Chapter 159 Mercury and Venus Development Plan

In the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter,

In the past, except for asteroid collisions that could be seen everywhere, there was nothing else.

But today, there is suddenly a lively trend here,

Although these ninety battleships are very small in the entire asteroid belt,

But in human eyes, this kind of battleship is already huge.

At this time, on the edge of Ceres, a battleship has maintained synchronization with Ceres.

At the rear of the battleship, the ammunition bay was opened, and the supplies inside began to be dropped onto Ceres.

After the supplies were dropped, the accompanying robots and construction corps began to break away from the battleship.

After arriving at Ceres through their own jet devices, this construction team began to collect the materials that fell on Ceres.

At the same time, construction of foundations for various defensive weapons began.

During the construction process, the battleship has been keeping pace with Ceres. At the same time, it also uses its main guns and missiles to smash asteroids approaching Ceres to prevent them from threatening the construction team.

With the continuous rotation of personnel, the foundation of Ceres’ defense base was laid in a few days.

Also at this time, the second batch of 30 asteroid-class transport ships arrived at the scene.

With the huge material transport capacity of the transport ship, a laser cannon and small fast reactor nuclear power plant facilities were transported over.

After putting down enough supplies and support personnel, the cargo spacecraft rushed to the next location.

Each spacecraft carries infrastructure materials and support personnel for three locations in order to build defense facilities at these locations to protect this location during the first relay construction.

On Ceres, after receiving the support of materials and personnel, a 30-meter-caliber laser cannon was quickly built.

This laser cannon can smash any asteroids that threaten the base and protect the safety of the entire facility.

After half a month of intense construction, the defense base was finally completed.

Except for the three remaining personnel, the other personnel returned to the battleship. As the battleship returned to Blue Star,

When passing Mars, the fleet replenished energy at the base, and then continued to set sail to Blue Star.

Other countries watched the Dragon Kingdom spaceships flying around non-stop and were envious. However, due to their own technical limitations, the cost of sending people to Mars was too high. For the time being, they could only play here on the moon.

However, Lu Chen learned that Longguo already had plans to develop Mercury and Venus.

In the early stage of planetary resource detection, the planetary resources of Mercury and Venus were detected in detail.

On Mercury, scientists have discovered a large amount of metallic materials that exist at high temperatures.

As for the high-temperature materials on Mercury, scientists speculate that there may be a room-temperature superconducting material.

Therefore, this Mercury development plan has also been put on the agenda.

At the same time, the same plan is on Venus. However, due to the thick atmosphere on Venus and the extremely high wind speed of the clouds, it is not feasible to directly launch the robot. We can only rely on the strong weight of the battleship to land on the surface of Venus.

However, there are currently no conditions to implement these plans, because the construction of the first phase of the asteroid defense zone will not be developed on a large scale for at least two months.

Currently, 20 Hummingbird-class warships have been dispatched to carry special detection devices to specifically detect the surface conditions of the two stars.

Venus is sometimes called Blue Star's sister because they are very similar in some aspects.

For example, Venus has 95% of the diameter and 80% of the mass of Blue Star, and their density and chemical composition are very similar.

Although Venus rotates backwards, if Venus was in the same orbit as the blue star when the solar system was formed, life would most likely have occurred.

But sometimes fate is so strange. Only Blue Star is in the habitable zone of the solar system.

At this time, in the orbit of Venus, the Starry Sky 5 spacecraft was ready.

After all personnel were ready, the spacecraft began to land on Venus,

At this time, Venus is surrounded by a thick atmosphere, with a pressure of 90 standard atmospheres inside.

So although the spacecraft has landed on the planet's surface, it can only be dispatched by the original deep-sea robot.

Fortunately, I also exchanged this robotic material technology from Lu Chen before.

This time it is just right to use this kind of robot with strong pressure resistance.

After the robot went out, Starry Sky 5 and a group of people in the outer orbit watched the scene of Venus up close for the first time through the robot's own camera.

Pieces of dust were blown up by strong winds on the surface of Venus, and the sky became bright and gray.

Because it is close to the sun, it is brighter than the Blue Star, but due to the thick atmosphere and raised dust, this strange phenomenon is caused.

However, these do not have much impact on the robot, because its mission is not to admire the scenery, but to explore the resources on the surface of Venus.

After all the robots were released, Starry Sky 5 did not take off. Instead, it turned on the spacecraft's own detection device, began to scan the terrain of the landing area, and then passed these terrains to the robots indicated by Venus.

After doing this, Starry Sky 5 started to take off again and left Venus.

After arriving in space, the crew on Starry Sky 5 breathed a sigh of relief. The scene on the surface of Venus was a bit depressing.

But they were all well-trained people, and they quickly adjusted their status.

Then they drove Starry Sky No. 5 back to the lunar base to prepare to transport the next batch of robots.

On Mercury, because there is no thick atmosphere like Venus,

the ten warships in Mercury's orbit began to deploy robots.

Large containers were pushed out of the warships and slowly fell toward Mercury.

During the landing process, several corners of the container began to open, and the small ion engines inside began to adjust the container's falling angle, so that its largest engines were aimed downward.

When it was about to land, several large ion engines started to slow down the falling speed.

Finally, the container landed safely on the surface of Mercury.

After landing, the container opened directly, and the robots inside began to walk out of the container.

There were a total of 20 detection robots in this container, and each warship deployed ten, so a total of 2,000 robots landed on the surface of Mercury.

This planet closest to the sun once again welcomed human creations.

Seeing that the mission on Mercury had been completed, the fleet began to return, leaving only a quantum repeater running in Mercury's orbit, using To receive robot communications on Mercury.

During this period, ninety defense facilities have been built in the asteroid belt, so in the later construction process, only 30 asteroid-class spacecraft are needed to transport materials and personnel. The garrison personnel on these bases change shifts every half a month.

In the headquarters of the lunar base, geologists are closely monitoring the detection of Mercury.

Since only Starry Sky No. 5 is currently responsible for the deployment of robots on Venus, these experts have temporarily set their sights on Mercury.

At this time, in a picture, the robot's detection equipment discovered suspected rare earth resources.

Under the command of the base here, the robot quickly approached the location.

After the robot approached, it was found to be a pile of white plaster-like objects.

The robot can easily break off a small piece of it with its manipulator,

Put it in the material detector carried by it, and it is immediately analyzed. This substance is dysprosium oxide.

Rare earth elements are scarce on the blue planet, but I didn't expect to see so much dysprosium oxide on Mercury.

According to the scan of this robot, this piece of dysprosium oxide has more than Thirty million tons of reserves.

For this situation, the experts present speculated that it is possible that this piece of dysprosium oxide existed in the past when Mercury's atmosphere still existed, otherwise it should exist in the form of pure metallic dysprosium.

But this is also good. Originally, the mining of rare earth elements in Longguo was restricted due to environmental protection reasons. Now that so many rare earth elements have been found here, Longguo can use them for a long time.

Just when the people present were very happy,

high-intensity radiation was detected on the robot in another place.

After ordering the robot to approach , it was discovered that it was actually a large area of ​​uranium ore with extremely huge reserves.

Preliminary estimates show that the reserves have exceeded 100 million tons, and they are all high-grade uranium ore with extremely rich nuclear materials.

Seeing this situation, the people present almost went crazy. It was really a timely rain. There were not many uranium mines on the blue planet.

And now controlled nuclear fusion has not been successfully studied.

Even fast reactor nuclear power plants can use a lot of uranium 238, but because the overall reserves of the blue planet are insufficient, it is still relatively scarce.

So this time, more than 100 million tons of uranium reserves were discovered, which can In order to make the energy in various places no longer restricted, vigorously accelerate the development speed.

In the following time, many resources were discovered one after another.

However, there are still a lot of nuclear materials on Mercury. In addition to some heavy nuclear materials, there are also a lot of fusion materials piled up under the influence of solar wind.

For example, in a small desert area, the sand there is the same as the lunar soil on the moon. It contains rich fusion elements and is very easy to extract.

Seeing that Mercury's resources are so rich, Longguo made a prompt decision to establish multiple resource collection sites on Mercury to utilize these resources as soon as possible to enhance the national foundation.

And the training of warships also transferred half of them to the double star side, while training, transporting supplies.

Fortunately, there are less than six months left, and the official first batch of Starry Sky No. 5 will be offline.

This time, there will be 50 ships offline, which can greatly reduce the tension of transportation capacity and increase the construction speed.

At the same time, Lu Chen also knew about the official receipt of this time, and was quite envious, but he did not have the idea of ​​intervening. After all, his current resources are enough for the time being, and it is still the kingly way to continue to study technology!
