Chapter 394 The arrival of mankind
The first thing scientists released were various types of unmanned detectors, which could capture gas above the planet's atmosphere and analyze their specific components.
Things like life can be said to be almost everywhere, and microorganisms may still exist in places with any slight living space.
"It seems that something has been discovered."
After a series of analysis, biologists finally determined that these so-called microorganisms are the life of carbon-based species.
"Oh!" Hearing the results, several fans of silicon-based life could not help but let out a wail.
"...I just said, it's not a silicon-based life... Haha, you owe me a bottle of Moutai!" Wang Junpeng grinned. He and some colleagues had bet on this, but they easily won the final victory.
"It's really boring, it's carbon-based. It's good to have some boron-based life."
Several other young people were complaining in a low voice that the planet did not produce the so-called miracle.
Just kidding, miracles are so easy to happen!
When all the preparations were ready, a small fleet was sent very friendly in local languages to send a series of electromagnetic waves.
The power of electromagnetic waves is not large, just to let some observatory reception stations receive signals.
Humans are not here to cause panic. There is no need to let all Tep people know that an alien civilization has appeared above the atmosphere. Serve others by oneself is the demeanor.
As for the so-called greetings, it is still the same thing as before:
[Unknown civilization, hello, we are human civilizations from afar, coming with peace and goodwill.]
[We abide by the principle of equality and free trading. Everything can be bought and everything can be sold, as long as you can pay the corresponding price...]
[We have brought valuable scientific and technological knowledge and material wealth, which is a good opportunity for both sides to enhance exchanges and promote each other's development.]
[We are collectors of different cultures and artworks in interstellar civilizations. We are eager to collect the history and cultural works of your civilization, and we also hope to obtain artistic works and biological specimens of the planet. If your civilization has such a desire to communicate, you can send electromagnetic waves to communicate with us.]
[The spacecraft will stay above the planet's atmosphere for a period of time, hoping to get your civilized reply...]
...
This is a unique civilization with aircraft as its main means of transportation.
Because the airboats are large in size and generally require relatively wide parking locations, the spacing between houses between cities is also extremely large, and large airboat parking squares of more than ten hectares can be seen everywhere. In order to cope with high gravity environments and typhoons that occur from time to time, the highest house in the city is only about twenty meters, which is a bit like a rural area of human beings.
Aircraft of all sizes are back and forth between the various parking plazas between the cities, in an endless stream and orderly manner.
In the city, ordinary people are not allowed to own their own airships. Not only is it difficult to take the airship driver's license, but there is also a large parking point. It is not cost-effective to pay a considerable rent for this parking point.
However, there are many people in the countryside who have airboats, but the airboats in the countryside cannot drive into the city.
Astronomer O'Brien set out from home and started working for a day. The Teps' life pace is not fast, but it is not slow either. The time of a day on this planet is equivalent to 31 hours on Earth. It's nothing to spend one or two hours on the way to work. And there is also breakfast on the airboat. Although the price is a little expensive, the taste is pretty good...
"Hey, Anchi, is this your new car?" O'Brien greeted curiously when he saw the neighbor trying to drive.
"Yes, the driver's license of the airship is not easy." Anqi scrupulously wiped his car. This airship is the latest means of transportation and is expensive.
In order to fight against the high-gravity environment and dense atmosphere, the body structure of the Tepsians evolved to be a bit like an orangutan, requiring two forelimbs to assist in walking, so the structure of the car is also very different from that of humans. It looks very flat and looks a bit like a racing car, with four large tires, streamlined shapes, and a helium airbag like a kayak around it.
This is a new type of land transportation. This layer of airbag is equivalent to the surroundings of the car. Some balloons are added to provide a certain amount of buoyancy, so as to resist the huge gravity of the planet.
Otherwise, the gravity is too high, and it will be troublesome to blow up the tires at any time.
The reason why this neighbor can afford this kind of car is just because he is a lucky second generation...
"What a good car... I heard that there are already public transportation like this in cities in the south?"
"Yes, but the price of that kind of public transportation is much higher than that of a car, the price of tickets is also very high, and the public complaints are loud..."
“It will always be better.”
The two chatted casually for a few words. O'Brien believed that with the advancement of technology, everyone can use their own car in the not-far future...
Maybe...
He rode his bicycle to the airship platform.
The bicycles I love under my feet also have similar airbags, which are very expensive. By the way, the reason for the high price is that the gas in the airbags cannot be hydrogen but helium.
Using hydrogen can easily cause a big explosion and safety accidents due to a slight spark, while helium will not be the case.
However, the reserves of helium on a planet are limited and are usually mixed with natural gas. Unlike hydrogen, electrolyzed water can be obtained, so the price is quite expensive.
I arrived at the nearby airboat platform and parked my bike. The TV above was broadcasting international news.
"... The Judicial Committee of the House of Representatives of the Greater Mai Kingdom voted to pass a resolution on the 12th local time to establish guidelines for the investigation of impeachment of the president. Multi-party members immediately expressed strong opposition, and internal opinions on impeachment were different..."
“…The pig swine fever epidemic in the Antimisia region is still spreading, which has endangered the normal life of about half a million people.”
"…The firefighting in India and Pakistan caused damage to 300 civilians, and the Austrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly condemned..."
"…Bangguo has another tragic event in acting, and female star Choi Xuexue died at home..."
This planet is too big, with more than a thousand countries of all sizes in total, with various contradictions constantly, and almost no day is peaceful.
O'Brien sighed. Fortunately, their country is one of the most powerful countries on the planet. It is ranked among the top in terms of technological strength and territorial resources, and there is no such big chaebol that interferes in the political circle. The land area is as high as 7 million square kilometers, and no small country dares to provoke without opening its eyes. The internal politics is stable, which is already the biggest advantage.
Sixty years ago, the completion of submarine cables announced the arrival of the global Internet era. This major project lasted for a full hundred years and finally connected the networks of 221 major countries. However, more than 800 countries are still missing. For these remote and backward countries, any news can only be transmitted through telegrams, and it is undoubtedly very difficult to communicate.
Even what happened in these countries was closed, and it took several days to know.
For example, this small country in the small country lives in a corner of the planet, monopolizing several oligopolies, and there are many kinds of bullshits, and the unspoken rules are exposed. Even the people of the big country are brainwashed by domestic media, always thinking that they are invincible in the world.
"What an inexplicable and conceited country." O'Brien cursed in his heart.
