Chapter 636: Transforming Venus
Ever since Hatton and the battleship production line arrived on Earth, Zhang Shusheng felt relieved. The dockyard in outer space was also entering the finishing stages, and his attention was temporarily turned to another big thing.
As the mother river system of the empire, the solar system has only one living planet, which is too little, so Zhang Shusheng proposed a plan to transform Venus a year ago, and personally led the team to carry out some preliminary demonstration work.
In 1953, the Venus Transformation Work Conference was held in the office center of the Hanjingshan Science and Technology Committee, which had just been completed. Since it does not involve political work for the time being, except for Zhang Shusheng, all of the participants are full-time scientific and technological workers.
Venus is one of the eight planets in the solar system, with the Sun and the Earth as references, and the order from near to far is the Sun-Mercury-Venus-Earth.
Except for Mercury's occasional reversal role, it is the closest planet to Earth, and in ancient times it was the famous Platinum Star.
In the conference room, Professor Dewey, the leader of the Venus Transformation Working Group and an expert in planetary transformation, was speaking, because some of the experts present did not attend the earliest project establishment meeting, so he spoke in a simple and easy-to-understand manner.
"The gravity level of Venus is not much different from that of Earth, and it is close to Earth in terms of volume and mass.
However, its transformation work also faces several major problems. ”
Professor Dewey is not very old, he is a person who began to receive a new education in the 30s, and from an early age he did not learn the old education, but started with virtual education.
"First. Venus's rotation speed is very slow, it takes 243 days to rotate a week, and it is exposed to sunlight for too long, which directly causes its temperature to be too high.
Moreover, the slow rotation directly causes its planetary magnetic field to be very weak, which cannot deflect the solar wind, so that the water is decomposed into hydrogen and oxygen.
Rotation leads to high temperatures and destruction of the early atmosphere......"
Professor Dewey was talking, and Zhang Shusheng was also thinking seriously. The situation of Venus, which is complicated to say, is actually only a few aspects.
First of all, because of the inner core of the planet, it rotates in a reverse direction, and the other planets in the solar system rotate from west to east. And its rotation is from east to west, that is, the sun seen on Venus rises in the west and sets in the east.
Its rotation is also very slow, resulting in a long illumination time, which also directly affects the magnetic field and ultimately the composition of the atmosphere.
In addition, the temperature of Venus is particularly high, as high as four or five hundred degrees, this temperature, needless to say, is absolutely unsuitable for human habitation, and to transform it, lowering the temperature is a step that must be done.
Aside from temperature, its atmosphere is almost like a pot lid made mostly of carbon dioxide, smothering Venus and turning the entire planet into a microwave oven.
"In general, if we want to transform Venus, we need to solve the following difficulties.
The speed of rotation of the first Venus. Second, the atmosphere of Venus. Third, accept the problem of too much solar heat. Fourth, oxygen and water.
As long as these problems can be solved, the others are not problems. ”
Professor Dewey couldn't contain the excitement in his heart, and the mere thought of transforming the planet was extremely exciting.
Similar to sailing the stars in a spaceship and conquering the universe, transforming the planet is just as great.
Unlike those who scold the peasants for transforming the earth, the transformation of Venus will surely be a great achievement that will affect countless thousands of years, and once it is successful, I don't know how many Chinese sons and daughters will benefit from it.
It would be a wonderful thing if the mother river system could have one more planet of life, two planets of life.
If you want to live on Earth, you can live on Earth. If you want to go to Venus to buy a house, go to Venus to live.
While making a report, Dewey's mind was full of two things, and a beautiful vision for the future flashed repeatedly. He also has a very high IQ and is not afraid of distractions.
Among the people present, even Zhang Shusheng was also slightly excited.
The transformation of Venus, once successful, will surely bless countless generations of future generations.
"Your Majesty, colleagues, throughout the year, we have been making theoretical preparations and some experimental work, and the results are in the documents in front of you. We ask Your Majesty to tell you about this grand plan in person. ”
After Dewey finished talking about the cause and effect, he did not continue, but asked everyone to look at the document and let His Majesty speak.
Zhang Shusheng didn't refuse, and let everyone look at the documents for a few minutes before saying, "In the past, transforming the planet was an unimaginable thing, but now, after everyone sees the documents at hand, they should be able to understand that this is not a dream, but a plan that can really be implemented......
Just like the project was established a year ago, Zhang Shusheng told his general idea, combined with the documents he had just seen, among the people present, even Dewey knew the inside story best, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Zhang Shusheng's plan is complicated to say, but it is actually very simple.
According to his vision, all transformation plans must be premised on accelerating the rotation of Venus.
If the rotation period is still 243 days, it is almost impossible for a person to get up according to the rising sun and wait for the sun to go down to sleep.
How can I speed up the rotation cycle?
After sending a scientific research ship to collect data on Venus, and then using his brain to model and analyze the planet, Zhang Shusheng found that the reason for Venus's slow rotation is complicated to say, but it is actually simple.
The fundamental reason is that the mass distribution of the planet Venus is different from that of the Earth, and even different from the major planets of the solar system.
The large difference in the density distribution between the inner and outer sides of the planet causes it to rotate backwards and rotate slowly.
Through planetary modeling and analyzing its density distribution, Zhang Shusheng believes that its density distribution can be modified by using a combination of methods to bombard certain areas of its surface with modified large energy cannons, and then using meteorites or asteroids to hit some key locations of it.
Change a little and move the whole body.
Zhang Shusheng didn't want to completely change its density distribution, he only needed to break that weird equilibrium to greatly change its rotation.
This approach may seem exaggerated, but it is not very difficult to implement.
According to the precise calculation and control of the brain, the bombardment position of the energy cannon can be achieved with maximum accuracy.
And meteorites and asteroids are not difficult, only need to install an energy engine with a surname on a meteorite or asteroid, because it is a surname, and the precision requirements are not so high, it only needs to be simple and rude, it can be accurate in angle, and it can be regulated, the cost is not expensive, Zhang Shusheng can choose to purchase, or exchange, it is not expensive.
This kind of energy engine is used a lot in planet transformation.
Modify a meteorite or asteroid to fly on its own, and then hit Venus at a precise angle, and the rotation speed will be greatly accelerated when the density structure is changed.
It's like a globe that is stationary or rotates slowly, but it only needs to be pulled on the surface of the earth with a small amount of force, and the speed will be accelerated.
And because the density structure has changed, the strange equilibrium that existed before no longer exists, and the rotating Venus will no longer slow down, but will have a new equilibrium rotation cycle.
"From the data calculated by the intelligent brain, we can see that if we adopt this combined transformation method, we can shorten the rotation time of Venus to 2~4 days, which is tens or nearly 100 times."
Zhang Shusheng said affirmatively, and at the same time turned on the 3D projection on the conference table, and with the help of Zhi Brain, a virtual 3D video appeared.
"Look, everyone!"
In the image, a slowly rotating planet is Venus.
A battleship, already aiming its main guns at it.
On the screen, boom, the battleship's modified main gun had already fired, first hitting a huge flash point of Venus, and then, the same modified secondary gun also fired continuously, hitting several other flash points.
Judging from the data calculated by the intelligent brain, after this round of calculated artillery fire, the balance of the overall density structure of Venus has been broken, and the rotation index is increasing at a visible rate.
The next moment, the picture changed, and many meteorites appeared in the outer space of Venus.
Dozens of huge meteorites, including two small moons much smaller than the Moon.
Fueled by energy engines, these meteorites and small moons rushed at ultra-high speed towards several shining spots on the surface of Venus on the screen. (Today's man-made astronomical objects can travel at high speeds just by relying on outdated fuel, or even solar sails, and the thrust of the energy engine is much greater.) Next, the flashes were hit by meteorites or small satellites.
Unlike the direct fire of the energy cannon that changes the geological structure of some key locations, thereby changing the density structure balance of the entire planet, under the earth-shattering physical impact, Venus, a guy like an old aunt, suddenly spun itself as if he had been hit with chicken blood.
It's like a huge globe, and someone has been slammed into it.
“1.2.3……”
On the 3D virtual screen demonstrated by Zhibrain, the rotation index of Venus has increased rapidly, and even the naked eye can see that this virtual planet has become faster, and there is a trend of getting faster and faster.
It was only when the rotation index, which accurately represents the rotation, stabilized that it was discovered that the rotation period of Venus had changed from about 243 days to 3.5 days.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
Fierce applause rang out in the conference room, and all the participants, including Dewey, were so excited that they could no longer hold back the frenzy in their hearts, stood up, and applauded violently.
"Your Majesty, it's great, it's really good. If this experiment can be successful in practice, then we have absolute confidence that we can overcome the other difficulties that will follow. ”
A new geological structure scientist who joined the project team said loudly.
"Liang Guangping, don't you see that on the document, there are also preliminary intentions to solve several other difficulties? Hahaha, if the rotation can be lowered, I, a worker in atmospheric science, will also have a place to play. ”
Another expert in the field of atmosphere also read the plan on the document to transform the atmosphere, and couldn't help but be amazed, everyone knows that, as His Majesty said, the key to transforming Venus is to modify its poor rotation.
Now that they have seen the simulation experiment demonstrated by Zhibrain, everyone can't help but be amazed.
This is definitely a very grand idea, but unlike wishful thinking, it has an absolute theoretical basis, and the feasible surname is very high.
Zhang Shusheng smiled and pressed his hands, signaled everyone to be quiet, and said, "Everyone, I think the next few transformation methods, you are also very concerned, let's take a look at the other transformation steps demonstrated by Zhi Brain." ”
From the bottom of his heart, Zhang Shusheng knows that the transformation of Venus is only a matter of time, but it will definitely succeed, and this is also a matter of doing a great cause for the sons and daughters of China.
