The Technology Tree of Xueba - Chapter 406
The Endeavour spacecraft is gradually approaching Ceres. He is the only dwarf planet in the asteroid belt, but it is very compact, only about one-third the size of the moon.
The gullies on Ceres are vertical and horizontal, and the texture of the rock formations is relatively loose.
The Endeavour spacecraft hovered at a height of five to five meters above the surface of Ceres.
After Zhou Yu received news that the spacecraft was stationary, he climbed out of the protective cockpit.
Scientists are already in the spaceship’s lobby.
Zhou Yu said happily, “This trip was a great one, and no one was sick because of a long journey in space.
We have reached Ceres, the only dwarf planet in the asteroid belt.
Ceres is already the farthest planet we can safely control. We need to analyze its value and even use it as a springboard to develop resources on Jupiter. “
Zhou Yu only told scientists about the future long-term planning, and now they can only complete the initial exploration of Ceres.
Reaching the asteroid belt is already the safe limit distance that the spacecraft can now travel.
Flying further away, communication and energy issues are limited, and the Earth’s technical support cannot be obtained at all.
They are like a lone sail in the ocean, which can be swallowed by the ocean full of danger at any time.
Within the safe distance of the spacecraft, there are Venus, Mercury, and Mars waiting for human development. They are not in a hurry and have no technology to develop Jupiter.
The asteroid belt is very rich in resources. They will provide abundant raw materials for aerospace development. This area cannot be abandoned.
Scientists wear space suits, and smart robots carry equipment.
They jumped off the spacecraft and came to Ceres. This is the first time that human beings have set foot on Ceres.
In the area where the spacecraft landed, most of Ceres’s ground is gravel. These sand particles are very soft, and people will directly sink when they step on the ground.
Scientists are riding anti-gravity equipment and hovering above Ceres.
Scientists separated according to their projects and began to explore the situation of Ceres by region.
The geological group was the first to obtain Ceres data, and they only needed the rock formation specimens collected by the detectors on the microsatellites and intelligent robots.
They can analyze the geological composition of Ceres.
Cao Dajiang, the leader of the geological team, drove the anti-gravity equipment and found Zhou Yu and others who experienced Ceres on a hard rock mountain.
Cao Dajiang conveyed the message to Zhou Yu through the quantum bracelet: “General Zhou, our geological team has already verified the basic situation of the geological composition of Ceres.”
Zhou Yu took off in place, because Ceres’ gravity was very small, he directly jumped a distance of more than 30 meters and came to the vicinity of Cao Dajiang.
“Is Ceres rich in resources? What are its characteristics?” Zhou Yu asked with concern.
Cao Dajiang will immediately report: “General Zhou, Ceres is a dwarf planet composed of carbonaceous and silicate. It is rich in iron, nickel, aluminum, copper and other metals, but has no mining value.
Oculus occasionally has some small veins, but we can’t even recover the transportation costs when mining these small veins. “
Zhou Yu was not surprised when he heard Cao Dajiang’s introduction. The content of a certain metal in the planet is not necessarily related to the veins of this metal.
The content of aluminum in the earth’s soil is very rich, and the gold and silver reserves in the earth’s seawater far exceed the giant veins. But these have no mining value.
Now people can extract rare metals and precious metals on a small scale in seawater. No one has ever extracted aluminum metal from soil.
Zhou Yu continued to listen to Cao Dajiang’s report.
“There are few giant veins that can be mined on Ceres, only some very scattered small veins.
The minerals on Ceres are also very ordinary, and any kind of minerals on it are available.
30% of Ceres’ geological composition is composed of water, and most of it is permafrost and ice crystals.
But we are drilling on Ceres geology based on intelligent robots.
We can get exact results, Ceres has a core composed of iron and nickel.
Ceres’s core is affected by the gravitational pull of the sun and the eyes, and some of the cores become fluid and flow in a small area.
In this state, the Ceres core generates a certain amount of heat.
This heat melts the ice crystals in the geological layer, and some liquid water exists in the deep crust of Ceres. “
Zhou Yu heard the news, his voice was a little trembling, and asked again: “Cercus has liquid water on it, there is really liquid water.”
Cao Dajiang nodded solemnly: “We have obtained specimens, and there is indeed liquid water in Ceres’ crust.”
Zhou Yu confirmed the truth of the news, and he immediately convened scientists to start discussing the matter.
The presence of liquid water on Ceres is an important news.
Water is the source of life. In the process of forming organic matter, water must be involved, and it must be liquid water.
The scientists acted immediately, and they first had to find a source of liquid water deep in Ceres’ crust.
Then check if there is life in these liquid waters.
The Geological Unit started to operate, they were probing near previously detected water sources. A source of liquid water deep inside Ceres’ crust was soon discovered.
Zhou Yu said with a serious expression: “Everyone be careful, this is a very scarce liquid water source on Ceres.
We must explore carefully and carefully record every detail.
We may discover the origin of life by exploring this source of liquid water. “
Scientists soon discussed the conditions needed to explore the liquid water source based on the specific conditions of the scene.
Based on the conditions laid out by the scientists, the engineers began to design specific processes to explore the liquid water source.
When everything is ready, the engineer directs the intelligent robot to start immediately.
They carefully excavated a deep well on Ceres and gradually approached the source of liquid water.
“I dug it out soon ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ Be careful, everyone must be careful.”
The intelligent robot quickly dug through this liquid water source. Xinghuo Technology was very careful not to let machinery interfere with this liquid water source.
Advanced equipment began to detect the specific situation of the liquid water source.
Collect the temperature, water pressure, oxygen content, and constituents of this liquid water source. Focus on the analysis of the presence of organic matter in the liquid water source.
“Zhou Zhou, found an unknown life, we found a new life on Ceres.” The scientists saw the data given by the instrument and were pleasantly surprised by the report.
“Save this liquid water source and the life inside. From here, you can discover the origin of life. We must detect every data and protect it to make a new discovered unknown life.” Zhou Yu commanded.
Scientists quickly mobilized the most advanced equipment to gradually analyze the environment in which Ceres’ unknown life lived.
The scientists collected all the data, and they asked Zhou Yu to return home. Only the more advanced equipment on the earth can answer the questions raised by the unknown life of Ceres.
