Earth Destruction Plan

?? Captain Cao Xiongyuan frowned and asked the technician: "What do you mean we can't fly away? Hasn't the system been restored?"

The technician looked at the damage report nervously, and then answered carefully: "Our system restores only the anti-gravity device, that is to say, there is no problem with the suspension, but the power system cannot be restored temporarily. Without power, there is no way to escape the planetary gravity well. If we don’t break through the critical value, we can only float to a height of 40,000 kilometers..."

The co-pilot saw that he was very general, and quickly added: "In fact, the anti-gravity device is like an electromagnet. You imagine the entire planet as a big magnet. Our small one, in turn, can only be repelled by the magnetic poles. Floating, but once the distance exceeds a certain standard, the planet’s magnetic force is too weak to support this force, and we will fall down instead. This is the limit height of the anti-gravity device. If you want to fly up, you have to rely on the spacecraft itself. Only with power can fly away from Uranus..."

"Then, we have one way left-we can drill directly here!" Cao Xiongyuan thought for a while and said, "Anyway, too high a height will cause an explosion of suspended gas in the upper layer. If you drill from the stratosphere, there will be no similar Is it the case?"

"That can't work. There are a lot of methane clouds floating in the atmosphere at this height. Once they are exposed to laser heating and explode, they will be more frightening than the explosion in the upper space. You must know that the density of the atmosphere here can be much thicker than the outer space. It's a fluke to not be directly blasted by the atmospheric explosion just now!" The technical analyst said with a curl of his lips.

"That..." Cao Xiongyuan turned twice in the cabin, like a lion trapped in a cage. He looked at his watch, and only forty minutes were left before Uranus flew to the predetermined position. Basic drilling tasks can not be completed.

"We descend! Reach the planet's surface, find a place where there is no methane cloud, and drill directly near the ground!" Cao Xiongyuan waved his hand.

"But Captain, the Uranus stratosphere still receives a little infrared radiation from the sun. Here is a warming layer, which means there is still a little temperature. If we go down, we will be completely far away from the sun radiation when we enter the clouds. That place is almost Absolutely zero degrees, people can't bear it and don't mention it, even if the spacecraft is working in that environment for 20 minutes, it may be frozen..."

"What can we do then?" Cao Xiongyuan answered impatiently, "We can't get up or get down now, are we just floating in the middle?"

"You can ask the base to send a spacecraft to meet us!" the staff officer carefully advised.

"Will it be useful? If you send another ship, the only thing that can be done is to pick us up from this **** place. He can't solve the problem of long-distance drilling in mid-to-high altitude!" Although Cao Xiongyuan seems irritable, he can think about the problem but not. Out of touch, one word broke the secret.

"But once we descend, we may not fly up again! At a low temperature of minus two Baidu, I am afraid that it is impossible to repair the propeller!"

"Don't think about these things anymore!" Cao Xiongyuan thoroughly demonstrated his arbitrary and bold character. "When we came here, we accepted the task of drilling and blasting Uranus. That's all the base said, didn't they? They didn't say that we must Go back alive, as long as the task is completed, the rest, let's talk about it!"

"..." Everyone was speechless, and had to gradually lower the height according to the command of the captain. The energy of the anti-gravity system was fine-tuned, and the entire battleship slid down into the dense clouds, like plunged into a thick bed of cotton wool. In, disappeared.

The dark, dense clouds are like a cotton curtain, blocking the already faint sunlight from 3 billion kilometers away from outer space. Except for a small part of the reflection of atmospheric molecules, all are blocked from the door.

Fortunately, the atmospheric explosion just caused by the upper space provided enough firelight support, and the part of the red atmosphere that was still burning brightened the surroundings, like a dawn on the earth.

The red skylight mixed with the blue of methane acetylene in the atmosphere, turning the surrounding into a strange purple. The purple halo enveloped the vast land, the gentle mountains and hundreds of millions of square kilometers of methane sea, and thousands of miles of blue. The Sexue Plain has accumulated hundreds of meters of "methane snow", endless...

Due to the crystallization effect formed by the ultra-low temperature, there are light blue snowflakes in the air. Each piece is the size of a baby's palm, but it is thin and transparent and has different shapes. Because there is no air flow, all the snowflakes remain slow and vertical. Falling down, while spinning and dancing extremely gracefully, this peerlessly rare landscape is amazing.

The spacecraft continued to descend, and the absolute altitude value displayed on the data monitoring platform has been decreasing. Slowly, they approached the "surface" of Uranus. Said it is the surface, it is not the actual ground, but the sea level.

A solid sea level filled with ice sand, far away from the sun, and the satellites of Uranus are too small, and the gravitational tides that can be formed are very limited. The ocean here is eight times the size of the Earth’s Pacific Ocean without any waves. , All "sea water" is metal hydride liquefied under low temperature and high pressure. It is much denser than water and does not flow easily. If you can pinch it, it is actually more like thick mud on the earth. ,

A deep blue transparent, far-reaching muddy ocean, like an infinitely huge mirror inlaid on the surface of the planet, at this moment, Hao Zhi and the others are floating above this deep blue mirror, feeling in a daze that there is another under the mirror. The world is dreamlike ~www.readwn.com~ like a kingdom in a fairy tale.

"Captain, the temperature of the hull is too low, and the air pressure in the engine room has dropped sharply. If we don’t want to do anything, the liquid filled on the outside of our bridge will freeze. After more than ten minutes, if the hull of the spacecraft ruptures, the low temperature will invade. , Even the air we breathe will be instantly liquefied, let alone the personnel..." The staff officer nervously reported to Captain Cao Xiongyuan.

"Then quickly find the hole we just made halfway through, and finish the task quickly!" Cao Xiongyuan didn't seem to hear what he said, stubbornly commanding his ship, "Let the person in charge of the mechanical cabin quickly repair the power equipment. , Otherwise, we are all done!"

Hao Zhi didn't know what he was thinking. At present, everyone is stuck here and can't get up and down. Even if the task is completed, it will be a dead end. Is he really not thinking about retreating at all besides completing the task?

The spacecraft was slowly sailing towards the predetermined coordinates. Fortunately, the explosion just did not lift everyone far away. Soon, everyone found the hole just drilled on the surface of the planet. The ice layer that was originally melted at the entrance of the hole has begun to close. Like a self-healing wound, it has shrunk from more than four meters in diameter to only half an opening.

Adjust the fuselage and continue drilling! Cao Xiongyuan stared coldly at the ice blossoms that had begun to form on the porthole, and a white breath burst out from his mouth...
