Chapter 2037 The ninth planet?
"The ninth planet?" Asuka Shin shouted, then blinked twice and said doubtfully: "Isn't it Pluto?"
"."
Regarding this kind of "ignorant" remarks, Yumimura Ryo expressed that he was quite speechless. Even though Zero Flight School mainly teaches flight skills rather than academic knowledge, it is not such "ignorance".
Pluto being expelled from the planet is such a big deal. Although it may not be that big, but shouldn’t it be common sense?
Asuka Nobu's "innocent" speech made Yumimura Ryōto start to doubt life. Is it possible that what she considers "common sense" is unheard of for some people?
The back seat is a typical example.
Pluto has been expelled from the world for ten years, but this guy can still shout and express his surprise. It is true.
It is speechless!
Yomimura Ryo was restrained for several seconds before he said helplessly: "Pluto is no longer a planet and is classified as a dwarf planet."
Maybe this was a bit difficult for Asuka Shin, who had no common sense, so he added: "He is a dwarf on the planet, and cannot be counted as an adult on the planet."
"So that's it!"
Asuka Shin's sudden realization strengthened Yumimura Ryo's understanding of 'common sense'.
"So we found another planet." Asuka Shin finally figured out what was going on.
"Yes!" Yumimura Ryo nodded: "When the Space Development Agency used the space telescope to search for Lomus 3, it took a large number of photos. When analyzing these photos, it was discovered accidentally. A planet with a strange orbit.”
In fact, it was not so accidental. PWI first discovered this coordinate in the cosmic network, so the Space Development Agency began to retrieve photos taken by space telescopes in this area.
You don’t know if you look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it, and you will find a planet.
This is about the shooting principle of the space telescope. It is not like pressing the shutter button like an ordinary camera, but it requires continuous observation.
Just like mankind’s first black hole photo, the data collected alone is as high as 4.2 million GB.
So, usually, space telescopes focus on taking pictures, that is, focus on taking pictures wherever you need to see.
After discovering the new planet this time, we quickly carried out continuous observations and used supercomputers to initially give some basic data about the planet:
The diameter is about 1,200 kilometers and the volume is about the size of the moon. One-third of the planet is still in the Kuiper belt, but it is heading towards the sun along an almost vertical orbit. According to the current observed orbit, the planet will reach perihelion in 285 years.
Then it makes a big bend at a distance of 100 million kilometers from the sun. Under the terrifying gravitational pull of the sun, it flies out of the solar system at a faster speed. In the words of some astronomers, it is very much like human beings. When launching deep space probes, they will use the gravitational slingshot effect of massive planets such as Earth and Mars for acceleration.
Therefore, some experts are worried that this planet may have "ulterior motives". For example, it is a man-made or human-controlled celestial body that is using the gravitational slingshot of the star to accelerate. Otherwise, the orbit would be cut just right. , it is really unbiased, just entering the orbit of the sun and allowing itself to fly out.
Not only will it not be captured by the sun's gravity and become a member of the solar system or be torn apart by the sun, but it will also maximize the acceleration effect of the sun's gravity slingshot and bypass the eight major planets in the solar system. It will not be destroyed by these giant planets. The mass of the planet is affected by the gravitational pull.
This is difficult to explain by a 'coincidence' or a natural wonder.
Also, how could such a large star not be discovered until now if it was flying into the solar system instead of orbiting the sun in the Kuiper Belt?
After ruling out other reasons, the answer is obvious.
That is this planet. It is probably a wandering planet, which is an interstellar planet that does not orbit any star and wanders in the galaxy and even the universe.
If it was really just a wandering planet, it would be a huge profit.
First, it has extremely high scientific research value. After all, this is the first time that humans have encountered an interstellar planet. There must be various mineral deposits on it, and maybe there are also minerals that are not found in the solar system.
Taken together, TPC has made a decision to carry out large-scale scientific research and mineral exploration on the moon, and must not let it slip away in vain.
Before that, it is necessary to ensure the safety of this planet. If it is an interstellar fortress of cosmonauts or something else, if unarmed scientists go up there, it will be like delivering food.
It’s not that TPC is too cautious, but there is precedent.
Eight years ago, Mechanical Island left a deep impression on everyone. Such a big island could move through the universe at such a fast speed, and it was equipped with so many weapons and equipment.
If it weren't for the mechanical island running entirely on intelligent programs without manual operation, coupled with Ultraman Tiga's desperate battle, the earth would probably have been turned into a white ground by the bombing of the mechanical island.
And now there is a planet more than a thousand kilometers away, and it is heading straight towards the sun. It is really difficult for people not to think about it, for example, whether it will hit the earth, or simply hit the sun.
Even if they do nothing but change their orbits and pass by the Earth, the gravitational influence of the two massive planets will be enough to cause a huge disaster to the Earth.
Think about it, the moon only orbits 380,000 kilometers from the earth, and it can cause more than 700 trillion tons of sea water on the earth to surge.
And this planet is much larger than the moon. Once it comes near the earth, it will definitely be a doomsday disaster.
Therefore, TPC hurriedly sent Yu Mimura Yoshi to pilot the Victory Condor to join Chiba Makoto in the orbit of Pluto.
It’s not to help out, but to provide a place for Chiba Cheng to stay.
Although Chiba Makoto is Ultraman, he cannot maintain his status as Ultraman forever. Just like a ship, even if it can sail on the sea for a long time, it still cannot do without land.
Therefore, there still needs to be an environment suitable for humans for Chiba Makoto to settle down. Currently, TPC’s fastest aircraft is the Victory Condor, so he hurriedly sent it over so that he could go and have a look as soon as possible. What the hell is going on with this planet.
“So that’s it!”
Asuka Shin suddenly realized, he said, why is Mimura Ryo the only one to come and co-author to be the driver?
But he immediately said with great interest: "It's a wandering planet in the universe. How long do you think it has been flying in the universe? What will its surface look like? I'm really looking forward to it."
"."
Yomimura responded with no words, but in his heart he wanted to shout 'how do I know'.
She has never seen a wandering planet, and this is her first time. Does this guy think I know this?
Fortunately, this 'torture' did not last long because the destination was reached.
Satan Space Station on Saturn. This is the second largest space station in the TPC, second only to the Delta Space Station between the Earth and the Moon. It has thirty or forty berths for light spacecraft, and can berth ten 100,000-ton space transport ships at the same time. It is the first step of mankind. An outpost of the outer solar system.
“It’s so big!”
Asuka Shin looked out the window of the ship at this space station that was so huge that it almost filled his field of vision, and his eyes almost opened in shock. came out.
It has always been said that humankind's science and technology is advanced, and TPC is vigorously promoting new field plans. But at this moment, we can truly intuitively feel how advanced humankind's science and technology is and how huge the new field plans promoted by TPC are.
The space station is as huge as a small city, just floating in space, with large and small aircraft coming in and out. It is completely in line with the space station in human imagination.
"What is that? How did it land on Saturn?" Feiniao Xin raised his hand and pointed at an aircraft that landed on Saturn after flying out of the space station. It felt very strange.
Isn’t it said that Saturn is a gaseous planet?
How to land on it? Is it suspended in the air?
"Oh, this," Yumimura Ryo drawled, but his right hand was quickly typing on the small keyboard next to him. He used the smallest movement and the fastest speed to retrieve information about the Satan Space Station, and then he was slow and orderly. Said: "The resource ship is going to collect fusion materials. "
Then he lowered his gaze and looked at the small screen with his peripheral vision to give Feiniao a 'science message': "The construction location of the space station is not decided casually, but has a scientific basis.
Because the space station uses fusion as energy, helium is There is a huge demand for helium 3, and in the solar system, apart from the moon, the two gaseous planets Jupiter and Saturn have the most helium 3.
Saturn is relatively calm compared to Jupiter and has many satellites. There are several massive satellites, especially Jupiter Titan not only has a large amount of mineral deposits, but also has methane lakes that can be used as energy sources for mining, while Europa has a large amount of ice that can be used as a source of fresh water.
Saturn was selected as the outpost after comprehensive considerations. The site where the station was built.”
After reading the information about Satan Space Station in one breath, Yumimura Ryōzai took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it. He evaluated himself and felt that he had not lost the style of his predecessors.
But
"Senior, these are all in the manual of Satan Space Station."
Asuka believed a word and directly broke Yumimura Ryo's defense. If not Being restrained by the seat belt, she almost got up and beat Asuka Shin, but even so, her teeth were itchy and she wanted to turn back and bite him. She almost gritted her teeth and said, "Asuka Shin!!!"
" I’m here, senior!”
"You give it to me."
Just when the anger was about to break out, a voice connected to the communication channel: "You are finally here. I have already coordinated it. You don't need to queue up. Come directly to the third hangar."
Yomimura Ryo was inspired, and his anger instantly suppressed, saying: "Yes, Captain Chiba!"
Then he followed the guidance of the tower of the Satan Space Station and flew towards the third hangar.
There is no need to worry about it. Autopilot takes over and computer navigation takes over. The Victory Condor automatically flies into the space station along the calculated trajectory. Then the hatch is closed and disinfection and oxygenation begin.
After completing this series of procedures, the hatch was unlocked, allowing Yumimura Ryo and Asuka Nobu to leave the Victory Condor.
Chiba Makoto was already waiting outside. After Yumimura Ryo jumped down, he immediately stood at attention and saluted, and Asuka Shin quickly followed suit.
Chiba Makoto raised his hand and returned the salute, saying: "Thank you for your hard work, Yumimura team member, please take a rest first, Asuka, come with me."
"Yes!"
“Yes!”
Yumimura Ryo held his helmet and followed the staff to the temporary lounge, while Asuka Shin followed Chiba Makoto and asked doubtfully: "Captain, what's wrong?"
Chiba Makoto's His expression was a bit serious, and he didn't look like he was up to something good.
Chiba Makoto pursed his lips and said: "Asuka, how much do you know about the Type Zero aviation plan."
Hearing the name, Asuka Shin's face instantly smiled. He disappeared and was silent for several seconds before saying: "That was a plan with the goal of exceeding the speed of light. Dad, he was the first test pilot."
"The pilot who disappeared into the light."< br>
".Hmm!"
Chiba Makoto stopped, Asuka Shin quickly stopped, looked up and saw that they had arrived at the door of Gnaku.
"The plasma Hyakushi driven by your father has been found." Chiba Cheng said, swiping the automatic door with his ID card.
Amidst the sound of "beep", the sealed airlock door slowly opened, allowing a silver-gray flat plane inside to enter the eyes of Asuka Xing.
"Dad."
He had heard about the plane that made his father disappear countless times. Now that he was right in front of him, Asuka Xin couldn't control his emotions.
Chiba Makonori continued: "I found it in the orbit of Pluto. The surface is not damaged and it is empty inside. I have notified the Space Development Agency, and they are notifying the original Zero Flight Method team to come. Here, check the whole machine to see if it can Discoveries have been made through flight records and airborne detectors. "
This is also something that everyone is concerned about, that is, where has the plasma gone over the years, and whether it has reached or even exceeded the speed of light, and where it is now. What happens when we reach and exceed the speed of light?
There is still no trace of the flying birds and horses. The only way to understand what happened that year is through the records of the airborne detectors.
Therefore, I don’t know how many people are praying extremely devoutly at this moment, hoping that the great God of Science will protect the detector on the Plasma Baishi from damage and that the recorded disk can read useful data.
Especially those who participated in the Zero Aviation Method want to use these records and data to prove that there is no problem with the Zero Aviation Method. The original accident was just an accident. Zero Aviation Method cannot be sentenced to death because of an accident and affect their future. Deny their efforts and question their abilities.
In addition to their prayers, there are also others who are praying that the plasma Baishi did not exceed the speed of light. They are naturally the beneficiaries who are closely related to the Max power system.
Since the Plasma Hundred Shiki incident, Max Dynamics suddenly became the dominant company and dominated the high-level power system of TPC. It was a monopoly, but they did not want a competitor to appear to share their interests and The right to speak.
But these will not be changed by the will of an individual or a group, because the discoverer is Ultraman Tiga, and he has been staying next to Plasma Hyakushi since the discovery, and has done nothing at all. Opportunities for other things.
