Chapter 2049 Life Planets in the Kuiper Belt(1/2)
"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 keep your head still, try to sit or lie down, and avoid passing through
Look out the window and if the problem persists, seek help from medical personnel."
The clear and sweet female voice broadcast echoed in the passage that was spacious enough for cars to pass. The floor paved with flexible materials under the feet curved upwards as it extended, until it was covered by the ceiling that was also wrapped with flexible materials that would not be injured even if hit hard.
Blocked, people's eyes can't help but be attracted by several light strips embedded in flexible materials that emit bright light.
This is also intentional. 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 windows on the left and right walls that are not far away,
It's easy to get dizzy by the rotating stars and planets.
Satan Space Station is the outpost of the new field plan 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, rather than through an artificial gravity system like the Delta Space Station.
Let the space station maintain Earth's gravity.
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, and 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 and affordable 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, when you look out of the window, whether it is the distant starry sky or the nearby planet, it is all rotating.
For people whose inner ear vestibular apparatus is overly sensitive, a movement or positional illusion will occur due to spatial positioning disorders, resulting in symptoms of vertigo, and in severe cases, they may even become unable to stand firmly.
Therefore, 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 medical room 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.
Therefore, 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 the nearby Saturn and the rings of Saturn, which were made up of countless particles and looked like a LP record.
Each spiral pattern is composed of countless particles ranging from tens of meters in size to microns in size. The outer shell is wrapped with a layer of ice shell, which reflects a bright halo under the sunlight.
Therefore, 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 zoomed in, like a telescope, allowing Asukaxin to see more clearly.
cried out.
"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 is attracted by Saturn's gravity, forming heavy rains, 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 along where Chiba Makoto pointed, and saw a number of virtual buttons on the window that was also a display screen. Each one had a different function. It introduced the cause of Saturn, its development trend, and interesting tips about Saturn's rings.
Knowledge, as well as introductions to the various satellites of Saturn, pictures taken by the detector, etc.
"It's amazing!"
Asuka Shin's eyes widened and he felt like he was almost turning into a bumpkin.
The glass is the 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 in 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. With so much glass,
They are all one community.
Asukaxin 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, a pleasant female voice sounded:
"Registration code: Soviubino, number: S/2016 J 3 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 1980
The orbital semi-major axis of 130,000 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 with sudden realization, he was still in flight school at that time and heard it reported extensively in the news.
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 measuring more than ten kilometers or dozens of kilometers. Even on the earth, it can be seen with an astronomical telescope, let alone the Satan space station floating near Saturn, which can be seen with the naked eye.
I have seen it, not to mention there are so many detectors and aircraft.
As a result, the space station had been constructed and operated for seven or eight years before this satellite was discovered. As a result, some so-called experts jumped out to criticize TPC. They openly and secretly ridiculed TPC and even pointed their noses at TPC.
Although the TPC has long since 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 can only be weakly refuted.
After all, the purpose of TPC when it was founded 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, and its soldiers became more and more
There are more and more weapons, and the weapons are becoming more and more advanced, and their power is becoming more and more terrifying.
How is this different from 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 it!" 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, we'll just wait for the news."
Asukaxin asked curiously: "Who is it?"
Chiba Cheng said matter-of-factly: "The detector."
"ah?!"
This answer was beyond Feiniao Xin's expectations.
"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. What if the tiger leaves the mountain again?
"
"Well..."
When Qianye 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, the city of Mars would have been destroyed.
It's in ruins.
Therefore, with this lesson learned, TPC naturally does not want Tiga to travel far away anymore. It would rather spend a lot of money to send a detector to the Kuiper Belt, and also wants Chiba Makoto to stay on Saturn where the cosmic network provides communication guarantees.
Space Station, in this way, no matter where a big problem like Sphia Sphere invasion occurs, Tiga can arrive in time.
"Yes." Asuka Shin giggled, his eyes rolling around because he 'finally' thought that he now had the identity of 'Ultraman'.
Should I talk to the captain?
But what to say?
What will happen if you say it?
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 this seemed very guilty, so he could only leave it like this.
I moved forward, but it didn't seem possible to just leave without saying a word.
"Oh, come here and take 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 very strong. It is recommended that you maintain a normal walking speed and avoid running or jumping."
It was obvious that they were almost running after detecting the flying bird. The condition was triggered, and the smart program quickly came out to remind it.
"Well..."
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 fell.
"Captain, you...you know everything."
"You 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 a new Ultraman, his strength is still very good. He defeated the Sphia Synthetic Beast in just a few clicks.
It seems I can retire with peace of mind."
Chiba Cheng nodded seriously, as if he was really thinking about 'retirement'.
