As soon as he climbed onto the telescope, President White was startled; he saw that half of his field of vision was cloudy and generally dark, and only in a small area around him could he see the dark background of the space with twinkling stars.
Due to the current relative positions between the Earth and Venus, the current distance between Ceres and Venus is also very close - at least in the context of space, the two planets are almost right next to each other, with only three or five planets in between. , and at this moment, only a small half of Ceres can be seen, and the other part is hidden in the darkness and cannot be seen with an optical telescope.
But even this half of Ceres now feels like clouds and fog; strong sunlight shines directly on the surface, and a large amount of water vapor rises. According to data released by the master company, an atmosphere of about 3 kilometers is now formed on the surface of Ceres. , but this atmosphere is extremely unstable, constantly evaporating, and then being replenished by water vapor that continuously sublimates or evaporates from the ice layer. Not to mention that this atmosphere is very thin, and it is almost 100% composed of water vapor.
And outer space is very cold, about two hundred degrees below zero, and the evaporated water vapor quickly condenses into huge ice crystals, which then reflect the beautiful glow in space. Seen from the outer space of the Earth, the long track of water vapor and ice crystals that circle around the sun exudes magnificent light on both sides, and in the middle is a faint white color, forming a colorful ribbon that decorates the entire solar system.
Through advanced high-power optical telescopes, you can even see a large number of "ice volcanoes" erupting on the surface of Ceres. Individual ice volcanoes are even ten kilometers high. It is for this reason that Ceres, which has a diameter of 960 kilometers, leaves behind a track that is 100,000 kilometers wide. certainly. Where it started, it has spread to millions of kilometers and is about to dissipate.
"Human beings have always wanted to mark the trajectory of every planet in space. Now, Ceres has accomplished this feat!" Zhou Feixuan was laughing next to Zhang Jingyuan.
"This feat consumed about 30% of the water on Ceres. This is a huge loss!" Zhang Jingyuan frowned. Only in space will you know how precious water is.
"Water? Aren't you already preparing to attack Jupiter's satellites? As far as I know, Europa is an ice ball. Its water content is many times more than that of the earth. It is enough to transform Venus." Zhou Feixuan said as she spoke , while looking at the President of the United States next to him. Obviously, this sentence was not said to Zhang Jingyuan, but actually to the President of the United States!
"Isn't that too far?" Zhang Jingyuan smiled bitterly. But he also observed the President of the United States from the corner of his eye.
However, the President of the United States is "fascinated" by the telescope!
Zhang Jingyuan and Zhou Feixuan looked at each other. Although there is no preview in advance. But after so many years. An indescribable tacit understanding has been formed between everyone; after Zhou Feixuan opened her mouth, Zhang Jingyuan took it naturally, and then the two performed a double act. Actually both saw it. The President of the United States' shoulders were shaking slightly.
The goal was achieved, and Zhang Jingyuan began to concentrate on observing the changes between Ceres and Venus. As mentioned before, such a spectacular sight is rare to see in thousands of years. What's more important is that this was actually planned by the master company! As the head of the master company, Zhang Jingyuan certainly wanted to see the outcome.
The two planets are advancing rapidly in space, but obviously, Venus is faster and Ceres is a little slower; the distance between the two is slowly shrinking. In fact, the distance between the two planets looks very close, but in fact the distance is still very far; that is just an observation illusion, an illusion of human eyes and the confusion of the background of space.
The current distance between the two planets is still hundreds of thousands of kilometers; but at the current speed gap, the gap is shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye; most importantly, at this distance, Ceres has actually entered the gravitational field of Venus. , Ceres’ forward speed is slowly decreasing and it is falling towards Venus!
At this time, the President of the United States suddenly turned around and said, "Mr. Zhang, I remember that your company said that Ceres would not hit Venus until three years. Why did it only happen in two years?"
"Haha, thank you for your attention, Mr. White. Please forgive my confidentiality. You will understand it later." Zhang Jingyuan did not answer, but smiled mysteriously. However, this only aroused the curiosity of the President of the United States. In fact, Ceres will pass by Venus this time, and then be captured by Venus's gravity field and become a satellite of Venus. In the next long period of about a year, it will gradually approach Venus under the gravity of Venus, and finally merge. For one. During the whole process, in addition to the speed of Ceres itself, there is another very important reason, that is, the atmosphere of Venus is too thick; Ceres is still emitting a large amount of water vapor and will continue to be attracted to Venus. Finally, under the action of such atmospheric friction, Ceres' speed will gradually decrease, and then it will be slowly pulled to Venus by Venus' gravity.
Therefore, Ceres will hit Venus three years later, which has not changed; but it does not mean that we will not meet now. It's the same as going on a blind date, there has to be a familiar process.
Gradually, Ceres underwent significant changes. Ceres' tail gas began to deflect, and then was absorbed by Venus, gradually spreading to the entire planet. For a moment, the red Venus was covered with gauze, like a dream.
"So beautiful!" Zhang Ting's small voice was already exclamating.
"Oops, Ceres is starting to deform, and the water vapor outside is being absorbed!" The spectacle became more and more obvious. Ceres' tail was almost completely cut off by Venus. A large amount of water vapor was attracted by Venus, so that Ceres' tail became noticeably thinner. Instead, there seems to be a long bridge of hazy water vapor between Ceres and Venus.
Close! The distance between the two planets is getting closer and closer! At this moment, even the President of the United States has begun to exclaim in exclamation. It is undeniable that the master company has created miracles! Who dares to imagine that an immigration base can be built like this and completed by using planetary impact.
As water vapor increases, large clouds and fog appear over Venus. Massive amounts of sulfur oxide begins to turn into sulfuric acid, forming an airtight cloud layer and a large black mass, gradually covering the surface of Venus.
"The distance between the two planets is only 70,000 kilometers. Under the strong gravity of Venus, a large number of cracks have begun to appear on the surface of Ceres..." In space, there are naturally adventure teams following and reporting. In two years, the idea of adventure has been deeply rooted in people's hearts, and everyone is proud of taking risks. The strategy of Master Company and China has achieved remarkable results.
"Ceres begins to slow down and is being chased by Venus. However, due to the orbit gap, Ceres will not collide with Venus, and the two sides will pass by each other. Then Ceres will be captured by Venus' gravity, and eventually form an unstable planet. "(To be continued...)
