Earth Era

Mo Xiangsheng was still explaining in an unhurried manner. His explanation was not very good. It was full of all kinds of imaginative jumps and whimsical changes of thinking similar to his teacher Dr. Huang Yuan. It was difficult for people to follow his thinking speed, but the scientists still listened vaguely. After roughly understanding it, the blood in my heart slowly began to boil.

Although I don’t quite understand it, it feels really feasible.

During this decade, the entire scientific community was under tremendous pressure. The various criticisms in public opinion, the huge changes in civilization, the decline of countless people's classes, from originally happy and contented lives to living in low-level cities, these changes have made scientists hold their breath. And now, people know that the time to exhale has finally come.

Although this crazy plan originated from Huang Yuan's flash of inspiration, without preliminary preparation as a basis, even if that flash of inspiration appeared, it would not be grasped. The work and dedication of the entire group of scientists during this period is the best soil for this aura.

These honors are not only for Huang Yuan himself, but also for the entire group of scientists. The countless days and nights of racking one's brains, the countless nights of sleeplessness, the huge pressure that almost makes one breathless... All these dedications finally bear fruit today.

One question after another was eliminated in Mo Xiangsheng's explanation, and one question after another was answered in the process. The entire explanation process took more than five hours, and the atmosphere in the venue changed from full of suspicion at the beginning to enthusiasm later on.

When Mo Xiangsheng's explanation stopped, warm cheers and applause finally broke out in the venue. Looking at his excited colleagues, the wrinkles on Huang Yuan's face seemed to have diminished a lot.

"The proposal of this plan is only the first step in a long march of thousands of miles. There are still many things waiting for us. I announce that the focus of the Scientific Planning Committee will start to shift from this moment on. Unless it is really important, everyone will put down their original plans. work to participate in this plan. We first need to formulate detailed plan implementation steps, list all the difficult points and carry out technical research, and carry out the overall design and planning of the new thruster..."

After this meeting, the real business begins. Countless measurement teams set out to new Jupiter and new Saturn and began to conduct the most detailed measurements of magnetic field distribution and mass distribution. Countless specialized technical research groups were established to begin looking for solutions to the difficulties in building new thrusters. Countless scientists began Conduct theoretical calculations and make overall plans...

Meeting after meeting, discussion after discussion, there seemed to be no end. There will always be new problems waiting for people ahead, and there will always be difficulties that need to be solved.

It was not until half a year later that the preliminary execution plan was finally formulated. What happens next is not just a matter within the scientist group, but requires the participation of the entire civilization. And such a thing would be impossible to complete without the coordination and approval of the head of state Shen Qingyuan.

Tomorrow is the day when Head of State Shen Qingyuan wakes up from hibernation, and various materials for reporting to the entire Government Affairs Committee and Head of State Shen Qingyuan have been prepared. Huang Yuan knew that after tomorrow, no matter who it was, they would realize the huge power of the scientist group.

The reporting meeting involving only members of the Government Affairs Committee and Shen Qingyuan was still boring and lengthy. The committee members still reported their work content and progress during this period one by one. It was not until more than an hour later that it was Huang Yuan's turn to speak.

Huang Yuan coughed lightly, stood up, and said to Shen Qingyuan and other committee members in as calm a tone as possible: "Head of State, our Scientific Planning Committee should have found a solution to this crisis."

"What?" Han Luochang, Wu Wei and others' breathing suddenly became rapid. Only Zhao Yang and Lei Zhen still looked normal, as if they had known about this matter for a long time.

A faint smile appeared on Shen Qingyuan's face: "Very good, let's talk about your solution."

Everyone is clearly aware that the fate of human civilization will turn again from today on. And this turning point will affect everyone's destiny. A new wave is about to emerge, and no one can yet see clearly what changes this wave will bring.

Before he could think about these things carefully, Huang Yuan had already started his own explanation.

"Although the details are extremely complicated, and there are even many areas where we are still working on technical problems and have not yet found a suitable feasible solution, but overall, this plan is actually quite simple."

Huang Yuan touched a button, and two huge planets appeared on the screen. They have different colors, and the patterns on the stars are also different, but people still recognize them at a glance and know that they are the only two planets in the Phoenix Galaxy, New Jupiter and New Saturn.

Although the mass of new Jupiter is nearly six times that of new Saturn, the size of the two stars is actually not very different. This phenomenon occurs because the higher the mass, the greater its own gravity, which will compress the material it is composed of and reduce its volume. Even sometimes, the smaller the gas giant planet, the higher its mass.

"Our plan starts from these two planets."

Following Huang Yuan's operation, two slender "belts" appeared on the equators of the two gas giant planets and completely surrounded them. Afterwards, bright blue flames erupted from the belt. Driven by these flames, the orbits of the two stars began to change.

"This is the super planet accelerator we plan to build. It is an average of 10,000 kilometers away from the planet's surface and has a total length of up to 500,000 kilometers. Through interaction with the planet's magnetic field, it will be able to exert a huge pushing force to the star after it is started. above it, and drives it to change its trajectory and speed."

Han Luochang, who has long led the industrial sector, said: "It should not be easy to build a planetary accelerator."

Huang Yuan nodded slightly: "That's true. In our preliminary plan, the planet accelerator will be divided into one million sections, each section is about 500 meters long. Each section will be equipped with a planet engine and corresponding magnetic field and Thrust connection equipment. Its height and width are sixty and forty meters respectively, and its mass is about one million tons. Based on this calculation, the overall mass of the planet accelerator is about one trillion tons. And for such a planet accelerator, we need Build two, one to drive the new Saturn and the new Jupiter."

Han Luochang said: "Even based on our current industrial capabilities, it will take at least several decades to complete such a project. This is still under the premise of mobilizing all the power of civilization."

Shen Qingyuan nodded slightly and signaled Huang Yuan to continue.

"With the help of the two planet accelerators, it is estimated that in fifteen years, the two planets will reach a very close orbit. At this time, we will dismantle the accelerators surrounding the two planets to avoid the subsequent merger process. damaged."

In the virtual screen, two huge spheres slowly approached, and the two accelerators slowly disappeared. Under the mutual influence of their own gravity and orbit, the two planets finally became a pair of binary star systems orbiting each other. While each orbited the other, they were also orbiting the Phoenix star.

This binary star system is unstable and cannot maintain this state for long. Their distance is still shrinking, while the speed of their orbits is increasing. Eventually the two planets came into contact and merged together.

This process is extremely intense, and during the mutual integration, indescribable powerful energy will be released. But the outbursts eventually subside and a new equilibrium emerges. During this process, its fundamental form will also change. Its volume will further shrink, its density and internal pressure will further increase, and it will meet the most basic fusion requirements. So it was lit.

"It will become an incomplete star, a brown dwarf. Its surface temperature will be heated to about 1,700 degrees Celsius, and its stellar wind can open up a safe zone of about one billion kilometers in the Bread Nebula. . After a period of time, its outburst will gradually subside, and at that time, we will re-lay the two accelerators above its equator and start accelerating it."

Lei Zhen said: "In the process of fusion, what will be the outcome of their satellite systems?"

Both New Jupiter and New Saturn have huge satellite systems, with a total number of hundreds. These satellites contain rich mineral deposits and are of extremely high value. Even the temporary capital of human civilization was built on a satellite.

"The ending is unpredictable." Huang Yuan shook his head: "The process of planets merging into stars is full of too many unpredictable aspects. Although we know the ending, we still cannot fully grasp the process. According to our calculations, these satellites have about three endings. Among them First, it was thrown out during the fusion process and became a planet orbiting the Phoenix star, or simply left the Phoenix galaxy. Second, it was swallowed up by two gaseous planets during the process. Third, it was lucky enough to retain the current orbit and continue to orbit the Phoenix star. Brown dwarfs move after planetary mergers. But their orbits are unstable. Under mutual influence, the planetary system of the new brown dwarf must be full of chaos and collisions, and it may take hundreds of millions of years to slowly calm down."

Shen Qingyuan said: "In general, we use the fused brown dwarf as a ship, rely on its protection, sail through the Bread Nebula, and finally leave here?"

Huang Yuan nodded: "Yes."
