Chapter 377 Original Ecology
Kevin Adams and others' insistence made Su Yichen hesitate and also a little moved. New... He said that's right, with the ability of the Home Spacecraft, it can escape danger at such a long distance. Even if this life planet is really dangerous, they can leave safely. Although the civilization described by Galen is powerful, no matter how it is, it will not bring them a devastating blow to them in this situation. After all, the Home Spacecraft represents the technology of the highest cosmic civilization in the Milky Way. Otherwise, Galen would not have been injured when he had a conflict with the other party.
Confirm with Su Li again. After getting the confirmed answer, Su Yichen and Luo Yan accepted everyone's opinion and decided to explore this life planet at close range.
After another curvature navigation, the Home spacecraft escaped from the curvature navigation and approached the life planet in a normal flight state. When the spacecraft approached the 0.6 light-year distance predicted by Su Li, the Home spacecraft temporarily stopped advancing in space for safety. The detection equipment on the spacecraft began to operate and conducted full-range detection and scanning of the planet.
"Strange, you guys come to see!" A few hours later, the preliminary scanning results came out. When the results were sent to Su Yichen's hand, he looked at them for a few moments and was stunned. Then he greeted everyone busy beside him.
"What's strange? Huh... why is this happening?" Luo Yan was at Su Yichen's closest location. She was the first to look at the data result and was immediately stunned.
Then came Kevin Adams and Tangle, and finally Gao Jian. Among these people, except Gao Jian's professional knowledge was slightly weaker, and Tang Le, who was a Blue Star civilization higher than the Earth civilization, Su Yichen and three others were outstanding scientists. They discovered the strangeness of the results of this data at a glance.
"There will be no error in the data?" Kevin Adams asked with a frown.
Su Li nodded, and at the same time took a compound report and handed him over. The results of the two data were almost exactly the same. In addition to the powerful equipment of the Home spacecraft, there was almost no possibility of error.
"It's so strange. How can this planet's atmosphere contain such a level of ionosphere?" Luo Yan's eyes were full of incredible. Su Yichen also had this expression.
The ionosphere is an atmospheric high-level ionized by the solar high-energy radiation and cosmic rays. The entire atmosphere above 60 kilometers on the earth is in a state of partial ionization or complete ionization. In fact, many Earth-like planets in the universe have such ionospheres, and even an important part of their atmosphere.
In the solar system, in addition to Earth, there are Venus, Mars, and Jupiter with ionospheres, which are much thinner than the ionosphere of the Earth. Moreover, the relationship between the ionosphere and the atmosphere shows that the closer it is to the atmosphere, that is, the denser the area of the relatively atmosphere. Because the diffusion and flow of gases will cause frequent electron collisions, free electrons will disappear quickly, and the external atmosphere is thin, and the ionosphere will form a magnetic layer due to the magnetic field of the planet.
If we want to study the ionosphere from a scientific perspective, it is enough to write a very thick book, and it requires very professional knowledge to study it thoroughly. However, these are extremely well understood by Su Yichen and others, and even Tang Le has a lot of research on this.
What makes them strange is whether this planet has an ionosphere. When they find out that this planet is most likely a life planet and even possesses a cosmic civilization, it is inevitable that the planet's atmosphere has an ionosphere. The key is that the basic parameters such as electron density, electron temperature, collision frequency, ion density, ion temperature and ion components of the ionosphere of this planet are far beyond their imagination. It can be said that no planet has such an ionosphere.
For example, the atmosphere of the planet, including the ionosphere outside, is equal to the shell of an egg. Some eggs have thinner eggs, while some eggs have harder eggs, but no matter what the thickness is, there is always a range.
Even some lifeless earth-like planets, their ionosphere is like an undeveloped eggshell, or even a very thin and soft film. This is normal. But the thickness of the ionosphere of the living planet they are now is simply unimaginable, almost 5 times that of the earth's ionosphere. Moreover, various electrons have extremely high ion density and extremely small collision frequency. It is like an egg that contains several eggshells.
This situation is simply incredible. You should know that in astrophysics, this situation is theoretically impossible to occur naturally. When we thought about the previous long-distance detection failed to detect the abnormality of this planet, everyone couldn't help but exchanged glances. Perhaps it was because of the strange ionosphere it had that caused the long-distance scanning and detection that it was not discovered.
"Do you think this is artificial?" Tang Le thought for a long time but couldn't think of how this planet would have such a strange ionosphere under natural evolution, and then put forward a hypothesis.
"What's the point of doing this even if it's artificial?" Kevin Adams asked back.
Yes! What's the point of this? The ionosphere has a great effect on the atmosphere. And having an ionosphere can better protect the atmosphere inside the periphery, thereby giving the entire planet better protection. But the problem is not so simple. When something is just right, it can play its role, such as the ionosphere owned by the earth, which not only protects the earth from "outsiders", but also has a great effect on the existence of the ionosphere since humans use radio waves. Later, the earth's civilization entered the period of cosmic civilization, and the earth's ionosphere became another reliable source of ordinary energy and electricity for humans, bringing great convenience to human life.
But when the ionosphere reaches this level, it is not a good thing. It is just like wearing a warm cotton coat in winter, which makes people feel comfortable. But once you wear several cotton coats and wrap them tightly, the person will either be suffocated to death or be hot enough to breathe. The same is true for the ionosphere. Even if someone creates this level of ionosphere to wrap the entire planet firmly, then the intelligent life on the planet will be imprisoned.
Shaking his head, Su Yichen could not judge how this situation happened.
"What about those artificial celestial bodies in the planet's low-Earth orbit? What is the detection result?" Luo Yan could not explain this question, but she thought of answering the question from another angle and immediately asked Su Li.
"It's strange. From the outside, it seems to be an artificial celestial body, but after specific detection, it's not."
"No? What is that?" everyone asked in surprise.
Su Li raised her hand and a clear scene was revealed in front of everyone. This was a scanning scene of this planet, and everyone could see the appearance of the planet on it.
The inside of the yellow-green planet is not very clear under the thick ionosphere and the atmosphere inside. However, above them, the so-called artificial celestial bodies surrounding the planet in low-Earth orbit, are very eye-catching. What surprised everyone was that when they were enlarged to a certain extent, they found that it was not the case at all. These are ordinary asteroids, or the fragments of meteorites and meteors flying around the planet. Some of them are larger, some are smaller, and they are different in size, and they look like artificial satellites in space.
A disappointed look flashed in everyone's eyes. Could it be that the previous judgment was wrong. This is not a life planet, but an ordinary earth-like planet? Moreover, the cosmic civilization of the Andromeda system that everyone wrongly guessed was not here. They wasted this precious time and made useless stops?
Just as disappointment filled the bridge, everyone had already made plans to return without success in their hearts, Su Li suddenly exclaimed lightly.
"This should be a life planet, but it's strange, this life planet...it..."
"What's wrong with it?" everyone asked in a daze.
Su Li shook her head and pointed to the planet's image and said, "I need to get closer to some detection. The ionosphere of this planet has a big obstacle to detection, so I have to get closer."
"How much distance should I get closer?" Su Yichen asked.
"Go ahead 0.2 light years. I think there should be no problem with this distance."
Su Yichen thought in his mind that even if the Home spacecraft approached the planet 0.2 light-years later, they still maintained a safe distance. Moreover, it has been initially proved that this planet should not have a cosmic civilization. Even if there is a civilization, it is probably just a primitive civilization like the Galen civilization. In this case, they are safe. Su Yichen nodded immediately and agreed to Su Li's request.
The spacecraft started from stillness and continued to move towards the planet. Without much time, the spacecraft came to a position about 0.4 light-years away from the planet. After conducting preliminary exploration, Su Li told everyone that this time it should be fine. Then everyone didn't go anywhere and all were waiting for the detection results on the bridge.
When the final detection results came out, Su Li's guess was correct. This was indeed a life planet, which still had a normal atmosphere under its thick ionosphere. 50% of the surface of this planet is a desert-like area, and only 20% of the remaining 50% are oceans, lakes, rivers, and the other 30% are mountains, forests and oasis. No wonder this planet looks yellow-green in space.
As for life on the planet, or creatures on the planet, Su Li also found some. When these creatures were displayed in the bridge in a scene, everyone took a breath of air conditioning.
"It's simply Jurassic!" Gao Jian stared at his eyes and said for a long time that a very famous science fiction movie on Earth was about a very famous science fiction movie "Jurassic Park". The story tells the story of a scientist who found the dinosaur gene in a dinosaur egg, and then resurrected the dinosaurs living in the Jurassic era through gene cultivation technology, and also established a park on a large island isolated from the world.
Later, due to an accident, the dinosaurs in the park escaped, and the ferocious carnivorous dinosaurs attacked humans... The movie swept through a hot topic about Jurassic and dinosaurs around the world with realistic special effects and rich imagination, and also set the highest box office record in the movie.
The reason why Gao Jian sighed is that there are also such huge beasts on this planet like the movie. However, compared with the extinct dinosaurs on Earth, some of these beasts are larger and more fierce. One of them has a triangular head and thick limbs. The body is almost 100 meters long, and this size is simply incredible. The largest creature on Earth is the blue whale. The blue whale is about 33 meters long and weighs 190 tons.
Among the extinct dinosaurs, the earthquake dragon, the fragile double-cavity dragon and the giant dragon may be longer than the blue whale, but at most it is only about 60 meters and weighs about 150 tons. However, the huge beast shown in front of them is nearly 100 meters long and weighs at least 200 tons, which is unimaginable.
In addition to this beast, they also saw some other strange animals, including big and small, the large ones are dozens of meters to nearly a hundred meters, the small ones are only a few meters or even dozens of centimeters, or smaller. Of course, this is just the result of a preliminary scan. Some of these animals are in the ocean, some are in the forest, and some are in grasslands or oasis. Even in the desert, there are also these animals. Some animals even have unique wings to fly in the sky. This is simply a primitive life planet that is no longer primitive, that is, the primitive planet that has not yet produced intelligent life.
When everyone turned their eyes to the first beast with a triangular head that showed, the beast was ready to prey, and its target was an animal that was larger than it. The animal was nearly 150 meters long and weighed 300 tons. Although it was larger than this beast, compared with the body structure and characteristics of the two, the beast with triangular head was obviously carnivorous, while the larger one was vegetarian. When the carnivorous beast faced vegetarian animals, the result can be imagined.
