Chapter 659 The Lively Asteroid Belt
A few years ago, the asteroid belt, which had been lonely, empty and cold for countless millions of years in the solar system, finally became a little lively. But unfortunately, there was only one guest, and it was a machine.
But it’s okay. Finally, a well-made object emerged from the pile of rocks that only touched rocks all day long. However, the detection satellite was not up to par. It only detected two planets and withered after only a few years of activity. .
But I never expected that there would be a group of demons in the asteroid belt. In just a few days, the four giants in the asteroid belt would be occupied by evil humans, and then they would cause trouble and trouble...
No, there is no wind and rain up here, but construction and blasting.
If you want to build production bases for various equipment on these asteroids, a flat ground is indispensable, and some also need to dig out suitable sites for underground buildings.
On an asteroid, the fastest way to dig a hole is to blast. Although sound cannot be transmitted in a vacuum and the rumbling sound cannot be heard, you can tell by looking at the debris and dust that fly far higher and farther than on Earth. It was so powerful that some pieces even flew directly to the "sky" and never came down again.
After placing the equipment on the asteroid twice, Dong Chen left and then set off towards the next asteroid to put the equipment belonging to that asteroid.
Vesta, which was the first to land, was constructed the fastest, and the parts of the "Orion"-class large-scale mining platform that was built in the ship-selling citizen world were also placed on Vesta.
Because after it is assembled above, it can take the lead in performing mining tasks, and the minerals it mines and refines are the basis for future development.
And Dong Chen was not idle when he was selling ships to the Citizen World and waiting for the energy to recover. In addition to those large mining spacecraft, Dong Chen also made some machines that can mine minerals on the asteroids where the base is built. After all, the large spacecraft in the early stage It's definitely not easy to build, and it definitely takes a lot of time, so it's better to open some mines nearby first.
We have manufactured such equipment before, but now that we are free, we might as well use this time to manufacture a few more mining equipment, so that we can develop faster, right?
Ceres is also the eldest of the four giants in the asteroid belt. It is the planet Dong Chen is most curious about in the asteroid belt, but it is the last planet to land on this time.
Ceres was originally recognized as an asteroid, but later people discovered that it was wrong. After in-depth research, it was upgraded, and then it was upgraded from an asteroid to a dwarf planet.
This also allows Ceres to prove that it is more like a planet than a big rock in space.
After Dong Chen landed on it, he discovered that there was indeed water there, but it was all in the form of ice.
He encountered a piece of ice as soon as he got off the spacecraft, or Andromeda landed on a large piece of ice. Considering that 40% of Ceres' volume is water, it is not surprising to encounter such a landing place.
But it was this discovery that gave Dong Chen the idea of staying on Ceres for two more days, maybe there would be some big discovery.
So after sending out half of the equipment on Ceres, and then closing the arc gate to restore energy in the ship-selling citizen world, he asked No. 1 to search in the database to see if there was any drilling equipment. He wanted Build some drilling equipment and study whether there is any underground ocean inside Ceres.
Because Andromeda is not Aquila, it is not a professional exploration ship, and many professional detectors do not have them. Therefore, Dong Chen needs these equipment to help him detect Ceres. In addition, the place where the foundation is built must be changed. It cannot be built on a piece of ice. Tuo Tuo on.
Moreover, he also felt that it was very possible that there would be some kind of life on Ceres. Although it might not be complicated, the probability of life was very high.
It's because of that wormhole.
This place is close to Jupiter, and naturally it is close to the wormhole behind Jupiter. At a certain period, that wormhole threw a large amount of organic matter into the solar system, and then evolved into the current species on Earth on a suitable planet.
So from a probability perspective, all planets in the solar system may have received these organic materials. It just depends on whether the environment is suitable for the survival and evolution of these materials.
And if there is definitely water on Ceres, then it is possible for these substances to survive and even evolve.
After Dong Chen started construction in the asteroid belt and took away the peace of the asteroid belt, the initial island on the earth also became lively.
When the initial island opening time comes, all the prepared ships will be loaded with scientific researchers and equipment to land on the island.
At the same time, the surrounding warships and the officers and soldiers on the ship also entered a state of alert to prevent any trouble at this time.
However, there is only one pier on the island initially, and the official has no plans to build more piers. One pier has good access and is conducive to confidentiality, so many ships have to queue up.
After the people from China landed on the island with their equipment, scientists from the United States had already landed on the island. The American side happened to be opposite the pier, so they came faster and caught up with the first batch of people to land on the island.
The circle of scientists around the world is actually very small, so regardless of nationality, many people know each other. Even if they don’t know each other, a book you read, a paper you refer to, or a scientific article you read Magazine reports may be written by or about the person who wrote them.
On this island, although they are all loyal to different countries, they are relatively simpler than the outside world. They are all pure scientific madmen and academic styles. Even if some people come with different missions, On the surface, they will still have a good relationship with everyone. After all, sometimes completing tasks requires visiting different places.
"Mist, I didn't expect you to come here. You are much fatter than before. Did you slack off after winning the science award?"
"Ms. Su Xi, you are still so beautiful. Do you still remember me? We met at the last international science conference. I am so happy to see you."
"Hi, Davari, I didn't expect that we could study alien civilizations together. It's really incredible."
"Liu Sang, I'm so happy to see you. Your China's nuclear-powered electromagnetic catapult aircraft carrier is really beautiful. It shows that you have come a long way in ship manufacturing. I wonder if you are interested in coming to Japan to exchange and learn."
Of course, those who can reminisce here are the leading and big-name scientific research leaders, and the young people still have to carry equipment.
After Liu Xueliar said goodbye to the Japanese leader, he directed the people on the Chinese side to move equipment, and suddenly saw a familiar yet unfamiliar figure on the American side.
He frowned and thought for a long time. He always felt that he had seen this person somewhere, but he couldn't seem to remember.
This feeling was very strange. Although the man was very young and from the United States, he confirmed that he had seen that man before, but he just couldn't remember it.
He felt that maybe he was really old.
But just when he turned around to enter the dormitory, he suddenly remembered the electromagnetic catapult aircraft carrier that the Japanese leader had just mentioned, and he suddenly remembered who that person was.
"It's actually him?! What does the United States mean?"
PS: Please give me some support this month. The data last month was really miserable. There are basically no people for recommendation votes, monthly votes, and rewards. Is it because you feel depressed after losing in gambling? Friends who are on the rooftop, raise your hands...oh, I can't raise my hands...
