Chapter 508

The main thruster is closed and entering orbit...

the auxiliary thruster is turned on, the landing thruster is on, and the landing frame is opened...

the coordinates of the landing area are being calibrated, and the deviation from the expected lander is 1.3m...

the scanning of the landing area is started, no threat is found

the atmospheric generating tower is operating normally, and the landing countdown is

5! 4！ 3！ 2！ 1！

All thrusters off! Turn on the landing Bay searchlight!

Bang....

the dull crash sound is introduced into the cab through the shell of the spacecraft.

"This is colonial ship mw2-01. We have successfully landed at the landing site. We have successfully landed at the landing site. Over!" Several crew members carefully unbuttoned their seat belts.

Far less than the earth's gravity, the crew jumped from the floor into the air with a slight force.

From the cockpit porthole, you can see the endless white icebergs on the surface of Europa. These icebergs reflect dazzling light in the sunlight.

Not far from the landing site of the spaceship, there is a silver tower hundreds of meters high. The top of the tower is still spraying white gas.

Europa, Jupiter's fourth largest moon, commonly known as Europa, has a volume and mass slightly smaller than the moon, and its cold surface is covered with ice layers up to 10 to 30 kilometers thick.

At the bottom of this ice layer, there are abundant water resources. Relying on the heat generated by the gravity of underground volcanoes and planets such as Jupiter, there is a huge ocean hundreds of kilometers deep.

Such a huge water source has become the first choice for human beings to immigrate to other planets, especially in the Republic's new colonial plan.

Unlike Ganymede, which has been sold to Titan and developed by Gawain nematodes, it is arguably the most remote colony of mankind.

As early as a year ago, the Republic commissioned Titan airlines to launch a large number of atmospheric generating towers on Europa. These atmospheric generating towers generate continuous energy by separating hydrogen from the ice, and begin to create an environment suitable for human existence before human beings set foot on the planet.

Although hundreds of atmospheric towers have been launched, it is still too far away to completely transform the planet.

But in the vicinity of the atmospheric tower, humans can barely survive by adapting to evolutionary genes.

The colony's landing site was therefore chosen on the plain next to an atmospheric tower that was first launched.

"This atmospheric tower has been in operation for more than a year. The environment here is barely enough for the survival of human beings after evolution, and the work of the colony can be started!" After leaving the ship, a crew member took off his mask. Through the evolution of hypoxia environment, the crew's skin has been able to absorb oxygen.

Combined with the giant lungs that evolved into left and right sides, the crew has been able to access the scarce oxygen in the air near the atmospheric tower.

"The external air environment has been determined! Get ready to start the settlement! "

"Keep all personnel away from the calibrated prohibited area!"

When the sound of gear running came, the watermelon worm shaped landing bin began to split several gaps in the middle, and the shell of the landing bin began to fall toward the ground around.

In the middle of the landing bin, a tower like a hanging tower began to rise slowly.

In front of the tower, a number of building modules began to move to the surrounding metal ground, leaving a small round square in front of the tower.

"The settlement is normally unfolded, the multi-functional tower has been raised, and the landing platform is empty!"

"The colonial ships in orbit can begin to land!"

received the signal of the colonial ship began to adjust its posture in orbit, propping the tail of the spacecraft to Europa's surface.

Propelled by the bow thruster, the colonial ship rushed to Europa's settlement on the ground.

When the spacecraft reached a height of 500 meters, the thruster in the tail was turned on again, and the surging flames held the 500 meter long colonial spaceship firmly in mid air.

"All staff off the landing platform!"

"Start laser positioning!"

"The colonial ship begins to land! 3！ 2！ 1！” With the staff in the control tower shouting excitedly, the colonial ship stopped steadily on the landing platform in the center of the colony, and the flames emitted by the thrusters were discharged into the sky by the vents around the landing platform.

After the colonial ship stopped steadily, ten pairs of mechanical tongs were ejected from the left and right sides of the multi-functional tower, which firmly fixed the colonial ship in front of the launch tower.

At the same time, the bow of the colonial ship opened to both sides, revealing the huge cargo storage inside the colonial ship.

The tower at the top of the multi-function tower began to lift a large number of containers from the colonial ship's cargo hold.

"Good! Good! All right! Just put it here! " On the ice around the colony, a large number of staff waving fluorescent rods to command the hanging tower, and the container houses used for living were neatly placed around the colony.After the container houses landed, four metal rods were ejected from the container and inserted into the ice.

Then, like some saloon cars, the two sides of the container stretched out half of the small box, and the top of the box also expanded one side of the solar panel.

Although each of these container houses has an area of less than 20 square meters, it has become a double-layer residence with 80 square meters on the upper and lower floors after the expansion. The house has kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and study!

After the deployment of the container housing, all the dormant warehouses inside the container were closed, and the colonists in the dormant warehouses came to their senses by electric shock.

In just five days, the whole colonial ship was demolished, leaving only one fifth of the territory, and the colony was expanded to a diameter of 500 meters.

The uniform container houses form a series of residential areas, surrounded by newly planted energy blankets and skid resistant pavement.

With the green energy blanket set off, the colony has a little bit of life.

At this time, one fifth of the colonial ships that had been demolished rose into the air again.

The colonial ship with modular design can have a single sub ship which can be reused after the establishment of the colony.

The sub ship will return to the Martian colony for replenishment, and then return to blue star to bring in a new group of colonists and equipment to Europa.

This time alone, Europa has five colonies of 500 people on Europa's equator.

Over the next decade, the Republic will continue to launch up to 100 colonial ships, sending 50000 colonists to this remote, unglamorous satellite for development.

At the same time, exploration of the ocean beneath Europa's ice sheet has also begun.
