Li Canglan's counterattack was not unreasonable, but hit the mark. But this made the old professor unacceptable for a while. The mecha that he had devoted almost his whole life to was now regarded as an expensive toy. This was unacceptable to any scientist. But it has to be said that what Li Canglan proposed is the truth - at least that is the current situation!
Zhang Jingyuan was also frowning and thinking. Yes, although Li Canglan's analysis is a bit extreme, it is still essentially correct. The current mechas are really useless! This is an expensive toy!
"Boy, you're lying! How could such an advanced machine have no use!" The old professor was instantly furious. Li Canglan's analysis ruthlessly shattered the old professor's life-long efforts into pieces, and his dream was shattered in an instant.
Seeing the old professor's crazy expression, Li Canglan finally came to his senses. It seemed that he had gone too far. Although the old professor had some pranks before, it was originally agreed that it was for testing and inspection, and Li Canglan was the first to experience the benefits of the mecha, so it seemed understandable that he had to pay for it; and there was no actual harm. But for the old professor, his life has been cut short. This mecha, the master and pinnacle representative of contemporary technology, is the soul of the old professor's life.
Therefore, Li Canglan's "seeking truth from facts" statement really hurt the old professor's heart! Moreover, it broke into eight pieces!
Fortunately, Li Canglan is no longer a child who knows nothing. "Professor Xiang, I was just joking. In fact, the current concept of mechas is very good, which is to expand people's abilities. There are actually many such mechas For example, it can be used as a spearhead and a weapon. Armored vehicles and tanks are like little dung beetles in front of him.
Mecha is the pinnacle product of technology, so its application method must also need to be re-researched, and cannot be viewed from a traditional perspective. After all, the traditional perspective can no longer keep up with the development of the times!
For example, some complex terrains, mountains and ice fields, etc. are restricted areas for conventional armed forces, and even aircraft cannot effectively attack them. This time. Mechas are the absolute elite! ”
"Okay!" Professor Xiang Yundong suddenly looked disgusted. "Captain Li, thank you for your opinion. In fact, it seems now that the mecha is really an expensive toy. The master company has already had a variety of space-based weapons to deal with the terrain you just mentioned. No. What military facilities can defend against continuous attacks from space!
Maybe. The biggest use of mechas right now. Just for planetary exploration.
But..." The old professor suddenly became more motivated, "I believe that in the future, there will be space. There will definitely be a place for mechas!
Don’t forget, the concept of mecha is completely different from the traditional concept. The traditional concept is that machines can replace people! The concept of mecha is: amplify people's abilities! Now, according to my opinion, the future must be based on humanities, which means that the traditional concept of mechanical development will inevitably be challenged, and the concept of mecha will penetrate into all aspects.
Finally, I want to say, who stipulates that mechas must be in the shape of a human! As long as it can satisfy the concept of "amplifying human abilities", it should be called a mecha. Even if it looks like an airplane or a spaceship! ”
"Bah bang bang..." More than 3,000 people applauded collectively. The old professor's words were so wonderful. The concept of mecha and the vision of mecha made everyone seem to see that a glorious era is coming, which is the machine age. The pinnacle - the mecha era!
Time passed quietly. More than two months had passed since the last mecha problem, and it was already early June. Although mechas have various problems, as new concepts are put forward and there are hopes for a better future, the old professor is still confident in developing newer mechas. Just based on data analysis, if the mecha can be compressed to less than 10 meters, it will initially have practical value; if it can be compressed to less than 3 meters, forming a human exoskeleton, the value will increase infinitely! However, if you want to compress a 27-meter behemoth to 3 meters while maintaining basic capabilities, you must use nanomaterial technology! But with this kind of technology, if you want to create such a machine, even the current technical reserves are enough to make Zhang Jingyuan scream in pain - it's not that it's impossible to hit, but it's immature.
But on June 12, the world's attention once again focused on Venus. In fact, in the past year, the whole world has been paying attention to Venus: the solar system is a precise whole, and one move affects the whole body. In addition, as Ceres gradually approaches Venus, some wonderful changes gradually occur.
Today, the distance between Ceres and Venus is only 170,000 kilometers, which is too close for satellites. At such a distance, at least 30% of the water vapor emitted by Ceres is absorbed by Venus. Over time, Venus has completely changed its color! The golden planet in space has disappeared, and now Venus is full of dark clouds. The current Venus should be called the "dark cloud star"!
A large amount of water vapor filled it, making Venus enjoy unprecedented moisture. Countless sulfur oxides combine with water vapor to form irregular dark clouds one after another, covering Venus at an altitude of about 20 kilometers. Over time, 90% of the sky on Venus is now covered by dark clouds, and the remaining positions are also covered by dark clouds. The white clouds are thick, and this also causes the temperature on the surface of Venus to drop sharply. Now the average temperature has dropped to about 420 degrees!
What, you said the decrease from 467 degrees to 420 degrees is very slow? No, it's already very fast. You have to see that the entire planet is cooling. It is said that it took more than four to five billion years for the earth to cool from a lava state to a solid rock planet!
Under the irradiation of the sun, Ceres still exudes "vigor", and more than 40% of the water vapor has evaporated and been wasted in space. The cloud circle surrounding the sun still exists, and there is not even any obvious change. In two years, Ceres, which erupts a large amount of water vapor, has almost circled more than twice (a year on Venus is 224.7 Earth days, so Ceres has circled the sun more than twice in two years on Earth), and the hazy water vapor spread. to a range of millions of kilometers. This has even resulted in a one-thousandth reduction in sunlight received on Earth.
Large amounts of clouds and fog still surround Ceres and Venus. But that’s not what everyone is paying attention to today!
Instead, the collision between heaven and earth that everyone has been waiting for!
As the distance gradually approached, three days later, the balance was finally broken. During the rotation of Ceres, it suddenly accelerated, and under the influence of Venus' gravity, it crashed into Venus!
This is a real collision between heaven and earth!
In an instant, a violent shock wave erupted from Venus, and the massive atmosphere was washed away. Venus seemed to turn into a large cosmic bomb in an instant, with countless debris, dust, and countless gases, so violently spread into space. Circle after circle... like water patterns. However, that is the shock wave formed by diffused gas, dust, water vapor, etc. in space!
And this is far from over. On the surface of Venus, the earth began to wrinkle, and huge waves made the crust on the surface of Venus, which was not originally hard, rise and fall like silk. Earthquakes, or more precisely, ground fissures, lava, and volcanoes came and went one after another; huge ripples kept coming from Venus. It broke out, wave after wave...
In just a few minutes, lava and broken crust formed a second wave, starting from the impact location and spreading in all directions. The first wave of shock waves on the ground has not yet passed through the average planet, the second wave has already passed through one-third of the planet's surface, and the following third and fourth waves have already erupted. Wave after wave, the surface of Venus completely melted, and the lava, like ocean waves, rolled forward. The height of the largest "wave" was more than 9,000 meters, which clearly exceeded the altitude of Mount Everest!
A wave of waves rolled forward continuously; then as the planet's arc shrank, the energy became more concentrated, and the wave crest once exceeded tens of thousands of meters; then all the shock waves overlapped behind the Venus impact, and violent energy suddenly exploded, with massive amounts of The lava and earth's crust were erupted into space. It is estimated that at least 200 million tons of rock were ejected from Venus at this time. As the shock waves continue to gather, one after another, Venus continuously erupts massive amounts of lava. According to subsequent statistics, a total of 1.5 billion tons of material was ejected into space.
After about an hour, the location of the impact began to change. Ice, rock, and magma were mixed together and violently ejected into the surrounding space. Some fragments even rushed out of space, and then formed a small new asteroid belt between the Earth and Venus. None of these fragments are larger than one meter in size. Most of them are fragments, several centimeters in size.
After such an impact, a large amount of ice on Ceres was scattered on the hemisphere centered on the impact location of Venus. When lava and ice met, water mist quickly erupted, covering half of Venus, and then spread rapidly. The atmosphere that had just become much thinner due to the impact suddenly became thicker than the original atmosphere of Venus due to the increase in water vapor. Venus was immediately covered with dark clouds again.
At this moment, Venus is still not calm; strong shock waves are constantly oscillating in the atmosphere. Occasionally, you can see violent eruptions of volcanoes, and from time to time, billowing smoke even breaks through the thick atmosphere and explodes into space to express your presence. This collision is basically in line with the promotional video released by the master company. For example, the impact force was just right, not only almost clearing away Venus' toxic atmosphere, but it also did not cause Venus to disintegrate. There is also Ceres, almost 90% of its weight fell on Venus. The remainder is water vapor that has evaporated. The mass lost by Venus due to the impact is less than one ten millionth of Ceres. Ceres fell to Venus, directly increasing the mass of Venus by 0.4 thousandths. With about 2,500 more Ceres added, Venus would have the same mass as the Earth! (To be continued...)
