Chapter 20: Sunrise of the Blood Sun
The red blood sun slowly set at sea level, and for the first time humans experienced the sunset on the King Star. It was a very beautiful and bloody picture. Because the stars of this galaxy, the red dwarfs, emit less light than the sun, and are themselves dark red. At sunset, the earth is directly illuminated into a pool of blood. The scenery is very scary at first, but after being in it for a long time, I find it really beautiful.
Lin Lin looked at the scenery around him and was stunned. She didn't feel the slightest blood, she saw only beauty. It seems that everything here, she likes. Lin Lin sat on a small dirt slope, which was covered with blue-green grass-like vegetation, which was illuminated by the setting sun, and the glow blue was blood-red, which was even more enchanting. Lin Lin stroked the flowers and plants, and couldn't help singing, which was a song that her mother used to sing to her when she was a child.
In the midst of Lin Lin's singing, the camp was set up. Fire is not allowed during the landing, in addition to preventing fire, mainly because those unknown elements in the air composition of King Star have not been discovered, in order to prevent the flames from chemically reacting and polluting the future home, so the spacecraft has enough fast food.
Everyone brought out all the food and gathered around the center of the camp for the first dinner on the king star. Although the food is simple and you can't drink alcohol, this kind of happy spring outing-like picnic still makes people excited all day high. Gong Feng still made his favorite speech, but when he finished speaking, he asked for money to study, but the latter didn't say anything, just clinking glasses with everyone, happily drinking the water in the glass, like fine wine.
In the midst of laughter, everyone went to bed one after another. The 10-member squad in charge of patrolling during the day was still in charge of the sentry duty on the first night, after all, the other two armed teams were too tired after a day of physical work. On the periphery, there are also 10 drone reconnaissance, so that everyone does not have to worry too much about security on a strange planet.
On the third day, King Star time at 5:53AM.
The black horizon suddenly appeared with a touch of pink, dyeing the horizon into a thin and tender pink ribbon. Then the sky began to light up, and the rising sun was pink.
Lin Lin had calculated the sunrise time before going to bed, when her bracelet vibrate. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and slowly walked out of the tent. Lin Linding's purpose in setting the alarm clock was to see the first sunrise on this king star, and at this time, she was once again stunned by the scene in front of her.
She was born on a spaceship and had never seen a sunrise. Every time she sees the sunrise in a movie, she wants to experience it for herself. Now she finally experienced it, and it was a feeling she would never forget for the rest of her life. The black sky slowly turned pink, like a vat full of ink, gradually fading in color, revealing the purity of the water itself. The sky is getting brighter and brighter, and this faint morning light is soft, as if releasing a light veil that covers the sea, the earth, and the shoulders of Lin Lin.
At the same time, as if in an instant, the surrounding insects and birds sounded at the same time, as if they had made an appointment before going to bed last night, accompaniment to this beautiful sunrise.
Lin Lin was in it, breathing the sweet air, and the fragrance of blue grass soaked in the morning dew, looking at the pink morning light, wearing the light veil given by the morning sun, all this was so dreamy.
Gradually, people in the camp got up and walked out of the tents, and like Lin Lin, no one was not shocked by the sight in front of them. Everyone has seen the sunrise of the earth in the movie, but the sunrise here is more beautiful than the earth.
At 8:00 AM King Star time, breakfast is served in the middle of the camp. Gong Feng announced today's plan: the scientific research team will be divided into two teams, a team composed of one-fifth of the number of people, and travel south to the seashore to test the sea water and sea life of the king star, and the 10-person escort team will follow and protect it. The remaining four-fifths of the members of the scientific research team, with enough collectors, set off north, to the depths of the King Continent, collecting various specimens along the way, and returning to the camp for testing at night. At the same time, the drone will fly further inland to look for rivers so that it can collect fresh water resources from the continent for testing tomorrow.
Whether or not we can find water resources suitable for human reference is the most important task of this login mission. This marks whether humanity will need to spend a lot of resources in the future to purify seawater or even go to the ice comets in the universe to get water.
When you are on the Guiguzi, you can use the ice comet to replenish the water source for a long time at one time. But if humans multiply on the continent, they still need to take such painstaking water, which is really not a long-term solution.
At 9:00 a.m., only four people were left on the ship to guard the camp, and the powerful AI could make it enough for four people to run everything in the camp, including the weapon defense system.
All the remaining crew members set off for a strange continent and the future of mankind!
Heading north from the camp, the terrain is fairly flat. Although the climate formed at this latitude is similar to the tropical rainforests of the earth, the shrubs on the king star are relatively short, and there are no tall trees in the Amazon basin, and the march is relatively smooth.
Gong Feng and Qian Shuxue walked together and used the bracelet to release a holographic projection. In the projection is a military map with a radius of 5 kilometers scanned by a drone yesterday. There is not a single river on the entire map. Qian Shuxue nodded, it seemed that he had already expected this situation, after all, when he was on the Guiguzi, he had already done depth remote sensing exploration, and there was no river on this continent. His landing this time was actually to see if there would be a small-scale river that could not be detected in space.
Several geologists from the scientific research group also leaned over and looked at the newly drawn map, which was not much different from the map they drew on the Guiguzi in space, and there was indeed no river. Everyone frowned and discussed, Lin Lin also came over, of course, there were two henchworms behind him who couldn't leave him.
One expert said: "When I was exploring in space, I found this problem, the continent is too flat, there are no mountains. Most of the world's famous rivers originate from snow-capped peaks in high mountains, or high-altitude wetland swamps. The simplest truth is that the snow peaks melt into a stream, and the lake becomes a lake at the bottom of the mountain, and the lake overflows, and the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy through the altitude difference, so that it can become a river. And there are no mountains or plateaus in the King Continent, so it is likely that there will be no inland rivers!"
"I think so too. Another expert responded: "We should not be able to find the river on this trip, and the only way should be for the Guiguzi to determine the location of the groundwater through deep remote sensing detection, and we will open a well for extraction." ”
Qian Shuxue had already thought of this, but as the leader of the group, he never said it, and he didn't want to discourage the enthusiasm of the team members. After listening to the opinions of the two experts, Qian Shuxue frowned, but still nodded.
Lin Lin had been staring at the newly drawn map beside him, looking at the team leader's somewhat frustrated expression, Lin Lin asked suspiciously: "Grandpa Qian, what do you think this thin line should be?"
Qian Shuxue looked along Lin Lin's fingers when he heard this, and saw that there was indeed a thin and long line between the two soil slopes, because it was too small, if you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't notice it at all.
When Qian Shuxue saw this, his eyes suddenly widened, looking at Lin Lin on the side, and Lin Lin was also very excited at this time, her big eyes, with longing, seemed to be saying to Qian Shuxue: "This is likely to be a river!"
The two geologists also came over to take a look, frowning, and one of them said: "There are some traces that look like a river, but this is too thin, and it may just be a road under the valley." ”
Lin Lin was a little angry when he heard this expert's pessimistic inference, and asked unceremoniously: "Where is this 'road'!"
Obviously, this question can only be answered by Gong Feng, but it is very shameless to be asked by a little girl in public, but she didn't dare to go crazy at will in front of Qian Shuxue, so she had to hold her breath and hold her face purple.
Feng Xian and Chang Fei watched Gong Feng being angry like this by Lin Lin, and couldn't help but turn their faces and snicker.
Qian Shuxue saw that Gong Feng did not answer, and also looked at Gong Feng, with a big question mark on his face.
Gong Feng was helpless and replied: "Old Qian, this place is not far, about three kilometers away from us, and there are ...... along the way."
"It's only three kilometers, so close, so close!" Lin Lin shouted happily when he heard that it was so close.
Gong Feng hates being interrupted the most in his life, so when he is in the armed team, except for Pei Yiyi, other generals will pay attention to this. I didn't expect to be so unceremoniously humiliated by a little girl twice in a row today, even in front of the whole scientific research team, he really couldn't bear it!
Chang Fei on the side had already seen everything in his eyes, he walked to Gong Feng's side with an arrow step, pressed the latter's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Uncle Gong, I forgot to tell you, before leaving, Dad asked me to bring you a good one!"
As soon as Gong Feng heard that Pei Yiyi was mentioned, his face instantly became very flattering, as if the anger just now had not happened at all, and he replied with a smile: "Oh! Xiaofei, what are you talking about, how is the old man doing lately?"
"Good. ”
Chang Fei saw that the other party had completely forgotten what had just happened, and immediately withdrew his smile, replied indifferently, and stood back beside Feng Xian.
