Chapter 96 Transfer
After leaving the "guest reception area", Du Jin and Li Mengyan were placed in a very compact barracks area, which was "similar to the crew lounge on the Xunyang" and had various living facilities inside. It has everything, but the overall space is indeed relatively small, but this small space gives Du Jin a very rare sense of security. Of course, this can only be done after "Xiao Ai" comes back and checks it thoroughly.
According to the entourage who assigned the residence, if Du Jin and Li Mengyan were willing, they could apply for a double room together, which would have a good improvement in space and facilities, but Du Jin and Li Mengyan refused without any hesitation. After this "imagination" and repeated emphasis that the two were comrades-in-arms and friends, and not in any other relationship, the entourage just smiled and left after briefly explaining some precautions.
At this time, Du Jin discovered that Xinggang paid more attention to Li Mengyan, because her residence was near the left end of the row of barracks, and not far from her there was an emergency response unit stationed in exoskeleton armor that constantly came and went. , that is, compared to the police in the real world, but their armed level is much higher than that in the real world. Although Du Jin knows that he cannot directly compare the two worlds, after all, the enemies he deals with are not a probability. The police in the real world , even the armed police can only deal with armed enemies at most, and the scale will not be too large. Those armored units or those holding weapons of mass destruction are directly dealt with by the army.
But what we encounter here in the Blood Seal World may be elite spies from other colonies or the Federation. There are naturally countless tiny explosive devices and jamming devices. To be more serious, if we encounter armed forces or enemy fleets, Breaking through the peripheral defenses and dispatching armed landing troops, these enemies are likely to be equipped not to mention exoskeleton armor, but also powered mechas and even other ground armor units that Du Jin is not yet aware of. Then if these "police" only have simple armor And with inefficient and destructive weapons, I'm afraid we can only face a one-sided massacre.
"Even in the interstellar age, it seems that it is impossible to build a true utopia!"
Du Jin sighed. At this time, the alloy door of a cabin nearby slowly opened, and a man in a light blue uniform came out with a yawn. He saw the somewhat unfamiliar Du Jin and looked at Du Jin again. Jin opened the cabin door behind him and asked with kindness:
"New neighbor? You know how to adjust the place. Many of our Harmony B District are family members of the military. The security and order here are famous."
Listening to the voice behind him, Du Jin immediately turned his head and saw a man who looked to be in his thirties, with a medium build, thin body, and broad shoulders. His black beard looked a little gray; his big, active eyes were constantly moving. There was a rather cheerful and cunning expression on his face, but this did not give Du Jin a bad first impression. Instead, he had a good impression of him. After hearing the introduction of this place, Du Jin also He responded with a smile:
"Really? It seems I have a good vision! Hello, my name is Du Jin. I don't have any officially appointed position. I have been engaged in scientific research before. I am very happy to meet you."
"You don't have to be so polite. I think we are traveling together. My name is Cheng Chen and I work at the Second Branch of the Star Port Research Center."
"Second location? Sorry, I just came to Ganymede and I have basically no research on this place. Of course, it doesn't matter if it's inconvenient."
Du Jin asked with some doubts, but he did not have any contempt for the researcher in front of him. Judging from Cheng Chen's appearance, although his living standard was not very luxurious, he was definitely very particular and neat. , this also means that the other party has not fallen into a trough in work, which makes Du Jin, who is worried about where to find some skills that can help him, seem to see a way out.
Hearing Du Jin's confused inquiry, Cheng Chen didn't suspect anything. Like most ordinary people in Ganymede, he had absolute trust in Ganymede's management, especially the governor. He believed that Du Jin could actually distribute Living in the cabin here would definitely guarantee your identity, so he shook his head and explained immediately:
"This is not inconvenient. The Second Division is the department in charge of the maintenance and upgrading of star port infrastructure facilities. I serve as an assistant engineer and am mainly responsible for material testing. Although it is not a key position, we are responsible for these Part of it is the foundation. Compared with the foundation of the building, although it does not sound very high-end, it is indeed one of the main endogenous forces of other derivative departments. By the way, Du Jin, if you want to work at the Starport Research Center in the future, you can Priority is given to our Second Division. Those night owls in other departments, especially military research and development, work overtime all day long. Many of them are approaching 40 and don’t have much private time, let alone finding a partner. I think they are going to die alone... ....."
Hearing Cheng Chen's pride and recognition of his work, Du Jin said in agreement:
"Indeed, it is not advisable to invest too much in work and sacrifice personal happiness. I think Mr. Cheng Chen, you must have found a partner worthy of a lifetime, which is much more important than those vague contributions."
At this time, Cheng Chen's expression changed. He coughed slightly in embarrassment, and then pretended to be calm and said with a guilty conscience:
"Uh... You really need to carefully consider this partner. I haven't met the right one yet, so for the time being... I only think about work. That, let's not talk about it for now. Well, I’ll report it first and we’ll talk later.”
Du Jin agreed with a smile. Watching the other party leave in a bit of embarrassment, Du Jin realized that he was already considered a "cash charge" in the eyes of others. Then he wandered around the area a few times. In the process He discovered that the population accommodated in Harmony B Area was not a novel. Judging from the density of cabins and the size of the emergency force station, there were at least more than 10,000 people living here. The various shops on the street were quite complete. There are all the services Du Jin can think of such as food and entertainment, but what is different from the real world is that the streets here are filled with all kinds of avatars and holographic projections, and overhead are a constant stream of various floating cars. Traffic flow, everything is a highly developed scene, and this is a gathering area in the star port. Du Jin can already imagine the prosperity on the surface of Ganymede.
According to Du Jin's understanding, Ganymede is the largest satellite in the solar system. With a diameter larger than that of Mercury and a mass about half that of Mercury, Ganymede is mainly composed of silicate rocks and ice. The star is clearly layered and has an iron-rich, fluid core. It is larger than Mercury and is the only known satellite in the solar system to have a magnetosphere. Ganymede's stratigraphic structure has been fully differentiated. It contains a core composed of ferrous sulfide and iron, and an inner layer composed of silicate. and an outer culvert composed of ice. This structure is supported by the relatively low dimensionless moment of inertia of Ganymede itself - a value of 0.3105 ± 0.0028 - measured by Galileo during several flybys. In fact, Ganymede has the smallest moment of inertia in the solar system. solid celestial body. The intrinsic magnetic field of Ganymede itself, detected by Galileo, is related to its iron-rich, fluid core. Convection in liquid iron with high electrical conductivity is the most reasonable mode for generating magnetic fields.
Although in the modern world, there are still many variables and unknowns about Ganymede. For example, although Ganymede is known to have an iron core, its magnetosphere is still mysterious, especially why other moons of the same size are not Has a magnetic layer. Some studies believe that at the relatively small size of Ganymede, its core should have been sufficiently cooled that the flow of the core and the generation of magnetic fields cannot continue. One explanation claims that orbital resonances that can cause structural deformation of a star's surface can also play a role in maintaining the magnetosphere: that is, Ganymede's orbital eccentricity and tidal heating are increased due to certain orbital resonances, and its mantle also plays a role in maintaining the magnetosphere. Another explanation is that residual magnetism in the silicate rocks in the mantle is responsible for this magnetosphere. If the satellite had had a strong magnetic field based on the dynamo principle in the past, this theory would likely work.
But from the "spots" that symbolized human life that he saw on the surface of Ganymede during his previous return trip from the Xunyang, it can be seen that the Xia Kingdom in the blood-seal world had been there a long time ago. A gathering place for colonization has been established on Ganymede. After all, its surface temperature is only minus 160 degrees. Although it is definitely not warm, it is compared to extremely low-temperature planets such as Neptune and Uranus, as well as high-temperature planets such as Mercury and Venus. , can indeed be regarded as a "habitable planet" with moderate difficulty of transformation (Mercury: average surface temperature 179°C, maximum surface temperature 427°C, minimum surface temperature -173°C, Venus: average surface temperature 482°C, Uranus : Average surface temperature -197.2°C, Neptune: average surface temperature -214°C.)
After visiting the space life that was almost the same as the future life described in the present world, Du Jin suppressed his inner curiosity and desire for new things and came to the door of Li Mengyan's cabin, knocked on the safe and heavy alloy door a few times, and There was no response. Du Jin realized this time that he needed to find a "doorbell" type device. Otherwise, if he wanted to penetrate the sound insulation system of the alloy door with the sound of knocking, he would have to at least use a hydraulic door-breaking hammer with the highest thrust in the world. Otherwise, even if Du Jin broke his hand, he wouldn't be able to let the people in the house notice anything.
