Chapter 1576 Rainbow on Europa
Overlooking the air, the ice cover surrounded by steel structures instantly spread a layer of dense cracks. In a muffled sound accompanied by violent shaking, large pieces of ice were thrown into the air.
Previously, the l-type structure of the drilling, the low-temperature explosives were sent under the ice cover, layer by layer into the ice layer. The entire project lasted three years, and the fifteen-kilometer ice layer was accurately blown out of a neat cube-shaped ice pit.
At the same time, the Sventovite, which was embedded in the ice, surged with the huge water pressure below. Also worth the loss of the titanium alloy armor of this starship is strong enough, otherwise the light is such a blowout, it is enough to squeeze the Sventovett frozen in the ice layer.
"The goal is going up!"
“Continue to blast and stop the ice from consolidating!”
"Yes!"
The sound of deafness came along the ice, and the low-temperature explosives embedded in the nearby ice layer blasted intensively, generating huge heat in the fragmented ice, preventing the upwelling seawater from backfilling the gap.
"The sensor temperature is 11 degrees Celsius!"
"Continue to blast!"
Tan Ming’s eyes stared at the holographic screen, the ice layer marked red.
There is the ice layer where the Sventovite is located, and under the impetus of the current, it is rapidly rising at a slower speed than the sea. Once the ice is frozen, all efforts will be abandoned. In order to keep the water temperature above the freezing point, in addition to the explosives, they are even preparing anticoagulants...
Of course, that is the last resort.
Injecting anticoagulants can have unpredictable effects on the fragile ecosystem beneath the Europa ice sheet. If he can, he hopes to solve this problem with those low-temperature explosives. Otherwise, the cost of saving these people is too heavy...
As the ice layer marked as red continues to rise, the explosives on both sides of the hoistway blast.
Looking at the constantly moving temperature and water flow parameters in the screen, Tan Ming only felt that the palm of his hand had been soaked in sweat.
Several times the ice suddenly caught, and his heart almost jumped into the eyes of the blind.
Fortunately, in the end, there was no danger. The red ice layer finally touched the green line with a depth of two kilometers under the watchful eyes of everyone.
"The target has reached the security level!"
There was a loud cheer in the command room.
Tan Ming only felt a soft leg, fell on the chair and gave a sigh of relief to the ceiling. Looking at the ice layer that floated at a constant speed, the corner of the mouth finally opened a heartfelt smile.
The hard work in these three years has always been in vain.
......
The astronauts sitting in the space car tied the seat belts and unfolded the memory metal shield on the top of the car.
The ice fragments that had previously been washed up by the water began to fall one after another. These low fragments may fly out of a dozen meters, and the high is even thrown into low orbit. Although Europa's gravity is only one-seventh of that of the Earth, the extremely thin atmosphere is that these heavy objects thrown into the air are almost back to the kinetic energy of taking off.
The densely fallen ice violently slammed into the semi-arc memory metal shield, leaving a large crater. The most unlucky car was almost buried under the ice, but fortunately the quality of the memory metal shield passed, and the space car inside did not have anything.
at last!
The blowout has come to an end!
The ice layer of the Sventovite is sealed and the hole that spurts the ice is blocked. A rectangular icicle rises from the center of the steel structure, and with a burst of rumbling sounds of the earth, a giant cuboid tower with a height of several kilometers is formed.
At this time, the Sventovite, like the specimen in amber, is frozen in the center of the "ice tower". The explosives below stopped the blasting, and the rising sea water quickly frozen the cracks. After losing the upward kinetic energy, the rectangular icicles with a vertical area of several thousand squares finally hesitated to stop the upward movement.
The hail rain that fell from the sky also gradually stopped, leaving only the broken snow ice **** in the air.
A bowl-shaped memory metal shield was gathered toward the center, and the car was hidden in the space car. The astronauts stepped down from the car, took out the equipment from the trunk, and walked to the colleagues who were buried under the snow, ready to help them.
At this time, the two astronauts carrying the toolbox stopped and looked in the direction of the icicle.
The finely lit ice particles slowly floated from the surface of the icicle, and looked far like a mist. Jupiter in the distance, shooting soft light, when passing through the ice fog, is a faintly reflected rainbow.
"Is that a rainbow? This is incredible!" One of the astronauts widened his eyes and stared at it incredulously.
I have been working on Europa for almost two years, but this kind of beauty is still the first time I saw it.
"It should be... damn, my camera stayed in the staff quarters."
"What's the relationship, the video on the action recorder is extracted, and you can take a screenshot of it."
"That's not the same!"
......
Just two hours after the Sventovit broke through the ice sheet, Jiang Chen saw Gorovan I again in the holographic conference room of the future man building. Over the past three years, the Earth Defense Alliance has received considerable help from the Sventovit, and now the Defense Alliance has fulfilled its promise to liberate the Sventovit from under the ice sheet.
"About our future residence, I hope to discuss with you." As always, there is no chill, and Goro is straight to the point.
"The Earth Defense Alliance voted in Resolution 51. You can build your home there 100 kilometers away from Tiangong City. There are abundant groundwater, graphite ore and aluminum deposits. Of course, if you have an environment for Mars If you are dissatisfied, we can discuss it again for discussion.” Jiang Chen sent the position in his mouth together with the local topographic map and mineral reserve distribution map to Geluowen.
"No, we are very satisfied." After reading the tens of g of data for about two seconds, Gorovan nodded and continued, "Is there a result about your plan?"
"Which one are you referring to?"
"The Earth Federation."
Hearing this name, Jiang Chen’s expression was a little subtle, and he coughed softly. He said, “By the old friends in the sky, the situation on earth is far more complicated than what you think. I said at the beginning that it will take at least five years."
Because of those in the void, the history of this world has been chaotic since the beginning of World War II. Although standing on Jiang Chen’s position, the history of this world should be the original appearance of the so-called history. But if there is no external factor to interfere, the global pattern should now be Pan Asia, NATO, and the Soviet Union. It will not be the one that does not exist today...
"Correcting, we are not friends with them," looked at Jiang Chen, and Ge Luowen continued. "We just promised the poor people and kept the last fire for the civilization of the earth as a reward for their help to us."
"Speaking, I have always been very strange. Why do you want to use this statement... I mean, don't you also come out of the earth?" Jiang Chen asked, "If you must keep the fire for the earth civilization, you Not yourself?"
Out of Jiang Chen’s expectation, he thought that Goluin would give his answer without hesitation, just like answering other questions. However, this time, he has been thinking for a long time, so that Jiang Chen began to doubt whether quantum communication has failed.
"I can understand your confusion, but I don't have to answer you," Gorovan said slowly. It was so calm that there was no trace of pupils, and people could not see his true thoughts. "Maybe those poor people." In the eyes of us, we have become something else."
"It's really ironic, obviously that even my body has been destroyed..." At this point, Gorovan shook his head and, like before, left without saying a word.
