The Return of the Black Technology of Immortal World - v3 Chapter 311
Today’s Mars is completely different from the past.
Because of the introduction of a large number of comets, the water in the entire Mars is already very close to the proportion of blue stars.
In other words, the future Mars will also be a planet with oceans occupying most of its surface.
In fact, the current Martian ocean has already taken shape, and it has been continuous for several years. The heavy rain all over the world has also immersed the entire Martian continent in a vast ocean except for some highlands.
Because of the continuous impacts over the years, countless dust particles were splashed, and because of the increase in the pressure of the Martian atmosphere, they were directly suspended at high altitudes, so that the dust cloud on Mars was extremely thick, reaching a thickness of sixty to seventy kilometers. many.
Not only in the atmosphere of Mars, but also in the outer space of Mars, the dust particles that broke through the first cosmic speed due to the impact have already diffused.
Among them, there is no shortage of small meteorites with diameters ranging from tens of meters to tens of meters.
Generally speaking, they all fell on Mars, the fragments formed after those asteroids were torn apart by the gravity of Mars.
However, there are also fragments that were hit from Mars, but because the initial escape velocity was not enough, they stayed in the universe near Mars and became a group of new satellites.
In fact, with such a frequency of impacts, the surroundings of Mars should have turned into a mass of chaos long ago, almost like a rocky terrestrial planet suddenly turned into a gaseous planet.
Its mass may not change much, but because of the expansion of the sunlight reflecting surface, it seems that its volume may increase hundreds of times, becoming a new gaseous planet in the solar system.
However, the twelve platforms on the nodes around Mars have long predicted the occurrence of this situation.
Although these platforms have nuclear fusion as an energy source, this is actually just a backup. The main source of energy is the solar panels with an area of hundreds of square kilometers.
After all, the sun is the core of the entire solar system, and the energy it emits, even if it is only intercepted by one billionth, is enough to surpass all the fusion reactors on the moon.
These solar panels have two functions, one is normal solar power generation.
The other is to launch sunlight into Mars, thereby heating Mars.
Of course, it is still mainly to emit sunlight to increase the temperature of Mars, which will affect part of the power generation efficiency.
For example, the surface of a solar panel is designed to be very smooth, reaching the silvery white of the mirror surface, just like the mirror of the silver mirror reaction, it is fixed on a layer of carbon allotrope film that can withstand the cold and radiation in the universe Behind.
This form of battery packaging is obviously not the most efficient one.
For example, in order to accurately reflect sunlight to the surface of Mars, it is inevitable that sunlight cannot directly hit the battery panels, and the efficiency of power generation will naturally drop.
However, everything can be achieved by increasing the area of the solar panels. Initially, the solar panel area of each node was only tens of square kilometers.
More than ten years have passed, and the area has increased to 300 square kilometers.
With the end of the weight gain of Mars, there is no need to consider the trajectory of the flying meteorite, and the solar panel area of the node can be increased to thousands, or even tens of thousands of square kilometers.
Solar panels, whether they reflect sunlight or photovoltaic power generation, the most important point is that sunlight needs to shine on the panels.
When Mars was increased in weight, the impact of these dusts was naturally taken into account.
Although the node is in high orbit, the impact of a large number of asteroid impacts will definitely not be limited to the low orbit area of Mars.
Therefore, at the beginning of their design, they also took on the task of collecting various dust near the orbit.
As we said before, these node platforms, in addition to reflecting light to Mars and increasing gravity, also have a task to add a magnetic field to Mars.
The role of the magnetic field is naturally to make the solar wind, which can directly enter the atmosphere of Mars, bypass Mars far away.
Electromagnetic field, electric field and magnetic field are always difficult to separate. Therefore, metal components near the platform will inevitably generate a certain amount of induced current due to changes in the magnetic field.
With current, there is an electric field, and on the node, the amount of metal that can generate an electrostatic field is huge.
When these dusts come near the nodes, they will naturally be attracted by static electricity.
So up to now, although the dust is still thick in the synchronous orbit beyond the height of the Martian atmosphere, but in the high orbit, it has basically shown the original appearance of the universe.
As a price, the total mass of dust particles collected on each node platform can reach tens of tons every month.
In order to clear the dust near Mars and ensure that sunlight can enter Mars smoothly, the Moon Palace base will launch more than one million dust-collecting satellites above the Karman line in the Martian atmosphere in the future, thus clearing out a clear space.
These collected things are naturally not waste.
Although these things are mainly composed of water or some light elements, they are extremely common on any planet.
However, in a universe where matter is actually extremely scarce, these things are actually extremely precious. Yang Qing’s choice is to transport them to the moon to make up for the quality that was consumed due to the extensive development over the years.
For Blue Star, the moon is both a burden and a protector.
Because the existence of the moon ~www.mtlnovel.com~ slows down the rotation speed of the blue star and consumes a lot of internal energy, which may greatly reduce the survival time of the blue star.
On the other hand, because of the existence of the moon, the core of the earth started periodic movement under their joint action, thus forming a strong and stable magnetic field.
If there is no magnetic field, life may still be produced on the blue star, but intelligent life like human beings has almost no chance of being born.
For example, it is very similar to the blue star, but without such a satellite, its magnetic field is almost negligible, and thus becomes a high-temperature hell, or only the legendary silicon-based organisms can exist.
On the other Mars, the thin atmosphere was almost blown away by the solar wind, turning it into a lifeless desert.
The same example is Titan, which is the only moon in the solar system with a magnetic field.
Although it does not have satellites like the moon, the tidal effect brought by Saturn is far above the earth-moon system, which is why it may be the most likely planet in the solar system, except for the blue star, to be the birthplace of life.
Because it also has a core that may be alive.
Our eyes leave the outer space of Mars, which is becoming clear, and enter the deep atmosphere of the spacecraft that has completely lost its trace.
Scanning through the work logs of the past ten years with his spiritual sense, Yang Qing recorded everything in his mind, and then deduced it in his brain to see if there was anything missing.
The cloud of dust, which was originally bright, was completely darkened.
Here, there is no light at all, but it doesn’t look particularly dark.
Because here, from time to time, there will be large-scale lightning with a length of tens of kilometers and a width of more than tens of meters, piercing the darkness of the dust cloud, melting all the dust on the road, and leaving a clear trail.
