Chapter 615: Williams Space Military University
The news of the water on the moon quickly reached Henry, but Henry did not let SpaceX announce the news that there was water on the moon. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoOnce other countries know that there is water on the moon, I am afraid that they will set off a high ~ tide on the moon, which is not what Henry wants to see!
Henry wants to keep some of the good assets as much as he can before other countries enter the moon!
Therefore, regardless of whether there is water on the moon or not, Henry is going to build a base on the moon!
The establishment of the base, the main purpose is to obtain a new type of nuclear fusion fuel on the moon "helium-3", although there is no technology to convert the fusion energy contained in helium-3 into energy, but Henry's super energy company has made a great breakthrough in this aspect, and in the near future, it will be able to master this technology. When the time comes, not only can the energy problem of the spaceship be solved, but even a realistic version of Iron Man can be created!!
In addition to the "helium-3" energy source, there are also innumerable other mineral resources, especially some rare metals, which are too important for the development of aerospace! Henry plans to build the moon base into a spaceship manufacturing plant for the Williams Empire, and use the resources of the moon to build a powerful space fleet!!
The Moon's autobiographical and orbital period are the same, so it is always one facing the Earth.
There is a saying in China: Stand tall, see far!
The Moon is higher than any space station or any satellite, and since it never shows itself on the back side, if anyone can build a missile base on the far side of the Moon and equip it with all kinds of weapons, they can control the Earth from a high position. If the GPS global positioning satellite system of the United States is knocked out, what a blow it will be to the United States!
Therefore, any country that can build a military base on the moon will have a powerful deterrent!
It can then be inferred that countries with strong aerospace power will be strong in the future!
The sky outside is so vast that staying on Earth can only sit and watch the sky!
Obviously, it will not take many years for the moon to be divided between the Williams Empire, the United States, China, Russia and other countries, and other countries will not be able to land on the moon and can only stick to the earth, and the gap will become wider and wider in the future.
Now that the moon is divided, the next target is Mars!
The surface of the moon does not have any atmosphere, it is in an ultra-high vacuum, it is a world without sound, without life, and dead and silent! In contrast, Mars is the most similar planet to Earth. Counting from the inside to the outside of the Sun, Earth is the third planet, and Mars is the fourth. It is half the diameter of the Earth, and its day and night are only slightly longer than the day and night on Earth, about 37 minutes longer. Like the Earth, it has an atmosphere, water (water ice has been found, as well as remnants of lake basins and river channels), which provide conditions for living things to survive!!
As we learn more about Mars, it seems to be a miniature Earth, and there is no other planet in the solar system that resembles Earth like Mars. Therefore, Mars is the most anticipated and developed planet, the most suitable planet for interstellar migration that mankind has discovered so far!!
Henry's ambition is so great that he even wants to occupy the whole of Mars. However, this is clearly unlikely. All countries in the world regard Mars as the hope of human beings to immigrate to other planets, and if the Williams Empire declares its sovereignty over Mars, it will inevitably be opposed by various countries on the earth led by the United States, thus forming a situation in which the Williams Empire is opposed to the entire earth. Can the Williams Empire challenge all the nations of Earth? Apparently not. Moreover, as early as 1967, the "Outer Space Treaty" promulgated by the United Nations mentioned that "outer space, including the moon and various celestial bodies, is not subordinate to any country, and no country may occupy it by declaring sovereignty, actually using or possessing it, or by other means." "This treaty makes it clear that no country can own Mars.
Since Mars cannot be monopolized, the Williams Empire can only divide up Mars as much as possible. Originally, Henry had a huge Martian environmental transformation plan, but the "good thing" of the Williams Empire's "predecessors planting trees" and other countries' "descendants enjoying the shade" made Henry quite hesitant.
As we all know, the average surface temperature of Mars is only minus 62 degrees Celsius, and the lowest temperature can reach minus 176 degrees. On the contrary, the average temperature of the Earth is 14 degrees Celsius, with a minimum of minus 87 degrees. But Mars is a "malleable planet" that can become Earth-like if you manage to raise its temperature. Henry once put forward a very bold idea, if a number of nuclear bombs are dropped on the poles of Mars, a series of nuclear explosions can release a large amount of thermal radiation in a short period of time, causing the temperature of the Martian atmosphere to rise, and the surface temperature of Mars can be greatly increased in a short period of time, thus creating an environment similar to the earth suitable for human survival. At the same time, the greenhouse effect of carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons and ammonia is used to raise the temperature of the Martian surface to near freezing, and various microorganisms, animals and plants are gradually introduced. At this time, the water vapor in the atmosphere, the oxygen produced by genetically engineered plants, and the micro-regulation of the surface environment will further increase the temperature and become more friendly to life on Earth. In this way, the overall environment of Mars will gradually become suitable for humans until they can settle without relying on protective devices.
At present, the Mars landing has not yet been completed, and Henry has not considered whether the Williams Empire itself is carrying out such a Martian environmental transformation plan. However, in addition to modifying the environment, human evolution is also one aspect.
Gene Umbrella is committed to developing genetic evolution agents to improve human physique and immunity in order to better adapt to the space environment.
At present, almost all astronauts of SpaceX have taken the first generation of genetic evolution drugs, and they are obviously more adapted to the living environment in space than astronauts in other countries. The astronauts of the space station who often stay in a weightless environment are actually unbearable, and after retirement, they will have some serious diseases, not to mention immigrating to other planets. Therefore, if human beings want to step out of the earth and step into the vast universe, their own evolution is indispensable!
At the same time, in order to safeguard the interests of the Williams Empire on Mars in the future, it is necessary to have a powerful space fleet, and the space fleet needs excellent personnel to control it! Therefore, the establishment of a space military training school has been put on the agenda. A lunar base would be a good choice, in a complete vacuum, where Henry intends to build a "Williams Space Military University" that is unique in the world!
