Chapter 411, Impact Experiment
Somewhere in the void of the solar system, a huge Qinglong-class spaceship dragged an asteroid with a mass of 450 million tons through the void.
This Qinglong-class spaceship is branded with a red flag and the logo of the Galaxy Technology Group, and it is clear that this is a spaceship belonging to the Galaxy Technology Group.
Poyang Lake, this is one of the third batch of Qinglong-class spaceships produced by Galaxy Technology Group, because he wants to transform Mars, so Qin Yi has also been slowly hoarding spaceships, basically every batch of spaceships produced, Qin Yi will keep a few for himself.
The three spaceships, Poyang Lake, Dongting Lake, and Taihu Lake, are all spaceships of the same batch, and they are also the spaceships that Qin Yi kept for himself.
The flight trajectory of the Poyang Lake spacecraft is not in the direction of the Earth, but in the direction of Mars, where the Dongting Lake spacecraft has already arrived and is waiting very patiently.
Behind the Poyang Lake spacecraft, in the area of the small belt, the Taihu spacecraft is also dragging an asteroid towards Mars.
Using three spaceships at once, it is clear that this time, Galaxy Technology Group has made a big move.
In the Dongting Lake spacecraft, many scientists are busy, and the quantum computer is constantly calculating the flight speed, flight trajectory, flight angle, etc. of the Poyang Lake spacecraft, and at the same time, the computer is constantly simulating the experiment of an asteroid hitting Mars.
Qin Yi, Lu Qingwei, Liu Peiqiang, Qiu Feng, Shen Gongbao and others were also among them, and they all ran to Mars.
"Haha, I didn't expect that at my age, I would have the opportunity to come to Mars."
Professor Qiu Feng looked at the Mars outside, the whole person was in a very good mood, the development of the times is too fast, and things that I couldn't think of before are now just very commonplace.
"What is Mars, I'm going to go to the alien planet to see it in the future."
Professor Shen Gongbao, like Professor Qiu Feng, is a researcher in quantum technology, and he and Qiu Feng often communicate together, and they are both old friends.
"Alien planet?"
"No matter how fast we develop, we shouldn't be able to leave the solar system for a few decades, and I'm afraid we will be really old by then."
When Professor Qiu Feng heard this, he was obviously very excited, but after thinking about it, he said helplessly, he couldn't borrow another five hundred years from the sky.
"Anything is possible, don't talk about old age."
Professor Shen Gongbao looked at Mars in front of him and seemed to think far ahead.
Qin Yi looked at the void outside the spaceship, Mars stood quietly in the void like a ruby, unlike Earth, the atmosphere on Mars was too thin, and there was no misty halo like Earth.
Qin Yi came to Mars this time, so naturally he didn't come to play.
It is definitely not an easy task to transform Mars into an asteroid suitable for human habitation, and it requires a very large number of asteroids to constantly hit Mars, adding mass, adding water, increasing the atmosphere, activating the Martian core, generating magnetic fields, and so on.
Now the conditions for transforming Mars are not ripe, and there are not many spaceships on the entire Earth combined, and it is far from enough to pull them all over.
However, this does not prevent scientists from conducting some experiments on modifying Mars first, by hauling some asteroids to impact Mars, and then collecting relevant data to be able to calculate the feasibility of modifying Mars, the cost and so on.
This time, the purpose of the Galaxy Science Research Institute is to use the asteroid impact on Mars, collect the relevant data of the asteroid impact on Mars, and then input these data into the computer, and use the computer to simulate the whole process of Mars transformation.
This would allow for more accurate numbers and a pre-existing idea of how feasible it would be to use asteroids to modify Mars.
All the preparations are in place, and the whole of Mars, the space of Mars, is full of all kinds of surveillance satellites to monitor everything on Mars.
On Mars, from the north and south poles of Mars to the equator of Mars, from the vast plains of the northern hemisphere of Mars to the ancient plateaus of the southern hemisphere, there are all kinds of monitors, data receivers, and so on.
"The speed is 45 kilometers per second, the angle of impact is 76 degrees, and the location of the impact is the Martian equator......"
Scientists are tirelessly calculating the upcoming asteroid impact experiment over and over again, and the speed, angle, and location of the impact are all very important and need to be collected.
According to the arrangement of the experiment, this time, asteroids of different masses and structures will be mined and hit the asteroid at different angles, at different speeds, and at different positions.
Any experimental inference is based on a large amount of accurate information, and scientists are well aware of this, and the modification of Mars is a huge undertaking, and the scientific method may be able to greatly reduce the time and cost of modification.
"It's coming~"
I don't know who shouted, but everyone turned their attention to the void.
I saw a huge spaceship dragging an asteroid as if it was flying rapidly from the distant void, and at this time, the Poyang Lake spacecraft had not yet separated from the asteroid, in order to be able to adjust the angle at the last moment.
"Team 1 is ready~"
"Team 2 is ready~"
“……”
In the Dongting Lake spacecraft, scientists have become more busy, and the voices are constantly sounding, and everyone is beginning to become nervous, and the experiment of the asteroid hitting Mars is about to begin.
"The separation of the Poyang Lake was successful~"
"30 minutes countdown to impact~"
Listening to the sounds, the atmosphere inside the spacecraft became tense, and everyone looked at the void outside, looking at the asteroid that was speeding towards Mars.
"This should be the first time in human history that an asteroid has been actively mined to hit a planet, right?"
Qin Yi's side, Liu Peiqiang said thoughtfully.
"Is this necessary to come up with? We don't know how many firsts we've made. ”
Lu Qingwei pouted, this is no longer popular, and in the past, he would talk about how and how human beings were for the first time, but now no one talks about this anymore, because there are too many things for the first time, and there is nothing to be proud of at all.
"The asteroid that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs, who do you say is bigger than this asteroid?"
"It is said that the energy released by that impact is equivalent to 100 trillion tons of TNT, which wiped out the dinosaurs and caused a mass extinction."
Liu Peiqiang smiled and talked about the extinction of the dinosaurs.
"It's been too long, and who knows, maybe the dinosaurs didn't die because of an asteroid impact at all."
Lu Qingwei shook his head and said, the cause of the mass extinction of dinosaurs, scientists have many speculations, and the asteroid impact on the earth and the extinction of dinosaurs is just one of the conjectures, as for the facts, I don't know at all.
"Of course we don't know, but this time the asteroid hit Mars, we can measure how powerful the asteroid impact is, and if we really want to exterminate the dinosaurs, we can also calculate the power of the asteroid and comet back then."
Liu Peiqiang glanced at Lu Qingwei, and then turned his head to look at the asteroid in the void.
"The mass of this asteroid is only 450 million tons, which is very small, and I guess we may not be able to get anything too useful, and if we can, it would be better to be able to drag a 10-billion-ton asteroid to hit Mars, and then it would definitely be better."
Lu Qingwei touched his chin, thought about it and said.
"Then you have to hurry up and develop a more powerful second-generation anti-gravity engine, an asteroid of 10 billion tons, maybe it will smash Mars."
Wang Songling on the side also interjected, the wait was very long, and the chat time passed.
"Don't worry, these 10 billion tons of asteroids are insignificant compared to Mars, and when an egg collides with a stone, it can break the stone?"
Lu Qingwei is very confident, although the planet and the asteroid, although there is only one word difference, but the difference in quality is not far away, even if it is the largest asteroid Ceres and Mars, there is still a very huge gap, let alone other asteroids.
Time is passing slowly, but 30 minutes is a long time for everyone.
When the asteroid became larger and clearer in the field of vision, and the sirens on the spacecraft began to sound constantly, everyone stopped talking, took out their telescopes to look at Mars, looked at the set impact location, and prepared to watch the man-made impact.
In outer space of Mars, although the asteroid has a mass of 450 million tons, it is still an irregular size.
At this time, its speed is very fast, and it is still flipping, and the speed of its autobiography is also very fast, like a wild horse that has escaped from the reins, and it crashes straight towards Mars.
