Chapter 1833: Titan
Before, Zhao Zhongyao and the others got the amethyst gemstones, it can be said that they have experienced a lot of difficulties.
However, under the leadership of Zhao Zhongyao, everyone still worked hard to overcome these difficulties and finally got those amethyst gems.
Only this time Zhao Zhongyao and the others got the sixth amethyst gem, it must go smoothly, there is almost no difficulty.
Because that huge flying fish king turned out to be a ‘good guy’. It was someone who helped them get the sixth amethyst gem.
After Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei got the sixth amethyst gem, 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 yet found life on it. However, various signs indicate that Titan is likely to have some low-level microorganisms.
There are abundant organic compounds and nitrogen on Titan, similar to the environment in which early life on Earth formed. The cyanogens and hydrocarbons on Titan can generate nitriles under certain circumstances, which are then hydrolyzed by the water ice on the planet to generate carboxylic acids and amines, and these two can also generate significant amino acids.
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 been found, and the third is that Titan does not have a magnetic field protection, so when it sometimes moves outside the magnetosphere of Saturn, it is directly exposed to the solar wind, and radiation may cause life Cannot exist.
Scientists claim that the huge hydrocarbon "iceberg" lake on Saturn's moon Titan can form strange life forms. NASA researchers say that this latest theory may also explain the strange readings from the huge lake and ocean on the satellite
This new lake on the surface of Titan covers an area of 13,000 square miles (34,000 square kilometers). It is located at the south pole of Titan and has partial lake characteristics.
Since the "Cassini" probe arrived in the Saturn system in 2004, scientists have devoted themselves to studying the characteristics of methane lakes near the poles of Titan. The study confirmed that large, cold satellites also have methane rain.
Scientists point out that this new lake is only a shallow swamp, but observational data show that when a storm comes, the lake will form deep enough, rushing forward liquid methane.
Not long ago, Elizabeth Tuttle, a planetary scientist at the Applied Physics Laboratory of Johns Hopkins University in the United States, said:
The thunderstorm model on the surface of Titan shows that a single storm can form methane rainwater tens of centimeters deep.
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 for life in the solar system other than the earth. It is the only satellite in the solar system with a thick atmosphere. Unlike the Earth, the Earth’s atmosphere is mainly composed of nitrogen and oxygen, while Titan’s atmosphere is mainly composed of methane.
Moreover, the dense atmosphere reflects most of the light, causing the anti-greenhouse effect, making Titan's surface very cold, the temperature is only minus 180 degrees Celsius, there is no possibility of liquid water. But in 2005, two research teams of scientists suggested that alien microbes might live in the liquid hydrocarbons of Lake Titan.
Scientists said that acetylene formed in Titan's atmosphere and dropped to the surface of Titan. Alien microorganisms eat acetylene and chemically combine 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, no one knows the specific content of acetylene in Lake Titan because there is no detection spacecraft directly sampling it. In 1989, some scientists estimated that the content of acetylene in the hydrocarbon liquid in Lake Titan was only a few ten thousandths.
A team of scientists led by Daniel Caudill of the National Institute of Advanced Chemistry in Rennes, France, made a new calculation for the acetylene content of the Titan Lake. Based on data recently obtained by the Cassini-Huygens mission to explore the Saturn system, they made the latest estimate that Lake Titan contains more acetylene.
If there are aliens on Titan, the acetylene in the lake is enough to provide food for any hungry aliens. In 2005, the "Huygens" sub-detector carried by the Cassini landed on Titan filled with liquid methane.
"Huygens" was working on Titan for 24 hours, focusing on detecting possible signs of life on Titan.
In people's impression, Mars has always been an ideal place for the existence of extraterrestrial life and human immigration. However, as Titan's face was gradually revealed, this view gradually faded. Human studies have found that Titan is the Earth 4.5 billion years ago.
Titan has two characteristics that life favors, that is, 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 are Earth, Mars and Venus.
In some ways, Titan’s atmosphere is most like the Earth. Its atmosphere is mainly composed of nitrogen, and the pressure is slightly higher than that of the earth. There are even clouds on it, but the composition of these clouds is methane and other hydrocarbons, not water. Many space biologists are eager to study Titan's atmosphere as the prototype of the earth's atmosphere, hoping to discover how complex organic molecules were produced before life on earth appeared.
