March 12, 2206, Gliese 667C, Yuanwang.

Outside the three-meter-high landing porthole, a planet with a white surface covered and only blue poles rotates quietly, the dim black hull of the Yangtze River floats beside the planet, the dark red star 667C dots the monotonous starry sky like a plate, and the farther 667A and 667B are just two bright spots slightly brighter than the stars.

Ye Fei stood in front of the window, looking at the planet outside the window and was silent, the expression on his face was unpredictable, and his brows were stretched and distorted.

"Dad, Dad-" The joyful shout alarmed Ye Fei, who was deep in thought, and when he turned around, the expression on his face had changed to a happy smile, and he opened his arms and hugged Ye Qi, who was already six years old, into his arms.

"Dad, what are you looking at?" Ye Qi looked curiously at the planets outside the window, the vast starry sky and mysterious planets did not arouse Xiao Yeqi's interest.

Having been flying in the universe almost all the time since he was sensible, Xiao Yeqi had long understood the scene of the universe and didn't feel anything special at all.

"Daddy, take a look." Ye Fei casually perfunctory.

Ye Qi's eyes saw the Yangtze River, and suddenly hugged Ye Fei's neck and pleaded: "Dad, take me to the battleship to play, the uncle on the battleship is good to me." ”

Ye Fei was stunned when he heard this, and then he laughed: "Okay, when you are free, Dad will take you to the battleship to play." ”

"Kiki, come down!" Gao Lan, who was thrown by Ye Qi, didn't catch up until this time, "How old are you, and you still let your father hug you?" ”

The smile on Ye Qi's face suddenly froze. reluctantly got off Ye Fei's body, looking very aggrieved.

Because Ye Fei has been away from home for a long time, in order to take care of the children, Gao Lan chose to work on the Hopeless, but she didn't have much time to take care of the children, Ye Qi usually followed her grandparents and grandmothers, and the two old people liked children, which gave Ye Qi a wayward problem, but fortunately, Gao Lan taught her son well and could manage him.

Ye Fei really wanted to hug the child more. But Gao Lan had already talked to him very seriously about educating children. Although he was reluctant in his heart, he still let go of Ye Qi: "Look at you, I finally rested for a few days, why bother?" ”

Gao Lan glared at Ye Fei angrily: "You can only manage the soldiers." Simply will not educate children. Don't get used to him. "People say that they are strict fathers and mothers. But Ye Fei was not there, so Gao Lan could only pick up the role that should have been played by Ye Fei.

Ye Qi leaned on her father, raising her little head to look at her mother's serious face. couldn't help but lean on Ye Fei.

Ye Fei touched the top of Ye Qi's head and sighed: "Okay, okay, listen to you, speak quietly, look at the child who scares it." ”

Leaning on his father, Ye Qi seemed to have found a backer, and made a grimace at Gao Lan with a smile.

Gao Lan was angry and funny: "Whisper a fart, if the child takes care of you, you have to be blind." ”

Ye Fei smiled bitterly: "Okay, okay, can't I be wrong?" He knew that he couldn't take care of his family and took care of his children, and he had always felt very guilty in his heart, and it was nothing to let Gao Lan complain a few words.

"That's pretty much it." Gao Lan turned his eyes to the cloudy and looked at the planet outside the window curiously, "Yo, it's beautiful, this is that, 667Cc?" ”

"That's it." Ye Fei's brows couldn't help but furrow again.

"What's wrong?" Gao Lan asked strangely, "Didn't you say that this is a habitable planet?" Why do you have that expression? ”

Ye Fei's eyes shot an incomparably complicated gaze: "It's a habitable planet, but ...... Alas! ”

Gao Lan felt even more strange: "What are you sighing, what do you have to say to me." Although the two have been together less and more since they got married, it is rare to get together, but she can see that Ye Fei has something on her mind and wants to share one or two for her husband.

Isn't there such a saying? Sharing joy with others will become a double share, and pouring out pain to others will only be half left.

Ye Fei sighed again: "It's not because of this planet!" ”

Gao Lan blinked, very puzzled: "Isn't the planet quite good?" I'm in a hurry, can you say it directly? She didn't know much about astronomy, but she could see that the blue of the star's poles was the surface of the sea.

"What a thing!" Ye Fei couldn't help but complain, "I originally thought that if there was liquid water, I could immigrate, but the temperature of this planet is also too high, you can also see, its poles are actually the sea surface, and the average temperature is minus twenty-eight degrees......"

"Isn't that good?" Gao Lan was very surprised, twenty-eight degrees is a little hot, but it's nothing, right?

Ye Fei had a collapsed expression: "How can it be so simple?" Both poles are more than 20 degrees, how many degrees do you think the equator has? ”

"Huh?" Gao Lan was dumbfounded.

She has never studied this aspect of the problem, but the sea level temperature at the earth's equator should be more than 30 degrees, and the average magnanimity of the poles must be more than 30 degrees below zero, and the temperature difference of 60 degrees can not be lower.

"This, isn't it? The water doesn't need to be boiled! Gao Lan felt that her blood pressure seemed to be a little high.

"What does it mean to open soon, it is simply open." Ye Fei let out a long breath, "The battleship has just finished measuring, and the average temperature at the equator here is one hundred and five degrees above zero. ”

"Oh my God!" Gao Lan subconsciously covered her mouth, "Isn't the sea water at the equator open?" ”

The image of the entire ocean boiling suddenly occurred to her mind, no wonder there were such dense clouds in the atmosphere.

Ye Fei's shoulders collapsed instantly: "What are you thinking?" The atmospheric pressure at sea level here is 1.4 times that of the Earth, and the water does not boil until 110 degrees Celsius, which is much higher than that of the Earth. He suddenly felt that the Outer Bone Man was not so difficult to deal with.

"I know the way, I know the way!" Ye Qi, who was unwilling to be ignored, raised his little hand and jumped up and down, "The higher the pressure, the hotter the boiling water!" ”

"Kiki is awesome, better than Mom!" Ye Fei praised without hesitation, making Ye Qi smirk happily.

Gao Lan suddenly felt that his brain was not enough.

In fact, the situation is much more complicated than Ye Fei said.

The atmosphere of any planet is a complete system, and this is no exception.

Eighty percent of the planet's surface is covered by seawater. However, since it is 20 percent larger than the Earth, the total land area is not much smaller.

The rotation time of the planet is about 27 hours, and when the morning comes, the temperature on the side facing the star will slowly rise with the arrival of the morning due to the sunlight, and a large amount of sea water will evaporate, and the water vapor will gradually rise to form thick clouds, blocking the scorching sun, and the sea surface temperature will stabilize at more than 100 degrees above zero, and then the temperature will drop slightly. The clouds will turn into rain and fall.

Because of the temperature. The planet's tropical storms are also much larger than Earth's, with rainfall reaching its heaviest when clouds drift with the air currents to the far side of the planet, usually in the middle of the night. All the clouds will turn into rain and fall.

The scale of the rainfall here is far greater than human imagination can be. In the words of scissors. It's like pouring water from the sky into the sky.

Privately, the fleet has given this line a very apt name: Storm Star.

Only the poles are slightly better, but not much stronger. As the two spoke, a violently circling tropical cyclone slowly drifted toward the poles beneath the seemingly calm surface.

Gao Lan's expression became ugly, and he said in a low voice: "This place is not suitable for immigrants at all. ”

"I know it." Ye Fei put his arm around his son's weak shoulders, his eyes were full of heaviness, "It's really not suitable at the moment, but the proportion of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere here is very high, and adjusting the composition of the atmosphere shouldn't be a big problem." ”

The two planets of 581 must increase greenhouse gases to fit human life, and I didn't expect that there is a habitable planet with a "fever" here that needs to be cooled down.

"Adjust the composition of the atmosphere?" Gao Lan was taken aback again, "You don't have anything to do, is this something that can be done in a day or two?" ”

She couldn't help but think of a well-known joke in the scientific world, that is, the Venus Transformation Plan.

The successful transformation of Mars by humans became a milestone in the history of colonization, and soon after, the do-gooders were unwilling to be lonely and proposed a plan for the transformation of Venus.

The main content of the plan is to cool Venus through the impact of a large number of glacial meteorites, and then adjust the atmospheric composition of Venus to make Venus suitable for human survival.

The main component of Venus's atmosphere is carbon dioxide, and if it has a lot of water, it seems that it can theoretically achieve the purpose of cooling, but the so-called scholar who proposed this plan is actually just a grandstander, and this plan ignores several very important factors.

One is the rotation speed of Venus, which takes 243 Earth days to rotate around in one week, which is longer than the time it takes to rotate around in 224 days. Humans simply cannot live in such conditions.

The second is that Venus's magnetic field is extremely weak, unable to block the radiation particles from the sun and the universe.

The third is the atmosphere of Venus, the clouds in the atmosphere are actually composed of sulfuric acid, even if the rotation of Venus is accelerated by an asteroid impact, and enough water is replenished for the thirsty Venus, it will only form a huge acidic ocean.

However, there is also a view that acidic substances will react with various substances on the surface after changing conditions and eventually disappear.

It's a pity that this plan is too grandiose, too incredible, this is not as simple as transforming Mars, even China, which is the first in the world, does not have the confidence and strength, let alone other countries.

Global cooperation is an impossible fantasy - if the outer skeleton man does not appear, human beings have not been able to leave the solar system, when one day in the future human beings are covered with the earth and Mars can no longer find living space, maybe this plan will be turned out of the pile of old papers by people with intentions, but now that human footsteps have left the solar system, this possibility is infinitely close to zero.

From a certain point of view, the Venus transformation plan is simply a scientific speculation, and whoever wants to implement it will eventually be dragged down by this plan.

Storm Star can't compare to Venus, but it's not much better.

Gao Lan couldn't help but secretly wonder how good it would be if the two planets like Storm Star 581 would be, and increasing greenhouse gases would be a simple thing for human beings.

"It's not easy." Ye Fei honestly admitted, "The Yangtze River is a battleship, and the Yuanwang is an immigration ship, and they have no ability to transform their work at all, unless the Liuzhou is transferred." It's a pity that the configuration of the Liuzhou is more inclined to military engineering, and transforming the planet is not professional at all. Maybe you'll have to ask the locals to send a special spaceship. ”

Lu Jian's problem for Ye Fei is really not small.

"What then?" Gao Lan finally understood what Ye Fei was so concerned about.

"What else can I do? First declare sovereignty, there are several islands in the south pole of Storm Star, let's let a group of people go down first. Ye Fei said.

Gao Lan was worried: "Is it feasible?" What if the temperature at the poles suddenly rises? The climate here is too tyrannical, such a big tropical cyclone, the central wind force must not exceed 12? Criminals are human beings and have human rights, and I oppose you doing this! As a doctor, Gao Lan's duty is to save lives, and she can't sit idly by.

Ye Fei smiled bitterly again: "I didn't say that I left them here to fend for themselves, to be honest." I'm hesitant. The temperature in this place is almost the same, but the islands are full of stones, and if you put people down, it will be a problem to eat and wear. Are you willing to do that? Who do you think of me? This thing. It wasn't my decision at all. ”

Zhilu Dao was not Ye Fei's decision. Gao Lan's face finally looked better: "No one's decision can be child's play with human life?" ”

"Who's to say it isn't." Ye Fei fully cooperated with Gao Lan's dissatisfaction, so as not to set himself on fire.

The conversation between the two ignored the little ancestor Ye Qi, and the dissatisfied child finally resorted to coquettishness. Ye Fei had to accompany his wife and children back home.

The next day, Ye Fei returned to the Yangtze River, and arranged for the first time to land on Storm Star, and a large group of soldiers landed on the Storm Star Antarctic Islands to obtain first-hand information.

The Storm Star Antarctic archipelago has five large islands, a dozen medium-sized islands and hundreds of smaller islands, with a total area of no less than 9.6 million square kilometers of mainland China.

The landing operation went well, and it didn't take long for a breakthrough to be made - the fighters found some plants and animals on the Antarctic islands.

Perhaps to resist the violent storm, the plants here are very stout, and at the same time very low, stocky like tree stumps, and the plants do not contain chlorophyll, and they look gray and yellow, which is not at all pleasing to the eye.

Overall, the island is sparsely vegetated, a discovery that relieved everyone.

Sparse vegetation means that there are not enough primary producers in the food chain to feed a large number of herbivorous animals, and the sparse herbivorous starvore is impossible, which means that there are not many carnivores here, and they are not very large, and there will never be giant creatures similar to dinosaurs.

The animals are also very distinctive, basically not large, with short and thick limbs, flat bodies, and a good body that resists wind at first glance, and the nests are all built underground.

This phenomenon aroused Ye Fei's vigilance, and he was worried that there would be danger after a long time, so he immediately issued an order to the landing force to return immediately after completing the task.

As the expedition continued, the warriors were pleasantly surprised to find that the situation in the Stormstar Ocean was exactly the opposite, the waters near the island were full of aquatic plants and native fish, and there was no shortage of giant fish - although the Earth and the Storm Star were separated by more than twenty light-years, the fish in the Stormstar Ocean were similar to the Earth!

Ye Fei was very surprised by this, and Hu Bin, who accompanied him, was very disdainful, in his words, the universe is the same universe, the water on the earth and the water of the storm star are the same thing, with the same physical laws and chemical rules, and it is not strange that there are similarities in evolution.

This is the same as humans have two eyes and one nose, and dinosaurs have two eyes and one nose, regardless of the different branches of reptiles and mammals, what they can evolve into depends on the laws of nature.

The natural rules of Earth and Storm Star are essentially the same!

There is little evidence to support Hu Bin's argument, and the most reliable example is the exoskeleton figures, which are completely unrelated to humans, but the laws of body composition are very similar, and they also have a head and two arms.

Ye Fei thought so.

When the expedition was about to end, a storm gradually moved towards the South Pole, and in order to ensure the safety of the soldiers, Ye Fei ordered the inspection to be suspended in advance and return to the battleship immediately.

Not long after, the results of the examination and Ye Fei's suggestions were placed on Lu Jian's desk.

The report details the situation of Stormstar and the difficulties of colonization, and recommends that the plan be suspended for the time being, and that Stormstar should be environmentally modified first.

Lu Jian couldn't do anything about this, and immediately transferred the report to the headquarters of the Heavenly Army.

The Earth side quickly declared the sovereignty of Storm Star, and soon after, an order from the mainland was sent to the expeditionary force, asking Lu Jian to start the renovation project of Storm Star as soon as possible, and to carry out a small-scale migration pilot first.

The order was transferred to Ye Fei, and the helpless Colonel Ye rushed the ducks to the shelves and directly became the commander-in-chief of immigration.

It's true that immigrants are criminals, but to put it deeper, they are not new friends, they are always compatriots of the same ancestry, and they can't be thrown on the planet and left to their own devices, so immigration is really troublesome.

The first thing Ye Fei did was to send a brigade of soldiers to land and build a fully enclosed semi-buried base. After that, some of the strong ones were selected from among the frozen criminals, thawed and sent to the base.

The oxygen content in the atmosphere of Storm Star is only 17%, which is said to be unsuitable for human life, but the air pressure here is high, which does not actually affect the normal breathing of people, so the base does not need to install an air supply system, and the only reason for the closure is to prevent protomicroorganisms from infecting immigrants.

The task of immigrants is very simple, and that is to grow the plants of the earth!

Storm Star plants do not contain chlorophyll, and their growth mechanism is also very different from that of earth plants, so they cannot be viewed from a habitual point of view at all, or earth species are more suitable for humans.

It seems simple to say, but after all, it is an alien species, which is incompatible with the environment here, and although the most vigorous plants are selected, it is not so easy to grow and live, and the seedlings must be raised indoors first, and then gradually moved out of the outdoors.

In this way, the first real interstellar colonization in human history began. (To be continued......)

PS: The state is still not good, but the state is not good, and it must be updated.
