Voyage of the Stars

Chapter 249 Getting Ready

Just as the relevant departments of the new government were planning a particle collider, the human probe also transmitted the data of the only rocky planet in this galaxy to the human database.

This planet has a mass of 0.59 times that of the Earth, a diameter of 0.8 times that of the Earth, an average gravity of 0.69g on the surface of the planet, and a rotation period of 20 hours, 57 minutes, and 33.63 seconds. The surface calm temperature is 36 degrees Celsius, and there is a large amount of liquid water on the surface.

Its orbital semicircle is 11.8 AU, the pericentric point is 11.426 AU, the apocentric point is 12.227 AU, the eccentricity is 0.034, and the satellite Roche limit is 6751 kilometers. However, it has no satellites, but it has tidal forces, which come from the giant gas planet outside.

Humans have discovered that although this planet has no satellites, it has a beautiful ring like Saturn's ring, which presents a charming view under the light of the orange dwarf star.

Its revolution period is 17.997 years, and one year is almost equal to eighteen years on Earth.

The atmosphere is mainly composed of carbon dioxide, oxygen, ethylene, water vapor, and nitrogen, with a small amount of other gases that are harmful to humans. Carbon dioxide accounts for the majority, with a concentration of 86%, oxygen 12%, and the rest are other gases.

The rich carbon dioxide gives the planet an excellent insulation layer, the greenhouse effect reaches 22.4 degrees Celsius, and the atmospheric pressure reaches 7 standard atmospheres.

This planet, like the gaseous planets in the outer orbit, has no satellites.

One probe after another came to the orbit of this rocky planet. Some probes formed a network covering the entire planet, while others directly lowered their orbits and began unmanned landing exploration.

Now humans are a second-level civilization and have mastered neutrino communication. Many devices and detectors are also equipped with neutrino communication systems, but electromagnetic wave communication has not been completely replaced.

Many remote-controlled engineering vehicles, mining equipment, remote robots, etc., still use electromagnetic waves, so it is necessary to establish a satellite communication network for the entire planet.

After all, this planet is the only rocky planet in this star system. The materials needed for human supply, expansion and construction of various types of spacecraft, new warships, and the planned space multi-point particle collider must also be obtained from this planet.

"Marshal Yue, this is another planet with life!"

On this day, Yue Yuan arrived at the bridge of the Tianqin on time as usual. He just floated into the hall and turned on the magnetic boots to fix himself on the floor, and then he heard a familiar voice.

It was Zhu Pitt's voice. Because of the emergence of gene cutting technology, this guy's hair loss has been completely cured. Now he is touching his thick hair and looking at Yue Yuan with a smile.

"Definitely. This planet is located in the habitable zone of an orange dwarf. Although it is a little hotter than us, it has a pleasant climate. There is a large ocean on its surface. From the images taken by the probe in orbit, the surface vegetation is dense, the mountains are majestic, and the sky is full of water vapor, which is a vibrant scene."

The person who spoke was the scientific officer next to Zhu Pit. Seeing Yue Yuan coming, he also turned his eyes away from the big screen and turned to greet him.

"How is the detection of the internal situation of the planet?" Yue Yuan asked after standing firm.

It is a life planet. Yue Yuan actually knew it when he came. What he didn't know was whether there was intelligent life on this planet.

At this moment, after humans sent several scientific research ships, engineering ships and a squadron to the orbit of the gas planet, the large force has already marched towards the rocky planet.

The purpose of several scientific research ships is naturally to explore the reason why the gas planet has no satellites, while the engineering ships are to absorb hydrogen from the gas planet.

In the outer space of this orange dwarf system, human probes have already explored it, and there are no traces of technological creations, so humans are so confident to bring in a large force.

"The probe has landed, and the situation inside the planet will take some time to get results." The scientific officer replied.

Yue Yuan nodded and asked again: "Well, how long will it take for the fleet to reach the designated location?"

This time, the answer was from the first mate who was sitting in his seat and operating something: "About an hour and twenty minutes."

"Okay, where is Man Yuemei?" Yue Yuan took two steps forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Zhu Pit.

"Marshal Yue forgot? Didn't you order Minister Man to lead the squadron to be stationed on the gas planet?" Zhu Pit reminded.

"Uh, I forgot about this." Yue Yuan raised his eyebrows. He had too many meetings these days and forgot about this. Then he said: "Then the fleet will dock according to the original plan and prepare the spacecraft to the rocky planet orbit."

"Yes!" The first mate replied.

The entire fleet has more than a thousand spacecraft and a thousand warships.

The squadron stationed on the gas planet has three hundred warships. The rest came to the rocky planet with the Tianqin.

However, not all of them will be parked in the synchronous orbit of the rocky planet, but most of them will be parked in the far orbit.

Like the habitation spacecraft, biosphere spacecraft, and a large number of Lake-class warships will be parked here, and only various engineering ships and scientific research ships will enter the synchronous orbit.

Of course, some warships will still follow to the synchronous orbit.

However, the main parking place is still the far orbit.

After that, the engineering spacecraft will be mechanically deployed in the synchronous orbit and become a resource transfer station. As usual, various engineering equipment will be transported to the planet through the landing ship to start mining resources.

Of course, before that, probes are needed to transmit the situation inside the planet.

With the experience of landing on Wolf Star, human landing work is in an orderly manner.

After the large fleet arrived at the apogee, batches of engineering ships and scientific research ships headed for the synchronous orbit of the rocky planet.

The space dock that had previously followed the fleet also set off, but the space dock did not go to the synchronous orbit like the engineering ship, but went to the Lagrange point. Oh, here it should be said that the gravitational balance point between the orange dwarf and the rocky planet.

There are many advantages to placing the dock at the gravitational balance point, the most obvious of which is that there is no need to waste computing power and fuel to adjust the orbital attitude.

Fifty space docks will come to this area, carry out mechanical deployment and reassembly, and become real space docks. Then, after receiving supplies, they will start to build new residential spaceships and more Lake-class warships.

Of course, humans now have a thousand Lake-class warships, and there is no shortage of residential spaceships, so this construction is not as urgent as the last time.

However, lack of urgency does not mean that it is not needed. Human beings are now a wandering civilization, and warships are the only weapons to protect humanity. Of course, the more the better.
