Starting Off With A Blacksmith Workshop - v2 Chapter 373
It is really an unexpected discovery for them to find organic matter on the asteroid. Although the content of organic matter in this soil is particularly small, organic matter has actually been discovered.
Organic matter is the material basis for the production of life. All living organisms contain organic compounds, including fats, amino acids, proteins, sugars, etc., all of which are organic compounds.
Metabolism and biogenetic phenomena in living organisms all involve the transformation of organic compounds.
The discovery of organic matter on this asteroid can also prove from the side that in space, the planets that produce life must not only exist on the earth.
There are organic matter in the universe, coupled with a suitable environment, it may not be impossible to produce life, just like the super earth discovered in the universe by earth scientists before.
The environment there and the environment on the earth are almost like a replica of the earth in observations. In an environment that is not much different from the earth, plus the existence of organic matter, the production of life has become inevitable.
In such a vast universe, the number of planets similar to the earth’s environment is unknown. Even if it is calculated with the smallest probability, it can be concluded that human beings are not alone in the entire universe.
It is very likely that life has actually been produced on the super-Earth observed before, and even civilization has appeared on this super-Earth, and it is very likely that their civilization level is higher than that of the earth.
The discovery of organic matter made the scientist think a lot, and even gave him a strong sense of urgency to some extent.
This moment allowed them to discover the existence of organic matter on the asteroid. As long as this asteroid falls on a suitable planet by chance in the future, under various opportunities, the generation of life will be inevitable.
Such a conclusion will have a huge impact on the entire world. If there are really high-level civilizations in the universe, if the other party discovers the existence of the earth, the earth will be a habitable planet. Appearing, it is likely to cause coveting.
Just like the law of the dark forest written in Three Body, if the earth wants to survive in the vast universe, it must be extremely careful about everything on the earth.
After discovering various rare earth resources and organic matter existing on the asteroid, the astronauts immediately had a discussion about how to proceed after returning to the space shuttle.
And during their discussions, the final fate of the asteroid they were on was also decided by them.
In the end, these asteroids will be dragged and flew to the earth by their aerospace planes. Of course, this move is not to be carried out immediately, but after some experiments, they will ensure that they can really control the asteroids to land safely. to land.
After finally discussing such a solution, they walked out of the aerospace plane again, and then carried out a more detailed information collection on the asteroid.
After they had collected all the information about the asteroid under their feet, they recorded the coordinates of the asteroid, and they left the asteroid with an aerospace plane.
In the vast universe, the number of asteroids is extremely large, just like people can’t count how many hairs they have, the number of asteroids is also innumerable.
According to the previous understanding of the universe, the aerospace plane flew towards another known target asteroid.
The asteroid they selected this time is actually not much different in appearance from the one they just left. They are also irregular stars with a diameter of more than one kilometer.
In terms of volume, the asteroid they are targeting now is larger than the previous asteroid.
Then they will also land and land their next target just like they landed on the Nake asteroid before. After the landing is successful, they will also collect information on these asteroids to see if there is any threat to the earth on the asteroid. Very useful stuff.
If there is no urgent discovery, or urgent resources needed by the earth, then they will try to drag this asteroid to Venus, the closest planet to them, and do an experiment on Venus.
That is whether their aerospace plane can completely pull the asteroid. Their ultimate goal is to control the asteroid to land on the planet safely within the controllable range.
If they can control this asteroid and safely land on a planet, then the asteroid they discovered before containing a large amount of rare earth and organic matter can safely land on the earth under their control .
For an asteroid with a diameter of 1,000 meters, its final volume will reach 523.58 million cubic meters. Such a huge volume may not be able to be controlled by an aerospace plane at all. living.
What’s more, the previous asteroid contained a large amount of rare earth, and this rare earth is a substance denser than earth. Its overall weight can be imagined, and it will not be ordinary.
It’s really not something that can be controlled by an aerospace plane, so for the sake of insurance, it is still necessary to continue this kind of experiment.
If you don’t try this, you will be like a stunned young man, dragging an asteroid with a diameter of 1,000 meters back to the earth. If the space plane can’t hold the asteroid, the consequences will not be human at all. able to bear.
A long time ago, the overlords on the earth were dinosaurs. Although there is no conclusive conclusion as to why the dinosaurs became extinct in the first place, there is an unusual market for the conjecture of an asteroid impact.
An asteroid with a diameter of a kilometer was not pulled by the aerospace plane, and finally hit the earth, and the earth would usher in a catastrophe.
The impact will cause a large amount of dust to enter the atmosphere, thereby blocking sunlight, which may last for a year. It will also cause a large amount of sulfuric acid to exist in the stratosphere in the form of aerosols, reducing the sunlight reaching the surface by 10-20%. Finally, it hinders the photosynthesis of plants.
The complete settlement of these aerosols in the stratosphere will take up to ten years. During this process, a large number of plants and phytoplankton will disappear, and the impact will be particularly huge.
And after the impact, there will be a large amount of infrared radiation penetrating the atmosphere, causing damage to exposed organisms, and the impact will also cause a global firestorm.
If such a possibility really arises, then human beings will usher in the end. It is very likely that human beings will disappear on the earth like the dinosaurs at the beginning, and it is very likely that they will become fossils and fossils like dinosaurs in ten thousand years. oil!
Therefore, when considering dragging the asteroid back to the earth as a whole, all possible impacts must be considered clearly. If there is an accident, then humans will disappear from this world.
At that time, after passing the test, it is best if the asteroid can be dragged back to the earth under control. If it cannot be dragged back to the earth under control, then they will implement the second plan.
The second plan is definitely not as good as the first one, which is to build a large number of aerospace planes and space mining equipment, complete smelting and purification on asteroids, and transport a large amount of useful finished materials back to the earth through aerospace planes. The cost will undoubtedly be much higher.
Or they bombed the entire asteroid with particle weapons, and finally got countless fragments, and they transported these fragments of suitable size and shape back to Earth.
Anyway, there are many plans, but the plan of transporting the entire asteroid back to the earth is the one with the lowest cost. If you think about it, you can know that a complete asteroid has been transported back to the earth. By then, people can mine it however they want?
The asteroid that is their target is not far from where they are now. They drove the aerospace plane to the maximum speed, and it took almost a week to come over the asteroid that was their target again. .
After some series again, the same process as on that asteroid before, finally landed on this asteroid.
After landing, intense and orderly inspections were carried out, and the various terrains and compositions of the asteroid were within the scope of their information collection.
Under all kinds of strict inspections, the asteroid they are on has been thoroughly inspected by them, and everything on the asteroid will be collected by them.
The composition of this asteroid is very different from the asteroid they detected before, or this asteroid is useless to humans.
Above are some very ordinary rock formations. They drilled in the most concave part of the terrain and drilled down to a distance of more than 500 meters. According to the factory, this depth should have reached the asteroid Core.
But they have all hit the core, and the matter they detected has no difference in composition from the matter detected above the ground, which means that the entire asteroid is of the same type.
In the end, such a test result was obtained, that is to say, this asteroid is useless at all, and has no use value for the earth or human beings at all.
This made the exploration team feel unbelievable. You must know that the gap between the asteroid at this moment and the asteroid they reached before is really too big.
The previous asteroid can be said to be full of treasures, but the asteroid they are currently on is useless at all, and the gap between the front and the back is too great.
In fact, what they don’t know is that the asteroid they are on now is normal in the universe, and the asteroid they encountered before is not so normal, nor is it so common in the universe.
When they obtained the second asteroid that they had reached, which was of no use value at all, all the people looked at each other and made a decision.
The asteroid under their feet will exist as a prop for them in the future, and they will use this asteroid to test the traction technology of aerospace aircraft.
After the astronauts made a decision, they immediately used the anti-gravity technology of the aerospace plane to pull the asteroid up, and they drove the engine to the maximum.
The orbit of the asteroid in space began to change slowly under the traction of the space plane. They drove the space plane and pulled the asteroid with a diameter of 1,000 meters towards them. The nearest planet starts moving.
The planet they landed on this trip is Venus, which is the closest to the earth, and it is also the second planet outward from the sun. Inner planets located on the inner side of the Earth.
Venus is also a terrestrial planet very similar to Earth, and is often referred to as Earth’s sister star. It has the thickest atmosphere of the four terrestrial planets. In terms of gravity, Venus and the earth are also very similar. The gravity of the earth is 1g, and the surface gravity of Venus is 0.903g.
It can be said that in terms of gravitational performance, Venus is closer to the earth than Mars.
Therefore, in this traction experiment, Venus is undoubtedly the most suitable experimental object.
Of course, the gap between Venus and the Earth is quite large. First of all, the average temperature of Venus is as high as 462 degrees Celsius. It is the hottest planet in the solar system, hotter than Mercury, which is closest to the sun.
At such an average temperature, it is undoubtedly a luxury to have advanced organisms on Venus. It is very likely that there will be some microorganisms on it. Apart from these microorganisms, no matter how high-level life will exist.
Speaking of the task of towing and landing, with the continuous development and force of the aerospace plane in the universe, the speed of the asteroid is also increasing under the traction of the aerospace plane.
They are almost 40 million kilometers away from Venus, and at their current forward speed, if they want to reach Venus, it is estimated that it will take more than a month before they can finally enter the orbit of Venus.
When the time comes to the orbit of Venus, they will control the asteroid to slow down. At that time, they can also get the desired theoretical results based on the performance of the space plane at that time.
Whether they need support from other aerospace planes or aerospace fighters~www.mtlnovel.com~ They will know by then. As for the high temperature of Venus, which is as high as nearly 500 degrees Celsius, the aerospace planes have particle energy shields Under the circumstances, the high temperature is not a big problem at all.
The month-long flight brought the astronauts on the plane into a boring time again. Fortunately, before departure, like the Mars exploration team, they brought a lot of entertainment items. It is precisely because of this that they did not let them too much. Too boring.
Apart from flying the aerospace plane, the five astronauts have no other tasks, but the scientist who followed the plane fell into endless thinking.
The two asteroids they landed in the universe before, the things they got from them are so valuable for research. Even if this scientist is just an astronomer, he can’t stop him from admiring the detected data. Do research thinking.
