The Secret History of Mars

"The way we rebuild the magnetic field on the surface of Mars is to lay out a star-linked magnetic network in the satellite orbit!" After Yuan Yizhou finished speaking, he turned back to motion to Ye Qinghe and handed over the consciousness control of the photosensitive imaging to him. At the same time, there was a lot of excitement in the realm of consciousness. Yuan Yizhou It’s all in the heart.

‘Satellite orbit? That is an area of ​​Mars that was abandoned a long time ago. ’

‘What is the StarLink magnetic field? ’

‘He wants to lay out magnetic fields in satellite orbits, which is an interesting idea. ’

'The layout of the satellite orbit is not protected by a magnetic field and will soon be eroded by the solar wind. He actually wants to lay out the satellite orbit itself with a magnetic field to repel the solar wind. This idea is very interesting. ’

'The theory sounds feasible, but satellite orbit layout and low-Earth satellite launch are technologies that have been eliminated by Mars for centuries. All related disciplines have long stagnated. Even if the theory is feasible, there is no way to pick up this technology again. Research and development is not in a state where mass commercialization can be achieved in 135 years. '

"Everyone is right. This plan involves two key technologies. One is the launch technology of low-Earth satellite orbits, and the other is the material technology of the Starlink Magnetic Network." Yuan Yizhou summed up the Martian people in one short sentence, Key questions raised in the realm of consciousness.

"So far, Martian civilization has used earth experiments as its main strategy and used all its important research and development efforts on interstellar flight. However, your aviation and aerospace technology has not actually achieved any development." Yuan Yizhou first explained, The first key technology is the current situation of Mars. "If it is only used for transportation or travel, interstellar flight is indeed backward compatible and meets the needs of aerospace. But when it comes to deploying satellites around Mars, interstellar technology cannot help at all. This is exactly the case." This is the strength of Earth’s technology!”

Yuan Yizhou changed the image above the stage to a picture of the Earth's low-Earth orbit, and explained: "Currently, the number of spacecraft in the Earth's orbit is very large, and most of them are satellites used for communication, observation and scientific research. According to According to incomplete statistics, there are currently more than 5,600 artificial satellites in Earth orbit."

Looking at the densely packed satellites with different shapes outside the earth, the comments in the realm of consciousness began to diverge again.

’ It seems that human-generated satellites on Earth have become commonplace! '

’More than 5,600 pieces, so many, it’s too exaggerated! '

’ With so many satellites, how much garbage will be generated outside their planet? How come the people on earth have thrown their home planet into the garbage dump? '

…

"Yes, the launch technology of low-Earth satellite orbits has become commercially available on Earth. So much so that our United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs has a headache on how to reduce launches and clean up a large amount of debris, wreckage and waste in orbit to ensure that The spacecraft that are still active and the facilities of the space station are safe." Yuan Yizhou said frankly, "Not to mention our home planet, which is Mars. People on earth have also thrown several artificial satellites in orbit, and they have already rotated several times. Has it been ten years?”

"So, this is a very reliable technology that has been repeatedly proven in practice. Artificial magnetars are launched from the earth to form a star-linked magnetic network to help rebuild the surface magnetic field of Mars!" Yuan Yizhou clearly explained the first key point Technical solutions. Then he paused for a moment and changed the image on the stage to a scene of Earth's artificial satellite orbiting Mars, while waiting for the reaction of the people in the consciousness world.

'It's that simple? ! ’

‘That seems to be the case! ’

‘So the people on earth want to send five to six thousand artificial satellites to our low-Earth orbit? ’

‘What is a magnetar? never heard of that. ’

…

"Don't worry, everyone, we don't need so many artificial satellites to lay out the Starlink Magnet Network." Yuan Yizhou smiled when he saw Shijie's comments, "Because the material we proposed to make the magnetar is neodymium iron boron magnet. , it is the permanent magnet with the strongest magnetism and the largest magnetic capacity today, and can absorb metals more than 640 times its own weight!"

‘Use permanent magnets to make magnetars, one-time investment, permanent moving permanent magnets, wonderful! ’

‘This earthling is quite smart. There are so many elders in our Elders’ House with purple wisdom, but they never thought of such an obvious method! ’

…

I don’t know if he was stimulated by the last comment, but Elder Ji Xuan couldn’t sit still. If this continues, Elder Sakaizumi has already lost two rounds. Elder Cangxi has obviously known this plan in advance and will not object. If he doesn't say something, the authoritative position of the Mars Elders' House for so many years will be in jeopardy in the minds of the people.

"Mr. Yuan, although the volume of Mars is much smaller than that of the Earth, only about 15% of the Earth's, the need for a magnetar interconnection to cover the entire planet's low-Earth orbit requires a large amount of materials. Where can you find it? Too many permanent magnets?" Elder Ji Xuan was more cautious, and his tone was still a discussion. He was a tactful person, and it would do him no good to offend Yuan Yizhou now.

"Elder Ji Xuan is very thoughtful," Yuan Yizhou returned the courtesy and paid him a high tribute, "And we are not just any permanent magnets that can meet the requirements of this plan. They must be neodymium iron boron magnets. This kind of magnet has 60-70% iron is naturally not a problem for Mars. 20-30% neodymium and 10-15% boron are key elements to improve magnetism. These two elements can also be obtained locally on Mars - the content of the outer mantle of the Martian core Rich!"

‘The mantle of a star’s core? That floor of the Presbytery is prohibited from development, the Star Core thermal blanket? ! ’

‘Elder Ji Xuan is indeed wise, this earthling actually has the idea of ​​​​the outer mantle of the star core! ’

…

Elder Ji Xuan saw that the public opinion was in his favor, so he took advantage of the victory and pursued, "Mr. Yuan does not know that this mantle is the last protective layer of our star core and cannot be developed casually. And you mentioned before that the man-made mantle of the Star Alliance Magnetic Network Satellites will be launched from the earth to the low-Earth orbit of Mars. In this case, wouldn’t it be more logical to load permanent magnets from the earth to the satellite?”

In a few words, Elder Ji Xuan turned the topic of Earth helping Mars rebuild into a resource game between Mars and Earth. The public opinion in Shijie instantly turned to Elder Ji Xuan.

"In the initial stage of this project, the Earth will naturally send satellites and permanent magnets. Once they are operational, the mantle of the star core will not become a protective layer, but a hidden danger in the underground city! I am helping the reconstruction of Mars to eliminate this hidden danger , turn waste into treasure!" Yuan Yizhou seemed to have a backup plan and said confidently.

'What? Is the star core mantle, which is strictly forbidden to be mined by our Mars Elder Council, a hidden danger in the underground city? ’

…

The consciousness of the people who know the world has been swaying from side to side, and they are gradually getting tired from the excitement of the opening scene.
