April 10, 2039 A.D.

Jupiter orbit, the capital of the galaxy, the office of Muyu Aerospace Science and Technology Group's overseas business center.

Hua Kejing was chatting with his old partners Li Chenjing and Mao Xianyu and others.

A mouthful of Trump's Li Chenjing opened his mouth first, "Immortal board, Master Jupiter broke out again." ”

Hua Kejing smiled, this is a big scene that cannot be seen on the earth.

Do the math, so far this year, the biggest storm in the solar system is the current Jupiter storm.

The storm covers a diameter of about 212 times the diameter of the Earth and has a top speed of more than 560 km/h, which is more than twice the force of the Earth's 17 winds.

Of course, this storm will not affect the galactic capital of outer space, otherwise these old fellows would be so light and light.

Mao Xianyu also said that he would like to thank the company for the construction project, otherwise they would not have had the opportunity to witness a huge Jupiter storm up close.

As a veteran employee of Yijing Construction, Mao Xianyu has already become one of the main backbones of the group.

The reason why he came to Jupiter with Li Chenjing this time was because of the "company's construction project" he just mentioned, that is, the base construction project of Jupiter's four major moons, referred to as the Ganyme base project.

Jupiter, as the first of the eight planets in the solar system, is very different from Earth.

She is first of all a gaseous giant planet, without a physical surface, mainly composed of 84 hydrogen and 14 helium and 2 trace amounts of methane, water, ammonia, etc., with a core temperature of more than 35,700 degrees Celsius.

In the foreseeable future, if human civilization develops by leaps and bounds and enjoys a truly high-quality standard of living, then the establishment of a resource base and a spacecraft base in the Jupiter system will be an inevitable choice.

Because the energy consumption of human civilization in the future will be thousands of times that of today, and in the entire solar system, only Jupiter (and perhaps Saturn) will be able to meet the huge energy needs of mankind in the future.

Back to the present, if the Galaxy Capital wants to gain a foothold in the Jupiter system, the first problem is how to ensure a large and lasting energy supply, and the second is the production of basic materials.

On the issue of energy security,

Although Jupiter contains a large amount of deuterium and helium-3, the sum of its masses accounts for more than 70 of Jupiter's total mass, and even more than the mass of 220 Earths.

However, because the density of gaseous matter in Jupiter's interior increases with the increase of depth, only the outer layer is the atmosphere with hydrogen as the main body, and the lower layer is liquid hydrogen, and the core may be liquid and solid metallic hydrogen (liquid or solid hydrogen becomes a conductor under the high pressure of millions of atmospheres, because conductivity is the property of metal, so it is called metallic hydrogen).

Therefore, with the current human science and technology, it is impossible to penetrate deeply, and can only try to mine deuterium and helium-3 on the top of Jupiter's atmosphere.

Of course, even if mining is not easy, such access to resources is still heaven for humans who are skilled in controlled nuclear fusion.

A few decades ago, people would never have imagined that in this era, electricity resources were almost free and almost unlimited.

As for the production and supply of basic materials, it must rely on Jupiter's numerous natural satellites, after all, it is far from the Earth, and "interstellar express" is absolutely unrealistic.

In fact, in the second and third phases of the construction plan of the Galaxy Capital, the base construction projects of Jupiter's major natural satellites have been expanded.

Take Jupiter's four major moons as an example, pull out any one, and they are all celestial bodies that can be comparable to the Earth in size.

Among them, whether it is water resources or the reserves of various metal minerals, it is enough to support and even recreate the capital of N galaxies.

Therefore, what human beings need to do now is to copy the set of building a lunar base or a Mars base, and then make a transformation according to local conditions.

When it comes to the construction of the Woodmede base, as the world's leading construction company and the world's top interstellar engineering contractor, Yijing Construction Group naturally has to take the lead for its brother company.

"When will my senior sister and my nephew come over?"

During the chat, Hua Kejing asked about Lu Jieshi's situation again.

After so many years, they still continue to use the earliest titles, and as the closest partners, investors, and comrades-in-arms, the relationship between Li Chenjing and Hua Kejing is naturally quite good.

Li Chenjing smiled: "They will be to Jupiter next week." ”

There is no way, the construction project of the Ganymede base is not something that can be completed in a day or two, a year or two.

Li Chenjing and Mao Xianyu are ready to stay in the Jupiter system for a long time.

Therefore, as a family member, Lu Jieshi must not be willing to stay on the earth alone.

You must know that since the three of them jointly founded a construction company, and since Lu Jieshi was still more than 200 pounds, the senior sister couldn't do without Li Chenjing for a day.

In addition, their son is graduating this year, so he followed his parents to the Jupiter system, and while helping, it can be regarded as an experience.

What a family carnival.

So during the conversation, Li Chenjing made fun of Hua Kejing, "Who let you get married late, otherwise you can also pull Le Yan over to do construction together." ”

Hua Kejing shook his head and said, "Le Yan still has to go to school, and besides, the conditions here are more difficult, so it's better for the little girl to stay on the earth." ”

"What's so hard, you just spoil the child too much." Li Chenjing did not agree with Hua Kejing's statement, "Besides, do you know what the top tourism project is now?" ”

"The Mars travel project of the old American space fork company - climb Mount Olympus, visit Mariner Canyon." Hua Kejing replied.

Indeed, with the gradual improvement of the supporting construction of the Mars base, because it has the highest mountain in the solar system and the deepest canyon in the solar system, the magnificent extraterrestrial natural landscape on Mars has become a tourist attraction that human beings on the earth yearn for infinitely.

So far, more than 100 people have participated in related tourism projects.

Of course, because of the huge cost, such tourism projects are not affordable for ordinary people.

PS Mariner Canyon is located in the eastern part of the Tarsis Plateau on Mars, with a length of 4,000 kilometers and a maximum depth of more than 7 kilometers, with extremely steep terrain and a complex canyon system.

Mount Olympus is located in the western hemisphere of Mars, near the vast Tarsis volcanic plateau. It has a gentle slope shaped like a huge shield, and the base of the volcano is 600 kilometers in diameter, which is larger than the land area of the United Kingdom, with a height of more than 27 kilometers and an average height of 22 kilometers, which is three times the height of Mount Everest on Earth, and the crater is 80 kilometers in diameter and about 3 kilometers deep.

"Hehe......" Li Chenjing smiled, with a mysterious expression on his face, "I've already thought about it, when the time comes, I'll have to take my son to drill a hole in Europa's ice cap, put down the hook, and see if I can catch alien fish." ”

"Your imagination is really coquettish." Mao Xianyu on the side was speechless, "Do you know how thick the ice cover is?" Dozens of kilometers away. ”

"I care about him for dozens of kilometers, and our father and son are determined to be the first people to fish for Europa."

"You're not afraid of encountering interstellar monsters."

Despite all the nonsense, Europa is indeed the most likely place in the entire solar system to have life outside of Earth.

It's just that interstellar fishing is just a joke about Li Chenjing, and the exploration of Europa's life is naturally done by a special scientific team.

I salute every friend who has been with me all the way, thank you for your support!
