After the completion of the exploration of Bird-07, the plan for the landing of the Falcon spacecraft on Europa officially began.

According to the established plan, the ship will fly around Europa more than twice, constantly adjusting its orbit and speed halfway, synchronizing Europa's rotation speed as much as possible, and landing along the trajectory of Bird-07.

The main concern is safety, Europa's surface is not safe, and in some places it will spew out very high groundwater, like a volcano on Earth.

At the same time, the ejection of groundwater will also cause a series of chain reactions, which can lead to risks in the air.

The flight path of Bird-07 has been determined to be safe, and the landing work is carried out along the path of Bird-07 in order to avoid risks as much as possible and land at the nearest position to the established landing site.

After the start of the Europa landing mission is confirmed, the first action will be the space spacecraft, which will fly to Europa with its back to Jupiter and 3,000 to 4,000 kilometers away from Europa.

The Celestial Ship will remain in a fixed position to allow the Thousand Falcon to return to its cabin.

After the plan was officially decided and began, everyone went about their own work, and all the work on the spacecraft revolved around the landing plan.

Of course, most of them had nothing to do with the mission, but they were also very concerned about the progress of the landing, and the trio of Ding Zhiqiang, Alvalier, and James didn't even bother to stay in the workshop, but went into the hallway to look at Europa.

The three of them are relatively leisurely, it is really like they are traveling, and they are constantly taking pictures of the light aperture.

In fact, not only them, but many people went to the corridor to take pictures, and the perspective around the corridor could clearly see Europa in the sunlight, most of which were rusty white, and some places were pale blue.

From the perspective of the corridor, you can also see the huge Jupiter behind Europa, which is yellow and weird and changeable, and just seeing a corner can bring a lot of shock.

Ding Zhiqiang and the three of them stayed in the corridor for more than ten minutes, and then they saw a middle-aged man in his early forties walking over, his name was Shao Enqiang, and he was the controller of the equipment cabin of the Tianhang spacecraft.

Shao Enqiang greeted Ding Zhiqiang and asked casually, "Are you taking pictures?" ”

Ding Zhiqiang held a camera in his hand and pointed out the light-through window, "It's beautiful, right?" I also took a selfie, which is really memorable, but this light transmission hole is too small. ”

"Go to the weightlessness room." Shao Enqiang said.

"Weightlessness room?"

Shao Enqiang nodded, "There is a light-transmitting window in the weightlessness room that is obliquely facing downward, which is several times larger than this, and it can be seen more clearly. ”

"Wood food?"

Ding Zhiqiang was a little confused when he heard it.

"Yes, wood food." Shao Enqiang explained with a smile, "Our newly coined vocabulary, is now the spacecraft on Europa's back to Jupiter, looking at the light outside?" Europa's dark side is about to face the Sun, and when we look at it from our perspective, Europa will be completely in Jupiter. ”

"But it's still early, Europa's revolution is too slow, the wood food will last for more than ten hours, and in a few hours you can still see Europa obscuring the very center of Jupiter, and when the time comes, it will definitely be shocking!"

After Shao Enqiang finished speaking expectantly, he waved his hand towards Ding Zhiqiang and walked to the control cabin.

James and Alvalier did not understand Chinese, they did not understand the conversation between the two, and they all looked at Ding Zhiqiang together.

Ding Zhiqiang gave a brief explanation.

James hurriedly said, "So what are you waiting for?" Let's go over quickly, it seems that you can go in and experience the weightlessness casually......"

The other two also nodded in agreement, and they soon came to the weightless cabin, which was a backup cabin, and there was no gravitational field equipment installed in it, and people would be weightless when they entered.

The weightless chamber has two diagonal downward translucent windows that allow a clearer view of Europa, and standing on a corner close to the ground, you can also see the whole of Jupiter.

From the perspective of the light-revealing windows of the weightless cabin, you can see Europa, Jupiter, and the sun's rays.

When Europa turns to the side facing the Sun, from the perspective of the spacecraft, it will always be a very special "wood food" scene, the difference is only whether there is sunlight or not.

After Ding Zhiqiang and the others entered the weightless cabin, they could see that the yellow circle of Jupiter was obscured by the white of Europa when they were lying on the edge of the light-transmitting window, and they couldn't help but marvel at the scene in front of them.

Ding Zhiqiang hurriedly asked James and Alvalier to take pictures of him, James was not very adaptable to the weightless environment, and he couldn't even control his body, let alone control the camera.

Alvalier's performance is much better, he is an astronaut by nature, and he has worked on the space station, so he has adapted very well to the weightless environment.

Alvalier was still a little dissatisfied, and sighed, "High technology can really make people degenerate, and gravitational field technology is a subversion of human space activities...... I found myself not very comfortable with weightlessness. ”

"You've done a good job, I feel like I can't control my whole body now, and I don't feel well......"

Ding Zhiqiang said depressedly.

James nodded, "Me too." It seems to be completely different from training now, and it may be that I have gained weight in the past few days. He touched his stomach as he spoke, causing the other two to laugh.

James continued to look out the window and sighed, "Beautiful! Before approaching Jupiter, it was pitch black, and the sun could only be seen at most. Perhaps every time you approach a planet, it will be a very beautiful scene, even if it is Venus, which is considered hell. ”

"Look at this little white planet, now our perspective brings me to a word --"

"Romantic!"

He shook his head depressedly, "Unfortunately, I can only find red wine, but there are no beautiful women." ”

"Then again, there are only a dozen women involved in the program, could it be sexist?"

Ding Zhiqiang tugged at the corners of his mouth vigorously and complained, "Are you thinking about women or about sexism?" ”

James shook his head and said, "So you don't understand romance, look at the environment here, look outside, weightlessness, beautiful planets, spaceships, what an attractive combination, if there can be a beautiful woman here, taste red wine with me, and then have a communication ...... off the earth."

He closed his eyes and seemed to be caught up in his own imagination, then opened his eyes and continued, "It's impossible for me, but Xiao Ding, I think you have hope, if you can bring a beautiful woman here, or come with her on a month-long trip to Jupiter, she will definitely not mind spending the more memorable 30 days with you......"

Ding Zhiqiang was not bewitched, but continued to complain, "What you said is right, but the spacecraft is not surnamed Ding." ”

"Why?"

Alvalier asked, full of incomprehension.

The other two looked over together.

Alvalier said, "I mean, why bring women up? ”

"To chase women?"

"In order for her to be willing...... ...... with us I mean, and I...... Ahem. ”

"I see what you mean." Alvalier continued, incomprehensibly, "I mean, I know women need romance, but it doesn't have to cost so much, right? And the woman herself will know romance, and we can enjoy it. ”

“——？”

“？？”

Ding Zhiqiang and James's faces showed incomprehension, and they felt challenged by cultural differences.

"I've never been romantic with a woman, but I do enjoy it, I remember when I was in school, there was a beautiful girl named Selena, she invited me to a party, and when I got there, I found that it was very romantic......"

"There were streamers, red wine, cute dolls, a big bed, and most importantly just the two of us."

"Selena said she only invited me."

"She's such a romantic woman, so I didn't refuse to have a wonderful night."

Alvalier told a little story and continued, "Not only Selena, but also Bess and Jolisa, I remember it was only the three of them, and the others refused. ”

"I'm not the kind of casual person."

James stared at Alvalier and looked carefully, and the other party did say it very sincerely, and suddenly said depressedly, "I understand." ”

Ding Zhiqiang nodded vigorously, "I understood from the very beginning that we are not people of the same world at all. ”

"yes!"

"Alas~~~"

The two of them sighed together, the international handsome guy doesn't understand the pain of ordinary men!

Alwalil has the genes of the Saudi royal family, and his appearance can be called 'handsome' in any country, coupled with the aura of a prince, there are naturally many women who are willing to take the initiative to create romance.

They......

Even James, who looks good, feels like he's about to cry when he compares it with Alvalier.

The world is so unfair!

Both James and Ding Zhiqiang don't want to be friends with Alvalier anymore.

While the three of them were chatting, the landing plan had already begun.

The ship exited the capsule and flew towards Europa, the ship on a mission to land and bring back samples.

In the plan, they wanted to bring back three samples, one for air, one for soil, and finally for groundwater or surface ice.

Among them, the air sample is the easiest, and the sample of the soil or rock layer is not difficult, because the landing site is just above the soil layer, and you only need to put down the equipment to automatically dig into the soil layer.

Groundwater samples are the most difficult, there is no ice near the landing site, they need to search for the surrounding area, and if they can find ice or 'puddles' left by natural activity on Europa's surface, they can get groundwater samples, otherwise they have to give up.

These need to be judged by the landing personnel themselves, and all work is carried out under the premise of ensuring safety.

The control center kept an eye on Europa's landing plan, and news of the progress was also sent, "The spacecraft has reached the established position, and it is ...... away from Europa"

"The Thousand Hayabusa 2 has done the final test, everything is normal and can take off......"

"Astronauts aboard Senfalcon 2."

"The Senfalcon 2 spacecraft prepares to leave the ship's cabin for a mission......"

"Approaching ......"

Wang Hao has been staying in the control center, keeping an eye on the implementation of the landing on Europa.

Although the delay of the message sent by the spacecraft was very high, even more than forty minutes, and it was impossible to carry out immediate command operations, and he could only continue to receive messages, he still stayed in the control room, and he wanted to make sure that there were no problems with the landing plan.

"The plan went well, the landing site that the Seven ship was looking for was safe, there was no trace of ice for several kilometers around, and it was a rare soil surface on Europa." Zhu Qiqiang said, "Academician Wang, you don't have to worry too much. ”

Wang Hao nodded lightly and sighed, "I still can't rest assured, after all, it's a brand new planet, and we still know very little about Europa......"

At this time, the messenger came over and whispered, "Academician Wang, there is your phone number, from the strong S-wave research group. ”

"Take it in."

Wang Hao nodded to the communicator, then picked up the phone, and soon heard the excited shouting from the other side, "Academician Wang!" Academician Wang! ”

"Director Wang Qiang, don't be so excited......

"Academician Wang, Academician Wang, great discovery! Big Discovery! Wang Qiang's voice was still very excited, "I'm sorry, I can't control it, there is a big discovery, I saw the light on the Mediterranean side!" ”

"Huh?"

Wang Hao didn't react for a while, "What do you mean?" What sees the light? ”

"Over there in the Mediterranean! O Investigator! Team leader Zhang Yaokun reported that they saw bubbles in the seawater, and also saw a light appear under the seawater, which lasted for about a few seconds, and the time was completely compatible with our experiment! ”

Wang Hao was stunned for a while, and then asked seriously into the earpiece, "Are you sure?" ”

"Of course!"

Wang Qiang said, "I didn't believe it at first, and I confirmed it several times, their report is like this, Zhang Yaokun's team still has three days to return to China, and when the time comes, it will be even more certain." ”

"Three days? Then wait a little longer......"

Wang Hao took a deep breath, he had already believed what Wang Qiang said, normally speaking, it is impossible for investigators to make such jokes, and the news received must be true.

What does it mean if a thin layer of strong S-waves created by the Mediterranean Sea suddenly appears to shine?

"The teleportation of light?"

"Or is it a penetrating excitation effect?"

Wang Hao frowned and thought carefully, he also realized Wang Qiang's excitement, there are two possibilities for light to be transmitted from one side of the earth to the other side of the earth, one is to follow the excitation effect of the strong S wave through the conventional field force, and the other can simply be understood as 'energy transmission'.

But regardless of the interpretation, the result is the same, that is, light from one side to the other.

Wang Hao put down the phone and took a deep breath again.

Zhu Qiqiang walked over and asked suspiciously, "Academician Wang, what happened?" ”

"You'd never think of it." Wang Hao said very seriously, "A beam of strong light spans nearly one-third of the earth, from one side of the earth to the other......"

“？？”

Zhu Qiqiang's face was full of incomprehension.

Wang Hao didn't explain much, he thought about the problem carefully, the new discovery is definitely not a trivial matter, they are likely to have discovered the 'energy transmission effect', just think about it is very magical.

If it is really an energy transfer effect, will it be able to transport matter further?

Could this be wormhole technology?

Even if it doesn't involve the sci-fi wormhole technology, there is a lot to study when it comes to energy transmission, or even just the excitation effect of penetrating the field force.

It's like opening the door to a 'magic physics' that surpasses the conventional imagination!
