Chapter 560: Interstellar Pumping Machine
The success of the first flight of an interstellar battleship is only the first step, and it is far from enough to strike a large number of meteorites outside the red giant, and it is conservatively estimated that a hundred will be enough.
With so many starships, one starship manufacturing dock is definitely not enough, because one dock is running at full capacity, and it will assemble two more starships a year, and Tianming has to issue an order to let the Pioneer Bureau transfer a large number of people to build nine more docks.
The take-off, landing, docking, and replenishment of interstellar warships require the construction of a sturdy airport docking platform, this large airport platform, which has been built some time ago, has fifty starship berthing berths, and can be increased to one hundred berths if necessary.
After the two tasks of transforming the red giant star and clearing meteorites have made heavy progress, the last and most important remaining project to transform the red giant -- the water diversion project -- has also come to be put on the agenda and put on the table.
The red giant star is short of water, because of the high concentration of carbon dioxide in the air, the average temperature of day and night is about 120 degrees, the temperature of the north and south poles is slightly lower, and the polar night region can reach below zero, but there is still no water source found, that is, there is no water on the planet at all.
Water is the source of all things, and without water, no matter how well Tianming transforms the red giant star, it is not suitable for human existence.
Moreover, Tianming found that with the increasing number of pioneers who came to work on the red giant, the water consumption was also rising, and the daily use of 30 million people, plus the water for plant growth in the construction area, on average, had to transport at least 100 million tons of water from Blue Mercury to the red giant every day.
More water is used in the later stages.
"For the red giant to truly transform into a planet suitable for human life, at least 10 billion tons of water will be needed."
The words of Han Lei, director of the Planning Bureau, are still in my ears.
Tianming looked at Blue Mercury, which had turned into a small dot in the sky, and thought, "Do you have to pump 10 billion tons of water from Blue Mercury?" ”
Through the gate of space, Tianming came to Blue Mercury.
"His Majesty the God King."
"His Majesty the God King."
"Your Majesty the God King, you have come to see us."
After seeing that Tianming was coming, the nearby Blue Star people knelt down and bowed down when they saw him coming.
"Excuse me, get up."
A breeze blew up, helping several Blue Star elders to their feet.
It's time for Blue Mercury. It's been eight years since the end of the world, the old era is coming to an end, and the new one is about to begin.
When Tianming first came to Blue Mercury, the end had just begun, and then he struggled on this planet for several years, eliminated other threatening Blue Star forces, and entered a period of peaceful development, and before he knew it, seven or eight years had passed.
In the past few years, the number of Blue Star people. It has nearly doubled to more than 8 million, and on every living boat, you can see a lot of little dinga running around, the population explosion, plus the amount of food supply is sufficient, the mortality rate is very low, the degree of joy is high, and the development of various cultural and sports undertakings. These years can be said to be the happiest period for the people of Blue Star.
Of course, the Blue Star people will not forget who brought this qiē, the old Blue Star people, who returned home every day after praying sincerely to the statue of the new light. Holding his little grandson who is two or three years old, he often teaches us like this: "His Majesty the God King has given us souls, food, and clothes. Light, and children who should not have been born in the era of the devil's wrath of the sea god...... But you're lucky, kid. Start reading it to me, thank God for the most merciful ......"
After convening a council of elders and dealing with some of the more important issues that arose within the kingdom of God, Tianming teleported to the vicinity of the equator.
According to the words of the old man of the Blue Star People, the demon star is far away, the power of the devil is disappearing, and a new era is about to begin, but after coming to the equator, perhaps due to the inertia of the waves, the waves here are still three or four hundred meters high.
Moreover, the Arctic ice cap is less than six months away from melting, and there will still be an Arctic whirlpool, and the last one.
When the whirlpool is finished, the shadow of the end will officially leave the blue planet, all the mainland islands will surface, the sea level will drop, the waves will subside, and the brave new world will begin to arrive.
It's just that for Tianming, the only thing that troubles him is that he has to make a final north-south transfer of the fleet to avoid whirlpools and storms.
"There is too much water on Blue Mercury, just because of the gravitational tide brought by another nearby planet, all the continents will disappear, not to mention, this process will last for ten years, even if there is an ark, it can't bear it."
How to avoid another doomsday flood on Blue Mercury has become a question that Tianming, the master of the planet, must think about.
The first way is to change the orbit of Barren Star or Blue Mercury.
It's just that the mass of a planet is as high as N trillion trillion tons, and the force applied to push an object with such a mass does not need to be large enough.
According to some novels, it was hundreds of millions of planetary engines that started at the same time, breaking the earth's crust and realizing the planet's orbital migration.
Now Tianming doesn't have the ability to build so many planetary engines at once, and his ability space is not large enough to fit into a planet, and the orbit migration of the planet is not necessary for the time being.
The second option, then, is to drain the waters of Blue Mercury.
"The red giant needs about 10 billion tons of seawater, and the ocean area of blue mercury is about 1.6 billion square kilometers, and if 10 billion tons of water are pumped out, the sea level will drop by about 625 meters, of course, because some shallow water areas will continue to be exposed in the process of pumping, and the actual drop in sea level is about 800-1000 meters." Han Leidao, who was standing next to him.
Tianming frowned slightly: "800-1000 meters, then the ocean must be drained quickly, and there is too much water lost, right?" ”
"Not much, Commander, the average depth of the Blue Mercury Ocean is about 7,700 meters, and the total amount of water is about 125 billion tons, which is 10 times that of the Earth, and pumping out 10 billion tons is not a very large amount. Moreover, there is also the benefit that the water of Blue Mercury will decrease, and the land area will increase to about 150 million square kilometers, that is, if 10 billion tons of seawater are pumped away, the land area of Blue Mercury will appear. The land area of the earth is equal, how many people can be supported on such a vast continent in the future, Commander? One or two tens of billions is no problem! ”
Tianming's eyes lit up, and he said silently: "150 million square kilometers, isn't Blue Mercury a large earth that is not magnified by land and magnified by oceans several times?" When you think about it, it seems pretty good. ”
"That's right, Commander, not only has Blue Mercury's available land resources increased, but Red Giant has also quickly become a vibrant planet because of the abundance of water! Two planets of life. The living space of human beings has never become so wide! Han Lei said excitedly.
"In that case, let's start pumping."
……
Back to the Red Giant, Tianming called several Blue Star Elders, including Maiga, Luo Bo, and Zuanka, together, and it took three days to create a huge spatial door.
This space gate, just the diameter of the outer frame, has reached ninety-five meters, which is twice as large as the space gate that was placed on the bottom of the sea of the Venus Giant Star before.
The heart of the Spatial Gate. It is a super-large crystal with a diameter of more than half a meter, and a large space channel rune is inlaid in the crystal, and the volume of the four-dimensional space inside the channel rune exceeds two thousand cubic centimeters.
Except for the Door of Space. Tianming also used more than 50 million tons of silver steel and black steel materials to create an incomparably large filter, which resembled a more cylindrical pipe, with an internal diameter of more than 1,000 meters. The middle part has a honeycomb-like nanofilter, and the diameter of the honeycomb pores can only hold up to ten water molecules side by side, and the molecular weight is slightly larger, such as sugars, amino acids, proteins, etc. It is cut into small molecules by a sharp filter.
With this filter, the problem of microbial contamination carried by Blue Mercury's seawater during the pumping process is solved.
After the space gate and filter were built, Tianming combined the space gate on the side of the red giant star with the filter into a closed whole, and placed it in the low depression on the east side of the red bank - the water pumped by Blue Mercury will merge into an ocean here.
On the fourth day, Tianming took another door of space to Blue Mercury, which is located under the sea at a depth of more than 10,000 meters below the North Pole.
The sea low pressure at this depth is very strong, and the deep submersibles made of black steel seem to be a little unbearable, making squeaky sounds from time to time.
Half an hour later, at the bottom of the black hole, Tianming fixed a 20,000-ton black steel submarine platform and installed the space gate on this fixed platform.
After installing it, Tianming took out the rune phone and said to Elder Maijia on the other end of the phone, "Elder Maiga, activate the Gate of the Kingdom of God." ”
Elder Maijia on the other end of the phone immediately became excited, the door of the Kingdom of God was immediately opened, and the planet over there will be forever saved from the apocalyptic flood in the future, and from now on, the Blue Star people will live on the vast land for generations, and the new era will no longer experience the pain of rebirth-destruction of reincarnation! The Blue Star people will prosper for a thousand or ten thousand years under the leadership of His Majesty the God King.
"Yes, His Majesty the God King!" Facing the gate of the Kingdom of God, dozens of Blue Star Great Priests entered their divine consciousness at the same time.
In the middle of the sea, a whirlpool began to appear, at first the diameter of the whirlpool was relatively small, but it was enough, Tianming opened the ability space, and began to clear the three-dimensional space foam in the space channel.
Because the straight-line distance between Blue Mercury and the red giant is now more than 500 million kilometers, after the formation of the space channel, there is a lot of residual three-dimensional space foam, and it took four or five hours to compress the length of the space channel to 500 kilometers.
The length was shortened, the diameter was thickened, and after the diameter of the spatial channel increased to a thousand meters, Tianming punched a large number of node runes into it and fixed the rune channel.
The water pressure under the sea of 10,000 meters is very large, after the space channel is opened, like a straw into a water cup, a large amount of seawater pours into this channel, of course, because the suction at the other end of the channel is not big enough, the seawater has not yet occurred the siphon effect, Tianming followed this space channel, came to the red giant.
At the end of the red giant, Tianming uses the method of extracting three-dimensional foam in the sky passage to form a "space collapse", a large amount of seawater surging along the collapsed space in front of it, the speed is getting faster and faster, and when it reaches the end point along the channel, the seawater gushes out from the mouth of the pipe with a thick pipe, through the filtration area.
And, driven by the siphon effect, the gushing of seawater is continuous, forming an interstellar pumping machine made of the Milky Way, which uses space gates to bring a large amount of water resources from one planet to another.
The roar of the water was deafening, and Han Lei, an expert standing next to him, approached Tianming's ear and said loudly: "Commander, the flow of seawater is about 1 million cubic meters per second, and according to this speed, pumping 10 billion tons of seawater can be completed in about 30,000 years!" ”
"More than 30,000 years?"
Tianming was depressed and wanted to vomit blood, this pumping movement looks quite big, why does it take so long?
"Commander, it will only take a hundred years to build another three hundred such space gates, or to speed up the pumping of seawater, it will also save a lot of time."
Helplessly, in order to speed up the amount of seawater pumped, in the next month, Tianming kept going, going back and forth between the two planets, and built thirty space gates placed on the bottom of the sea.
At the same time, in order to speed up the pumping of seawater, Tianming also built 30 nuclear-powered pumping machines, placed in front of the filtration device, after starting the pumping device, the flow rate of seawater increased by 30 times, reaching 30 million cubic meters per second, and then multiplied by 30, according to this considerable speed, as long as more than 30 years, the pumping of seawater can be completed.
