648 Change of plan (2)
Ye Han was taken aback, the extreme environment of Mercury doesn't need to be used as a set for hell, how can there be colonial conditions?
He couldn't figure out how Xiao Yuan and Chi Wei knew about this plan, which was bound to be classified as a secret. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
But to Ye Han's surprise, this news is not a secret at all, and the official attitude is very strange, that is, it does not admit or deny it, which is a bit of a desire to cover up.
Ye Han felt that this news might have been deliberately leaked by the Northern Capital, deliberately directing the eyes of the Al Qaeda group to Mercury, or it was possible that on the contrary, it was a smoke bomb released by the Yankees to deliberately mislead the Northern Capital.
Because the news that there is water at the poles of Mercury was first released by the Americans.
However, although Mercury's environment is relatively harsh, Mercury is composed of 70 percent metal and 30 percent silicate, and the highest metal deposit content is the highest in the solar system.
According to the existing theory of galaxy formation, when the galaxy is formed, the heavier the atomic weight, the easier it is to gather towards the center of the galaxy, according to this theory, Mercury must have huge reserves of uranium, which can not only make nuclear weapons, but also an important raw material for the nuclear industry, and is also a material for the manufacture of depleted uranium bombs, which can be described as a lot of use.
The planet has limited resources, and if you can build an industrial base on Mercury, mining Mercury uranium seems to be a good option.
In addition to the fruitful infrastructure construction of Beiyuezhou, the military construction is also extraordinary.
At present, the military has two space bases, one is the Moon Palace base that orbits the moon, which is the home port of the North Yuezhou fleet; The second is the Tiangong base, which was expanded by Tiangong, which is the intermediate station for manned spacecraft to fly to the moon.
Each of the two military ports has a space fleet stationed in it, which is the two major nodes in China's space defense system.
In addition to this, there is a space city under construction near the moon.
The Moon Palace and the Heavenly Palace are all pure military bases, while the Space City is the opposite, a space city used to migrate to humans.
It's a pity that Europa's change has forced Beiyuezhou to concentrate resources on the military industry, and the construction of the space city has just begun and has to be stopped, and it is still unknown when it will be able to restart.
At the mention of Europa, Ye Han remembered the failed Second Expedition and immediately asked about the aliens and Europa.
Xiao Chi and the others were originally chattering, but now they opened up the conversation.
The aliens have nothing to say, the aliens entrenched in Ganymede and Ganymede are doing their best to operate and have regained their footing, and the environment of the two moons is changing with each passing day, and the harsh environment is evolving to a livable level.
Europa, which is full of water, has been abandoned by aliens to a limited extent, and it is unknown if there is a follow-up plan.
In the current situation, it won't be long before aliens can turn Ganymede and Ganymede into new homes.
The base group originally planned to form an expeditionary force to conquer Jupiter and completely eliminate the aliens who occupied the magpie's nest, but Ganymede was crossing the asteroid belt, and fearing that Ganymede would hit the Earth, the international expeditionary fleet abandoned the plan to expedition Jupiter and instead went all out to intercept Ganymede.
The International Expeditionary Fleet is currently active in the asteroid belt, but so far there is no sign of stopping Callisto, and several countries, including China, have expressed doubts about whether the International Fleet can stop Callisto.
It is said that the Northern Capital is considering forming a Third Fleet and going to the asteroid belt to carry out a blocking mission, but there has been no action, and I don't know if the rumors are true or not.
It is also reported that the Northern Capital has not been able to take action for a long time, and it is impossible to find a weapon that can deal with Europa.
The highest yield nuclear bomb in human history is only 100 million tons, and the impact energy of the Penglai is equivalent to 300 million tons of TNT, and it is not impossible to make a higher yield nuclear weapon, but the technical difficulty is not much lower.
This is what the International Expeditionary Fleet did in the asteroid belt, and before the fleet departed, the Al Qaeda group placed an additional order for nuclear-powered engines, and built two engineering ships with these nuclear-powered engines.
The tail of this thing is densely packed with engines, obviously it is just a small spaceship with a displacement of several thousand tons, and the engines on the ship are enough to propel a 100,000-ton space battleship!
At the front end of the engineering ship is a large metal shovel, so it is also vividly called a space bulldozer.
Moreover, the method of using this engineering ship is to find an asteroid of suitable quality, use the bulldozer shovel at the front of the battleship to top the asteroid, push the asteroid at full power, and throw the asteroid into the predetermined orbit of Europa, and collide with Jupiter Zero.
Well, it's the same as a bulldozer.
Unfortunately, the right asteroid was not so easy to find, and the international fleet only carried out three impacts, one of which failed and two succeeded, and the two successful impacts did not cause any damage to Europa, because the asteroid was broken up by the alien fleet's fine light into pieces that could not threaten Ganymede before it could touch the edge of Ganymede.
This result caused the International Expeditionary Fleet to suffer so much that it temporarily suspended the operation of the engineering ship and began to seriously consider the possibility of a metal impact.
With the current industrial capacity of the moon, although it is not easy to get together hundreds of thousands of tons of metal, it is not difficult, if it can completely defeat Europa, it is worth hundreds of thousands of tons of metal.
The only problem is that the international base does not have such a high production capacity, and it is possible to gather so many metals only by relying on the smelting capacity of Beiyuezhou, which is also very painful for the base group.
Americans firmly believe that fine light, like lasers, is an energy weapon that human beings have not yet mastered, and there must be some special material that can resist the cutting of fine light, at least to a certain extent, to counteract the power of fine light.
But if you don't even know what fine light is, how can you know what material is effective? I only know that except for the dense texture of the metal, it is difficult for other materials to resist fine light cutting.
Ye Han didn't know that when he and Xiao Chi were talking, the negotiation team sent by the Yankees had arrived in the northern capital and held a series of meetings with the northern capital on the issue of the Qiongzhou launch site.
The Yankees were ruthless, and prepared to use the Qiongzhou launch site to send up to 100,000 tons of depleted uranium into space, build a giant armor-piercing bullet core with a length-diameter ratio of more than 30, and install a nuclear-powered engine on this super bullet core, and use this thing to hit Europa and solve the threat of Europa at once.
Very whimsical plan, but to hit Europa with 100,000 tons of depleted uranium...... It seems that there is a good chance of success!
