Start with a blacksmith shop - Chapter 374 Asteroid Landing
Just as the asteroid exploration team was dragging the asteroid behind them towards Venus, the Mars exploration team had already landed on Mars.
Because there were scientists accompanying the aircraft on this trip, their team’s exploration mission to Mars this time can be said to be particularly professional.
Under the professional guidance of scientists, the uncertainties of their missions on this trip were reduced a lot. Almost all of them were carried out in accordance with the instructions given before departure. Of course, emergencies would inevitably occur in the process. .
Strictly speaking, their Mars exploration team has had many disasters. The last time Snow Owl and his team encountered a volcanic eruption, and then encountered a meteorite impact.
And this time, the Mars exploration team was exploring the underground of Mars. They actually encountered Martian earthquakes. They had this situation frequently on Mars.
Actually speaking, the occurrence of this earthquake was somewhat related to their activities, because they were using drilling equipment to drill deeply at the location of the earthquake, which happened to release the energy under the earth’s crust.
Fortunately, there was not much energy accumulated under the crust of Mars, so the earthquake that occurred was not that big, giving them enough time to rush back to the space plane and escape from the center of the earthquake.
But when everyone returned to the aerospace plane when the earthquake occurred, the astronauts gathered together, watching the earthquake below and talking about it.
“Why do I feel that since we arrived on Mars, this planet has become a little more active? Is this my misunderstanding? Or is it that Mars was like this before, but we only discovered these conditions because we came here!”
One of them expressed the question in his heart, and a scientist who was following the machine returned from the side.
“No one can answer your question. The information we have about Mars is still too little, and we don’t know much about the situation on Mars. But what is certain is that Mars is indeed in an active state now. It could be because Mars is recovering itself!”
After listening to the scientists’ explanations, the astronauts knew that they still knew too little about Mars. Then they stayed here to study everything that happened on Mars.
Time passed day by day, and there was a very small thing in the universe moving towards Venus, and it was dragging an asteroid behind it. This was the space plane that the asteroid exploration team was riding.
The aerospace plane, which is only three percent the size of a kilometer-meter asteroid, is flying hard ahead, while the asteroid is also moving towards Venus, dragged by this gadget.
This picture is actually very inconsistent. It has the feeling of a small horse and a big cart. The gap between the two is actually a bit big. This means that it is in a state of weightlessness in the universe, plus various other factors. , can the aerospace aircraft reach this state.
After a month of towing, the asteroid exploration team finally dragged the worthless asteroid behind them from a distance to the vicinity of Venus.
After approaching Venus, the aerospace plane began to consciously slow down in space, but the effect was not very good. The asteroid’s speed was still so high. In addition, it approached the orbit of Venus and was captured by Venus. After that, the speed slowed down even more.
The astronauts on the space plane that dragged the asteroid over finally realized at this time that there was a problem with their experiment. With the current power of their space plane, it was definitely out of control. The asteroid landed safely on Venus.
Their capabilities were limited and they simply couldn’t control it. After they realized this problem, they immediately sent a signal to the Kyushu Space Agency requesting support.
After receiving their request for support, the Kyushu Space Administration immediately dispatched the aerospace plane it had as a backup force.
However, the distance between the Earth and Venus is quite far, a full 40 million kilometers. Even if the aerospace plane travels at its maximum speed, it will take more than 20 days.
Moreover, there is another problem here, that is, I don’t know whether the aerospace plane sent will be useful by then, or will there still be a problem of insufficient power? These are all unknown.
After the aerospace plane was sent to support by the Kyushu Space Administration, five of the aerospace fighters currently used by the military on Earth quickly packed up their things and urgently chased the aerospace plane ahead.
Strictly speaking, aerospace fighters are not suitable for performing such long-term missions. There is too little internal space on aerospace fighters. In the universe, aerospace fighters are only positioned as carrier-based aircraft of motherships.
But in this emergency situation, they have no particularly good solution and can only send out fighter planes.
Fortunately, air and space fighter planes have a companion function, which allows one plane to take the lead and other planes to follow behind. Otherwise, if there is only one person piloting each fighter plane, it will definitely be unbearable.
The asteroid exploration team, which was still dragging the asteroid towards Venus, calmed down a little after receiving the message from the earth, and changed the aerospace plane from dragging to Venus. Control the asteroid to brake.
It will take at least twenty days for support to arrive from Earth. All they can do now is delay the asteroid from hitting Venus as long as possible.
Then more than twenty days passed. The astronauts on the space plane were extremely tired. They were highly nervous and were always worried about what would happen if the asteroid could not be controlled and crashed into Venus. manage.
Fortunately, their worries are about to end, because their support is about to arrive, with a total of six aircraft coming to support.
But he said that the six spacecraft/fighters currently flying towards Venus were all rushing towards Venus as fast as possible.
The six astronauts on the aerospace fighter plane were okay because the space on their plane was large enough and because of the large number of people, but the multi-day period was not that difficult.
But those five aerospace fighters are a different story. The space above the fighter planes is small after all. After filling the cockpit with enough physical objects, the astronauts do not have much room to move around in the small space. That’s quite restrictive.
It was quite a torment for them to fly all the way from the earth. As the distance between them and Venus got closer and closer, dawn finally appeared in their hearts.
Finally, after a period of time, the six aerospace planes that came to support finally joined the asteroid exploration team. The six space planes that came to support did not say anything. After a brief exchange, they directly joined the team that controlled the asteroid.
With the addition of an aerospace plane and five aerospace fighters, the asteroid that was about to lose control was finally defeated by manpower.
The asteroid was completely controlled this time. The anti-gravity fields and power of the seven space planes were all applied to the asteroid. The asteroid was also controlled in the orbit of Venus by numerous aircraft.
The asteroid at this moment is like a satellite of Venus, just like the moon relative to the earth, but the difference is very big. Who makes this asteroid look smaller than the moon!
After controlling the asteroid, they and their team could start the next step of the experiment. During this period, the scientists following the machine finally calculated the amount of control force required to control the asteroid based on their knowledge.
However, for the sake of safety, all seven aerospace planes were aboard. The Asteroid Exploration Team acted as the commander, and the other six aerospace planes assisted, controlling the asteroid and slowly approaching Venus.
The atmosphere on Venus is the thickest among the four terrestrial planets, more than 96% of which is carbon dioxide, and the atmospheric pressure is 92 times that of the Earth. It is not an easy task for them to pass through such a thick atmosphere.
We must know that the atmosphere of Venus is a full 250 kilometers. After the asteroid passes through the atmosphere of Venus, their party will have to face the strong air pressure of Venus and the high temperature of more than 400 degrees Celsius on Venus.
This is because the aerospace plane has a particle energy shield to protect the aerospace plane inside. If there is no shield, the aerospace plane will definitely cause damage to the aerospace plane if it stays at such a high temperature for too long. Irreversible effects.
Under the control of seven aerospace planes, the asteroid slowly entered the atmosphere of Venus. After entering the atmosphere of Venus, the presence of uninvited guests from their group gave a large place for the charge in the atmosphere to be released.
The numerous charges accumulated in the atmosphere seemed to have found a vent, and they all started to discharge towards them.
The lightning continued, and the asteroids continued to land on the ground of Venus. Although their falling speed was very slow, it was not too slow. Soon they passed through the atmosphere of Venus.
But at this moment, the asteroid had just passed through the atmosphere of Venus and was hit by a huge amount of lightning in the atmosphere. This caused the asteroid to carry a huge amount of electrical energy.
After passing through the atmosphere of Venus, their group entered Venus, but what followed was huge pressure on Venus. After the pressure appeared, the asteroid was somewhat affected.
After passing through the atmosphere of Venus, in order to test whether the asteroid was really controlled by their seven space planes, their seven space planes controlled the asteroid to hover over Venus for five minutes.
During this period of time, when the asteroid was actually controlled by them to hover over Venus, all the astronauts participating in the mission knew that their plan was feasible.
It is also feasible to completely drag the resource asteroid they discovered before back to the earth. Since all this can be done, then the huge number of asteroids in space, whether they have resources or not, are all All can be used by Kyushu.
After the asteroids containing various resources are dragged back to the earth, the resources will be mined. After the mining, the slag can also be transported to the sea for land reclamation.
Wouldn’t it be great to drag asteroids with no usable resources back to Earth and throw them directly into the sea to build continents and expand human life on Earth?
These huge asteroids in the universe have once again become an important fuel for Kyushu’s rise.
Under the control of seven space planes, the asteroid no longer continues to hover over Venus, but is landing on the ground of Venus.
When the bottom of an extremely irregular-shaped asteroid touches the surface of Venus, even if it is controlled again, a large amount of smoke and dust will be generated due to this contact.
The dust stirred up was quickly blown far away by the strong winds on Venus.
The surface of Venus is formed of solidified basalt lava, and its crust is much stronger than the Earth’s crust. This is probably also caused by the huge pressure on Venus.
But even with such a solid crust, after the asteroid was placed on the surface of Venus, it was constantly crushed by the asteroid under the huge weight.
As for the seven space planes that controlled the asteroid landing on Venus, all the astronauts on them were also attracted by all the scenes displayed on Venus.
There are a large number of large craters connected together on the surface, and there are many volcanoes among the craters. It was only then that the astronauts discovered that there are so many volcanoes on Venus.
After their group safely placed the asteroid on the surface of Venus, they did not stay on Venus too long because the environment on Venus was too harsh.
For humans, Venus does not have much use value at all. Even compared with Mars, it cannot keep up. After all, although the magnetic field on Mars is very small, it still has a magnetic field, but there is no magnetic field at all on Venus.
Without a magnetic field, even if you want to restart the magnetic field, it is impossible. There are also various harsh environments on Venus, which determines that its transformation is many times more difficult than Mars.
They have not yet fully understood the relatively simple exploration of Mars. How can they have so much energy to explore Venus again? After they completed the main purpose experiment of this time, seven aerospace planes supported the particle energy shield, Straight out of Venus.
Returning to the universe, all the crew members on the plane, after seeing the bright and vast universe, all the depression caused by the Venus environment was relieved.
After they broke out from Venus, six aerospace planes came to support them. After completing this experiment, they said goodbye to the asteroid exploration team and immediately flew towards the earth.
When they came to support, their preparations were not very adequate, especially for the five fighter planes. The astronauts on them were extremely exhausted, and in terms of food, they had also consumed nearly half.
The aerospace fighters also discovered an unreasonable place during this mission. These things were the reason why they had to rush back to Earth immediately.
As they rushed towards the Earth, the asteroid exploration team also rushed towards their goal. Their next task was to return to the vicinity of the resource-rich asteroid and drag the asteroid as a whole. Return to Earth.
