There are about 2,500 more planets like Ceres, or equivalent masses! ! !
Everyone felt incredible when they heard the news. It was only then that everyone suddenly discovered that the earth is actually very big! Ceres is not small anymore, but tens of thousands of Ceres tied together would equal the mass of the Earth.
However, it is relatively easy to find objects with a mass of 2,500 Ceres in the solar system. Adding up all the asteroids above 500 meters in the asteroid belt, the mass of more than twenty Ceres can be pieced together.
In addition to here, there are also satellite groups on Jupiter. As long as the satellite group here on Jupiter is adjusted, the requirements will definitely be met, and Venus can even overtake the earth.
However, it is not easy to drag Jupiter's satellites. This requires overcoming Jupiter's strong gravity. The largest planet is not blown out. And on top of that, you have to venture deep into Jupiter's powerful magnetic field. Jupiter's strong magnetic field is another challenge to technology. The largest ordered magnetic field in the solar system is an absolute monster. The range of its magnetic field even exceeds the range of Saturn's orbit!
A week has passed since the impact, but there is still violence on Venus. Volcanoes and earthquakes! And sulfuric acid rain! A large amount of water evaporates on the ground where the average temperature exceeds 400 degrees, and then enters the atmosphere and cools down, forming sulfuric acid rain. The intense sulfuric acid rain reacts with the remaining carbonates, causing more carbon dioxide to fill the atmosphere. The atmosphere of Venus is still not optimistic.
But it doesn't matter, this collision. At least the inherently toxic atmosphere of Venus has been reduced by half. If this happens a few more times, the atmosphere of Venus will be suitable for chemical transformation.
While everyone is watching Venus, Master Company has begun to adjust its sights and look for new goals!
In the asteroid belt, Ceres is undoubtedly the largest celestial body and can even be called a planet. In addition, there are at least 200 asteroids over 100 kilometers in the asteroid belt; there are at least seven to eight thousand asteroids over 500 meters! All of this adds up to a very impressive quality.
"We cover all these asteroids!" Li Canglan was full of pride. After now officially taking charge of the expedition team. Li Canglan is making progress every day and is full of energy.
"That's fine. But when you drag each asteroid, you need to strictly follow the numbers given by the company. Don't let those private adventure groups interfere. It's okay for them to destroy it. But if you do this, I guess it will be better. Somewhat difficult. "Project Venus." Long Xingwang is responsible for everything. Now in order to find "resources", Long Xingwang has set his sights on Jupiter's four largest satellites. these four satellites. The combined mass is close to half the size of the Earth.
"If we want to drag Jupiter's satellites, our current technology is still not enough." As a comprehensive department of space research, Zhong Yuanxing expressed his opinion, "First of all, these satellites are too big and they are too heavy. Let alone Said, there is also the strong gravity of Jupiter. According to our current technology. It requires at least ten years of energy storage technology and energy reserves. The current space construction has expanded more than ten times before it can be qualified to drag Europa, the smallest satellite. Of course, this is what we value most, because it is a satellite. A planet composed almost entirely of ice
And this is just a qualification, it is almost similar to the moon. According to calculations, we need at least 30 Giant spacecraft to be eligible to challenge; and this does not include resisting Jupiter's gravity. If Jupiter's gravity is taken into account, we would need about 50 Titan spacecraft. ”
"At the current production speed, if we sprint at full speed, we will produce 46 Titans. How long will it take?" Long Xingwang frowned. The plan to transform the planet has actually far exceeded the current level of technology. And if it still persists, the master company will have to pay a huge price.
Li Guoyi barely paused, "According to the current technical situation, all three of our space factories combined can produce a Titan in about a month. But the premise is that there is sufficient material. In fact, unfortunately, our current steel is only Enough for the construction of 20 spaceships
To satisfy the remaining 26 spaceships, it will take about two years based on the resource development of the moon.
But on the other hand, there is good news to tell everyone. The Die Hard III engine with a thrust of 12,000 tons has been successfully developed. With such a giant, our space process will be accelerated a lot. ”
"Oh?" Long Xingwang raised his head. Although he was close to the 50-year-old mark, he looked less than 30 years old because of his spiritual practice. "This is really good news. The company's recent development speed is quite fast. It is said that the ground Mecha testing has been completed.”
For a moment, everyone looked at Li Canglan next to them.
"It's all accumulated over time!" Li Canglan's mouth twitched. Look at what I'm doing! Look at what I'm doing!
Long Xingwang closed his eyes and thought for a while, "Captain Li, I have this idea. The asteroid belt is rich in resources. We can obtain enough metal resources from the small belt. Now, the metals that can be used to build spaceships are mainly It's steel, followed by titanium. At present, titanium's performance is better than steel, but its reserves are too small.
Captain Li, look at this. You launch all your adventure groups to search for ores in the asteroid belt. We charge based on the calculated amount of iron. It is charged at 8,000 yuan per ton.
Our goal is to drag two or three of Jupiter's moons, which will basically complete the need to change Venus. ”
"Okay!" Li Canglan did not object. This plan should be considered reasonable. Use close-range resources to complete mechanized construction as quickly as possible; then use more large machines to drag Jupiter's moons. It seems that it is much more efficient than the previous plan.
"Wait, I have another idea." Li Guoyi burst out at this moment, and some old scientists with gray hair also came out to make their presence felt. "I suggest building a few Titans first, and use these Titans to directly go to the asteroid belt. Drag large asteroids. In fact, most of these asteroids have considerable mineral resources.
In particular, Vesta, which has a diameter of about 500 kilometers, is almost half made of iron. If we can drag Vesta over, we will no longer have to worry about steel for at least the next ten years.
It is estimated that Vesta has at least 1,500 trillion tons of steel resources. There are also ample copper, gold, silver and other minerals.
Perhaps among the small belts, it is second only to Ceres in terms of quality, but its resource content far exceeds Ceres. It is a natural treasure that cannot be missed in space development! ”
"If you want to drag Vesta to the vicinity of the Earth and stabilize it for mining, the workload is many times greater than dragging Ceres!" Long Xingwang came up with a rough result without any calculation. Li Guoyi: "So, we need to build more Titans. And for at least ten years, the Titans will be the most beneficial and only efficient tool for us to transform space construction!" (To be continued...)
