Chapter 276 - Colliding Protons with Electrons, Grain
"Domestic, not global?" Su Zhe asked with a smile.
"There's no need." Fan Xiaoming explained, "The relevant departments accepted our opinion, and besides, we do not allow foreigners to participate in the development of the solar system, so there is no need to let those people know too much." ”
For now, at least for now.
Policies and regulations restrict the participation of people outside the country in the development of the solar system.
Since these people are not allowed to participate, there is no need to let these people know too much.
If you don't know, you won't exacerbate the conflict.
In his opinion, that's good.
With us developing the solar system and protecting the earth, these people will be able to live in peace.
If the relevant departments are willing, they can completely let these people live a carefree life.
Not only these people, but all human beings can live happily ever after.
At least materially it is satisfying.
To achieve this, it is nothing more than sufficient energy and resources.
The energy pillar project can be solved, and it will not take long for resources to solve it.
This also shows that it will not be long before all mankind can live a happy and happy life materially.
Of course, this is ideal.
"That's right!" Su Zhe nodded.
He estimates that the restrictions on the participation of those abroad are also temporary.
When the development of the solar system reaches a certain scale, it is estimated that it will be opened.
"Hello Professor Su!"
"Hello Professor Fan!"
Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming were walking on the road, and from time to time teachers and students passing by greeted them.
To this, they responded with a smile.
The two came to the cafeteria, and when they walked outside the cafeteria after lunch, students in camouflage uniforms came to the cafeteria in groups.
"Let's go!" Fan Xiaoming reminded.
Come to a place not far from the cafeteria.
After a while, a flying car flew out of the air and stopped in front of the two of them.
After the two of them got in, the flying car quickly flew away.
This process elicited exclamations from the freshmen.
After all, flying cars have not yet become massively popular, but everyone already knows about the existence of flying cars.
On the flying car heading to the Sanmen base in the Tamu Gobi, Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming were watching the flight of five solar energy collection stations and two light energy transmission stations.
After seeing that everything was normal, Fan Xiaoming smiled and said, "It's stable!" In a few hours, you will be at the designated location. ”
"Yes! The flight data and flight status are quite stable, and it is estimated that there will be no more problems. Su Zhe nodded and said.
"We were well prepared, and if something went wrong again, it wouldn't be right." Fan Xiaoming said with a smile.
It's not the first time, and if something goes wrong, it shouldn't be.
"I can't say that, it's still early stage at this stage, and it's normal if there is a problem, just treat it with a normal mentality." Su Zhe said, "That's right! I have arranged all the projects related to human research, and then we will do particle research, and it is estimated that we will stay at the Sanmen base for a long time. ”
In terms of human studies, everything that should be arranged has already been arranged.
All that's left to do is set aside some time each day to follow up.
"Good! All right! Fan Xiaoming smiled, "Then what is the first experiment you plan to do on the Super Hadron Collider?" ”
Now that the Nine Days Research Center is on track, he doesn't spend much time on the management of the Nine Days Research Center every day.
Besides, what he is good at is accelerators, or what he is interested in is high-energy physics.
"The first experiment." Su Zhe thought for a while and said, "Use electrons to collide with protons to see if you can smash the quarks in the protons." ”
"Full power collision?" Fan Xiaoming asked with a smile.
"yes!" Su Zhe said bluntly, "I have estimated that even if it is at full power, it is only possible to hit the quark." ”
High Energy Physics.
There are still so many unknowns waiting for them to explore.
"Try it! If the electron collides with the proton and does not work, it can only wait for the superhadron collider in space, which is directly 1,000 kilometers away. Fan Xiaoming smiled.
Source change app】
The Super Hadron Collider Building at the Sanmen Base is currently the most powerful in the world, but this is not the limit of current technology.
The limit is the Space Super Hadron Collider, which is now in the pipeline.
"Yes!" Su Zhe nodded, "Anyway, we have to do all the particle collision experiments we have done in the past." ”
The reason why I want to do the particle collision experiments that I have done in the past is repeated, or even many times.
The purpose is to re-validate.
Then it is to see if there are any new changes at high power.
"It's going to be done all over again." Fan Xiaoming smiled and nodded, "But before doing these collision experiments, we have to arrange graduate students, and you also have to arrange undergraduate experimental classes." ”
"It's okay to arrange these for a day at most, and you won't delay things." Su Zhe smiled.
"That's right! The principal has set the date for landing on Mars, which is November 1st, a few days more than two months away. Fan Xiaoming said, "I plan to go and see it together this time, will you go?" ”
Landing on Mars, he was very interested.
Besides, this is the first time that humans have landed on Mars, which has great commemorative significance.
"Go! Landing on Mars is still going to go. Su Zhe said affirmatively.
Landing on Mars takes only a few days to come and go.
He had a lot of time to spare.
"That's right! The dust from the asteroid debris hitting Mars half a year ago has largely disappeared. Fan Xiaoming smiled, "The volcanic activity has also subsided. ”
Fan Xiaoming said, and the main screen of the flying car showed a real-time picture of Mars.
These test footage was taken by the relevant detectors.
They initially thought that the impact of the asteroid wreckage would affect their landing and development, but now it seems that they are overly concerned.
Mars was quiet early.
"I've seen all the relevant data." "Judging from the data collected so far, Mars is a dead planet with only a faint activity in its core. ”
Mars' atmosphere is thin, gravity is small, and its core is weak.
Such an environment is completely unsuitable for human existence.
Like the impact of the asteroid wreckage half a year ago, if it had been installed on Earth, it would not have subsided so quickly.
The dust it hits, as well as volcanic activity and earthquakes, will continue for a long, long time.
"Yes!" Fan Xiaoming nodded and explained, "Now, the scientific research team related to the comprehensive development of Mars has proposed a plan that can be roughly classified into three types, one of which ......"
The first is similar to the full development of the Moon, which is to build cities on Mars without modifying Mars itself.
The second is to use a nuclear bomb to activate Mars.
The third is to create a strong magnetic field around Mars, which activates Mars.
In fact, the second and third goals are the same, which is to change the environment of Mars itself, so that it becomes an environment suitable for human life.
After listening to Fan Xiaoming's explanation, Su Zhe asked with a smile: "Do you think the second and third are reliable?" ”
"Very unreliable!" Fan Xiaoming smiled, "At this stage, the data on Mars is not complete, but even if the data on Mars is completely mastered, I can say with certainty that the second and third options are not reliable." ”
"In fact, in the universe, the environment suitable for human survival is the earth during this period, and now it is almost impossible to find the same environment in the universe, and there is no second place." Su Zhe said with great certainty.
Fan Xiaoming nodded and said: "I can't find the second one, we can only transform it, but with our current strength, we can't transform a planet, either like the moon, or build a space city in space, and use those planets as raw material mining sites." ”
"I'm more inclined to build a space city." Su Zhe said with a smile, "A complete space city, as long as there is a sufficient supply of energy, can exist for a long time and can be better managed." ”
That's the case at this stage.
The best solution is to build a space city.
Stable planets like the Moon and Mars can also build completely closed cities on them.
If the planet's geological activities are frequent, such as volcanoes, earthquakes, etc., it can only be used as a raw material mining site.
"Yes! That is true. Fan Xiaoming nodded and said, "Even if we have the technology to change a planet, it is better to dismantle this planet and build a new one, which may be more convenient, such as Mars." ”
Take Mars, for example.
The best way to do this is to build closed cities on Mars.
But with the development of science and technology, it is no longer difficult to transform Mars.
At that time, it was better to dismantle Mars directly and rebuild a Mars suitable for human life.
Maybe it's a little easier.
"It's not something we're thinking about, because it's still far from us." Su Zhe smiled, "What we have to think about is the present, the near future." ”
Dismantle Mars and build a Mars suitable for human survival.
It's crazy now, but it's possible in the long run.
But what is certain is that at this stage and for a long time, humanity does not have this strength.
"That's right! Right! Look in front of you. Fan Xiaoming said and pointed to the screen, "The probe has found a lot of water resources at the poles of Mars, and has also found a lot of mineral resources, so for now, Mars is a good supply of raw materials." ”
For the exploration of Mars.
Not to mention other universities, research institutes and other related institutions in China, Lingzhou University of Technology has launched more than 100 detectors.
There are those orbiting Mars, and there are those that are on Mars.
For now, the topography of Mars has been clearly understood.
As for the surface, it is still being explored.
Su Zhe nodded and said, "Yes!" It is a good source of raw materials. ”
"Also, from the perspective of the exploration of the asteroid belt, there are many resources in the asteroid belt, and the difficulty of mining is not high." Fan Xiaoming explained, "For the development of the asteroid belt, my idea is to synchronize with the development of Mars, and in the process of improving the light pillar project, the priority is to give priority to the energy supply of Mars and the asteroid belt, and the two can be linked." ”
The asteroid belt is in orbit between Mars and Jupiter, and it is rich in resources.
Among them are three asteroids with a diameter of more than 400 kilometers and one dwarf planet with a diameter of more than 900 kilometers.
There are more than 120,000 registered asteroids.
It is no exaggeration to say that the asteroid belt is a treasure trove of resources.
Fan Xiaoming said as he flipped through the high-quality asteroids found in the asteroid belt displayed on the screen.
There are diamond asteroids with a diameter of up to 10 kilometers, gold asteroids with a diameter of up to 8 kilometers, rare metal asteroids with a diameter of 80 kilometers, and so on.
"Show me this, I think you have formed a preliminary consensus!" Su Zhe said with a smile.
It is undeniable that the resources of the asteroid belt are not only complete, but also numerous.
The most important thing is good mining.
However, looking at Fan Xiaoming's expression, it is estimated that several parties have already had a preliminary plan.
He didn't care much about the specific steps of how to develop the solar system, and he didn't have the time to care.
Usually just listen to it.
He was concerned with the development of science and technology.
"Yes! While you were busy with human research, research centers, schools, other university research institutes and other relevant departments held a meeting in the virtual universe to discuss a preliminary plan for the development of the solar system. Fan Xiaoming said, "The preliminary plan has been sent to you by email, and I guess I haven't seen it yet." ”
This meeting in the virtual universe was attended by domestic universities, research institutes, enterprises and other relevant institutions and departments.
It was attended by 100,000 people and lasted three days.
"I know about the meeting, I remember that I was invited, and you reminded me, as for the preliminary plan, I didn't read it." Su Zhe said bluntly.
The meeting will take three days.
And it's about the development of the solar system.
In his opinion, it would be enough for Fan Xiaoming to participate in such a meeting, and he would be busy doing his own thing.
"I knew you didn't look at the preliminary plan." Fan Xiaoming said, "Actually, the meeting is to unify everyone's pace, after all, there are too many people involved in the development of the solar system, and if it is not unified, a lot of manpower and material resources will be wasted." ”
The meeting is actually to clarify the goal and integrate resources.
The development of the solar system is not something that can be done overnight.
In this process, the first thing to ensure is food security.
With so many people in China participating in the development of the solar system, will there be a delay in food and food?
That is, people's basic security.
To put it bluntly, you can't develop the solar system in one swarm.
As far as he knew, the food side.
Domestic investment in this area is also huge.
For example, farming is a full automation method, with the participation of humanoid robots.
People can remotely control humanoid robots to work.
However, these are still in the process of being tried, and they have not been fully rolled out.
It's the traditional way.
There is also the non-traditional, which is the grain planting building.
In a geologically inhospitable place, build buildings ranging from a few floors to dozens of floors.
Grow food and other crops in these buildings.
The most important thing is that such a building planting can be carefully automated.
Such a planting building, as long as it continues to provide resources and energy, can continue to produce grain, vegetables and other outputs.
This way of planting buildings is already beginning to take shape.
Accordingly, fisheries and animal husbandry.
This is the cultivation of the earth.
Finally, there is space, that is, the space farm, space ranch, and space fishing ground mentioned earlier.
