Chapter 558 Journey

The construction of the Mars base is in full swing.

The other bundled spark ship is still in the nuclear explosion propulsion stage.

This spacecraft departed from Earth at about the same time as the one going to Mars, but the destinations of the two are different.

Its destination is Saturn.

As one of the eight planets in the solar system, Saturn and Jupiter are very similar. Both are large gaseous planets and also have a lot of natural satellites.

Previously, the Department of Space Affairs had established an exploration system on Jupiter, using nuclear explosion propulsion to launch two spark spacecraft to Jupiter, and built a space station on Jupiter’s synchronous orbit, and launched 93 artificial satellites to Jupiter and its subsidiary natural satellites at the same time .

This time, a bundled tinder spacecraft (five tinder spacecraft bundled together) is launched to Saturn, the purpose is to explore Saturn, especially Saturn’s natural satellite.

For example, the hometown of Thanos-Titan (Titan).

Titan is the second largest satellite in the solar system, with a diameter larger than that of Mercury. More importantly, Titan has a dense atmosphere. Its surface atmospheric pressure is about 1.5 times that of Earth. The core components of Titan's atmosphere are nitrogen and methane.

This low-gravity planet with a dense atmosphere uses a vacuum airship-style landing spacecraft, which is easy to land and return to space.

Of course, the reason Homo sapiens is eyeing Titan is definitely not because it is easy to ascend and descend, but because Titan has more potential than Mars.

After all, Titan has a dense atmosphere, relatively strong geological activities, and liquid oceans and glaciers. Although the temperature is relatively low, the temperature in some volcanic areas is still very suitable for the existence of life.

Why is Homo sapiens obsessed with finding extraterrestrial life?
The fundamental reason is that the discovery of lunar bacteria has made considerable progress in the biosynthesis technology of the lunar Copernicus base, and now it is possible to synthesize some precision parts on the moon.

As long as enough extraterrestrial life is collected, Homo sapiens will be able to develop biosynthetic microorganisms adapted to the environment of each planet, and the spacecraft will be able to reduce some unnecessary equipment and directly use most of the payloads to carry precision equipment and personnel.

After all, in the future space exploration process, if every exploration needs to bring a lot of materials, then as the exploration planet becomes farther and farther away from the earth, the company's logistical pressure will also become greater and greater.

The core function of future spacecraft is to realize local materials collection, collection and supply along the way.

As the planet with the highest possibility of life in the solar system, Titan has a higher priority than Mars.

Had Mars not been relatively large, or a rocky planet, with a large amount of minerals, Homo sapiens would not have painstakingly built a Mars base.

Including Venus as well.

The Homo sapiens company has laid a floating base in the atmosphere of Venus, namely the Yungong project.

At present, the scale of the Yungong base is already very large. A large number of vacuum airships have been pieced together to form a huge floating platform.

Likewise, a strap-on Tinder spacecraft that was recently propelled past by a nuclear explosion was 13 Earth days ahead of its arrival at Mars.

After all, Venus is the closest planet to the Earth, and this Earth's twin brother star, if not for some unknown reasons, it should also be a vibrant planet.

The bundled spark spacecraft that had already arrived at Venus dropped a new batch of supplies onto the upper deck of the Yungong base little by little.

The Yungong base is located in the atmosphere 50 kilometers above the surface of Venus. The atmosphere here is dense. Even at an altitude of 50 kilometers from the surface, the atmospheric pressure is still slightly higher than that of the earth's sea level.

The dense atmosphere makes the buoyancy of the vacuum airship amazing.

Similarly, a vacuum airship with a vacuum chamber of 40 billion cubic meters basically does not have a few tons of payload at an altitude of 50 kilometers above sea level on the earth; however, at an altitude of 50 kilometers on the surface of Venus, the effective buoyancy is as high as hundreds of thousands of tons.

This is also the root cause of the space business department's Yungong project in Venus.

Of course, the dense atmosphere of Venus is not good. Strong winds are the norm, and it often rains sulfuric acid. Without sufficient protective armor and countermeasures, it is impossible to withstand the harsh environment of Venus' atmosphere.

When the Venus exploration spacecraft launched by the old Lucia landed on the surface of Venus, he received a box lunch within a few minutes, which shows the harsh environment of Venus.

Fortunately, various technologies of Homo sapiens are constantly emerging, giving the Space Division the confidence to conquer Venus.

15 humanoid robots appeared inside the Yungong Base.

Apparently, these robots are remote-controlled robots through magnetic monopole crystal communicators.

"Bai Xin, activate the carbon dioxide collector."

"Got it, Captain!"

The robot numbered JX-0024 is the captain of this shift, Stuka. He looked at the vacuum carbon sphere synthesis cabin just transported from the earth, and the task list sent by the headquarters, and quickly arranged various tasks.

Suddenly there was a noticeable shaking in the cabin.

He has long been used to this, and he was very nervous by the frequent vibrations when he first started working on Venus with robots.

Now he has seen it all.

This is the normal state of the atmosphere of Venus. Even with the automatic balance and stabilization system, the Yungong base has no way to eliminate this strong wind.

After all, the atmosphere of Venus is very dense, it is an atmosphere at an altitude of 50 kilometers, and typhoon-level strong winds are normal.

The overall weight of the Yungong base reaches 25.5 tons, and it is still drifting and vibrating constantly due to the strong wind.

Of course, not all of the 25.5 tons of weight were transported from the earth, of which 17 tons were carbon and sulfuric acid extracted from the atmosphere of Venus.

The extraction of so much carbon and sulfuric acid is mainly used as a reserve of industrial raw materials, and also as a counterweight for the Yungong base.

You know, when the construction was first started, the floating speed and vibration intensity of the Yungong base were more than ten times more intense than they are now.

It was with so many counterweights that the Yungong base gradually stabilized.

The Homo sapiens company's idea is very simple, that is to use the raw materials from Venus' atmosphere and surface to continuously produce vacuum airships, and then expand the coverage area of ​​the Yungong base until the entire Venus is completely covered.

As long as the atmosphere of Venus can be wrapped, the so-called strong wind will be self-destructing.

The Homo sapiens company will get a large piece of "floating land", and the gravity of Venus is almost the same as that of the earth. There is no need for a pseudo-gravity system, and humans can live on the surface of Venus for a long time.

That's right, the first habitable alien in Homo sapiens' plan is not Mars or Titan, but Venus.

The Science Division has done many simulations, and they found that gravity is the biggest problem for human beings to open up the universe.

If the difference in gravity is too large, and human beings live in this abnormal gravity environment for a long time, irreversible gene mutations will easily occur in future generations.

At that time, the human beings who have been multiplying in aliens for a long time will be reproductively isolated from the human beings on the earth. This is something that Homo sapiens must prevent before it happens.

Therefore, among the other seven planets that can be reached at present, and a large number of large natural satellites, Venus, whose gravity is similar to the height of the earth, is the alien planet that humans can live in for a long time.

Mars and Titan are only suitable as industrial areas, mining areas, and bases for studying extraterrestrial life.
