Chapter 550

It's getting cold

The space star ship itself has a certain constant temperature function. In addition to electric heating, there is also excess heat other than the combustion of strong ion engine fuel, which can also be heated.

"Ma, the temperature here is much lower than that in the cosmic vacuum!" Cao xiongyuan scolded angrily.

"In fact, temperature is the property of material movement. Where there is no material, there is no concept of temperature. As long as there is no light radiation in space, the average temperature is only 3k, that is, the residual temperature after the Big Bang is cooled to the present, which is equivalent to - 27 degrees Celsius, which is still quite warm!" the technician looked at the window in front of him, Sighed, "it's more than minus 220 degrees here. Although it's still some distance from minus 273.15 degrees of absolute zero, the molecular motion of everything has been greatly affected. Listen..."

With what she said, everyone listened. It seemed that it was faint that the shell of the spacecraft would creak at every point of movement, just like everyone sitting in an elevator whose cable was about to break. The danger would open his blood and swallow everyone at any time.

Minus 220 degrees, which is lower than the temperature in the hibernation chamber. As long as people are exposed to the air, they will instantly become a fragile product. Even if you fall in place, they will immediately fall into powder!

"We must find a way to warm up the spaceship! Otherwise, when the critical point is exceeded, the metal of the spaceship will instantly turn into fragile powder, just like a tin button placed outdoors in winter. It will break when pinched! At that time, no one can run..." Hao Zhi whispered to Cao Xiong's long-distance captain.

"Do you think I don't want to? The power equipment is broken and the spacecraft can't start. Our current power is only enough to maintain the operation of the laser drilling machine, so we can't stop it?" the captain retorted discontentedly.

"Maybe we can ignite the liquid methane near here and the sea surface temperature will rise!" Hao Zhi said carefully.

"Are you kidding?" Cao xiongyuan stared. "The methane sea of more than 100 million square kilometers will explode when it is lit?"

"...." Hao Zhi didn't answer and looked at the technicians on board.

The scientist pondered: "The oxygen content on the surface of Uranus is very low. Even if we ignite part of methane, it does not support large-scale combustion and explosion. Of course, the oxygen generator carried by our spacecraft is not enough to support this combustion. The only way is to ionize part of the solid hydrogen crystal, create a hydrogen mass around, and then let methane burn in the hydrogen mass. As a result, only dioxide can be generated Carbon and water are controllable combustion and will not explode! "

"By the way, methane can burn not only in oxygen, but also in hydrogen! But... It won't blow up our ship?" Cao xiongyuan asked.

The technician demonstrated it on the computer again, and then nodded his head. What Mr. Hao Zhi said is feasible. As long as we carefully and continuously gasify the crystal of solid hydrogen with the laser weapon on the naval gun and supplement the hydrogen environment to the combustion, we can control its combustion and heat up the surrounding.

"Well, let's try!" Cao xiongyuan turned to Hao Zhi. "I didn't expect you to know a lot about this!"

Hao Zhi smiled and nodded his earphone: "there is a think tank behind me to help!"

Therefore, the weapon operator on the battleship adjusted the energy amplitude of the weapon level laser to the minimum, and fired at an ice crystal mountain two or three kilometers away in the way of spot shooting. The powerful heat instantly vaporized part of the glittering and transparent hillside, and the violent white steam rose and rolled into the atmosphere.

With the support of gaseous hydrogen, the thick smoothie methane sea below soon erupted in the ignition, and a column of green flames soared to the sky, burning like a huge and strange ghost fire in the white air mass.

The flame burns very gently at low temperature. Even with such a huge flame mass, the flame beats like slowing down. It's like a green woman dancing in a grid by grid video. Each gentle and soothing action raises a wave, flies up and falls slowly.

In the cold cabin, the weapon operator sweated and held the operating handle of the laser gun, firing carefully. If there is no more, he dare not do more. Once he accidentally causes a chain reaction, you know, there is a sea of methane under his feet!

It's like an ant holding a match at the mouth of a gas tank to keep warm

Walking on the tip of a knife is nothing more than that!

On the other hand, the laser drill is still operating at high power, and the drilling depth soon reached 190km.

Except that Uranus's core is a rock structure, the outer mantle is a semi-solid ice water structure. In fact, this kind of drilling is not difficult. Slowly, with the temperature radiation of "baking fire" not far away, the interior of the battleship also began to warm up and restore the daily temperature.

"How beautiful he is!" Captain Cao xiongyuan breathed a sigh of relief. He stepped down from the main control seat and looked at the beautiful scenery of Uranus outside through the porthole. The rectangular porthole was like an enlarged and widened TV screen, but there were only a few color blocks on the screen. Above was the periphery of the atmosphere that was still burning. The faintly transparent clouds sent out warm rose red. Further down, the boundary was clear The lavender atmosphere, the lower part of purple, and a bright and clear blue black sea level divide the porthole into upper and lower parts.

In the absolutely frozen peaceful world, this powerful and magnificent tranquility makes everyone in the cabin feel depressed sanctity, as if breathing loudly is disrespectful to the world. Everyone holds their breath and looks at everything outside the window.

"We are the first human beings to climb the surface of Shanghai King Star. I'm afraid we are also the last human beings to see this beautiful scenery. When the nuclear bomb explodes, it will blow this place into pieces. No one will remember this quiet planet for billions of years, and everything in the past will no longer exist!" Hao Zhi sighed.

"For the sake of civilization!" just as Cao Xiong finished his words, he suddenly pulled Hao Zhi, "look what's on the ground?"

Hearing what he said, Hao Zhi hurried to the window, put his face on the glass and looked down. God, there was a plant on the side of the spacecraft!

It is a plant only judged by its shape. It has stems, buds, branches and leaves, like a misty kapok, but it is not green and very thin. Four broad crystal leaves surround a light pink purple bud, all of which are ice crystal structure, transparent as water, like the carving of diamond crystal, It's like a beautiful work of art that an artist has spent his whole life sculpting!

The observer quickly pointed the lens outside the cabin at it. A large picture appeared on the display screen in front of everyone. It was a plant, a living body crystallized from hydrocarbons. Obviously, it was not an artificial object. Each cilia on the leaf stem reflected an intoxicating halo under the green flame in the distance, and a slight heat wave hit, It shivers in the heat
