Chapter 197: Mars and Deimos
In the solar system, on the Mars 1 moon.
Wang Dao, who was standing in the command center of the spaceship, was engrossed in reading the information.
At this time, Zhou Zhou Li walked in and said, "Mr. Wang, everything is going well, after half an hour, we need to evacuate according to the plan." ”
Wang Dao looked at the information on the screen without squinting, and said, "Act according to the plan, I'll look at the information again." ”
Zhou Li helplessly persuaded: "Mr. Wang, you can recite these materials, and if you look at it again, it's still like that, there's no need." ”
"Hey!" Wang Daochang sighed and said, "Our plan is too crazy, I'm a little worried. ”
Zhou Li shook his head and stopped talking, after all, Wang Dao was only twenty-one years old, but the plan everyone made was indeed crazy.
In order to prevent the occurrence of planet-level geological disasters that will lead to the destruction of human beings on Earth, everyone agrees that it is necessary to rebuild a nest in the solar system.
Picking and choosing, Mars came into the eyes of scientists.
Mars, one of the eight planets in the solar system, is the fourth planet in the solar system from the inside to the outside, and belongs to terrestrial planets.
Its diameter is about 53% of the earth's, the inclination angle of the axis of rotation and the rotation period are similar to the earth's, and one revolution is about twice the earth's rotation time.
The orange-red appearance is hematite (iron oxide) Mars is basically a desert planet, with sand dunes, gravel and no stable liquid water on the surface.
The atmosphere, dominated by carbon dioxide, is thin and cold, with sand and dust suspended in it, and dust storms occur frequently every year.
Both poles of Mars have a polar cap of water ice and dry ice, which waxes and wanes with the seasons.
Compared to Earth, Mars is less geologically active, and most of the surface landforms were formed during the more active period of ancient times, with dense craters, volcanoes and canyons, including the highest mountains and the largest canyons in the solar system.
Another unique topographical feature is the stark difference between the northern and southern hemispheres: the south is an old, crater-filled highland, while the north is a younger plain.
The presence of water is an important reference factor, but it is not a decisive factor.
Now, as long as there are hydrogen atoms and oxygen atoms, it is not difficult to make water with the existing technology of the Baiwang Group, but the existence of natural water can also make things easier.
The most important of these is that Mars is very close to the asteroid ring in the solar system!
Asteroid rings! Asteroid rings! Asteroid rings!
It's no problem to say something important three times.
Because the scientists responsible for the construction of the second nest have made a very crazy plan.
In their vision, Mars will eventually be positioned in the Earth's orbit around the Sun, becoming a twin planet like the Earth, forming a twin galaxy centered on the Sun.
If you want to do this, you need two planets, which are basically the same in terms of size, mass, rotation period, atmospheric environment, etc.
In this way, we can ensure that the two planets are always at opposite ends of the sun, and will not collide with each other due to inconsistent rotation periods.
Otherwise, the second nest was not successfully built, and his base camp was lost, wouldn't it be a big joke.
And to make such a transformation of Mars, we must first settle the two personal bodyguards of Mars - Phobos and Phobos.
Just like mentioning the Earth, you can't fail to mention the Moon, the Moon's influence on the Earth is all-encompassing, and its importance goes without saying.
With a surface area of 6,100 square kilometers and a volume of 5,680 cubic kilometers, Phobos is the largest of the two Martian moons and the closest to Mars.
Its orbital period is eight hours in Earth time, which is three times around Mars in one day.
With an orbit of about 9,400 km from the center of Mars, or 6,000 km from the surface of Mars, Phobos is closer to Mars than the moons of other planets.
Because of its orbital proximity to Mars, Phobos rotates faster than Mars' rotation, so Phobos rises from the west as seen from the surface of Mars, streaks across the sky and sets in the east in 4 hours and 15 minutes or less.
Due to the short orbital period and tidal forces, Phobos's orbital radius is gradually decreasing, and eventually it will crash into the surface of Mars or shatter to form a ring.
In order to verify the feasibility of the Mars transformation plan and to do the planetary orbit change experiment, Wang Dao led a huge team to board Phobos.
Their first goal was to push Phobos away from Mars and slow it down until its orbit was completely stable.
From above, the current Phobos looks like a giant beehive ten kilometers in size, already covered with long holes of all sizes.
That would, of course, not be an ordinary hole, but tens of thousands of high-power thrusters.
The power, propulsion angle, and working time of each thruster are all calculated through a series of precise and rigorous calculations.
The speed of Phobos is very fast, and if there is a slight problem, it can lead to a bad result.
At best, Phobos will disintegrate and completely become a planetary belt around Mars.
The most important is to crash directly into Mars, and the two are completely integrated, and they are no longer separated from each other.
"Didi-Di-"
The alarm that the spaceship was about to take off sounded, and Wang Dao looked at the time, there was still one minute for the spacecraft to take off.
Drawing his gaze from the multitude of information, Wang Dao closed his eyes and closed his eyes to recuperate.
After a long period of intense calculations in his mind, even if the royal road has completely surpassed mortals, he is a little unbearable.
Take out a thick nutrient block and chew it slowly to make up for the consumption caused by high-intensity work.
The bitter taste stimulates the taste buds, and the large amount of nutrients in it greatly relieves the pain and heat of the brain.
"Dad, is there anything that needs to be fixed?" Xiao Hua asked sweetly.
Wang Dao shook his head and didn't speak.
All the data was massively calculated, and tens of thousands of scientists were mobilized for this project.
Including mathematicians, physicists, chemists, astronomers, and many more.
The work involved includes a lot of content, in the big picture, the determination of the trajectory of celestial bodies, the change in gravity caused by the movement of a certain star has a knock-on effect on all the stars in the entire solar system.
In small aspects, the overall detailed structure of Phobos, the material composition of each part and the limit value of the bearing capacity, and the deformation of the star caused by various forces during the orbit change.
Taken together, these data are truly astronomical figures, requiring more than tens of thousands of times more computing power than the data generated by humans on the entire planet.
In order to process these massive amounts of data and carry out a lot of processing and computing work, a super quantum computing center was specially built for Xiaohua, which is specially used for related data processing and computing.
The whole process, from putting forward the intention, formally establishing the project, mobilizing personnel, preparing relevant equipment, conducting investigations, and calculating and verifying, has taken nearly a year.
So Wang Dao watched the data again, really to relieve the inexplicable emotions in his heart that he didn't know whether he was excited or nervous. [.]
