Europa is called Europa in astronomy.
It has nothing to do with the Europa continent, but is named as a beautiful Phoenician princess in ancient Greek mythology. Although the two are spelled the same, their meanings are very different.
Facts have also proved that floating in the deep and dark universe, this planet that is suspected to be nurturing life is indeed as beautiful as a foreign princess.
On the vast glacier, layers of fine ice chips are flying, and icicles that spew out from the cracks from time to time spread out in the air like ginkgo trees.
The thin atmosphere contains traces of oxygen, although this content is not worth mentioning at all compared to the oxygen content of the earth's atmosphere.
Standing on the white glacier, half of the sky is occupied by huge Jupiters, and it has been embedded in the horizon from the sky, giving people the illusion that if you keep walking towards Jupiter, you can walk on Jupiter.
Due to the plagiarism lockdown, the huge planet will always hover.
Most of the light comes from the sun reflected by Jupiter, and as for the sun itself, it looks like a soft highlight from here.
Therefore, the side facing Jupiter is always bright, the glacier is illuminated with snow-white light, and the side facing away from Jupiter is endless darkness.
The temperature at the equator is below minus 160 degrees Celsius, and the temperature at the poles is below minus 200 degrees Celsius. The ice layer on the surface of Europa is several kilometers thick, and under the ice layer several kilometers thick is a ocean deeper than the earth.
But in general, the climate here is much better than that on Iova.
Located between the two glaciers is a black colony.
As for why you choose black that is incompatible with the background, it is naturally to absorb more light and heat from Jupiter from that limited light illumination.
At this moment, the colony's hatch opened slowly, and a space vehicle drove out of the garage and headed towards the drilling well not far away.
Here is the number Z1214, which has arrived at the destination, the drilling platform is in good condition, and the battery is being replaced.
Received... Please report the situation at any time.
learn.
Wearing a heavy space suit, an engineer jumped out of the space car, opened the trunk of the space car, took out a battery about the size of a laptop computer, and walked towards the drilling platform.
His name is Tan Ming, who comes from China and belongs to the first batch of immigrants in the Earth Defense League Cooperative Development Program.
Before setting foot on the land, he received only one month of adaptive training on the moon.
As for what he is carrying now, it is a nuclear battery containing helium three and tritium, and the outside is wrapped by a thick layer of lead.
The gravity environment on Europa is slightly better than that on Iopa, about one-seventh of the earth's gravity, slightly lower than the moon.
Anyone who has received spacewalk training in Guanghan City can easily adapt to this level of gravity.
Jumping onto the bracket, Tan Ming took out the wrench from behind, twisted the bolt fixed to the battery interface, pulled out a data cable to connect it to the wrist-mounted computer on his arm, and typed the unlock password.
With a light sound of air leakage, the movable door of the fixed battery bounced open.
Proficiently removing the battery from the drilling platform, he stuffed the battery that was lifted in his left hand into the groove, then closed the battery door again and tightened the fixed bolts.
Here is the number Z1214. The battery has been replaced and the drilling power supply is normal.
Check the drill bit.
In the process of checking... Tan Ming typed a few buttons on the wrist-loaded computer, watched the progress bar read it full, then breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "The drill bit is in good condition, do you want me to turn it on?"
Open it.
Jumping skillfully from the rig stand, the engineer floated steadily to the ground.
With the muffled rumbling sound coming along the soles of feet, the drilling platform behind him began to re-operate.
In the outpost not far away, all the researchers, no matter which country they came from, are now surrounded by the command room of the outpost, quietly looking at the red line that is constantly moving downward in the screen.
From the moment the drilling platform stood up, they were waiting for this moment, and a month had passed in a blink of an eye.
According to the analysis of the Institute of Alien Biology at the University of Coro, with suitable seabed temperatures, abundant oxygen resources and submarine volcanic light, life activities are likely to exist under the ice cap of Europa.
All drill bits and detectors are treated sterilely to avoid contamination of Earth colonies or viruses on Europa's oceans.
The red dot that marked the drill bit kept going downward, and the shock wave returning to the backward began to turn from weak to strong, and was getting closer and closer to the interface between ice and water.
If nothing unexpected happens, today is the moment of breaking the ice!
At this moment, on another holographic screen, the shock wave suddenly trembled violently, the alarm signal light sounded, and the entire command room was like boiling boiling water, and all the staff immediately became busy.
The ice cracked and a large amount of gas surge was detected!
Stop drilling and detonate the perforation device!
receive!
After receiving the command from the commander, the staff sitting in front of the podium immediately held the red handle and pushed it to the bottom with force.
In Europa, heat is more important than water.
The water resources here are extremely rich, even more than the water on the earth.
The water on the earth is basically on the surface, but the water from Europa is all contained in the stomach.
NASA did a long time ago this aspect of comparison, stacking the earth's water resources and Europa's water resources into a sphere through data modeling, and the final conclusion is also the same.
Tidal forces cause Europa to be in a state of repeated stretching and contraction. The energy generated by this movement heats the seawater below the ice and together with the activities of undersea volcanicity, it provides heat for the activities of undersea biological life.
However, it is precisely because of the stretching and contraction movement caused by this tidal force that Europa's ice cap is very prone to squeeze similar to the movement of the earth's plates, resulting in cracked glaciers and broken ice valleys.
It is often seen that water columns hundreds of kilometers high in Europa can be seen ejecting from the cracks, and the spectacular scene of instantly solidifying into ice crystals at ultra-low temperatures is due to this reason.
Almost the moment the hand was pushed down, a flash of fire suddenly flashed above the drill bit that had been several kilometers deep in the ice cap.
The electromagnetic catapult exploded anchor hook pierced into the ice cap that squeezed the drill rod, fixing the drill bit tightly into the ice layer.
At the same time, violent shaking broke out below the drill bit, and cracks began to spread upward from the back of the ice cap.
The ice cap, which was almost broken by the drill bit, began to break from the back until the moment the cracks touched the drill bit, the entire ice cap was like a pierced balloon, and the sea water was mixed with high-pressure bubbles, and instantly hit the drill bit.
Damn it!The drill pipe breaks!
Number Z1214, evacuate the area immediately, repeat and evacuate immediately!
Feeling the tremor from the soles of his feet, Tan Ming took a few steps back with horror. When he heard the sound coming from his ears, he immediately crawled in to the space car without saying a word, yelling while starting the engine.
Grass!What did you do just now?!
We did nothing... The situation below may be much more complicated than we thought... In short, you can get out of here quickly...
There was something said in the command center behind him, but he didn't pay attention to it and listened.
After getting into the driver's seat, he started the space vehicle at the fastest speed, almost stepping the accelerator to the limit. Just as he was desperately rushing out of five or six hundred meters, he heard a dull loud noise coming from the underground of the chair, almost lifting him out of his seat.
Grass!
His head suddenly rushed forward, and Tan Ming subconsciously looked back and saw the drilling platform dozens of meters high being bombarded into the sky by icicles like a volcano erupting.
The circling water column scattered in the air with circles of white ice chips, like a tornado growing from the ground, flying in the air with a beautiful posture.
The foot that was stepping on the accelerator involuntarily released, and the space vehicle that had already driven out of the dangerous area slowly stopped.
Hail as big as mung beans gently hit the glass window, and his gaze was frozen there.
Tan Ming can swear.
This is definitely the most spectacular scene he has ever seen in his life...
