Chapter 361 Life Planet
"Tas, calculate the remaining fuel in the spacecraft and make a plan for the route to Planet V."
"Captain Pang, the spacecraft has 30% remaining fuel. Going to Planet 5 will consume 10% of the fuel. It will consume about 5% of the fuel during landing. Take off and return to the planet will consume at least 20% of the fuel. If you land on Planet 5, you will not be able to perform the return mission."
Pang Xuelin said: "I will not consider the take-off and return plan for the time being. If Murphy can be found in Planet V, then use her shuttle to refuel. If Murphy is not found, then hibernate in Planet V and wait for rescue."
"I understand, Tass will make a flight plan right away."
...
Planet V is only about 10 million kilometers away from Planet VI. This planet is located on Lagrangian l1 under the joint action of red giants and juicy planets.
The so-called Lagrangian point, also known as the translation point, is a five special solution to the restrictive three-body problem in celestial mechanics. A small object is at a point in space under the gravitational force of two large objects. At this point, the small object remains basically stationary relative to the two large objects.
In the solar system, the famous Trojan asteroids are located at the Lagrangian point between the Sun and Jupiter, and are in orbited with Jupiter.
Here, the orbit of Planet V is basically in sync with the planet like Wood.
Pang Xuelin only took a week to successfully arrive over the synchronous orbit of Planet 5 by driving a shuttle, and then captured a synchronous orbit relay communication satellite left by Murphy.
"Captain Pang, the communication log on the relay satellite showed that on the day of landing, Murphy sent an encrypted information about Planet V to Eternal Night through the relay satellite, and no information was released again."
Pang Xuelin frowned and looked at the large green emerald-like planet below, saying: "First analyze the encrypted information, and then lower the altitude to conduct a comprehensive observation of Planet No. 5. I need all the information of this star."
"yes!"
Three hours later, all the information about Planet V appeared in front of Pang Xuelin.
Planet V has life.
This is the first message Murphy sent back to Eternal Night through the relay communication satellite.
Immediately afterwards, there is a large paragraph of description about Planet V.
Planet V has a complete atmosphere, of which oxygen accounts for 24%, nitrogen accounts for 73.4%, various inert gases such as argon account for 1.7%, and the remaining 0.9% are carbon dioxide, hydrogen, ozone and other gases.
Planet V does not have oceans, but there are many large and small lakes and rivers.
Moreover, the overall direction of the river of Planet V is from north to south or from south to north.
The poles are covered with glaciers and plateaus, and the water from these lakes and rivers mainly comes from the melt water of glaciers at the poles.
The surface of the planet is covered with large areas of forests and grasslands.
The surface moisture is evenly distributed, and there is almost no desert.
In addition, there are many wild animals that Murphy has never seen before living on this planet.
"It's so strange. Planet V is a perfect human habitat. How could Murphy suddenly lose contact with Eternal Night after entering?
Could it be that Murphy encountered some kind of invincible powerful creature on this planet?
But thinking about it, the possibility is not high. Even if some powerful creature attacks Murphy, it is impossible to block the connection between the shuttle and the communication satellite over the synchronous orbit.
Or is there something wrong with Murphy's shuttle that caused communications to be interrupted?"
Pang Xuelin couldn't help but frown.
"Tas, does the encrypted information have the location coordinates when Murphy logged in?"
Pang Xuelin said in a deep voice.
"Some. But..."
"But what?"
"However, the pictures sent back by Murphy showed that the area where she landed was a junction of grasslands and forests, and there was also a lake nearby. But according to the coordinate points she provided, satellite photos showed that there was only forest in that area..."
"How could this happen? Could it be that there was a problem with the coordinates sent back by Murphy?"
"It's not clear, it takes a shuttle to draw a global topographic map and compare it before Tas can give the answer."
"Okay, Tas, from now on, the shuttle will maneuver and change the rails in the situational tracks to draw a global topographic map."
"receive."
...
In the next few days, in addition to drawing a global topographic map, Pang Xuelin spent the rest of his time on a comprehensive analysis of the planet No. 5 data formed by the shuttle.
But no matter from which angle, Planet V has a complete ecosystem, its natural environment is completely in its original state, and has not experienced any development of smart civilization.
"Tas, it seems that we can only go deep into the inner world of Planet V to find the secret of Murphy's loss of contact."
Looking at the emerald-like planet under the porthole, Pang Xuelin said in a deep voice: "Let's go."
The shuttle lightly turned over and floated down towards the dark green planet below.
Three hours later, the shuttle stopped one thousand meters from the surface of Planet No. 2.
What appeared in front of Pang Xuelin was a majestic green world.
The tall trees were nearly a hundred meters short, and the tall ones reached four or five hundred meters, and the branches and leaves spread out like umbrellas.
Small trees cover dozens of acres of land, and large trees cover hundreds of acres of land.
There are countless creatures living on each giant tree, and these creatures form a complete ecological chain.
Some trees have strange fungi, and spores that drift away with the wind swam among the trees.
There are huge birds, flexible monkeys, and squirrel-like animals that look well-behaved and cute but have sharp fangs...
There are also giant pythons as thick as buckets, beasts with sharp fangs like tigers and leopards, and flying eagles with wings that last dozens of meters long...
This is a vibrant world full of primitive and wildness.
Pang Xuelin flew around Planet No. 5 at an average height of about one thousand meters for a week.
Then he flew straight to the landing point that Murphy sent back.
"Captain Pang, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing Pang Xuelin frowning and standing in front of the front window, Tas walked up to ask curiously.
Pang Xuelin shook his head and said, "It's so perfect."
Tass said: "Isn't it great to be perfect? This is a great and livable planet."
Pang Xuelin shook his head and said, "The essence of the universe tends to be chaotic, but the essence of life is pursuing order and perfection. Tas, do you think that these creatures with initial wisdom can form such a perfect ecosystem?"
Tas said: "Captain Pang, do you mean that there is a smart civilization on this planet?"
Pang Xuelin smiled and shook his head, saying, "I don't know."
