"Six more nuclear power plants?" Chen Mengchuan looked at Toni.

The latter nodded: "It's not that I want to, it's that preparations have already begun." You've already done your selection. At the moment, our energy supply is abundant, but as more metal smelters begin to work, the electricity needed for the entire planet is no longer enough. ”

"Has the graphene solar photovoltaic power plant started to be made?" Chen Mengchuan asked.

"Preparations have already begun, there will be 128 solar photovoltaic power plants orbiting Mars, and there are several jobs here, some of which are for graphene production, and some are for the construction of photovoltaic power plants. Wanyu told me that the earth is already producing multi-armed crabs at full speed, and 100,000 multi-armed crabs will be given in half a month, but this is also half a month later. ”

"It seems that the quantity and quality of uranium ore that we have found on Mars right now is very good." Chen Mengchuan smiled.

Toni nodded: "That's true, that's why I'm going to start building energy supplies on a large scale." These six large nuclear power plants can provide enough energy, each of which can cover a large area of metal smelting plants in their own area, and then plus the continuous completion of graphene solar photovoltaic plants, in about three months, our metal melting work will be on track. ”

Chen Mengchuan nodded, he was satisfied with this speed.

When the metal smelter is in full swing, the captured asteroids will be continuously decomposed and smelted into countless metals and other material resources.

If these resources are obtained from the earth, I am afraid that no matter how big the financial resources of Tianzhi Technology are, they will be stretched, because there are too many. The asteroid capture was the first to get on track.

The number of asteroid capture ships has increased to thousands, and after upgrading the space crossing space folding, the speed has been increased again, and more and more asteroids have been captured on Mars, and then they are cut, crushed, and sent to metal smelters one by one, and then purified metal raw materials.

Some time ago, Chen Mengchuan began to prepare for the exploration and development plan of the solar system. Today's Mars, although Tianzhi Technology has been here for a short time, it can be said that it has taken root, one by one, bases, metal smelters, nuclear power plants, exploration bases, and mineral resource bases are constantly expanding, and a large number of multi-armed crabs are continuously produced and soon put into the entire Mars.

In this process of continuous development, energy is undoubtedly the most important premise, although the energy problem of the multi-armed crab does not face the problem of energy shortage or energy shortage under a large number of plans, but it has also received some vague restrictions in terms of energy.

Toni started the construction of both above-ground and above-ground energy supply stations, with the aim of building them as quickly as possible.

Each of these buildings and facilities on the Mars base is a large consumer of electricity, whether it is a metal smelter or an exploration base or base.

While the overall infrastructure of Mars is covering at a uniform and orderly pace, Chen Mengchuan and others also set their sights on some farther places early.

The first steps of the solar system exploration and development program have only now been taken.

"It's time to spare some resources for exploration of other planets." Chen Mengchuan spoke slowly.

Toni nodded, "Then it's Jupiter." ”

"Yes." Chen Mengchuan confirmed.

Jupiter is a very eye-catching planet in the entire solar system, the first is because Jupiter is large enough, although its density is not particularly large, but its volume, its equatorial diameter is the largest.

At present, NASA knows the most about Jupiter in the human world.

NASA has a lot of exploration of Jupiter, and NATA's Jupiter experts have judged through observation and data analysis that the composition of Jupiter's upper atmosphere is calculated as a percentage of the volume of gas molecules, about 88~92% is hydrogen, and 8-12% is helium. From a chemical point of view, helium is 4 times the atomic weight of hydrogen, and when the composition is described by mass, elements of different atomic weights have different proportions. About 75% of Jupiter's mass is made up of hydrogen, 24% of its mass is helium, and other elements probably account for less than 1% of the remaining mass.

There is no question of what the internal structure of Jupiter is, but many NASA scientists have judged that the denser elements contained in Jupiter should still be dominated by hydrogen, and if you judge and guess from the conclusion that the entire planet is formed, there will be roughly 71% hydrogen, 24% helium, and 5% other elements.

Many of the spacecraft's instrumental data, based on spectroscopic and infrared facilities, can be observed to contain trace amounts of methane, water vapor, ammonia, and silicon-based compounds in Jupiter's atmosphere. NASA scientists also believe that Jupiter also contains trace amounts of carbon, ethane, hydrogen sulfide, neon, oxygen, phosphine and sulfur.

Chen Mengchuan has always been more unrestrained about these. He believes that all this information about Jupiter is based on the analysis and judgment of observational data, whether this is the case, you still need to go to Jupiter, to really go deeper, in order to collect the most authentic and credible data.

"I'm going to start with Europa." Chen Mengchuan smiled and opened his mouth first.

"Europa!" Toni laughed too.

"Yes, let's go to Europa first and try our cryogenic exploration spacecraft, and by the way, see if Europa really has life in the subglacial ocean."

Chen Mengchuan's purposeful spacecraft made it clear that the main body of Europa is very similar to that of terrestrial planets such as Earth and Mars, and is mainly composed of silicate rocks. And according to the data of several NASA probes, Europa's surface is covered with a large amount of water, up to hundreds of kilometers thick, and its upper layer is a frozen ice crust structure, and under the ice crust is a liquid ocean.

The magnetic field data collected by many exploration spacecraft that have orbited Jupiter over the past few decades suggests that Europa is capable of generating an induced magnetic field on its own under the influence of Jupiter's magnetic field, a discovery that suggests that there is likely to be a conductive layer similar to that of saltwater oceans within its surface, and from this series of comprehensive data, Europa may finally have a metallic iron core! The deeper the liquid ocean, the warmer the temperature.

This is where the idea of Europa could have life.

Chen Mengchuan did not know if Europa had life, but in the dream, the human regime had many deep explorations of Europa, but the data and information of these explorations had not been released to ordinary people. Chen Mengchuan does not have access to information in this area, so he does not know the results of human exploration of Europa.

If there is no news, then it is news worth paying attention to. Chen Mengchuan is very sure that the human regime is likely to be hiding a lot of hidden information.

Europa, does it really have life?
