood up and bowed: "Please set up an advance team to reach the surface as soon as possible before the Hope, and obtain bacterial and microbial samples from the planet, so that we can take precautions in advance, and conduct harmful experiments on these viruses, bacteria and microorganisms, as well as vaccine cultivation." ”
Yao Yuan hurriedly supported him, pressed him back to the chair, and said, "Don't be so polite, this is what I should do...... Advance team. ”
After the conversation with Mitsuda Saburo, Yao Yuan hurriedly called Bo Li and the relevant engineering team members, and then explained Guangtian Saburo's words in detail, and then put forward the idea of sending an advance team to the ground.
"I know this might make it harder for you to build, but is it possible to make a small hole in one step and then have a team go to the ground? After all, there is only about the long-term stay of the future home, and any danger needs to be strangled in the cradle, and it is impossible for me to risk the more than 180,000 lives of the Hope! ”
Yao Yuan first said to several engineers in the engineering team.
Several engineers looked at each other, they all looked a little embarrassed, and after a long time, one of the engineers said: "We can try to dig a vulnerable point first, but if we have to dig up to the ground, then we can't use explosives, because it is very likely to cause the whole structure to collapse, although there is an anti-gravity system to prevent the damage caused by the collapse, but it will bury the passage...... It's very difficult. ”
Bo Li next to her suddenly said, "How about using a strong magnetic field?" ”
"A strong magnetic field? What is this? Yao Yuan recalled the various creations of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and asked curiously.
Polly glanced at Yao Yuan and said, "I'm really embarrassed, I remember that more than three months ago, I wrote a report on the manufacture of a strong magnetic field experimental machine, and you directly approved it with three words, so I thought you were completely familiar with this technology." ”
Yao Yuan smiled awkwardly and said, "Because the materials you need are too much, although it is a little smaller than the giant particle collider, but according to the experimental machine you proposed, it is estimated that it will be as huge as a quarter of a floor, how can I agree...... Tell me, what the hell is it? ”
Polly rolled his eyes again, and then said: "This is the inspiration I got from the Whisperer skill when I was looking through extraterrestrial scientific materials, because the possibility of artificial gravity has been found at the end of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, of course, anti-gravity is still not feasible, this strong magnetic field is a by-product of artificial gravity, using strong energy to create a strong magnetic field force, producing a fixed force on matter within a certain range, this is a strong magnetic field, but the energy required is huge, so even if the alien civilization uses a polymerization reactor." , it is also impossible to put their lead ship in artificial gravity, which is completely different from our anti-gravity system. ”
Yao Yuan suddenly became interested, and he immediately asked, "And then?" Do you still have to dig a passage step by step? ”
"No, we're more direct." Polly's eyes flashed with cunning and excitement, and said: "Rely on the anti-gravity system to keep those rocks from collapsing, and then rely on the strong magnetic field to keep the rocks in place, in this case, ......"
"We launch the Super Electromagnetic Orbital Star Destroyer Cannon! Blasted up a two-thousand-meter-long rock passage! ”
