Chapter 504: Exploration-Hydrogen

The hot lava rolls in the river, and the exploding bubbles will splash out a lot of sparks and make a gurgling sound.

And just on the bank of the lava river, there was a resting fire dog. Its huge mouth that occasionally yawned and the ferocious dense teeth in its mouth made it look hateful.

But then, the shore dog suddenly stood up from its crouching position and smelled the scent of an outsider.

Just when the tip of its nose was sniffing and its ears were twitching slightly.

The enemy emerged from the nearby hill openly. There were about seven or eight people, and among them there was a handsome figure who obviously spent a lot of time pinching his face.

 “Yes, yes, there is indeed a lone one.”

Qin Xiang also smiled slightly when he saw the flaming dog. He didn't panic at all when he saw the other party sprinting towards him at the speed of a cheetah, causing dust and vibration. Instead, he waved his hand quite coquettishly.

 “Follow my rhythm.”

 As he finished speaking, he picked up a heavy musket and started taking aim.

Even with such a large body, it still doesn't move around at all and just comes here in a daze, which is no difficulty at all.

Boom~

 As he pulled the trigger, as if giving an order, all the people he brought opened fire!

 The muzzles of the guns, which looked like a row of guns, continuously emitted flames, and bullets spurted out.

With the huge initial velocity of the flint and the bullets sprayed from the barrel blessed by magic, large splatters of blood directly hit the surface of the flame dog.

But it was not very lucky. It did not hit the target, but it made it even more crazy.

　　However, none of them were in a hurry and did not change their ammunition. Instead, they all got new guns.

 “The distance is getting closer, we must do it well this time!”

 “Fire!”

ˆBang bang bang~

Another continuous shooting finally made the Flame Dog wail and fall to his knees.

 At the extremely high speed, it rolled directly on the ground and then slid for a distance, plowing out a small red mound.

 After completing the second shooting, Qin Xiang and his team once again put on a new gun for alert, and then began to refill the ammunition of the old gun in batches.

“It’s cool~, that guy from Big Pineapple is still very discerning, but I think we can hire some more people to be responsible for loading bullets?”

Qin Xiang also felt happy after eating a flaming dog without any damage.

However, the basic attributes of this Flame Dog are really high.

 A few tons of weight, the speed of a cheetah.

The outer skin is also tough, and the horns and teeth on its head are quite lethal.

If this musket hadn't been strengthened, ordinary earthen guns would probably be useless at all.

This player doesn’t know how many points he needs to add to be comparable!

And only attributes are not enough. If you want to fight at close range, you will probably need combat skills and corresponding equipment. The actual cost of close combat is far more than the cost of equipment for your group.

"No wonder the special instructions will be to slowly update the use of some weapons for the sake of balance. The gunman should be at the peak of his debut. No, the attributes of the gunman are also very important. Whoever responds quickly and whoever hits accurately can be fatal, but as long as there are people If there are too many, it is very possible to shoot the Grand Master to death or something..."

Since Qin Xiang has decided to invest in this virtual world, of course he has to explore some functions himself.

Besides, he also likes games, and this game is also very interesting. What a win!

This time, he specially arranged for people to film the hunting and asked them to edit and post it online.

　　It can be regarded as reciprocating the favor by helping with advertising, and it can also be regarded as another kind of publicity for oneself...

 …

 At this time, in the Novice Village, the red-skinned NPC instructors also seemed very busy.

˜People are starting to use the 100-credit skills to learn business.

And every time someone uses it, in addition to the user, there must be many prostitutes nearby.

However, white prostitutes cannot enter the teaching circle and affect their teaching, and they will not receive special guidance.

Soon some people discovered that the biggest benefit of paying is the targeted error correction guidance, which is equivalent to being tailor-made for you by an instructor. Naturally, the efficiency is much faster than trying to figure it out on your own...

Touch~

With the instructor's casual blow with his bare hands, a figure was knocked to the ground in a panic, with some red dust on his body.

“You are loose-footed and slow to react, and you don’t have much strength at the beginning. You are more suitable to take the mage route.”

The Gaiya man looked at the trainee in front of him and said in a calm tone.

 Basic skills do not have such hard attribute requirements, but if you cannot keep up with your reactions in all aspects, the learning time will undoubtedly be much longer.

Zhao Qi looked a little embarrassed after getting up from the ground in a panic.

His initial spirit does exceed 12 points, and his initial free attribute points are less, and they have not yet been allocated to strength.

But after he learned about the mage’s Xiaozao news, there were no more registration places.

And one thousand credits is really not cheap. He now relies on watching online videos to study in his spare time. Fortunately, he is a mathematics teacher and has a little knowledge of magic numbers before, so he barely relies on videos to study. Keep up.

Recently, I also learned about meditation.

But the old mage who taught in the class kept emphasizing the threshold of "burning money" in the early stage of the mage.

He felt that he might be better at "double cultivation of magic and martial arts".

  Specialize in a few spells, and don’t fall behind in other abilities.

And as a mathematics teacher, he is even more aware of the profoundness of magic numbers.

Even though he still has such a high interest now, he is not sure that he will be able to keep up when he continues to deepen, and he will eventually give up.

I just didn’t expect that the lack of a few attribute points of strength, which seemed to be only a small gap in the early stage, made me practice in such a mess.

But at this moment, some people training nearby suddenly started whispering. It seemed that some video had appeared, which had some impact on them.

 “No! This is unbalanced!”

“The profession has also said that guns will affect the balance of professions, so some subsequent modern weapons will be opened depending on the situation.”

“But hasn’t the ‘Abyss Mineral Company’ started to launch now? What if they just follow the drawings? Maybe it will be even more powerful with the blessing of magic!”

"Well, I think if it was that simple, the game officials wouldn't just let it go. I didn't see how difficult it is for the mage to learn. If you really have to learn math on the spot, crack it up."

"Although meditation is indeed very good, didn't I say that this is real magic knowledge? If it were so simple to tinker with, in reality, it would not be the Umbrella family alone that can overwhelm the others."

"But no matter what, firearms are too foul in the early stage. Look at the physique of the Flame Dog. If you want to hunt in close combat without damage, eight people will definitely not be able to do it. You need cooperation, equipment, and skill proficiency, and you can't open monsters. If they are good, a few may be taken away..."

Hearing their discussions, Zhao Qi was curious and went to the forum to find out more through the in-game interface. Then he saw Qin Dashao's luxurious volleyball team, which made him widen his eyes.

Then he patted the dust on his body and stood up and said to the Gaiya instructor.

“Instructor Qi is right. I really don’t have the talent in this area. Can I get a refund for the previous fees...”

 What kind of dual cultivation of magic and martial arts? Labor and management directly cultivate the magic gun!

 Chapter 710

  Qin Xiang’s video showing both the ability of money and the power of firearms is also quite popular among the game groups who pay attention to "World of Abyss".

Whether they are closed beta players or cloud players, they have all discovered the power of firearms.

 “Firearms are too powerful!”

“Yes, I don’t know how strong the beast Yan Dog is.”

“Actually, it’s not the firearms that are strong, it’s Qin Xiang who is strong. First of all, there are eight of them, and each of them has three heavy muskets with 1,000 credit points. Wouldn’t a big boss who invested so much in the early stage of the game make people happy?”

 “The money for hiring people hasn’t been calculated yet.”

“Actually, if you have a single musket, you probably won’t be able to fight alone, so you have to form a team.”

"Yes…"

　　　…”

 From the very beginning there was a discussion about the gun super model, and now there are also discussions about some shortcomings.

 This is a strategy with obvious advantages and disadvantages.

  But it is undeniable that it is easy to get started and the advantages brought by grouping.

  It is easy to gain a huge advantage in the early stage!

 At present, although various shortcomings and shortcomings have been found, the biggest point is that it is relatively expensive.

 At least for ordinary players.

 Just speaking based on the current popularity and potential of "Abyss World".

One thousand credits may be a lot of money for ordinary players, but for those who want to invest in this area, it is definitely a drop in the bucket.

At present, a large number of "recruitment posts" have begun to appear on the "Abyss World" game forum, post bar, and TT.

“Star World” Tianlong Ren Studio is about to move to “Abyss World”. We will recruit closed beta players first. After signing the agreement, you will receive a heavy musket, and there are many benefits waiting for you!”

“Dream Studio, a long-established studio established since the Fantasy Westward Journey period, is recruiting closed beta players…”

“Multi-Game Ba server will recruit Abyss World closed beta players.”

“The newly established trade union is funded by Ali…”

 “Kangaroo Funding Studio…”

　　　…”

Originally, "Abyss World" paid most attention to some players and some people who were most concerned about "consciousness uploading".

 But now it seems that suddenly, many capitals have also paid considerable attention to "Abyss World".

 From some old studios and game unions, to later Internet companies, they have also stepped in to fund a large number of studios to recruit people.

 In an instant, the closed beta players immediately became popular.

Originally, there are only 3,000 closed beta players. Although there are more domestically advantaged players, there are only so many in total.

Now it feels like there are not enough people!

 At this time, the advantages of the original ‘Abyss Mineral Company’ were fully reflected.

Having the first-mover advantage, Qin Dashao’s capital, and two top Internet celebrities, Qin Dashao and Daboluo, it is really much faster to get started.

That popular shooting video was all posted by Mr. Qin himself.

This made many people feel a little stunned.

“Remember what Young Master Qin lost when he invested.”

“Since I became an agent for Umbrella’s products, my fortune has changed instantly.”

 “Young Master Qin, it’s Mr. Qin!”

“Ah? What about Mr. Qin now? He hasn’t retired yet.”

 “That’s Mr. Qin.”

　　　…”

 Because of the sudden business opportunities and the fact that capital is eyeing this situation, there were a lot of calls to open up quotas.

But it’s different from before. Now that Umbrella’s power is here, there is no one who doesn’t have a look on their face, and most of them are ‘advice’.

 It’s just obvious that Umbrella always goes her own way and doesn’t pay attention at all.

 On the contrary, it is when all kinds of capital are paying attention, and then players in the game begin to focus on practicing skills and techniques in order to seize the first-mover advantage.

 Umbrella began to announce some space launch plans.

“At present, we have received several applications for the use of Nantianmen. All have been approved, and the time and batch have been issued. Please pay the relevant fees in advance.”

Umbrella agreed to allow other companies to use Nantianmen, of course for a fee, and even if it was transported to Penglai, Umbrella's own cargo ships or transport planes would receive the orders.

And the goods must have been inspected by Umbrella.

But these relatively harsh conditions are nothing compared to being willing to borrow Nantianmen, and everyone agreed readily!

The difficulty of direct launch in space is obviously much lower than that of launch on earth. If you have a foundation, you can just continue to pile up materials. Originally, the launchers were almost perfect, but now it will be faster if you do it this way.

Shang Sanchang plus SX Company, as well as Umbrella itself.

 This is where the five detectors were launched!

 With the announcement of Umbrella, people who were attracted by "Abyss World" began to react.

yes!

 Abyss World is a game based on the information of Abyss Invasion.

 And now it is very likely that visitors from the abyss are coming from space!

It’s just that the news of the visitor’s arrival also experienced too many twists and turns.

Even the Blue Star Overlord has been translocated.

 Seeing this notice now makes people feel a little sad.

“It feels like it was just a while ago that the asteroid was discovered.”

 “Yeah, Umbrella got a good beating in the end.”

“Do you think there will be more seats in the UN General Assembly now?”

“You can add the five permanent members and add positions. It seems that there have been some votes recently.”

“But in fact, both the former beauty and the current Umbrella know that the most important thing is the fist, otherwise the veto will be useless.”

“Gaul and Britain wanted to restore their glory after the war, but then they were jointly educated by the old bear and the beautiful girl, and they lost all their majesty.”

“Gaul and Maozi also used it during the Iraq washing powder incident, but Dameili still insisted on going his own way.”

 “This is the result of imbalance.”

 “Now, it’s actually quite good…”

　　　…”

Wang Yi was originally planning to take people out to relax, so he didn't think much of this report.

But I was still a little surprised by a piece of news from Lin Shiqin.

“Boss, the Earth may not be the only civilization in the solar system~”

 Wang Yi was really surprised when he heard this.

 The scale of the starry sky is very large, so large that it is beyond the understanding of many people.

Just like ordinary satellite orbits and synchronous satellite orbits, who would have thought that there could be a difference of dozens of times?

 The synchronous orbit is only one-tenth of the distance between the earth and the moon!

This is still the simplest earth-moon system...

If Lin Shiqin was saying that there are other creatures in the solar system, Wang Yi would not even raise his eyelids, because the probability can be said to be 100%!

Such a definite answer will definitely shock many people, but in fact, there is solid evidence that life existed on Mars before.

  Traces of life have been found on meteorites that were hit by meteorites on Mars and splashed down to Earth.

 At least before the Martian core was extinguished and the magnetic field disappeared, there was atmosphere and water, and the birth of simple life was almost a matter of course.

Ganymede, which is covered by ice, has also been observed to erupt with super volcanic eruptions. This also means that the core of Ganymede may not have cooled yet, and there may be liquid water under the ice. It is also possible to rely on geothermal heat. There is a high probability that life exists.

It’s not surprising that simple life appears, but Lin Shiqin used ‘civilization’ to describe it, which made Wang Yi feel a little weird.

 He went back through the time river of DNA and knew what a 'coincidence' the birth of human beings was.

It is normal for many civilizations to exist in the universe, but in the solar system, are they too close?

"I was actually quite surprised when I came to this conclusion. This was an anomaly detected while mainly monitoring the asteroid. However, I don't know how to describe this civilization. According to my simulation calculations, it should be possible Call it hydrogen-based organisms..."

Hearing Lin Shiqin's words, Wang Yi was also stunned for a moment, and then the golden light flashed in his eyes. He understood in an instant and said with some surprise.

 “Hydrogen-based? Jupiter or Saturn?”

 “Saturn…”

 Chapter 711 Hydrogen radical

Saturn is a planet in the solar system with obvious planetary rings. Although its mass and volume are much inferior to Jupiter, it is also the second brother in the family of planets in the solar system.

 At the same time, because of the structure of the gaseous planet, Saturn is also the least dense planet in the solar system!

The emergence of life on a gaseous planet would be a bit unacceptable, but Lin Shiqin said that Saturn is suspected of having civilization!

However, after Wang Yi heard what Lin Shiqin said about "hydrogen base", he immediately understood the expression Lin Shiqin wanted to express and the form of existence of that "alien civilization"!

Whether it is an electromagnetic gun, a superconducting computer or a mass projector, they all use a super material that Wang Yi personally developed.

 The real room temperature superconducting silver hydride.

 The reason why he changed from the original alloy model to the form of silver hydride was mainly inspired by the academic research in the academic world on this side of the earth.

 It’s not the Asan who lost the material, but the high-voltage superconducting material formed through a series of experiments such as hydrogen sulfide.

 To put it bluntly, it is to stimulate the metallicity of hydrogen.

So it is possible to make hydrogen appear metallic under high pressure, thereby forming a superconducting effect, but it is very difficult to create such an environment on earth!

However, this is not the case with Jupiter and Saturn.

 These are gaseous planets whose main element is hydrogen.

The huge volume allows the pressure near its core area to be far higher than the pressure produced by the earth's experimental environment.

 From the surface of Saturn inward, gaseous hydrogen and liquid hydrogen will be clearly distinguished. After continuous pressure is added, it is a matter of course that metallic hydrogen with superconducting capabilities is born!

 And there will be a whole layer formed, very many in number.

 The predicted temperature of Saturn's core exceeds 10,000 degrees, and the heat radiated to space is two and a half times the heat absorbed from the sun.

Some discharge phenomena that occur in the core plasma in this environment naturally continue to move in that layer of metallic hydrogen, constantly shuttling in the form of Cooper pairs like a superfluid.

 And these currents that are constantly shuttling do have a probability of forming some complex interactions.

so…

Theoretically, it is indeed possible for electronic life to be born on Saturn...

Well, when it comes to electronic life, many people may think of silicon-based ones, but in fact, this hydrogen-based structure is much more likely to be born.

 Compared to the environment required by carbon-based, it is also a world of difference.

 His arsenic is my elixir.

Thinking of Saturn’s terrible environment, a restricted area for humans, even all human detection equipment currently has no way of entering.

 But in that harsh environment, life and even civilization were born?

On the other hand, the hydrogen-based electronic life in Saturn will definitely disintegrate and die violently when leaving that ultra-high pressure environment. To a certain extent, Saturn has a much greater restraint on them than the earth does on humans.

  “How was it discovered?”

Wang Yi couldn't help but rub his head after understanding what the concept was.

Here we are just preparing to launch a detector to find out the situation of the old man who has traveled a long distance.

As a result, Lin Shiqin discovered that she had a neighbor in the solar system who had lived in peace for billions of years...

"Radio signals. In fact, I have received radio signals from Saturn before. I have also looked through some records from other observatories, but most of them thought they were natural radio signals generated by the solar wind and the discharge phenomenon of Saturn's atmosphere. I used to think so too. of…"

Lin Shiqin also briefly explained the reason for her discovery.

 Originally, some clutter signals are normal.

 Saturn has the oldest recorded thunderstorms in the solar system.

But after all, Lin Shiqin also received quantum blessings. When she first discovered that the uninvited guest appeared near Saturn, she became a little curious, and then used more computing power to perform calculations.

Then I discovered a lot of strange things. First of all, if the radio signal is compiled using base 2.7, some regularity can be derived.

Especially when the asteroid was close to Saturn, the radio signal changed significantly.

The closer it got, the stronger it became. When it started to move away from the Earth, it returned to its original state. Then it seemed that it was discovered that this thing was coming toward its neighbor, and it also sent out several regular radio signals to the Earth.

But whether the earth can be seen or not is none of their business.

"Although these radio signals cannot be deciphered for the time being, they should generally be warnings of threats and expulsions when asteroids are approaching. When Voyager approached Saturn, there were similar comparison records, and what was sent to us may be a reminder that it is not What a good thing."

Lin Shiqin made some general calculations and evolutions, and then paused.

"If there are no accidents, Saturn's electronic civilization should be based on a whole piece of metallic hydrogen near the core of the star. Perhaps it is a truly mutually transparent thinking, and even a whole civilization, but the method is different from ours. .”

 After speaking, she also took out a dozen data and calculated:

“And this civilization seems a bit talkative. It is emitting radio signals into the universe all the time. Maybe it seems boring after being trapped for too long.”

As he finished speaking, he took out another picture, which was a picture of Saturn with a regular hexagonal pattern on it.

"This should be a test for them to try to escape from the shackles of Saturn, but it seems to have failed so far. The overall judgment is that this is a hydrogen-based electronic life civilization trapped and dead on Saturn, even if it is directly regarded as the star spirit of Saturn. Okay, no threat has been found yet, but maybe there is something that can be exploited."

Lin Shiqin listed all the information she got.

Wang Yi also fell into deep thought.

Judging from this kind of feedback, he is actually quite curious. He wants to see their genetic methods and the way they combine with magic. At the same time, he also wants to see whether this kind of life can also give birth to gods!

“The universe is so vast, it’s filled with wonders... I never thought that so many interesting things would appear just in the solar system we live in.”

Wang Yi laughed, and lightning seemed to flash in the sky.

“When detecting asteroids, build more detectors, which means detecting asteroid resources near Saturn.”

The space elevator has come out. Is it normal to start thinking about asteroid resources?

 Although mining is not so fast yet, we can explore it first!

“The construction of the mage tower on the space elevator should also be accelerated. If I have the chance, I would like to go there and meet them in person.”

Wang Yi walked to the balcony and looked up at the starry sky.

It seems that I saw the planet with the planetary belt in the distance.

 The distance is too far, and I don’t even know the concentration of magic power on Saturn.

However, to be able to give birth to such an interesting life, it is likely that it has a good concentration of magic power!

 Because under the pressure and gravity inside Saturn, only the use of magic, something that goes beyond conventional physical rules, can increase the impact on the outside.

Is the threat of electromagnetic signals from approaching asteroids just a matter of words?

Wang Yi doesn’t think so.

 Otherwise, why does Saturn have its own rings?

The asteroid belt with the densest concentration of asteroids in the solar system is also between Jupiter and Saturn...

　　——

Update completed~

  The principle of superconductivity has been discussed before, so I won’t go into it again.

There is a basic theory for the existence of metallic hydrogen itself, but it is difficult for humans to come up with it. The closest one at the moment is probably the superconducting team that was engaged in hydrogen sulfide pressurization. That Asan conducted secondary research based on the theory of that team. It was processed and faked, so it was obvious that he had a criminal record. After he brought it up again, many bigwigs still went to listen to his speech, because it is theoretically feasible.

However, environments that we have worked so hard to create on Earth can form naturally inside Jupiter and Saturn.

The universe is all-encompassing and has countless possibilities. Maybe some environments that we think are very harsh may be the basis for the birth of another kind of life...

 There are only so many updates, it’s really hard to keep up with it, hehe...
