Chapter Eighty-Six: Interstellar Blasting

Because there were traces of uranium on the planet Rutan B,

Yang Meng has an understanding of this element,

There are many kinds of isotopes of uranium.

And isotopes are like normal people who are affected by some external force and become missing arms and legs, or become three-headed and six-armed.

Among the uranium elements, the most common is depleted uranium-238, a radioactive element with a half-life of up to 10 billion years, which is one of the effective tools used by humans to detect the age of celestial bodies.

Although there are other radioactive uranium isotopes,

But the boundaries between isotopes are not so obvious and can be converted into each other under specific conditions,

Thus, under Ice Medisa, radium, a radioactive element produced by uranium fission, was discovered.

It is very strange that no trace of uranium has been found

"In this way, this phenomenon can only occur if it is intervened by external forces!"

"Could it be that there is any existence that extracts radium, and the extraction time is within 1600 years!

And for some reason the extracted radium element is left on this planet."

Yang Meng, who came back to his senses, was the first incredible thought that popped into his mind.

And if you can't find traces of uranium decay on this planet,

Then such speculation can only become reality.

"So what exactly is this area? Where does it come from? ”

Yang Meng looked at the small light on the side,

At this time, the small light was floating in front of the porthole and looking at the gray planet below.

Faced with the special situation on Ice Deimos, the Rutans became the first object of suspicion.

"Xiaoguang, in such a long time, have you really never left your own planet?"

was looking at the light point of the scenery, when he heard Yang Meng's question, he flashed twice, and responded:

"I don't know!"

"Don't know?"

"Yes!"

"I told you that when we knew we were on a sphere, many of my people tried to get out of it in various ways!"

"But unfortunately, because of the shortage of resources, many attempts have failed, and even if they succeeded, they were quickly lost in their news, and they also failed.

In this desperate situation, most of us have given up on this hopeless attempt and have begun to choose different ways to keep ourselves breathing......"

"So, have you ever tried to leave your planet in the last few thousand years?"

"I don't know, in order to avoid wear and tear, madness, my memories and emotions have been in a state of storage for the last few million years,

I only occasionally retrieve my own emotions or memories, and as for the other people, I don't know their condition.

But based on the last memory I deposited, my people may not be able to sustain themselves! ”

"I see!"

"By the way, do you have the technology to extract radium?"

"Radium?" Because Yang Meng and Xiaoguang had communicated with the periodic table, Xiaoguang quickly reacted to what element it was.

"As far as I know, when we discovered that uranium has split-nuclear energy, we have been trying to harness this energy!

In the process of using nuclear energy, this element has also been discovered,

However, this element has only existed for a short time and does not have much application value for us! Therefore, this element is rarely extracted! ”

"As for whether any other clansmen have extracted this element during the time I have been asleep, I don't know!"

Xiaoguang's answer made Yang Meng fall into deep thought:

"According to Xiaoguang, the things underneath Ice Deimos may not have been made by the Rutans! ,

If it's not a Rutan, then ......"

While Yang Meng was pondering something, Xiaoguang also observed that Yang Meng's mood at this time seemed to be different from usual, so he asked out loud:

"Is there anything wrong with Ice Medisos?"

Hearing Xiaoguang's inquiry, Yang Meng nodded and told Xiaoguang the detection results just now.

"I see, there is such a strange place!"

For Yang Meng's statement, the small light, which is a point of light, flickered at a certain frequency,

"Actually, the best way is to dig out this cuboid structure and take a look!"

Hearing Xiaoguang's suggestion, Yang Meng nodded,

He also has such a plan,

If you want to dig something out of the ice at a depth of 200 kilometers on a planet with a mass like Earth,

It's hard to do it with the current technology of human beings.

But on a small celestial body like Ice Debos, it is not as difficult as imagined to dig into the interior of the satellite.

Because the mass, volume, and gravitational pull of celestial bodies are very small,

This also makes the structure of the entire icemelados very loose, and it is not as difficult to excavate as it is on Earth.

And mining on asteroids is already a very mature thing for current human beings.

"In short, whether it's to replenish the heavy element resources on the spaceship, or to explore the situation below, explore that strange place!"

"In that case, Xiao Yi!"

Yang Meng, who had made a decision in his heart, did not hesitate and ordered Xiao Yi to start preparing for the exploration work.

To deal with a planet with thick ice, human beings have many ways to deal with it.

For example, after mankind broke through controlled nuclear fusion, it launched an exploration program for the subglacial ocean of Ganymede.

The technology used at that time was the nuclear fusion excavation probe.

It is not difficult to penetrate the hundreds of kilometers of ice of Europa to reach the subglacial ocean below, using the temperatures generated by nuclear reactions.

It's just that that method takes a certain amount of time to prepare, and it is used in order to build a tunnel that can be used multiple times.

And Yang Meng doesn't need such a complicated process at this time,

Faced with a loose Ice Guardo, he decided to use another method,

A method that has been used daily in the mining industry since the invention of gunpowder,

Even if humanity reaches the interstellar age of the solar system,

This simple and violent method not only did not diminish, but even had a tendency to carry forward when he left the earth,

And this method is blasting.

In the Rutan galaxy, located 12.36 light-years from Earth,

As a human being, Yang Meng plans to blow up a planet here and make an interstellar explosion.

"Blow up a little bit and then dig in!

It shouldn't be hard to do this with man's current precision directional blasting technology! ”

The reason why Yang Meng made such a decision was not that he acted recklessly with a hot head.

When he left the earth,

The process of human urbanization has reached the point where the old and the new can be replaced.

A large number of 100-meter-high buildings have reached the end of their service life and need to be pushed to rebuild.

Compared with slow demolition, blasting is undoubtedly the best choice.

But those high-rise buildings are often concentrated in a prosperous area of the city,

Therefore, the requirements for blasting technology are extremely strict, and under this demand, human blasting technology has reached an unimaginable degree of precision.
