Europa, is called Europa in the astronomy. 木卫二,在天文学上被称作欧罗巴。 Has no relations with Europa Continent, but names in beautiful a Phoenicia princess with ancient Greek Mythology, although both are the same in the spelling, but the meaning actually day leaves badly. 与欧罗巴大陆没有任何关系,而是取名与古希腊神话中一位美丽的腓尼基公主,虽然两者在拼写上一样,但含义却天差地别。 But the fact also showed, floats in profound dark Cosmos, the star of this doubtful breeding life, truly is similar to a foreign princess to be like that beautiful. 而事实也证明,漂浮在深邃幽暗的宇宙中,这颗疑似孕育生命的星球,也确实如同一位异国公主那般美丽。 On the broad glacier, dances in the air bit by bit layer upon layer ice fragments in broken bits, once for a while icicle that spouts from the crevice, from the sky disperses such as the gingko tree common ice flower. In the thin atmosphere contains the micro oxygen, although compared to the oxygen content of Earth atmosphere, this content is not worth mentioning. 广阔的冰川上,飞舞着着一层层细碎的冰屑,时不时从裂隙中喷出的冰柱,在空中散开如银杏树一般的冰花。稀薄的大气中蕴含着微量的氧气,虽然相对于地球大气层的氧含量来说,这点含量根本不值一提。 Stands on the white glacier, the less than half sky was occupied by huge Jupiter, from the in the air inserting horizon, having made one have one type, if has walked toward Jupiter, can arrive at the misconception on Jupiter. 站在白茫茫的冰川上,小半个天空都被庞大木星占据,一直从空中嵌入地平线,让人产生一种如果一直朝着木星走,就能走到木星上的错觉。 As a result of reason of plagiarism locking, that huge star forever hovering where. Most light the sunlight from Jupiter reflection, as for Sun, looked that from here wipes the gentle highlight. Therefore, faces Jupiter side to be bright forever, glacier by snow white of photo, but is turning away from Jupiter side, will then be the darkness without limits forever. 由于抄袭锁定的缘故,那颗庞大的星球永远悬停在哪里。大部分的光都是来自木星反射的阳光,至于太阳本身,从这里看去只是一抹柔和的亮点。因此,朝向木星的一面永远是明亮的,冰川被照的雪白,而背对着木星的一面,则是永无止境的黑暗。 The equator temperature about 160 degrees below zero below, the two-pole temperature is lost/carrying below 200 degrees Celsius, the Europa surface ice layer is several km, but under that several kilometers thick ice layer, is one piece also wants the deep sea compared with Earth. 赤道的温度在零下160度左右以下,两极温度更是负200摄氏度以下,木卫二表面的冰层厚达数公里,而在那数公里厚的冰层之下,则是一片比地球还要深的海洋。 However generally speaking, here weather environment compared with Himalia good many. 不过总的来说,这里的气候环境还是要比木卫六上好得多。 Is situated between two glaciers, is all over the body black Colony. 坐落在两座冰川之间的,是一座通体黑色的殖民地。 Why as for must choose with black that the background is incompatible, naturally to illuminate from that limited light, many deriving to coming from the Jupiter light and heat. 至于为什么要选择与背景格格不入的黑色,自然是为了从那有限的光照亮中,更多的汲取到来自木星的光和热。 At this moment, the Colony cabin door opens slowly, an outer space car(riage) starts out from the garage, expunges toward the well drilling of not far away. 就在这时,殖民地的舱门缓缓开启,一辆太空车从车库中开出,向着不远处的钻井开去。 „Here is Serial Number z1214, has arrived in the destination, the oil drilling platform working condition is good, is replacing the battery.” “这里是编号z1214,已经抵达目的地,钻井平台运转情况良好,正在更换电池。” „Receives...... please report the condition momentarily.” “收到……请随时汇报状况。” „Understanding.” “了解。” Wears the heavy/thick spacesuits, an engineer jumped down from the outer space vehicle, opened the trunk of outer space car(riage), took out a battery of roughly laptop size from inside, walked in the direction of oil drilling platform. 穿着厚重的宇航服,一名工程师从太空车上跳下,打开了太空车的后备箱,从里面取出了一块约莫手提电脑大小的电池,向着钻井平台的方向走了过去。 His name was Tan Ming, from China, was the Earth Defense League Jupiter Cooperation Development Plan first group of immigrants. Before setting foot on this lands, he has only had one month of compatible training on Moon. Raises as for the present in his hand, is together the nuclear battery, inside thinks of Helium-3 and tritium, outside by the thick lead insulation package. 他的名字叫谭明,来自华国,属于地球防卫同盟木卫合作开发计划的第一批移民。在踏上这片土地之前,他在月球上只接受过一个月的适应性培训。至于现在提在他手上的,是一块核电池,里面装着氦三和氚,外面由厚厚的铅隔层包裹。 The gravity environment on Europa is better than Himalia, probably is about 1/7 of Earth gravity, slightly is lower than Moon. As long as has had training in space walk aspect in Guanghan City, this degree of gravity can adapt with ease. 木卫二上的重力环境比木卫六稍好一些,大概是地球重力的七分之一左右,略低于月球。但凡是在广寒市接受过太空行走方面的培训,这种程度的重力都能够轻松适应。 Jumped on the support, Tan Ming from took out the spanner behind, twisted open fixed the bolt on battery connection, extracted a data line to connect wrist computer on arm, entered the password of unlocking. 跳到了支架上,谭明从身后取出了扳手,扭开了固定在电池接口上的螺栓,抽出一根数据线连接到了手臂上的腕载电脑,键入了解锁的密码。 As air leakage results in makes a sound lightly, trapdoor separating of stationary battery. 随着一声漏气似得轻响,固定电池的活动门弹开。 Proficiently takes down from the oil drilling platform the battery, then he will raise, in the battery of left hand forced in the scoop channel, then closed the battery cabin door, screwed tight the fixed bolt. 熟练地将电池从钻井平台上取下,然后他将提在左手的电池塞进了凹槽中,接着将电池舱门重新关上,拧紧了固定的螺栓。 „Here is Serial Number z1214, the battery has replaced, the well drilling power supply is normal.” “这里是编号z1214,电池已经更换完毕,钻井供电正常。” „Inspects drill.” “检查钻头。” „Is being inspected......” Tan Ming to enter several buttons on wrist computer, looks that the progress bar read fully, then relaxes , to continue saying that „drill good shape, did want me to open it?” “正在检查中……”谭明在腕载电脑上键入了几个按钮,看着进度条读满,然后松了口气,继续说道,“钻头状况良好,要我打开它吗？” „Opens.” “打开吧。” Proficiently jumps down from the support of oil drilling platform, that engineer fluttered steadily in the ground. 熟练地从钻井平台的支架上跳下,那名工程师稳稳地飘到了地面上。 With rumble dull thumping sound that following the sole transmits, the oil drilling platform starts to revolve. 伴随着顺着脚底传来的隆隆声闷响,身后的钻井平台开始重新运转。 In the outpost station in not far away, all researcher, which country regardless of, encircle at this moment in Command Room of outpost station, calm is looking in the screen that unceasingly downward red line. Stands since the oil drilling platform starting from that moment, they are waiting for this moment, in an instant had passed for a month. 不远处的前哨站内,所有的科研人员,无论来自哪个国家,此刻都围在前哨站的指挥室内,安静地望着屏幕中那根不断向下的红线。从钻井平台立起的那一刻开始,他们就在等待着这一刻了,转眼间已经过去了一个月。 According to the analysis of Koro University alien research institute, the suitable seabed temperature adds on the rich oxygen resources and seabed volcano illumination, under the Europa ice cap likely has the vital activity. All drill and Detector after aseptic processing, to avoid the Earth colony or the virus causes the pollution to the Europa sea. 根据科罗大学外星生物研究所的分析,适宜的海底温度加上丰富的氧资源与海底火山光照,木卫二的冰盖之下很可能存在生命活动。所有的钻头和探测器都经过无菌处理,为了避免地球菌落或者病毒对木卫二的海洋造成污染。 Red point that symbolizes drill unceasingly downward, the seismic wave of feedback is started by weak revolutions, is also getting more and more near from the contact surface of ice and water. 那颗标志着钻头的红点不断向下,回传的震波开始由弱转强,距离冰与水的界面也越来越近。 If as expected, today is ice-breaking that moment! 如果不出意外的话,今天就是破冰的那一刻！ At this moment, on another holographic screen, the seismic wave suddenly presented the fierce vibration, the Alarm signal light resounded, in entire Command Room looked like the boiling water that boiled to be the same, all staff bustle about immediately. 就在这时,另一幅全息屏幕上,震波突然出现了剧烈的抖动,警报的信号灯响起,整个指挥室内就像是沸腾的开水一样,所有工作人员立刻忙碌了起来。 „Ice layer to split open, detects the much gas to upwell!” “冰层开裂,侦测到大量气体上涌！” „Stops sneaking, detonates the perforation installment!” “停止钻进,引爆射孔装置！” „Receives!” “收到！” After being under the order of Prefect, sits the staff before control tower, immediately grips red that the hand, made an effort to advance the bottom it. 得到了长官的命令后,坐在指挥台前的工作人员,立刻握住了那红色的把手,用力将它推到了底。 On Europa, the heat is more important than the water. Here water resources is exceptionally rich, even on the water compared with Earth are many. The water on Earth basically on the surface, but the Europa water actually all installs in the belly. 在木卫二上,热量比水更重要。这里的水资源异常丰富,甚至比地球上的水还要多。地球上的水基本上都在表面上,而木卫二的水却是全都装在肚子里。 Long ago NASA has made the crosswise contrast in this aspect, piled up one on top of another a spheroid Earth water resources and Europa water resources through the way of data modeling, but the conclusion that finally drew was also so. 很久以前nasa就做过这方面的横向对比,通过数据建模的方式将地球水资源和木卫二的水资源堆叠成一个球体,而最后得出的结论也是如此。 The tidal force causes Europa always to be at repeatedly the state of motion of stretch and contraction, the energy that this movement has heated up the ice layer following sea water, is the seabed lifeform vital activity provides the heat with the seabed volcanic activity together. 潮汐力导致木卫二自身总是处在反复拉伸和收缩的运动状态,这种运动产生的能量加热了冰层下面的海水,与海底火山活动共同为海底生物生命活动提供热量。 However also the stretch and contractive motion that because this tidal force causes, making the Europa ice cap extremely easy to happen to be similar to the extrusion of Earth plate movement, thus has the ice valley of glacier and break that the crack sticks out. On Europa can see that frequently several hundred kilometers high water column sprays from the crack, but solidifies the ice crystal under the ultra-low temperature instantaneously the magnificent scene, is for this reason. 然而也正是因为这种潮汐力导致的拉伸和收缩运动,使得木卫二的冰盖极易发生类似于地球板块运动的挤压,从而产生裂缝隆起的冰川和断裂的冰谷。木卫二上经常可以看到几百千米高的水柱从裂缝中喷射而出,而在超低温下瞬间凝固成冰晶的壮观景象,就是因为这个原因。 Almost hand pushed down flash, above thorough ice cap several kilometers drill, suddenly the flame of twinkle flash. The anchor check that the electromagnetic launch explodes, went into ruthlessly in ice cap that is extruding the drill rod, fixed drill in the ice layer stubbornly. 几乎就在把手被推下的一瞬间,深入冰盖数公里的钻头上方,突然闪烁一瞬间的火光。电磁弹射爆开的锚勾,狠狠地扎进了挤压着钻杆的冰盖中,将钻头死死地固定在了冰层中。 Meanwhile, drill under erupts the fierce vibration, cracks start to spread from the back of ice cap upwardly. Almost by the drill ice cap, was started the break of big piece from the back, touches the drill instance until that crack, the entire ice cap on such as with the punctured balloon, the sea water is combining the air bubble of high pressure, hit in a flash to that drill 与此同时,钻头的下方爆发出剧烈的抖动,一道道裂纹从冰盖的背面开始向上蔓延。几乎被钻头的冰盖,从背面开始大片的断裂,直到那一道道裂纹触碰钻头的瞬间,整个冰盖就如用被刺破的气球,海水混杂着高压的气泡,一瞬间撞向了那颗钻头 „Damn! Drill rod break!” “该死！钻杆断裂！” „Serial Number z1214, evacuates this/should region immediately, I Repeat, immediately evacuates!” “编号z1214,立刻撤离该区域,重复一遍,立刻撤离！” Feels trembling that the sole is transmitting, Tan Ming face panic-stricken retreat several steps, after he hears the sound that the ear broadcast, crawls to the direction of outer space car(riage) without delay immediately, starts the engine, while loudly exclaimed. 感受着脚底传来的震颤,谭明一脸惊恐地后退了几步,当他听到了耳边传来的声音后,二话不说立刻向太空车的方向爬了进去,一边发动引擎,一边大吼道。 „Grass! What did you make a moment ago?!” “草！你们刚才做了什么？！” „Our anything has not made...... the following situation complex possibly compared with we imagine many...... you leave here in brief a bit faster......” “我们什么也没做……下面的情况可能比我们想象中的复杂的多……总之你快点离开这里……” That side the following headquarters had to say anything, he has not paid attention to listen. After sitting the driver seat, he used the quickest speed to start the outer space car(riage), almost stepped on the limit the accelerator, but when his hurricane had/left the 500~600 meter recklessly, only heard a depressed loud sound underground to transmit from the chair, almost must raise from the seat him. 后面指挥部那边有说了些什么,他已经没注意去听了。坐上了驾驶座后,他用最快的速度发动了太空车,几乎是将油门踩到了极限,而就在他不要命地狂飙出五六百米的时候,只听见一声沉闷的巨响从椅子地下传来,几乎要将他从座位上掀起。 „Grass!” “草！” Proceeded to fiercely, Tan Ming has looked back subconsciously, then saw that dozens meters high oil drilling platform, was similar to the volcanic eruption common icicle bang to ascend the sky. Circled the upward water column from the sky to disperse pure white ice fragments, just like tornado that grew from the ground, from the sky is dancing in the air the stance of fluttering flags. 头猛地往前冲了下,谭明下意识地回过头看去,便看见那座数十米高的钻井平台,被如同火山喷发一般的冰柱轰上了天。盘旋向上的水柱在空中散开了一圈圈洁白的冰屑,如同从地上生长出来的龙卷风一样,在空中飞舞着旖旎的姿态。 Steps on the foot of accelerator cannot help but to loosen, has started out the outer space car(riage) of risk area to stop slowly. Mung bean big hail hit gently in the glass window, but his line of sight by solidification stubbornly there. 踩着油门的脚不由自主地松开,已经开出危险区域的太空车缓缓停了下来。一颗颗绿豆大的冰雹轻轻地撞在玻璃窗上,而他的视线则被死死的凝固在了那里。 Tan Ming can pledge. 谭明可以发誓。 This absolutely is his whole life, has seen most magnificent one...... 这绝对是他这辈子,见到过最壮观的一幕……
