Chapter 468
Just as everyone was busy with Mars colonization and development, the squat chicken quietly sent an investigation ship to Jupiter's orbit, and they planned to place the colonial target on Jupiter's moon.
There are about 165 satellites in the solar system, but only 7 satellites have atmospheres.
Among these seven satellites, there are six satellites belonging to Jupiter, namely Io, Europa, Iopa, Iopa, Iopa, Iopa, and Iopa. Therefore, the squat chicken believes that there must be planets suitable for space colonization among these satellites.
The first thing they came into contact with Io, but basically all of them were craters, and a caldera of hundreds of kilometers deep, from which a large amount of low-viscosity liquid flowed out, the main components were liquid sulfur and silicates.
In addition, there are some ordinary mountains and smeared sulfur lakes, as well as a large number of sulfur and other compounds waiting, making this satellite look like a hellish scene.
After confirming that Iokai cannot live, the chicken with squat immediately changed the inspection target.
They were lucky this time. The second target was Europa. There was a large amount of liquid water on it, which was the planet with the most water resources except Blue Star.
Having water means that there is likely to be life. Even though this water is covered with thick ice, humans believe that Europa is the second planet with life besides Blue Star.
After inspecting the spacecraft of the squat chicken, Europa is a gentle world. Even though the surface is covered with ice layers with a thickness of up to 100 kilometers, its bottom layer is an ocean.
According to the spacecraft investigation, Europa also has a planetary magnetic field, which allows its atmosphere to be retained well. It also shows that its internal layer structure has a metal core, which is similar to Blue Star.
But its surface is covered with ice, so its appearance is extremely smooth. From space, Europa looks like a glass ball, with thick ice on the outside, and a large amount of liquid water inside.
Because Europa has water resources, the leopard chicken attaches great importance to it and specially sent personnel to the surface to investigate the situation. Then he was very happy to find that in addition to the extremely cold surface temperature, the planet is actually warmer than people imagined.
In addition, people also found that the oxygen in Europa's atmosphere was very sufficient. It was because the oxygen purity was too high that humans could not breathe directly. They had to go through special devices to reduce the oxygen components before they could be provided to astronauts.
However, this is a great advantage. After all, even on a planet with conditions like Mars, if there is not enough oxygen, it will not be able to survive for a long time.
Europa already has two major conditions: oxygen and moisture. The remaining difficulty is that the planet's temperature is too low and it will be around tens of degrees below zero all year round.
"This is a very easy solution!" Li Maoye said at the Meow Star Conference: "If you want to reach the temperature of human survival, you can put special algae and bacteria on that planet, and they will soon proliferate and eventually spread throughout the planet and provide a large amount of carbon dioxide!"
This is a trick of killing two birds with one stone. While increasing the atmospheric carbon dioxide and increasing the greenhouse effect, it can also reduce the oxygen in the air by 100%. As the planet's atmosphere becomes thicker, it will block the light reflected on the surface and eventually convert it into thermal radiation.
Europa is the brightest satellite in the solar system. It is precisely because the ice layer on its surface is too smooth that a large part of the sun's light is reflected and not converted into heat energy to be preserved.
If there is enough atmosphere and carbon dioxide, this situation will definitely be reversed and the temperature of the entire planet will be increased to more than ten degrees.
"The only concern is that when the temperature of the planet rises, the layer of ice on its surface that is as thick as 100 kilometers will melt, and the entire planet will become a vast ocean..."
This is the same as the movie "Future Water World". Humans can only build floating island cities in the ocean and then go with the flow and look for food resources everywhere.
However, compared to the cold and silent world, planets full of water are more suitable for human survival. However, the flower plant now does not have the energy to develop so many planets at the same time. Mars and many asteroids alone are enough for rabbits to reproduce for hundreds of years, so there is no need to rush to transform Europa into Mercury.
But the relevant departments did not think so. After they learned that Li Maoye had this kind of planetary transformation technology, they immediately sent someone to ask for relevant information.
When they learned that the bacteria and algae could quickly adapt to various extremely harsh conditions and could reproduce in large quantities where water was available, and then produce organic matter and oxygen, they quickly began to manufacture tests in the laboratory.
"First solve the air components and organic matter, then you can hair various lower organisms on it, so that the environment of a planet can be completely transformed soon." The experts said after analysis.
In short, after mastering this planetary transformation technology, it is very simple to make a planet full of creatures, as long as there are basic conditions such as water and atmosphere on it.
I don’t know what private activities the rabbit and the squid chicken have. Anyway, this technology was soon learned by Neon Kingdom. After a series of negotiations to exchange interests, the squid chicken finally got the right to use the relevant technical products as I wish.
Simply put, the leopard chicken has the ability to transform Europa on planets, and this transformation method is very simple and much easier than reshaping the natural environment on Mars.
They just need to continuously produce a large number of special bacteria and algae, and then transport it to Europa by spacecraft for sowing. The sowing method is very easy to spread. They just need to send a large number of drones to complete a large area.
"It is estimated that these bacteria and algae will be able to play a role in less than a few years. In more than a decade, the average temperature of the planet Europa will rise to a level suitable for human habitation."
Experts conducted simulations and speculations based on the data and were very optimistic about the Europa renovation project.
In fact, changes are happening quietly. According to data feedback from the observation station built by the Europa surface by the foot-basin chickens on the observatory built by Europa, special bacteria and algae are already growing continuously. They completely ignore the low-temperature environment and can grow rapidly as long as water and air exist.
The only problem is that after the temperature of the planet's atmosphere rises, it takes a long process for the surface ice layer on Europa to melt, which may last for several years, or even decades of not being able to melt clean.
"A strange phenomenon will be formed by then. The atmospheric temperature has risen to more than ten degrees, but the ice layer on the surface still exists. We can only rely on bacteria and algae to melt these ten thousand-year-old ice layers!"
"There is another shortcut, which is to sell ice cubes specifically to space colonial cities. We can lift a large amount of ice cubes into space through anti-gravity engines, and then drag them to the delivery address with the spacecraft..."
This idea is very groundbreaking. The gravity on Europa is much smaller than that on Blue Star, so the anti-gravity engine with the same power can increase more weight. It can even place the anti-gravity engine directly on the ice layer, and then run it to allow ice cubes of the same size to rise.
If Meow Star Group is willing to develop equipment specifically for this, it is estimated that this ice selling work can be made simpler. It can emit lasers to the surface ice layer in the sky, cut out the ice cubes, and then use an anti-gravity engine to lift it into outer space.
At the same time, space transport ships can quickly receive and deliver goods, making the whole thing like an assembly line.
However, there are not many water scarcity in space. At least enough water can be found on many asteroids, and even air is a common thing.
Many space colonial cities built on asteroids do not need to purchase additional water resources. Water is an extremely common thing in the asteroid belt and comet belt in space. Only Mars, a planet that was once rich and lost a lot of water after undergoing a catastrophe, is in need.
Therefore, the biggest buyer of Europa's ice cube is Mars. There are as many as hundreds of colonial cities on it, and each city has at least hundreds of thousands of people. Therefore, solving water resources is very important for these colonial cities.
As we all know, Mars had long been occupied by a large number of rabbits at this time, and the colonial cities above were basically built by rabbits, and colonial cities that use biological construction technology are very sensitive to water.
If sufficient water resources are provided, the construction of Mars colonial cities will be much more difficult and the cost is not worth mentioning.
"So this is a win-win situation?" Li Maoye asked.
Ms. Qin from the relevant department smiled but said nothing, but judging from her expression, the rabbit should have made a big profit from the chickens with feet. As for helping Mars solve the water resources problem, it is just an accompanying benefit.
In fact, there are chickens on the side to help check for shortcomings and fill in leaks, and the space development of the flower planter has become much easier. Anyway, Europa is not an important planet. Except for the more water, other resources are very scarce.
Therefore, the rabbit has no ambitions for it, and it doesn't matter if the entire planet is given to others. Anyway, for the rabbit who has mastered the speed of light navigation technology, the universe is very large.
The Space Development Cooperation Group has no objection to this. After all, all the planets in the solar system belong to all human beings. Basically, they adhere to the principle of whoever develops and possesses them. The ability of the leopard chicken to invest energy and resources in Europa to develop is a good thing for humans.
The reason why the footbath chicken did not compete for Mars with others is entirely because this planet has long become a rabbit colonial paradise, and even the bald eagle cannot intervene, so it took a different approach to find Europa as its colonial planet.
Inspired by this, bald eagles and fur bears have also begun to give up fighting for Mars and turn to studying the feasibility of transformations on other planets, but this is not something that can be done overnight.
At the same time, they also have to consider how to obtain authorization for planetary transformation technology from the Cattle Star Group. The bear may not be a problem, but it is relatively difficult for the bald eagle.
According to the principles of the Space Development Cooperation Group, if members want to obtain support from space technology, they have to use peer-to-peer technology to exchange it, but Meow Star Black Technology has never had that kind of Blue Star Technology that can be peer-to-peer.
In addition, the bald eagle does not want to pay too much for this. After all, the foot-basin chicken can also be used, and it also wants to take this opportunity to obtain the authorization of this technology.
So the Bald Eagle provided a very large government procurement to the Meow Star Group, mainly equipment related to large databases and intelligent monitoring systems, intending to update social security monitoring equipment and systems for the entire country, and even willing to purchase a batch of machine police to combat criminals.
According to past practice, this order will definitely not fall into the hands of Meow Star Group. No matter whether the equipment they sell has a backdoor program or not, it will definitely be framed or even slandered out of thin air.
However, this order did not cause any trouble on the Bald Eagle, and no media person jumped out and said that this system violated human rights or that they would definitely be controlled by the Meow Star Group, etc.
No one thinks that using big data to analyze a person's criminal tendency is contrary to political correctness, and even praises this system with a widespread expression to effectively reduce the crime rate and stop criminal behavior before a person makes a mistake.
Li Maoye knew that in order to obtain planetary transformation technology, the Bald Eagle made a lot of effort to please the Cat Star Group, but I don’t know why they had to install large databases and intelligent monitoring systems. Did the sun come out from the west?
Regarding this kind of problem, Zhou Lin felt that he knew very well the reason, "national management cost issue!"
It turns out that with the continued decline of the economy, even if Cattle Star Black Technology continues to prosper, various domestic problems in Bald Eagle have occurred frequently, especially the high crime rate, which not only caused the poor people to suffer deeply, but even the rich people began to feel unsafe.
In the past, rich communities could be built through high costs, but with the rapid development of technology, the distance between people has become far and very close.
Once there is conflict, it is already very difficult to stay in a relatively quiet area.
Therefore, in order to build a relatively safe environment for itself, to prevent population outflow and reduce social management costs, the bald eagle had to touch the rabbit to cross the river.
"Tsk! Just imitate me!" Li Maoye was not very optimistic about the bald eagle's approach.
He believes that the best result is to make the Bald Eagle regime slightly more stable. As for the purpose of completely changing the entire society and truly reducing the crime rate to near zero, then we should ban guns first.
Perhaps banning guns is useless. It is estimated that a large number of black technological weapons will appear in the future, such as cat-headed rabbit mecha, Cyborg bodies and heterogeneous parasites, etc.
Now it is Meow Star Group that strictly controls these black technology products, so other countries in Blue Star have not been troubled yet, but once the restrictions on related products are lifted, things will be completely different...
