Chapter 198: Phobos moves

A minute, in the great event of the universe, is but fleeting.

Soon, the 10-million-ton spacecraft that Wang Dao was riding left the surface of Mars.

"I order, the orbital change of Enceladus begins!"

No matter what kind of mood it is, things have to be done after all, so Wang Dao collected his emotions and gave an order seriously.

"Order received! Execute as planned! Xiao Hua replied solemnly.

"Engine No. 1 starts, engine No. 2 starts...... The 10,000 869 engine starts, and all the engines are started! ”

A series of return orders, dense like machine-gun fire, were completely connected.

If it weren't for the fact that the royal path had already entered the fourth stage of cultivation, it would not be clear at all.

"Increase engine thrust as planned and change the orbit of Phobos!"

Wang Dao had completely calmed down and gave a faint order.

The inexplicable emotions came suddenly, and they didn't go slowly.

Even if the test fails, it's not a big deal, it's just a small satellite of Mars, and if it is destroyed, it will be destroyed.

There was no air on the satellite, so nothing could be heard, but the sight was spectacular.

Different engines, spewing colorful tail flames, from a distance, Phobos looks like a drawing board painted in various colors.

As all the engines were fully turned on to their intended thrust, the surface of Phobos suddenly vibrated violently, as if a major earthquake was taking place.

As if trembling slightly, as if there was no movement, the entire Phobos suddenly began to move away from Mars.

"Phobos produces a reverse velocity of 0.00135 m/s and an acceleration of 0.001 m/s."

The sudden sound of the report made everyone cheer out uncontrollably.

"Mr. Wang, everything is going well, we have made a good start!" Monday's excitement was irrepressible, and he said excitedly.

Wang Dao still looked calm, and said calmly: "It's just that I've just started moving, it's too early to be happy, and we still need to continue to observe!" ”

However, his hands clenched into fists showed that his heart was not as calm as it seemed on the surface.

A good start is half the battle, and Phobos has started to move smoothly, which is of course gratifying.

Tick - Tick – Tick –

"Warning, there is an anomalous elevation in the area of number 01078, and a rupture is expected in five minutes, please take prompt action!"

"Warning, there is an anomalous elevation in the area of number 01078, and a rupture is expected in five minutes, please take prompt action!"

"Warning, there is an anomalous elevation in the area of number 01078, and a rupture is expected in five minutes, please take prompt action!"

The three quick warnings made everyone nervous.

"Images of the relevant area are displayed immediately, and the landing personnel are on standby at any time!"

With two commands, images of the 01078 area were immediately projected onto the hall.

This area is only 20 square meters, which belongs to the geological structure of a whole rock, and under the surface, there are huge stones with a total volume of more than 10,000.

In the image, no other equipment is required, and you can see that the rock blocks are constantly rising.

It's like there's something down there, pushing the rock upwards, and it's not going to be slow.

The surrounding soil was also moved by the rocks, and it was constantly churning.

After thinking about it for a while, Wang Dao decisively ordered: "Immediately increase the power of the reverse force engine, and at the same time load the strength of the protective force field to forty percent!" ”

"This plan is feasible, implement it immediately!" Xiao Hua, who is responsible for data processing, confirmed the feasibility of the scheme after a series of rapid calculations.

Soon, a pocket-sized spacecraft landed in Area 01078 and dropped a force field generator.

Then, the engine standing on the rock erupted brighter flames, apparently increasing the force.

"Yay!" Cheers rang out.

"Mr. Wang, the rise of the rock has stopped." Monday said excitedly.

Wang Dao nodded and said, "Well, the stakes are very high, and we can't take it lightly, we have to keep paying attention." ”

Zhou Li nodded, restrained the excitement in his heart, and watched the real-time video seriously.

The movement of Phobos, while important, is not so important.

This Phobos' orbit change is just to accumulate experience and data for the orbit change of Mars.

Relative to the sheer size and mass of Mars, what is a mere Phobos?

Success is something to be happy about, but failure is also something to gain experience, which is the most important thing.

If you want Mars to reach the size and mass of Earth, it is necessary to pull a large number of asteroids to hit Mars to increase the mass and volume.

To achieve this goal, it is impossible to choose all the planets with small volumes, and there must be countless planets that are several times more than Phobos, dozens of times, or even thousands of times.

In this process, there must be a lot of problems, after all, this is the first time that human beings on Earth have begun to transform the solar system.

However, the difficulties are immediate, and the future is bright.

This is the case with scientific activities, even if there is a leap forward in theory, specific research projects must be carried out in a step-by-step manner.

In particular, this change in the orbit of Mars has a great impact on the gravitational distribution of the entire solar system.

The so-called pulling a trigger to move the whole body, in the whole space, a little change in the gravitational distribution is related to the trajectory of all celestial bodies.

After the transformation of Mars is completed and the migration begins, there may be changes in the trajectories of several other planets in the solar system except for the Sun.

In particular, the climate and geological changes caused by the changes in gravitational tides on the earth require more evaluation and calculation.

It is clear that the rock has come to a standstill.

Phobos is also moving faster away from Mars, and its rotation speed is also decreasing.

According to calculations, this process of change will take at least two years.

During this period of time, of course, a group of scientists will not wait stupidly, which is too inconsistent with the strategy of small steps and fast running in our scientific development.

Crews who have reached the asteroid ring are installing propulsion engines on selected asteroids.

The asteroids that were propelled in the early stage were all about one kilometer in diameter.

According to the earth, a thruster is installed in each of the six directions of front, back, left, right, and up, and down for the control of the flight trajectory.

Make sure that the asteroids that leave the ring will not be derailed.

However, the gravitational distribution of the asteroid ring is relatively small, so changing the control of its trajectory is relatively simple, and only six thrusters are needed, which is enough to meet the needs.

From small to large, the traction asteroids will gradually increase in size, and their destination is Mars.

When Mars increases in mass, it will automatically approach the inner side of the Sun under the attraction of the Sun until it reaches its set orbit.

According to the plan, this time will take at least twenty years, and this is still not a case of major problems.

If there is a need, it will definitely require human intervention, and the construction of more and larger thrusters on the surface of Mars is a must.
