Chapter 759:

Caton and his men have been waiting for Mercury to work on the large generator on the nose of the power cabin. They recalibrated the output and corrected it based on the records kept during the inward flight. Now they have the ability to drive the spacecraft away from the sun. After coming in, they were not sure what their drive would do and what they could do. Go outside and they know what will happen.
They did not travel out blindly, because it was both a crude waste of power and inaccuracy. Instead, the spacecraft tilted a long bend away from the sun and moved in a gently curved orbit, which allowed it to bring into Venus while Venus itself moved along its orbit. This is what they tried to do before, but without success. Venus orbits the sun at a speed of about 32 miles per second, and it takes about 224.5 days to complete the cycle. From where Magellan took off, it would approach and surpass Venus at a speed slightly over 32 miles per second.
Life passed quickly. They took pictures at the Mercury station, and engineers and astronomers spent a long time discussing their characteristics so that what they saw matched what they knew at the Andes station.
The light of Venus is getting bigger and bigger. It is a mysterious planet, the most mysterious planet in the system, even though it is the planet closest to the earth. Venus is a world, and its atmosphere has a lot of clouds deep in the earth. Never did dark clouds rise to the surface. Dark clouds illuminate the sunlight densely, but now Li Huai can see with his naked eyes, part of the fog is hazy, as if a storm is raising dark particles from below.
When Lars observed the coming planet, he said: "We have a few probe rockets that hit its surface." "They didn't prove too much-the color faded quickly, but we thought they determined the time of day. No one. Know how many hours it takes Venus to rotate on its axis. Some people even think that it always presents a face to the sun like Mercury. Others think that its day is shorter than the earth, but others give it a day for nearly a month. time.
"Our exploration rocket carries an unmanned vehicle, which can definitely indicate that the planet has about twenty earth days in a day. Even if it is obscured by clouds, it must be very hot near the surface."
"We will find out soon." Li smirked. "After Mercury, it's not bad. Maybe it has been raining."
Russ shrugged. "Who knows?" he said.
When Magellan arrived, Venus circled a vast ocean of white and gray clouds under it. They hang above the clouds, and stretched below them is a circular veiled mysterious bowl, which is the star of the legendary poetry and song.
Oberfield is using a radiation counter to detect solar tap distortion on the surface. Nothing was found on the earth, but it has been difficult to observe the sunlight of Venus from the orbit of the third planet. But soon, astronomers confirmed this fact. Calculations of the planet’s albedo, the ratio of the sunlight it reflects, show that in a large central area, the light dims. Somewhere in that place, the light was diverted.
Lockhart gradually lowered Magellan, getting closer, and finally sinking into the rich atmosphere of Venus. Now, only a cloud of white mist can be seen from each disc. But this ship is not blind. The radar pierced the clouds, and the crew could see from the wide screen that they had not touched the water.
"Beware of the mountains," whispered, hanging on Lockhart's shoulders.
Their progress is slow but steady. The clouds around them were not cleared, but they were still gray. After falling for nearly two hours, flickering appeared on the radar. It has no features, no mountains, only seemingly flat plains.
Above and around them, white clouds still enveloped everything. But now Li Huai thought he saw a pale light. Gradually, the whiteness faded away and turned into wisps of fragments.
They hung under the gray sky. Below them, barely visible for half a mile in the misty air, they saw the surface of Venus. They are on the water. An endless ocean stretches below them, without rocks or islands. Venus is a water world!
In Magellan hanging in the air, and men studying the world, it has been a mystery for so long. The air is not the clear sky of the earth; on the contrary, it is the kind before the fog, thick and humid, and the horizon gradually turning gray. Below them lay a patch of mottled water, reflecting the gray sky, almost turning dark brown. The water is still and occasionally stirred by slight waves. Russ silently said to Li Hao: "There is no wave to take this water away." "There is no moon to pull them. The speed of this world is so slow that it hardly disturbs the water."
"To me, it seems very shallow," Li Hao said. "The darker part looks as if the bottom must be closed."
Russ replied: "I think so. We will continue to work hard." "I feel that the whole world might be like this...a vast, shallow, swampy ocean. Do you see scum floating on it?"
"Did you see it? Since you mentioned it, there is almost nothing left," Li Bad replied. "There is mud everywhere, like oil slick, even overgrown with weeds."
It is true that the water shows a strange dirt on its surface, which is different from anything on land. There were brown-gray slime and green floating spots everywhere. The shiny yellow spots, like bright oil droplets, seemed to flow through and float among the dirt.
On the radar, Haynes began to yell. As Russ guessed, it was a shallow sea. In some places, the bottom is only ten feet below. For a while, all crew members were quiet, looking at the silent waters below them.
"Not clean, the whole place looks unclean," Lockhart said at last. "We have work to do. Let us find the sun click station."
The rest of the crew began to move. The spacecraft began to move slowly, and Oberfield and Caton searched for the line of force to the station.
There was now a long, low river bank, with muddy protrusions above the water. There are other low mud stretches here and there, once a ridge.
Say: "I haven't seen animals or birds." "Do you want to have them?"
Russ raised his lips. "I don't think so. From the perspective of this world, life may not have developed to the present. You will not find animals until there is no dry land. Now, I guess there is no place on all Venus and there is a lot of land. , There may be fish or fish living, but it is still doubtful. Please think about it-a long and long day, no violent, no shade of sunlight, stable damp warmth, quiet, hardly moving waters, heavy Water. How much carbon dioxide is in the air..."
He stopped and walked to Lockhart's chart table to pick up paper. "Oberfield calculated the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is very heavy and free oxygen is very low. There is water vapor here, but the clouds keep it underneath; it does not appear in the outer atmosphere at all."
Li Huai said, "Here is a base to bask in the sun, and later added," I thought.
This station looked completely unlike other stations he had seen. There is indeed a circular wall station, but the wall is low and sloped outward. It stood at the end of a wide mudflat, and the veins near it were shiny, as if wet.
The internal machinery is a neat and compact crystal ball and lever. However, there is a lack of masts and luminous disks that characterize Mercury and the earth station. Instead, floating a mile on the water is a huge shiny bowl, like a huge dish shaking gently in a faint wave. Thin and flexible metal bright lines connect this surface layout to the workstation.
Lockhart announced: "Since there is no direct sun aiming, this station seems to be for a non-focused light steering system." "Wrecked crew please go!"
