There has been no such global experiment on this earthquake, or we are not able to do such an experiment for the time being, so there is no way to deduce the relevant data.

Moreover, the development of marine resources by the Taipu civilization is still in a very rudimentary state, and if it can really develop marine resources, it will theoretically alleviate the lack of rare earths to a great extent.

"Secondly, in addition to a series of changes in marine mineral resources, there is another point." The geologist on the stage stretched out his second finger: "After the earthquake, due to the mutual squeezing of the plates, in 150,000 years, near the equator of this planet, the world's highest peak appeared, as well as a large super plateau with an average altitude of up to 10,000 meters!" ”

A satellite image was displayed on the screen, showing a plateau near the equator, where there was still a certain amount of snow due to the high altitude.

In this state of high gravity, the appearance of such a high-altitude plateau has actually attracted the attention of many geologists from the beginning. The higher the gravity of the planet, the terrain should be more gentle, but the plateau of this planet is higher than the earth, which is simply contrary to common sense. But if this plateau is unusually young and artificially born, then there is a more reasonable explanation.

This plateau area called "Emilia" is located in the territory of six countries including Austria and Lai, and due to the fierce mutual squeezing of the plates, there are still small-scale earthquakes, coupled with the high altitude, the air pressure is too low, and it is not suitable for the survival of the Taipu people.

Therefore, this plateau is inhabited, has become the dividing line of various countries, and has not been really developed.

But according to the human eye......

Zhang Yuan's pupils dilated slightly, and an idea suddenly popped out of his mind.

That's exactly what it is...... A natural rocket launch base!

A total of five conditions for the location of satellite launch centers have to be considered.

The first is that the lower the latitude, the better, and the lower the latitude, to be able to harness the power of the planet's rotation. Launching a rocket near the equator, the initial speed of the spacecraft is large, and the fuel is saved, which can effectively reduce the launch cost and difficulty.

This plateau happens to be near the equator!

The second is the climatic conditions, this plateau due to the relatively high terrain, dry climate, less precipitation, good air visibility. This planet, on the whole, is quite humid due to the vastness of the ocean, and near the equator, there are not many dry areas like this.

The third is the topographical conditions, which are open and flat, and the terrain is relatively high relative to the surrounding area.

Fourth, traffic conditions. For the time being, this point is not quite in line with the fact that the plateau is still in an uncultivated state, and the traffic is certainly not very good at keeping up.

Fifth, safety conditions, the area around the satellite launch center must be sparsely populated to ensure safety after a failed launch. Therefore, it is impossible for the launch base to be built near the downtown area.

Although the traffic environment of this plateau at an altitude of more than 10,000 meters is not very good, there is no doubt that it meets four of the conditions......

And there is also the added benefit that some of the waterways in the middle have an unusually abundant amount of water, and it is possible to build large-scale hydropower stations, and even solve the energy problem at the same time.

When the experts on the stage said this, they were already excited: "To sum up, if we follow this objective environment, our scientists have carried out a series of calculations ......"

"The content of the calculation is that with the technical means of mankind at the beginning of the 21st century, if a rocket launch base is really built on this plateau, whether it will be able to push satellites into space and open a real space age!"

There was silence in the room, and everyone was sitting on their knots, waiting for the final conclusion.

This conclusion is very important, if the Taipu civilization still has no way to enter the space age after combining so many objective factors, then it can only be said that earthquakes are likely to occur only naturally.

If it was the Enlightener who caused the earthquake, the relevant "development steps" should be calculated, so that the "steps" would not be too high to make the low-level civilization simply unable to step on. Otherwise, what's the point of this help?

The expert didn't sell it either, and directly came to the conclusion: "After discussion and analysis, we believe that it is a little reluctant, but with the technology of a level 0.7 civilization, it can be done!" ”

With a "boom", the conference room was boiling, and even a slight applause rang out!

A little reluctantly, and simply impossible, are two completely different concepts.

In other words, this "great" earthquake is indeed most likely the Enlightener civilization, which created the conditions for the Tepu people to enter the space age.

It's just that, for now, the Taipu civilization has not been discovered.

This series of operations simply made Zhang Yuan stunned, this is simply ...... It's violent!

He seemed to see ...... A very distant 150,000 years ago, the Enlightener civilization passed by here and suddenly found that this civilization in the primitive era was too poor to enter the space age in the future.

So, they managed to trigger a strong earthquake and create this plateau, turning the "completely impossible" into a small possibility.

Then walk away in style!

As for whether the Tepu civilization can enter the space age or not, and whether it will take advantage of the conditions created by these things, there is no need to think about it...... At least the environmental factors have undergone a series of modifications, and they are no longer impossibly bad.

The chances of this are high!

Li Zhendong suddenly sighed on the side: "What an interesting civilization, I do feel that this civilization does have a certain amount of goodwill, not the so-called 'organic harvester'...... In the world, people always have to have some higher pursuits, although I don't know if this strange move is considered a higher pursuit...... All in all interesting. Fun should be regarded as the highest pursuit, right? ”

"Anyway, it shouldn't be too much ...... to call them 'inspirers'"

Zhang Yuan couldn't help but take a sip of water, calmed down his inner emotions, and said, "Yes, it's really a fortunate thing that there are such pioneers in the galaxy...... But to trigger such a plate movement, with the level of human science, there is no way to do it, right? ”

Li Zhendong thought for a while and calculated some numbers on the paper with a pencil: "If you force it to do it, you will definitely be able to do it, but it is a bit difficult, it is nothing more than getting more nuclear bombs!" Think about it, didn't the former Tsarist nuclear bomb, with a yield of 50 million tons, translate the plates of the entire Eurasian continent by 9 mm? If I can make hundreds of millions of these nuclear bombs, oh, this number is my nonsense...... Anyway, it should be able to force the plate to shift. ”

"But the use of nuclear bombs is simply too rude, and in practice, it could lead to a mass extinction of species, and even the destruction of the entire ecosystem...... I don't know how the Enlightener got it, it's really a great power brought by technology! ”

"I thought of a better way...... Use multiple nuclear bombs to explode together beneath the earth's crust and pry plates, or the Enlightener civilization digs deep into the earth and causes an explosion in the mantle layer, which then creates a chain reaction. These are all possible. Li Zhendong said as he spoke, discussing with other experts with great interest.

"But there is a weapon, the continental shelf oscillator! It is a natural phenomenon that causes vibrations during the rapid release of energy from the earth's crust, during which it produces seismic waves. ”

Zhang Yuan didn't want to listen to their nonsense, and then turned to the scientific researcher on the stage and asked, "Professor Lu, I have another question, have you found any good mineral resources on this plateau?" If anything, it can really be said to kill three birds with one stone, on the one hand, to solve the problem of lack of rare earths, and on the other hand, it can also lure certain countries to develop this long-neglected plateau area. ”

"To mine minerals, you have to build infrastructure, and when all the infrastructure is in place, there will be no problem in building a rocket launch base."
