Chapter 508: Europa

Main thruster shut down, entering orbit...

Auxiliary thrusters on, landing thrusters on, landing gear on...

The coordinates of the landing area are being calibrated, and the deviation from the expected lander is 1.3M......

Started scanning the landing zone, found no threats

Atmospheric generating tower is functioning normally, countdown to landing

5! 4! 3! 2! 1!

All thrusters are off! Turn on the landing pod searchlight!

boom.....

The dull impact sound was transmitted into the cockpit through the hull of the spaceship.

"This is the colony ship MW2-01. We have successfully landed at the landing point, we have successfully landed at the landing point, over!" Several crew members carefully unfastened their safety belts.

The gravity far less than that of the earth made the crew jump from the floor into the air with a little effort.

Looking out from the porthole of the cockpit, you can see the endless white icebergs on the surface of Europa. These icebergs reflect dazzling light under the sunlight.

And not far from the landing point of the spacecraft, there is a silver tower with a height of more than 100 meters. The top of this tower is still spraying white gas outward.

Europa, the fourth largest satellite of Jupiter, commonly known as Europa, has a volume and mass slightly smaller than that of the moon, and its cold surface is covered with ice layers as thick as 10 to 30 kilometers.

Under the ice layer, there is an incomparably rich water source, relying on the heat generated by the gravity of planets such as underground volcanoes and Jupiter, and under the ice layer is a huge ocean with a depth of hundreds of kilometers.

Such a huge water source has become the first choice for humans to immigrate to aliens, and it has become the first place in the Republic's new colonization plan.

Unlike Ganymede, which has been sold to the Titan Group and developed by Gawain Nematode, this place can be said to be the most distant colony of human beings.

As early as a year ago, the Republic commissioned Titan Aviation to launch a large number of atmospheric generating towers on Europa. These atmospheric generating towers generate a steady stream of energy by separating the hydrogen in the ice layer. Before humans set foot on this planet Before that, we began to create an environment suitable for human survival.

Although hundreds of atmospheric generation towers have been launched, it is still too far away from completely transforming this planet.

However, if it is near the atmosphere generation tower, humans can barely survive by relying on adaptive evolution genes.

Therefore, the landing point of this colony was chosen on the plain next to the first atmospheric generation tower launched.

"This atmospheric generation tower has been in operation for more than a year. The environment here is barely suitable for the survival of evolved humans. The work of the colony can begin!" A crew member took off his mask after stepping out of the spaceship. Evolution in an oxygen-deficient environment, the skin of this crew member already has the ability to absorb oxygen.

Cooperating with the huge lungs that have evolved into left and right, this crew member has been able to obtain the scarce oxygen in the air near the atmosphere generation tower.

"The external air environment has been determined! Ready to deploy the colony!"

"All staff stay away from the marked forbidden area!"

When the sound of gears running came, the watermelon worm-like landing pod began to crack several gaps in the middle,

The shell of the landing pod began to fall towards the surrounding ground.

In the middle of the landing cabin, a tall tower like a hanging tower began to rise slowly.

And in front of the tower, the building modules began to move to the surrounding metal ground, leaving a disc-shaped small square in front of the tower.

"The colony point is unfolding normally, the multi-function tower has been raised, and the landing platform has been vacated!"

"The colony ship in orbit can start landing!"

The colony ship that received the signal began to adjust its attitude in orbit, aiming the propeller at the tail of the spacecraft at the surface of Europa.

Driven by the bow thrusters, the colony ship rushed to the colony point on the surface of Europa.

When the spaceship reached a height of 500 meters, the thrusters at the tail turned on again, and the surging flames held the 500-meter-long colonial spaceship firmly in midair.

"All staff leave the landing pad!"

"Start laser positioning!"

"The colony ship is starting to land! 3! 2! 1!" With the excited shouts of the staff in the command tower, the colony ship stopped firmly on the landing platform in the center of the colony point, and the flames from the propellers were landed Vents around the deck vented to the sky.

After the colony ship came to a complete stop, ten pairs of mechanical clamps popped up from the left and right sides of the multifunctional tower, firmly fixing the colony ship in front of the launch tower.

At the same time, the bow of the colonial ship was also opened to both sides, revealing the huge cargo warehouse inside the colonial ship.

The hanging tower at the top of the multi-purpose tower began to lift a large number of containers out of the spaceship from the colony ship's cargo hold.

"Very good! Very good! It's ok! Just put it here!" On the ice around the colony point, a large number of staff waved light sticks to direct the pendant to neatly place the container houses for living in the colony point around.

After these container houses landed, four metal rods popped out of the box and inserted into the ice.

Then, on both sides of the container, like some RVs, half of the small boxes protrude to both sides, and solar panels are also spread out on the top of the boxes.

Although the area of ​​each of these container houses is less than 20 square meters, after unfolding, it becomes a double-storey residence with two upper and lower floors of 80 square meters. The kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and study room are all available in the house!

After the deployment of the container housing is completed, all the dormant chambers located in the container are closed, and the colonists in the dormant chambers wake up from dormancy under the electric shock.

In just five days, the entire colony ship was dismantled, leaving only one-fifth of it, and the colony expanded to a diameter of 500 meters.

Neat and uniform container houses form a residential area, and around the houses are newly planted energy supply blankets and non-slip treated road surfaces.

With the green background of the energy supply blanket, this colony already has a little vitality.

At this time, one-fifth of the colonial ship that had been dismantled rose into the air again.

A colony ship with a modular design can be left with a reusable sub-ship after the colony is established.

This sub-ship will return to the Mars colony for supplies, and then return to Blue Star to pick up a new batch of colonists and equipment to return to Europa.

This time alone, there are five colonies of 500 people on the equator of Europa.

In the next ten years, the Republic will continue to launch as many as one hundred colony ships, sending 50,000 colonists to this remote satellite for large-scale development.

At the same time, exploration activities for the ocean under the ice of Europa also began simultaneously.
