Earth Era - v2 Chapter 460
?Because the planet is so huge, people in space can’t even bring the new Jupiter into view. It is no longer spherical in people’s eyes, but a huge plane extending to infinity. At an altitude of more than 10,000 kilometers, people can clearly see various air currents of different colors crisscrossing the atmosphere of New Jupiter, and even see their flow.
It was one after another incomparably huge, incomparably violent cyclone. The most powerful storm on Earth is as tame as any cyclone on the planet. Many satellites in the distance are suspended in the sky like small glass balls, and super planet accelerators with a length of hundreds of thousands of kilometers are firmly hooped on the planet like golden hoops.
Its rotation allows it to remain in space without being destroyed by the gravity of the new Jupiter. Because it is too long, people also cannot see its ring structure, and what appears in people’s field of vision is a straight line extending straight below the horizon. All equipment has been debugged and all preparations have been completed.
Under the joint order of Professor Laird and Han Luo Standing Committee, the activation order was finally issued. In that instant, each stage of the planetary engine opened the rear cover at the same time, spraying out a faint blue flame.
With the passage of time, the blue flame finally became stronger and longer. The width of the flames of dozens of kilometers gathered together, like a misty curtain covering the new Jupiter. The indescribably powerful thrust was poured into the huge planet below through the ubiquitous magnetic field, and finally it slowly changed its speed and orbit a little.
At this moment, endless winds and thunderstorms appear on New Jupiter. The disturbance of the magnetic field has affected the entire planet, making it change its calmness from the past, and even affecting the deepest part of the planet. People know that although the strong winds and thunderstorms in front of them at the moment are shocking enough, the more shocking changes are happening in places inside the planet that people can’t see.
But no matter how violent or changing the planet is, it cannot affect the planetary accelerator at an altitude of more than 10,000 kilometers. The perfection of the physical theory has completely solved the problem of the unstable operation of the planetary accelerator, allowing it to stand still in any situation.
This scene is not only happening at the new Jupiter base, but also at the new Saturn base.
A number suddenly appeared on the huge virtual display screen, 0.00011, the next moment, it became 0.00022, and the next moment, it became 0.00033.
These numbers are known to show the orbital changes the planetary accelerator has made for it. At this moment, deafening cheers resounded throughout the viewing spaceship. Wherever this scene is passed, there will be cheers. Countless people spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate, and the strict social security policy has been relaxed a little today.
Looking at the ever-changing numbers, Professor Laird had the urge to cry. Scientists at the Science Planning Council have been waiting for this moment for too long, and now it’s finally here.
Professor Laird knew that after more than ten years, the new Jupiter and the new Saturn would enter orbit around each other. At that time, without the need for a planetary accelerator to push, they will spontaneously shorten the distance between each other and finally complete the fusion. Of course, before then, the two planetary accelerators have been dismantled and will not be affected by their fusion.
“All suffering will pass, and hope lies ahead…”
Professor Laird spoke impassively in front of countless media reporters and spectators. Below, Han Luochang turned his head slightly, looked at Wu Wei lightly, and staggered his gaze the next moment. But both of them saw something special in each other’s eyes.
Time is still passing by slowly, yesterday’s carnival is fleeting, and soon becomes a memory buried in the depths. Life will continue on its previous track, and nothing will change because of that spree. After about thirteen years of the planetary boosting project, the planetary accelerator demolition project has officially begun.
In these ten years of promotion, the distance between the two planets has been reduced from 700 million kilometers to less than 5 million kilometers. This distance is enough for them to orbit each other as a pair of double stars, and while orbiting the Phoenix star together, they spontaneously reduce the distance between the two.
They have no hope of being a stable binary pair. That possibility was ruled out when the orbit was first planned. Their only destiny is to become one, and no one can change that.
During the previous propulsion, the satellite systems of the two planets were severely affected. Although they won’t break free from the planet’s gravitational field, they are enough to change the existing orbit. So a large-scale collision began, and the change in orbit further affected the stability of the satellite system, so more satellites fell into instability. So far, more than a dozen satellites that have reached hydrostatic equilibrium have been fatally affected. Even if the two planets keep their current orbits unchanged, they will one day be thrown out, or torn apart by the planets.
The massive collisions created countless small debris in the satellites’ orbits, throwing even the entire near-planetary space into chaos. The impact on planets will not stop. According to statistics, an average of tens of trillions of tons of mass will hit the new Jupiter or the new Saturn every year. This further affects the planet’s atmosphere, making it more violent.
A large amount of gravel even seriously threatens the safety of planetary accelerators. However, people considered this possibility as early as the construction site, and the perfect space defense equipment saved the planetary accelerator from being destroyed.
When the two planets entered into orbit around each other, the demolition of the planetary accelerator officially began. Countless engineering ships, as well as military ships from the military, plus billions of workers and engineers and scientists are involved in this mission. But even with such a huge investment, the demolition work continued for a full five years.
All the dismantled planetary acceleration sections were placed in orbits of stars farther away from the Phoenix star, reserved for the next activation.
The whole civilization began to wait again. Only after the two planets have truly merged and calmed down will the new laying begin.
After another decade, the fusion of the two planets finally begins. The close proximity has changed their shape from spherical to ellipsoidal, and the meeting of the outer atmospheres began years ago. The too fast speed and too close distance seriously affected their satellite system. A dozen satellites were thrown into space and became planets revolving around the Phoenix star, and some of the satellites left the Phoenix directly. galaxy. The most dramatic process occurs a year before the planets fuse. It was a huge satellite with a mass as high as 7% of the earth that lost its stable orbit due to gravitational disturbance. After exceeding the Roche limit of the new Saturn, it was first torn into pieces by gravity, and then turned into a strip and hit the new Saturn. above.
The impact even permanently changed the color of the new Saturn and slightly altered its attitude. But even such a violent impact pales in comparison to the planetary collisions to come later.
In the fusion of the planets, seven Earth masses of gas were ejected, forming a smaller nebula orbiting the Phoenix star, which released even more energy than the sun released during its entire stationary period. one part. After the fusion, the messenger star, the planet formed after the fusion of the two planets, even far surpassed the phoenix star in brightness, and continued for more than four years, only decreasing in the fifth year. To the extent that it is slightly inferior to Phoenix Star. The violent stellar storm even extended the range of the Phoenix galaxy’s stellar circle by two billion kilometers.
It became a star. Although it is only a failed star, it is enough for humans to use.
From now on, the Phoenix Galaxy has lost two planets, but has a companion star. The Phoenix Galaxy has also become a binary star system.
Messenger’s satellite system—no, it should be called planetary systems now—was more affected than expected. Almost all the large moons that have reached hydrostatic equilibrium have left it, with only two remaining by its side. And the orbits of these two satellites are also unstable, and there may be further changes at any time. All that’s left are some oddly shaped smaller moons, and some small things that can’t even be called moons, but interstellar rocks.
However, due to the preparations made in advance ~www.mtlnovel.com~, the satellite used to store fusion fuel and various mineral resources has been well preserved. It had been pushed into the orbit of Phoenix before the planets merged, and it was not affected much in the later interstellar collision-the military specially dispatched a fleet to defend against the meteorites that hit it. In this catastrophe, it became the biggest winner.
The messenger star has not really calmed down, and the push for this satellite has started again. It was once again pushed into the vicinity of the Messenger star and had a stable orbit. In the future voyage, it will become the travel package of human civilization. No matter what is lacking, whether energy or minerals, people will ask for it from it.
After continuing to wait for a full seventeen years – this time was a little longer than the scheduled time – the laying of the two stellar accelerators began again. It took people more than five years to lay the two accelerators on it again. One of the accelerators became the main thruster, and the other accelerator became the attitude adjustment thruster.
When everything is ready, the great voyage that countless people have been looking forward to for more than a hundred years is about to begin.
