Chapter 1506 (1/2)

”We made it!”

”Now, outside of us is Titan, more than 700 million kilometers from Earth Over time, it may become 800 million or more. In short, it doesn't matter. ”

”There's an atmosphere here, but it's not dense, and most of it's nitrogen. The next step is to send all terrain exploration vehicles to investigate the terrain and resource distribution of Titan Hou Tao, how long do you want to linger? ”

He yelled at the walkie talkie, and soon an answer came from the other end.

”Checking the hydraulic stability system It'll be ready in a minute. Give me five minutes. ”

”The lucky fellow In a low voice, the astronaut turned back, continued to look at the camera and said, ”according to the rules, we draw lots to decide who will be the first to board Ganymede. Although it is not comparable to the first landing on the moon and Mars, it is also a great honor. In a moment, I will cut the camera to the rover, and Hou Tao will continue to record... ”

With the last sentence, the astronaut reached out and hit a few buttons on the touchpad to end the recording.

According to the colonial propaganda strategy of star ring trade, all colonial activities will be recorded into videos and sent to the space command center of Huixing Huancheng for backup. After being edited by professionals, they will be published on the official website, and the functions of playing, downloading and commenting are open to all sectors of the society.

In order to ensure the recording effect, each colonial ship will usually be equipped with a retired journalist or someone with experience in photography related industries. Although there are still many differences between the research ship and the colonial ship, the landing here can only be regarded as a colonial outpost at most, but after all, it is the first time to board Ganymede, which is of great significance to commemorate. The survey ship is equipped with a reporter who has worked for Singapore Broadcasting Corporation for three years.

The screen quickly switches to the ATV.

The astronaut, who was about twenty-five or six years old, put on his helmet, excitedly drew a scissors hand at the screen, and then pressed the red button on the control interface.

It was his first colonial mission and had been training at the astronaut training center in ANGA. He has been preparing for this day for more than a year, so he is very excited at the moment.

With a whine of air leakage, the door of the buffer cabin slowly opened, and the exploration vehicle drove toward the unknown land under one foot of his accelerator.

The whole planet is very dark, the light from the sun has been very weak, but Jupiter looks brighter. The area illuminated by the lamp is gray white or gray black soil, and other places are deep dark.

Soon, he arrived at his first observation point, a lake not far from the colonial outpost, where the second probe landed.

This is not a big lake, at least compared to the one at the south pole of Titan. The probe floated in the middle of the lake, making it too difficult to retrieve, so the colonists did not intend to take care of it for the time being.

When the all terrain exploration vehicle was parked near the lake, the astronaut named Hou Tao slowly jumped out of the vehicle and walked carefully to the lake. Different from Mars, the gravity here is very low. When you get out of the car, you must hold the cable, so as not to make the kangaroo jump too hard and float in the sky.

Hydrocarbons are gases on earth, but liquid on the frigid surface of Titan.

The liquid mixture of methane and ethane is less viscous than water, and if you paddle your hand through the lake on Titan, you won't feel the same resistance as water.

All in all, it's a wonderful experience, but it's better not to keep your hands in it for too long. Even if the spacesuit designed by star ring trade uses very advanced thermal insulation materials, the heat scattering caused by low-temperature fluid will cause a lot of load on the constant temperature system of the space suit.

Squatting down by the lake, Hou Tao took out the sampler from the toolbox, quickly collected about 200ml of liquid in the lake, and then put it into the sample storage box of the car. These fluids will be taken back to the colonial unit for analysis to determine the composition and proportion of hydrocarbons in the lake.

Then he collected about twenty soil samples and planted numbered flags on the ground. These soil samples are very helpful for investigating the geological environment and resource distribution of Titan, which is also their task in the next period of time.

After receiving the video data from the rover, the stationmaster of the outpost edited it and sent the data back to earth. After all this, Lu Tao drove the probe back to the buffer cabin of the outpost. As the air pressure in the cabin was emptied and filled with air again, he jumped out of the car and went into the disinfection room.

”Radiation residue is normal.”

”Microbial attachment Why
