Chapter 338
In the future, all the people in the Ming Empire want to get contribution points, as long as they can create value for the Ming Empire, they will get contribution points, for example, you can get contribution points for practicing martial arts and literature, for example, maintenance workers will also get contribution points for repairing various machines, and even women will get contribution points when they have children, anyway, there are many other ways to get contributions in the Ming Empire, as long as you contribute to the country, you will get contribution points.
The contribution point also plays a very large role, in addition to obtaining a knighthood, it also plays a huge role in the use of public transportation facilities in the whole society.
In the blink of an eye, another five or six years have passed, during this time, the Ming Empire can be described as very calm, nothing big has happened, and the Mars program is also continuing, the asteroid belt of the solar system is much less dense than five years ago, and those asteroids with relatively large volumes have disappeared.
In fact, most of these relatively large asteroids have been transported to Mars, and the volume of unloading Mars is much larger than before, but even so, the volume of Mars is only about 28% of that of Earth, and the gravity of Mars is now only 1/2 of that of Earth, which is about half of gravity.
However, since the remaining asteroids in the asteroid belt are generally small except for the asteroids in the mine, the rest of the asteroids are generally small and have little impact on the Mars program, so if you want to continue to increase the volume and gravity of Mars, the asteroid belt can no longer do anything.
Therefore, in order to continue the smooth implementation of the Mars plan, a new step of the plan is about to begin, according to the implementation plan of the Mars plan, Zhu Lei's target is Europa, one of Jupiter's moons.
Although Europa is one of the largest moons of Jupiter, with a diameter of more than 3,600 kilometers, it is only half smaller than the original Mars, and Europa is a lava world, full of magma flows, the earth's crust is very unstable, and even the temperature of Io's geocentricity is higher than that of the Earth's geocentric.
And because Io is very close to Jupiter, it is very difficult to get Io out of Jupiter's orbit, but even so, Zhu Lei's Yongan Group and the Ming Empire have been preparing for this for five or six years, and during this period, the scientists of the Ming Empire have gone through countless computer simulations.
After all, compared with the last time Ceres, this time the risk needs to be greater, after all, the diameter of the entire Io has more than 3,600 kilometers, and the previous Vulcan is only less than 1,000 kilometers, so the diameter of Io is more than 3.5 times that of Ceres, and in terms of volume and weight, Ceres and Io are far from comparable.
And even if humans succeed in getting Europa out of Jupiter's orbit and successfully flying to Mars, the danger is also very great, after all, the diameter of Mars is only more than 6000 kilometers, and Mu Wei still has more than 3600 kilometers, it is conceivable that if human beings do not use special means, then the consequences will definitely be eggs hitting stones, and Mars will definitely be blown up, so before Mars and Io collide, human beings must use special means to make the collision of the two planets not so intense, Otherwise, the consequences are really unimaginable.
After a long voyage, Zhu Lei and the space battleship involved in the operation finally arrived near Io, this time to participate in the movement of Io to Mars is not a plan on Ceres, in fact, the plan to promote Ceres to hit Mars last time is just a foreshadowing of this plan, after all, this plan is too dangerous, and the Ming Empire has to be cautious and careful.
The person in charge of this plan is still the same as last time, Zhu Lei himself is the same, and the fleet of the Vermilion Bird Army participating in the plan has a total of nearly 2,000 space warships, and the scale of these warships is quite large, the smallest is more than a thousand meters long, and the largest length is more than 3000 meters, and the tonnage has reached more than 8 million tons. Small and medium-sized spaceships don't do much at all.
However, for the sake of the safety of this plan, in addition to the more than 2,000 large spaceships in the hands of the Suzaku Army.
After all, Zhu Lei and the Ming Empire did not want to make a mistake when moving Europa, and Io would directly fall to Jupiter, or deviate from the expected orbit to other planets or the sun, then a series of efforts made by human beings before would be in vain.
Of course, if humans want to rely on more than 100,000 spaceships to drag Europa, it would not be possible without the help of other external forces.
You must know that Europa is not Ceres, its weight has exceeded 100 billion tons, and Ceres is only more than 9 billion billion tons, and its weight is more than 10 times worse.
Although the science and technology of the Ming Empire has made full progress in the past few years, the very driving force is more than double that of dragging Ceres before, but it is still impossible to drag Europa, but fortunately, human beings can also use external forces in addition to their own strength, Jupiter, the main star of Europa, and the power of the sun, the most gravitational planet in the solar system, otherwise even if the spaceship increases tenfold, it is impossible to drag Europa.
You must know that according to the calculations of scientists and the most advanced supercomputers on the earth, if you want to drag Europa, not counting the others, the energy required to take on the responsibility will be very huge, and at the current speed of human energy creation, but human beings have been busy for thousands of years, even if human beings have broken through controllable nuclear power technology.
Therefore, if humans want to drag Europa, they must use external forces to do it, otherwise it is impossible to achieve it.
After all the spaceships have arrived at the designated location, the first thing is a variety of super alloy fibers, hanging on Io, although the temperature on Io is very high, and there is often volcanic activity, and according to the computer's inference, once you start dragging Io, then the volcanic activity on Io will be very intense, and even the magma erupted by the volcano on Io is likely to be sprayed directly into space.
So according to the calculated data, these super alloy fibers of human beings are no longer the alloy fibers of the time when Ceres was held five years ago, these alloy fibers are the latest products of human beings in the past few years, and his strength is very large, nearly ten times stronger than when he was used in Ceres before, in addition to the strength, the temperature level of these new products is incomparable with the old products.
These super alloy fibers can be used normally in high temperatures of more than 6,000 degrees and will not melt, but the cost of these super alloy fibers is also quite expensive, but it is all worth it for the Mars program.
This time to drag Io, humans did not use planetary propulsion, after all, Io's crust is too fragile to withstand the huge pressure caused by dragging Io and the planet's thrusters.
However, although these planet thrusters are not installed on Europa, it cannot be said that these planet thrusters are useless, because in addition to the nearly 2,000 large space warships of the Vermilion Bird Army led by Zhu Lei, these planet thrusters have also been arranged, and they use super fibers to drag Europa like spaceships, and the number of planetary thrusters is very large, more than 5,000, and these planetary thrusters used a lot more when dragging Ceres before.
Although Zhu Lei arranged so many spaceships for this operation, it is still quite difficult to move Io, according to the calculations of scientists, the time required to move Io is at least three years, and it may be more, it can be said that for the Mars plan, human beings can be said to have gambled on their own fate.
After all, if this plan fails, even if Europa does not turn to Earth and Mars, there will be any harm to the solar system, but judging from the current situation of mankind, it will be very difficult to start such a plan again, because there is no second asteroid belt for human use in the entire solar system, and there is no second Europa that can be used to change the magnetic field of Mars.
In addition, the various manpower, material resources and energy used by human beings cannot be gathered in a short period of time, and even if human beings want to restart similar projects, it will take more than 20 years for human beings to start again.
If you really want to draw more than 20 years to re-prepare, then there is no point in human beings, it is better to use 20 years to prepare, and then directly transform Venus is more cost-effective, because according to scientists, even if human beings want to transform Venus, the preparation time is only more than 20 years, so this plan can be said to be related to the fate of mankind, not to mention such a large planet, if it is like the earth crashes.
Although with the current technology of human beings, human beings will not directly destroy human beings, and human beings can destroy Europa before it hits the earth, but Europa is such a large planet, even if it is destroyed, the fragments it produces are enough for human beings to bear, so this plan must be extremely careful.
After all, no one can bear such a heavy responsibility for the consequences, so don't talk about others at this moment, even Zhu Lei himself is very nervous, because the fate of the entire human race is in his hands, if there is a slight mistake, then he will become a sinner who makes mankind go to the abyss.
Finally, it was almost time to start, so he turned on the very top communicator and began to speak.
At the moment when he turned on the communicator, he appeared on all the ships in the fleet.
"Hello everyone, I'm Zhu Lei, this plan will continue for about four years, so it is very boring during this time, and after the plan begins, everyone has to raise the spirit, after all, we have been preparing for the Mars program for nearly 20 years, the plan started from scratch, and countless manpower and material resources were spent in the middle, and the Mars program was carried out very smoothly before, but we can't be proud.
And now what we have to do is to carry out the plan smoothly, merge Io and Mars into one, so that Mars can regain the magnetic field that can block the solar wind, and the volume of Mars has become larger, so all of us present in this operation have a great responsibility, once there is a deviation, Europa is likely to directly crash into Earth, or other planets in the solar system, which we do not want to see.
So in the next four years, we have to deal with this matter wholeheartedly, although it may be quite boring and boring in the middle, and even bloodshed and sacrifice, after all, dragging such a huge planet, many things are beyond our control, all we have to do is to calculate the feasibility of the plan to the greatest extent, and to provide you with security to the greatest extent.
But the plan has come to this point, and we can't give up no matter what, not only for our own reputation but also for future generations, so if you can't stick to it, then please stand up, I won't force it, I've said this many times in the previous five years, and now the plan is about to start, and it's the last time I ask that. After saying this, Zhu Lei stopped for more than ten minutes, and no one said that he wanted to quit.
With Zhu Lei, he continued: "Okay, I won't say much, everyone get ready to start!" ”
As soon as Zhu Lei's words fell, suddenly the entire space near Jupiter began to get busy, a large net composed of super alloy fibers, all of a sudden net of Europa, and then all kinds of unmanned aerial vehicles, as well as the operators of various spaceships began to get busy, some were overhauling their own spaceships, and some were checking whether there was anything wrong with the large net composed of super alloy fibers, and the process lasted for three days, after all, Europa was not Ceres, and the work that needed to be done was not comparable to Ceres at that time. And the workload is also very huge.
Three days later, with Zhu Lei's order, all the spaceships of Vermilion Bird Jun began to start slowly, and then after the entire net was tightened, they began to adjust their direction and fly towards the direction of the sun.
So if you want to move Io, you must use the gravitational pull of the sun again and again to make Io get away from Jupiter's gravity, and there can be no slightest relaxation between them, and the angle of force of the fleet is different each time, as time goes by, Io also begins to change its orbit little by little, compared to Jupiter's other moons, Io is too close to Jupiter, so the difficulty of dragging Io is really greater, but the emperor finally lived up to his wishes in the second year, Io is finally out of Jupiter's orbit.
