The black tech madman who saves the world

Chapter 302 Europa Ice Road!
After dinner at the Mars Graphene Research and Development Base, Chen Mengchuan received a message from Toni.

Europa's ice shell is about to break through.

After tidying up the dinner plate neatly, Chen Mengchuan quickly rushed to the remote control center of Suixing Edge No. [-].

As soon as he entered the control center, he noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the entire control center.

Everyone looked excited.

"Have you eaten yet?" Chen Mengchuan walked up to Zhang Dongyu and asked him.

"Brother Chuan." Zhang Dongyu was startled and shivered.

"You, what's the matter?" Chen Mengchuan asked.

After Zhang Dongyu took two deep breaths, he said slowly, "Brother Chuan, come and see something."

As he spoke, he waved and summoned a gravitational plate.

Above is a geological wave transmission analysis image of the ice layer.

The first time Chen Mengchuan looked at it, his heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help trembling.

"These freezing points are hollow ice?" Chen Mengchuan asked him immediately.

In the picture, many irregular white lines like ant nests were found along the straight pipeline. If the conclusions drawn from the data were simulated, it would be a series of irregular ice tunnels. The diameter of these ice tunnels is very large. Evenly, the small one is about 15 centimeters, and the big one is about 25 centimeters.

"The conference room inside has fallen out, and many biologists believe that this is some kind of clawed creature that lives in the ice shell ... similar to a pangolin or a large clawed mole."

Chen Mengchuan could almost clearly feel his heart beating faster.

"The area where these white lines are found is already at a depth of 10000 meters below the ice shell. The surrounding temperature is minus 165 degrees Celsius. At a depth of about 9000 meters, a vertical fault of about 120 meters has been hit. The fault's The data is here." Zhang Dongyu pulled the gravity tablet and pointed it to Chen Mengchuan.

"There is no image data yet, and now we can't put down the separate imaging and shooting gravity equipment. The temperature is too low. If there is no continuous warming, it will be frozen quickly, but we have already begun to arrange manpower to prepare."

Chen Mengchuan carefully looked at Boto's analysis of the image, and the image looked like a relatively sparse ant cave. There seemed to be no regularity in the ice tunnels, but there was a certain pattern.

Many ice tunnels have some irregular areas of ice voids, just like nests.

"How long will it take to break through the ice shell? What about Toni and the others?"

"They're all in the conference room inside. You can tell when you walk in that it's going crazy inside. Toni issued a hush-hush order, temporarily prohibiting the transmission of information to the outside world. Chen has already cooperated with the urgent information blocking action." Zhang Dongyu said .

Chen Mengchuan nodded, and after exchanging a few words with him, he asked him to continue watching the drilling progress, walked to the door of the meeting room by himself, pushed the door open and entered.

In the chaotic conference room, a large group of people gathered in groups, discussing something intensely. Chen Mengchuan's entry basically did not attract much attention.

Chen Mengchuan saw Toni not far away, and walked straight over.

After walking around, several people found Chen Mengchuan approaching. Toni smiled and stepped forward to give Chen Mengchuan a firm hug.

"Congratulations. This will be the best news in a while." Toni's face was full of rare excitement and excitement.

"I didn't expect you to be so happy and excited." Chen Mengchuan smiled.

"Isn't this worth the joy and excitement?" Toni asked rhetorically.

Chen Mengchuan shrugged and affirmed: "Of course."

Having said that, in his heart, this matter is not a big deal. Europa found life, he knew something in his heart, so when facing this news now, apart from being shocked at first, Everything calmed down afterwards.

Now Toni's words don't make him pay too much attention.

After all, it is only the discovery of an extraterrestrial life, which is not a big discovery. As long as Tianzhi Technology continues to explore, it will be discovered sooner or later.

He is more interested in what kind of ice-resistant life will excavate this ice tunnel hole.

This kind of creature can dig such a complex ice tunnel in an environment of minus 165 degrees Celsius, at least not on earth.

Taking a step back, it is difficult to find an environment of minus 165 degrees Celsius on the earth.

Could it really be a creature like a pangolin or a mole?
Chen Mengchuan didn't know that if it was such a creature, then at least it must not be at the level of microbes, but at the category of small organisms of mature bodies.

"We actually discovered the possibility of life outside the earth. We really didn't expect it." Toni shook his head slightly, and his whole mood seemed a little abnormal.

The last time Chen Mengchuan saw Toni like this was when he was about to complete the first space travel.

"Toni, this will only be our beginning." Chen Mengchuan comforted him with a smile.

Obviously Chen Mengchuan's words had an effect, and Toni seemed to calm down a lot very quickly.

It was only at this time that Chen Mengchuan noticed that they had more data and information, and the structure map of the ice layer geological wave penetration analysis and imaging was also more three-dimensional, and the picture sense and content were obviously more substantial.

After these white lines are magnified on a larger gravitational screen, the slightly distorted irregular tubular shape appears to have a strange sense of beauty.

"What do you all think of these things?" Chen Mengchuan asked.

There are several others with Toni that he is not familiar with, but there is no doubt that they must be cutting-edge scientists or scholars.

"We're all discussing, and we even got into a fight just now." Toni said with a smile.

Chen Mengchuan was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect to start a fight. These people who are engaged in scientific research did not expect to be so direct.

Toni nodded: "It wasn't very aggressive, but it was indeed a serious dispute. Everyone has different opinions on these ice passages, but most of the people are inclined to these ice passages dug out by creatures, and the reasons are very well analyzed. Reasonable. Many people also think that these are irregular sodium channels, and some very credible claims have been made. Similar ones have been found in Antarctic ice, but there are only a few relatively backward picture data. "

"The comparison can serve as a reference, but it is not easy to draw conclusions."

Chen Mengchuan smiled.The irregular sodium channels appearing in the Antarctic ice layer have never been found below 10000 meters in the ice layer.

Human beings have never been to the 10000-meter depth of the Antarctic ice sheet to see it.

Obviously, there is not much to support this statement.

"It doesn't matter. After all, we haven't achieved our desired goal. These data are still a little less. When we put the ice geological wave transmission analysis and imaging equipment in a space below 10000 meters for testing, We will be able to obtain more intuitive and accurate data."

"You mean to use space shuttle to get the equipment down? This is of course a good idea, but there is only one set of space shuttle on Suixing Edge No. [-], and the temperature below is lower, so it may not be easy to operate." Toni's eyes lit up, Started to think seriously.

"Didn't it mean that the spatial drop of the fault is more than 100 meters? Isn't that enough?" Chen Mengchuan nodded and stopped talking.

After Toni's eyes flickered a few times, a lot of smiles appeared on his face, obviously he had a corresponding solution in his heart.
