Super industrial overlord

Chapter 652 Life on Europa

Following Xiang Jialiang's order, the video data sent back by the No. [-] and No. [-] probes appeared on the virtual screens of Xiang Jialiang's Bawang and the bridge of the Law Enforcement Bureau.

From time to time, a little light flickered in a large dark crack. At the same time, in the night vision optical camera of the detector, some strange creatures were slowly drilling out of the holes in the nearby cracked ice. Through the camera, it can be clearly seen that the entire body of these creatures in the deep ice layer of Europa is somewhat similar to the earthworms on the earth, but unlike the earthworms and other creatures on the earth, the whole body of these creatures is transparent. At the same time, it is very similar to the color of the nearby ice. If the human naked eye does not look carefully, then the existence of these creatures cannot be found at all. Of course, the human naked eye cannot find these creatures without looking carefully, but it does not mean that the crystallization of human civilization technology cannot. Discover the existence of these creatures.

For the detector, as long as these creatures appear around the detector, there is nowhere for these creatures to hide. In addition, Xiang Jialiang and others found that although the life on Europa is similar to the earthworms on the earth , but there is still a big gap with earthworms. First of all, there is a gap in volume and length. Generally speaking, earthworms on the earth are not too large, but these creatures are different. The largest diameter of them has exceeded ten centimeters, and its length is more than five meters, but these creatures are not very flexible, not even the earthworms on the earth.

Seeing this, Xiang Jialiang and the others still don’t understand that they have made important discoveries on Europa. On Europa, as many scientists think, there is indeed life on Europa, and according to the current According to the detected data, there are not many lives on Europa. It must be known that the detector has not yet reached the bottom of the crack, nor has it entered the liquid water under the ice layer of Europa. It is still impossible to make a specific judgment on the following situation. , but since there can only be a large amount of life in the ice layer of Europa, there must be a lot of life in the liquid water below Europa, and there will definitely not be only one type of life.

"How many other probes do we have in the sky on Europa, especially space probes inside the planet." Seeing this situation, Xiang Jialiang immediately said to the controller of the probe,

"Report sir, we have nineteen other types of probes left, and among them, there are still three space probes left in the planet, five atmosphere probes, and the largest number of surviving cosmic probes. Eleven," replied the controller.

After hearing what the controller said, Xiang Jialiang immediately ordered him; "Immediately send an interplanetary flying probe to the inside of the crack to capture some of these life forms on Europa. I have a hunch that these life forms are crucial to our human civilization." The effect will be enormous."

"Yes!" After finishing speaking, the controller immediately operated two intraplanetary probes to go to the two cracks. Although the current data shows that the creatures inside the cracks belong to the same kind of life, but this is not the earth. Life, no one can be sure until the life characteristics of these living bodies are obtained.

At the same time, the two ground detectors continued to descend, and the images sent back at the same time showed that the closer to the bottom of this crack on Europa, the more holes there were in the nearby ice layer, and the diameter of these holes was The bigger it is, the diameter of some holes has even exceeded the size of [-] centimeters, and at the same time, the volume of these Europa life forms nearby is getting bigger and bigger.

Although it is said that the two detectors have penetrated under the ice layer of Europa [-] to [-] kilometers from the ground at this time, the signals of these detectors are very stable at this time, without the slightest attenuation, let alone because of the presence of ice. Layer isolation leads to signal instability or interference.

In fact, no matter Xiang Jialiang or other people in the spacecraft, there is actually no worry at this time. The detectors that entered the crack will cause communication problems between the spacecraft and the detector because they continue to go deep into the crack. We must know that although the communication used by human beings now sometimes uses radio, in general, human civilization rarely uses wireless to communicate, especially in interstellar communication. After all, there are too many shortcomings of radio , under such complex conditions as space, radio is very prone to accidents.

So now when human civilization is exploring in the universe, the communication method used has been changed to neutrino communication as the main, quantum communication as the supplement, and photon communication and other communication means to coexist.

Of course, under normal circumstances, the various exploration fleets will not use means other than neutrino communication, but now the communication between the Overlord spacecraft and these detectors belongs to neutrino communication, so even in such a Under such circumstances, Xiang Jialiang and the others are not worried that the communication will be affected at all.

But at this time, whether it was the little guy or the other crew members of the Overlord, they all fixed their eyes on the virtual screen, looking at the underground data of Europa sent back by the probe.

"There are no other types of creatures yet, but according to my judgment, there is definitely more than one kind of creature even in the ice layer of Europa, but we haven't discovered it yet, or there are such creatures that we have discovered now The existence of other creatures in the ice layer of Europa dare not approach, so I judge that the life forms on Europa we have discovered so far should be a top predator creature on Europa, otherwise, here There must be more other creatures, after all, a large-scale water vapor eruption has just erupted here, and there must be other life forms on Europa." When seeing more and more life forms of this kind, as the captain of the spaceship Xiang Jialiang said to himself a little unconsciously.

At this time, the No. [-] detector that entered the crack finally reached the bottom of the crack. Whether it is Xiang Jialiang and others, the glass believes that even the floor of the crack is definitely made of ice. The temperature has not yet reached above zero, but when the detector reached the bottom, it did not stop there steadily as they expected, but sank directly, and when it sank to two meters, the detection The detector directly began to sink, and it was obvious that the surroundings of the detector were no longer ice, that is, solid water, but liquid water.

Fortunately, although this detector is a ground detector, at the beginning of the design, various environments have been considered, so this detector not only has the ability to submerge, but also has a very strong ability to withstand pressure. At least at the current depth, there is no problem for the detector at all.
