Chapter 1833: Titan
, super military scientist! Chapter 1833 Titan
It can be said that the few amethyst gems that Zhao Zhongyao and the others got before had experienced a lot of difficulties.
However, under the leadership of Zhao Zhongyao, everyone worked hard to overcome these difficulties, and finally got those amethyst gemstones.
It's just that the sixth amethyst gem that Zhao Zhongyao and the others got this time must go smoothly, with almost no difficulties.
Because that huge flying fish king turned out to be a 'good guy'. It was someone who helped them get the sixth amethyst gemstone.
After Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei got the sixth amethyst gemstone, they left Ganymede. Their next stop is Titan.
Zhao Zhongyao already knew from the star map that the seventh amethyst gem they were looking for was on Titan.
Because this is an extraterrestrial planet most likely to have life. Although people have not found life on it yet. However, there are various indications that Titan is very likely to have some low-level microorganisms.
Titan is rich in organic compounds and elements such as nitrogen, similar to the environment in which early life formed on Earth. The cyanide and hydrocarbons on Titan can generate nitriles under certain circumstances, and then be hydrolyzed by the water ice on the planet to generate carboxylic acids and amines, and the two can also generate amino acids of great significance.
However, there are also important factors restricting the existence of life on Titan. One is that the temperature is too low, the other is that the existence of liquid water has not yet been found, and the third is that Titan has no magnetic field protection, so when it sometimes runs outside the magnetosphere of Saturn, it is directly exposed to the solar wind, and the radiation may make life cannot exist.
Giant hydrocarbon "iceberg" lakes on Saturn's moon Titan could host bizarre life forms, scientists say. NASA researchers say this latest theory may also explain strange readings from the moon's giant lakes and oceans
The new lake on Titan's surface covers 13,000 square miles (34,000 square kilometers) and is part of a lake at Titan's south pole.
Scientists have been studying the characteristics of methane lakes near Titan's poles since the Cassini probe arrived in the Saturn system in 2004, confirming the presence of methane rain on large, frigid moons.
Scientists point out that this new lake is just a shallow swamp, but observations show that when a storm comes, the lake will form deep enough to rush forward with liquid methane.
Not long ago, Elizabeth Tuttle, a planetary scientist at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in the United States, said: "Thunderstorm models on Titan's surface show that a single storm can form tens of centimeters of methane rain."
People have always believed that Titan is the largest moon in the solar system and named it Titan. In Greek mythology, the Titans are a family of giants.
Titan is considered by scientists to be the most likely planet in the solar system for life after Earth. It is the only moon in the solar system with a thick atmosphere. Unlike Earth, whose atmosphere is mostly nitrogen and oxygen, Titan's atmosphere is mostly methane.
Moreover, the dense atmosphere reflects most of the light, causing the anti-greenhouse effect, making the surface of Titan very cold, with a temperature of only minus 180 degrees Celsius, and it is impossible for liquid water to exist. But in 2005 two teams of scientists proposed that alien microbes might live in liquid hydrocarbons in Titan's lakes.
Scientists say that acetylene forms in Titan's atmosphere and descends to Titan's surface. Alien microorganisms eat acetylene and chemically synthesize it with hydrogen to obtain energy.
Since then, dozens of lakes have been discovered on Titan's surface, which scientists believe are filled with a mixture of liquid ethane and methane. However, since no probe directly sampled the Titan lake, no one knows the specific content of acetylene in it. In 1989, some scientists estimated that the content of acetylene in the hydrocarbon liquid in Titan's lakes was only a few parts per ten thousand.
A team of scientists led by Daniel Caudill of the National Institute of Advanced Chemistry in Rennes, France, has performed new calculations of the acetylene content of Titan's lakes. Their latest estimate, based on new data from the Cassini-Huygens mission exploring the Saturn system, says Titan's lakes contain more acetylene.
If there were alien life on Titan, the acetylene in the lake would be enough to feed any hungry alien. In 2005, the "Huygens" probe carried by Cassini landed on Titan, which is filled with liquid methane.
"Huygens" was working on Titan for 24 hours at the time, focusing on detecting possible signs of life on Titan.
In people's minds, Mars has always been an ideal place for extraterrestrial life and human immigration. However, as the face of Titan was gradually revealed, this view gradually faded. Human studies have found that Titan is the Earth 4.5 billion years ago.
Titan has two traits favored by life, boiling organic compounds and a dense, protective atmosphere. Titan is the only satellite in the solar system with a qualified atmosphere, and one of the only four rocky planets in the solar system with a dense atmosphere, the others being Earth, Mars and Venus.
In some ways, Titan's atmosphere is the most Earth-like. Its atmosphere is mainly composed of nitrogen, with a pressure slightly higher than that of Earth. It even has clouds, but these clouds are made of methane and other hydrocarbons instead of water. Many astrobiologists are eager to study Titan's atmosphere as a prototype of the Earth's atmosphere, hoping to discover how complex organic molecules were produced before the emergence of life on Earth.
