Chapter 61 Hot Jupiter's Orbit Change

The X galaxy, the orbit of the fifth planet, and the tiny scientific research ships melt into black spots against the background of the hot Jupiter, inconspicuous.

A few days ago, the slight disturbance brought by this strange guest became the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the small satellites around the gas giant planet were on the final orbit.

The gravitational pull is about to collide with the gas giant, a once-in-a-million-year spectacle.

The news was sent back to Gudu star, and physicists in the scientific community were excited about it. Many people wanted to observe and record this fleeting collision event in person.

But only a few hundred people on the scientific research ship were lucky enough to witness everything, and the glory of the small celestial body came to an end.

research ship...

Through the porthole on the side of the hull, Aisha quietly looked at the ferocious hot Jupiter storm eye, trying to imagine through the cold glass that the violent liquid hydrogen ravaged the atmosphere.

Suddenly another voice came from behind.

"It's hideous, isn't it? An empty universe coupled with a devastating storm." Science officer Pace appeared in the corridor at some point.

"Pace Ship..."

Elsa turned around to say hello, but before she could say her full title, Pace interrupted her.

"Don't call me captain, you are already the leader in your own right, we are equal."

"But I'm not off the ship yet, Captain Pace."

Maybe because of Pace's side, Aisha smiled easily. "It is estimated that the towel number will take another one and a half months to receive me. Before that, let me be the deputy for some time."

The Towel is the second official scientific research ship in the empire, just like the Wanderer in Pace. As the new leader and captain of the scientific research ship, Aisha naturally has the right to name her own scientific research ship.

From ship construction and crew recruitment to rendezvous with Aisha, the Towel will also embark on other galaxy exploration routes.

At that time, Aisha had to bid farewell to the colleagues and environment she had lived in for a year, and start anew.

One and a half months is the final countdown.

Pais looked at the former subordinate who was maturing day by day, his slender eyelashes fluttered slightly, and his sensibility caused a little wave of rationality. "Can……"

Recalling the changes in Aisha during this period, the laughter of the once active girl has decreased visibly to the naked eye, and she can feel that Aisha is trying to make herself more reliable, at least on the outside.

"You have suppressed a lot recently, but there is no need to suppress your talent." Pace said bluntly.

"Talent...I don't have it."

Aisha was silent for a moment and denied it.

His eyes were erratic, and some dared not look directly into Pace's eyes.

"No, you have. It's just that you lack the perspective of a bystander." After receiving a negative answer, Pace's cold eyes did not change at all.

"What do you think a qualified leader looks like?"

"Turan Sword Holder, Governor Kumo, Science Officer Moni, Ono Science Officer, Ghana Science Officer, Captain Pace, you are all perfect." Aisha reported the leaders of the civilization one by one, except for her own name. new leader.

"I don't have the experience of being a leader. Only by humbly learning from successful people can I be worthy of this responsibility."

The disappearance of Kalanka civilization made her understand that life is like a crunchy shark, which can be chewed and crumbled.

They need to be cared for, and only then can a companion walk with her.

Moreover, if Kalanka hadn't been discovered by chance, this promotion would not have existed. The merit itself is partly due to luck. Now that promotion has become an established fact, it is the right way to seize the time to make yourself more mature and reliable.

"Optimism that is not constrained by the environment is your talent. Not everyone can maintain a positive attitude during a long-term voyage in the claustrophobic deep space."

Pace stared at her with scarlet pupils, speaking earnestly.

"Appearance of stability does not bring actual security, but an optimistic heart can ease the team's mental state."

"This heart, only look at yourself, don't deny her."

The chest that rises and falls with breathing is suppressed by the aggressive tone, as if a finger is circling around the heart.

In a trance, the feeling of being dissected and looking at the light welled up in my heart.

Until the sound of the footsteps of the rattling magnet on the floor faded away, Aisha stared at the gaseous planet again and thought in a daze.

The external image characteristics of several leaders flashed in my mind.

Tu Lan's majesty...Mini's genius...Ono's courage...Garner's stability...Pace's rationality.

Each has its own characteristics.

And what about myself... How should I balance abilities and characteristics?

Thoughts are tangled together, inextricably linked.

The void outside the window responded to her question with cold silence.

----

2200 10 Month 20 Day.

The sky of the gaseous planet drew a brilliant tail flame, and the largest satellite body of the Alpha satellite group turned into a meteorite and fell near the south pole of the fifth planet.

At the impact of the black scar, a hole the size of Gondola appeared in the atmosphere of the gaseous planet above.

The Wanderer has been waiting for a long time, and the observation instruments in all directions are aimed at the end orbit of the satellite's fall. The hundreds of millions of years of history of the star will eventually be turned into a short but extremely bright explosion light, and then submerged in the ocean of liquid hydrogen.

Even if it is deep inside the planet, the impact is still going on, but it cannot be observed by the naked eye.

Countless physical data swarmed in from the instrument, as well as disorderly and disturbing radio communications.

"Analyst, report the situation." Pace frowned, the sudden data seriously affected the crew's work.

Hearing that a researcher under the main control room hastily called out the data and shouted loudly.

"It was the Alpha satellite that was ionized by the magnetosphere of the gaseous planet and released a plasma sheet, which interfered with some of our instruments under the 'scattering' of the motion and gravity of the two stars."

"Enable the response plan, save it first, and intelligently compare, filter, and block hosts."

"Yes!" Everyone got the order and started a new round of operations one after another.

Under the host's shield, part of the original riot data quickly returned to normal.

A small episode in the recording process is not so easy to pass, and the interference phenomenon will exist for at least several years. This may be the last stubbornness of the satellite.

The analyzed values ​​constantly flashed on the screen, the deformation dipole magnetic field, the change of the magnetosphere and Gauss value, the ratio of elements in the upper atmosphere, the change of the troposphere and stratosphere after being squeezed by the satellite...

"Aisha, what do you think about the possible orbital change of hot Jupiters?"

In the sound of the spaceship's operation, Pace suddenly turned his head and asked.

"Hot Jupiter changing orbit..." Aisha showed a familiar gentle smile on her face. "I think this question should be answered by Xing, the deputy of Master Pace's deputy, that is, my deputy."

Being promoted to the captain of the new scientific research ship, her two original team members will naturally be promoted to serve as her right-hand man.

Xinglai is her deputy, and Bana is the deputy captain, and their positions are also in line with their personalities.

"Huh?" When his name was called, Xing Lai pointed at himself, puzzled. "Why me."

"Because you are a genius." Aisha praised bluntly.

If you want to tag everyone present.I am carefree, Captain Pace is a wanderer, and Bana is meticulous, so Xinglai is the type of genius with a flash of inspiration.

"In this case, then I will not be polite." Xing Lai raised his head and laughed loudly.

"Idiot." Bana next to her immediately covered her face and kicked her, cursing in a low voice.

Xing Lai patted his leg and gave her a dissatisfied look, restrained his arrogance slightly, and began to explain. "In my opinion, this hot Jupiter is likely to have been a cold Jupiter, which accumulated a large amount of cold gas in the outer periphery of the cold planetary system and then migrated to a tighter inner orbit around the star."

"However, the theory of inner orbital migration of hot Jupiters cannot explain the excessively fast orbital migration speed of this hot Jupiter."

Pace shook his head, apparently this theory did not convince her.

As early as when calculating the planetary orbit model, the system added the variable of the inner orbital migration of superheated Jupiter, which she could not have known.

"Is there any observed data that can support your theory?"

"no!"

"Then how are you sure that this anomaly still belongs to the category of hot Jupiter inner orbit migration?"

"The reason is unknown, and there is no other more reasonable explanation anyway."

Xing Lai was not swayed by the old captain's rhetorical question, she still pinched her waist and confidently explained slowly.

"If you really want to ask the reason, it must be the flash of inspiration when the spark of thought of a genius collided with Jupiter."

"..."

Pace looked at Xinglai speechlessly, and then turned to Aisha who was a little embarrassed.

"Alright then, send this guess back to Guduxing."

Aisha:? ? ?
Is it true that one dared to speak and the other dared to speak out, and the captain asked for evidence just now?Although she agrees with Xinglai's point of view, is it a bit too hasty.

"It's not appropriate... we don't study anymore?"

"Can the existing data analyze the source of the anomaly?" Pace asked casually.

"……cannot."

"Can our equipment go into Jupiter to collect data against the [-]th-level wind?"

"……cannot."

"Do we have more time to wait for hot Jupiters to show themselves?"

"……No."

"Are there any other more appropriate conjectures?"

"No...don't say it, don't say it, I know." Si Lian asked every sentence, and Pace and Xinglai's expressions of looking at fools made her a little unbearable.

Captain Pace is alright, but who gave you the courage to show this expression in Xinglai, are you a fool!

Glancing sideways, aiming at the position, the knife in his hand fell fiercely on the head of his deputy, Xing Lai.

"Ahhh! Why did you hit me again?" Xing Lai was aggrieved and immediately crouched in defense of being attacked by Bana and Captain Aisha.

"Why are you staring blankly, send a message."

"Oh..." Xing Lai shrunk his head, clutching his head, turning his head every step of the way for fear that the captain would provoke the shark again.

A few minutes later, accompanied by a large amount of satellite impact data, a condensed orbit change conjecture was sent back to the data receiving center of Guduxing.
