Chapter 341 Purgatory Star

The magic moon is a composite multi-layered sphere with a diameter of about 30 kilometers and the overall appearance is purple-gold. Under the torsion of the overlapping gravitational field of the sun, the parent star and itself, it is kept at a constant distance from the parent star.

In orbit 150,000 kilometers above the surface of the star;

This 'moon' will revolve around its mother star, but will not rotate on its own north and south poles. Its revolution period is set to 40 days/round. In the method of 'shooting first and then drawing the target', it is consistent with the Republic's

The formulated calendar expressions were synchronized;

Moreover, the size it displays within the horizon of the earth's surface is fixed by the virtual realm to be equal to the sun, and the corresponding 'moon phases' will be formed according to the distinction of 'early, middle, late and late ten days' to further improve it.

Understand the elves' definition of 'moon';

In addition, the Republic has issued many definitions of "deification" in contrast to the sun in various sects, as a way to pave the way for certain future plans.

In terms of specific functions, in addition to providing fusion energy in the form of microwaves and currents to the more than 400 'mother trees' connecting the earth's surface and the moon's circumference, the magic moon also uses it as a force field, magnetic field, domain effect, etc.

The generating end and amplifier of the aspect can more conveniently control the climate and tidal changes of the parent star, and interact with the geomagnetic field to form a more effective protection.

In terms of materials, the main body of the Magic Moon is mostly made of metal. Even though it is a non-solid structure composed of multiple layers of functional cavities, the diameter of 30 kilometers still requires a huge amount of material to truly

was built.

Therefore, the "stinginess" of the elves was clearly revealed here.

The Republic would rather pay a huge price to raise materials than let the home star lose so much material. Therefore, as early as when the plan was formulated, the elves turned their attention to the space outside the home star.

Judging from the technology at the time, there were actually three places in the parent galaxy that were more suitable sources of matter;

One is located in the first orbit ‘Purgatory Star’;

The second is the ‘Death Star’ located in the third orbit;

The third one is the asteroid belt located between the third orbit and the fourth orbit.

In the subsequent many observations of them, the elves finally made the 'Purgatory Star' the top priority exploration target based on factors such as internal disturbance feedback, the distance between the stars, and the physical characteristics of the elves.

Therefore, after the ‘Spell Moon Project’ project was formally established around Rune Calendar 147, the ‘Purgatory Star Exploration Project’ as its branch was also established at almost the same time, and a considerable amount of scientific research resources were invested in batches.

In the process of carrying out this branch plan, the existing technical route of the Republic not only determines certain conveniences, but also has a certain negative impact on the plan.

For example, at a time when electric-driven or light-driven totem technology had not yet achieved a breakthrough, the Beast King's Cage became the most reliable and only totem driving source. However, due to its preciousness due to its direct link to the 'number of mouths',

As well as the risks inherent in remote operation, the Republic is hesitant to directly launch an unmanned exploration spacecraft that uses the beast king's cage to drive the totem.

After all, just in case anything goes wrong in the process.

For example, once an exploration spacecraft misses its scheduled orbit and is captured by the sun, the spacecraft without the personal control of the caster will most likely never come back;

Among them, the loss of the main body of the exploration spacecraft does not matter, but once the beast king's cage inside is accidentally loaded into the sun, the direct or indirect losses it can cause to the Republic will be enough to make the elves cry.

A hundred years, or even longer.

Therefore, they chose to settle for the next best thing in the 'Purgatory Planet Exploration Project' and instead launched a 'purely physical unmanned spacecraft' carrying a surface detector, which directly used physical fission reactors and solar energy to generate plasma.

The thrusters provided driving energy and flew to Purgatory while taking advantage of the best orbital window.

Failure, failure. When the launch was carried out for the third time, the exploration spacecraft departing from far-Earth orbit finally successfully reached the orbit of Purgatory and launched two types of detectors to its surface.

The first type is purely physical property detector;

But within just one day after they arrived on the surface, the space station lost contact with all members of its home planet;

According to subsequent analysis, it can be seen that the reason for this situation is that ordinary materials without totems to support their performance simply cannot adapt to the harsh environment on the Purgatory planet, resulting in their destruction in a short period of time.

The second type is a totem inscription detector loaded with ‘high-energy cell fluid’ in advance;

This batch, until the totem drive source reserve inside is exhausted, has been delivering valuable first-hand information to the space station.

And unlike the 'internal disturbance feedback observation' and 'telescope observation', which are interfered by material density and obscured by the atmosphere, the data from ground detectors are obtained from on-site inspections and are naturally more reliable than the former two;

Therefore, after receiving a series of data sent back regularly by the space station, the home planet finally obtained a more detailed situation of Purgatory Planet and found that its environmental conditions were indeed very harsh.

Based on relevant analysis, the engineering team learned that the planetary magnetic field of Purgatory is very weak, its rotation period (about 230 days) is longer than its revolution period (about 220 days), and the star also has a mass of more than 96% greenhouse gases.

atmosphere;

And such an atmosphere makes its surface atmospheric pressure dozens of times that of the Elf home planet, and has a huge impact on its temperature. If the absolute zero degree of the universe is used as the starting point to describe its situation, then Purgatory

The average surface temperature of the star is 835 degrees absolute, making it the hottest planet in the known range of its parent galaxy.

At the same time, highly reflective clouds formed by volcanic gases and corrosive droplets completely covered Purgatory, and this opaque cloud blocked most of the visible light from space, making the planet's surface very dim;

Moreover, at the top of the planet's clouds, there are strong winds reaching hundreds of kilometers per hour. Although the surface below appears relatively calm, it also creates a forward resistance that cannot be ignored due to the influence of the density of the atmosphere.

However, the results of this observation are not all bad news, or in other words, they are not bad news only for elves.

First, as long as an elf has developed to the sub-adult stage, it can directly withstand the average temperature and even the highest temperature on its surface without protection;

Second, after filtering out the corrosive droplets in the atmosphere, the elves can survive by activating the attached lungs in the salamander period and relying on the volcanic gases on them;

Third, as long as there are no exposed injuries on the surface of the body and relatively fragile parts such as the eyes are well protected, the corrosive droplets in the atmosphere will be blocked by the tough skin on the surface, making it impossible to damage the inner structures.

causing substantial damage;

Fourth, the elves in the 'Salamander Period' were able to live in extremely deep magma. Although their pressure-bearing capacity has deteriorated to a certain extent due to their adaptation to the surface environment, it is only dozens of times greater than that of their parent planet.

The atmospheric pressure will not cause the death of the elves, but a certain degree of 'uncomfortability' can also be overcome through the totem inscriptions on the body;

Fifth, the thick atmosphere on Purgatory attenuates cosmic radiation, so there is no need for special protection in this regard.

So taking these points together, such a harsh environment is by no means an insurmountable obstacle for the elves, and it will even provide greater convenience than those on low-temperature planets.

In terms of resources, there are also many huge volcanoes on the surface of Purgatory, and the magma flowing from them is rich in metal compounds;

Moreover, there is still a certain amount of water in this magma. As long as preliminary engineering preparations are made, it can be collected and utilized before it decomposes. Even if the 'magma gills' of the salamander period can be degenerated, it can be directly

Relying on the characteristics of the body to complete the filtration and absorption of water;

The question that exists is actually just whether it is necessary or not. After all, the purpose of the elves in the past was mining, not to drill into the magma to find a new home;

However, regardless of whether they ultimately choose to degenerate from the salamander gills and then reach the surface, based on current technology alone, the elves are already able to draw from the magma and reserve a certain amount of water, so as long as they control the number of those ahead

, there is no need to transport water all the way from the mother star.

All in all, after confirming that 'purgatory' is not really 'purgatory' for elves, the next step of the plan was naturally determined and launched.

After going around and around, time came to July 36th in the 150th year of the Rune Calendar. This was also the best window period obtained through observation and calculation.

If you choose to fly away from the far-Earth orbit base on this day, after about thirty days of sailing on a fixed route, the exploration spacecraft will be able to reach Purgatory at the nearest orbit of 45 million kilometers, thus saving a lot of time.

and energy;

And what is being carried out in this plan is not the previous 'exploration without crew'. It is the preparation to actually carry the elves and embark on the passage to the Purgatory Planet.

Although there are still certain risks in this sudden voyage, the control of the mimic spaceship has also minimized this risk. At least it can ensure the survival of the crew and the safety of the Beast King's cage, and the same is true

These two favorable prerequisites make the dispatch of high-level spellcasters inevitable.

Therefore, two fifth-level spellcasters, led by Freya, 'drove' the mimic spacecraft on the road ahead that day.

This is an extremely luxurious spacecraft in a sense. It uses a beast king-level cage as the totem drive source, and uses the totem fission reactor and solar energy as a double guarantee to provide energy for the plasma thruster and load

There is an ultra-high-performance nanoscale brain that serves as a secondary assistant in navigation and control;

In addition, the spacecraft is also equipped with another beast king-level cage, but it does not participate in supporting the totem drive of the spacecraft, and will only be delivered to the Purgatory Planet after the casters have completed the initial exploration and initial construction.

The surface of the earth and became the basis for the construction of the planetary base.

~~~~~~~~

In the deep space, the fifth-level spellcaster in the spacecraft has released the combined state and handed over the control of the spacecraft to the auxiliary intelligence brain. While he is waiting for the moment to reach the predetermined orbit, he is also conducting some other explorations.

At this time, the spacecraft had actually been sailing in the universe for more than ten days. After getting through the initial excitement caused by the maiden voyage, the unchanging scenery outside the portholes made the two crew members feel quite nervous.

degree of boredom.

In the domain signal cabin, Freya was performing some operations on the brain, trying to repair the virtual signal that had not been observed since about the third day after departure, and this also allowed the crew on board to

One of the main reasons why we feel bored and bored.

While she was busy, a purple torrent suddenly burst out from between the bulkheads, flowed together, and then turned into the body of a female elf.

This elf's name is Agathatus, which is the little girl who met the 'Bird King' at an altitude of 30,000 meters, but now she has fully matured and seems to have become a powerful fifth-level spellcaster. Otherwise,

Nor will it appear and appear here in this way.

"Sister Freya, haven't you connected to the realm yet?"

"It's completely unobservable."

"It's an unplanned situation. We seem to have ignored the domain's signal range." After hearing this, Agatha, who was bored to the point of boredom, said with a grimace.

"It's not completely unplanned. After all, its ability to restrain thoughts is something we have known for a long time. It would be strange if it could really spread infinitely here."

"That's right. But this is not an option at all. Maybe we should leave some relay stations on the waterway?" Agatha said thoughtfully, "But what should be used as a medium seems to be another problem?"

"In the short term, you may still have to use electromagnetic waves, but it may still be feasible in the parent galaxy. If you go further, you have to consider the attenuation caused by scattering and absorption, as well as the interference of background radiation. The result may be that you cannot accept it.

Or you’ll receive a bunch of gibberish.”

Freya no longer messed with the computer, she sat down and started thinking about this issue, and added later,

"If you want to be more efficient and stable, you may have to start with visible light. For example, we use gravitational field magic to fix the functions of 'Holy Light Reception' and 'Holy Light Transmission' at each calculated space point.

Repeaters, and then arranging terminals with 'transceiver' and 'decode' functions on the spacecraft or planetary base, should be able to achieve faster and more efficient virtual transmission."

"Either we can continue to increase the size of the elves, use a huge population to accumulate enough thoughts to ignore the distance between the planets, and thus wrap the entire inner solar system into the virtual realm, but the required number of individuals should not be easily achieved.

"

"As for higher-end technologies with wider applications, we may have to wait until we make revolutionary breakthroughs in the quantum field, such as real-time communication using the quantum entanglement effect, and then find ways to seamlessly connect it with the virtual world.

As for other forms, I can’t think of them at the moment.”

"Tsk tsk. It's really troublesome. If only there was no universe, and everyone lived in that 'plane' like in the novel, maybe there wouldn't be so many worries?"

When Agatha said this, her eyes suddenly turned, as if she had thought of some good idea, and she smiled and said,

"Sister Freya, do you think you can bring Purgatory Star over?"

"How to say?"

"Think about it, if we pull the orbit of Purgatory Star to the side of the parent star, and then use magic to form a stable 'double star system'."

Agatha, who became more and more excited as she talked, kept gesticulating and continued,

"After that, in order to prevent all living things on the home star from dying, we can first modify the atmosphere structure and composition of the purgatory star, and then connect it with the atmosphere of the home star to form a stable channel in the shape of a stick. When the time comes, you can see Purgatory when you look up.

If you want to go to a star, you can also modify the parameters of the anti-gravity field aircraft, and then be pushed by the mother star and pulled by the purgatory star?"

"It's even said that as long as we calculate the adjustment range of the gravitational field, we can bring all the materials in the parent galaxy together except the sun. Won't distance and other matters not be a problem?"

"Then directly 'deify', set a corresponding concept for those sects to make them think that this world should be like this, and then through the erosion of reality in the virtual realm, we will one day be able to do it without spending excess energy.

, fixing this pattern with the changed rules.”

"Forehead"

Freya was first surprised by her companion's whimsy. After thinking about it for a while, she found that it seemed feasible, so she responded uncertainly,

"If. I mean if we can complete the first step of traction, and develop 'electric drive', or 'light drive', or other 'field drive' totem technology, and have enough energy, then

It doesn’t seem impossible?”

"Moreover, maybe we can go one step further. For example, we can stop classifying planets and directly transform the parent star into a super-large rocky planet, or even into a continent suspended outside the sun?"
