The Rise Of Space Technology

"The latest news from this station is that the asteroid that Xinghai Technology has recovered from the asteroid belt and is called the Sword of Damocles by the world has been successfully captured by the earth's gravity and is currently flying around the earth, becoming a moon-like asteroid. Earth satellites orbiting the Earth."

"It is reported that Tang Peng, head of Xinghai Aerospace Science and Technology Group, said that they will divide the asteroid as soon as possible, and smelt the asteroid directly in space, so that the asteroid will not be suspended in outer space for a long time. middle."

"Audience friends, the asteroid mined by Xinghai Technology from the asteroid has become the real sword of Damocles, hanging on the heads of billions of people on our planet at all times."

"Such a huge asteroid, although it has not caused harm to the earth for the time being, it is still an unstable factor that threatens all human beings. Its mass is really too great. A spacecraft to transport such a massive asteroid back to Earth."

"We strongly call on Xinghai Technology to destroy this asteroid to ensure the safety of all mankind."

"This is a global broadcast, continue to pay attention to the asteroid of the Sword of Damocles. At present, the asteroid is already in the orbit of the outer space of the earth, and it has become the sword of destruction that is truly suspended above the heads of all mankind. It may attack any time and anywhere. A devastating blow to us human beings on Earth."

"Experts said that human technology is still capable of safely transporting such a massive asteroid back to Earth, and even the strongest anti-gravity spacecraft cannot carry such a massive asteroid, and Xinghai Technology will not be able to handle this small asteroid. The planet, the best outcome is still to destroy it outright, rather than putting all of humanity at risk for its own sake."

The asteroid was successfully mined back to the outer space of the earth, but the whole world is still paying close attention to it. At the same time, people all over the world are watching, watching how Xinghai Technology will deal with this 200 million mass asteroid. tons of asteroids.

Of course, various reports are still full of responsibilities for Xinghai Technology, worrying about this asteroid, for fear that it will come to the earth at any time and cause a devastating blow to humans all over the world.

Fortunately, Xinghai Technology did not make everyone wait long.

After the asteroid was successfully captured by the earth's gravity, the smelting work of the asteroid began immediately.

It is indeed unsafe for such a massive asteroid to be suspended in the outer space of the earth. It is safest to divide and smelt it as soon as possible.

The base of Xinghai Aerospace Technology Group is here.

"Our Xinghai Technology is a responsible company, and we also know that everyone is worried about this asteroid, so we will immediately divide and smelt it, and directly divide and smelt it in space."

"In order to prove that all this is safe, we will also broadcast the whole process directly, and invite people from all over the world to witness this great moment together. From now on, we humans will smelt asteroids in space and obtain almost endless resources. "

Tang Peng smiled and announced the news.

The voice fell, and the picture on the huge monitor screen on the scene was also switched to space.

I saw the Star Catcher spacecraft dragging the asteroid to slowly change its orbit. After several orbit changes, the orbit of the asteroid is already parallel to the orbit of the space solar power station built in space by Xinghai Technology in the early stage. And the speed of the two sides is slowly approaching the same, recently reached a relatively static state.

At the same time, several spaceships quickly approached the asteroid, and a long robotic arm stretched out directly from one of the spaceships.

These robotic arms are very flexible in space, and all kinds of things get busy quickly.

Some robotic arms fire lasers to start cutting asteroids, while others fix the parts to be cut.

With the powerful laser cutting, the cutting speed is very fast. The powerful laser is like the sharpest blade, cutting a piece from the asteroid effortlessly.

The cut piece was quickly dragged by the spacecraft to the space solar power station and flew to a void. The robotic arm slowly controlled the cut part to suspend in space.

At the same time, in the space solar power station, one side of the solar power panels began to rotate, and the power panels were turned over to reveal the other dark side. The dark side was quickly pulled away, revealing a mirror.

The computer automatically starts to calculate the distance and angle between the two sides, etc., plus the angle of the sunlight, a mirror begins to quickly adjust its angle again.

After a while, streaks of sunlight were reflected, and as more and more beams gathered, in a blink of an eye, the cut asteroid blocks became extremely bright and dazzling.

"Oh, God~"

"It's exactly like what you see in a sci-fi movie, it's incredible."

"They actually use sunlight to smelt asteroids in space!" "It's incredible, unbelievable!"

Seeing such a scene, thousands of news media reporters at the scene couldn't help but open their mouths wide and exclaimed in amazement.

The space technology of Xinghai Technology has developed to such a terrifying level that it has been easy to play all this in space. Such a powerful technology is much more powerful than the space technology of each country.

With the continuous accumulation of a large amount of sunlight, the asteroid block became brighter, and at the same time, the temperature also rose rapidly. In a blink of an eye, the temperature has exceeded the high temperature of a thousand degrees, and it is still rising rapidly.

Under the terrifying high temperature, the surface of the asteroid block began to melt rapidly, and the melted liquid slowly took on a spherical structure.

The original irregular asteroid block gradually turned into a spherical liquid with the melting of high temperature. The outside was molten molten iron, and the inner part was also rapidly melting at a terrible speed.

In just a few minutes, the asteroid block was completely melted and turned into a dazzling liquid ball standing quietly in the sky.

At this time, the sunlight quickly moved away from it and transferred to another newly cut asteroid block.

At the same time, a robotic arm came to the vicinity of this liquid ball. The temperature in outer space is very low. The temperature in space is more than minus 200 degrees. Under such a low temperature, the temperature of the object decreases very slowly.

This is mainly because the heat transfer mainly includes thermal convection, heat transfer and thermal radiation. Because it is a vacuum environment, only thermal radiation can be achieved in space.

If you rely on natural methods to let it cool down, it will take a relatively long time.

Of course, the scientists would definitely not waste time letting it cool down slowly. The robotic arm was quickly busy, the powerful refrigeration system was activated, and the temperature of the liquid molten iron dropped rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, it changed from a blazing white and dazzling state to crimson, dark red, and finally slowly dimmed, gradually turning into a big iron ball.

After it turned into a big iron ball, the mechanical arm quickly pulled it into the cabin of a spaceship on the side, and the smelting work of a small piece was completed.

Next, you need to use special forging equipment to forge this iron block in space, shape it into the shape you need, and then further process it to make the parts needed for the manufacture of spaceships.

All this was carried out in an orderly manner, the spaceships seemed to be very busy, and the robotic arms were very busy in space.

The kilometer-long asteroid is continuously split into small pieces, and then quickly smelted, turned into standard iron pieces and transported to the Xinghai Technology Space Factory in space. Here becomes the parts that make spaceships one by one.

Everyone looked at the screen displayed on the monitor and opened their mouths wide.

There is actually a scene in such a sci-fi general scene that is really shown in front of everyone's eyes.

At the beginning, everyone felt that Xinghai Technology had no way to take this 200 million-ton asteroid, and in the end it could only destroy it.

But now, look at this asteroid. With the busyness of the robotic arm and the spacecraft, a large part of it has been cut off, and parts with a length of more than 300 meters have been cut off.

Then look at solar power plants in space.

At first, I just thought it was a solar power station, but now, everyone finally knows that it is not only used to generate electricity, but also to smelt asteroids.

And the speed of smelting asteroids is so fast.

You must know that smelting steel on earth is not an easy task. It needs to pulverize, screen, etc., and then smelt steel requires a lot of fuel to heat it, so iron and steel plants are often polluting and energy-intensive. enterprise.

But look at Xinghai Technology's smelting of asteroids in space, directly using sunlight to smelt asteroids, a mirror reflecting sunlight, and gathering countless rays of sunlight together, you can obtain ultra-high Temperature is used to smelt asteroids.

It is very fast, the key is that it does not need to consume any energy, because it uses sunlight, and the labor consumption is also very low, there is no need for huge steel workers to work hard to smelt steel, only someone needs to use a virtual machine to control the spaceship. And a robotic arm will do.

Such advanced and sci-fi smelting technology also makes people all over the earth dumbfounded. It may not take long for an asteroid weighing 200 million tons to be smelted, and the speed is too fast.
