ACT053: Saturn's rings

It seems that the Japanese warships led by the King Kong are preparing to return to their colony on Europa, but their posture of passing the Guò Star Gate is too arrogant. Before approaching the Star Gate, the other party did not slow down, did not make a report, and did not pay attention to the 20 or so ships of the SAR fleet at all, as if they were air.

"These little Japan are really getting more and more arrogant! Do you really think that our Datang can't clean them up!? ”

The commotion caused by the crossing of the King Kong made the former sailors under Zhao Jian very unhappy, and the gust of wind just now directly overturned their barbecue oven, not only did they scatter their food on the ground, but the charcoal that fell out also burned many people.

The sailors scolded and cleaned up the deck, while Zhao Jian looked at Xingmen for a long time.

Datang's current dilemma is not that it can't defeat a small Japan, but that once it "teaches" the other party, it will be like stabbing a hornet's nest, and it will be besieged by the entire "anti-Tang camp".

After the "Washington Treaty" failed to trap the Tang Dynasty's disarmament, its nature changed from a "trap" to a "petition". The five countries that signed the contract all understand that none of them are Datang's opponents if they fight alone, even if they try their best to win with all their national strength, the probability of winning is very low, and they will inevitably be hit hard, and even end up in a situation where they all end up together. So these countries formed an offensive and defensive alliance, intending to gather the strength of the five countries to jointly contain the Tang Dynasty.

The treaty stipulates that on the premise of ensuring that the total tonnage of these five countries is 2~3 times that of Datang, the navies of each country shall limit the size of their respective navies according to the tonnage ratio divided by the agreement. They not only want to destroy the Tang Dynasty, but also worry that there will be new "monsters" after the war! In addition, these self-proclaimed "messengers of justice" also set up a list of protectorates, more than half of which were once subject countries of Datang, which is equivalent to planting a circle of "landmines" around Datang.

Jupiter is the only extraterrestrial colony of Datang, and it is also the planet with the largest known star field and the closest environment to Earth. In Zhao Jian's memory in his previous life, Jupiter and Saturn should be gas planets, but Jupiter here is an earthy planet with a surface area only 7 times that of the Earth, with a large blue ocean and a complete continent 6.2 times that of Asia.

In addition to Jupiter's main body, the surrounding moons are also in a similar environment, the ocean area is very large, the environment is good, but it is not as easy to develop as Jupiter. These planets with relatively scarce resources were later divided by Datang to various vassal countries in Asia, originally hoping that they could be grateful for the "grace of heaven" and unite around Datang to form a strategic buffer zone, but when Datang itself had problems, these vassal countries turned against each other and blockaded Datang in turn.

The reason for this qiē has a lot to do with Datang's "vassal policy".

When these countries were still very ignorant and backward, the powerful Tang Dynasty was their common idol, and the Tang Kingdom, which was a good teacher, was not as cruel as the white people treated the Native Americans. As long as you are willing to pay tribute to me, I will not only cover you, but I will also be willing to impart knowledge to you and help you grow.

In the early days, such a policy did make all the subject countries grateful, and they all said with an iron heart that they wanted to mess with the Tang Dynasty for a lifetime, but with the changes of the times, this gratitude was ultimately no match for the expanding desires of human beings.

In modern times, under the bewitchment of European forces, more and more subject countries began to be dissatisfied with the vassal relationship and demanded "normalized national status" to be able to sit on an equal footing with Datang in the international arena, which was exactly what Datang could not tolerate. In the end, this contradiction was completely intensified after accumulating to a certain extent, which formed the current situation.

Everyone has their own responsibilities in this matter, and no one can say that they are completely innocent. But as a native of the Tang Dynasty, even if he can understand the hardships of a small country yearning for dignity, he will firmly stand on the side of his country. Datang has already suffered for his past arrogance, and it is time for the betrayer to pay the price next!

A week later, the Pinnacle finally reached its target region of Saturn, the most marginal planet known to be in the star field.

When they arrived at Jupiter before, Zhao Jian and the others stayed in the colony of the Tang Dynasty for a few days, but the elusive Dai Li suddenly appeared in the hotel where he was staying. The other party had just done something here, and when he found that Zhao Jian was also here, he made a special trip to "care" for his subordinates, and arranged a "small task" for him.

"Did you know that the Soviet Union was engaged in a great purge?"

"I've heard a lot, I've heard that a lot of people have died."

"I hope you can find the time to go over there and get some experts in the scientific community back, here's a list of some people who may have been executed while you and I were talking, anyway, do your best!"

“……”

On December 1 last year, Sergei Kirov, one of the central leaders of the Soviet Union, was assassinated in Smolny Palace. On the very day of the crime, Stalin arbitrarily amended the national criminal code and began to arrest the "murderers of Comrade Kirov" throughout the country without discussion and approval by the Political Bureau, and the bloodiest and darkest "Great Purge" campaign in Soviet history officially began!

In just a few months, the secret police of the Soviet authorities executed more than 300,000 "suspects", and this number is still growing. As long as you are not an idiot, you can see that this is someone using the topic to exclude dissidents from the military and political circles.

At first, Zhao Jian also wanted to get some experts and hard goods, but the Soviet Union has now killed the red eye, and Zhao Jian felt that it was difficult to start there, so he set his sights on the Soviet colony in Saturn. The mountain is high here, the emperor is far away, Stalin's spirit has not been "implemented" for the time being, and if Zhao Jian moves quickly, he can somehow get some scientists who want to escape.

Saturn is the second largest planet in the known star field, with a surface area 5.5 times that of the Earth, and a land area that is not small. However, more than sixty percent of the land on the planet is hard permafrost, only the equatorial line is suitable for human survival, and the climatic characteristics are similar to the subarctic zone on this side of the earth, but the cycle of reincarnation is particularly long.

The time for Saturn's revolution is about 29.5 earth years, which is nearly 30 years, with spring, summer and autumn accounting for a total of 18~20 years, and the rest is winter. Such a long cycle makes Saturn's good days and cold days exceptionally long. In contrast, Jupiter, which has an orbital period of 11 years, has a winter of up to 3 years, but because the temperature is not as cold as Saturn, the climate is much more comfortable.

As soon as the transition ended, the first thing that caught everyone's eye was the rainbow-like rings of Saturn. When the Pingbo arrived at Jupiter before, Zhao Jian was shocked by Jupiter's rings, and with that vaccination, he looked at Saturn's rings much more calmly.

Although Jupiter's rings and Saturn's rings are similar in nature, their composition is much more "delicate" than that of the shattered region! According to the brightness and color of the rings, the entire ring of Saturn is divided into more than a dozen rings, which are only a few dozen kilometers wide and more than 300,000 kilometers wide, and almost all of Jupiter's 62 moons are contained in these rings.

According to Dr. Ruerte's notes, a star map of the ruins of Venus shows another facility left by ancient humans in the innermost D ring arc of Saturn's rings. But Saturn's D ring is 7,500 kilometers wide, and finding something here whose shape and size are unknown is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

But Zhao Jian has his own "special method", as long as this facility is indeed the remains of ancient people, then he is 100% sure that he will find it out from the star ring arc!
