Interstellar Industrial Age

v2 Chapter 411: Impact test

In the void somewhere in the solar system, a huge blue dragon-class spacecraft dragged an asteroid with a mass of 450 million tons and flew through the void.

The Qinglong-class spaceship is branded with a red flag and the logo of the Galaxy Technology Group, and it is clear that this is a spaceship belonging to the Galaxy Technology Group.

Poyang Lake, this is one of the third batch of Qinglong-class spaceships produced by Xinghe Technology Group. Because it wants to transform Mars, Qin Yi has also been slowly hoarding spaceships. Basically every batch is produced. Qin Yi will keep a few spacecraft for himself.

The three spacecrafts of Poyang Lake, Dongting Lake and Taihu are all spaceships of the same batch, and they are also spacecrafts that Qin Yi keeps for himself.

The flight trajectory of the Poyang Lake spacecraft is not heading towards the earth, but instead is heading towards Mars. Here in the outer space of Mars, the Dongting Lake spacecraft has already arrived and is waiting very patiently. .

Behind the Poyang Lake spacecraft, in the area of ​​the small belt, the Taihu spacecraft is also dragging an asteroid toward the Mars side.

Using three spaceships at once, it is clear that this time, the Galaxy Technology Group has made a big move.

Many scientists are busy in the Dongting Lake spacecraft. Quantum computers are constantly calculating the flying speed, trajectory, and flight angle of the Poyang Lake spacecraft. At the same time, the computer is continuously simulating the asteroid impact on Mars experiment of.

Qin Yi, Lu Qingwei, Liu Peiqiang, Qiu Feng, Shen Gongbao, and others were also among them, but all of them came to Mars.

"Haha, I didn't expect to be at my age, but there was still a chance to come to Mars."

Professor Qiu Feng looked at Mars outside. The whole person's mood is very good. The times are developing too fast. Things that I could n’t even imagine before are now very rare.

"What is Mars? I'll have a look at the alien planet in the future."

Professor Shen Gongbao, like Professor Qiu Feng, is both studying quantum science and technology, and often communicates with Qiu Feng, both old friends.

"An alien planet?"

"Even if it grows fast, we don't have a few decades to get out of the solar system. I'm afraid we will be really old by then."

Professor Qiu Feng was obviously very excited when he heard it, but after thinking about it, he was helpless and said that he could not borrow another 500 years from the sky.

"Everything is possible, don't say old things."

Professor Shen Gongbao looked at Mars in front of him and seemed to think far away.

Qin Yi looked at the void outside the spacecraft. Mars stood quietly in the void like a ruby. Unlike the earth, the atmosphere above Mars was too thin and there was no earth-like halo.

Qin Yi came to Mars this time, naturally not to come to play.

To transform Mars into a human-friendly asteroid is definitely not an easy task. A very large number of asteroids are required to constantly hit Mars, add mass to Mars, add water, increase the atmosphere, activate the Martian core, generate magnetic fields, and so on.

The conditions for transforming Mars are immature now, and there are not many spaceships on the entire planet, and it is not enough to pull them all over.

However, this does not prevent scientists from performing some experiments on reforming Mars. By hauling some asteroids to hit Mars, and then collecting relevant data, it is possible to more scientifically and accurately calculate the feasibility, cost, and so on of reforming Mars. .

This time, the Xinghe Academy of Sciences came here so enthusiastically to collect data about the impact of asteroids on Mars, and then input these data into a computer to use the computer to simulate the entire process of Mars transformation.

In this way, you can get more accurate figures, and you can know in advance how feasible it is to use this asteroid to transform Mars.

All preparations have been made. The entire Mars, Mars space is full of various monitoring satellites, monitoring everything on Mars.

Above Mars, from the north and south poles of Mars to the equator of Mars, from the vast plains of Mars' northern hemisphere to the ancient plateaus of the southern hemisphere, there are all kinds of monitors, data receivers and so on.

"The speed is 45 kilometers per second, the impact angle is 76 degrees, and the impact location is the Martian equator ..."

Scientists have calculated the coming asteroid impact experiments over and over again, the speed, angle, position, etc. of these impacts are all very important and the information needs to be collected.

According to the experimental arrangement, this time, asteroids of different masses and structures will be mined and impacted on the asteroids at different angles, different speeds, and different positions.

Any experimental inference is based on a large amount of accurate information. Scientists know this very well. Reconstructing Mars is a huge project. Scientific methods may greatly reduce the time and cost required for the transformation.

"Here ~"

I don't know who shouted, and everyone turned their attention to the void.

I saw a huge spaceship dragging an asteroid as if flying from a distant void. At this time, the Poyang Lake spacecraft had not separated from the asteroid, so that the angle could be adjusted at the last moment. .

"Group 1 is ready ~"

"Group 2 is ready ~"

"..."

Inside the Dongting Lake spacecraft, scientists have become even more busy, with sounds constantly sounding, everyone has become nervous, and the experiment of asteroid impacting Mars is about to begin.

"Successful separation of Poyang Lake ~"

"30 minutes countdown ~"

Listening to the sounds, the atmosphere inside the spacecraft became tense, and everyone looked at the void outside, looking at the asteroid that was flying towards Mars.

"This should be the first time in human history to actively mine asteroids to hit the planet, right?"

Qin Yi's side, Liu Peiqiang said thoughtfully.

"Is it necessary to come out and say? We don't even know how to do multiple firsts."

Lu Qingwei's lip-slap, this is no longer popular now. What would have been said about human beings for the first time, how, and the like, but now no one will say this anymore, because the first thing is really There are too many to be proud of.

"The asteroid that led to the extinction of the dinosaur, who do you say is bigger than this asteroid?"

"It is said that the energy released by the impact was equivalent to 100 trillion tons of TnT equivalent, which extinct the dinosaurs and caused a mass extinction."

Liu Peiqiang smiled and talked about the extinction of dinosaurs.

"Who knows that things are too far away, maybe the dinosaurs weren't caused by the asteroid impact."

Lu Qingwei shook his head and said that scientists had many speculations about the cause of the dinosaur extinction. This asteroid hit the earth and caused the extinction of the dinosaurs.

"Of course we don't know, but this time the asteroid hit Mars, we can measure how powerful the asteroid impact is. If we really want to extinct the dinosaurs, we can also calculate the asteroid that year. The power of planets and comets. "

Liu Peiqiang glanced at Lu Qingwei, then turned to look at the asteroid in the void.

"The mass of this asteroid is only 450 million tons, and its mass is very small. I guess we may not be able to obtain something that is too useful. If possible, it is better to be able to drag a billion-ton tons asteroids. Hitting Mars would definitely be better. "

Lu Qingwei touched his chin and thought about it.

"Then you have to hurry up and develop a more powerful second-generation anti-gravity engine. Ten billion tons of asteroids, if you don't, will crush Mars."

Wang Songling, who was on the side, also stepped in ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ The wait was very long, and the chat time passed.

"Rest assured, this 10 billion ton asteroid is also insignificant compared to Mars. If the eggs and stones collide, they can break the stones?"

Lu Qingwei is very confident. Although the planets and asteroids are only one word apart, the quality is different. I do n’t know how far. Even the largest asteroid Ceres still has a huge gap compared with Mars. Don't talk about other asteroids.

Time is slowly passing, but 30 minutes is so long for everyone.

When the asteroids became larger and clearer in the field of vision, and the alarm sound on the spacecraft began to sound continuously, everyone stopped talking and took out the telescope to look at Mars and the set impact. Position, ready to watch this big artificial impact.

In Mars' outer space, although this asteroid has a mass of 450 million tons and a very large mass, it is still an irregular body.

At this time, it was very fast, and it was constantly flipping, and the autobiography was also very fast, like a runaway wild horse slamming into Mars.
