Chapter 2: Venus
"Luo Nian, don't mess around!" Fan Xiaolan pulled the corner of Luo Nian's clothes and muttered.
"Haha...! It's okay, it's okay, the road ahead will be rough and bumpy, today I want to talk to you about things about cultivation, you can ask questions if you don't understand, and I will try my best to answer you. Luo Yongsheng said earnestly.
Although Luo Yongsheng is overjoyed today, he is still full of worries about the path that the children will take in the future, after all, he has also come all the way like this.
"Being able to pass the graduation test shows that the four of you also have a general understanding of the environment we are in!" Luo Yongsheng retracted his original smile, and his words were a little more serious.
"Yes!" The four of them nodded in unison, and the children were always curious about the unknown.
According to ancient documents, there are eight planets in the solar system, Venus is an ordinary planet in the solar system, except for Jupiter and Saturn, although the other six planets are different in size, but the volume is almost the same.
Venus seems ordinary, but it is unique among the eight planets, it is the only planet without a magnetic field, and like Mercury, it is the only two large planets in the solar system that do not have natural satellites, and no moons means no tides.
Venus also has an ocean similar to the blue star, but the composition is different, most of the liquid on the blue star is composed of water, while Venus is more special, the main component of its liquid is sulfuric acid.
Even more frightening is the high temperature of Venus, with an average surface temperature of (462 °C), making it the hottest planet in the solar system, hotter than Mercury, the closest to the Sun.
Venus also has the thickest atmosphere of the four terrestrial planets, more than 96% of which is carbon dioxide, and the surface atmospheric pressure is 92 times that of Blue Star. Its surface is covered by a layer of highly reflective, opaque sulfuric acid clouds, and the greenhouse effect is very intense, with high heat, high pressure, and acid rain, and it can be said that Venus is a suffocating planet.
Seeing that the children were full of interest in the topic of cultivation, Luo Yongsheng hit the railway while it was hot, "According to the books obtained by the ancestors from the ancient ruins, the world we are in is not alone, and there is also the same civilization as us in the depths of the distant galaxy, they are called the Blue Star Civilization, and most of the creatures on the Blue Star belong to carbon-based creatures, although the beasts on this planet are rampant, but it does not affect its evolution of intelligent life, among which the best are the earthlings, also called the Blue Star people, they call themselves human beings." ”
"Carbon-based organisms? What kind of creature is this? Is it stronger than the creatures on Venus? Luo Nian asked puzzledly.
Hearing this, Luo Yongsheng smiled slightly, "Organisms based on carbon as organic matter are called carbon-based organisms, because the body structure of carbon-based organisms is not very stable, it is difficult to absorb a large amount of energy in an instant, and even a slight energy release is fatal for carbon-based organisms, so they generally store energy in foreign objects and then use it, while our Venus organisms are different, according to Blue Star, organisms based on silicon elements belong to silicon-based organisms, and the body structure of silicon-based organisms is stable, Suitable for storing energy in various parts of the body, we have a greater advantage than Bluestar Biotech. ”
"I see, it seems that we Venus creatures still have more advantages!" Luo Nian said a little complacently.
Looking at the smiling Luo Nian, Luo Yongsheng shook his head, "Everything is not so absolute, a civilization from the primitive society to the imperial era and then to the modern society has to go through at least hundreds of thousands of years of wisdom precipitation, but what makes people feel incredible is that after only thousands of years, the earthlings have actually entered the atomic age from the primitive society, such an initiative is unprecedented, and it is unique in the known ancient history." ”
After listening to the hall chief's speech, Luo Nian's mouth opened widely, "It turns out that the earthlings are so powerful, so the words we use to learn should also be inherited from the blue star, right?" ”
After Luo Nian said this, Luo Yongsheng nodded excitedly, "This you get to the point, according to historical records, the ancients once set foot on the blue planet and got a lot of inheritance about the blue star, the unit of measurement is one of the inheritances from the blue star, the most important of which is the blue star language and writing, although we also have our own Venus text, but compared with the easy-to-understand blue star text, our text is more cumbersome, difficult to express and apply, so that now most people on Venus are using the blue star text, The Blue Star script is also called Chinese characters! ”
Seeing that the children were full of longing for the blue star, Luo Yongsheng shook his head, "I won't let others have the ambition to destroy their own prestige, what I just said is the advantages of the blue star, in fact, the disadvantages of carbon-based organisms are also quite big, for example, the average surface temperature of our Venus is above 460 degrees all year round, and the air pressure is nearly 100 times higher than that of the blue star.
"There are also carbon-based organisms that take in energy in a very different way than we do, we only need to absorb heat from the air to keep our bodies functioning properly, and they not only need to eat, but they also need to breathe all the time to carry out oxidation reactions, etc.! All in all, Venus is purgatory-like for carbon-based creatures, and from the perspective of carbon-based life, it is impossible for life to exist, and perhaps it is precisely because of such harsh conditions that they have created their unique ingenuity! ”
What Luo Yongsheng said was all the knowledge that Luo Nian did not have in the books, and most of the time they spent studying in the academy was used to identify the species on Venus and the living habits and dangers of Venusian creatures.
On this purgatory-like planet, all living beings other than humans are collectively called Warcraft, and Warcraft is a common life form on Venus, and its reproductive ability far exceeds that of humans.
Demonic beasts like the Red Flame Bird, the Red Flame Bird, the Fire Lion, the Phantom Leopard, the Flame Python, the Earth Scorpion, the Flame Centipede, and so on, Luo Nian couldn't be more familiar with them, but the knowledge in the books was limited, and it was definitely not as shocking as what they saw with their own eyes.
It is precisely because of the harsh living environment that the college stipulates that every child must enter the college from the age of 10 to 16 to participate in knowledge training, and only after six years of study can they be eligible to participate in the final assessment.
In the graduation exam, everyone must accurately answer the randomly selected 500 kinds of Warcraft's living habits, fighting methods, unique attributes and other related knowledge, and there is only one chance to participate in the assessment every year.
"Hall Master, since our world relies on strength to speak, why do we have to worship the gods and offer sacrifices every year, and my father was sacrificed to the gods as a sacrifice!" Liu Gang's eyes were red, and tears kept rolling in his eyes.
When he was a child, his father loved him very much, and when he sacrificed to the gods last year, his father took the initiative to act as a sacrifice, and the departure of his relatives made him a reticent introvert, and his sky collapsed on that day.
Looking at Liu Gang, who was crying bitterly, Luo Yongsheng's heart was very uncomfortable, he wanted to do something but was helpless, what could he change with his current ability?
"Xiaogang, your father is a warrior and a hero of Loka Town!" Luo Yongsheng paused, and then said, "The planet we are on can be described as densely populated, and it is the planet with the largest number of volcanoes in the solar system, and there are more than 1,600 large volcanoes that have been discovered, in addition to countless small volcanoes, no one has counted their number, and it is estimated that the total number is more than 500,000, or even 1 million. ”
"A diameter of more than 600 kilometers is called a giant volcano, 300~600 kilometers is a large volcano, 100~300 kilometers is a medium-sized volcano, 20~100 kilometers is a small volcano, and less than 20 kilometers is called a miniature volcano."
