Chapter 2040 Living Planets in the Kuiper Belt
“Gentlemen and ladies, welcome to the Jupiter Orbiting Space Station. This station obtains artificial gravity through its own rotation. If you have dizziness, nausea or other discomfort symptoms, please hold Keep your head still, sit or lie down as much as possible, avoid looking through windows, and seek medical help if the problem persists."
The clear and melodious female voice broadcast echoed in the passage that is spacious enough for cars to pass. The floor paved with flexible materials under the feet bends upward during the extension, and it will not be hurt even if it is hit hard by the same package. The ceiling of the flexible material is blocked, and people's eyes can't help but be attracted by several light strips embedded in the flexible material that emit bright light.
This is also done deliberately. After all, this is the outermost rotating ring of the space station. The angular speed is very fast, and the Coriolis effect is easy to occur. If you often look at the left and right walls, there will be a piece of it not far away. If you aim up the window, you will easily be dizzy by the rotating starry sky and planets.
Satan Space Station is the outpost of the New Domain Project created by TPC. It is also an experimental space station because it is the first space station built by humans to obtain artificial gravity through its own rotation, not the Delta Universe. The space station maintains Earth's gravity through an artificial gravity system.
After all, humans will definitely build more and larger space stations in the future. We can't all use artificial gravity systems that consume huge amounts of energy. The energy consumption is not generally high. Gravity is obtained through self-rotation. Although for parts, In particular, the rotating shaft is extremely strong and has wear problems, but it is still economical in comparison.
Therefore, from the very beginning of the design of the Satan Space Station, the requirement to use rotating gravity was put forward.
Although rotation is good, it is not so friendly to some people. For example, because the space station itself is constantly rotating, looking out of the window, whether it is the distant starry sky or the nearby planet, is in rotation.
For people who are overly sensitive to the vestibular apparatus of the inner ear, an illusion of movement or position will occur due to spatial positioning disorder, resulting in vertigo symptoms, and in severe cases, they may even become unable to stand firmly.
So before entering here, the broadcasts on both sides of the passage repeatedly reminded people, and they also thoughtfully gave the medical staff’s call code, so that people can call the medical staff when they are unable to go to the infirmary on their own.
It's just that these are trivial to Asuka Shin. As a pilot, sitting on a rotating chair that rotates dozens or hundreds of times per minute, not only his expression remains unchanged, but he can also write and draw. These are the most basic requirements for a space station. This speed is nothing at all.
As a result, Asukaxin's steps were steady and his figure was not swaying at all. Everything in front of him felt extremely novel, because it was his first time to such a large space station.
Especially the windows on the wall, each one is floor-to-ceiling. Standing by the window, you can clearly see the starry sky outside, as well as Saturn with its huge rings.
"It's amazing!"
Asukaxin's eyes were shining, and he was about to lie on the window, staring intently at Saturn, which was so close at hand, and the countless other things. The rings of Saturn are composed of clear particles that look like LP records.
Each spiral pattern is composed of countless particles ranging from tens of meters in size to microns in size. The outer shell is wrapped in a layer of ice shell, which reflects a bright halo under the sunlight.
For this reason, although this ring is large, it is not chaotic, but has clear boundaries. Especially the space station, which is so close to the rings of Saturn, can even see the gaps between thousands of rings.
Although I had known that Saturn had rings, it was the first time that it was so close, which was an eye-opener for Asuka Shin.
After watching for a while, Asukaxin raised his hand and clicked on the screen, turning on the lookout function. The area facing his face was immediately enlarged, like a telescope, allowing Asukaxin to see more clearly. , and suddenly started shouting.
“Is this rain? It’s such a heavy rain. Oh my god, it rains on Saturn. It’s so powerful.”
Chiba Makoto said on the side: "Because the ice in the rings of Saturn is dissolving, the water turned into it is attracted by Saturn's gravity, forming heavy rain, and this phenomenon has been going on for a long, long time, so, The scale of Saturn's rings must have been more spectacular before."
"Captain, you know a lot."
". Is it possible? There is an explanation next to it. "
Asuka Shinobu looked where Chiba Makoto pointed and saw a number of virtual buttons on the window that was also a display screen. Each one was different. The functions include introduction to the cause of Saturn, development trends, interesting facts about Saturn's rings, introduction to various satellites of Saturn, pictures taken by the detector, etc.
“So awesome!”
Asuka Shin's eyes widened and he felt like he was almost turning into a bumpkin.
Glass is a display screen, which is not unusual.
Not to mention fighter jets, even some high-end cars are like this.
But there is so much glass here, and it is used on the space station. It has to withstand different pressure differences and temperature differences inside and outside. It is no exaggeration to say that the cost of a piece of glass can buy a small villa on Earth. Okay, so much glass, it’s all a community.
Asuka Shin was amazed by what he saw, and he tried to click on it. A picture immediately appeared on the glass in front of him. The background was a dark universe, and in the middle was a gray irregular stone. At the same time, it sounded pleasant to the ear. A female voice followed:
"Registration code Sovereigno, number S/2016J3 is a retrograde irregular satellite of Jupiter. It was discovered in 2016. It has a diameter of about 18 kilometers and a length of about 33 kilometers. It is named 1983 The orbital semi-major axis of 10,000 kilometers orbits Jupiter, The orbital inclination is 153 degrees, and the eccentricity is 0.4035."
"Oh, this is the new satellite of Saturn."
Asuka Shin said in sudden realization. He was still in flight school at that time and heard the news reporting it extensively.
The reason why there is such a big movement is that after so many years, Saturn actually has undiscovered satellites, and they are still so large.
This is not a small stone, but a large stone that is more than ten kilometers or dozens of kilometers away. It can be seen with an astronomical telescope even on the earth, let alone the Satan Space Station floating near Saturn. It can be seen with the naked eye, not to mention there are so many detectors and aircraft.
As a result, the space station had been under construction and operation for seven or eight years before this satellite was discovered. As a result, some so-called experts jumped out to criticize TPC, openly and covertly ridiculed TPC, and even pointed their noses at TPC.
Although TPC has long become a global organization and is now even more powerful, it does not mean that there are no other voices.
Criticisms of the TPC have always existed. Especially in recent years, the TPC has vigorously developed its armed forces, which has attracted a lot of criticism, and it can only refute it weakly.
After all, the purpose of TPC when it was first established was 'peace'. Former Director Sawai also gave speeches everywhere, asking countries around the world to put down their weapons and achieve global peace. As a result, when people were asked to put down their weapons, TPC itself vigorously developed its armaments. , there are more and more soldiers, more and more advanced weapons, and more and more terrifying power.
What is the difference between this and a bald eagle.
"Yes, the new satellite was discovered not long ago, but many people are curious about how it escaped people's sight before." Chiba Cheng looked at the huge cigar-shaped rock on the screen. This thing is very cruel to humans. It taught a hard lesson and let mankind know that even though their technology is very advanced, there are still many surprises in the universe.
Such a large space station has been built on Saturn, and hydrogen fusion materials can be mined from Saturn. Just when humans thought they knew a lot about Saturn, a new satellite popped up with a click, surprising humans.
"That's right!" Asuka Shin nodded and was about to continue reading when something suddenly occurred to him and he quickly asked: "Captain, didn't you say you were going to the Kuiper Belt?"
Confused by the news about Plasma Hundred Shiki and his father, Asuka Shin almost forgot about his mission this time. "We've already gone, let's just wait for the news."
Asuka Shin asked curiously: "Who is it?"
Chiba Makoto said matter-of-factly: "The detector."
"Huh?!"
This answer But it was too unexpected for Asuka Shin.
"Otherwise, I'll go over there." Qianye Cheng clasped his hands in front of him and said, "I agree, but some people don't agree. The lessons of Mars are still vivid in my mind, just in case. What to do if the tiger leaves the mountain?”
"Uh"
When Chiba Cheng said this, Asuka Shin also remembered it.
Monsters appear on Mars, but the reason why Tiga has not returned is because Tiga is far away in the orbit of Pluto, and the cosmic network there has been destroyed. If he had not accidentally turned into Ultraman, I am afraid that It was Mars City that was destroyed into ruins.
Therefore, with the lessons learned this time, TPC naturally does not want Tiga to run far away anymore. It would rather spend a lot of money to send detectors to the Kuiper Belt, and also wants Chiba Makoto to stay in the universe. The Saturn Space Station provides communication guarantee through the Internet. In this way, no matter where a big problem such as Sphia Sphere invasion occurs, Tiga can arrive in time.
"That's right." Asuka Shin giggled, his eyes rolling around because he 'finally' thought that he now had the identity of 'Ultraman'.
Do you want to talk to the captain?
But what should I say?
What will happen if you tell me?
For a moment, Asuka's confidence was so chaotic that he didn't even dare to look at Chiba Makoto. He turned his head subconsciously, but felt that this was wrong, so he quickly turned his body away, but it looked very strange. Feeling guilty, I could only move forward like this, but it didn't seem possible to just leave without saying a word.
“Oh, come here and have a look.”
As soon as Asukaxin finished speaking, the speaker on the wall next to him rang: "Please note that the Coriolis effect on the upper deck may be strong. It is recommended that you maintain a normal walking speed and avoid running or jumping."
< br>Obviously, everyone started running after detecting the flying bird. The condition was triggered, and the smart program quickly came out to remind it.
“Uh”
Asuka Shin quickly slowed down, but his arms were still swinging so fast that his hands and feet seemed uncoordinated for a while.
This look made Chiba Cheng feel very funny, and he wanted to take out his mobile phone and take a picture of Asuka Shin.
But he said deliberately: "But they are too careful. It doesn't matter if I go to the Kuiper Belt. Isn't there a new Ultraman?"
Asuka Shin's movements stagnated, and he almost lost his mind It fell.
"Captain, you. You know everything."
"I know, although this is a space station, it is also connected to the Internet. The video has been uploaded a long time ago, although it is new. Ultraman, but his strength is still very good. He defeated the Sphia Synthetic Beast in a few strokes. It seems that I can retire with peace of mind."
Chiba Makoto nodded matter-of-factly. , seems to be really considering 'retirement'.
Asuka Xin's heart began to beat faster when he heard this. He couldn't help but licked his dry lips and opened his mouth. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say, causing the scene to fall into a quiet embarrassment.
Fortunately, the intelligent program came to the rescue and said in a pleasant female voice: "The facilities in the space station are available all day long, but it is recommended that you maintain a normal day and night schedule."
"Uh, right? It's night, it's time to go to bed, hahahahahahaha."
Asuka Xin was laughing, and under the gaze of Qianye Cheng's burning eyes, the laughter became smaller and smaller, until finally I can't even stop laughing.
“.call.”
I don't know if the air conditioner was turned on, so Asukaxin felt a cold wind blowing through him, which made him feel uncomfortable all over.
"That. Captain" Just when Asuka Shin couldn't stand it anymore and was about to say something, the watch Chiba Makoto wore on his wrist started beeping, making Chiba Makoto lower his head. , also made Asuka Xin breathe a huge sigh of relief, and patted his chest as if he was surviving a disaster, feeling that he was almost killed by his gaze.
At this time, Chiba Makoto also saw the picture on the watch, and immediately pressed it with his finger. The glass window next to it immediately turned into a display screen, which simultaneously displayed the information received by the watch.
The starry sky that was spinning just now suddenly turned into a sky as blue as a gem, with clouds as white as cotton passing by, and below was an endless forest with lush branches and leaves. They were so crowded together that no trace of the ground could be seen from a high altitude, as it was all covered by branches and leaves.
Next to the forest is a rushing river. The water surface is quite wide, and the other side cannot be seen at a glance. The transpiring water vapor forms a hazy mist on the water surface.
The absolute natural beauty looks very spectacular, and the overhead shots give people an extremely shocking feeling.
“This is.” Such beautiful scenery immediately caught Asuka Shin’s attention.
"I said, this is a picture taken by a detector sent to the Kuiper Belt. Do you believe it?"
"How is that possible?" Asukaxin immediately shook his head, this is the Kuiper Belt. , which is four to five billion kilometers away from the sun.
At such a long distance, there is only a small point of light left in the sun, and almost all the heat is lost. The temperature of the stars there is between minus one and two hundred degrees. How can there be a forest?
Even if there are rivers, they have long been frozen into thick ice. How can they form a spectacular scene of galloping, let alone the existence of water vapor? This is simply impossible.
This video is definitely a spoof.
