Chapter 37 Chapter 31 Galilee Sea

Captain Laplace thought to himself, I really don't understand how a person can be a doctor, or a planner of affairs, because they both have to deal with some extremely difficult jobs... . "Did you find anything?" "No, Captain. Of course, I don't have the proper equipment. If there are any plants you can't see them without a microscope." "Maybe there's a repeater somewhere on the ship, Chris Jr. suggested we search for it. Are you continuing to take fingerprints and any other evidence?" "Yes, when we contact Gurnymede, we'll send Rose's profile over, but I doubt they'll be able to find out who Rose is, who she's working on, and why she's doing it. "

"At least she has some humanity," said Captain Laplace thoughtfully. "Chang must have known she had failed when he pulled the emergency lever. She could have killed him instead of letting him land." "I think that might be better for us, let me tell you something about what happened when Jenkins and I threw Rose's body out of the waste bin." The doctor pursed his lips palely, "Of course you are right Yes, that's all we can do, we don't have any weights strapped to the body to sink her, she floats for a few minutes. Then we go to check the spacecraft out of curiosity to see if it has lost weight, and then..." The Doctor seemed Hesitating whether to say it or not.

"What's the matter, tell me!" "Something came out of the water, like a parrot's beak, but a hundred times bigger. It snapped at Rose's body and disappeared. Anyone who saw it was impressed, even if we could get there Breathing the air outside, I would never recommend going for a swim..." "The bridge informs the captain," said the officer on duty, "there is a big commotion in the water. I will send the image on the No. 3 camera." "That's what I saw!" exclaimed the Doctor, feeling a sudden chill with an ominous thought, "I hope it's fed like this."

Suddenly a huge object broke through the sea and rushed to the sky.For a split second, the gigantic monster was suspended between the sky and the water. If the most familiar thing appears in a place where it should not appear, it will cause the same shock and weirdness. The captain and Dr. Buddha shouted at the same time: "That's a shark!" Before the monster rushed back into the sea, due to the short time, only a few differences were noticed: the monster had a beak similar to a parrot, had an extra pair of fins than a shark, and seemed to have no gills or eyes, but in There are strange tumors on both sides of the beak, which may be other sensory organs.

"It must be degeneracy," said Botus, "on any planet the same problem, and the same solution; the sharks, dolphins, ichthyosaurs on Earth, all carnivores in the oceans, have very opposite basic shapes, But its beak confuses me..." "What is it doing now?" The monster came to the surface again, but this time it moved very slowly, as if it had exhausted itself from jumping back and forth.In fact, he seemed to be in trouble, as if in great pain, and kept beating his tail against the surface, but not swimming in any particular place. Suddenly it spouts the last of its food, relieves its distended stomach, and rolls boredly in smooth waves.

"Oh, my God," whispered the captain, his voice full of uneasiness, "I think I know what's going on." "One hundred percent alien biochemical substances," said the doctor, as if frightened by the phenomenon before him, "in the end, Rose should be regarded as a victim instead." Galilee was named after the man who discovered Europa, and that man was named after a small sea in a world. It was a very young sea, not more than fifty years old; like most newborn babies, it was sometimes violent.Although the air pressure on Europa is still too thin to produce a real storm, there is a steady wind blowing from the surrounding lands to the tropics illuminated by the magic star, at noon in the Dar area.The water will boil, but with such a thin air pressure, it's still not hot enough to make a good cup of coffee.

Fortunately, this unstable area with steam is located under the magic star, a thousand kilometers away from the spacecraft, and the Yinhe is landing in a relatively calm edge area, less than a hundred kilometers away from the land, flying at high speed At that time, a spacecraft could travel this distance to reach the land in a second, but at this time, it was floating under the thick clouds of Europa, and the land was far away to be a star in the celestial body.Worst case, endless sea winds blow it farther out to sea.But even if it lands on some virgin land in this new world, it probably won't be any better than it is now.

But at least the interior of the spaceship will be more comfortable. Although the spaceship is unsinkable, it is not suitable for sailing; now, Yinhe floats vertically, constantly swinging up and down slowly, causing great vibrations, sometimes Half of the crew was already seasick. One of the first actions Captain Laplace took after receiving the damage report was to find someone with experience in handling a boat (regardless of size or shape).It stands to reason that among the 30 space engineers and space scientists, there should be some people who are familiar with sailing, and he immediately found five amateur sailors, including an expert - Chief Purser Frank Lee, who was originally a Worked in the shipping department of Zong's Shipping, and later transferred to the space department.

Although the Purser is more accustomed to manipulating machines with calculating functions (he usually uses a two-hundred-year-old ivory abacus) than navigational instruments, they still need to pass a basic test of shipmanship.Li never had the chance to practice his sailing skills, and now, a trillion kilometers away in the South China Sea, his chance came. "We've got to fill the propellant tanks," he told the captain, "and then we'll sink a little and not rock so hard." It seemed unwise to let more water into an empty boat, and the captain hesitated. "Will the spaceship flip over?" No one came up with a definite opinion.

"Will it be any different from now?" There wasn't any heated discussion either. Everyone assumed things would be better once they got ashore. "We could blow out the propellant tanks at any time. Anyway, when we touch land, we'll have to blow the tanks in order to turn the ship level. Thank God we still have the power..." His voice dropped, and everyone knew what he meant.They would all be dead within a few hours if the auxiliary reactor failed, preventing the life support system from functioning properly.Today, fortunately, the spacecraft is still barely able to maintain its operation.

Of course, they will starve to death in the end, and they have just dramatically demonstrated that they have no food left, only poison in the oceans of Europa. At least they had contacted Gurneymede and made their predicament known to all.The smartest people in the solar system must be trying to save them right now, and even if they fail, all the passengers and crew on the Galaxy will die with all the attention and attention.
