Chapter 1517: Solar System Tour Route

The mass of Eris discovered in 2005 is even 27% more mass than Pluto. The International Astronomical Union therefore formally defined the concept of planets the following year. The new definition excludes Pluto from the planetary range and classifies it as a dwarf planet.

Although Pluto is designated as a dwarf planet, humans have discovered many planets about the same diameter as Pluto. It can be said that although we have now turned the nine planets into eight planets. But for the entire solar system, we know more.

In fact, when we first divided the solar system into nine planets. It's entirely because we still don't know much about the entire solar system. When we learn more about the solar system, we will also know more planets with larger diameters.

In fact, it is meaningless to say how many planets there are in the solar system. The solar system is very large. The scope of our current understanding is still very limited. It is believed that as the space of human beings understand the solar system becomes larger and larger, we will discover more larger planets.

This is because the entire solar system evolved from a very large cosmic molecular cloud 5 billion years ago under its own gravity. Since it is near the solar system, eight planets have evolved. In the cosmic space farther from the sun, there will definitely be more planets. It's just that we haven't found them yet.

For Zhao Zhongyao, he can now be said to be an astronomer. In order to develop the moon city, he has learned a lot of astronomy knowledge.

This time he was preparing for a space exploration. It is not only necessary to develop some tourism resources. At the same time, it is also to fulfill my dream of understanding the mystery of space.

Also, Zhao Zhongyao knew that if he wanted to explore the universe, he had to be fully prepared. During these years, he has been prepared. He himself designed a flying saucer spacecraft specially used for space rescue.

This flying saucer spacecraft uses a brand-new antimatter reactor technology. It was the first time that he applied the latest scientific research materials, antimatter, to his flying saucer spacecraft.

And this flying saucer spacecraft is also the most advanced and huge spacecraft he designed. Although this spacecraft is not much different from ordinary flying saucer spacecraft in appearance. But the volume far exceeds that of ordinary spaceships.

This huge flying saucer has a diameter of one kilometer. The space inside is also very large, which can carry hundreds of people at the same time. However, the spacecraft designed by Zhao Zhongyao is not a passenger spacecraft, nor is it specifically designed to carry people.

The flying saucer spacecraft designed by Zhao Zhongyao is mainly used for prospecting. In other words, the spacecraft designed by Zhao Zhongyao is used to search for mineral deposits in the universe. Of course, it is mainly mineral deposits in the solar system.

Although the speed of this spacecraft has reached one million kilometers per hour. But such a high speed means that it can fly in the solar system. If you want to leave the solar system and go to outer space, it will seem very slow.

Because it would take hundreds of years to fly to Proxima Centauri, the nearest star in our solar system, at a speed of 10 million kilometers per hour. Obviously, it is impossible to explore outer space in such a time.

Zhao Zhongyao knew that now that he designed a prospecting spacecraft, he could only fly in the solar system. If you want to fly farther, you must use another high-tech method to design a spacecraft that can fly faster than the speed of light.

But even with the strength of the Feitian Group, it feels impossible to design a spacecraft that can exceed the speed of light per hour.

Therefore, for Zhao Zhongyao, if he wants to go on a longer-distance space exploration, he needs to find a different way, and then design a spacecraft that can fly faster than the speed of light. Only then can the spacecraft fly out of the solar system and fly to Proxima Centauri. Or Sirius or a more distant star system.

Of course, that was only Zhao Zhongyao's longer-term plan. What he wants to do now is to allow the spacecraft he designed to swim in the solar system. This is already a very remarkable thing.

After all, it is now an enterprise that can do this step in the Feitian Group. There is only the Feitian Group in China. Apart from Feitian Group, there are no other companies. Even country M’s technology is very advanced. But they are lagging behind China now. Country M has not yet completed its moon landing plan. Because of the economic turmoil in their country in recent years. In addition, their leaders have also seen that Feitian Group is already the only one in the aerospace field. Has far exceeded their M country. No matter how hard they tried, it was useless. As a result, the leaders of Country M have changed their strategy. It is no longer extravagant to expect that their country's aerospace technology can catch up or surpass China.

And the people in country M now feel that their country is already far behind China in the field of aerospace. It doesn't make much sense to toss like this. As a result, many people from country M took to the streets to demand that national leaders stop investing in space technology. The money should be used to improve the lives of ordinary people.

Therefore, over the years, country M has stopped making progress in the aerospace field. The leaders of country M have already turned their money towards caring about the lives and lives of ordinary people. Improving people's livelihood and increasing the employment rate have become the most important problems for the leaders of country M to solve.

And now there is no need for China to make unnecessary efforts to compete with country M. Zhao Zhongyao knew that what China has to do now is to continue to advance in the aerospace field. Let aerospace technology continue to benefit human society.

In fact, aerospace technology is a very important technology. Just because this technology is a big technology, it is a technology that investment and output seem to be irrelevant on the surface. In the eyes of ordinary people, the research and development of aerospace technology by the country is of little use. After all, these technologies do not seem to have much to do with ordinary people's daily lives.

Because ordinary people still care more about the lives of their family under normal circumstances. But I don’t know much about the economic situation of the whole country. Also, ordinary people don't know much about what kind of science and technology is. Everyone feels that technology is something related to everyone's production and life. Like TV movies, computer phones. Only those things that ordinary people can use are considered high-tech products. The development of these things feels very necessary for the common people.

As for space technology, everyone feels that the country spends so much money to do such things. It doesn't seem to make much sense. After all, these things do not seem to be things that people care about. These things have little to do with ordinary people.

In fact, we are all wrong to think this way. We think this way because we don’t know the relationship between big technology and small technology. I don't know what kind of inner connection between aerospace science and technology and the science and technology that ordinary people know.

Big technology and small technology are a relationship of inheritance and development. All small technologies are actually inherited from big technologies. Big science and technology started from some important academic theories. And small technology is a technology that can be used to develop daily necessities for people by using some of the big technology.

It's like a cell phone that we ordinary people use. On the surface, this is just a small technology. It doesn't seem to be a big technology. But in fact, a small mobile phone is considered a big technology. Because if you just look at a mobile phone, it feels like it is not a big technology.

But we need to know that during the use of mobile phones, space satellites are used to relay and send signals. If there is no satellite in the sky, the mobile phone cannot communicate over long distances.

In other words, the small technology we know is based on the big technology. It is the big technology that supports the small technology. If there is no big technology, the small technology cannot survive. Big technology is like the ocean. Small technology is like a small river. If there was no sea, there would be no rain in the sky, and there would be no small river on the ground.

Although mobile phones are our daily necessities for ordinary people. But we need to know that every time we make a phone call, the mobile phone signal that can spread to the entire world is the synchronous communication satellite that is hundreds of kilometers or thousands of kilometers away from the earth. Without these geosynchronous communication satellites, our mobile phones cannot communicate over long distances.

And our computer, although it has now become a high-tech thing that every ordinary person can have. It looks like a small computer. But you know, this little microcomputer. It was born under the development of aerospace technology.

In the beginning, humans studied computers, absolutely not for ordinary people to use. Computers were developed for aerospace technology. It is because of aerospace technology that requires a lot of calculations. If there is no computer, manual calculation is a very long process. And people are still prone to errors when calculating. When the machine is calculating, it can not only greatly increase the speed of the calculation, but also ensure that there will be no calculation errors during the calculation.

Because of this, big technologies like aerospace science and technology can drive some small technologies. If there is no big technology like aerospace technology, there will be no small technology that can improve people's livelihood.

And the popular artificial intelligence is the same. Artificial intelligence has existed decades ago. This technology is the technology used on space probes. It is developing intelligent detection tools to be launched to the distant moon and other planets.

If there were no detectors developed by aerospace technology in the first place, there would be no artificial intelligence that is popular now. So, big technology drives small technology. The most representative of the big technology is the aerospace technology.

Of course, Zhao Zhongyao is very clear about all this. He knew that the next thing he had to do was to go deep into the solar system. They have now built Lunar City in Lunar City.

The next step, of course, must expand their living space to other planets in the solar system. For the next step, we must first conduct a field survey of the entire solar system, so that we must understand clearly what kind of star system the solar system is. In such a star system, how many large planets have not been discovered by humans.

Although there are already many mineral deposits on our planet. But the resources on the earth are limited after all. And as the number of human beings continues to grow, the demand for the resources of the universe will also continue to grow.

When the earth can no longer meet the human needs for resources, we must focus on the entire solar system.

The solar system is a very large star system. There are eight planets near the earth alone. In fact, in the distant middle layer of the solar system or the more distant edge of the sun, there may be larger planets waiting for humans to discover.

Because there are still many large planets in the solar system that have not been discovered by humans. Then it is necessary for human beings to find all these big planets. Then conduct a field survey. We need to see if there are any resources on these planets for human use.

What Zhao Zhongyao wants to do now is to sort out the entire solar system. To draw a detailed map of the solar system. Collect some mineral samples from the big planets. Then take these mineral samples back to the moon city for analysis and research.

Since the solar system has a planet with rich mineral deposits like the earth, there must be very rich mineral deposits on other planets.

Although until now, humans have not found any signs of life on other planets in the solar system. But without a thorough review of the solar system, it is still impossible to conclude that there is no trace of life on other planets in the solar system.

Zhao Zhongyao's solar system expedition this time has three meanings. The first is to develop tourist routes. To make Chang'e City's tourism business not limited to the moon. Also expand to the surrounding outer space. Many tourists can start from the Moon City and go sightseeing on other large planets in the entire solar system.

If Zhao Zhongyao can now develop another tourist route to travel the entire solar system, it will definitely increase the income of Lunar City. After all, to travel to the solar system, it must cost a lot.

Although it costs a lot, there are still many big bosses in the world. They have money in their hands, and of course they can travel the solar system.

Zhao Zhongyao knows this very well. He knows that as long as he develops this solar system tourism route, it will definitely increase the income of the Moon City, so that the input cost of the entire Moon City can be quickly recovered.

Zhao Zhongyao knew that what he would do next was of course a very important thing.
