Chapter 637 Meteorites Hit Venus
,
spnAfter Zhang Shusheng finished explaining how meteorites hit Venus, the scientists present all felt a rush of blood from their feet to their feet.
If we say that for ordinary people, climbing Mount Everest is a great achievement and makes people excited.
So, what about transforming a planet? Transforming a planet with a temperature as high as 500 degrees Celsius into a life planet suitable for human-like life in the future is also a remarkable initiative among advanced civilizations.
This not only involves many key technologies, but also has very high requirements for equipment, transformation materials, and even the computing power of the brain.
It's very simple. If the computing power of the brain is not up to par, the technology is not up to par, and the angle of the meteorite impact is slightly different, there will only be more big craters on Venus, and nothing else will change.[
It is relatively easy to destroy a planet. Battleships can fire volleys of guns, or use some strategic anti-matter weapons or super-large nuclear weapons. These can all be done easily.
But even many second-level civilizations would not dare to think about transforming a planet.
Among them, in addition to the computing power of the intelligent brain, the lack of corresponding technology and the lack of some key equipment and materials are the most critical.
Zhang Shusheng flipped over the document in his hand. What was written on it was the general idea of the plan to transform Venus, so he was not going to say more. "The general idea is in the document. You can look back and take a good look at it. Transforming the planet does not happen overnight.
The most important thing for us now is to take the first step.
Professor Dewey, as the general person in charge of the project, please introduce the progress of the impact experiment."
Dewey: "Yes. Your Majesty. Currently, we have found a planet in the chaotic star belt with conditions similar to Venus, and conducted three experiments. The specific experimental data..."
…
In the blink of an eye, another five months have passed.
It took more than a year, with the participation of a large number of robots and engineering spacecraft, and materials were exchanged along the way. The huge shipyard was finally officially completed.
The amount of work in the shipyard of the battleship factory is not large. The difficulty is that the materials and equipment are expensive. Many of them are simply unavailable.
Zhang Shusheng endured the pain, invested all his points for a year, and bought back all the equipment and materials. Finally, he completed the construction of the dock in the shortest time of one year.
Even Hatton said it was unbelievable that even if the Nok Merchant Alliance had all the materials in place, it would still take two to three years to build such a shipyard.
He didn't know where the emperor got the materials and equipment, and he certainly didn't know that the construction robots used by Zhang Shusheng were all very advanced, and the construction technology came from level three civilizations or even level four civilizations, so naturally they were not level two.
Civilization can be compared.
After Zhang Shusheng, Hatton and others visited the newly built dock. After the photos and videos were widely publicized by major TV stations, the people of the earth were excited again.
Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has quietly given the people one huge surprise after another.
First they traded with aliens, then they built Earth's first robot production line, and now it's even better. Even the battleship factory has been moved back.
For most people, they don't understand battleships at all, nor do they understand how difficult it is to manufacture battleships. However, they only need to know that the empire can manufacture those 2,000-meter-long battleships by itself, and that's enough.
However, Zhang Shusheng did not have time to share this great joy with the people. He only asked the Military Affairs Council to arrange for a senior military official to make an important program with the Imperial Television Station to popularize the warship factory and dockyard.
The focus of his work has completely shifted to the first step in transforming Venus - the impact of meteorites on Venus.[
A week later, the starry sky outside the solar system is close to the chaotic star belt.
An engineering spacecraft is docked next to a meteorite more than 50 kilometers square. On the meteorite, more than 300 engineering robots are working hard.
This engineering spacecraft is not big, more than 200 meters long. In fact, it can only be regarded as a small boat among spaceships, but it is enough as an ordinary engineering spacecraft.
Inside the shipyard, the shipyard and several technical personnel are monitoring the work of the robots through real-time images.
"All robots are working fine."
"The drilling team robot is adjusting the drilling force..."
"The installation team robot is already in place and can start installation at any time."
"The spacecraft is ready to open the cargo bay, and the landing craft to transport the engine is ready."
Amidst the constant reports, scientific and technical personnel are also closely monitoring the entire work process.
Robots are very high-end, and their efficiency is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Only by practicing combat skills can people with martial arts or above compare to robots in certain aspects of work.
However, the biggest shortcoming of robots is that they lack human-like logical thinking and are too mechanical in logical judgment. Once an emergency occurs, without the intervention of technical personnel, it is likely to cause huge losses.
Therefore, although robots are most suitable for construction on meteorites, human technicians also have to watch remotely from the ship.
"This is the eighth meteorite. There are still two asteroids, which are the next difficulties that need to be overcome."
Technical director Wu Kang and shipyard Ye Yunmin casually chatted about the Venus transformation plan. The two had already worked together on three meteorites, making the fastest progress among the three meteorite transformation teams.
"Well, we should have a share of the remaining two asteroids. Our technology and experience are there. Don't worry, Old Wu."
Ye Yunmin was not that worried. Although he was piloting an engineering spacecraft, he was temporarily transferred from the position of deputy captain of the cruiser.
The project is too important and must be completed by elites.
Wu Kang: "I hope everything goes well. This project is too important. Anyone who makes a mistake may become a sinner of the empire."
After saying that, his attention was 100% focused on the on-site construction on the meteorite.
12 hours later, those tireless people finally started to install the engine. It took a full day to install this energy engine specially used for self-propulsion of meteorites.
"Rumble..."
In the universe of sound, after a shock, the energy engine installed on the meteorite finally started. According to the program set by the computer, under the control of the small master brain, it began to fly slowly towards Venus. [
"Great! We can apply to take over the work of asteroid terraforming."
There was a burst of cheers in the engineering spacecraft. After three days, the meteorite was finally able to fly to space near Venus on its own after its shape was modified and its engine was installed.
Two days later, in the chaotic star belt, three engineering spacecraft were docked next to a giant meteorite more than 500 kilometers long. A giant meteorite of this size was completely an asteroid.
According to the decision of the transformation project team, three engineering teams will work together to transform the asteroid.
"We have just talked about the specific plan. There are 5 engines in total. We will do it step by step. Don't be impatient. In the past few days, we mainly carried out some modifications to the surface of the asteroid..."
Wu Kang is conducting a virtual meeting on the engineering ship. Three modification teams are starting work at the same time. It will take about 5 days to perform preliminary modifications on the surface of the planet. For example, some particularly protruding meteorite peaks need to be cut off, and some particularly large craters need to be cut off.
It needs to be filled in. Only in this way can the accuracy of the impact be ensured.
After arranging the work, Wu Kang personally came to his own transformation team. As the person in charge of asteroid transformation, he also personally went into battle.
In the following time, the entire transformation work did not go smoothly.
Compared with the previous 2050 km square meteorites, this planet will be the main force in impacting Venus. If the previous 8 meteorites are just appetizers, these two 500 km-level asteroids will be the main force.
Wu Kang soon discovered that when cutting off certain asteroid mountains, it actually affected the gravity distribution of the entire asteroid. As a last resort, he had to suspend the construction, modify the parameters with the scientists of the project team, and start construction again.
It took a total of 11 days for the first asteroid to be transformed. After intensive monitoring by an expert team and modeling and analysis of the asteroid, it finally passed the test.
The transformation speed of the second asteroid was greatly increased. It only took 6 days for the five energy engines to be installed, ignited and set off, flying towards the space near Venus.
Two days later, Zhang Shusheng took the Zhonghua and arrived at Venus.
"Your Majesty, the 8 meteorites and 2 asteroids needed to transform Venus are all in place. Look over there!"
Looking in the direction pointed by Professor Dewey, in the space ahead, 8 meteorites and 2 asteroids are clearly visible, and they are moving at low speed around Venus.
Zhang Shusheng: "Well, although there were some twists and turns during the process, these 10 celestial bodies were finally transformed and used to impact Venus.
There is no problem with the impact simulation test of Intelligent Brain Computing, right?"
"Well, no problem. During the first simulation test, the level of the intelligent computer was not enough. Later, we used the Intelligent Computer Access Terminal of the Science and Technology Committee to conduct simulation calculations to ensure errors."
Dewey said.
Zhang Shusheng nodded, and then asked Zhi Nao to bring up the data and take a look. Sure enough, several simulation tests were wrong.
The Science and Technology Committee's brain access port is directly connected to Zhang Bing. On Earth, Zhang Shusheng established a large underground brain center, where there are many auxiliary equipment for Zhang Bing.
As a super smart brain, Zhang Bing's own computing power is very outstanding. Even without so many peripheral hardware devices, he can calculate at high speed. However, for long-term considerations, Zhang Shusheng still established an underground smart brain super center to hand over those huge calculations.
Zhang Bing was released so that he could play while being distracted from the astronomical calculation tasks submitted to the Science and Technology Committee.
"Then let's make the final preparations. Don't worry, I have plenty of time."
Zhang Shusheng said with a smile that the final test of the impact plan was also completed. After personally seeing the parameters and confirming the errors, he thought it could be implemented.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Dewey said tremblingly.
At the same time, following Zhang Shusheng's order, the ship's synchronized camera equipment has been connected to the live broadcast room of Imperial TV, and the live broadcast on the other end is about to begin.
Chapter completed!
