Chapter 215 Gliese Civilization
Just as people are celebrating their New Year and are arguing over population policy, the life planet next door has undergone a series of subtle changes.
There are three human artificial satellites floating on this planet, monitoring the surface conditions at all times. The reason why there are only three is that humans did not carry more artificial satellites when they set off from the earth. For such a long time, these three artificial satellites have not experienced any abnormalities on the surface, so people have gradually relaxed their vigilance.
Glitzer 581g, an ordinary earth-like planet. Because its mass is larger than that of the earth, it has a thicker atmosphere, mainly composed of nitrogen, carbon dioxide, water vapor, and a small amount of hydrogen sulfide, methane and other greenhouse gases.
Even if the light intensity of the central star is not high, under the influence of the greenhouse effect, the average surface temperature can still reach about minus 20 degrees Celsius.
The temperature of minus 20 degrees Celsius is already quite comfortable for life. Even the North and South Poles of the Earth have life tenaciously, not to mention alien creatures that have fully adapted to the environment.
Of course, the average temperature data does not mean anything, because the temperature difference in various regions of this planet is very huge...
Incredibly huge!
Due to being locked by the tidal tides of the star, Glitzer 581g always has only one face facing the star. The light-receiving surface is shining hot and the sea water at its center is almost boiling.
But on the other hand, it was an eternal night, which was extremely cold, with temperatures of more than minus 100 degrees Celsius, causing all the water to condense into thick ice, forming a permanent ice cap of several kilometers thick.
This scene of the two heavens of ice and fire has formed a relished astronomical wonder.
But the landscape of this planet is not the only one. According to the laws of thermodynamics, heat will spontaneously transfer from the high-temperature zone to the low-temperature zone. The huge temperature difference between ice and fire causes the air convection phenomenon of the entire planet to be extremely severe.
The heat and the steam steam evaporated from the sea water spontaneously transfer from the warm side to the cold side, which creates a huge storm.
When water vapor condenses when it cools, it forms rainfall. Due to the large amount of ice on the shady surface and the terrain is high, most of the rainwater will return to the ocean. This forms a water cycle for the entire planet.
Global large-scale air convection makes typhoons of CET-15 and CET-16 common. Sometimes, these violent hurricanes can reach level 18 or even level 20!
In order to adapt to this strong wind environment, almost all animals on this planet have the ability to dig holes. When strong winds blow, if you don’t hide in the hole, you will lose your chance of survival.
In addition, the oxygen content of this planet is very low, and anaerobic respiration does not produce much energy. Most animals are very short and crawling on the ground, which is a bit similar to reptiles on the earth.
Such a living body will only crawl out of the ground to seek food when needed.
In short, the dusk line is still the best living area on this planet. The temperature is suitable, the precipitation is abundant, and there is a certain amount of light. As long as you can avoid the huge typhoon, life can live well here...
Of course, the messy hurricane has also caused a huge obstacle to the entire scientific expedition operation of mankind. With the current productivity of mankind, if the scientific expedition team members are put down directly, it is estimated that they will go directly without going back...
Send some drones or survey vehicles to conduct on-site exploration, and within a few days, they will be blown away by hurricanes and then smashed heavily to the ground and scrapped.
For poor humans, every scientific instrument is precious. If there is no way to produce it on a large scale, one less will be damaged. So, until now, humans still cannot figure out the specific situation on the surface, and can only use satellites to watch from afar in the sky and monitor...
After all, life means opportunity, and also... crisis!
On this day, the wind is bright and cloudless, and it is rare to see good weather. The eternal sun hangs in the west and will never set.
A life form like a guinea pig emerged from the surface. It observed vigilantly, sniffing east and west, and sniffing keenly making foraging movements.
Those yellow and purple dwarf plants, with short leaves and extremely developed root systems, are called "Aruba" by the Glitzer people. In ancient times, they were once a kind of food that was not very delicious, and they were also a raw material for clothes...
The guinea pig approached a "Aruba" and looked up at the sky.
It is not an ordinary creature, but a mechanical mouse!
The powerful electronic eyes began to observe satellites far away 330,000 kilometers.
There was docked by the Earth Age, a huge spacecraft, and a large number of machinery were moving back and forth on the surface of the planet...
The mechanical mouse recorded all the data.
Yes, this galaxy does have the existence of intelligent life!
Even, the technological strength far exceeds human estimates.
But I am also very lucky. Just like the ultimate prediction of the historiography of new civilizations, most civilizations in the universe are mediocre. The Glitzer civilization is also in an unprecedented and irreversible Great Recession...
"Sir, this is the astronomical material we took. Please check it out!"
A Glitzer, who was only one meter long, was crawling respectfully on the ground. This is their unique etiquette culture that expresses respect.
Due to the structure of the body, these intelligent creatures do not need a stool or a bed. They habitually squat on the ground when they are resting, and curl up their entire bodies when they are sleeping.
If we follow human aesthetics, they look a bit like pangolins, with yellow skin covered with scales, and their two front claws are flexible and powerful, and they are obviously species that are good at digging holes.
Of course, at present, they no longer need to dig holes with their claws. In order to better engage in complex tasks, they usually trim their nails.
The chief was flipping through the astronomical reports with concern, one after another, a huge spacecraft, and various transportation equipment appearing on the surface. It was not particularly clear, but it was enough.
Everything shows that this foreign civilization is not a scientific study, but a root here!
Several other Glitzers were gathering in this small room underground to discuss: "According to our analysis, it is likely that the civilization that sent the signal more than 3,000 years ago originated from the solar system and was more than 20 light-years away from us."
"They've been sending signals...but we haven't replied."
