Chapter 391

Even so, there are still many people who believe in the natural existence of silicon-based organisms, because human beings can not be omniscient. Among all kinds of science fiction, silicon-based life is so popular that people are eager to find them.

Maybe in a certain planet, the birth of the so-called miracle?

In the face of this view, some good people even wrote a long article to refute this view.

The connection ability of silicon is very poor, the silicon number of silane is only 8 and unstable, and the composition of the material can not be too complex; the thermal stability of silane and its derivatives is poor and easy to condense, which is undoubtedly contrary to the high temperature environment that silicon-based life needs;

in addition, the silicon hydrogen bond and silicon silicon bond are easy to be completely destroyed by various proton solvents, which means that the common hydrogen bond is easy to condense Water, ammonia, even hydrogen fluoride and other solvents can not be used as the carrier of silicon-based life, and so on

Shu Xiao seriously said: "in fact, I don't believe that there are natural silicon-based organisms. Even if there are, they are probably artificial life. On the contrary, boron based life with boron as the core is more likely! Ah, the difficulty of creating a kind of life is really comparable to that of the creator, and we are far from that! "

The more we know about the universe, the more we can rule out certain options.

Let's not say much about this conjecture. In a word, people have great expectations for the complex life of this planet.

The grand design is going on. Anyway, it will soon reach its destination. In a few years, it will be able to replenish resources. All kinds of high-performance materials will be smashed to death without money. There is a small centrifugal wheel inside Kunlun Mountain, which can rotate at high speed to simulate the high gravity environment. It turns out that no matter how difficult it is, it is easy to break through with massive resources.

When Zhang Yuan saw this list of needed materials, he was stunned. He looked at these aggressive scientists in front of him and couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

"Do you mean that the current budget is enough to build a falcon class destroyer?"

The scientist was not embarrassed. He was afraid that the world would not be in chaos and said, "Sir, exploration in high gravity environment is an area that has not been explored by human beings. So far, there are not many areas that human beings have not explored, and the rest are big fish that no one can catch. This is a rare piece of fish that can chew it down.... "

"Anyway, there is no good research direction Even if it's just a small fish. "

Zhang Yuan nodded slightly. What people are better at now is the industrial system in the low gravity environment. Especially in heavy industry, low gravity environment is much better than high gravity environment.

"You mean not just a few robots, but a whole set of industrial systems operating in high gravity?"

"Yes, it is Although this system can not be compared with the low gravity environment in theory, what special inspiration might it have? It's always good to develop more science. "

Zhang Yuan sighed in his heart that the progress of scientific development is too slow now, and there has been no significant progress in decades or 100 years. So that scientists began to pick up the things that had been abandoned in the past and plan to start over again. The whole process is actually very painful.

It sounds like nothing to look for, but just like the biochip technology abandoned at the beginning, if it is not practiced, who knows it will have such great potential?

There are many things that can't be imagined only by imagination. Only through practice can we know the mystery of them. Maybe the breakthrough point of the whole civilization lies in these abandoned things?

He nodded: "well, for the time being, I'll support However, this resolution still needs to be demonstrated by the scientific conference. Anyway, it is just some resources. There should be no big problem. "

The scientist was relieved. "We also applied for two interstellar ramjets to be installed on our scientific research spacecraft."

Zhang Yuan picked his eyebrows. This guy has got an inch!

He was not angry, but looked at each other meaningfully. If he could give a qualified reason, it would not be impossible: "it's a military engine The rate of good products is very low. Only when five or six products are produced can one be qualified. These qualified products must be used as military reserves. "

"Well With the progress of technology, the cost of ramjet will be gradually reduced. It's better to take this opportunity to test the performance of civil spacecraft. On this planet, although ordinary nuclear fusion engines are enough, what about planets with higher gravity? Since the ramjet will have to be installed in the transport plane sooner or later, it's better late than early. "

"So That sounds reasonable. " Zhang Yuan frowned and pondered. This young scientist is really eloquent.

……

In this way, three years of preparation time soon passed, and the Kunlun Mountain fleet has gradually approached its destination.

According to the conservative policy, in order to strictly ensure the safety of the carrier, people will choose a planet similar to Pluto in the solar system as the landing point.

In this way, if there is a powerful civilization here, the whole fleet can communicate with it leisurely, and even if it doesn't work, it can leave directly without any positive contradiction.And generally speaking, the planet without atmosphere is more suitable for mineral mining.

The observatory is always the most bustling area. When the spacecraft has chosen its landing position, scientists are closely watching the specific movement of the "TEP star".

The first man-made exploration satellite has also been launched ahead of schedule.

Yes, this super earth, which may have life, has been officially named "tap star", instead of just a code name as before.

It is surrounded by three satellites, one of which has a mass of 88% of the moon and is about 360000 km away from Tepper.

The other is smaller, with a mass of 7.5% of the moon.

Finally, the third one is a large meteorite with a diameter of 20 kilometers. It is not really a satellite. It revolves in a large circle around the periphery, and there should be no risk of impact in a moment and a half.

The mass of TEP is much larger than that of the earth. It has many satellites, but it's nothing. For example, Jupiter and Saturn in the solar system have at least 70 or 80 satellites. Mars, a small planet, also has two natural satellites. As long as the mass difference between these satellites and the orbiting planets is large, the so-called "three body motion" will not be formed.

After these days of observation, people did not observe the traces of artificial satellites above the atmosphere of "TEP".

This news also let all scientists breathe a sigh of relief at the same time, feel a bit sorry, can not say exactly what is the psychological.

"The absence of artificial satellites does not necessarily mean that there is no intelligent civilization, because the gravity and pressure of the planet are too high, which makes it extremely difficult to launch satellites. Even we have to rely on the interstellar ramjet technology to be able to barely carry out space and aviation activities. "

"That's true Our exploration satellite should be in orbit soon

"Yes, first hand information will be sent back soon!"

Everyone is very curious about the first information. Although it's time to get off work, we are still waiting quietly in front of the big screen in the astronomical observation room.
