Chapter 53: The Great Development of Mars

In the harsh environment of Jupiter, Chen Yue built this Jupiter plane, which took a total of up to a month. This is unusual for Chen Yue, who has such strong engineering skills.

You know, on the moon of Jupiter, even if you build a factory ten times larger than this plane, it will never take more than ten days.

It's just that the environment here is too harsh.

In the course of a month, a spacecraft was directly scratched and crashed into the depths of Jupiter, leaving no bones left. In addition, there were as many as 109 mechanical damage incidents, and more than 500 robots were also blown away, leaving Chen Yue forever.

Thankfully, although it was difficult, it was finally built.

The newly built Jupiter aircraft can inhale up to 15 tons of Jupiter's atmosphere per second, filter it and then discharge it. According to the proportion of about 0.02% of deuterium here, about 3 kilograms of deuterium can be filtered out, which is about 260 tons of deuterium gas a day.

At this stage, 260 tons of deuterium gas per day is completely enough for Chen Yue to consume. Therefore, only one Jupiter plane is enough at this stage.

However, in order to improve stability and prevent accidental damage, Chen Yue still plans to build two more Jupiter planes, and the three Jupiter planes will work at the same time.

Now this is the first one.

At this moment, the Jupiter aircraft has been debugged and is ready to start working.

Chen Yue gave an order remotely.

"Power on! Well? ”

After a delay of about two seconds, Chen Yue's command was fed back. This feedback made Chen Yue immediately stunned.

"Damn, won't you......"

The weather warning system reports that a hurricane — a hurricane on Earth is the equivalent of a breeze on Jupiter, and at the moment, a real hurricane on Jupiter — will be generated soon. Spawn location, close to the Jupiter plane......

"Don't say anything, run."

Chen Yue immediately gave the order to escape. Let's get out of here first. But just a few kilometers after the Jupiter plane flew away, a huge force suddenly generated from the plane and pressed down fiercely.

The automatic control system immediately increased the jet power of the ion thrusters, trying to stabilize the aircraft itself. But the force is too great, and even if the automatic control system increases the power to the limit, it still can't stop it.

Faced with the risk of the plane being destroyed, the automatic control system resolutely increased the thrust again, regardless of the risk of damage to the ion thruster - it had this authority, and the blue tail flame of the ion thruster was bright and blazing to the extreme. The next moment, the ion thruster exploded.

The Jupiter plane, which Chen Yue had so hard to assemble, lost power and tumbled towards the bottomless Jupiter Abyss, and the next moment, it broke off contact with Chen Yue.

Chen Yue lost it forever.

"How can it be wind shear?" Chen Yue couldn't help roaring in his heart: "So unlucky? ”

Windshear is a climatic phenomenon in which the wind direction changes suddenly, which is extremely threatening to aircraft. This phenomenon exists on Earth, but also naturally on Jupiter. And once it happens, it is more powerful than on Earth.

This time, Chen Yue's hard work for a month was in vain.

"This Jupiter is too unstable......"

After being angry, Chen Yue could only accept this situation in the end.

Just like the famous Great Red Spot, such a huge storm that is large enough to lay down three Earths, has been raging on Jupiter for hundreds of years, isn't it still good? And it seems to be intensifying recently, who to reason with?

If you can't change Jupiter, you can only change yourself.

Chen Yue felt that he still underestimated Jupiter's irritability.

No way, let's improve the design again and improve the stability of the Jupiter plane.

This time, Chen Yue spent six days to redesign the drawings of the Jupiter aircraft, which took half a month to produce, and another month and a half to assemble inside Jupiter, and finally completed its construction again.

This time, Chen Yue, who strengthened the weather warning, chose a place for the Jupiter plane to be "windy and sunny".

Well, even though the wind is fine here, the sky is still gloomy and there are no stars in sight, and heavy clouds of hydrogen sulfide are floating, and the wind speed is still as high as 50 meters per second, which is about the same as a force 10 wind on Earth......

But this is already the best place for the meteorological environment, and Chen Yue does not dare to ask for more.

Under these circumstances, the Jupiter plane finally began to operate.

Under the extraction of the air jets, Jupiter's atmosphere, which already has extremely high speed, was quickly pumped into the interior of the Jupiter plane, and then diverted to different processing plants side by side. Here, a series of separation procedures are carried out in a step-by-step manner, and all gases except deuterium and tritium are finally mixed together and then discharged directly.

Jupiter's atmosphere also contains very small amounts of tritium. Since the air separation was to be carried out, Chen Yue added this process conveniently.

On average, the Jupiter plane can separate about 260 tons of deuterium gas a day, but tritium is only about 0.1 grams, which is better than nothing.

After 10 days of continuous operation, a specially built spacecraft that could fly inside Jupiter's atmosphere arrived and transported all the 2,600 tons of deuterium gas and 1 gram of tritium gas accumulated in those ten days.

In space, Chen Yue's hundreds of fusion-powered spacecraft that have been built are waiting to be fed.

At this moment, with an adequate supply of energy, these ships can finally set off.

Their final destination will be Mars, which is up to 680 million kilometers away at this moment. The purpose is to transport machinery and energy with a total mass of more than 100,000 tons.

That's right, Chen Yue is finally going to start the big development of Mars at this moment.

As early as the period of nuclear fission spacecraft, Chen Yue frequently sent spacecraft to Mars, carried out extremely detailed exploration of Mars, and carried out follow-up development planning. However, due to the lack of capacity, large-scale development has not been carried out.

Now, with the fusion spacecraft, the work can finally begin in earnest.

At this moment, Chen Yue's heart was full of ambition.

"I'm going to build more than 5,000 massive fusion power plants on Mars, I'm going to build millions of factories of all kinds, I'm going to build at least a billion robots, and I'm going to make my footprints appear in every corner of Mars......

I want to have a fleet of at least 100,000 fusion spacecraft, and I want to really connect Mars and the Jupiter system, so that together they can contribute to my scientific and technological progress.

In the future, I will develop Venus, Mercury, minerals in the Earth's wreckage belt, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and all the resources of the entire solar system will support my technological development......"
