Chapter 301: Preliminary Preparations

The next day's meeting went on as usual, but because the transformation goal has been determined, the content of today's discussion has been completely different from yesterday, and the feasible plan for transforming Mars has begun to be discussed from today, after all, although many people have a preliminary plan for the transformation of Mars before this, but this is only a preliminary plan, there is no detailed plan and no detailed specific time, so these must be determined in this meeting, so as not to have all kinds of problems when the time comes to start the transformation, After all, transforming Mars is not a trivial matter, it is a major matter that has invested the national strength of the entire Ming Empire, and it will not even be easier than an interstellar war.

Moreover, the success or failure of this transformation is also related to the future of mankind, so it is necessary to have a detailed plan before the transformation, so that if there is a problem during the transformation process, it can be solved immediately.

Moreover, the number of people attending the meeting this time was much larger than yesterday, because today the military and government of the Ming Empire sent special personnel to attend this meeting, and even the current cabinet chief assistant of the Ming Empire also came to attend this meeting.

After all, this meeting hailed the goals of the Ming Dynasty in the next few decades, so as the current cabinet chief assistant of the Ming Empire, as well as the members of various cabinets, as well as military personnel, must be present for such a thing.

After all, there is nothing more important in the Ming Empire than this matter now.

The meeting of the transformation of the Mars program, the most important thing is that those who study Mars and have their own transformation methods of individuals or laboratories, put forward their own methods, and then let everyone to verify, and then when all the transformation plans are demonstrated, the best method will be selected, and then all the scientists present will supplement, and the final conclusion can be used as the plan for the transformation of the Mars program.

Of course, the plan obtained in this way is actually very imperfect, and then it will be further refined, and then verified by the computer after refinement, and calculate the risks inside, and then put forward the risk response, and wait until the plan is further supplemented, and the Mars program will slowly begin to be implemented.

The Moon and Mars plan to demonstrate the conference center, at this time the conference center has been held for more than two months in a row, and the government of the Ming Empire, Shoufu and all the cabinet members cannot stay in the conference center of the moon for a long time, after all, the governance of the entire country needs them.

So they went back on the third day of the meeting, but when they went back, they left a cabinet member as their representative to observe the meeting, after all, it is necessary and responsible to transform Mars as the official of the Ming Empire.

During this period of time, various scientists have successively stated their own transformation plans, and even some scientists have joined forces to improve their own transformation plans and then put forward them, after all, the transformation of Mars is not something that can be completed in a day or two, and the Ming Empire has given enough time just for the demonstration stage.

Zhu Lei gave five years for this demonstration, after all, the transformation of Mars can not only be implemented as soon as the plan is planned, but also a lot of preliminary work must be done, the most important thing is to create enough spaceships needed to transform Mars.

The need to have enough mineral resources to make enough spaceships is necessary, but the problem is that the resources required to transform the spacecraft needed for Mars are very huge, for example, the resources required to build a large spaceship for consigning asteroids are very large, and now the moon mine base, although the number of minerals collected is relatively large, but to make a large number of large spaceships, it is far from enough to rely on the minerals produced by the moon, so we must find another way.

Not only that, the overall smelting plant in space is not enough, after all, it is much more difficult to smelt metals in space than on the earth, although it is said that the Ming Empire now has artificial gravity, but most of these space factories do not apply artificial gravity, and because these factories are not designed to consider the existence of artificial gravity, although these factories are much more advanced than the factories on the ground, and the output is much higher, but the number of these factories is still too small, Therefore, the metal materials needed for the entire Mars program are far from enough.

Therefore, before the start of the Mars program, the Ming Empire must build a large-scale space factory, especially a space factory that can smelt super-large ores, after all, due to the insufficient production of lunar minerals, and the storage capacity is still too small for the entire Mars program, it is necessary to mine metal mineral resources in the asteroid belt.

The metal mineral resources of the asteroid belt are different from those on the earth and the moon, after all, most of the asteroids with metal elements in the asteroid belt are nearly the whole, that is, the entire asteroid is composed of metal minerals, and it is very troublesome to chop them up in a series of things, after all, this is in space and not on the ground.

Therefore, it is urgent to build smelting plants that can smelt super-large ores, and such factories are far more efficient than those of small space factories.

Then it is necessary to build a large number of shipyards in space, after all, there are only three spaceships that the Ming Empire can carry out long-distance voyages, and if you don't build spaceships, let alone transform Mars, it will be very difficult to mine minerals in the asteroid belt.

And these shipyards are not the shipyards on Earth that make space shuttles or small spaceships, and the spaceship must have the ability to build large or super-large spaceships, so that they can transport the mineral resources of the asteroid belt to the vicinity of the space city for smelting.

And in addition to these, the manufacturing of military equipment in space is also an imminent matter, although it is said that the Ming Empire now has dozens of large space warships, but in fact, these warships have no long-distance voyage ability, after all, these warships were manufactured relatively early, at that time the Ming Empire had not developed an electromagnetic shield, so when sailing in space, especially when far away from the earth, it is very easy to be attacked by the solar wind.

Before the Ming Empire created the electromagnetic shield, because there was really no way, after all, the troubles left by the people of the United States had not been solved until now, and they were in danger of alien civilization at all times, although it was said that nearly 20 years had passed until now, and the alien civilization had not been seen until now.

But Zhu Lei does not doubt that the alien civilization will not come to the earth, after all, the signals have been sent, and the development of the earth's science and technology 20 years ago is clear and clear by the alien survey, so with the scale of the earth's tens of billions of people, there is no alien civilization that will not be tempted, so he knows that the time has not yet come, or that the alien civilization is now on the way, so he can't wait any longer for the construction of a more powerful space fleet.

Once the alien civilization comes, the Ming Empire is not fully prepared, then the fate of the Ruhr civilization may also be the fate of the entire human race.
