When Mu Xinghai returned to outer space with all the spaceships, it was already early June 2070. Callisto has passed the sun and is heading towards Venus at a speed of up to 22 kilometers per second.
As it moves away from the sun, the speed of Callisto gradually decreases, but according to the data released by the expert company, this is all within the calculation, and when it reaches the orbit of Venus, it will just collide with Venus. It is the collision where the center of gravity of Callisto coincides with the surface of the back end of Venus. Accurate calculations allowed the error of this impact, which spanned more than a billion kilometers, to be within one tenth of a millimeter. Moreover, Venus will begin to rotate from west to east!
Seeing that there were only a dozen days left, Mu Xinghai and others actually asked to wait in space. Anyway, I have been out for two years, and I don’t care about the remaining ten days. Especially since this miracle was done by myself, there is no reason not to take a closer look. What a spectacle it is when planets collide! Ceres was once too small; but this time Callisto is big enough! Maybe there will be unimaginable wonders!
As the time of impact approaches, more and more people are entering space. At the newly opened Vesta amusement park in space, millions of people flooded into it in just a few days, causing the life support system to be in a state of emergency. Who could have imagined that in just a dozen years, human space development has reached such an extent; space construction cannot keep up with human needs for space activities. But space construction is not a game, the cost is too high! This is the case even now with the help of resources from the moon and asteroid belt.
After years of construction, the Vesta Amusement Park, planned by Oriental Entertainment Corporation and built by Master Company, has officially opened. The first planet completely transformed by human beings has finally appeared - although this planet has just become a little spherical!
Enter the Vesta Playground now. It will take about half a month after Callisto collides with Venus. During this period, the minimum consumption is 2 million! But even so, there is an influx of millions of people. Here it is. Throw a stone at random, and the person you hit might be a billionaire. Especially for some wealthy people abroad, China's space was once not open to them; but now that everyone belongs to the same country, many people have almost tightened their belts to enter space. certainly. More are still rich. Once you have money, you will have other pursuits.
On the back side of Vesta (the reformed area relative to the groove), there are tens of thousands of astronomical observatories, and demand here now exceeds supply. If you want to observe Venus, you can't rely on the naked eye! That's at least 40 million kilometers away.
In addition, there are four space bases in space. The original four restored space bases were already home to hundreds of thousands of people, and now more than 300,000 people have poured in again, which also affects the life support system. The limit was reached and population entry and exit had to be restricted.
In just a few days. The number of people pouring into space exceeded 2 million, which put the developing space facilities, especially the life-support systems, in a hurry. Many spacecrafts were filled with people. There are also several major group companies in China that have had to announce the suspension of space transportation several times.
The reason why it is so popular. In addition to the impact of Callisto on Venus, there is also the fact that the expert company announced that this impact imitated the state that according to scientists' research may be very similar to the state in which the earth was hit and the moon was created - of course, this is a theory on. But according to the investigation. There are other reasons. On the one hand, these other reasons are the yearning for technology, and the master company's madness to transform Venus and the plan to found a nation on Venus all give people a strange expectation. Someone has already left a message on the official website of Gaoshou Company - Will I be able to immigrate freely in the future?
In fact, some people are already discussing it in the online environment. In the future, after the establishment of the nation of Venus, what kind of state will the Master Company be in, and what will be its relationship with the current China and the Chinese nation. Of course, it's still early to discuss this.
While there was a commotion outside, Gaoshou Company did not relax. Instead, it entered a state of emergency. Once the impact fails, we have to see whether it will affect the earth. Although. The simulations have been calculated tens of thousands of times and are 100% successful; however, space is too complex, and no one knows whether there are some phenomena that humans have not observed that affect the final results. For example, the legendary dark matter, the remnants of the supernova explosion that the sun is entering, the strange influence of space itself, etc.
In addition, Callisto is so big that it is about 70 times larger than Ceres. Such a huge force directly hits Venus. If the design angle is slightly different, Venus may be smashed!
Yes, this is no joke, space impact is a real act of violence, and it cannot be stopped. Once the impact force exceeds Venus's bearing capacity and Venus's own gravity cannot bind the debris, it will be possible to create a new asteroid belt. If so, that would be troublesome!
Before anything happens, everything is full of possibilities. Once danger occurs, the company will do its best to save it. In space, all spaceships, space bases, and moon bases are ready, and a large number of rail guns are ready.
Whether it is the ground center of the master company, the space center, or even the national aerospace center, calculations are being performed. This is a matter for all mankind. Expert companies have to make all data public in order to accept the supervision of the world. In fact, it is also the expert companies that use the power of the world and the country to serve themselves.
Of course, the data disclosed by the master company is even more priceless. If the whole world hadn't been unified now, it wouldn't have been made public like that anyway. Those data are just an alternative starry sky map of the solar system! Or should I say it is a star map, a pure data star map that only scientists and military strategists can understand.
Callisto's weak gravity cannot trap water vapor on its surface that is evaporated by the sun's high temperature. However, there is still gravity after all, leaving behind a dense layer of clouds and mist about ten kilometers thick. From a distance, Callisto now looks like a space-grade marshmallow, dragging a long fluffy tail. Perhaps, for Venus, this is a tasty treat!
Venus is still advancing "slowly" according to its established orbit. Perhaps the speed of more than 30 kilometers per second is very fast, but in the size of space, it is really very slow. And Callisto is even slower. But now, the distance between the two planets is very close, and gravity starts to work slightly. The originally somewhat straight angle of movement between the two parties began to turn together, preparing to cross.
The master company has started a public countdown, starting from 24 hours. Some people are ready to stick to their posts 24 hours or even 48 hours a day - the telescope. There are no large high-definition telescopes. You can only watch public live videos. Or someone uses a cheaper simple optical telescope.
Venus is now quite far away from the Earth, at least 100 million kilometers away. Without the aid of a radio telescope, if you rely solely on an optical telescope, you can only see two simple "glass beads" colliding, which is really not very interesting.
In scientific research, not only radio telescopes are used, but also various ray telescopes, and further, satellite exploration is also required. Today's satellites are very low cost. Mainly, launch vehicles are no longer used. Send it directly to space by plane and release it on the spot. So much so that the number of satellites in outer space of Venus now exceeds the number of satellites in outer space of the Earth (only quantity, not quality).
Under the attention of everyone, the two planets are getting closer and closer...
Until it reaches a certain distance, under the huge gravity. The orbits of the two planets suddenly changed! Venus begins to tilt toward the interior of the sun, and Callisto begins to accelerate! Then just two hours later, Callisto crashed into the back end of Venus (the front end in the direction of its orbit around the sun). A thrilling collision occurred!
Under the on-site satellite photography, half of Venus was suddenly shattered, just like half of an egg cracked by a heavy blow. Lava and debris violently hit the rear.
And Callisto is even more fragile. After all, this was once an ice ball of dust and water, plus vibrations caused by dragging and melting caused by sunlight. The planet is not particularly solid. At this moment, Callisto is almost completely broken, and only an outermost fragment of about 700 to 800 kilometers has been preserved.
Half of Venus suddenly shrank before it could shrink, and the satellite captured precious photos of the interior of the planet! Many people have wanted to explore the interior of the earth, to see what the structure is like inside the earth, whether there really is an underground world, and whether there is really a liquid or solid core. But today. Everyone saw the internal structure of Venus. At the moment of impact, half of Venus's crust was blown away, revealing an unknown inner world.
In the past, scientists spent too much money to study the internal structure of the earth. Some people even suggested drilling holes downwards. It is said that in order to explore the geology, holes were drilled to a depth of about 11 kilometers. But the crust is at least thirty kilometers thick, and even the mantle is inaccessible at a depth of 11 kilometers. We can only rely on hard thinking, surface exploration, theoretical derivation, etc. to deduce the internal environment of the earth. But today, Gaoshou Company has unveiled the mystery for these scientists! No, it’s the planet’s skull!
Today's Venus is like an egg torn in the middle. For the first time, scientists have the opportunity to observe a planet so intuitively!
There are dark clouds on the edge - yes, this is the atmosphere, the atmosphere at an altitude of nearly 300 kilometers. Then there is a layer of mottled dark red and gray crust, about ten kilometers thick. The reason why the crust of Venus is mottled is because there are many places covered with volcanic lava; the ten-kilometer-thick crust is far smaller than the Earth's crust, so volcanoes are flooding on the surface of Venus, and any earthquake may break through the lava. After all, Venus is just a huge hot pot right now.
Looking into the interior/center, there are dark red to bright red structures, all of which are lava; and at the very center, there is a red-white core with a hint of golden color, which is a liquid core with a temperature of over 3,000 degrees; The radius/thickness of this piece is about 5000 kilometers. The very center point is actually black! Yes, it's black! With a hint of purple. This is of course not because there is anything special here, but because the temperature here is too high and the radiation ripples emitted are too short, so much so that they exceed the wavelength band that the human eye can distinguish - that is, the legendary ultraviolet rays (please refer to sunspots, the temperature of sunspots In fact, it is higher than other bright white places). The temperature here is as high as over 5,000 degrees! Moreover, under the huge pressure of the earth's crust, it can be seen that this place is solid. The solid core has a diameter of about 1000 kilometers/a radius of 500 kilometers; and between the solid core and the lava, there is a circle of golden, purple, and black slurry—— The temperature here is about 4000 degrees, and it has a semi-solid shape because of the huge pressure; but because the pressure has not reached the limit, it has not become a solid, and the thickness is about 500 kilometers. There is no clear line between lava (liquid), semi-solid, and solid core. In fact, it is a natural excess.
Such a scene is just a sudden appearance, and then it is covered up by the overwhelming - really overwhelming rather than exaggerated debris, water vapor, etc. The core is just a blip, then covered in lava.
In just a few minutes. Venus and Callisto are almost shattered, with large and small fragments covering a radius of 100,000 kilometers, and they are still expanding. Some small fragments even rushed out of the gravitational range and rushed into space. Then, the small man-made meteorite belt between the Earth and Venus became more abundant again.
But more of them are bound by gravity. The calculations made by the expert company are not wrong! At this moment, all the technical staff of the master company. They all breathed a sigh of relief.
Magma, ice, debris, and water vapor cover one hundred thousand kilometers of space. The huge fragments and the remaining half of the lava-rolling Venus began to collapse under the influence of gravity.
At the same time, the huge energy carried by the two planets began to explode after the collision. The two planets have huge masses and speeds of tens of kilometers per second. It is an external manifestation of huge energy that exceeds imagination. The energy released by the collision alone is not enough to digest all the energy. The remaining energy is released through temperature! And of course, speed!
Within a radius of 100,000 kilometers, in just a few minutes, the blasted ice began to melt and evaporate, and then the rocks began to melt. This process is not very fast, but it is very determined.
Broken half of Venus. It began to collapse, and the lava was like a flood, rolling into the core in waves. The huge lava waves reached a height of more than 4,000 kilometers, surging!
Pieces of rocks, debris, and magma flying into space began to fall. Some huge fragments even caused the solid core to tremble violently, appearing and disappearing. The surrounding lava cracked and splashed.
In just a few minutes, the remaining intact half of Venus had not had time to change. It is unimaginable that half of the planet has been broken and the core is exposed; while the other half of the planet is still intact for the time being - the transfer of power and energy will also take some time. The clouds were thick and there was lightning and thunder. It even occasionally rains down - and then evaporates mid-air in the heat. Viewed from the satellite, it looks like a wonderful animation. On the cracked hemisphere, dark clouds, lightning, and rain moved laterally. There is also lava falling from the sky, bringing a different kind of poignancy to this broken world.
Under the gravity, the broken fragments began to surround, and the radius of 100,000 kilometers gradually expanded to the radius of 200,000 kilometers. At a position relatively close to the body of Venus, debris began to fall. These fragments falling from an altitude of tens of thousands of kilometers caused the remaining body of Venus to begin to tremble.
Boom... a piece of debris hundreds of kilometers away fell on the still intact part of Venus. In an instant, the remaining surface of Venus burst into pieces, like half a watermelon that had been slashed with a knife, and it was "broken" in the middle! Of course, it is not a real break, but under the action of gravity, the surrounding crust begins to collapse toward the center.
The high-speed moving fragments collide with each other, and powerful energy begins to emit. Lava begins to gather and water vapor fills the air! With Venus as the center, the temperature begins to spread to the surrounding areas. The red high-temperature airflow began to rage.
An hour later, Venus itself was no longer visible and was completely surrounded by red; but this still could not consume the huge energy.
Spreading... red is spreading... twenty thousand kilometers, fifty thousand kilometers... until finally, within one hundred thousand kilometers, everything is red!
From the earth, it seems as if a second sun has appeared in space. The surface temperature of this sun is more than 800 degrees - it does not affect the earth's temperature, light, etc., but it is still an astronomical wonder!
The periphery of the red "little sun" began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye, and debris continued to fall in space, gathering towards the center. Some particularly large fragments have long since disappeared and begun to merge into new planets.
But now Venus looks like a gaseous planet with a diameter of 100,000 kilometers and 200,000 kilometers of debris swirling around it. It's literally a red giant star - super small.
Some water vapor escaped from the surgically operated Venus, and then cooled into ice crystals in space, then landed, evaporated... and so on. Such a spectacle even allows Venus, which is now 100,000 kilometers in diameter, to have a thin atmosphere with an altitude of 50,000 kilometers. There are countless fragments swirling around, and these fragments are constantly falling and merging.
And through this impact, Venus finally began to rotate rapidly! Once upon a time, Venus rotated from east to west, which was very unusual in the solar system - you were the only one! The previous Ceres was too small and was more of a cooling and experimentation project for Venus. Therefore, the impact is not significant. But now it is different. The huge Callisto directly turned Venus over and began to rotate from west to east. However, this time only the time for Venus to rotate once changed to 70 hours.
Also, because of this impact, the orbit of Venus was about 5 million kilometers closer to the Earth's orbit. The original distance between the orbit of Venus and the orbit of the Earth is about 40 million kilometers. If you want to transform Venus, the distance from the sun is also crucial!
ps:
It took me a whole day to revise it, and I checked a lot of information on the scene description. It’s so exciting, I don’t dare to vote (*^__^*) Hehe...
