Chapter 679 (1/2)
As far as the orbit between Mars and Jupiter, there are thousands of asteroids of different sizes and shapes.
An asteroid floats along its orbit for hundreds of millions of years. The asteroid has a long tube and a pit on its surface. It looks like a large irregular corn with a diameter of about two kilometers. It is the smallest small planet in the asteroid.
On the asteroid, a tracking probe clings to a rock and lights up in ancient space. On the detector, there are clear signs of marching ant group and flying ant spaceflight.
It's the tracker Chen Mo launched a few years ago to confirm the location of the asteroid.
Standing on the asteroid, you can see a little bit of blue bright spot is approaching rapidly. About ten minutes later, the dense blue light spot appeared not far from the asteroid, which was the mechanical pillar launched by Chen mo.
”Discovery of 'corn', in a predetermined position, has been targeted asteroid, Optimus Prime request for independent implementation of the program.” The mechanical column follows closely behind the asteroid, carrying the artificial intelligence to send instructions to the earth.
Optimus Prime is Chen Mo's name for these mechanical propulsors, which is more vivid.
An hour later, the robot's AI received an executive command from Earth: ”request to pass.”
”Confirming 'igniter' position.”
Given the command to execute, instead of being near the asteroid for the first time, the pillar receives the location of another tracker.
In the asteroid belt where we don't know how far away from the corn asteroid, a giant asteroid dozens of times larger than the corn asteroid has been floating in the asteroid belt forever. No one knows how long it has been floating.
This potato like asteroid, which is used to carry out the planetary transformation plan, has been called the ”igniter”.
On the surface of the asteroid, it grabs and attaches the same tracker as the corn asteroid. At this time, the tracker is sending signals in the direction of the asteroid.
”Confirm the position of 'igniter', calculating the track...”
In space, there is no sound, and there is silence around.
The mechanical column starts to accelerate, the top is close to the asteroid, and it snaps into the rock embedded in the asteroid for internal fixation.
One, two, three Thousands of mechanical pillars are embedded in the ”corn” asteroid, including the giant mechanical pillars over 100 meters, which are all inserted into the asteroid, and the engine starts instantly.
At this time, the distance is 431 hours and 37 minutes after the launch of the mechanical column.
”Here we go.”
On the holographic platform of the laboratory, a picture of the mechanical column starting to accelerate the asteroid is playing.
Real time video is also the picture that happened half an hour ago. On the holographic platform, we are also using simulation animation to simulate what is happening on the asteroid belt.
Zhao Min is the only spectator. He can only watch quietly on one side. He can't help or interrupt.
The first step in transforming Mars is to get the internal magnetic field engine back to work.
To achieve this condition, there must be enough powerful energy to wake up the liquid layer of Mars, let the liquid layer of Mars mantle flow up, the molten iron of stars, flow, friction and subsidence convection with the solid metal ball of the earth core, so as to activate the magnetic field of Mars.
Whether Mars has a magnetic field or not is the most basic condition for the success of the reconstruction.
Without the planet's magnetic field, the Martian atmosphere would not be able to withstand the destruction of the solar wind and cosmic rays, and would not be able to create long-term living conditions for life on earth. Therefore, in order to transform the planets that are suitable for the life of the earth, we must start the magnetic field of the planet, and then we can carry out the next transformation. Otherwise, we can get rid of everything.
In order to activate the liquid layer inside Mars, Chen Mo prepared a variety of plans. At present, there are mainly two plans.
One is asteroid impact, the other is ”planetary bomb”. The use of planetary bombs is an alternative, and the first asteroid impact is now being implemented.
If we want to use asteroid impact to activate the magnetic field of Mars, the most important thing is that the impact asteroid is large enough.
Chen Mo has enough technology now, but the current manufacturing conditions don't allow him to build such a large engine to drive asteroids shaking the Martian mantle. So Chen Mo needs to find another way to push an asteroid that can activate the Martian magnetic field.
