The Return of the Black Technology of Immortal World

A million-ton meteorite falling on the Blue Star would definitely be a huge disaster.

In fact, such a large meteorite can already be called an asteroid, and everyone should be impressed by the power of asteroids.

In the history of Blue Star, several mass extinctions of species, including the time when the dinosaurs became extinct 65 million years ago, were all related to asteroid impacts.

At the beginning of the last century, the mysterious Tunguska explosion should also be the result of a meteorite explosion according to observations.

This was an explosion with an equivalent of more than 10 million tons of TNT, equivalent to a thousand times the power of the Hiroshima atomic bomb.

At that time, the most powerful battleship guns were only more than 400 millimeters in diameter and carried tens of kilograms of explosives. There was no explosive with such earth-shattering power.

At that time, if you want to obtain such power, you have to wait about half a century. After the hydrogen bomb appears, otherwise no matter how many powerful explosives are used, it will be in vain. At the end of conventional weapons, cloud bombs, known as small nuclear bombs, will appear even sooner. Far.

The source of such a powerful explosion is likely to be an asteroid with a diameter of only 60 meters.

Originally, the rocky asteroid was only three times the size of the Eiffel Tower and should not have a mass of one million tons. However, through the influence of nearby stars, as well as its own rotation and other factors, Xiao Ai was able to come up with this, which is a bit confusing. Contradictory conclusions.

Originally, if it was just a rocky asteroid, Yang Qing had no idea. It was still far away from Blue Star and was still in the orbit of Mars. It would take at least a month before it would appear in Blue Star's field of vision.

It's just that this asteroid is quite special. It's very small and hidden, with almost no reflection. With Blue Star's technology, it's not impossible to see it, and the chance of discovery is also relatively low.

Originally, if it were just an ordinary rocky planet, even if its speed had exceeded 60,000 kilometers per hour, it would be very far away and its orbit would be relatively fixed. It would be very easy to destroy it or change its orbit. .

But its weird quality made Yang Qing very interested, so he planned to capture it in space.

Although no one has ever officially mined the moon, it contains a lot of precious metals such as gold and silver. However, these things are not completely floating on the surface. At least within the scope of the base, there are not a large number of gold and silver rich ores. exist.

Not only is there no precious metals such as gold, silver, and platinum, but there is not much of the more important lead.

Lead is also an early metal used in Blue Star. It is said that the tap water pipes in the Roman Empire were all made of lead.

In the black powder era, lead also played a huge role as a projectile.

Also as the lead chamber method, the production of sulfuric acid also played a great role in the initial stage of the chemical industry.

However, in modern times, due to the unique heavy metal toxicity of lead and the many substitutes, it has gradually become far away from ordinary life.

However, because of its ability to absorb various types of radiation, it is still widely used in various medical equipment and nuclear industry fields.

Even Yang Qing chose it as one of the main components of the spiritual energy isolation material.

However, no lead mine has been found on the moon yet, so for the time being he can only rely on Blue Star's reserves.

So even if the asteroid only contains a large amount of lead instead of gold and platinum with similar atomic weights, his trip will still be worthwhile.

That's right, Yang Qing plans to capture the asteroid directly.

Capturing an asteroid is actually not a very advanced task, as long as you are faster than it, and you can slow down its speed and change its orbit, that's it.

It just so happens that the base has these two technologies.

A spaceship equipped with a fusion engine and a protective cover can easily fly thousands of kilometers per second, which is close to the limit of sub-light speed spacecraft.

Even if it is only 0.0003 times the speed of light, after all, the speed of light has something to do with it, and it can no longer be measured by the speed of the universe.

Of course, if there is enough acceleration time and distance, this number can be further improved. After all, long-range force like gravity requires continuous acceleration to achieve faster speed.

If there is one month to accelerate, the final speed the spacecraft can reach is five thousand kilometers per second, which is one-sixtieth of the speed of light.

At this level, if the spacecraft continues to accelerate, it may cause the spacecraft to disintegrate, because the fusion engine of the spacecraft can no longer maintain the acceleration of the gravity engine and the continuous power supply of the protective shield at such a high speed.

Yang Qing's plan is to send a spacecraft to intercept the asteroid, then fly synchronously with it, and use high-power lasers to cut the asteroid.

Anyway, this asteroid is very small and suitable for this cutting method. Those larger ones will not be suitable. You may even need to land on it and then dig it.

But now the spacecraft that Yang Qing left behind has become unsuitable, because that spacecraft was built entirely for carrying people and was not suitable for loading cargo, especially those cut from asteroids.

Wandering in the universe, it is necessary to avoid radioactivity, and there may even be heavy element isotopes with strong emissivity.

Therefore, Xiao Ai needs to rebuild a spaceship for mining. If the base's mining activities were not on track, and Yang Qing was also actively refining micro-nuclear fusion cores for ships, she would not have been able to pass this plan.

After all, if you are guarding a planet that is gradually cooling down, apart from organic matter, what else do you need in the world?

Even the raw materials for mushroom bombs, such as uranium and plutonium, can be obtained through digging in the center of the moon.

However, the base has basically no need for these. It has many ways to obtain those amazingly powerful weapons. If necessary, it can even make a pollution-free fusion bomb that uses spirit stones to ignite and initiate fusion.

This is different from the laser ignition route on Blue Star, but the consequences are the same. This kind of nuclear bomb will not cause pollution.

However, this kind of nuclear bomb is still a relatively low-power weapon for the base.

Possessing the normal-temperature superconductor obtained after being infected with spiritual energy, Xiao Ai is planning to build an electromagnetic gun on the moon with a firing speed of one percent of the speed of light.

There is already one such electromagnetic gun on the base, but its speed is only 200 kilometers per second, and its speed and launch quality are much worse.

Although this electromagnetic gun is not as fast as the spacecraft above, the speed of the spacecraft is gradually accumulated over a month, but the initial speed of the electromagnetic gun is just like this.

At such a speed, no weapon on Blue Star can evade its blow. By the way, it can also be used to maintain the environment of the earth-moon system.

Because there are only a few asteroids and meteorites close to Blue Star that can withstand its blow.

This is true even for the asteroid mentioned above. Even if it will not be directly smashed, it will deviate significantly from its current orbit.

However, Yang Qing is still prepared to demonstrate asteroid mining, because no matter from any angle, the moon cannot be over-exploited.

The moon is moving away from the Blue Star at a speed of more than ten meters every year. If the excavation is carried out too much, to a certain extent, the moon will inevitably separate from the moon and become a new dwarf planet of the sun.

But if you want to conquer the solar system, a large amount of resources are essential, so the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter has become the largest source of raw materials.
