Chapter 588 Sudden inspiration


Sure enough, if the boss slaps his head, the people below will run away and break their legs; but now, if Zhang Jingyuan slaps his head, even the top scientists will have their heads broken! Half a year has passed and I have found nothing! As long as there is some possible technology, everyone has carefully calculated it! However, to everyone's dismay, the feasibility alone failed to pass, let alone the subsequent cost calculations and construction expectations. Among them, the best, simplest, and most promising is atmospheric circulation cooling technology. This was proposed by Zhong Yuanxing, which uses a large number of lightweight carbon tubes to continuously pump the atmosphere into space for natural cooling, and then circulate it back to the ground. But after calculations, everyone found that in order to extract the atmosphere from the planet, the energy required is even higher than the heat emitted! In other words, this method cannot be established theoretically! What follows is even more out of the question. As for other methods, let alone none of them can pass theoretical research!

"Boom... bang..." It's summer again. The glass-topped special planet environment simulation laboratory was crowded with people.

This laboratory is a hundred meters in diameter, hemispherical, and has a center height of 50 meters. In the middle is a three-dimensional projection of Venus with a diameter of 30 meters. Through various technologies, including space and magnetic field detection technology, a Venus is recreated here. From the atmosphere to the ground to the ocean to the depths of the ocean, as long as you need it, you can even see colonies of bacteria a few millimeters in size on the ocean, like huge lotus leaves floating on the ocean; there are some differences in the colors of different colonies, and there is actually one The illusion and beauty of a hundred flowers blooming.

For half a year, everyone has been discussing the cooling of Venus. However, the biggest gain so far is that he unintentionally perfected the planet's monitoring technology. Through a variety of technologies such as visible light, electromagnetic waves, gravitational fields, and rays; through the launch of space probes, atmospheric floating probes, geological activity monitoring facilities, ocean detectors, earth drilling exploration, ocean robot subsidence exploration and other technologies, almost the entire Venus Monitor: No target the size of an ant can escape monitoring. Even the voltage and temperature of machines that have started working can be detected.

This is a truly digital planet, and the collection of all technologies is the current three-dimensional projection of Venus. Even the weather conditions and cosmic environment simulations are synchronized with Venus; the signal may be delayed due to the influence of space distance, but it will definitely be updated in real time. Even if the Earth and Venus are just separated by the sun. Communications are blocked by the sun. Signals are also transmitted via relay satellites. Today, it takes 280 "Earth days" for Venus to orbit the sun; if it were replaced by 30 hours per day for Venus, a year for Venus would be 224 days.

Venus has a 30-hour day and rotates slowly, which invisibly makes up for the low gravity caused by its small mass. Therefore, the gravitational acceleration on the surface of Venus is indeed more than 9.5. But it is affected by the rotation speed. The combined gravitational acceleration exhibited. It is only less than 0.2 different from the earth.

Simulated sunlight shines on the virtual three-dimensional Venus, the clouds roll, sparkle and thunder. This scene. It was probably the scene that just happened on Venus ten minutes ago.

Oh, and there’s another catch! Zhang Chengye looked at the pouring rain outside, and his mind flew to Venus: the calendar of Venus was roughly determined. The 224 days are divided into four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter. Each season is divided into two months, with 28 days per month and 30 hours per day. Except for the same hours as the Earth, the rest of the time is completely different from the Earth. In the future, the time issue between the two planets will definitely give people a headache for a while. Venus, it’s eight months and one year!

Boom... Outside the laboratory, Razer flashed across the sky. With such a severe thunderstorm, no expert company dared to arrange for the aircraft to take off. Thunderclouds hung low, and at noon the ground was almost invisible. According to detection, the lowest height of the thundercloud was only over 300 meters, and some high-rise buildings over 100 meters were evacuated urgently. This is a rare thunderstorm in Qingzhou Province in more than ten years.

Click! There was also lightning and thunder indoors! The same is true on Venus in stereoscopic projection. In fact, the lightning on Venus far exceeds the scale of lightning on Earth because of the large amount of water vapor, high temperature, and extremely thick atmosphere. But this time, a bolt of lightning spread almost from the equatorial region of Venus to the South Pole. The huge thunder snakes were like intertwined branches, covering almost one-eighth of the surface of Venus.

Such powerful lightning is also rare on Venus - of course, not as rare as large lightning on Earth. But it happens about three or five times a year.

As the lightning ends, some data on Venus' surface appears blank. Apparently some of the atmospheric probes had been damaged. This situation has happened many times, and spacecraft in space quickly put corresponding backup detectors into the atmosphere of Venus. The huge speed and friction of the air melt the outer shell of the ice, releasing the detectors enclosed in ice. Then the detector's airbag begins to heat and expand, and then most of them will successfully float in the atmosphere, and a small number will be absorbed. burn. Using ice as a shell is a new technology that was recently developed: simple, practical and low-cost!

Everything is displayed in detail in this 30-meter three-dimensional projection, and the changes are changing. To be honest, Venus, current Venus, is beautiful. Green has appeared on the earth, and there are oases floating in the ocean. This is all the efforts of the green primitive life; even when you switch the mode, you can see that in the digital Venus, massive amounts of oxygen fly out of the water and fill the atmosphere. Blue sky, white floating clouds, turquoise sea... isn't this what the ancients called beautiful scenery?

But now no one pays attention. For half a year, I have tried and simulated every conceivable method, but to no avail. Even many methods, in computer simulations, use a lot of electricity, causing the heat of Venus to increase.

Suddenly, a strange lightning broke out on Venus. It was the so-called fairy lightning. Three elven lightnings were not far apart, flying into space in a zigzag pattern. The bottom looks like a few tree roots, and the top looks like swaying water plants, trembling and silky, but like fireworks shooting out of the atmosphere.

Such a scene has certainly happened more than once, and it happened in the atmosphere of Venus at an altitude of about 150 kilometers. Here, in the definition of atmosphere, it already belongs to the high-altitude atmosphere and does not belong to the near-earth atmosphere of 130 kilometers (Venus). But this is indeed the area where elven lightning is generated. They don't explode toward the ground, but into outer space. On the 30-meter model of Venus, this ghost lightning is three meters long - in fact, on Venus, these three ghost lightnings spread a full 1,300 kilometers!

At the same time, a bolt of lightning struck straight down outside the laboratory and was absorbed by the lightning rod above the laboratory. But at this moment, two lightning bolts, one true and one false, actually reflected each other. It seems like the entire laboratory has been penetrated!

"I thought of it! I thought of it!" 17-year-old Li Xinyu suddenly shouted happily, lifted the chair next to her with one kick, ignored her boyfriend's dissatisfaction, went directly to the central computer and started to control it.

Deep Blue Middle School among the masters will begin to enter the laboratory for internship. This habit has been implemented from the beginning to the present, injecting a large number of high-tech talents into the master company.

Voice control, keyboard input, command control, neural connection... After a series of operations, Li Xinyu panted and stopped what he was doing. The elf lightning on the Venus model just now was reproduced; the elf lightning model that was enlarged to 30 meters was Each section is marked with numbers and explanations.

Li Xinyu was excited, extremely excited, and even a little incoherent: "Look, everyone, this is Venus, the fairy lightning that just happened on the model. I calculated it and found that the voltage of the three lightning bolts reached an instantaneous maximum of 1.7 billion volts and 13 billion volts respectively. billion volts , 1.5 billion volts, the highest lightning temperatures are 32,000 degrees, 29,000 degrees, and 18,000 degrees respectively. Oh, the temperature and voltage are not uniform. We will study this later. It should be related to time. This is not the scope of our discussion.


The three lightning flashes released 8654 kilowatt-hours, 7239 kilowatt-hours, and 5343 kilowatt-hours of electricity in an instant. But only about 43% of the heat is returned to the atmosphere, and the remaining about 57% rushes out of the atmosphere and leaves the atmosphere in the form of radiation and ions.

Let's switch to the radiation perspective again. ”

Then, the screen switched to the radiation perspective, "Look, from the radiation perspective, the length of lightning is 1,300 kilometers, but the highest temperature point is not on the lightning, but away from the lightning. Here, the highest temperature point is far away from the sky Atmosphere, entering outer space. Here, because the area of ​​outer space is much larger than the area of ​​the atmosphere, 57% of the radiated energy escapes into space.

Now, I can announce that I have found a feasible way to artificially cool Venus. That is to stimulate the atmosphere and make it produce lightning.

Of course, it is not enough to just generate lightning. It is also necessary to stimulate the atmosphere with minimal energy consumption and let the atmosphere burst out with lightning. Then these lightning bolts cannot be directed toward the ground, but toward space. We can study and imitate the mechanism of Elf Lightning. This is just one naturally occurring lightning, which can deliver nearly 50 million joules of energy to outer space!

Imagine that if we can make the entire atmosphere of Venus have continuous and large-scale lightning bursts, the atmospheric temperature can be reduced to freezing point in a few days. Even if we master the method, it only takes a few times and a few days to reduce the temperature of the atmosphere to freezing point. The ocean is frozen! Moreover, it can also be used as a means of regulating Venus and a powerful meteorological weapon in the future!

Wow..."

"Pa bang bang..." Everyone looked at the high-spirited little girl. This is the new generation of the Master Company, and they are supporting a future interstellar empire. However, the next moment, Li Xinyu suddenly jumped in front of Zhang Chengye and stretched out his hand: "Uncle Zhang, give me the money!" (To be continued...)

ps: By the way, I have thought about it for this too - such a wonderful story and idea, hurry up and buy your tickets (*^__^*) Heehee...o(n_n)ohaha~o(n_n)o ~~~~~(>_<)~~~~
