Chapter 68: The Great Planet Shift
The science and technology of the Ocean Group and the entire Tianyuan Star have gradually entered the explosive stage.
By the end of the 25th year of the Yuan Dynasty, a number of probes have been launched to Venus and the rest of the planets, and it is expected that by the end of the 27th year, a number of probes called the 'Observer' series will arrive at the edge of the galaxy to observe, explore, and collect resources, and by the way, also serve as long-range deep space telescopes to warn against possible threats.
It was also at the end of 25 years that the 'pioneers' who had explored Venus and made a lot of jokes finally returned safely. But they were greeted not with the expected welcome and applause, but with questioning, questioning, and even mocking!
Xuanhuang Group and Hetu World finally cooperated and wanted to surpass Dayang Group, but they made such a joke, and the later rescue costs were even higher than imagined.
The nuclear fuel consumed by the spacecraft to Venus alone is as high as 20 million spirit yuan. Coupled with the rest of the costs, the cost of this rescue is as high as hundreds of millions of Lingyuan. This hundreds of millions of spirit yuan can be said to be a waste.
Coupled with the cost before and after this exploration of Venus, a total of more than 400 million spirit yuan, but the joke of a spaceship was gained. You can imagine how everyone 'welcomes' Shi Canghai, Fang Hanle and others!
It's really a shame to be thrown on an alien planet.
However, this matter did not last long, because the Venus transformation plan led by Dayang Group has been on the right track.
In the summer of Tian Yuan 26, three brand-new spaceships officially left the orbit of Tian Yuan Star and flew towards the asteroid belt of outer space.
The three spaceships, powered by plasma engines, were driven by more than thirty plasma engines, and the three spaceships with basically similar structures burst out with an acceleration of 50 meters per second and rushed into the void. This acceleration is equivalent to 5 times the gravitational pull on the ground.
Such a crazy thrust is theoretically enough to push the spacecraft directly from Venus directly into the void, because the gravitational pull of Venus is only 10.4, but the gravitational force of Tianyuan Star is more than 100!
The spacecraft carries the associated plasma engine and nuclear energy modules, and will work on the surface of the asteroid to create the so-called planetary engine.
With the current technology of the Ocean Group, only asteroids have the conditions to build planetary engines. The tail flame velocity of the plasma engine significantly exceeds the gravitational limit of the asteroid, so the tail flame of the engine is not pulled back by gravity. If the tail flame is pulled back by gravity, the engine is meaningless.
At the same time, the 80-kilometer-long super rail gun built in space has finally entered the final commissioning stage.
The appearance of the rail cannon is completely different from the rail cannon on the ground. This is the difference between mature and juvenile.
Although the eighty-kilometer-long rail cannon/starry sky cannon has not yet been completed, it is almost complete, and you can see the crazy posture of the most crazy industrial technology product in the history of this Tianyuan Star.
Eighty kilometers long, the front and rear error of the guide rail of the central body was controlled within 0.6 mm, Zhang Hao gave all the participants a generous reward, including the technician, the person in charge, etc., but also gave praise - not only verbally, but also positions, awards, etc.
The rail cannon is 80 kilometers long and about 300 meters in diameter, and there is a superconducting coil every 10 meters from front to back, and each superconducting coil has an independent power supply system and overload protection, as well as independent computer control.
Every kilometre there is a super coil, which is completely refined with magic weapons. Although in the research process, Dayang Group tries to adhere to independent research and development, but does not exclude magic weapons and other means, but cannot forget the fundamentals.
The texture of these magic weapon-level coils has reached the limit of the current technology, exceeding the power of the spirit treasure by a full ten times, and the magic weapon of this level has been named 'spirit treasure' - more than the spirit weapon, but it is obviously not enough for the name of the 'quasi-immortal weapon'.
The name 'quasi-immortal weapon' is reserved for the next level, which is the realm of refining gods and returning to the void.
Because of the use of magic weapon technology in the later stage, the power of the rail gun has been increased by at least 20%. Of course, if you want to drive the spirit treasure, you need to consume a large number of high-grade spirit stones.
At this time, the engineers were skinning the rail gun. If the coil or wire is directly exposed to the void, not only may it be damaged by tiny space meteorites and space junk, but also a strong magnetic field will be formed when the coil is charged, which will interact with the geomagnetic field and the solar magnetic field.
The design speed of the starry sky cannon is 500 kilometers per second, and after adding the power of the magic weapon, the speed can reach more than 550 kilometers per second, and the cannonball only needs more than 200 hours to fly over the orbit between Tianyuan Star and Venus.
Such an ultra-long-range attack, even if the electromagnetic environment interferes a little, will completely lose its accuracy after flying for more than 200 hours.
In addition to the great movement of spaceships and planets, as well as rail guns, the Ocean Group and ASEAN are frantically expanding their space bases. The scale of the current space base has reached a range of five kilometers, and it is completely an industrial base in space.
Not only that, but the first phase of the project on the moon has also entered its final stage.
The factory on the moon, mainly for mining in the asteroid belt.
In addition to the three small ice planets that have been discovered, the asteroid belt also has several relatively considerable rocky planets, as well as a large number of asteroids in a debris state. These asteroids, the big ones are one or two hundred kilometers, and the small ones are a few meters or even smaller.
These asteroids are too small to build on them, so the best way to do this is to drag the mineral resources to the moon and the earth for production.
At the beginning of August of the 26th year of Tianyuan, Zhang Hao took a new spaceship and flew to the moon to check the construction situation. Bai Xiaodong, the manager who is in charge of the construction of the Moon Industrial Base, was full of excitement and sent out invitations. It is said that the results of the construction of the base on the moon are beyond imagination and are 'gratifying'.
Zhang Hao is also very curious about this 'unimaginably gratifying' construction achievement. I've seen it in photos before, but after all, it's not as good as an on-site inspection.
To say that the moon has been almost transformed by the technology left over from the Xuanhuang civilization. But unfortunately, the technology and equipment left behind by the Xuanhuang Civilization are not all in line with the current technical situation of Tianyuan Star.
Now the mainstream thought of the entire Tian Yuan Star, and the current thinking of the ruling party, is: the technology of the Xuanhuang civilization can be borrowed, but it cannot be copied.
More than 100,000 years ago, or even 200,000 or 300,000 years ago, the Xuanhuang civilization had already been defeated, and the technology left by the Xuanhuang civilization was also from that era. Then, after more than 100,000 years, it will be impossible for these technologies to fight against the Red River civilization.
So, we have to find a different way.
The spacecraft that Zhang Hao is riding on is the second-generation spacecraft designed and produced by the Ocean Group - the first generation has gone to the asteroid belt.
Because of the pursuit of military affairs, the second-generation spacecraft did not optimize the comfort level, and even because of the progress of the power system and energy system, the riding experience was even worse.
Fortunately, everyone is a master of cultivation!
As long as there is a bone in the mouth...... Ahem, with the spirit stone in hand, everyone is not afraid of space traffic accidents in a short time.
Just two days later, the spacecraft reached the moon, and then the ship landed directly on the moon. The design of the second-generation spacecraft is very different from that of the first-generation spacecraft.
Second-generation spacecraft have wheels and can land on the planet's surface. There are also folding wings that can be extended. In fact, this is an oversized aerospace plane.
The spacecraft was so fast that it turned around and slowed down when it reached the moon, and finally began to fall after three quarters of a circle around the moon.
Under the control of the computer and the guidance of the radio, the spacecraft aimed at the runway of the newly built Moon Industrial Base.
The runway is more than 1,000 kilometers wide and 100 kilometers long, and more than 40 large and small mountain peaks have been cleared and more than 50 ravines and craters have been filled in for the construction of the runway.
A full-enclosed dust wall has been erected around the perimeter and indicator lights have been installed. There is a large tarmac every ten kilometers.
The runway is built in the direction of the moon's rotation, so you can take off or land to make full use of the moon's rotation.
The length of the second-generation spacecraft is 200 meters, not counting the width of the wings is about 50 meters, which is relatively bulky. The cross-section is oval in shape and the abdomen is slightly flattened.
There is no air on the moon, spells, etc. are not easy to use, and the main use of the ship's ability to brake when slowing down is the ability of the tires. It taxied for more than 60 kilometers on the runway before stopping, and finally slowly slid into the adjacent tarmac.
The industrial base on the moon, with a range of more than 1,000 kilometers, is a complete super industrial area, an industrial area, and a complete heavy industry chain.
Zhang Hao inspected carefully, but he had to admit that it was indeed amazing.
According to the planning of this industrial zone, asteroids with a diameter of less than one kilometer can be dropped directly at the designated location - the industrial zone already has a delivery and reception plan, which is very simple, 100 cave masters are ready to catch the asteroid falling from the sky with their hands. This is how cultivators should use it~
A kilometer asteroid, you can still try.
After the asteroid comes down, it will be cut into fragments within ten meters (here is the master of the Cave and Void Coordination Method), and then enter the closed factory, where it will be crushed and beneficiated. After that, it was all industrial production. Until the final product is produced.
The finished product includes a wide range of metal ingots, as well as alloys, plates, profiles and even extremely complex machinery, including the associated components of plasma engines.
The entire industrial base has exceeded the original design drawings, and the technical level has also been improved.
Zhang Hao visited here for more than a month, and finally gave considerable rewards to the relevant personnel.
Then Zhang Hao, and even the world, turned their attention to deep space: three first-generation spacecraft arrived at their targets and began to transform the target asteroids.
The target asteroids are all ice planets with abundant water resources.
The world is waiting with bated breath for this moment. An unimaginable, extremely crazy, but also fully scientifically based plan and action is about to begin.
Pull three asteroids onto Venus. The entire journey is planned to take two years, and the three asteroids will 'travel' more than 2 billion kilometers.
The ultimate goal is to transform Venus into a habitable planet!
