Chapter 154: The Beginning of Jupiter's Exploration

Cao Chuan, who didn't know that he had made a cameo appearance, returned to the office, but he didn't expect to be intercepted again on the way.

"It's a few of you." He saw that there were employees of the exploration department, including Minister Sophia, Clarke, the leader of the planet exploration team, and Kim Hyun-fu, the captain of the exploration spaceship.

Before he could ask any further questions, they shouted, "Mr. Advisor, we solemnly ask you to start the development plan of Jupiter!" "The face is serious, sincere, no joke.

"After nearly one year of development, more than half of the planning of the development department has been completed, and the asteroid development site is thriving, with a population of 50,000, but the solar system is so vast, the hinterland of the solar system where we are located is only 1/125 of the range of the traditional solar system, and there are 200 billion planets in the galaxy waiting for us outside, we must always hurry!"

Cao Chuan immediately understood what the employees of the exploration department meant, and said approvingly: "Jupiter... It's a good goal, the first gaseous planet pioneered by humans... Also, the development of the asteroid belt has come to an end for the time being, and we have to move forward, otherwise we will be abandoned by the times! ”

His mind immediately recalled the two Jupiter exploration proposals submitted by the exploration department in the past few years, and each time, as the exploration department learned more about Jupiter, the maturity and rationality of the plans increased at the same time, representing their progress.

If starting Jupiter a few years ago was definitely a loss-making business, now that they are going to Jupiter, they can already break even, and even have a way to develop Jupiter, especially Ganymede, into another prosperous big city in the solar system.

"However, you must also remember that Jupiter has been visited many times by the Exploration Department so far, and we still know very little about it, and if you are prepared for the unexpected that may erupt at any time, I think your proposal has passed!"

"Of course!" A second later, in unison, the three replied.

"It's really motivated..."Cao Chuan sighed, of course, he was very interested in opening up Jupiter, and the particularity of Jupiter had a positive significance for their future development.

"In that case, let's go back to the moon base and sit down and talk about it in detail?"

A few hours later, in the huge conference room, several ministers of the East Galaxy Company gathered, as well as Nana, Bai Lian, and Joan of Arc, three onlookers who were playing soy sauce, plus Sun Ruixiang, including the Pope of Scientology.

"There is a good thing to inform you that we are considering the feasibility of Jupiter's development, of course, this is a long project, and if we are not fully prepared, there will definitely be problems, so we will have a simple discussion first, and then go to the all-hands meeting to vote and implement!"

Cao Chuan smiled all over his face, as if the plan was completely proposed by himself.

"No problem!" A hint of ecstasy flashed on the faces of the ministers in the following positions, as if they had expected it, and the only one who remained calm was probably Professor Russell.

"So, let's hear about the Exploration Department's plans first." Cao Chuan did not directly follow the plan proposed by the exploration department.

"The development of Jupiter was a comprehensive project, starting with the construction of the city of Europa... Europa is a very good planet, with a gravity similar to that of the Moon, and an environment even better than the Moon, with a thick atmosphere, a geomagnetic field, thick ice, and an underground ocean. ”

"Such a planet alone is enough to accommodate more than 1 million people to live and work in peace and contentment, and build a complete industrial system, from daily necessities to high-tech products, military weapons and equipment, without relying too much on the surrounding planet."

"Secondly, there is Jupiter itself, with its thick atmosphere, an endless mixture of hydrogen and helium, which is also rich in helium-3, which will further solve the energy problem and bring an endless amount of energy for us to splurge."

"We will build a space station with a population of 5,000 in Jupiter's atmosphere, and dock 10 Hengyue-class spacecraft to support our gas recovery program, and even further develop Jupiter's atmospheric resources to find other ways to make money."

"After completing the above two steps, our control over Jupiter is firm enough, and it is time to introduce the pioneers and establish Jupiter's exploration sites, whether it is to develop the remaining Ganymede, Europa, Jupiter's rings, or Jupiter itself, and build sub-bases and space stations, which are of certain significance."

"On a planet with a diameter of more than 140,000 kilometers alone, even if you don't count the number of moons in its star system, the number of pioneers it can accommodate will be much larger than that of asteroid pioneers, enough to reach the scale of 100,000, 500,000."

Cao Chuan said, while showing the video and chart in the prepared speech materials, "The above is the third Jupiter exploration plan proposed by the exploration department, in the process of the birth of the plan, I believe that many people have also participated, after all, although this development plan is led by the exploration department, it is actually a large project that can be completed with the cooperation of multiple departments." ”

"Let's talk about the benefits of exploring Jupiter."

"From a political point of view, the map of humanity will cross the asteroid belt and reach more distant places, symbolizing the progress of civilization; Europa is also a great place for a large population to settle in, which will allow us to expand our sphere of influence even further. ”

"From an economic point of view, Jupiter has broadened the boundaries of interplanetary trade and business circles, including Callisto, Ganymede, and the Jupiter space station, and several new airport cities, which have a lot of resources that are not available elsewhere, and will also present us with opportunities."

"From a scientific and technological point of view, as the largest gaseous planet in the solar system, the ice geological structure of Europa, the dust of Jupiter's rings, and the meteorological laws of Jupiter's atmosphere have valuable research value."

"From a military point of view, Jupiter's closer proximity to Pluto's second base will make our defensive circles intertwined, increase strategic depth, and be more difficult to break down one by one; It will make it easier for our fleet to get logistical support and crisscross the sea of stars. ”

……

"So I don't have much to say... If you are ready to open up this more unknown world, we will hold a general meeting of all employees to discuss the implementation plan. Cao Chuan repeated what he had said.
