MTL - I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World-Chapter 1543 Blowout on Europa

Europa is called Europa in astronomy.

It has nothing to do with the Europa continent, but is named after a beautiful Phoenician princess in ancient Greek mythology. Although the two are spelled the same, the meaning is different.

The facts also prove that floating in the deep and dark universe, this planet that is suspected of nurturing life is indeed as beautiful as an exotic princess.

On the vast glaciers, there are layers of finely divided ice particles. From time to time, the icicles ejected from the cracks spread out the ice like ginkgo trees in the air. The thin atmosphere contains a small amount of oxygen, although this content is not worth mentioning relative to the oxygen content of the Earth's atmosphere.

Standing on a white glacier, the small half of the sky is occupied by huge Jupiter, which has been embedded in the horizon from the air, creating the illusion that if you walk towards Jupiter, you can walk to Jupiter.

Because of the plagiarism lock, the huge planet always hovered there. Most of the light is from the sunlight reflected by Jupiter. As for the sun itself, it is just a soft highlight from here. Therefore, the side facing Jupiter is always bright, the glaciers are white, and the side facing Jupiter is the endless darkness.

The temperature of the equator is below minus 160 degrees Celsius, and the temperature of the two poles is minus 200 degrees Celsius. The ice layer on the surface of Europa is several kilometers thick. Under the ice layer of several kilometers thick, it is more than the earth. Deep ocean.

But in general, the climate here is still much better than that on Gancell.

Located between the two glaciers, it is a black colony.

As for why to choose the black that is incompatible with the background, naturally it is to extract more light and heat from Jupiter from the limited light.

Just then, the door of the colony slowly opened, and a space vehicle drove out of the garage and drove to the well not far away.

“Here is the number z1214, it has arrived at the destination, the rig is working well and the battery is being replaced.”

"Received... please report the status at any time."

"To understanding."

Wearing a heavy spacesuit, an engineer jumped off the space vehicle, opened the trunk of the space vehicle, and took out a laptop-sized battery from the inside, and walked toward the rig.

His name is Tan Ming, from China, and belongs to the first immigrants of the Earth Defense Alliance's Muwei cooperative development plan. Before embarking on this land, he only received one month of adaptive training on the moon. As for what is now on his hand, it is a nuclear battery with a scorpion and a scorpion, which is wrapped in a thick lead compartment.

The gravity environment on Europa is slightly better than that of Gancell, which is about one-seventh of the Earth's gravity, slightly lower than the moon. However, in the training of space walking in the city of Guanghan, this level of gravity can be easily adapted.

Jumping to the bracket, Tan Ming took out the wrench from behind, twisted the bolt fixed on the battery interface, pulled out a data cable and connected it to the wrist computer on the arm, and typed the unlocked password.

As the air leaks, it seems to be light, and the movable door of the fixed battery pops open.

Skillfully remove the battery from the rig, then he tucks the battery in his left hand into the groove, then closes the battery door and tightens the fixed bolt.

“Here is the number z1214, the battery has been replaced, and the drilling power supply is normal.”

"Check the drill bit."

"Checking..." Tan Ming typed a few buttons on the wrist-worn computer and watched the progress bar read. Then he let out a sigh of relief and continued. "The bit is in good condition. Would you like me to open it?"

"Open it."

Skillfully jumping off the rig's bracket, the engineer steadily floated to the ground.

With the rumble of the rumble along the soles of the feet, the drilling platform behind it began to re-run.

Not far from the outpost, all the researchers, no matter which country they came from, are now surrounded by the outpost's command room, quietly looking at the red line that is constantly falling down the screen. From the moment the rig was set up, they were waiting for this moment, and it has been a month since the blink of an eye.

According to the analysis of the Institute of Extraterrestrial Biology at the University of Coro, suitable seafloor temperatures, rich in oxygen resources and submarine volcanic illumination, are likely to exist under the ice sheet of Europa. All drills and detectors are aseptically treated to avoid contamination of Europa's oceans by earth colonies or viruses.

The red dot that marks the drill bit keeps going downwards, and the back shock wave starts to turn weakly and strongly, and the interface between ice and water is getting closer and closer.

If there is no accident, today is the moment to break the ice!

At this moment, on another holographic screen, the shock wave suddenly violently shakes, the alarm light rang, and the entire command room was like boiling water, and all the staff immediately got busy.

“The ice layer is cracked and a large amount of gas is detected!”

"Stop drilling and detonate the perforating device!"

"Roger that!"

After receiving the command of the sergeant, the staff sitting in front of the podium immediately took the red handle and pushed it to the bottom.

On Europa, heat is more important than water. The water here is extremely rich, even more than the water on Earth. The water on the earth is basically on the surface, while the water of Europa is all in the belly.

A long time ago, Nasa made a horizontal comparison in this aspect. Data modeling was used to stack the water resources of the Earth and Europa into a sphere, and the final conclusion was also the same.

Tidal forces cause Europa itself to be in a state of repeated stretching and contraction. The energy produced by this movement heats the sea beneath the ice and works with submarine volcanic activity to provide heat to the life activities of the seabed.

However, it is precisely because of the tidal force caused by the stretching and contraction movements that Europa's ice sheet is prone to crushing similar to the movement of the earth's plates, resulting in cracked glaciers and broken ice valleys. On the Europa, it is often seen that a few hundred kilometers of water column is ejected from the crack, and the spectacular scene of instantaneous solidification into ice crystals at ultra-low temperatures is for this reason.

Almost at the moment when the handle was pushed down, it penetrated the drill bit several kilometers above the ice cover and suddenly flashed for a moment. The electromagnetic hook ejected the anchor hook, slammed into the ice cap that squeezed the drill pipe, and fixed the drill bit in the ice layer.

At the same time, the bottom of the drill bit bursts with violent shaking, and a crack propagates upward from the back of the ice cover. Almost the ice cover of the drill bit, from the back of the large piece of the fracture, until the moment the crack touches the drill bit, the entire ice cover is like a punctured balloon, the sea water mixed with high-pressure bubbles, and suddenly hit the Drill bit

"Damn! The drill pipe is broken!"

"No. z1214, immediately evacuate the area, repeat it, and immediately evacuate!"

Feeling the tremor from the soles of the feet, Tan Ming stepped back in horror. When he heard the sound from his ear, he immediately climbed into the direction of the space car and started the engine. Ramp.

"Grass! What have you done?!"

"We didn't do anything... The situation below may be more complicated than we think... in short, you are leaving here soon..."

There was something in the back of the command, and he had not paid attention to it. After sitting in the driver's seat, he started the space car with the fastest speed, almost stepping on the throttle, and when he madly smashed five or six hundred meters, he only heard a dull bang. The chair came underground and almost picked him up from his seat.

"grass!"

The head rushed forward and Tan Ming looked back subconsciously and saw the tens of meters high drilling platform being bombarded with icicles like a volcanic eruption. The spiraling water column spread out a circle of white ice in the air, like a tornado growing from the ground, flying in the air and dancing.

The foot on the accelerator pedal involuntarily released, and the space vehicle that had already opened the dangerous area slowly stopped. The hailstone of the mung bean gently hit the glass window, and his sight was frozen and solidified there.

Tan Ming can swear.

This is definitely his life, the most spectacular scene he has ever seen...
