Chapter 449 Crystal Magma
For example, there is a space bounty hunter who discovered a metal asteroid in the orbit between Mars and Jupiter.
This asteroid is composed of gold and silver, and is only about half the size of the platinum asteroid on the moon, but it still cannot be pulled back by the spacecraft.
"It's too big and it's hard to successfully capture unless it's bombed into pieces!" experts analyzed.
The cost of using nuclear bomb mining is too high. If the transportation costs are included, it will be a bit more costly.
After research and decision by technical experts at Miaoxing Space, a space industrial ship was specially designed to mine this asteroid mine. The entire ship was controlled by Ai. It could automatically mine when sailing on the asteroid. After the space industrial ship was filled with ore, it would automatically fly back to the lunar base for smelting and purification.
According to the estimates of relevant departments, the metal ore of this asteroid is enough to be mined for more than ten years. Moreover, with the development of Blue Star Technology, human demand for gold, silver, copper and iron has greatly increased. Therefore, the space mining industry must at least continue to expand so as to meet the needs of human society.
"Although most of the work is left to AI to complete, special personnel still need to monitor it to avoid accidents and cause the AI to make wrong choices..."
In short, even if a large number of space industrial ships were created to capture this asteroid, it would take a long time to mine it, and many similar asteroids in the solar system have been discovered one after another.
Since the Bald Eagle gave up the space industry plan, they have focused on space services and space exploration. Relying on the anti-gravity engine obtained from the Meow Star Group, the Bald Eagle has developed many technologically advanced exploration spacecraft. On the one hand, it can draw a space map of the solar system as soon as possible, and on the other hand, it can also give itself an advantage in the space development cooperation group.
In this regard, the rabbits in the flower farming family really did not devote all their energy to space exploration, so they were behind the Bald Eagle in exploring other planets.
Should we pay more attention to space exploration?
This is certain, but Rabbit invested too much in the space industry plan and Mars reshaping project, so that his work in this area was a little behind. However, as long as Meow Space tilts its resources a little, it will immediately surpass it.
This is also the benefit of space competition among major powers. Opponents can always find your shortcomings and then constantly remind you to find ways to make up for it.
Anyway, the Bald Eagle always works with high profile, and these people are afraid that outsiders will not know about it, so they spread the relevant plans to everyone in the Blue Star, so the reputation of the First Science and Technology Empire has been restored a lot.
This change is actually very normal. Even if the flower planter has the support of black technology from the Cattle Star Laboratory and the bald boss, the bald eagle is still a powerful technology power with a strong foundation. Before the rabbit strictly blocked them, the bald eagle still has the ability to surpass it in some areas.
Not to mention that the bald eagle can grow up, even the hairy bears have become stronger. As one of the members of the space development cooperation group, they have also obtained a lot of black technology products quotas, among which the number of anti-gravity engines is so large that it can be rich enough to be sold to other countries.
It’s not that they are greedy for money and want to sell such important strategic black technology products, but that they really don’t have much extra money to buy and use them. Even if they buy them back, they don’t have that much money to build spacecraft.
So the bear pulled the white elephant over to work together, so that the white elephant would willingly contribute money and efforts, and it only needed to give up a part of the engine quota.
Not only that, the bear also promised the White Elephant to become an associate member of the Space Development Cooperation Group, which is something that many countries dream of.
Now all countries in Blue Star understand that countries and people who do not join the space development cooperation group will inevitably become Blue Star natives.
The rapid development of space development in humans in recent years has made everyone confirm this.
Especially after the Mars environmental reshaping project is released, it can basically be believed that within a few decades, Mars will definitely become the second home of mankind!
Faced with this development trend, everyone wants to squeeze into this cooperative organization, but so far it has only three formal member states and three associate member states, which really has very strict access conditions.
Even though this organization has few members, its member states account for about one-third of the world's population. If three associate member states are counted, it will exceed more than half of the population.
The three associate member states are rabbit-supported chickens, white elephants supported by feather bears, and bulls supported by bald eagles.
These few of them were limited by various procedures and access conditions and were never able to successfully join, because when the three countries established the space development cooperation group, they had stipulated that new members must obtain permission from their three countries so that they could develop from associate members to formal members.
The three associate member states, including the Flying Chicken, Baixiang and Niu Niu, have the opportunity to join, but even if they have obtained the consent of two of the major countries, there will still be another major country that will definitely oppose it. Moreover, these member states often play in cooperation, which has a very tacit understanding to keep the members of the Space Development Cooperation Group unchanged.
For example, when Niu Niu applies to become a regular employee, Mao Xiong will deliberately make trouble, and will never give Niu Niu any face and will firmly vote against it.
The bald eagle did not disagree, but did not put pressure on the hairy bear. Instead, he secretly praised the other party. As for the rabbit, he said that the hairy bear agreed and I agreed, and then Niu Niu's application efforts were completely failed.
The other two affiliated member states also had the same experience. In the fight between several major countries, they could only wait for opportunities with hatred. Even if someone proposed to start a new space development cooperation organization, it would have to solve space technologies such as anti-gravity engines.
Because according to the provisions of the Space Development Cooperation Group, it is impossible to obtain quotas for various Cat Star Black Technology products without their permission, and just one engine can limit countries to a strict limit.
More importantly, at present, only these three countries have space forces. Any violations in other countries can be warned through the Space Force. If the warning is not very useful, then use force to correct it.
After entering the space colonization era, the population problem of Blue Star was naturally solved, which made several space powers feel that the population was insufficient, especially for the hairy bears whose population is shrinking. No space city or Mars colonization has anything to do with them.
Now the territory on the surface of Blue Star does not have enough population to develop, so how could it be possible to invest huge amounts of money to go to the sky to compete with the other two major powers for planetary colonies?
But in the long run, Mars colonization is of great significance to national development. If you don’t take advantage of the situation, it will be difficult to have such an easy and good opportunity in the future!
Therefore, increasing the population is the basic policy of a space power. In the past decade, the population growth of Blue Star has entered an explosion stage. Rich countries are stimulating people's childbirth, and poor people are also constantly surviving. Soon, this year, the global population exceeded 10 billion!
However, the most born are poor and backward countries. With the popularization and promotion of Meow Star Black Technology's cloning technology, the production of meat no longer requires consuming a lot of food, so that Blue Star can feed more people.
"But the population growth in developed countries is not ideal..." said an expert on the media platform.
Because the popularity of intelligent machines has accelerated the collapse of the basic structure of human society, especially after the launch of the new generation of computer angels, more and more otaku men and women have lost the motivation to start a family.
In addition, Cyborg technology has given ordinary people the possibility of immortality. When humans can survive for at least a few hundred years, reproduction is no longer important. Everyone expects that their quality of life can be better, but families usually become a burden to individuals in life.
Moreover, human life span has been extended to hundreds of years. Faced with an extremely long life, getting married and having children is no longer so urgent!
Human society has entered the era of collective enjoyment, and everyone begins to pursue their own meaning of life, rather than tying themselves into family responsibilities. Just like the elves in Western Fantasy novels, people's fertility rate suddenly becomes much lower.
When changes occur in every society, many conservative groups usually oppose this change. Even though they enjoy the convenience benefits brought by technology, these people still want to limit the influence of Meow Star Technology.
These people gathered together to protest, believing that the products of the Meow Star Group have greatly damaged the social structure. For example, bionic people like computer angels decided to stop production immediately, otherwise humans will become extinct if this continues!
If there was no artificial kogen technology, it might be like these people described, with the popularization of Cyborg technology and the closer relationship between humans and computer angels, the population of human society will gradually stagnate after reaching a peak of 10 billion, and it may even be that no newborns will be born in hundreds of years!
By then, Blue Star humans will likely become increasingly negative like the movie "Son of Humanity" because they have no future and future, and many people may even give up all their hopes!
But the invention of artificial Zigong will not make this terrible end-of-day scene a reality. Even though this technology has not been promoted and popularized due to some government concerns, it has been used to solve the disease of infertility.
Even though it can give birth to life in vitro, in most cases, women who have lost their fertility due to some condition usually use artificial cloning of their autologous organs and then undergo surgical re-implantation to restore function.
This method is just the choice of ordinary women, but for those strong women, female celebrities and rich women, in order to save the pain of giving birth, they would rather let the gongzi tribute to give birth to their offspring instead of them.
No matter which method is used, it can insure human reproduction ability. Even if all humans are unwilling to give birth to offspring in the future, they can create new life through artificial tribute.
"But if you do that, you must first improve the function of social raising. Otherwise, finding parents for so many newborns may be a big problem!" The expert analyzed.
This is also the reason why the relevant departments do not want to make Zaozigong technology popularize. If someone uses this technology to create a large number of descendants and the government cannot supervise it, it will definitely cause very big social problems.
“It is indeed necessary to be wary of the abuse of this technology!”
Most people agree with this view. After all, someone once wanted to learn from Mitsumasa Tou and different women to have 100 children. As a result, after the incident was exposed, the 100 children's plan was strangled.
But during this period, he had given birth to more than a dozen children with different women, which shows that this guy is not just talking about it!
If artificial zigong technology is really popularized, people like him can easily complete the Hundred Zi Plan. On the surface, it can indeed help the country increase its population, but in fact it causes a lot of consequences.
...
The Mars environmental remodeling project is progressing smoothly, at least to the moment.
The flower-planting family government has released many space bounty missions in China, allowing a large number of firefly spacecraft owners to go to space to find water-rich meteorites, and then drag these meteorites to the Martian gravitational circle and let it fall to a designated area.
"There are many water resources in space, which exist in the form of huge ice meteorites, so this work is actually easy to complete!" the expert explained.
After mass production of anti-gravity engines, humans have obtained large-scale asteroid mining capabilities, and the entire solar system is about to become the back garden of humans. The owners of these firefly spacecraft are pioneers, they are flexible and maneuverable and able to adapt to complex and changeable tasks.
Humans have discovered a large number of ice crystal meteorites in Saturn's rings, which are of moderate size, which is very suitable for firefly spacecraft to drag them to Mars.
With the efforts of a large number of firefly spacecraft, a wet zone appeared on Mars, and as the water gradually accumulates, a small lake has even formed.
Solving water resources is only part of the project. The most important thing is to restore the planet's magnetic field as soon as possible. The project of digging holes on both poles is underway as planned and it was quickly dug to a depth of 10,000 meters, but at this time it encountered a considerable problem.
"The Mars crust is too strong, much stronger than our Blue Star, and the temperature underground is also very high!" said the project manager.
So far, they have dug more than a dozen drill bits, and these drill bits are specially made, dozens of times larger than oil well drill bits, because in the end they have to stuff super magnetic field metal into it to activate the Martian magnetic field.
When they dug to a depth of 20,000 meters, the project had already entered an extremely difficult time and could only dig a few dozen meters deep every day. At this time, they discovered a large amount of crystalline magma below.
After all, Mars is completely different from Blue Star. It is likely that it does not have a continental crust like Blue Star. Instead, it has a large amount of crystalline magma inside, which makes the Martian mantle unable to rotate and thus loses the planet's magnetic field.
"We really can't dig it up!" said the project leader.
