Chapter 331: The Martian World

PS: Thank you for your support!

As the captured metal meteorite passes through the Martian wormhole, this large man weighing more than a billion tons has officially fallen into the hands of the earth's civilization.

In the entire process of capturing meteorites, the most complex and dangerous section is in the meteorite star sea.

As many as a dozen meteorite orbit adjustments, extremely long meteorite paths, treacherous space meteorite environments, and fixed-point orbit control through Martian wormholes, each step of the work is full of arduous complexity, and there are often accidents.

Although the meteorite mining work in the past ten years of the earth's civilization has been carried out very well before and after the event, and a series of guarantee mechanisms have been adopted for the support work of the meteorite mining team, after several years of work, there has not been a major safety production accident similar to the shipwreck, but all the meteorite mining tasks cannot be guaranteed to be completed 100% smoothly.

According to comprehensive statistics, many mining teams, even the group with the highest success rate, have a success rate of only 80% at most, and many times, even if they are about to succeed, they will also be due to various reasons, because of some small mistakes in the meteorite flight trajectory, such as the chain collision of the surrounding meteorite environment, resulting in more than expected meteorites colliding with the target meteorite, so that the project reaches the final stage and misses the success.

Every operation of meteorite mining, the cost of its expenditure is so high that ordinary people cannot imagine, there will be hundreds of millions of costs at every turn, once the project fails once, all the investment before and after the event will be wasted, not only the country has suffered heavy losses. It is also a heavy blow to all members of the entire construction team, and the huge bonuses and income will be wiped out immediately, so after the number of similar mistakes is slightly more, all relevant engineering personnel will try their best to avoid this kind of mistakes. As much as possible, through a variety of large-scale data collection and archiving in advance, coupled with accurate data analysis and calculation, the probability of accidents is reduced as much as possible.

Overall, this work is quite effective, but because the specific environment in the meteorite belt is too complex and changeable, there are almost too many possible variables to count, and even a meteorite variable with a key impact may emerge from the distant calculation boundary at any time, so even if the staff has extended the data analysis to the limit of analysis as much as possible, it is still difficult to avoid the occurrence of abnormal meteorite impacts. This often leads to anomalies in the momentum adjustment data throughout the operation, and even ends up being out of the momentum adjustment range of the meteorite carrier.

On several occasions, the poor interstellar miners tried their best to introduce the captured meteorite into the Martian wormhole, but in the end, due to the impact of the abnormal meteorite impact, the flight trajectory of the target meteorite exceeded the adjustment range of the spacecraft, and the trajectory of the meteorite flight deviated from the predetermined orbit little by little, and finally passed by the wormhole location. As a result, the meteorite capture project ultimately fell short.

The shortest planet deviates from the wormhole passage twenty kilometers away. At this distance, in the previous flight trajectory, even if you just turn on the momentum adjustment engine and exert a little influence appropriately, you will eventually be able to redeem the failure, but. After all, because of the frequent momentum adjustments, the spacecraft fuel of the meteorite transport spacecraft was almost exhausted, and in the end, all the staff could only sigh and accept the consequences of the mission failure.

Because of this whole work, all the focus of the work. It is all to adjust the flight trajectory of the target meteorite, so that it can successfully enter the wormhole channel, this working window is the moment that flashes away, once the meteorite trajectory deviates and misses the entrance to the wormhole, then, even if the target meteorite flies slowly, it will no longer have the value of capture.

After all, although the current earth civilization has a certain amount of transportation and capture capabilities, in the final analysis, this ability is also extremely limited.

The meteorite transport spacecraft can affect the meteorite momentum change is quite small, only with the help of the surrounding gravitational environment, meteorite collision variables, as far as possible is that the flight trajectory of the target meteorite coincides with the expected design, and the meteorite transport spacecraft can be a long meteorite trajectory of some key nodes, through the influence of some extremely small variables, the meteorite orbit in the long distance to a certain extent, in fact, it does not have the ability to adjust the target meteorite on a large scale.

This leads to the fact that even if the oil and water of the target meteorite are fertilized, once it is missed, it is missed, and there is almost no way to recover it.

It can be said that as long as it is on the side of the meteorite star sea, even if the target meteorite has not entered the entrance of the wormhole at a distance of 100 kilometers, it is possible to miss the target at the last moment, and the relevant staff have to tense their nerves to the limit and pay attention to the changes every minute and second.

However, unlike the complex environment on the side of the meteorite star sea, once the meteorite enters the wormhole passage, all worries can be said to be completely abandoned.

Because the space environment on this side of the solar system is relatively much cleaner.

Although there are also a lot of meteorites flying around in the solar system, but when it comes to the orbit of Mars, the direct flight from Mars to the moon can be described as a smooth road, and once the target meteorite arrives here, there is no need to worry about being able to escape from the tiger's mouth.

Before the target meteorite enters the Martian wormhole, its specific data has already reached the Martian orbit one step ahead.

In orbit around Mars, there will be special escorts, and a meteorite carrier laden with fuel will diligently wait for the arrival of the target meteorite.

Once the target meteorite rushes out of the wormhole passage and begins to change its orbit trajectory under the influence of Martian gravity, the meteorite carrier will also begin to provide close service, which will exert influence at the critical moment of the meteorite's orbit change, change the trajectory of the meteorite, and make it go straight to the moon.

And once it reaches the end of its life, the meteorite will be shot in the eye and detonated by various tools in the middle of the flight, and it will be disintegrated into countless pieces in space, or grinded, or heated. In the circular process of industrial assembly lines, they are dismantled as raw materials for the space industry.

Every bit of raw material in the space industry will not be wasted, because this is a precious resource, even a handful of sand will go through 9981 processes to be processed into glass and solar panels. Or computer chips, in short, they will never be wasted.

It can be said that from this point of view, to see the degree of development of a civilization, we only need to see its utilization rate of materials, and how much value can be realized in the end after the value of the industrial track is improved.

And the countless kinds of resource reserves bred by the meteorite star sea are for the hungry industrial appetite of the earth's civilization. It is the most precious and abundant food, the value of which is immeasurable.

Even if the current earth civilization can only grab a small amount from the treasure trove of resources of incalculable volume, it can be described as an indescribable feast for the development of the entire earth civilization, and it has a considerable proportion of promoting the development of the overall strength of the earth civilization.

Take the various construction projects that are now underway in the civilization of the earth, these industrial raw materials obtained from interstellar mining. Already the most important force in the construction of Mars bases, as well as moon bases, these cheap and abundant raw material resources. The construction of these two major space bases, which meet the needs of the earth's civilization to the greatest extent, greatly slows down the consumption and waste of material launches on the earth.

Even, in addition to satisfying the huge number of construction projects of the two major space bases, the earth can also get some precious resource feedback.

Some scarce resources that Earth, the Moon, and Mars did not produce, after the decomposition and refinement of meteorites. It was greatly replenished and sent back to Earth, speeding up the completion of some difficult projects to the greatest extent.

And above the lunar orbit, it originates from the continuous income projects of interstellar mining, the lunar orbit at this time. It has become a huge group of gigafactory bases.

The industrial chain of basic technicians is constantly connected, forming a series of high-intelligence and high-performance space factory clusters, which provide an endless supply of raw materials for many industrial projects by continuously pumping these alien mineral resources.

Meteorite fragments, industrial processing bases, and endless space storage bases have all become a spectacle in the sky above the moon's orbit, which is even larger than the many creations in the Earth's orbit.

The difference is only that most of the many existences on the moon are purely industrial production projects, while those in the earth's orbit contain more military connotations and have a strong external deterrent effect.

In short, after Sima Mulong conducted a live investigation of the meteorite Xinghai mining sites, he also had some more in-depth thoughts on some specific policy adjustments and resource investment involving these mining sites.

Now that the desired result has been achieved, Sima Mulong has also begun to leave this area, which can be said to be the farthest territory of the earth's civilization.

However, the process of the meteorite in the entire transportation orbit is quite long, and Sima Mulong will certainly not follow the footsteps of this meteorite and sway slowly behind.

With the help of the convenience of the causal network, the speed of movement at the level of consciousness is unimaginable, so in fact, when the meteorite is still passing through the wormhole channel, Sima Mulong's consciousness has already come to the orbit of Mars.

At this time, the Mars base, after years of continuous expansion and reconstruction, has been greatly improved compared to the original barrenness and desolation.

Not only in the orbit of Mars, there are already a large number of large and small space bases, but also under the surface of Mars, there is an incomparably magnificent underground world.

The Mars base, with its existential significance and value, has a completely different positioning from the lunar base.

The moon base, limited by its quality and location, is positioned as a core development node of future science and technology in the earth's civilization, and is the production base of some core industries.

As a satellite of the earth, it is not only under the nose of the earth, but also has a certain degree of privacy, which is convenient for the development of the secret industry.

The small volume and mass of the Moon, as well as the fact that its gravity level is only one-sixth of the Earth, also makes it have great advantages and convenient conditions for the development of some space industries, which makes the Moon at this stage of the Mars base, which can be called almost the same amount of importance.

However, in terms of future positioning, the importance of Mars is not at all comparable to that of a lunar base.

Because, Mars will be another settlement of the future Earth civilization, the existence of another ecological civilization star.

Mars, which is in the habitable zone, is the most potential for planetary transformation in the entire solar system, and once the transformation is successful in the future, it will even be enough to carry billions or even tens of billions of people, which is more than a lunar base in terms of the value of the earth's civilization.

Similar to the core industrial base of the moon, once the earth develops in the future, the range of options will be very large, some large-scale planets, some moons of Saturn, will be the secret industrial base of the future, although it may not be as intact as the basic conditions of the moon, there is such a unique geographical advantage, but, as an industrial base, the moon can undoubtedly be replaced, and even the number of alternate echelons of the replacement is still quite large.

However, planets like Mars, which have excellent planetary transformation capabilities, are absolutely one of the few in the entire solar system and have their irreplaceable value.

What's more, as an ecological star, Mars still has all kinds of shortcomings and shortcomings, and at present, it is not qualified, and it does not really have the basis for large-scale immigration.

However, Mars also has a powerful advantage that other planets do not have, that is, Mars has native life!

It's a life star!

For this reason alone, it can be said that Mars already has its immeasurable value and is one of the most important civilizational assets of Earth's civilization.

It is precisely for this reason, coupled with the wormhole passage located in the orbit of Mars, that the earthling organization has already started a large-scale construction project on Mars and began the process of migrating to Mars in small batches, even when the strength is still relatively insufficient.

Although there are not many ground buildings towering above the surface of the earth due to the natural environmental factors of Mars, a huge underground world has begun to take shape underneath Mars!
