Chapter 528 Exploring Venus
While Fang Ping and the others were busy developing the Martian Territory's economy.

As Venus and Mercury in the core area of ​​the solar system, both Venus and Mercury are under the administrative jurisdiction of the Solar Territory, and the capital of the Solar Territory is built on the synchronous orbit space station of Venus.

Gagomenteleev looked depressed at this time. As the political commissar of the National Council of the Human Revolutionary Union, he was in charge of the field of the Sun Territory.

The problem is that the solar collar is really cheating. It seems that there are the main sequence star Sun, the first orbiting planet Mercury, and the second orbiting planet Venus, but these three goods are not fuel-efficient lamps.

Needless to say, the sun, as a star, is destined to be difficult to use. At most, we can build some orbiting space cities. The problem is that it is too close to the sun, and the danger is also rising. Natural phenomena such as solar storms, As a result, the space city must open the protective cover 24 hours a day, otherwise it will be scorched by the hot-tempered sun every minute.

And Mercury can only be used as an iron ore production area. At present, the sun leads only one city on Mercury - Mercury North Pole City, because only the Mercury North Pole area is a relatively comfortable area. Avoid direct sunlight.

The Mercury North Pole City is built in a crater at the Mercury North Pole, and its scale is also very small, with less than 300 permanent staff and some mining company workers there.

As for Venus, Sunling has built two synchronous orbit space stations and a ground scientific research base so far.

Venus is geologically active, densely populated with active volcanoes, and the main component of the atmosphere is sulfuric acid. Even after using genetic armor, humans can survive on the ground of Venus. The problem is that in this environment, except for mining and official personnel, who would bother to come to Venus? Looking for abuse?
Gagomendeleev looked at the Mars ring that had been built, and suddenly became envious and jealous, why did he allocate such a foolish domain.

He quickly summoned several district chiefs to discuss how to develop the Sun Territory. It can't be a mine star, right? Especially Venus, an terrestrial planet, would be a pity if it were to be a mine star.

In addition, the number of people in their Sun Territory is pitifully small, with a total population of just over 2.6, which is pitifully small compared to the Mars Territory, which has a total population of more than 500 million.

Gagomendeleev looked at Pu Zhan, Mayor of Mercury District, Chu Haisheng, Mayor of Venus District, and Hathaway, Mayor of Venus orbit city, who had already appeared in the holographic meeting room. He knocked on the table and said, "As for the development plan of the Sun Territory, Do you have any suggestions?"

Pu Zhan, Chu Haisheng, and Hathaway looked at each other, not knowing how to answer this topic for a while.

"Why don't we build a Venus ring?" Pu Zhan said bravely.

"But Venus is geologically active, with frequent volcanic eruptions. In addition, there is no asteroid belt in the core area of ​​the solar collar. We don't have enough resources. We can't exploit the resources of Mercury and Venus to build the Venus ring, right? In this case, the investment is too big It's gone." Chu Haisheng reminded.

Gagomendeleev also pressed his temple with a headache on his face.

"Actually, Venus is not impossible to transform." Hathaway thought for a while and said.

"Oh? Hathaway, what do you think?" Gagomendeleev asked quickly.

"According to the research of the alliance's scientific researchers, we found that the environment of Venus and the blue star in the early solar system were similar, but about 33 billion years ago, a huge asteroid hit Venus, which not only caused the rotation direction of Venus to change from its own West to east has become east to west, and the rotation speed has dropped to the extreme." Hathaway continued.

"I know this, but what does this have to do with our development of Venus?" Pu Zhan asked at a loss.

Hathaway continued: "Listen to me, the planet's rotation speed is related to the strength of the planet's magnetic field. The faster the planet's rotation speed, plus the fact that it has a massive iron-nickel core, it can generate a stronger magnetic field. This is why Mercury's magnetic field is stronger than Venus' because Mercury rotates faster than Venus."

"You mean to increase the strength of Venus's magnetic field by increasing its rotation speed?" Gagomendeleev almost understood.

"This plan is quite difficult!" Chu Haisheng frowned.

"The difficulty is not small, but this is a once-and-for-all solution. At least we can change the magnetic field of Venus into what we need. If an artificial magnetic field is used, it will consume a huge amount of energy all the time. Although the alliance is not short of energy now, but After all, this is a huge waste." Hathaway explained.

Gagomendeleev thought for a while, but he didn't agree or disagree: "We need to let professional experts and scholars verify this plan. After all, we can't be sure whether strengthening the magnetic field of Venus will affect Blue Star. We must consider the consequences. .”

"The committee member is right. After all, this is the transformation of a planet, and the impact is not trivial." Chu Haisheng also agreed with Gagomendeleev's idea.

Gagomenteleev thought for a while and ordered: "Hathaway, you will prepare your plan. I will report this matter to the council and hold an expert demonstration meeting at an optional time."

"Okay." Hathaway nodded.

……

[Owner!There is a text message (ω). ]
Huang Haojie put down the book in his hand, opened the holographic system to browse, and raised his eyebrows after a while: "Venus transformation plan? Zhong, what does the council say?"

[Master, the council is still discussing. Chairman Fang agrees with Gagomendeleev to organize an expert demonstration meeting to discuss the possible impact of Venus's magnetic field modification, especially the impact on Blue Star. ]
Huang Haojie couldn't deny it, and looked at the report carefully. After half an hour, he ordered: "Zhong, continue to pay attention to this matter, and let me know the result."

[╭() is good!]

Huang Haojie continued to pick up the book on the side. After he completed the research and development of the knowledge chip at the end of 2, he returned to Blue Star for vacation. At this time, he was traveling in Vladivostok.

Of course, Huang Haojie's travels are very secretive. As the most mysterious man in the Human Revolutionary League, his countless substitute robots are busy all over the place.

In February, Vladivostok was still covered with ice and snow. The vacuum railway connecting Hokkaido and Sakhalin Island brought a different vitality to the city.

However, with the beginning of the great voyage of the universe, the population of Blue Star is immigrating to other planets in the solar system. At present, the population of the alliance in non-Blue Star regions has reached a new high, reaching 3600 million people.

In particular, the Martian Territory has become the number one immigrant area for many low-level people. After all, many people are eager to change the status quo, and alien territories like the Martian Territory represent more opportunities, which is also an important factor for attracting immigrants. reason.

After gene enhancement technology combined with genetic armor, human beings can already live on most terrestrial planets unimpeded.

Development opportunities + survivable technology have promoted the great immigration of the universe.

The book Huang Haojie is reading is called "Sociology of the Interstellar Age". This is a book published by the Soss people in the Interstellar Age. He has been reading books on this topic recently, not only from the Soss civilization, but also from the Anluo civilization. , as a leader of civilization, he must see clearly the general trend of the times in order to bring human civilization further.
