Dr. Mikoyan brought up another virtual model.

"This is a geothermal power generation system, and it is also one of the core equipment for our future development of Venus."

"Geothermal?" Everyone immediately reacted.

Venus is indeed very rich in geothermal heat, with surface temperatures of 500 degrees Celsius, plus those volcanic areas, which is a good deal for wool.

Seeing that everyone understood, Dr. Mikoyan continued: "People may think that the high temperature on the surface of Venus is caused by being too close to the Sun, but this is actually a wrong view. ”

"Mercury, which is closer to the Sun, has a lower surface temperature than Venus, and the high temperature on the surface of Venus has little to do with the intensity of solar radiation, and the reason for this is the carbon dioxide in Venus's atmosphere."

"The dense atmosphere of Venus allows 60%~70% of the thermal energy of solar radiation to be reflected back to outer space, and the dense carbon dioxide forms a huge insulation layer, so that the geothermal energy of Venus cannot radiate outward, and then accumulates a huge amount of thermal energy on the surface over time."

Dr. Mikoyan paused to clear everyone's minds.

After a while, he went on to describe the next steps in the development plan:

"We can use geothermal power stations to continuously extract geothermal energy from Venus, and at the same time gradually reduce the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of Venus, so that the surface temperature will gradually drop, and prepare for the large-scale development of minerals on the surface of Venus in the future."

When everyone heard this, they began to discuss it one after another.

Judging by this development plan, it is clear that the scale is very large.

Whether it's an orbital solar power plant, or the cloud palace itself, or a geothermal power station, it's a big project.

And these big projects are only sub-projects of the Venus development plan, which shows that the scale of their projects is beyond imagination.

One of the branch managers raised his hand: "Dr. Mikoyan, your large-scale extraction of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere of Venus, will the concentration of the atmosphere decrease, will it eventually lead to a decrease in the buoyancy of the airship?" ”

Mikoyan nodded: "This is indeed possible, but we have already planned it, there is no need to worry about it in a short time, we can allow the Cloud Palace to gradually descend, and we can also use oxygen and nitrogen to replenish." ”

“……”

Many people put forward their own questions and opinions, and Mikoyan and Jiang Mingxuan also answered them one by one.

For example, why not establish a permanent city on the surface of Venus, the reason is gravity.

Gravity is not the greatest in the strata on the surface of a planet, in fact, the region with the greatest gravity is the atmosphere of the planet.

Because the farther away from the radius of the Earth's center and the interior of the atmosphere, gravity tends to be the greatest.

This is also the reason why the Cloud Palace project is built in the high altitude of Venus, in order to make gravity as close as possible to the gravity of the earth's surface.

In the future, if you want to increase the gravity of Venus's habited area, the best way is to continue to develop high altitudes.

Of course, there is actually another way to fundamentally solve the problem of gravity differences, that is, to pull a dozen large rocky asteroids from the asteroid belt to directly increase the overall mass and stratigraphic radius of Venus.

The problem is that this method is very risky and extremely difficult to operate.

After all, the orbits of the major planets in the solar system are closely related to the mass of the planet.

If Homo sapiens just gains weight on Venus on the front foot, and Venus changes its orbit and speed on the back foot, it will be a big problem.

It's something that can affect the whole body.

Mikoyan and others did not dare to add weight to Venus, because they were worried that the stable operating system of the solar system for hundreds of millions of years would be destroyed.

Therefore, bariatric surgery on the planet must be a forbidden thing.

……

After more than a week of discussions, Dr. Mikoyan finally convinced everyone and readjusted part of the Venus development plan.

Then Li Qingye in the Pangu realm of Africa received this freshly baked plan.

He looked at Mikoyan, who flew over in person, and the thick plan book in his hand, calmed down, and carefully looked at the contents of each page.

Apparently Dr. Mikoyan and the Space Division were prepared.

The plan is clearly written, and a 10-phase project schedule is also made, and the entire Venus development plan is planned to be completed before the Galaxy 10 years.

The Science Division also cooperated with the Space Division to launch a seven-year human Venus survival experiment on Venus.

Li Qingye watched it for more than 20 minutes before he finished reading the entire content of the plan, and he put the planner aside:

"Doctor, since the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Finance have evaluated and agreed to your Venus development plan, I don't have too many opinions myself, I just hope that you can be cautious about the long-term life of human beings in Venus, and if you find any problems, you must report to me in time."

Dr. Mikoyan nodded: "Mr. Chairman, please rest assured, I have discussed with the Science Division, and I will try my best to ensure that the personnel involved in the experiment pass the experimental test safely." ”

"Well, the company's employees are very valuable, and experiments cost more money than manpower." Li Qingye sighed.

Dr. Mikoyan hurriedly spoke: "I understand very well that Mr. Chairman is concerned about the health of employees. ”

Suddenly, Li Qingye remembered something: "By the way, doctor, how is the investigation of life over there in the atmosphere of Venus?" Did you find anything? ”

Dr. Mikoyan was stunned for a moment, then explained.

At present, Homo sapiens does have several laboratories dedicated to investigating life on Venus at the Cloud Palace base on Venus.

However, the investigation proceeded very quickly.

Because the Yungong base is in the upper layer of the atmosphere of Venus, several microorganisms have indeed been discovered, and indirect compounds that exist in a few lives have also been discovered.

Dr. Mikoyan hurriedly called up the relevant papers and explained to him: "Chairman, these are the studies on plankton found in the atmosphere of Venus. ”

Li Qingye controlled the holographic projection and quickly skimmed through the paper above.

"It seems that the scientific department has already formulated a research project, so I will not interfere."

"Chairman, in fact, the Pangu project is not bad, after all, a relatively stable small ecosystem has been produced in it, and our space division also needs the talent support of the Pangu project."

Li Qingye shook his head: "The project of the Pangu Project cannot be disclosed for the time being, you can apply for other laboratory support from the Science Division!" ”

Mikoyan nodded helplessly, he didn't really have much hope.

After all, the Pangea project is no less important within Homo sapiens than the new controlled nuclear fusion research project and the super-large particle collider.

It's just that the focus of these projects is different.

With the vigorous promotion of the Pangu project, many useful inventions and discoveries are constantly emerging.

If some of the researchers can be seconded from the Pangu Project to devote themselves to life research projects in the atmosphere of Venus, it may be possible to accelerate the research of these projects.

But Li Qingye will not do this, after all, the life research project of Venus is not as important as the Pangu project.

He talked with Dr. Mikoyan and others for more than an hour before sending them away.

Then he looked at some of the recent reports, many of which were about the free world, and it was clear that people were forced to be in a hurry, and it was easier to stimulate their latent potential.

It's just that Li Qingye doesn't care too much about this, he still cares more about technology research and development.
