Mu Xinghai looked at the atomic clock next to him, counting down.
After all planning work is completed, it has entered early October 2068. Now, the countdown has started, and there are still 17 minutes left before the first space operation to drag Callisto.
In 17 minutes, Callisto will enter a position where the gravitational conflict between Jupiter and the sun is more obvious. In this position, Callisto will orbit for about one day (about 24 hours). The division of this area is the width of the line connecting the edge of Jupiter and the center of gravity of the sun. As long as Callisto's center of gravity enters this area, it's time for the master company to work.
The countdown sound is firm and even, moving forward bit by bit. Soon, it was within the 30-second countdown range. At this time, Mu Xinghai suddenly calmed down completely, as if things were going to the extreme. A kind of extreme calmness. In this state, coupled with the benefits after practicing, Mu Xinghai's computing power is more powerful than some ordinary large computers.
"Ding dong!" A pleasant voice sounded, and the countdown was over.
There was no need for Mu Xinghai to issue any orders. Under the absolute atomic clock measurement and automated software control, all the spacecraft were launched immediately. The total thrust of all spacecraft is about 1.35 billion tons of thrust, and these thrusts act on Callisto, and its external performance is-not moving at all!
Yes, at least to the naked eye, Callisto has not changed at all. It seems that all the spacecraft are violently erupting light blue flames. The carbonene ropes are pulled straight, and some of the ropes are in contact with the ground. , those permafrost soils were strangled to pieces.
However, the planet is a planet, and even so, there is no change at all - at least, that is how it appears to the eyes.
Just three minutes later, the water vapor ejected by the engine had enveloped half of Callisto. Make Callisto look like it's wearing a white hat. But that's all. Perhaps a hazy ice crystal fell from the sky above Callisto. It became the first precipitation on Callisto!
In fact, Callisto is 107.6 billion tons, and the thrust of 1.35 billion tons acts on it, which can only show an acceleration of 1.25 billionths; converted to the length of a year, it is: one year continuously Acceleration can only bring a 3 mm speed increase to Callisto!
Such a numerical ratio is really unimaginable. But that’s what space is like, it’s a great era; of course, after entering space, digital calculations also enter a “big era”!
If you really want to rely entirely on the expert company's own strength. It takes ten thousand years to achieve the goal. However, don't forget that there is a natural strongman in the space where the earth is - the sun! To be exact, it’s the gravity of the sun!
The current actions of Gaoshou Company are like an introduction - a spark. And behind. Under the influence of the sun's gravity, this attraction will be magnified hundreds of millions of times.
Originally, the sun is a balanced system; but sometimes there is some balance, but it is very fragile. For example, a balance will be uneven if a little external force is applied! Balance and imbalance. There are two states, but the change may be caused by just a hair!
And similarly, the current situation also applies here. Originally, there was already a balance between the sun, Jupiter, and Callisto. But now. The behavior of the master company is to break this balance! Then with a little bit of effort, this disrupted balance tilted more and more seriously, eventually causing Callisto to leave Jupiter's gravity and form a planet orbiting the sun - Callisto with a diameter of about 4,800 kilometers. It already meets the standards defined by scientists for planets.
The engine roared, and the spacecraft also trembled under the huge force. In the sky, the straight carbon fiber fibers continued to tremble. The solid permafrost on the surface of Callisto is constantly cracking under such force, and in some places, the rope has been stretched into a depth of more than ten meters.
After a day of hard work, there is almost no achievement; but for a master company, it is already very good. Moreover, such a result is also planned. It would be weird if it just pushed away. In fact, over the course of a day, Callisto's original balance has been broken, and now it has entered a dynamic that is beginning to change slightly.
A wonderful scene like dragging a satellite, of course, is indispensable for the audience. In addition, many expedition teams took some time to film the scenes here and put them on the Internet. Half a day later, these videos, etc., had been uploaded to the global Internet.
This once again set off a frenzy of admiration for the master company in the newly unified world. While he was still working hard to build a house, the Master Company had already begun to frantically transform Venus in Venus.
But more expedition teams are performing missions - in just one day, the master company's spaceship team can be consumed by half. For this reason, Gaoshou Company has to issue a large number of tasks for transporting energy batteries. What provides energy for the spacecraft is an extra-large physical battery ten meters long. Each battery can carry up to 500 million degrees of energy.
Due to technical reasons, cost, human resources, etc., Gaoshou Company is unable to build a huge photovoltaic cell base near Jupiter. As for the establishment of a space nuclear power plant, this advanced technology is still in the research department of Gaoshou Company. In space, the most abundant energy is the resources required for nuclear fusion. Many planets have abundant helium and hydrogen, especially helium 3 and hydrogen 2. However, nuclear fusion technology has only just perfected the theory now. As for building a space nuclear power plant, it is estimated that such technology will be available in ten years.
In short, now, all the energy needed by the Master Company to drag Ganymede and Callisto needs to be transported from near the earth. This requires a lot of spacecraft and a lot of manpower.
Not to mention, those working in space also need all kinds of food, mechanical spare parts, etc. The working media of the engine, hydrogen and oxygen, can be obtained by electrolysis of water, which can be easily obtained on the satellites of Jupiter. But the rest can only be provided by the earth.
In space, due to the actions of the master company, running has also entered a relatively busy stage. Thousands of spacecraft shuttle back and forth in space, transporting large amounts of energy and materials for the Master Company; and then sending exhausted batteries back to outer space for recharging.
Similarly, there are a large number of small adventure teams that have just entered space and entered the asteroid belt to search for various ores. Every day we can see fruitful spacecraft returning to Earth, dragging behind them "mountains" of various sizes. In the current space environment, gold ore has a diameter of less than 50 meters, and it is almost impossible to make money. In just a few years, competition in space has become increasingly fierce. Of course, if they are too small, you can drag several at once - but the asteroid belt is much empty now.
Especially recently, with the unification of the world, GaoShou Company has to react. Now it is all China, and many wealthy foreigners have begun to buy GaoShou Company's spaceships. Although it will still be more expensive, you can still buy it. Under such circumstances, competition in space, especially in near space, has become extremely fierce.
There are advertisements that say this: As long as you have 20 million, you can go into space and make money; it takes two years to repay the loan and three years to repay the principal and five years to make a fortune! Not to mention, this is the current space age. This is a vast market with endless potential. Compared with the limited earth, space is really too big!
With the liberation of the world, a large amount of capital began to be imported into space; with the support of such power, the development and prosperity of space became faster and faster. And soon, at the end of the year, the country has begun to work on the space factory plan - Master Company, please don't be so rampant...
At the same time, the master company fleet that is struggling on Jupiter is still busy. Every seventeen or eight days, you have to work hard for one day, and during normal time, you have to continue exploring, exercising, and learning. And the Monthly Expert Company can even add two Titan 2 spaceships. The accumulation of the company over the years has begun to enter a period of explosive growth.
Every day on the ground, expert companies are recruiting; internally, a large number of inspected personnel begin to enter the core level, are awarded the skills, and then enter space - and finally after training, they begin to fight for Ganymede and Callisto. One month, two months... time passed quietly. In the blink of an eye, May 2069 came. After such a long period of struggle, the most critical moment has finally come! Callisto will completely separate from Jupiter today and be upgraded from a satellite to a planet!
