Chapter 254： A planet crueler than hell

Halsey looked at the Venus in William's hand, thought for a moment, and said quietly:

"William, since this anomaly can appear on Venus, it means that it is at least Euclid's level."

"Hmm." William also agreed with Halsey's point of view.

After all, the surface environment of Venus is more cruel than hell.

Venus is called the "Venus" in China, while the Western world calls it Aphrodite or Venus, both the goddess of love and beauty.

Because in the eyes of people at the time, Venus was a mysterious planet and better than the earth's environment.

But this is not the case.

The country that has launched the most landing probes to Venus is the disbanded Soviet Union, and the former Soviet Union has lifted the veil of this ‘beautiful’ planet.

The fact is that it is not beautiful, but rather ‘ugly’.

If a human probe wants to enter Venus, it will suffer the following tests, such as:

sulfur dioxide, 350km/h hurricane, sulfuric acid fog, etc.

Even if it can finally land on the surface of Venus successfully, this man-made probe needs to withstand 92 standard atmospheres and an average high temperature environment of 480°.

The detector with the longest working time only lasted more than 100 minutes.

If just an astronaut wearing a normal spacesuit stands on the surface of Venus, he will be crushed instantly, let alone immigration and mining.

Therefore, when Umbrella began space colonization, the first thing he excluded was Venus, which was time-consuming and laborious without real benefits.

Except for the original probes orbiting Venus, the Umbrella Space Department and other organizations have not launched any aircraft to Venus. It is not worth it.

But there are abnormal phenomena on Venus now, which means that it has strong resistance to pressure and heat, at least Euclid, and maybe even Keter.

Then he operated the phone, turned off the holographic image of Venus, switched to Serena's figure, and ordered:

"Selena, the Zero Fleet continues to monitor the anomalous area. The Doctor and I will take the Phantom to rush to the universe where you are."

"Yes." Serena saluted William and cut off the communication.

Immediately afterwards, Halsey also said to William: "I will go upstairs and talk to the children."

"Well, go ahead." William nodded.

After the Sui Dynasty, Halsey quickly walked to the third floor, seeming to tell Ivan and Yelena to go to school and rest.

William also put on his leather shoes and left the villa to the manor, and ordered John and others who stayed at the manor to prepare their cars and go to Troy in the suburbs of Hafa.

Since William and Halsey temporarily returned to settle at home, the Phantom has also been parked in the sky above Troy, which can be regarded as a unique ‘landscape’.

...

Time: September 3, 2018.

Location: The universe near Venus.

There are 20 warships of the Zero Fleet, large and small, in a formation centered on the flagship Infinity, anchored near Venus at a distance of 0.25 ETM.

Inside the bridge of the Infinite.

Selena, equipped with a prosthetic body, sat in the position of the captain, her pupils emitting a slight blue light, dealing with various affairs of the fleet.

Next to the center console in the middle of the bridge is Halsey, who has changed her lab coat. She is watching what the screen is studying.

As for William in military uniform, standing behind the huge porthole with his hands behind his back, slightly lowered his head, looking at the ‘Venus’ not far away.

At this time, the position of the fleet is on the back of Venus, which is the area where the sun cannot directly shine.

There is a joke-like fact that a day on Venus is longer than a year, because the number of days of Venus’s rotation is slower than revolution.

The area where the abnormal phenomenon is now is located on the dark side of the back of Venus, and it is impossible to observe useful information with the naked eye.

Seeing this, William frowned slightly and turned to the center console.

Before William could ask questions, Halsey raised his head and said solemnly to him: "William, there is no way to detect anomalies in space.

And the clouds of Venus are too thick. Only by sending reconnaissance troops to take close-up shots can we know the true face of the anomaly. "

"..."

Upon hearing this, William did not immediately respond.

Because the area where the abnormal phenomenon is located is shielded by some kind of signal, once the reconnaissance plane enters the area, it will instantly lose the contact and support of the fleet.

Coupled with the harsh environment of Venus and the unknown anomalies, this investigation is an extremely dangerous mission.

"Apart from the option of sending troops, is there no other plan?" William tried to ask.

Seeing that Halsey was helpless, he shook his head slightly and said, "No, I have used various methods to probe, but there is no response.

As long as the drone enters the area affected by the abnormal phenomenon, it will immediately lose its signal, and only real people can obtain useful information.

I am instructing the engineers on the ship to transform a Pelican as soon as possible to resist the harsh environment of Venus. "

"This..." The word Chuan between William's eyebrows tightened again, and finally he could only vent and nod his head:

"Well, I will choose the right manpower to form a reconnaissance force. As for the Pelican, I will trouble you."

"Well, don't worry."

"it is good."

After the two had a brief conversation, William turned and walked outside the bridge to select soldiers for the reconnaissance mission.

...

a few hours later.

In the third area hangar of Infinity.

Ground crews are busy overhauling and preparing various carrier-based aircraft. Marines in CMC-powered armor are patrolling here and a specially modified Pelican is parked in a decompression In front of the gate of the cabin, the engineers accepted the final inspection.

The appearance of this Pelican is not much different from ordinary ones, but it is more ‘bloated’.

Through the opened tail hatch, you can see the cabin that originally carried the soldiers, with a lot of large-scale detection and technical equipment installed.

Not far from the rear hatch, two USSs wearing biochemical armors were also being debugged and inspected by technicians.

William stood in front of the two USSs and saluted them with a standard military salute, and said in a deep voice:

"Two people, because the abnormal phenomenon can shield the pattern detection and communication signals, we can only send you to Venus to find out."

The two also raised their hands and saluted: "Yes, boss."

The USS with the rank of Captain, after putting down his hands, said quietly and self-belief:

"Boss, according to the data provided by Dr. (Halsey), the shielding strength of this anomalous model is far inferior to that of Egypt.

Just go to Venus and take a look and come back. This is too simple for us, USS. "

"Hehe." Seeing that captain talked and laughed freely, William couldn't help but shook his head and smiled:

"It's good to be confident, and you two are the first human beings to enter the atmosphere of Venus in history."
