Chapter 35 Developing Venus

Sitting in the landing spacecraft that took off from the space of Venus, Yu Fei was still cursing the person who changed the wake-up bell, and Fatty Ma also looked unhappy.

Mike, Song Yu and the others had never lived in the Sangvis mothership, so they didn't know that this kind of ringtone would bring back many terrible memories.After hearing Yu Fei explain the reason, he also cursed, saying that the grandson of a bitch did it. If he finds out who it is, he will fill his oxygen bottle with Venus' air with sulfuric acid, and see who can beat the other.

Everyone scolded for a while, and then began to have a lot of nonsense, such as where there are the most beautiful clones, and where and where bars can be carnival, they are all men's favorite things, and everyone is chatting nonsense. In the middle of the joke, the voice of the glasses came from the intercom: "Hey, guys, there are still 5 minutes before entering the atmosphere of Venus, let's play a little game, I will say three messages now, one of which is true Yes, let's see who can tell the difference first"

"1. Venus rotates in the same direction as Earth"

"2. A day on Venus is longer than a year"

"3. There is no water on Venus"

"Okay, the topic has been announced, and I'll give you three minutes to think about it. I've already applied for it with the old ghost. Those who guess correctly will get 3 reward points, which can be exchanged for a bottle of high-quality vodka. The timer will start."

Compared with this topic, everyone is curious why Spectacles will be doing this show today. You must know that he is usually a serious person, so why is he so lively and cheerful today.

Since it was so easy for people to go crazy and happy, everyone felt that they should give some face, so they all cheered and guessed. Some people said it was the first one, and they said it was not a so-called sister star, so the direction of rotation should be the same.

Some people also say that it is the third point, saying that the surface of Venus is full of magma, how could there be water, and it evaporated into the air not long ago, this must be true.

But few people say it is the second one, because everyone thinks that one day is longer than one year.

While everyone was discussing, Yu Fei and Fatty Ma heard the voice of the glasses: "Listen, you two, don't talk for now, I just used a small program to hack into the mainframe of the space station and found Who changed the wake-up ringtone, just to remind you, it was one of Sun Zhiping’s subordinates, they had access to the security system, so they changed the reminder of the indoor alarm bell, presumably they knew about your experience, I just wanted to play a prank, you guys better restrain yourself from now on, and discuss things with me and the old ghost more often, don’t offend this kind of person, it’s not good for you.”

Hearing Glasses' kind advice, both of them said: "Okay", but their hatred for that Sun Zhiping increased in their hearts, and at the same time, they also understood that Glasses' questioning was actually a cover, just to occupy the communication channel. Secretly telling myself this information, I admire the thoughtfulness and speed of the glasses in my heart.

Three minutes passed quickly, and the glasses announced the answer, which turned out to be the second one, and the glasses explained the reason.Venus rotates very slowly, and it rotates once, that is, a "day" (ie sidereal day) in the conventional sense is 3 days, while a revolution around the sun is 243 days, which means one day of Venus longer than a year.

"Cut, it's boring." No one got the points, and everyone started booing, but the time was well passed, and the pilot of the aircraft reminded everyone to get ready, it was about to enter the atmosphere.

There are a total of ten people on the landing spacecraft, all experienced soldiers or officers, led by Yu Fei, to conduct a preliminary survey on the surface of Venus, and if possible, they will land on the highest point of Venus - the Maxwell Mountains.

At the same time, the Venus space station has sent a large space transport ship, which will find some small celestial bodies and comet fragments mainly composed of ice from the meteorite belt between the earth and Venus, and drag them to the sky above Venus Investing in it will bring a large amount of water to the surface of Venus, so that its surface will cool and solidify, preparing for further development in the future.

(Note: There are celestial bodies made of ice in the solar system. It is said that they are also the source of the original water on the earth, but they are not between Venus and the earth. In the Kuiper belt on the edge of the solar system, there are about 10 stars with a diameter of more than 100 kilometers. Many Composed of ice and gas, the meteorite belt between Venus and the earth is quoted here for plot continuity, hereby explained)
The Maxwell Mountains are the highest mountains on Venus, about 2 kilometers higher than the Himalayas on Earth, and about 1 meters from the ground of Venus. She is located in one of the two highlands on Venus--the east of Ishtar .

The area of ​​Ishtar is roughly between Australia and the United States, with the Freya Mountains to the north, the Akna Mountains to the west, and the Danu Mountains to the south. The four mountain ranges surround the relatively low center, and there is a very The nice name is Jixiangtian Plateau.

Although it is known as the highest peak, the environment in the Maxwell Mountains is also very harsh, with a temperature of about 380 degrees and a pressure of 59 times the standard atmosphere. This is already known as the place with the lowest temperature and the lowest pressure in the entire Venus. The terrifying degree of the surface can be imagined.

"Why didn't you send a robot there?" One of Song Yu's subordinates asked puzzledly.

"Because they were sent down before, they were all corrupted and can't be taken back. Let's take a look and bring back the information if they are not dead, haha" Mike told the truth cruelly, and everyone nodded with a wry smile , many times, in the eyes of unscrupulous high-level officials and shameless politicians, soldiers are just a kind of resource that can be counted, not flesh and blood. This is why many people are obsessed with power, so that they can override others and use others The flesh and blood and life paved the ladder for oneself to ascend to heaven.

"Don't say it as if you are sent to die." The voice of the old ghost came from the intercom: "You must know that the small mechas you are wearing are the latest research and development of the Allied forces. After experiments, they can completely withstand the corrosive air here. , the heat resistance is also very good, as long as you don't run around to the surface, there will be no problem."

"Oh, after an experiment? Brother Gui, with all due respect, that means it hasn't been used in actual combat?" Yu Fei asked while pressing the call switch on the side of the helmet.

"Yes, you are the first batch to prepare," the old ghost said proudly.

"Great, we are not going to die, but the mice are going to be experimented." Yu Fei spread his arms and leaned on the back of the seat.

"As long as you talk a lot, prepare to land." The old ghost saw that this guy was about to start playing word games, and the height was almost ready, so he quickly found an excuse to end the communication, so as not to pester him.

"Haha, Brother Gui felt that he was in the wrong, so he ran away, and told him to buy us a drink later." After finishing speaking, Yu Fei gestured: "Brothers, check your equipment and prepare to land."

The landing ship flew in the terrible air and pressure of Venus for about 10 minutes, circled a few times over the Maxwell Mountains, and finally found a relatively flat peak and put them down.

As soon as they got out of the landing cabin, the first sound everyone heard was the creaking sound of their mechs being squeezed by huge pressure, which made everyone very nervous. You must know that in such an extreme environment, the human body is very fragile. Fragile, if there is no pressure-resistant mecha produced by the latest technology, I am afraid that people will not be able to live for a second.

After listening to the sound in horror for a few minutes, the junction of the mecha was compressed to a certain extent, and after reaching a stable state, there was no more sound, which meant that the mecha finally supported the strong pressure, and everyone grew A sigh of relief.

Although they are all wearing small combat mechas, not all of them are armed with weapons. Yu Fei is carrying a multi-function detector, which can detect the composition of the air in real time, and use the principle of acoustic echo pattern to map the topographic map in detail. Draw it into the computer, and even a stone the size of an egg can be accurately drawn.

The Maxwell Mountains are formed by the elevation of the floor rock formations by the force of the earth's core, so there are roads between the peaks of the mountains, although this road is much more difficult than any other road on earth.

Following the route on the top of the mountain, everyone began to move towards the Jixiangtian plateau, because that is the focus of this exploration. The glasses mean that after the ice is transported from space, it is possible to consider forming a plateau lake here first, and use biotechnology to The development of an acid- and heat-resistant bacterium capable of photosynthesis starts with the reduction of carbon dioxide.

Few of these people could understand what the glasses said. Anyway, what he said and everyone did what he said. While walking, everyone used the instruments in their hands to take pictures, record, or sample rocks, and chatted nonsense if there was nothing to do.

According to the provisions of the Cosmic Development Convention, the first people who landed on this planet have the right to choose a geographical location and name it, so there are many place names in the Maxwell Mountains along the way, such as Songyu Canyon, Fatty Horse Peak, Mike The platform or something, just stop and go like this, has also reduced the pain caused by the harsh environment.

The landing site was originally chosen not far from the plateau. After Yu Fei led the group to advance several kilometers with difficulty, he was close to the place where the plateau meets the mountains. You can't see the whole picture, but it's still very spectacular at a glance.

The detection team stayed here for a while, Yu Fei adjusted the intensity of the sound wave detector to the maximum, and fired a few waves of ultrasonic waves to the bottom of the plateau, but this kind of powerful sound wave that can shatter even walls on the earth cannot be suppressed by the huge pressure environment here. However, they couldn't spread it very far, but they had no choice but to adopt the second plan.

The tools needed for the second set of plans have been carried on Fatty Ma’s body. After they are removed, they are then installed on the launcher carried by Mike to form a launcher with a disposable detector inside.

After the "launch" was set up, Yu Fei gave the order.

"Get up" Fatty Ma let out a low cry, and pushed the switch to eject the detector.

There was an ultrasonic transmitter in the probe, which emitted three high-intensity sound waves in a directional manner, and then unfolded several balance wings, slowly falling towards the top of the plain.

Yu Fei immediately turned on the ultrasonic receiver to record the sound wave reflections, and based on these things, an accurate topographic map of the plateau can be drawn.

His side was busy drawing the map, and the rest of the people were not idle. They used tools to collect rock samples, but due to the huge pressure and arid environment of Venus, the rocks were extremely hard, and everyone had to use lasers for collecting crystals. After cutting, a lot of ore specimens were collected.

Just when the nine people except Yu Fei were busy having fun, Yu Fei suddenly let out a scream, which made everyone drop the tools in their hands immediately in fright, and those with guns raised their weapons, and immediately put out a The enemy's semicircular defensive formation.

But looking around, there was nothing, and after thinking about it, it is impossible for something to live in such an extreme environment, so everyone looked at Yu Fei who was screaming, and asked him what he found.

Yu Fei seemed to be stupefied by fright, and didn't know the answer at all. Instead, he pointed at the personal computer on the forearm of his mech with trembling hands, and the image drawn by the ultrasonic reflection was displayed on it.

Everyone was curious, and when they leaned over to look, they were stunned there like statues. On the computer screen, there were large clusters of crystals displayed. Based on the ultrasonic reflection results, the object density, material and other characteristics.And according to the calculation results, these large pieces of crystals are all——yuan energy crystals...
