Chapter 163: Morning Hemisphere

(Unmodified, please ...... later )

A landing site on land has a lot of convenience, especially on such a planet.

Yang Meng wanted to find a temporary location,

Perform some simple surveys to identify some geological formations.

However, when Yang Meng's probe arrived at the first island,

However, it was found that it was very unrealistic to compare the experiences and ideas of the earth with such a planet

"The terrain here ......"

In the dark sea, something finally appeared protruding from the sea,

However, when Yang Meng saw this thing, a strange look appeared on his face,

Even the small light on the side flickered, showing a hint of curiosity about the scenery below.

There is indeed an island on the screen,

And the size of this island is very large

But the shape of this island is very peculiar.

It was as if it was a ship sailing in the sea, and for some reason it turned on its side, and the original bottom of the ship was exposed.

formed a shape that flips the bottom of the boat,

What is even more conspicuous is that there seems to be someone on the "bottom of the boat", using a lathe to accurately cut out standard ravines.

Such a strange terrain,

It made Yang Meng think of the Yadan landform formed by wind erosion in the desert of the earth.

"The planet's atmospheric circulation is so violent!"

"And it's not just wind erosion, it's also glaciation that's very noticeable on islands like this!"

At this time, the probe examined the island in detail.

found that this island with standard ravines, like the jaws of baleen whales,

Its surface is surprisingly smooth,

There are no visible rock debris on it,

It's as if it's been polished.

After Xiao Yin's analysis of the topography and landform, it was found that this island did not have the conditions for temporary landing.

And Yang Meng saw that there was such a situation in the first piece of land he encountered.

His expectations for the small proportion of land area on this planet are not so high.

"It seems that the only way to do this is to catch up with those moving unknown objects and take a look at the situation first!"

"How long will it take for the probe to catch up with those unknown moving objects!"

"It's going to take about eleven hours!"

Hearing this, Yang Meng nodded slightly,

In the process of moving from the night hemisphere to the day hemisphere,

Yang Meng has a deeper understanding of these unknown moving objects.

If you compare the day hemisphere of this planet to a day on Earth,

The sunrise is six o'clock and the sunset is eighteen o'clock,

Then those unknown moving objects, most of them are concentrated in the time zone from 9 o'clock to 12 o'clock,

For this distribution,

Yang Meng didn't understand at first,

According to the light and greenhouse effect of a planet,

A planet with a thick layer of atmosphere,

Theoretically, the hottest time is generally between 13 and 16 o'clock.

Why don't the unknown objects chasing the sun move in this warmer area?

And now,

Yang Meng entered the day hemisphere from the night hemisphere,

Reversing from night to loss at four o'clock in the afternoon

saw the strong convective weather generated by the monstrous waves,

also saw the islands under the influence of strong winds and glaciers,

With his knowledge of meteorology and ocean currents,

If it is an unknown moving object,

In the afternoon hemisphere of the day hemisphere,

It is very likely to be affected by the violent currents and convection of this planet,

Rush to the night hemisphere,

You must know that the night hemisphere here will last for more than half a year,

And the junction of the night hemisphere and the afternoon area of the day hemisphere is icing,

If the unknown creature was washed up in the night hemisphere would be a desperate situation,

The morning hemisphere of the day hemisphere is different.

Even if the temperature in the morning hemisphere is lower than in the afternoon hemisphere,

But even if it is washed up in the night hemisphere bordering the morning hemisphere,

There, when dawn is approaching, the snow and ice are melting, just stop where you are and wait, and you can have hope for life.

"I don't know if my guess is correct!"

……

The probe continues to fly forward,

Ross 128 is 1.4 times the size of Earth,

Its oceans are much wider than the Earth.

Yang Meng looked at the repetitive ocean scenery on the screen

Inevitably a little tired,

On the other hand, the small light on the side kept flickering, and it seemed that he was very interested in this planet.

Looking at the flickering appearance of the light spots,

Yang Meng suddenly remembered something:

"Speaking of which, when I was taken away from the Rutan system, you said that I would take you to a suitable planet!"

"What do you think of this place?"

"Here!"

The light flickered for a moment, as if thinking about something, but it flickered twice, and responded:

"I need to find out what's going on here!"

It was also at this time that Yang Meng noticed that some of the data on the detection had changed.

"The wind has changed!"

"Xiao Yin, what time zone is it now!"

"Probably at fourteen!"

"It's time for a change, too!"

Xiaoguang on the side saw that Yang Meng was talking to himself about him,

suddenly started a conversation with Xiao Yin,

It flickered and asked with some curiosity:

"What's wrong?"

"The probe might be in trouble!"

"Trouble!"

Hearing Yang Meng say this, the small light flickered, and put his vision back on the screen,

Want to see what the trouble is,

"Sure enough, something has changed!"

When leaving the night hemisphere,

Because of atmospheric circulation,

The clouds in the sky can see a kind of state structure,

The winds of the planet,

Like a ramen chef,

Pull the cloud structure into strips,

But when the spacecraft passed the 14 o'clock time zone,

The clouds in the sky became a clutter,

In particular, the image data transmitted back by the detection front-end camera A shows that

From the East,

There was a cloud that was as black as it was tumbling,

This cloud connects the heavens and the earth,

It's as if the sky is falling,

It is also mixed with some lightning and thunder, which looks very terrifying.

Neither Xiaoguang nor Yang Meng had ever seen such a scene with a sense of oppression.

Although Yang Meng has never seen this kind of scene.

But as Yang Meng, who had minored in some meteorological knowledge, silently speculated in his heart about the origin of this terrifying canopy.

Meteorology is a complex and comprehensive class of doctrines.

In a simple model in meteorology,

The generation of wind is from the cold and high pressure area to the hot low pressure area.

Like the seaside,

Because of the specific heat capacity

At night, the land cools down rapidly, and the sea cools slowly.

It is easy to blow the wind from the land to the sea,

Of course, the actual situation is much more complicated than the simple model.

The influence of many natural factors can change the meteorological results.

But no matter how the factors change,

The basic laws of physics are the same.

On this planet,

The night hemisphere is an incomparably large source of high-density cold air.

At the junction of the day and night hemispheres, there will be violent atmospheric circulation.

The probe experienced this first-hand as it flew from the day hemisphere to the night hemisphere.

The threat of cold air on this planet to the day hemisphere,

Not comparable to the cold air on Earth.

And such an extreme environment will produce another, more extreme climate!

"Pay attention to whether you can avoid a hot and low-pressure cyclone ahead!"

Hearing Xiao Yin's reminder,

Yang Meng frowned slightly:

"That's probably another reason why those unknown moving objects don't want to live in the higher temperature afternoon hemisphere!"

high-temperature and low-pressure cyclones,

If it is present on the ocean,

As it continues to develop, another highly destructive natural disaster will emerge – typhoons.

On Earth,

The ocean in the middle and low latitudes is constantly heating up by the sun, and its air pressure is constantly decreasing.

Because of the autumn and winter, the appearance of the temperature difference between the continental oceans,

Under the influence of factors such as the geostrophic deflection force in Canada, typhoons began to form over the ocean.

Although the planet Ross 128 does not exist on the continent, forming a monsoon region,

But there is a region with a temperature difference that is even more terrifying than land.

Recalling this meteorological knowledge,

Looking at some of the situations you are currently facing,

Yang Meng looked at the latitude where the detector was located, and was a little strange:

"Xiao Yin, this place is close to the equatorial region,

How can there still be such a cyclone area?"

"Because the planet's geostophic deflection is weak!"

"In this case, the intensity of the typhoon should not be high compared to other areas!"

"Yes"

"So, can the probe go straight through this area?"

"I don't recommend you do that!"

"Then go through the clouds!"

"Understood!"

With Yang Meng's command, the angle of view of the detector also changed

The little light on the side saw something, and said in a flash:

"Looks like you're trying to walk through this area from above!"

"But those unknown objects are under the surface of the sea, why don't you try it?

Walk under the sea!"

Hearing Xiaoguang's suggestion, Yang Meng shook his head gently,

Xiaoguang's suggestion sounds very normal,

The detector also has the ability to detect underwater.

But now is not the time to detect the water.

The atmosphere of this planet is very violent, and the sea is also not very calm.

Gases and liquids are also fluids.

After being affected by temperature, the flow direction is generated.

It's just that, in nature,

In addition to special industries such as submarines, fisheries, etc

Humans rarely feel the changes in ocean currents directly,

And on this planet,

Because of the drastic change in temperature,

The currents in the sea are also extremely complex.

In the atmosphere, Yang Meng can also analyze the air flow and atmospheric environment through the detector.

But if you want to detect the currents in the sea,

It requires a large number of buoy-type detectors that go deep into the ocean.

And more importantly,

Because of the difference in the depth of the sea,

Yang Meng because the direction of the temperature will also produce different changes,

When you can,

As the depth of the sea increases, a completely different world of circulation appears every few hundred meters.

In this case,

Yang Meng will not let the probe enter the sea,

So when I heard Xiaoguang ask such a question,

Yang Meng just explained one or two, and continued to let Xiao Yin control the detector to fly upward.

As the detector gets higher and higher,

The air is also getting less and less dense,

The kinetic energy of the air generated per unit area is also getting smaller and smaller.

In this case,

The influence of the wind speed on the detector has also begun to decrease.

But at the same time,

The decrease in wind force reduces the kinetic energy of the detector.

Fortunately, the nuclear power battery carried by the probe can provide enough energy.

The detector only needs to increase the kinetic energy,

There is no need to worry about energy issues.

As the probe slowly reaches the top of the cyclone,

Yang Meng found that

A typhoon that looks very white on Earth,

to the planet,

But it looks a little gray,

"I'm afraid it's an extreme weather condition, and if the ships and sailors are in it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to survive!"

And in addition to finding different colors,

Yang Meng also found that

The cyclone here is not like a typhoon on the earth, where there is a typhoon eye.

"I'm afraid this is caused by the delicate force of the earth's rotation bias!"

As the probe flew over the typhoon area,

A more detailed simulation of the planetary atmosphere was simulated by Xiao Yin.

In the new diagram of Xiao Yin's simulation calculation,

The whole planet,

From low-latitude regions close to the equator,

to the high latitudes close to the polar regions,

There are typhoons,

Most of these typhoons are in the day hemisphere and in the afternoon hemisphere in the time zone of 15 to 13 in the afternoon

makes the typhoon area like a natural barrier,

The morning and afternoon hemispheres of the day hemisphere are divided into two regions.

"I also know if there are those unknown moving objects, maybe because of some accidents,

From the morning hemisphere of this planet to the afternoon hemisphere!"

Yang Meng secretly thought about this question,

After another period of time,

The sidefinder flew out of the typhoon area,

Leaving the typhoon area on Earth,

You will see the beautiful scenery after the rain,

But here, in the whole atmospheric environment, there is still a violent wind.

"Isn't there a place on this planet where you can see stars?"

The small light saw that the detector was always under the clouds,

Flickering to ask such a question,

And hear this question

Yang Meng looked at the meteorological environment map simulated by Xiao Yin Xin and said:

"There are still sunny days!"

Although the planet's atmosphere is extremely thick,

But the clouds are not evenly distributed across the planet.

Also because of the violent atmospheric circulation,

In the wind,

There will always be places where the clouds will disappear,

And according to the previous detection data of the planet,

These areas are basically found in the morning hemisphere of the day hemisphere.

At this time, Yang Meng is about to enter the morning hemisphere,

He looked at the unknown cloud-covered scene ahead,

Thinking in my heart on this planet,

What does it look like when the clouds disperse,

And under the clouds scattered and the light shone,

whether the light of the stars can shine on those, unknown moving objects,

Yang Meng is looking forward to,

And that anticipation is coming.

To be on the safe side,

Yang Meng also asked Xiao Yin to turn on the optical layer on the detector

Turning its body into the same shape as the clouds,

Colors close to gray.

"It's close!"

The spacecraft probe has been tracking those unknown moving objects,

At this point, the probe is about to catch up with the nearest target.

See what you are about to see,

The small light in front of the screen also flashed:

"What exactly are those unknown moving objects?"

Finally, the probe was on top of an unknown moving object,

Under the work of the pneumatic propulsion unit,

The entire detector is steadily suspended in the air,

However, the data transmitted back by the detector shows that

On the surface of the sea below,

Except for the white waves that came from the wind, there was nothing else.
