The Return of the Black Technology of Immortal World

However, space cities may be the future of mankind, but they are also not to Yang Qing's taste.

What he yearns for is a land where he can move freely, not a cold space castle.

Although Venus is most similar to Blue Star, its thick atmosphere has hindered human development.

It would be easy to cool down Venus by adding a few giant parasols, but that would not solve the fundamental problem.

In fact, due to the clouds in the atmosphere of Venus, a large part of the sunlight that hits Venus is directly reflected. Although it is much farther from the sun than the Blue Star, it does not absorb more light than the Blue Star.

Being able to have an atmosphere that is much thicker than a blue star while having a mass similar to that of a blue star, especially without the protection of an internal magnetic field, the atmosphere is blown by the solar wind all the time, which means that there must be intense energy inside it. geological activities, thus releasing a huge amount of gas as a supplement to the atmosphere.

Therefore, even if all sunlight is blocked, it is still unknown when Venus will cool down and reach a habitable level. This time may be calculated in thousands of years.

After all, a behemoth with a diameter of more than 10,000 kilometers is like a red-hot iron ball. It is too difficult to cool it down.

Venus has no solution for the time being, so there is only one target left in the inner solar system, and that is Mars.

But Mars also has its shortcomings, the most important one being that it is too small.

The diameter of Mars is only half of the Blue Star, 15% of the volume, and 11% of the mass. Its surface gravity is 2.5 times that of the Moon and two-fifths of the Blue Star.

Although it has an atmosphere, the air pressure at the bottom of the atmosphere is only one percent of that of Blue Star. Even if the oxygen ratio in the air is suitable, humans cannot survive on it.

You must know that even on Mount Everest, which is nearly 9,000 meters high, the air pressure is only 30% of sea level. Most people have to rely on oxygen bottles to survive, let alone the surface of Mars.

Therefore, it is still a long and arduous task to improve Mars to be like Blue Star.

There are two primary tasks in transforming Mars. One is to heat up and add a few large umbrellas to Mars to reflect sunlight.

If Mars receives only one percent more sunlight, its overall temperature will increase to almost fifty degrees.

At that time, the maximum temperature near the equator of Mars will exceed 30 degrees, and because Mars lacks moisture, the surface temperature is likely to reach 70 or 80 degrees.

Such a large umbrella is also a solar panel. Several or dozens of arrays with a diameter of at least more than 100 kilometers are put together in space. On the one hand, it uses solar power to generate aura, and on the other hand, it uses reflected light to shine on Mars. heat up.

The specific operation naturally depends on the heating effect, but these are actually some mature technologies. The only problem is that there are too many solar panels and a large number of brackets are needed to install them at a certain angle, so use There are a lot of materials, the launch mission is heavy, and it also has to be assembled in space, which requires high technical requirements for workers.

However, now there is no working medium propulsion technology, and there are a large number of robots controlled by Xiao Ai. They are more suitable for working in a gravity-free environment than any astronauts, and they carry a variety of tools with them at any time. Able to perform drilling, laser welding, bolting and other work.

In fact, such a platform composed of solar panels is likely to expand and turn into space castles in the future.

Such a castle is quite large. After all, even on Blue Star, a city more than 100 kilometers away is already considered a big city.

Moreover, there are several large talisman arrays on these platforms, which in addition to increasing the gravity of Mars, also have a defensive function.

Human beings have completely adapted to the gravity of Blue Star in the environment of Blue Star. If they suddenly move to other places, it will inevitably cause various diseases due to changes in gravity. In a weightless space station, over time, they will appear All kinds of space diseases will naturally appear in other places where gravity is insufficient, but they will last longer.

Yang Qing applied the pressure talisman array in the fusion reaction, which is to increase pressure from the outside to the core position, thereby promoting the progress of the fusion reaction.

Although with the size of Mars, it is almost impossible to pressurize it to the pressure of a fusion reactor, but Yang Qing does not need such a large pressure. A standard Blue Star gravity is enough.

At the same time, due to the weakness of Mars' magnetic field, these platforms are also responsible for establishing an electromagnetic field to prevent the atmosphere they have worked so hard to create from being blown away by the solar wind.

Of course, these are all carried out outside Mars. If we really want to colonize Mars, more work needs to be done.

The next step is to put weight on Mars.

As a planet, Mars is the second smallest planet in the solar system. It is only slightly larger than Mercury and has a mass similar to Mercury. Therefore, increasing its weight can not only increase its gravity, but also effectively reduce the pressure on the extraterrestrial platform. energy consumption.

And just between the orbits of Jupiter and Mars, there is an asteroid belt with countless small stars, including several dwarf planets that are only smaller than the moon, such as Ceres and Vesta.

Even Yang Qing is temporarily unable to do anything about such dwarf planets. Dragging them consumes countless energy.

What's more, such mature stars generally have relatively fragile cores and rotation, so it is difficult to install suitable thrusters for them.

You can't just give them a few planetary engines like the wandering earth, right?

However, in addition to these dwarf planets, there are also a large number of asteroids in the asteroid belt, ranging from a few kilometers to hundreds of kilometers. They are Yang Qing's target.

Yang Qing plans to use several years to push these asteroids out of the asteroid belt and then collide with Mars, thereby using their size and kinetic energy to re-ignite the core of Mars and heat up Mars rapidly.

Of course, it is certainly impossible for an asteroid hundreds of kilometers away to directly hit Mars. Such a huge object is likely to directly smash Mars into pieces.

They need to be divided into small pieces with a diameter of about ten kilometers.

Although such a small piece would actually be a disaster if it hit Mars, just like the asteroid that hit the Americas 65 million years ago. Its diameter was only a dozen kilometers, but it directly wiped out the dinosaurs. The entire Blue Star entered an ice age.

But there is no life on Mars, or there are no obvious large organisms, so for Mars, such an impact really doesn't matter.
