Even so, many people still believe in the natural existence of silicon-based organisms, because humans cannot be omniscient and omnipotent. Silicon-based life is too popular among various science fiction novels, so popular that people are eager to discover them.

Maybe a so-called miracle was born on a certain planet?

Faced with this statement, some people who are flirting even wrote a long article to refute this view.

The connection capacity including silicon is quite poor, the number of silane silicon can only reach 8 and is unstable, and the substances composed cannot be too complex; silanes and their derivatives have poor thermal stability and are easy to condense, which is undoubtedly contrary to the high temperature environment required by silicon-based life;

Also, silicon-hydrogen bonds and silicon-silicon bonds are easily completely destroyed by various protic solvents, which means that common solvents such as water, ammonia and even hydrogen fluoride cannot be used as carriers of silicon-based life, etc....

Shu Xiao said seriously: "In fact, I don't believe that there are natural silicon-based creatures. Even if there are, it is likely to be artificial life. On the contrary, boron-based life with boron as the core is more likely! Alas, the difficulty of creating a kind of life is really comparable to that of the Creator. We are still far from this aspect!"

The more humans know about the universe, the more they can eliminate certain options.

Let’s not talk about this speculation for now. In short, people have great expectations for this planet to have complex life.

The vigorous design is in progress. Anyway, it is about to reach its destination. It will be able to replenish resources in a few years. Various high-performance materials will be smashed to death without any money. There is a small centrifugal wheel inside Kunlun Mountain, which can rotate at high speed to simulate a high-gravity environment. As it turns out, no matter how difficult it is, as long as you use a large amount of resources to smash, a breakthrough will be easily created.

When Zhang Yuan saw this list of materials needed, he was shocked. He looked at the aggressive scientists in front of him and couldn't help swallowing.

"You mean, the current budget is enough to build a Hawk-class destroyer?"

The scientist was not embarrassed. He was afraid that the world would be in chaos and lion spoke: "Captain, exploration in high gravity environment is an area that humans have not explored. So far, there are not many areas that humans have not explored, and the rest are big fish that no one can catch. This is a rare small fish that can be gnawed..."

"Anyway, there is no good research direction for everyone...even if it's just a small fish, it's good."

Zhang Yuan nodded slightly. What people are now better at is the industrial system in a low-gravity environment. Especially in heavy industry, low-gravity is more superior to high-gravity environments.

"You mean not only a few robots, but also a complete set of industrial systems that operate in high gravity environments?"

"Yes, it's true... Although this system cannot theoretically compare to a low-gravity environment, it may have any special inspiration? It's always good to be able to develop more science."

Zhang Yuan sighed in his heart. The progress of scientific development is too slow, and there has been no major progress in decades or 100 years. So much so that scientists began to pick up the things they had abandoned in the past and planned to start over. The whole process was actually very painful.

It sounds like it's nothing to be troubled, but just like the biochip technology that was abandoned at the time, if it is not practiced, who knows that it has such great potential?

There are many things that cannot be imagined by imagination alone. You must practice to know the mystery. The breakthrough point of the entire civilization may be among these abandoned things?

He nodded: "Okay, I still support it for the time being... However, this resolution needs to be demonstrated by the Science Conference. Anyway, it is just some resources, so there should be no big problem."

The scientist was relieved, "We also applied for two ramp-in engines to be installed on our scientific research spacecraft."

Zhang Yuan raised his eyebrows, this guy is still getting more and more aggressive!

He was not angry either, but just looked at the other party meaningfully. If he could give a reason for passing, it would not be impossible: "That is a military engine... The yield rate is very low. Often, five or six are made to have one qualified one. These qualified products must be used as military reserves."

"It's like this... With the advancement of technology, the cost of ramjet engines will gradually decrease. It's better to take this opportunity to test the performance on civilian spacecraft. On this planet, although ordinary nuclear fusion engines are enough, what about planets with higher gravity? Since ramjet engines will be installed in transport aircraft sooner or later, it's better to be early."

"So... it sounds a little reasonable." Zhang Yuan frowned and pondered. The young scientist was really good at speaking.

...

In this way, three years of preparation time passed quickly, and the Kunlun Mountain Fleet was gradually approaching its destination.

According to the consistent conservative policy, in order to strictly ensure the safety of the mothership, people will choose a peripheral planet similar to Pluto in the solar system as the landing point.

In this way, if there is a powerful civilization here, the entire fleet can communicate with it calmly, and no matter how bad it is, they can leave directly, and there will be no positive conflicts.

And generally speaking, planets without atmosphere are more suitable for mineral mining.

The observatory is always the most lively area. After the spacecraft has chosen its landing location, scientists are closely observing the specific trends of "Tepstar".

The first artificial detection satellite has also been launched in advance.

Yes, this super earth that may have life has been officially named "Tepstar", unlike in the past, it only has one code name.

There are three satellites around it, one of which has a mass of 88% of the moon, and is about 360,000 kilometers away from Tep.

The other one is smaller and has a mass of 7.5% of the moon.

The third one in the last are large meteorites with a diameter of 20 kilometers. They are not real satellites. They orbit within a large outer circle and there should be no risk of impact in a while.

The mass of Tep is much larger than that of Earth, and it is nothing to have many satellites. For example, Jupiter and Saturn in the solar system have at least seventy or eighty satellites, and the small Mars also have two natural satellites. As long as the mass gap between these satellites and the orbiting planets is relatively large, the so-called "three-body motion" will not be formed.

After these days of observation, people did not observe traces of artificial satellites above the atmosphere of "Tepstar".

This news also made all scientists feel a little regretful while feeling a little regretful. I can't tell what it is.

"The absence of artificial satellites does not necessarily mean that there is no intelligent civilization, because the gravity and air pressure of this planet are too high, making it extremely difficult to launch satellites. Even we have to rely on ramp engine technology to barely carry out space and aerospace activities."

"That's right...our detection satellites should be about to enter orbit!"

"Yes, first-hand information will be sent back soon!"

Everyone was extremely curious about the first information. Although it was already time to get off work, everyone was still waiting quietly in front of the large screen in the astronomical observation room.
