Interstellar Industrial Age

Jupiter, Callisto.

A small spacecraft is slowly approaching this huge planet. This is an unmanned spacecraft, ready to go to Callisto to collect samples.

After detection by various detection instruments, Callisto is composed of 40% ice and 60% rock. It shows that it is a crater, which is very old. According to scientific speculation, these craters on the surface of Callisto may be With a history of 4 billion years, it plays a very important role in investigating the origin and evolution of the solar system.

The unmanned spacecraft landed on Callisto very slowly. With the opening of the hatches, construction vehicles continued to drive out, and then began to knock on Callisto like a curious baby. Tap and beat, collect samples one by one.

On the 'Kwafu' spacecraft, scientists have become busier. Samples collected from Jupiter's satellites are constantly coming together. Scientists need to test and analyze these samples in order to find what they want.

There was also a spacecraft on Ganymede slowly descending. On this spacecraft, Liu Daoming and Li Jing seemed a little excited.

As scientists who study biology, this time around the solar system scientific expedition, they have gained a lot, discovered extraterrestrial life on Mars, and people have not returned to the earth, the Nobel Prize Committee decided to award the two again. The Nobel Prize in Biology or Medicine for the first discovery of extraterrestrial life on Mars.

Like Callisto, Callisto also contains a large amount of water, and the proportion of water on Callisto is even greater, almost all of which can be said to be a Mercury.

Liu Daoming and Li Jingxuan also concluded that there must be life on Ganymede, so they couldn't wait to land on Ganymede, ready to collect samples in person to find life on Ganymede.

The spacecraft landed very smoothly on the surface of Ganymede. Soon, the hatch opened slowly, and the two drove out each with an engineering vehicle.

"The surface of Ganymede is full of interstellar dust accumulated over a long period of time. If you scrape this interstellar dust away, you can see the ice layer."

Liu Daoming drove the construction vehicle to work, and the first step was to scrape off the thick layer of dust on the surface of Ganymede.

With the movement of the construction vehicle, the thick layer of dust was scraped away, revealing a thick layer of ice that shone with cold light.

The ice layers on Europa have existed for a very long time, and they were formed hundreds of millions of years ago. The so-called thousand-year-old ice and ten-thousand-year-old cold iron on the earth are simply insignificant compared to the ice layer here.

"Humph~"

With the rapid drilling of mechanical drilling,

The ice chips kept flying.

"The ice was so thick that we didn't drill through it at all."

Soon, Li Jingxuan couldn't help being discouraged. There was too much water on Ganymede, and the ice layer on the surface was too thick. Although the machinery they controlled was very advanced, it was not enough to penetrate the ice layer. far.

"It seems that there is no way to do it. You can only use the rails on the Kuafu spacecraft to run, use the rails to blast out a hole, and then take a private anti-gravity aircraft to go down."

Liu Daoming soon stopped drilling the hole. The ice layer was too thick, and the ice had been condensed for hundreds of millions of years and squeezed by the pressure between each other. These ices were very strong and extremely hard.

Soon the two returned to space in the spacecraft again, and contacted the 'Kuafu' spacecraft to let the Kuafu spacecraft use the rails to run away the hard ice.

"Ready to run on the rails~"

"3, 2, 1 launch~"

Soon, the 'Kuafu' spacecraft was accompanied by a burst of light, and a red projectile shot out from the 'Kuafu' spacecraft.

This red projectile is like a red ray, which is very fast in an instant, disappears in the field of vision in the blink of an eye, and bombards directly towards Ganymede.

The principle of rail running is very simple. According to Einstein's mass-energy formula, the faster the object, the more energy it carries. According to this principle.

Scientists have tried to accelerate the hard projectile. When the speed reaches a certain level, the projectile will have unparalleled terrifying power.

The red projectile was like a ray, which soon cooled down because the temperature in the void was too low, and finally disappeared into the pitch-black void.

But it didn't take long, I saw that a place on Ganymede, which was running quietly in the void, suddenly seemed to be hit by some invisible powerful force.

"Boom~"

Where the surface of Ganymede was attacked by the rail surface, the terrifying power carried by the rail run was released in an instant. In an instant, countless ice cubes flew over, and the thick ice layer formed over hundreds of millions of years appeared like a spider web. The cracks continued to extend in all directions.

In the core area, the thick layer of ice was directly pierced by this terrifying force, revealing a huge hole, which was several kilometers in diameter and bottomless, like a terrifying dark monster. Devour everything that goes into it.

"Send a small unmanned anti-gravity vehicle first~"

Liu Daoming didn't rush down when he saw the huge hole on Ganymede.

Soon, a small private anti-gravity aircraft only the size of a car landed quickly towards Ganymede, and continued toward the depths of the ice along the hole blasted by the rails.

"The depth has exceeded 50 kilometers, and the hole is getting smaller and smaller. I wonder if the rail gun has completely penetrated the ice layer?"

Through virtual technology, Li Jingxuan remotely controlled this small private anti-gravity aircraft to continuously descend towards the depths of the hole.

The total amount of water contained in Europa is too much, and its ice layer is too thick, with a thickness of hundreds of kilometers. It is not easy to penetrate such a thick ice layer.

Soon, the aircraft descended to the deepest point. The opening here is already very small, and it is difficult for small aircraft to pass through. Fortunately, the rail run really penetrated the thick ice layer.

"Chichi~"

The laser cutter on the small aircraft began to work, cutting the ice in the hole, and constantly expanding the gap, so that it could be better detected later.

Soon, a small underwater probe was thrown into the water and began to probe deeper underwater.

"The temperature has risen to about 2 degrees, and the specific heat capacity of water is the highest. Where there is water, the temperature difference is relatively small."

"But it's too dark. Even in such a dark environment, the strong light can't see too far."

Liu Daoming is remotely controlling the underwater probe, and at the same time pays close attention to the data sent back by the probe. On the other hand, a small private anti-gravity aircraft is also beginning to collect the ice and water here, and transport the collected samples back to space. in the spaceship.

"Haha, there really is life on Ganymede. Amino acids are found in the water on the surface."

Li Jingxuan also started to test the collected samples without being idle. He soon laughed happily, because amino acids were immediately found just from the water from the top layer, which means that Ganymede There is life on it.

Over time, more and more samples were obtained, and major discoveries were soon made.

"What the hell is this?"

"There are so many microbial groups surrounding it. The core of this moon is completely extinguished. It stands to reason that it is impossible to have active volcanoes like Mars."

"Could it be that the life on Ganymede was born from this kind of thing?"

Liu Daoming looked at what was under the microscope, something that had never been found before. It looked a bit like a protein, but it was not a protein.

Surrounding this unknown substance, a large number of microbial groups survive, and even a huge microbial ecosystem has evolved.

"Genetic substance?"

The news soon returned to Earth. When Qin Yi saw this thing, he couldn't help but widen his eyes. It was hard to believe that this thing would appear on Ganymede.
