Chapter 137 Ground Detection

Just as everyone was silent, President Zhou Chengfeng of Parliament suddenly said: "Everyone, we cannot give up here. Without this three-dimensional fragment, where can we go?"

"Can other three-dimensional fragments be found in jelly?"

Zero, who was standing in the corner, immediately replied: "I have communicated with Jelly many times. It believes that there are relatively few places where a large amount of substance exists... Only this one has been found at present."

"Its material sensing ability is also limiting."

Zhou Chengfeng nodded and frowned and said, "Since that's the case, we can't give up here rashly. When we came here, we just used infrared telescopes to explore the world and launched some satellites, which are likely not exposed."

"We can send a force, take the gates of the sub-space, mine quietly, or look for mineral inventory of this civilization... Yes, they always have a warehouse, right? Just find a warehouse and move things into the sub-space, and solve the urgent problem."

"If you encounter danger, let our team members escape into the Asian space... and then let Your Highness transfer the space gate to avoid risks."

"No, President Zhou Zheng, it may not be good to use human forces!" Zhao Weichao shook his head, "You must know that silicon-based organisms have their own way of detecting carbon-based life. Once humans enter this world, they may be discovered immediately."

"I thought of a solution. We asked the spacecraft to bring a space door down, and then use robots to mine... Let our engineers stay in subspace, connect optical fibers to the excavator, and remotely operate through the space door, right?"

Another senior government official hurriedly said: "I also think this plan is feasible and the risks are controllable."

Zhang Ran listened to their discussion and tapped the tabletop with his fingernails.

Yes, you must log in!

It is even more dangerous.

This first planet you encountered must land!

What's more, there is a disappearing civilization here!

Maybe this civilization is more powerful than humans? It has obtained the other party's technological creation...it can reduce the development time for decades or even hundreds of years without reason...

Thinking of this, Zhang Ran made up his mind.

He took a deep breath and said slowly: "Then follow Zhao Weichao's plan, we will first place a batch of detection robots. We cannot escape directly. How can we find another three-dimensional world? Even if we find a warehouse and send robots to transport supplies, we will make a profit."

"We are missing a little bit more."

"What's more, we just want to evacuate without even meeting the enemy. This is absolutely not allowed."

"Start, choose a suitable location and place a detection robot at a fixed location. But we must also be more careful and cautious... There is only one order, execute it!"

...

Zhang Ran's order brought action by the military and more than a dozen related laboratories.

The entire preparation process will take some time.

During this period, he was still considering whether to disclose some information to all people.

In particular, the huge risks that may exist on this unknown planet...

Only by leaving the earth can you know the benefits of the parent star.

The parent star has almost unlimited resources and energy... Why did humans spend the ten years when the sun disappeared?!

"Hey, why is it so bad?"

The more I think about it, the more anxious it makes people feel. That's been abandoned for a whole decade... If I use those ten years...

The small geothermal energy of the parent star alone is infinite for humans. The total heat content of rocks and liquids above 15℃ is estimated to be about 14.5×10^25 joules, which is equivalent to about 4948 trillion tons of standard coal. The reserves of human coal are only 1.07 trillion tons.

This is only a depth of 5,000 meters. The further down, the more geothermal energy it is.

Adding to almost infinite matter, a rocky planet, most of the elements, will have more or less some.

Therefore, even if you steal a planet through war, it can even be said to be a very cost-effective thing.

"Your Highness, the reporter team no longer allows them to enter and exit the Oriental Panstone. Everyone cooperates very well, but these reporters want to know what the planet looks like and whether there is any problem..."

Zhang Ran said: "Just say that this planet is still under preliminary detection, not so fast."

"As for the risks on the planet... we can mention them in a vague way, so that everyone can be mentally prepared, but there is no need to report them all. After all, we don't know what is hidden under the earth..."

"Okay, the news is only released a little bit...I understand."

"So, should we mobilize about the possible war?"

"The training of militia can be a little bit tightened, there is no need to mobilize in advance... By the way, call Natasha over and ask her to write some reports of missing the heroes. The community movies tonight will also be changed to war movies."

All these matters were left to Sakurai of the secretary group to handle.

She is very good at dealing with these journalists, and she is also very smart, knowing what should be published and what should not be published.

A technological civilization is suspected to be extinct, and I don’t know what the reason for extinction is yet to be known.

Therefore, there is no need to inspire the high "humanism" sentiment among the people for the time being. There is no decisive battle yet, and even the intelligence is not perfect. It is unnecessary to inspire the people's sentiment too early.

You can even pour a little cold water in advance...

It is better to be mentally prepared for something like running away than to not have one.

...

So while waiting anxiously, time slowly passed.

On the third day, the corresponding shuttle carried more than 30 exploration robots and finally arrived above the planet!

These robots are like cars, each with a mass of 200 kilograms, and are equipped with snow tracks underneath, which can move in complex cold.

In addition, the robot is equipped with a two-meter-long robotic arm, which can flexibly grab some things.

In the shuttle, there is a space door leading to subspace!

As long as Zhang Ran is in the Dongfang Panshi, the space gate can be replaced at any time.

So the space door in this shuttle is nothing even if it is destroyed...

The materials searched by the robot can be sent directly into the space gate so that scientists can conduct material testing.

The only thing worth worrying about is that if closed in time, monsters on the planet may flow into subspace through this space gate.

Therefore, the corresponding metal rooms in the subspace are made of thick titanium alloy and isolated separately, which are 100,000 kilometers away from Kunlun Mountain. A large number of troops are deployed near the room, as well as corresponding security experts.

Even 2 billion tons of hydrogen bombs were arranged in the peripheral area, which could be detonated at any time.

"Are you 20 hydrogen bombs..." When Zhang Ran heard this number, his right eyelid couldn't help but jump a few times.

However, he didn't say much, these are very necessary protective measures. In addition, in the sub-space, he can create matter at will, which is equivalent to having top combat power alone.

...

"Please pay attention to all departments. The first scientific investigation of unknown planets and unknown civilizations has officially begun!"

The control department of the Dongfang Panshi launched relevant instructions, and the small shuttle slowly entered the planet's atmosphere at a relatively small angle.

In the absence of light, most of the atmosphere on this extremely cold planet has condensed into solids.

But the atmosphere has not completely disappeared, and there is still a small amount of gas.

This is because the planet has relatively active geothermal heat, and heat is continuously released deep underground, causing the snow to melt.

As time goes by, these gases will condense and snow again, thus forming a stable atmospheric environment with trace pressure.

Relevant staff are reporting the data collected by the shuttle machine as fast as possible.

"The atmospheric pressure is about one thousandth of the earth, which is quite thin. However, according to the thickness of the ice and snow accumulated on the ground, we suspect that the normal air pressure of this planet in the past was 1.5 times that of the earth's atmosphere, and is denser than the earth's atmosphere."

"The ocean is completely frozen."

"A large number of glaciers were observed. This planet should be earthquakes frequently, the crust was very frequent, and there were a large number of mountains."

"A magnitude 7 earthquake occurred in the equatorial area, and this earthquake...is likely caused by creatures underground."

For this action, several supercomputers were allocated for related calculations.

In addition, people launched six satellites in a row, and the cost of these satellites is quite high and can already detect a large part of the area.

The shuttle is loaded with a large number of scientific inspection devices.

After a while, more information reports came: "The concentration of carbon dioxide is 0.0018%, 0.079% carbon monoxide, about 9.8% oxygen, most of which are nitrogen, and more than 90%... This component is actually not accurate, because the condenser point of nitrogen is relatively low, and its proportion will be higher."

"Anyway, this is a planet with a relatively high oxygen content."

"The gravity environment is 0.8 times that of the Earth."

"The rotation speed is relatively fast. One cycle of 14 hours is equivalent to only 14 days a day on this planet."

"There is also a relatively strong magnetic field, which means that the core of the ground has not cooled down and is still in a relatively active state."

When the Geography and Meteorological Team reported these news, they were actually unsure of it. No one knew what was here...

Fortunately, the shuttle was running quite normally and slowly entered the atmosphere.

Because the snow on the ground was very thick, there was almost no good flat ground. In the end, I could only find a piece of relatively smooth ice. With a "boom", the bright plasma flames rebounded and landed safely.

"The shuttle lands safely!"

"Turn on the infrared device and explore the surrounding environment."

The place where humans landed this time was a large geothermal zone.

Nearby, there is a collapsed city.

This civilization may have been extinct for a considerable period of time, and under extreme cold conditions, building materials become extremely fragile and snow continues to accumulate, resulting in a large number of buildings collapse.

30 tracked robots emerged from the space door and explored in all directions.

Five minutes later, one of the robots collected some black things from a pit and conducted a simple material analysis.

An expert showed his thoughtful face. After a few seconds, he said: "These black substances are mainly silicon, carbon, phosphorus and boron, with a large amount of metal borane and a small amount of organic matter. Unless this is a chemical factory, under normal circumstances, too much borane will not be leaked."

"Why?" Zhang Ran frowned.

"Because the toxicity of borane is very high, inhalation of diborane will damage the lungs; inhalation of decanoborane will cause cardiac strength to decline; borane with slow hydrolysis can easily accumulate and poison the central nervous system, and damage the liver and kidneys. For carbon-based life, this is mostly the case...it has strong reductionism."

"But for other, different forms of life, it may be very excellent redox materials... For example, the Void Amoeba. It has a large amount of boron elements in its body."

As the results emerged, the atmosphere in the air almost fell to freezing point.

The expert said: "Of course, the ingredients are different from the Void Amoeba... The Void Amoeba's silicon element content is 22.8%, and now we get 29.7%; the Void Amoeba's phosphorus element content is 25.4%, but here it is only 12.3%. The difference in this proportion is actually quite large."

Hearing this, Zhang Ran nodded and said expressionlessly: "Continue to explore. Anyway, they are all drones, so it's nothing to be destroyed."

"We just need to hide the mothership well, there should be no problem."
