The Science Fiction World of Xueba

a month later.

Through the porthole, Pang Xuelin overlooked this beautiful planet in three colors of red, blue and white.

According to the data collected by Tass, the red is the ocean of this planet, the blue is the land of this planet, and the white is the white snow covering the planet.

The snow spread from the poles to around thirty degrees north and south latitude.

This is a cold planet.

"It's colder than the data collected before."

Pang Xuelin said.

Tass said: "It should be due to the blocking effect of the Jupiter-like planet next to it. When it moves to the dark side of the Jupiter-like planet, the sunlight from the red giant star is blocked, resulting in a drop in temperature. Calculated according to its orbit, its rotation period When it is 18 earths, the revolution period is four earth months. That is to say, every two earth months, this planet will be blocked by a Jupiter-like planet. We are lucky, this planet has just emerged from the dark side. How long, it is now in the process of heating up."

"This planet has a complete atmosphere. The oxygen content in the atmosphere is 17%, the nitrogen content is 80%, and the carbon dioxide content is 1%. The other components are mainly various inert gases and ozone. Human beings can breathe independently on this planet. In addition, the size of this planet is equivalent to half of the earth, the acceleration of gravity on the surface is 0.8g, and the atmospheric pressure on the surface is equivalent to 1.5atm."

"This is good news."

Pang Xuelin said with a smile.

"Captain Pang, when are you going to land?"

Pang Xuelin pondered for a moment, then said: "Now, let's go and have a look."

It has been two months since Murphy entered the fifth planet, and no news has been sent back. Pang Xuelin decided to finish exploring the sixth planet as soon as possible, and then drive the shuttle to the fifth planet to find Murphy.

Pang Xuelin returned to the cockpit and sat down, lightly started the engine of the shuttle, and with a roar, the shuttle began to turn around and descend towards Planet Six.

The shuttle is equipped with a small anti-gravity device. Therefore, when the shuttle lands, it is completely different from the return capsule of the traditional aerospace plane or spacecraft, which uses a high-temperature and high-pressure shell to resist the friction caused by high-speed flight and air.

It just adjusted its posture lightly, and slowly floated down the atmosphere.

four hours later,

The shuttle finally covered a distance of more than 100 kilometers and landed on the sixth planet.

The location where Pang Xuelin landed is at the junction of a glacier, ocean, and land.

Pang Xuelin put on a spacesuit and got out of the shuttle.

In the headset of the spacesuit, Tas's voice came: "Captain Pang, confirm that the atmosphere of Planet Six can breathe."

Pang Xuelin nodded, supported the helmet with both hands and twisted it slightly, and took off the helmet.

Pang Xuelin took a deep breath. Unlike the air on Earth, the air on Planet 6 smelled of sulfur. This was due to the relatively active volcanic activity on Planet 6 and the high concentration of sulfur dioxide in the air.

And even though he was near the glacier, there was not much chill in the air. Pang Xuelin felt that the current temperature was at least 20 degrees, which made people feel very stuffy.

Not far away, the reddish-brown sea surface was steaming with mist, and he could even hear the sound of melting glaciers in the distance.

As for the surface, it is a blue gravel rich in alkaline copper carbonate washed by water.

This mineral covers the surface of the entire planet.

This is also the reason why the land of Planet Six can appear blue.

Looking up at the sky, there are floating clouds in the distance, half of the sky is covered by the huge Jupiter-like planet, and the red giant star is suspended on the other side of the sky like a king.

Pang Xuelin has traveled through so many sci-fi worlds, even in the wandering earth world, when the earth passed Jupiter, he has never seen such a spectacle.

For the next two hours, Pang Xuelin drove a small all-terrain cruiser around. Except for the gravel hit by the melted water of the glacier, Pang Xuelin did not find many traces of life.

At this time, Tas's voice sounded in the earphone again: "Captain Pang, there are thunderstorm clouds gathering ten kilometers away. It is expected that there will be thunderstorms in this area within 20 minutes. Please return to the shuttle as soon as possible."

"clear!"

Ten minutes later, Pang Xuelin drove the cruiser back to the shuttle, but at this time, the surrounding wind was strong, and the sky was already shrouded in black clouds.

From time to time the roar of lightning could be heard.

As soon as Pang Xuelin entered the shuttle, fist-sized hailstones crashed down.

Fortunately, the outer casing of the shuttle is made of high-strength titanium alloy, and this level of damage will not cause any damage to the shuttle.

The hailstorm lasted for a full twenty minutes, followed by downpours that lasted all day and night.

After the day passed, the sky cleared again, Pang Xuelin got out of the shuttle, and the glacier not far away had disappeared completely.

In the following week, Pang Xuelin conducted a comprehensive inspection of the planet.

In the end, it was determined that this was a planet with an extremely harsh climate that was not suitable for human survival at all.

First of all, the torrential rain that he encountered when he first landed is a common occurrence on this planet. Almost every few days, similar thunderstorms will occur all over the world.

In addition, after the planet entered the sunny side, the temperature rose sharply. In just one week, the global average temperature rose from around 20 degrees to nearly 30 degrees, and the temperature near the equator was even closer to 50 degrees.

Due to the massive melting of glaciers and massive evaporation of water vapor, the entire planet seems to be in a super-large steamer.

And according to Tass' estimates, as time goes by, when the planet is on the sunny side, the global average temperature can reach a maximum of forty degrees.

It can reach more than 70 degrees near the equator.

Accompanied by torrential rains and floods sweeping the world.

This process will last for two full months.

And when this planet moves to the dark side of the Jupiter-like planet, this planet will usher in another two months of dark night and cold winter.

At that time, the glaciers that melted during the sun will reappear all over the world, and then spread to around 30 degrees north and south latitude.

Such a process is reincarnated every four months.

Because of this, Pang Xuelin didn't find many living creatures even though planet 6 had air and water.

Of course, he does not rule out that there are some single-celled organisms such as bacteria and fungi in some craters or deep in the ocean.

But that doesn't mean anything to human civilization.

After a week of exploration, after completing all the exploration logs, the specific situation of this planet was sent to the Eternal Night through the small communication satellite previously placed in the synchronous orbit of the sixth planet.

Then he drove the shuttle away from planet No. 6 and came to the Lagrangian point between planet No. 6 and the Jupiter-like planet.
