Chapter 125 Golden Ocean
After several probes entered the atmosphere, the internal profile of Wolf 1061 c was quickly projected onto the large screen of the Hope bridge.
This is a planet with a large area of ocean.
From the images taken by the probe, people saw a large amount of water vapor rising from the sea surface due to the hot temperature. Looking down, it was all vast and boundless.
The greenhouse effect evaporated a large part of the ocean, but because there was less starlight projected on the surface of the planet and the gravity of the planet was relatively large, these water would accumulate in the atmosphere, and the humidity of the entire planet would reach the standard of forming a global swamp.
Sure enough, at the end of the probe's line of sight, people saw a piece of land that was only slightly higher than the sea level. People looked at the picture sent back by another probe, and saw that the land that was originally far away in the sky immediately became a bird's-eye view.
There were almost no high mountains on the land, and all that came into view were low hills. Around the undulating hills were lakes with pits and depressions. The lakes, hills and flat land were intertwined, forming a piece of peculiar hilly swamp landform.
The steam from the lake surface rises up, like smoke and clouds, lingering above the water and marshland. It looks like it is in the clouds or in a fairyland, dreamy and beautiful.
If I use a sentence to describe it, it would be: steaming Yunmengze.
The only regret is that this scene is not lush and green, and there is not even any green. The whole land and the surrounding water are all yellow-orange.
After increasing the resolution of the detector, people found that these yellow-orange colors are not loess, but plants on this planet.
The appearance is orange-yellow, and the energy provided to the planet is a red dwarf star, which means that these plants do not absorb yellow light.
With the landing of the first probe, clearer images of these yellow plants were presented to humans.
The plants are tall and short, but the tallest is only three meters. According to the classification of plants by humans, they should be considered shrubs. However, their leaves are very large, which is probably because the light from the stars in the sky is relatively weak, and the area needs to be expanded to absorb light.
The evaporation of water vapor brings local temperature differences, and local temperature differences bring air flow. Then, the wind was formed, and the yellow broad leaves turned into butterfly wings in an instant under the wind, swaying there and making a rustling sound.
This was the first time that humans really heard the sound of wind blowing leaves after the disaster.
Soon, other detectors also sent back data one after another. After being processed by computers, these data were displayed one by one in the bridge of the Hope in the form of images.
Orange, orange, orange
The earth, sky, ocean, and water, orange is the main color of each picture, and it is almost the only color. Even the ocean is mapped into a yellowish tone by the yellow light that plants do not absorb.
For a time, the entire bridge of the Hope was also reflected in an orange-yellow color.
"Oh my God, it's a planet with life!" A cry of exclamation sounded in the bridge.
"It's really a planet with life!"
In the pictures sent back, although no animals were found for the time being, the plants that almost covered the entire land of the planet could not deceive people. Plants are also life.
This is really a planet with life.
"We are so lucky! It's a planet with life!"
"Good luck comes after bad luck! Good luck comes after bad luck!"
At this moment, inside the bridge of the Hope, the staff's eyes were fixed on the pictures, their faces filled with surprise.
A planet with life, it's so rare.
Although the whole planet is orange-yellow, and the orange-yellow plant leaves are most reminiscent of the desolation of autumn and winter, no one thinks it is a desolate planet now, it is so full of vitality.
The orange-yellow scene is like a golden ocean, shining in people's minds, and everyone who sees this scene is ecstatic.
Humans know that water is very common in the universe, and they also define water as the source of life based on the earth's environment, but they didn't expect that life would actually appear on a planet in a certain position.
"Is life also common in the universe?"
Unlike the ecstasy of ordinary people, many scientists have already thought about things like life in the universe.
Since the discovery of the broken alien spacecraft on Callisto, human scientists have confirmed the existence of aliens. However, the existence of aliens does not mean that life in the universe is universal, and this discovery is likely to become one of the strong evidences of the theory of universal life in the universe.
If the theory of universal life in the universe is perfected, scientists can infer many things about the social background of the universe through this theory.
Of course, there will be more questions.
For example, if life in the universe is universal, then the birth of intelligent life should also be a very common thing. So where are those aliens? Have they visited the earth in the long years? If they came, why did they come? If they didn't come, where did they go? Why?
And the universe has so many intelligent lives and so many civilizations. What kind of relationship exists between them?
It has to be said that what scientists think in their minds is different from that of ordinary staff.
As for Yue Yuan, after he saw that there was life in Wolf 1061 c, what he thought in his mind was a little different. He was neither as ecstatic as ordinary people, nor did he associate life with universality like scientists.
What he thought about was whether Wolf 1061 c was dangerous, whether there were intelligent life forms, and if so, what level of technology they were at, and whether humans would be in danger there.
However, if you want to confirm these things, you have to wait for a while until the detector sends back more ground information.
However, there is one thing Yue Yuan can be sure of.
So he walked to Yi Kai, who was staring at the orange-yellow ocean, and said cheerfully: "Professor Yi, Doctor Yi, Director Yi. What you keep thinking about will definitely come true. The planetary biosphere that you have been thinking about is really here for you this time."
"Great, great! Great, great!" Yi Kai's eyes seemed to have light, and his eyes seemed to be unable to leave the golden pieces on the big screen. He said excitedly: "Ha, this planet is ours, it belongs to us humans. If there are plants, there must be other types of life. Such a huge planet must have a stable biosphere.
Great, this is the most lacking thing in life medicine research. We need more biological samples and more genetic samples. Everything that can move on this planet belongs to us.
With these, our life medicine research will surely make another breakthrough. Not only that, there is also research on body strengthening! Director, look, this planet is so beautiful, its gravity is greater than that of the earth, and its atmospheric pressure is higher than that of the earth. This means that the structure of the organisms that can survive on it must be stronger than that of humans! Great, great!"
