Chapter 379: Pluto Base
The Xuanwu ship gradually accelerated with its back to the earth, and soon reached the edge of the earth's gravitational range, and the pressure on the people became more and more great, at this time, the blue particle stream spewed out by the ion thruster had reached dozens of kilometers long, and the two rocket thrusters at the rear were also started at the same time, and the entire spacecraft opened the energy shield, and the starlight in the distance was instantly stretched into a peerless bright line, and no planets could be seen in the starry skyγ
There was a "bang" in the silence of space, the vacuum seemed to have been torn apart, and the shining Xuanwu ship disappeared without a trace, where it disappeared, an irregular white line was gradually revealed, and then another, countless white lines of different thicknesses fluttered in the void and slowly became invisible, these lines visible to the naked eye were the spatial cracks caused by the Xuanwu ship tearing the void!
The space jump of the Xuanwu ship has exceeded the speed limit that human technology can reach, and no spaceship can fly at this speed, but its jump is still in the physical category, and it is not the same concept as Xiao Sa's space folding plane teleportation, even so, the people who do space jumping for the first time are still soft and have a splitting headache, and everyone only has a minute of rest after the jump, and this minute is set aside for the smart space seat to detect everyone's heartbeat. Blood pressure and other physiological indicators, at this time, the seat belt can not be opened, and everyone simply closes their eyes to recuperate and recover their strength.
Of course, Ye Wushuang didn't have anything, and he didn't show anything, he just sat honestly, but his eyes kept observing everything around him.
It takes about 248 years for Pluto to revolve around the sun, its orbit is elliptical, the inclination angle is 17, and it is not in the plane of the eight planets orbiting the sun, and its volume is too small, the diameter is only 2,200 kilometers, and it has been eliminated from nine planets at the 26th International Astronomical Joint Conference held in Prague and downgraded to a dwarf planet, and its surface temperature is 33k- 55k, where 33 does not refer to 33 above zero, but 33 above absolute zero, so the surface temperature of Pluto is between minus 240 and minus 220 degrees Celsius, which has basically reached the point where everything is unsurvivable.
The main components of Pluto's surface are nitrogen and methane, and there is very little water, and the ice mantle dominated by methane is hundreds of kilometers thick, and there is no development value here, but the exploration spacecraft of the Ministry of Aerospace stumbled upon a metal reaction when passing here, and found the kind of metal that can defend itself, which is a very valuable thing, so after more than ten years of efforts, the Pluto base was finally built.
It is impossible for the space jump of the basalt ship to reach the surface of the planet, and the destination of this jump is still tens of thousands of kilometers away from Pluto, which is relatively close to Pluto's moon Karen, from here, although Pluto is covered with thick ice, it is not white, but crimson, like rust. Looking into space from here, you can only see four satellites that are relatively close, and the other planets look similar to the night sky on the earth, not much different, and the sun is not visible here, nor can it be said that it is invisible, because it is as bright as other stars, and ordinary people cannot distinguish it.
At the subcosmic speed of tens of kilometers per second of the Xuanwu ship, it reached the sky over Pluto in more than twenty minutes. (Note: Cosmic velocity refers to the speed of detachment from the gravitational pull of the solar system, and flying at subcosmic velocity cannot leave the solar system.) There's a mist down there, which is formed by the breakdown of methane and water into gas, which is also Pluto's atmosphere, and although it's thin, it's also a little bit protective of Pluto. Of course, the methane and water decomposition mentioned here is not liquid water into water vapor, water vapor cannot exist at this temperature, decomposition refers to chemical reactions, real decomposition, methane decomposition into hydrogen and carbon, water into hydrogen and oxygen.
Passing through the atmosphere, the basalt ship quickly got in touch with the Pluto base, there are also rocks on Pluto that are exposed to the surface, but the base is not built on the ground, but under the ice, where the ultra-low temperature is applied to the extreme, and a little water can be used to build a house, and it is guaranteed that it will not collapse within 10,000 years, the paper will become harder than the rock, the most vulnerable is poured into metal, the general metal will be broken at the slightest touch here, and the attack and defense are far worse than the weapons made of ice, so the metal is the most useless here, and the houses of the base are sprayed out with special foam after digging up the iceοΌ
So far, scientific observations have always believed that Pluto is lifeless, and even the lowest level of life cannot exist, so what danger did Shen Chengfeng and the others encounter? Ye Wushuang was very puzzled.
The Xuanwu ship landed on the ice on the periphery of the base, here is a huge landmark building "the sky is round", dozens of meters high square building is buckled with a semicircle, the meaning of which is needless to say, this is a manifestation of the ancient Chinese civilization, but also to highlight its difference with the surrounding landform, so that people can see at a glance, but it is not a living person, but a hangar, Shen Chengfeng and others' spaceship is parked in it, maintained with a variety of wind circulation and water circulation systems, otherwise the metal spacecraft would have been finished. However, the Xuanwu ship, which is mainly based on biological shells, does not have this problem, and it can take off and land on the surface of Pluto at will.
The combat robots coated with a special antifreeze layer stood up from the storage box one by one, and after landing, they "clicked" a few times and turned into four-legged beasts, and they don't know what it is, they look much uglier than Cerberus, and now in terms of science and technology, Huaxia and the United States have their own strengths, and they are obviously a lot worse in terms of combat robots, but they are much ahead in space exploration, and all the resources of Pluto are estimated that the people of the United States are not able to get their hands on them.
One hundred and fifty astronauts, one hundred were left to take care of the spaceship, and fifty put on special spacesuits and stepped on the metal monster and left the Xuanwu ship.
Pluto's attraction is less than one-twentieth of that of the Earth, which means that you will fly when you take a step, and it may not fall within two minutes. Ye Wushuang and the others are here to do something, so naturally they don't have time to play this, although the metal monster is ugly, but there are hooks on the claws, hooking the ice and moving forward steadily, and everyone quickly entered the "round sky".
After taking several elevators to the underground base, after passing through the pressurized cabin and disinfection room, Ye Wushuang finally saw Shen Chengfeng in a white coat.
Ye Wushuang said with a smile while taking off his spacesuit: "The four joys of life, a long drought and a rainy country meet old acquaintances, and we are too far away from meeting in another country, more than 3 billion kilometers away from the earth, which is really emotional." β
Shen Chengfeng's tense face finally showed a smile: "I've been worried about it for a day, finally you kid is here, help me see what's going on." β
Ye Wushuang handed the spacesuit to the staff and replied: "This is not your home, it is so far away from the earth, I arrived just after the accident, what's the matter, I didn't even have a word of thanks?"
"Thank you for what? Even my sister gave it to you, who are we with whom? What I should thank you the most is for contributing the Xuanwu ship, otherwise you won't be able to make a space jump, you won't be able to get here at all, I've been flying for more than half a year!"
"So you've just arrived here?"
"Isn't it, it's only been a few days!"
"Wow! or space jumping saves time. Okay, let's talk about the situation. β
"Come, come here. Shen Chengfeng pointed to the holographic map in the circular table: "The problem is that I don't know what the problem is, and now the base has been damaged to a certain extent, and these damages are all caused by man!"
"What? Caused by man-made? Where is there anyone else here, caused by your people?"
"Yes!"
Ye Wushuang frowned, stroked his chin and pondered: "Is it possible for extreme cold to cause people's unconscious behavior?"
"Yes, that's for sure, but our living conditions are okay, we don't freeze people like that, and their aggressive behavior is conscious!"
"Deliberately? Your people are all carefully selected, right? There will be no problem with your thinking, right?"
"Impossible! They listen to orders better than soldiers, know how to unite better, and even if there is a change in thinking, they should know that everyone will die if they destroy the base, and regardless of interests and political goals, who will have nothing to do with suicide?"
"Is there a live mouth?"
"No, except for those who were killed by us, the remaining few people didn't even have weapons, and then they didn't resist, and they died inexplicably. β
"So you're not without enemies now?"
Shen Chengfeng put his mouth to his ear and whispered: "The problem is that there will be people who will continue to change, I said that foreign enemies invaded in order not to cause panic, no one here is a fool, where can there be any foreign enemies? β
Ye Wushuang's brows furrowed even tighter: "Have you seen it with your own eyes?"
"Yes, the person who was fighting side by side with me suddenly pointed a gun at me, and if I hadn't practiced, someone would have killed me!"
Ye Wushuang pointed to the holographic map: "Call up the thermal imaging map and display all the personnel." β
Shen Chengfeng stretched out his hand to operate on the holographic map, this virtual map is still very advanced, the entire base structure is clearly displayed, and the display of people has been specially treated, except that the color is red, even the appearance can be seen clearly, but everyone is only the size of a finger, there are more than seventy people in the base, and the others are brought by Ye Wushuang.
"Let my people exit here immediately, don't go back to the spaceship, go to the 'round sky' to standby, the robot stays, the Xuanwu ship will take off immediately, withdraw from the atmosphere and stand by!" Ye Wushuang issued a series of orders, he didn't know what kind of enemy he would encounter, but he was careful, he must not let the enemy occupy the Xuanwu ship!
