Chapter 1583 (1/2)
The trench project was officially launched.
Two seagull class transport ships set out from the ring city, passing through the gate hovering in the Earth Moon system, and galloping toward Mars.
On board the two ships, there were officers from the Earth Defense Alliance, senior space engineers graduated from the school of aerospace technology of Coro University, and more than a dozen scientific researchers. Although their identities are different, all of them are here for the same purpose.
That is to build a ”trench” between Pluto's orbit and the Kuiper belt to defend harmonious civilization.
On this issue, which concerns the life and death of all people, representatives from all over the world finally gave up the endless debate.
About three days ago, resolution 101 of the earth defense alliance finally finalized the relevant details of the trench plan. This includes the weapons configuration of the Battlestar, including the role of each country in the plan, and the obligations it should undertake.
According to the plan formulated by resolution 101, the whole project will be carried out in three steps, lasting for 20 years.
The first step is to find a suitable asteroid in the Kuiper belt and pull it into the orbit of Pluto in the Kuiper belt as the main structure of the space fortress. The future fortifications and living units, carrier based aircraft hangars and other functional facilities will be completed on this asteroid.
In this way, the two seagull class transport ships embarked on the journey.
However, in addition to those associated with the trench project, there are two special passengers on board the two ships heading for Mars synchronous orbit.
Unlike others, their destination is not Kuiper belt, but Tiangong city
”Have you ever been to Mars before?”
”No
Seeing Lilith looking at himself in perplexity, Jiang Chen couldn't help but look at her strangely, ”what's wrong with this?”
”It's your city, but you've never been up there?”
”Is there anything strange about this?” Jiang Chen said with a smile, ”the leader of any country may not travel all the cities under his rule.”
”Well.”
Lilith nodded, staring out of the window at the unchanging starry sky, saying nothing more.
They are standing in front of the space window in the corridor.
As for why we are standing here, we have to continue with our conversation with Golovin some days ago.
When Golovin told Jiang Chen that they had found the geocentric mine of Gaia civilization, Jiang Chen was stunned at first, and then, like hearing some funny joke, looked at Golovin I who said this seriously and laughed.
”Are you kidding? Mines that have existed for billions of years? Or a mine that goes straight to the center of the earth? Do you mean that there has never been a tectonic movement on Mars for more than three billion years? ”
Any planet will be more or less tectonic movement, even if Mars tectonic movement is not active, there is no similar to the earth's plate drift, but in the time scale of billions of years, no active tectonic movement can produce earth shaking changes.
The mine that goes straight to the center of the earth is like a toothpick of 3400 kilometers, which can be broken in two with a slight break.
”Their technology is so much ahead of us that we can't simply measure it on a time scale. In our ”Hometown”, the underground mines of Gaia civilization are controlled by NATO. We only know that it's a mine with a vertical transmission structure. No matter which direction the geological movement comes from, it can deform the mine, but it will never collapse. ”
Vertical transmission structure?
