Chapter 308 Io
"Okay, that's the end of my words, let's get on board!" Zhu Lei said:
As his words fell, the operators and scientific researchers of each spacecraft began to line up to board their own spacecraft in an orderly manner. It was the same as the last time they explored Mars. All the personnel who went to explore this time wrote their suicide notes. And he had already contacted his family members before the spacecraft set off.

Moreover, the spaceship this time is different from the previous ones, especially the newly built five space science research ships. All the equipment of these five space science research ships uses the latest equipment of the Ming Empire, and even the communication system is also new. It becomes a fine particle communication system.

The particle communication system is a communication system just developed by the Ming Empire in recent years. This communication system is more secure than the previous quantum communication system, and the communication speed is faster, even exceeding the speed of light. The energy is very much.

Of course, since the microparticle communication system consumes a lot of energy, if there is no special event, these spacecraft will not activate this kind of communication system, and the original quantum communication system will still be used, because the microparticle communication system Once it is turned on, the energy consumption of the spacecraft is very severe. The energy consumed by one minute of communication can make the entire spacecraft fly at a strong speed for three months. Especially when the communication equipment is activated, besides the particle communication system, there are also Ordinary quantum communication system.

Seeing these spaceships gradually going away, all the personnel at Zhu Lei Moon Base began to pray in their hearts that the explorers would be safe this time, although these spaceships, especially those sword-shaped spaceships, were safe. They are very high-spirited and very capable of surviving in the universe, but in space, no one knows what will happen in the next second, so Zhu Lei and the others can only pray in their hearts.

The eight spacecraft that explored the entire solar system this time did not explore together in the same direction, but began to separate after flying out of the orbit of the moon, each flying in one direction.

Whose's eight spaceships are all flying towards their scheduled flight route, and Huang Feng is still the captain of a group of people, but this time the spaceship they are driving is no longer the Pioneer, but one of the newly built spaceships.

"The spaceship adjusted its orientation and set off directly from Jupiter." Wang Feng's main goal this time is to explore the Kuiper belt and various data of the nearby starry sky in the Kuiper belt.

But hesitantly, the direction and route of their exploration this time just overlaps with Mars, so they will also explore Mars and the alien planets on Mars this time, and then they will take Kuiper to fly, because after leaving the orbit of Jupiter, their The road will be unimpeded and will not overlap with the orbit of that planet.

Because their spacecraft this time is much faster than the previous Pioneer, even though Jupiter is many times farther than Mars, but this time their spacecraft is much faster than the Pioneer, So they arrived near Jupiter in less than half a month.

Looking at the huge red planet in the distance, Wasp and his crew were moved with emotion. After all, this giant star is the largest planet in the entire solar system except the sun. Its volume is more than 1300 times that of the earth, and even all the planets in the entire solar system The planets add up to less than half its size, so one can imagine how huge Jupiter is.

Moreover, the Wasps and their group of exploration spacecraft also discovered that Jupiter has an extremely strong magnetic field like the Earth. They even discovered auroras at the north and south poles of Jupiter that were just like the Earth.

However, because Jupiter is a gaseous planet with a thick atmosphere, Huang Feng and the others were unable to land on Jupiter for further investigation.

When investigating Jupiter, they found that Jupiter has many satellites as the scientists on the earth said. According to the detection of the instruments on their space research ship, Jupiter has a total of 16 satellites, and the largest four satellites are Io, Europa, Ganymede, Ganymede.

Among them, Io has a diameter of about 3000 kilometers and is about the same size as the moon.

Io is about 42 kilometers away from Jupiter. It is very close to Jupiter, so it is very vulnerable to Jupiter's gravity.

"Launch an unmanned probe and prepare to land on Io to collect specific data, especially Io's soil samples." Wang Feng looked at Io in front of him and said to the crew.

Then a missile-like object flew over the tail of their spaceship.

This is the new unmanned planet probe of the Ming Empire. This probe can not only detect the planet's atmospheric environment in an extremely harsh environment, but can even log on to the planet for soil collection and analysis of elements and other data. The new generation of planetary detectors is countless times more powerful, but if you want to detect this kind of planet like the new project, you still don’t want to look at this kind of detector.

However, if it is used to detect a planet like Io, it is still very easy, although the environment of Io is much worse than that of the earth.

After a while, the probe entered the atmosphere of Io very smoothly.

Moreover, there are mountains, plains, canyons and volcanoes on Io, and the atmosphere on Io is also very thin. According to the detector data, the atmosphere on Io is mainly composed of sulfur dioxide, sodium chloride and a small amount of water. .

Humans can't survive on it at all, and volcanic activity on Io is quite frequent. Not far from the detector, they found an erupting volcano.The eruption height of this volcano is nearly 200 kilometers high, and the eruption speed is as high as more than 1000 meters per second. It can be said that this erupting volcano is stronger than any volcano on earth.

And according to the data of the detectors, there are rivers and lakes on Io, but these rivers and lakes are not filled with water, but full of sulfur.

In the next few days, the Hornets have been stopping near Io, collecting detailed data on Io, and collecting soil samples from various places on Io. After all, if you want to understand Io, the soil samples on Io must not only be Collect one, in addition to collecting data on various volcanoes on Io.

In fact, the temperature on the only surface is also very cold. At the lowest point, the temperature reaches more than -140 degrees, but the highest temperature on the surface of Io is as high as more than 2000 degrees. This is the temperature of the erupting volcano.

This is the source of the heat on Io. After the Hornets collected the data on the outer moon, they began to fly to the second satellite of Jupiter, and sent the collected data to the earth through the normal quantum communication system. go back.

And those collected soil samples were flown to the Lunar Space Exploration Center through a special unmanned aerial vehicle.
