Venus is one of the eight planets in the solar system.

In order of distance from the sun, it is the second one, 0.725 astronomical units away from the sun.

In ancient China, it was called Chang Geng, Qiming, Taibai or Taibai Venus, and in Western mythology it was called Adite.

Venus is an Earth-like planet. Because its mass is similar to that of the Earth, it is sometimes called the "sister star" of the Earth. It is the only planet in the solar system without a magnetic field.

The most peculiar thing is that the rotation period of Venus is 243 terrestrial days and the revolution period is 224.71 terrestrial days. One year is equal to one day.

If you look at the solar system from above the Sun's North Pole, almost all the planets rotate in a counterclockwise direction.

However, Venus rotates clockwise, and its clockwise rotation is retrograde.

How to explain the slowness and retrograde motion of Venus' rotation while the planet's rotation has been measured has been a puzzle for scientists.

Earth scientists speculate that when Venus was formed from the solar nebula, Venus must have been faster than before and was rotating in the same direction as other planets.

Calculations show that over billions of years, tidal effects on its thick atmosphere would have slowed its original rotation to its current reversal.

An astronomer who was riding the war saucer together had completed a series of data on Venus' retrograde rotation, atmospheric composition, air flow rate, solar wind transmission, and magnetic field gravity when the war saucer merged with the orbit of Venus and passed through the atmosphere. It is different from the analysis results of Earth-satellite detection instruments.

Dark energy expert Duanmu Yunke and deputy Sikong Taimin incorporated the data analysis of astronomers into their own cosmic energy database and became a reference for the energy operation laws of the solar system.

They need to have a comprehensive understanding of the major planets in the solar system, find out the secrets of life in this newborn galaxy, detect the inner connection of the formation of dark energy, and try to discover traces of the mother stone of the universe.

This is a complex and arduous task, and it is also a process of creating a myth.

On the ground of Venus, the strong greenhouse effect is like a melting pot, seeming to dissolve all living objects into molecular matter.

Even though they were wearing cold special space suits, the guards still felt like they were being roasted on a stove, and their whole bodies were hot and sweating.

The sky was orange-yellow, dark and deep, and the weak light reflected by the clouds was not enough to see the surrounding scenes clearly. He needed the lighting assistance of the war saucer to see things.

Under the bright light, looking at the peaks standing in the distance, it looks like a demon standing on the ground, seeming to stretch out its hands to break up the thick clouds that imprison the planet.

Outside the battle saucer hatch, under the watchful eye of the escort soldiers, two dark energy experts carefully moved out and assembled the instruments, and began to extract soil components, measure the temperature and composition of the ground atmosphere, and collect rock samples.

The temperature here has reached the limit of equipment use, and some precision instruments have been equipped with low-temperature devices, barely adapting to the working environment.

After the two dark energy experts completed these light tasks, several guards had already opened several large alloy boxes and worked for a long time before assembling a high-energy drilling equipment.

Although everyone is already a second evolution and has strong physical fitness, they still feel that it is quite difficult.

An engineer debugged the equipment and handed it over to the intelligent robot to drive the equipment. After fixing the ground at the foot of the mountain selected by the dark energy expert, the drilling operation began.

Because Venus is in a high temperature state all year round and the exposed ground is as hard as iron, mechanical work is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also easily damaged.

Therefore, this equipment for performing the mission is the original cargo shipped with the starship carrier and can be suitable for the drilling conditions of most stars in space.

The intelligent robot controls the 5-meter-tall drilling equipment and extends a long cylindrical tube with an inner core diagonally towards the foot of the volcano.

After accumulating energy for 1 minute, a tongue of ultra-high temperature flame was ejected, and a hole as big as a bowl appeared on the hard ground.

Immediately afterwards, an empty tube extended from the inner layer of the long cylindrical tube and penetrated directly into the ground to follow the magma as it descended.

Behind the butt of the equipment, dozens of tiny streams of magma spurted out, landed dozens of meters away, and continued to flow downhill.

At the rear end of the long cylindrical tube, hollow cylinders are continuously discharged from the belly of the equipment, locking themselves with each other with a clicking sound, and are continuously sent underground.

After 1 minute, the operation is suspended and the energy is recharged to prepare.

Everyone looked here from a distance, and the helmet glass reflected the bright lava fire.

A small prompt screen showed that the ambient temperature was rising, and had risen by dozens of degrees, reaching 280°C.

Unable to stay where they were, everyone kept retreating.

The engineering staff raised their hands and looked at the terminal display. They found that the casing had penetrated 10 meters underground.

He calculated and added the energy storage time, and the ground penetration speed per minute was roughly 5 meters. It would take 100 minutes to complete the scheduled 500-meter mission. This progress was very fast.

Here, the long dark night has no end, and time loses its original meaning.

The two dark energy experts did not need to participate in these preliminary work. After finishing the work at hand, they packed up the equipment and let the escorts carry it into the battle saucer.

Back in the rest cabin, the two of them drank black tea and chatted about their thoughts.

Sikong Taimin said jokingly: "Teacher Duanmu, I looked up the history of astronomical exploration of Earth Star. They once included Pluto among the nine planets, but after a relatively short period of time, they were able to realize the problem. , and quickly corrected it. This courage to correct mistakes is worthy of appreciation."

It turns out that terrestrial astronomers misestimated the mass of Pluto and found that Pluto has a mass lower than that of the moon and belongs to the Kuiper Belt in the outer reaches of the solar system. This area has always been the birthplace of asteroids and comets in the solar system.

The International Astronomical Congress later gave a clear definition of a planet:

First, it must be a celestial body orbiting a star.

Second, it is massive enough to rely on its own gravity to make celestial bodies appear spherical.

Third, there should be no other objects near its orbit, or it should be able to "clean up" celestial bodies in its orbit on its own within 3 billion years.

Therefore, Pluto, Ceres, Eris, Haumea and Makemake are all dwarf planets, so it is not difficult to understand the change from "nine planets" to "eight planets".

Duanmu Yunke lamented: "Their average speed of scientific development is generally higher than that of the Umber planet. Unfortunately, the god of fate failed to favor them. They rose up a little late, and unfortunately they became a resource for advanced civilization."

Sikong Taimin asked for advice: "The solar system has eight major planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Adding the main star of the sun, it just makes up the highest odd number of 9. Combined with the planetary distribution of other living planets The situation is that the number is minimal, is there a possibility of an increase?"

"Compared with the age of the universe of existing living galaxies, the formation of the solar system is relatively young. If the 'hatching egg' theory is true, it should still have the birth of new planets."

"Oh, studying ancient meteorites, tracing back the elements shows that only the heart part after the supernova explosion can produce these elements.

Facts have proved that the elemental structure of luminous stars in existing living galaxies is indeed very similar to the material in the core of supernovae.

So, was it the collapse of the supernova remnant nebula that triggered the birth of the sun, or was it the invisible hand of the universe that created the luminous stars? "

"I have always believed that the so-called 'hatching eggs' theory is worthy of scrutiny and has no facts to support it.

It is rumored that the 'incubator' has been found, but there is no video data. Who can prove its authenticity.

Therefore, based on the principle of respecting science and respecting facts, both may have the possibility of being established. "

"Teacher Duanmu, an Earth-planet astronomer proposed the Big Bang hypothesis.

During the Big Bang, the explosion of the black hole caused the core and outer shell materials to undergo fission reactions in a strong explosion, producing air masses containing a large amount of protium and other fusion-producing materials.

The nuclear fusion of this air mass produced star larvae. Over the long years, they continued to develop and strengthen themselves, gradually becoming the sun that humans see every day.

As the mass continues to increase, the ability to capture and attract other matter gradually increases, and then attracts larger solid matter, forming a system of planets and satellites.

I wonder if there are any objections to this theory of the formation of life galaxies? "

"Xiao Min, this question mentions two difficulties:

One is the Big Bang hypothesis, which is also the focus of the current debate on the planets of advanced civilizations.

If this theory is established, then according to the reasoning that things must be reversed at the extremes, we can determine that one day in the future, when the elasticity of the universe reaches its end, it is likely to shrink sharply, return to the original point, and collapse to a new beginning.

I agree with the 'circulation hypothesis'. The core reason is based on the theory of dark energy and positive energy. This is a relatively unified view.

The second is the stellar big bang theory. Many facts and phenomena have supported the authenticity of this theory.

However, the laws of the universe are ever-changing. There is no unified opinion yet on what exactly plays a leading role, or is the key thrust, among them. This also provides room for imagination for the 'hatching egg' theory.

In short, the process of the formation of life is both complex and simple, because the time is too long, the life span and development history of human beings are still too short, there are many things and too many theories, there is no need to rush for success, make rash conclusions, and become a joke to future generations. "

"Teacher Duanmu is indeed knowledgeable and far-sighted. He does not settle on temporary opinions, does not refute hypothetical remarks, and does not destroy the source of conjecture. This is an example of rigorous scholarship and deserves our careful consideration."

"Oh, old man, I'm so long-winded and make you young people laugh."

"A master is a teacher. Teacher Duanmu doesn't need to be too humble. Taimin has been taught."

"The place of gain and loss is within an inch, and the universe is vast. When it comes to my heart, the future is long, and you will be waiting for you to fly high. I am very confident in your future, and I hope not to disappoint your teachers at home."

"The teacher's ambition is beyond the reach of the students, so they must try their best. It's just the future. I don't know where it will go..."

Sikong Taimin's face was full of melancholy, and he didn't know what he was talking about or what he was referring to.

Duanmu Yunke thought he was referring to the research direction, and comforted him: "You are still young, and you have plenty of time. If you don't waste it, lay a good foundation, and great things can be accomplished."

"Yeah, great things can happen."

Sikong Taimin sighed deeply in his heart, feeling extremely bitter.
