Deep Space Fleet

Vol 3 Chapter 390: Finding Silicon-Based Life

"Are there any new talents recently?" Shu Xiao asked casually, which was also the first thing he wanted to know after he woke up.

"Of course, there is a high-level student in the Department of Mathematics of Deep Space University, who is particularly good at mathematical modeling. Another one graduated from Xingchen University, all researching robots in high-gravity environments there. Go to two students. Take a look at their papers: "Study on Numerical Simulation and Verification of High-pressure Gas Short-blowing Mathematical Model of Submarine", "Design of Control System of Hydraulic Press for Submarine Head Shell Press" ... "

Xu Shuxiao flipped through the abstract and said with emotion: "Are they acting on submarines in the deep sea environment? This generation of students is also very powerful ... Oh, by the way, the plan for the tenth research institute has now been started?"

"Yes, some of our well-known experts have been transferred. It is said that several new universities will be set up to specialize in scientific surveys in complex environments. Do you have the willingness to be a teacher? The main research direction is about mechanical engineering and Spacecraft design. "

"Don't, I'm not at this level." Shu Xiao quickly shook his head.

He is also a fifty-year-old young man. It is more important to learn more behind the cattle. Where can there be enough level to bring new people?

When designing a spaceship or submarine, don't think it sounds very cool. In fact, every part has the wisdom of a large number of scientific researchers.

Just such a casual chat room, he basically understands the major events that have occurred over the years. Every time you wake up from hibernation, you can hear the good news.

Colleague Xu Yafeng continued: "... let's talk about the recent work. In order to prepare for the 'super-earth' scientific research work, the government has issued a major topic, including new robot and transport aircraft design plans. Do you have any ideas? , It would be nice to be able to apply for a topic. "

"Is Super Earth Exploration ..."

"Yes, according to the current technology, launching an exploration robot is no problem, but it is much more difficult to re-launch. 3 times gravity, 8 times atmospheric pressure, all are difficult points."

"Our current shuttle machine may not be able to return from such a high-gravity planet, so everyone is discussing to use the latest stamping engine technology."

This is also true.

Xi Shu Xiao Rao turned on the computer with interest, browsed the related scientific research forums, and explored the big cows in this area. There are many famous people in the circle.

[... human beings have no way to land directly on this planet. At 3 times gravity, all can only rely on robots. However, we can use VR technology to connect the sight of these robots, equivalent to replace the control. 】

[... the atmosphere is too thick, and the outer coating of the shuttle has to be remade, otherwise the whole spacecraft will easily burn to ashes because of too fast speed. This is a systems project, and if you want to do it, you have to redesign it all. 】

经过 [After calculation, the specific impulse of the nuclear fusion engine is definitely no problem in theory, and it can overcome 3 times the gravity. If 10 times gravity is bad, even our spacecraft cannot directly break away from gravity. 】

Looking at the various messages below, Shu Xiao frowned. The research in this area was actually more troublesome than imagined!

He smiled and said, "I see a lot of big names on the list, and thought that it would be solved in a few months."

Another colleague sitting next to him said, "Now we only know the approximate planetary environment. Whatever, the robot must be resistant to heat, high gravity, water, and acids. Is it possible to resist typhoons, such dense atmosphere, A little wind can blow the robot up. "

Wu Shuxiao began to think in a frown. He happened to be a related scientific researcher, and was very interested in this issue.

Don't think that human beings are interstellar civilizations, you can overcome all natural conditions.

These factors add up, and it is the first time humans have encountered them. Three times the gravity, it is likely that even things like chips have to be redesigned.

"But then again, if human beings are so difficult, then if there is an intelligent civilization on this planet, how should they solve this problem? It is not that we are arrogant, but human beings have already entered the threshold of third-level civilization."

"Hey, that's it. So I bet this planet, if civilization exists, hasn't stepped into space."

"Isn't this a win? Bet a fart!" The young men joked.

Xu Yafeng coughed twice on one side: "... you can make a parachute and then drop a tank-like robot. As long as the robot's tonnage is large enough, you don't need to be afraid of strong winds. The planet ’s atmosphere is very dense, and the effect of the parachute not bad."

"... We can also make some empty boats. Should the empty boats also be able to detect the ground, and it doesn't require any technical content, our nanomaterials are more than enough to make empty boats. I have submitted a report on this subject. Do you want to be together? "

"No problem!" Shu Xiao nodded and used some simple technology to solve practical problems. This is the real wisdom. "But how do you collect biological specimens by empty boats?"

"This is not what we should manage ..." Xu Yafeng said with a lip: "There are a few big cattle who are designing new spaceships. Anyway, the detectors dropped are not just us."

The two of them discussed for such a frenzy for a long time before they became quiet.

Wu Shuxiao suddenly thought: "So, how do you think the creatures of this planet should survive? It's not just some microorganisms, it's too boring."

"It's not impossible ... I hope it's not that bad luck." Xu Yafeng sighed with regret: "Three times the gravity means that the creatures of this planet cannot grow as big as dinosaurs ... "

否则 "Otherwise, their bones are much harder and harder than conventional reinforced concrete. It is difficult to evolve such under natural conditions. Any material has its limits."

所以 "So, I guess, the life of this planet should be all crawling on the ground, even like the Glize people, living under the ground."

Another young man also stretched his head over, "I think, because of the dense atmosphere, there may be a large number of species that can glide. Although the gravity of this planet is three times that of the earth, the pressure increases even more. Just like a fish swims in the water, it may evolve into a streamlined creature that can glide in the air. "

"Will there be another life form?" Shu Xiao casually opened a post ~ www.readwn.com ~ The above is exploring the possibility of the planet's silicon-based life.

This high-gravity, highly complex environment, the temperature in many areas can reach 60 to 70 degrees Celsius, and it is likely to give birth to a silicon-based life that is completely different from the earth!

Alas, this speculation has been refuted by a large group of biologists.

Many biologists believe that silicon-based life is difficult to produce naturally.

人类 Because human beings have visited a number of different planets, only silicon dioxide and silicates have been found in these planets, but silane and silicone have never been found.

Can pure silica and silicate form life?

Of course ... no.

From a chemical perspective, people have found advanced compounds of carbon on comets and meteorite, but have not found advanced compounds of silicon.

Europium is ubiquitous in the planet and can also be found in interstellar matter and nebulae. Complex molecules such as methylacetylene and cyanodedecpentyne can also be found in interstellar matter, and people have even found amino acids on meteorites!

However, humans have never discovered silicon-related silanes.

That is to say, not only is there no silane in interstellar matter, but silane cannot be formed even through subsequent chemical processes on the planet.

If even complex compounds related to silicon cannot be produced naturally, silicon-based life will naturally become nonsense.
