Six flames streaked across the sky, and then a row of parachutes popped open. This is the second time that ace companies have used parachutes to slow down vehicles off Earth. Because, only Venus has an atmosphere; last time it was Mars.
However, the effect brought by the parachute can only be regarded as marginal, far from the effect of Mars - the temperature here is too high, and the parachute can only last for more than ten seconds, and then it turns into a handful of flames and fills the sky. The fifth-level parachute actually lasted less than a minute! In the end, the result was not bad, and the space shuttle was finally able to slow down to a range where it could fly stably.
The dense atmosphere of Venus is the most severe test for the space shuttle. high temperature! Still high temperature! Violent friction makes the contact point reach tens of thousands of degrees. Even special materials like cheating can't isolate such high temperatures. Insulation layer technology has to be used - a protective layer made of thick, volatile substances at high temperatures. This is the rocket protection technology of the year; although it is a bit backward, it is easy to use.
Because of the heavy smoke and dust left by the protective layer, and the different speeds of each space shuttle, we did not line up in a cool manner at this time, otherwise we would really have to play with bumper cars.
Six billowing plumes of smoke stretched across the ancient sky, giving the dark red planet a different color.
As the altitude of the space shuttle gradually decreased, Mo Yun looked at the sky outside the porthole, feeling a little lost. The thick air and clouds of sulfuric acid are changing and violently surging. The sky is red, the earth is dark red, and red is the dominant color in everything around. But from the current height, the ground was still a little blurry, and strangely changing dark red clouds shrouded the earth.
The violent roar impacted Mo Yun's mind. It was the power of technology. Inexplicably, a burst of pride burst out in Mo Yun's heart, and he clenched his fist tightly - this is the life I want in my heart! Space exploration will leave me an immortal legend! Only in this era. Only when you are among such pinnacle technological products can you truly feel that the power of technology is so great!
The sky is gradually dominated by red, and the space shuttle is gradually approaching the main body of Venus' atmosphere - a position below 28 kilometers. 90% of Venus' atmosphere is concentrated here. Therefore, it has physical phenomena that can never be imagined on earth. Here, the atmospheric pressure has begun to reach more than ninety times the earth's atmospheric pressure, and the air here already has liquid-like characteristics - they are too viscous!
In such viscous air, the space shuttle is like a pebble sinking into the water. Although it is falling, it is extremely slow. The descent speed was only about ten meters, and the thick air even offset the gravity of the earth.
Gurgling... Mo Yun listened quietly to this unique sound outside the window; it was very similar to the sound of a submarine entering the water. However, this is the atmosphere. Purr. This is caused by the high-temperature surface of the space shuttle heating the surrounding air.
A pillar of fire rose into the sky in front, reaching a height of more than 30 kilometers, and the clouds at the top were already stirring.
This is a storm on Venus. They look fundamentally different from storms on Earth. It's slender and slow! But don't underestimate these storms, although the speed of most storms on Venus is only less than 100 kilometers per hour. But because of the dense atmosphere, these storms have unimaginable power - in terms of destructive power, they even exceed tornadoes on the earth.
Whoosh... The space shuttle is still falling, but the encounter with the storm is inevitable.
The engine started instantly, and the powerful acceleration made Mo Yun lean tightly on the chair, his chest felt like a big stone was pressing on him, and he couldn't lift his hands. It's really unimaginable. Under such circumstances, the pilots can still operate flexibly, making the space shuttle as nimble as a swallow.
Close! Mo Yun looked at the huge storm. It was basically a pillar of flame reaching the sky. Some places were obviously red and bright, which were areas where the temperature had exceeded the visible temperature.
Bang! It was like hitting a wall. After the plane trembled violently, it suddenly broke through the storm. In just a few seconds, the storm was already behind him. The engines were shut down and the plane continued its descent.
A bit of cold sweat appeared on Mo Yun's head, but there was no way to wipe it away. Everyone has put on their space suits.
"Everyone, pay attention, pay attention, we will land in 30 seconds. Landing in 30 seconds!"
Li Canglan's voice was still calm, and the previous storm did not have any impact.
Boom... The engine started again, but this time it was propelled in reverse; in an instant, all the seat belts were tightened, and Mo Yun could not control his body at all, and could only rely on the seat belts to pull him. The resistance of Venus's atmosphere, coupled with the reverse thrust of the engine, caused seven or eight times the gravity to act on Mo Yun in an instant; and all this weight was pressed on his chest. This is equivalent to the power of seven or eight people, all acting on the chest. The power can be imagined. After all, over the years, China has paid special attention to the body, which has also led to the revitalization of martial arts, and everyone's physical fitness is extremely high.
After a slight bump, the plane landed smoothly. This is because the pilot is highly skilled. When approaching the low ground, the speed of the aircraft has dropped to the lowest level, almost zero.
With a squeaking sound, the hatch slowly opened, and the "cold air" in the cabin suddenly rushed out of the hatch, causing the atmosphere of Venus to atomize a short distance away. These were sulfuric acid droplets formed after cooling. The air in the space shuttle cabin has a certain amount of moisture, but there is enough sulfur oxide and other substances in the atmosphere of Venus.
"Everyone, please move freely according to the plan. But please remember, you only have 70 minutes of activity. Take action, use your actions to prove your worth; use your achievements to open a new door in this era."< br>
Huh... Mo Yun took a deep breath, lifted his legs and walked off the plane. However, the huge gravity on Venus and the weight of the space suit itself caused Mo Yun to stumble hard. Activities in space for a long time lead to temporary muscle weakness; they are still unable to adapt to the gravity environment for a while. But everyone is used to it. Isn’t it like this every time we return to Earth?
It's just that the environment here is not friendly. The ground temperature is four to five hundred degrees, and some places are obviously dark red from the high temperature. Even this special space suit cannot completely isolate the temperature from all directions.
"Didi...warning, the ground temperature is too high, please stand and walk to reduce contact; don't crawl, you are not a moth." A simple automated program issued a warning immediately. If you were to lie down on the ground like this, it would be no different than lying on a charcoal-grilled iron plate. The only thing that was a bit incongruous was the sound of the program - the last sentence made the corners of Mo Yun's mouth twitch.
"Let's go!" Mo Yun gritted his teeth and immediately got up. Although the space suit is bulky, after several months of space training, some basic difficulties have been basically overcome.
This time landing and exploring Venus is a training for everyone by the master company, an expensive training. Therefore, at the last moment, unconventional means were used to eliminate those with no potential. Of course, because it was training, everyone acted independently, as long as they stayed within sight range. The most important thing is to be able to get back within 70 minutes. The reason why it is 70 minutes instead of the limit of 90 minutes is also to take into account various emergencies. After all, the first exploration is to build confidence for everyone; therefore, safety comes first.
