Homo sapiens

Chapter 590 Venusians

Inside the Yungong base, there are already hundreds of synchronous robots working at this time.

They were still very concerned about the arrival of Bai Yulou and others.

Soon the Baiyulou group was placed in a dormitory in a residential area. In fact, the residential area in the Yungong base was just a decoration before, and there were no living people in it.

After arranging accommodation, Wu Tengfei, the rotating base director, quickly took them to the hospital in the residential area for a comprehensive physical examination.

This is also the main purpose of Bai Yulou and others coming to Venus. As for other things, they are secondary.

After a complete set of physical examinations, Bai Yulou and others found that there were no major physical problems.

Wu Tengfei breathed a sigh of relief, and then said through the synchronized robot: "Captain Bai, Vice Captain Simon, you can move freely from now on, but if you want to go out, you need to apply for special permission."

"no problem."

"We can do some scientific research."

After arranging the astronaut's affairs, Wu Tengfei returned to his work station.

Bai Yulou and Simon agreed to divide the 20 astronauts into two groups. One group would be free to move around and work one day, taking turns going back and forth.

On the first day, they had no idea of ​​working, mainly because they had just arrived on Venus and they still needed to further adapt to the environment. There was no need to be too tired now.

During the first half month of the adaptation period, they planned to take a good tour of the Yungong Base.

After all, this is a behemoth with an area of ​​more than 3,000 square kilometers and a thickness of about 750 meters.

A group of astronauts inspected the entire residential area in small groups. This residential area is very large, about 15 square kilometers, with a height of 100 meters, and is wrapped in a buoyancy layer composed of vacuum carbon balls.

When you come out of the hospital, there is a street at the door. There are several electric cars parked on both sides of the street, but these electric cars are all fixed in special parking spaces.

Baiyulou knows this very well. After all, the Yungong base is easily disturbed by strong winds in the early stage, causing continuous vibration and shaking. Therefore, many things in the base must be fixed, otherwise it will be easy to bump around.

However, as the scale of the Yungong Base becomes larger and larger, this strong wind disturbance phenomenon has become smaller and smaller.

Using his employee card, Bai Yulou drove away an electric car.

Although there is no one on both sides of the street, he believes that in the near future, this place will become a new home for new humans.

Venus is the only planet in the solar system that may become a new earth. It is unlikely that other planets in the solar system will be transformed into planets suitable for human habitation in a short period of time.

After all, the gravity difference is too big, which is a fatal problem.

For example, Musk has been clamoring to colonize Mars. His grand plan is just a plan, and there is no possibility of it being realized in a short time.

The difference in gravity between Mars and Earth is enough to cause irreversible genetic mutations and body shape changes in humans who immigrate to Mars, as well as unpredictable new diseases.

The Homo Sapiens Company has placed hundreds of anthropomorphic bodies in the Utopia Station on the Utopia Plain of Mars. Based on the conditions of these anthropomorphic bodies, it has been initially determined that Mars is not suitable as a new home for humans.

Even new humans after comprehensive transformation will not be able to live on Mars for a long time unless they are willing to become "Martians".

At present, the internal gravity of Venus' Cloud Palace base is about 0.8 different from that of the Earth, which is less than one-tenth of the difference, which is barely acceptable.

Even if you live on Venus for a long time, you can adapt in a short time after returning to Earth.

And if you live on Mars for a long time, it will be difficult to adapt to the gravity of the Earth in a short period of time after returning to Earth, and your internal organs may even be squeezed to the point of being unable to breathe and your bones may break.

This is very similar to diving. Ordinary people without professional training can only dive to a depth of less than 10 meters. If you dive to 40 to 50 meters all at once, you may die.

As participants in the Warrior Project, Bai Yulou and others were actually like guinea pigs, but the company did not force them. The astronauts participating in the experiment this time all signed up on their own initiative.

After excluding only children, those who are too young, and those who are too old, the Warrior Project has recruited a total of 2,000 astronauts, and Bai Yulou and others are only the first batch.

If there are no major problems with this batch of astronauts six months later, the next batch of astronauts participating in the experiment will reach 100.

Bai Yulou and Simon drove the car and got familiar with the entire residential area. This might be the place where they would live for a long time in the future, so naturally they had to get familiar with it.

Facilities in residential areas include dormitories, hospitals, nursing homes, kindergartens, schools, restaurants and various service industries.

However, what the two of them are most concerned about are the emergency shelters and escape ships. This is a system that must be inspected and familiarized first when staying in every alien base.

Although the Homo sapiens company has deployed 372 artificial satellites in the low-Earth orbit and synchronous orbit of Venus, which can monitor most dangers from outer space, some dangers are difficult to avoid.

For example, a sudden burst of gamma ray bursts or solar storms. Even if these dangers are detected, they are probably unstoppable and can only be left to fate.

The disadvantage of Venus is that it is too close to the sun and does not have a strong magnetic field to resist the charged particles of the solar storm. Therefore, the surface of the Yun Palace base is easily disturbed by the solar wind.

In order to avoid being disturbed by the solar wind, the Yungong Base adopted a very special plan, which is to always turn its back to the sun.

This takes advantage of the extremely long rotation of Venus. One day on Venus is equivalent to 243 Earth days. In addition, the tilt angle of Venus's earth's axis is very large, and the air at high altitude is relatively thin. As a result, the Yunggong base can float without sunlight for a long time. Arrive at the back area.

In this way, Yungong Base does not need to worry too much about solar storms in the early stage.

Anyway, without the sun shining on it, the Yungong Base can still obtain huge amounts of geothermal energy and solar energy. Coupled with its own nuclear battery, energy is not a problem.

Bai Yulou and Simon parked the car in the parking space. After pressing the parking button, the parking space automatically stretched out the clips and buckled the four wheel hubs.

"This is the shelter, let's go! Go in and take a look."

The two of them swiped their cards and entered the shelter.

This is a cylindrical building, which is actually transformed from a spaceship. In the event of an emergency, it can be untied at any time and the spacecraft will be driven away from the Yun Palace base.

There is one such spaceship at each of the four corners of the residential area.

Bai Yulou and Simon looked at the facilities inside and found that a spaceship could accommodate 500 people for escape.

"Too little." Simon patted the life-saving capsule in front of him.

Bai Yulou shook his head: "Don't worry, the company will make arrangements. After all, there are only twenty of us in the residential area now, and we will definitely add more as the population increases in the future."

Simon is still a little worried: "Food is also a problem. If the escape spacecraft gets lost, we have no way to rescue it in time. The food stored in the spacecraft can only last for three months."

"You can't have your cake and eat it too. There is a contradiction between the number of passengers and the maintenance of food in the escape spacecraft." Bai Yulou can't do anything about this.

The only possible solution is to expand the size of the escape spacecraft so that the food inside the escape spacecraft can be maintained for longer.
