Chapter 6: Departure to the Sun!
Because of the sublimation of matter caused by the irradiation of sunlight, the mass of the meteorite has decreased by more than ten percent during the transportation of these days. Xiao Yu was extremely distressed, and after arriving at the destination, Xiao Yu was immediately ready to start eating.
After blocking the sunlight with himself, Xiao Yu controlled the cable winch on the spacecraft to rotate continuously, pulling the target meteorite towards him at a speed of about one decimeter per second.
Or Xiao Yu himself was pulled by the falling star. In the universe, any statement of who is close to whom is meaningless, Xiao Yu flies towards the stationary sun at a speed of twenty kilometers per second, or it can be said that the sun flies towards the stationary Xiao Yu at a speed of twenty kilometers per second, both statements are the same.
It took more than half an hour for Xiao Yu to reduce the distance between himself and the target meteorite to one meter. Then, after Xiao Yu connected the robot to his hull with a cable, he controlled the robot to transport the fixed machinery to the target meteorite.
It is necessary to hold these machines in place. Because of its small mass, the meteorite's escape velocity is almost negligible, that is, with a little force, these machines will escape from the meteorite. That kind of loss is not something that Xiao Yu can accept now.
The robot dexterously controlled these machines, and set up a collection net where the meteorite was facing away from the sun, and after the collection net was set up, Xiao Yu took all the machinery back to the spaceship, and then slowly moved away from the meteorite, and carefully moved away a little, so that the sunlight directly shone on the meteorite.
Immediately, the solid water, hydrogen, oxygen, etc. on the meteorite began to volatilize, turning into pieces of white mist, drifting towards the rear, but it was blocked by Xiao Yu's haode collection net that Xiao Yu had already set up, and stored it through the storage equipment behind the collection net.
Seeing that everything was going smoothly, Xiao Yu's eyes almost popped up with little stars.
"Water, hydrogen, oxygen, come to my brother." Xiao Yu silently read out of tune, and his excitement was incomparable.
After the storage equipment was full, Xiao Yu immediately moved over to block the sunlight again, and then closed the distance, manipulated the robot, and transferred the collected materials.
Looking at the fruits of his labor, Xiao Yu's excited indicator light flashed.
"A hundred kilograms of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen! That's three tons of water! Xiao Yu was very satisfied with this harvest. Xiao Yu immediately treated the collected liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen, separated the impurities, and after meeting the requirements, poured these energy into the engine.
"It feels good to have enough energy." Xiao Yu sighed, full of energy.
It took several days of busy work for Xiao Yu to collect all the water, hydrogen, and oxygen on the target meteorite into his pocket. Looking at the meteorite that only had metal objects and some gravel left, its volume had been reduced by more than half, and its mass had been almost halved, Xiao Yu began to think about how to make full use of these remaining materials.
Xiao Yu's current metalworking ability is not very strong. In order to reduce mass and save space, Xiao Yu did not carry that kind of large-scale metalworking equipment, but only carried some necessary and small equipment. Originally, it was planned to land on Europa, and after the surrounding environment has settled down, it will slowly develop. But now, the original Jihua can't say that it needs to be changed.
Xiao Yu has already measured that most of the remaining materials of this meteorite are very fine steel, which can reach the kind of special steel used to build the space shuttle. Although the quality of these steels has been slightly affected by the earth's explosion, it can be restored to its original appearance immediately after a little processing.
Such steel, even with Xiao Yu's technology, is very troublesome to process. So Xiao Yu was really reluctant to give up these things.
"This must be the remains of a steel mill on Earth." Xiao Yu thought, "No way, just spend some time, anyway, now that the energy has been replenished a little, you can last a little longer." ”
After making up his mind, Xiao Yu transported the most tightly protected metalworking equipment he had protected, and started work on both sides, while building on the spot, he began to cut the meteorite piece by piece, and then transported it into the spaceship and put it away.
Xiao Yu has already realized his development shortcomings, the number of robots is too small, only one. In other words, if this robot is damaged, Xiao Yu will lose most of his mobility. Although the rest of the equipment can also be controlled and operated by Xiao Yu, they are not as flexible as robots, and they are not capable of many jobs. In that case, Xiao Yu is really going to die. Even if Xiao Yu has the technology in his head, no matter how exquisite the device manufacturing method is, it will not work. If there is no power to act, who will carry it out?
Therefore, with the help of the special steel here, the mechanical equipment that is not used and does not play a great role was disassembled, and after collecting enough materials, Xiao Yu immediately started the construction of the second robot.
The construction of the second robot took Xiao Yu five days. After the final completion, Xiao Yu looked at the four dislikes in front of him and smiled bitterly in his heart.
Because of material limitations, the guy in front of Xiao Yu looked more like a monster made of a large pile of black scrap metal. For example, the uneven shell, such as the black color, such as the messy exposed wires......
But although the appearance is a little ugly, the function is not a lot at all. Even, with Xiao Yu's accumulation these days, the function of this robot is a little stronger than the first one.
After the construction of the second robot, the cutting and transportation of the meteorite is also half completed. With the addition of a second robot, Xiao Yu's work efficiency immediately doubled.
Looking at the remaining materials, Xiao Yu thought about it for a while and made up his mind, just don't do it and get another robot out.
So, Xiao Yu assigned one robot to continue collecting meteorite materials, and the other robot began to "breed." ”
Watching large pieces of fine steel continue to enter his spaceship, Xiao Yu really wanted to learn from a certain emperor, and sighed: "The heroes of the world are all in my place." ”
Two-thirds of the way through the meteorite collection, a third robot was born. Xiao Yu's mobility was further strengthened. So, Xiao Yu continued to have one robot collect materials, while the other two robots began to manipulate the machinery, process the materials, and start repairing the hull.
In the Muyue collision incident, Xiao Yu's injuries were too serious. Now I finally got a respite.
Xiao Yu reinforced, repaired broken equipment and wiring, redesigned solar panels, thickened the insulation, and finally let the small spaceship he was sheltering in return from the refugee camp to the civilian class. Although the current spaceship has not yet returned to its intact condition, its various functions have also been restored by almost eighty or ninety.
Xiao Yu stayed here for more than two months. After all the preparations were completed, Xiao Yu calculated the best orbit to fly to Titan, and then resolutely left this place and ran towards the sun.
After a long flight of more than half a month, an unusually bright planet entered Xiao Yu's field of vision.
That's Venus, the star of Eros, the morning star.
Xiao Yu sighed, remembering the good times when he was still on Earth. Venus, for thousands of years, I don't know how many literati and writers have sung and praised it.
"Since you're here, let's stop by and take a look. By the way, let's also assess how this collision of the wood and moon has affected Venus. Xiao Yu made up his mind, adjusted his orbit a little without affecting the overall process, and flew towards Venus.
In the history of human astronautics, Venus does not occupy too much place. Because the environment on Venus is too harsh.
Although the thick clouds bring an extremely high albedo to Venus, making it the first bright star that can be observed on Earth, such thick clouds also bring an extremely serious greenhouse effect to Venus. The average surface temperature of Venus is as high as more than 400 degrees Celsius, the atmospheric pressure is several times that of the Earth, and acid rain is rampant, the surface magma is raging, and the geological activity is extremely active.
Since the beginning of human astronautics, only a handful of spacecraft have reached the surface of Venus.
But now the appearance of Venus surprised Xiao Yu.
Most of Venus's heavy clouds have disappeared. I think it's caused by the blowing of the Jupiter wind. This means that the temperature on the surface of Venus will slowly decrease. Xiao Yu made an estimate and came to the conclusion that in tens of thousands of years, the surface temperature of Venus may drop to about 100 degrees.
Moreover, it can be yujian, in the coming some time, there will definitely be a meteorite from the Earth hitting Venus. And these meteorites may carry the seeds of life.
The tenacity of life has been proven, and bacteria can still survive in the undersea volcano at a depth of several kilometers, under high temperature and pressure. Come to think of it, there must be some life that can adapt to the environment of Venus. These lifeforms will spread out on Venus, multiply and evolve, and after countless long periods of time, they may even evolve intelligent life.
"If intelligent life evolves on Venus, when they look up at the starry sky, I wonder if they will have the same desire to develop into the universe as human beings? And what do you think when you discover the remains of civilization in the meteorite complex of the earth? Xiao Yu thought silently.
"The existence of the solar system is a miracle in the first place. And life will always find a reason for their existence. Good luck, Venus. ”
Xiao Yu swept by three thousand kilometers away from Venus, looked at the figure of Venus that was gradually moving away, and let out a sigh.
After storing the data about Venus on the hard disk, Xiao Yu came back to his senses and looked into the distance, the huge fireball suspended in the void of the universe, emitting infinite light and heat all the time, and suddenly a sense of pride was born in his heart.
"Sail to the sun!"
