Chapter 266: Seven billion mad dogs come out of the cage

phone-reading
Although people have long speculated that Zhang Wei may announce the immigration moon plan at the press conference, he still felt shocked when he heard it. This is the immigration moon. The dream of mankind for many years now really has to be realized. ? And it is still within three years, which is too sci-fi. To know that the moon is still a desolate and dead world, even without air! If others say this, they will sneer, but Zhang Wei is different, and what he says from his mouth, no matter how fabled it is, has convincing capital.
Of course, if you believe in it, there will still be some doubts. People are not questioning technical issues, because Zhang Wei is there, there should be no technical issues. What people question is, will future technology companies have such huge financial resources to build a city on the moon? Although future technology companies can be rich in the enemy's country, even the United States, which is still ranked first in the world in terms of gdp, does not dare to say that it has the financial resources to build a city where 300,000 people can live on the moon! Because the moon is poor and white, all materials and equipment, even a brick and a mouthful of oxygen, must be transported from the earth. This cost is really terrible. Unless the world bears it together, the future technology companies will only rely on the financial resources. I'm afraid it's choking.
"Dr. Zhang, how much is the future technology company expected to invest?"
"Dr. Zhang, can the future technology company be able to undertake the construction of the moon city alone?"
Although the question has not yet arrived, the reporters on the stage could not help asking questions loudly.
Zhang Weiwen said with a confident smile, "The investment of the future technology company must be an astronomical figure, and it is difficult for us to estimate it effectively for the time being, but I believe that the future technology company is fully capable of undertaking the construction of a lunar city alone."
His confidence comes from three aspects.
First, the future technology company will be a terrible gold-absorbing monster for a long time, and will continue to provide financial support for the construction of lunar cities.
Second, for others, the bulk of the cost of building a lunar city is transportation costs, and the energy source of the future technology company ’s spacecraft is provided by the nuclear fusion atomic furnace, the fuel of the nuclear fusion atomic furnace-helium 3, now It is already available in large quantities for free from the moon, so the transportation costs of future technology companies are almost zero. Of course, this is without considering the depreciation of spacecraft and other equipment.
Third, future technology companies will build a large number of lunar factories on the moon. After these factories are completed, they can use the resources on the moon to build lunar cities. As for the factory workers? Of course, it is an intelligent robot that does not need wages, is capable, and can perfectly adapt to the moon environment.
Seeing Zhang Wei so confident, the audience was buzzing and discussing again, and then a reporter aloud asked Zhang Wei's confidence.
However, Zhang Wei did not explain in detail, but went to the next topic, "The moon is just a starting point. After the moon, it is Mars. As we all know, Mars is the nearest neighbor of the earth, and it is the most pleasant climate in the solar system except the earth. Planets are also the most suitable planets for interstellar migration discovered by man so far.
According to the current detection results and various theoretical studies, in ancient times, Mars was a world with a humid climate and an ecological environment more suitable for life and reproduction. The atmosphere is denser than it is now, and there have been vast oceans and dotted lakes on the surface. , Alluvial fans formed by trickling rivers and flooding, Mars at that time, like the earth, is suitable for the existence of life.
However, after ancient times, Mars changed from a vibrant planet to a dead star. According to analysis, the fundamental reason is the cooling of Mars. After the inside of Mars cools, the inner core no longer flows, causing Mars to lose its magnetism, and the fierce solar wind directly blows on the surface of Mars, allowing the air of Mars to diffuse into space. Subsequently, as the water evaporates, the foundation for sustaining life is gone.
However, in theory, we can completely transform the Martian environment and transform it into a 'blue planet' to make Mars suitable for human survival. The way is to heat Mars and let it 'live'.
Regarding how to heat Mars quickly, scientists have proposed various solutions.
For example, use a mirror to reflect sunlight. As you may have seen in science fiction, the principle of this method is not magical, it is to build a large number of giant Myra mirrors on the track. How big is it? It is about 250 kilometers wide, and it can directly cover Lake Michigan. Since the entire project weighs more than 200,000 tons, the construction process can only be completed in space. Mirrors are placed at a distance of 210,000 kilometers from Mars. The reflected sunlight is enough to melt the carbon dioxide on Mars and start the greenhouse effect. In terms of current technology, this solution has great feasibility.
Another option is to throw meteors on Mars. If we can catch or redirect an asteroid or comet flying through the solar system, maybe we can let it fall to Mars and burn in the atmosphere, releasing a lot of greenhouse gases. Similar to throwing nuclear weapons, a more effective method is to get a bunch of asteroids or comets weighing about 10 billion tons and throw them directly at Mars, which will probably increase the temperature by about 5 degrees Fahrenheit. This plan is also very feasible. According to my prediction, in another five to ten years, future technology companies should initially be able to master the relevant technology, traction of small comets to impact Mars, not only can increase the mass of Mars, increase temperature, but also give Mars Bring water.
There is also a plan to create algae or other organisms suitable for survival on Mars through genetic technology, let these organisms flourish, warm up Mars, and at the same time convert the 96 carbon dioxide in the Martian atmosphere into oxygen for human breathing . This plan may take a long time, requiring hundreds of years or even thousands of years. At least I can't wait so long, but it can be used as a backup plan.
There is also a plan for an industrial revolution on Mars. We saw everything on the planet: the industrial revolution used a lot of fossil fuels, which eventually caused global warming. The same drama may be staged on Mars. We can build a series of factories on Mars that use renewable energy to drive and release greenhouse gases such as methane, carbon dioxide, and HCFC. The greenhouse gases are used to retain solar radiation. To increase the temperature of Mars.
In addition, Mr. Elon Musk also proposed that Mars can be transformed by throwing fusion bombs on Mars. In fact, although this idea is crazy, it also has certain feasibility. If a large number of nuclear fusion bombs are thrown at the poles of Mars, a large amount of thermal energy radiation can be released in a short time to achieve the effect of heating the planet. Then the frozen carbon dioxide can be vaporized, thickening the atmosphere and heating the water, thereby creating a greenhouse effect on Mars, and continuous heating of Mars can cause such a cascading effect. In this way, Mars should be able to slowly reach the human temperature. This scheme also has certain risks, because it may cause "nuclear winter", not only can not increase the temperature of Mars, but also reduce the temperature of Mars.
Of course, since humans have not landed on Mars, and lack of further understanding of Mars, the above solutions may not be implemented. Therefore, the future technology company will send a spaceship one month later, and it is estimated that it will take 90 days to reach Mars to carry out the field on Mars In the survey, comprehensively understand Mars, including its topography, material composition, surface environment, internal structure and other basic characteristics, and understand the impact of these characteristics on human survival on Mars, and then design a better Mars transformation plan based on the survey results. "
After talking for so long, Zhang Wei was also a little thirsty. He took a small sip of mineral water and looked around the audience. Then he said, "No matter how difficult it is, transforming Mars is imperative. There are three reasons.
First, there are more and more people on the planet, fewer and fewer resources, the environment is getting worse, and the quality of life is getting lower and lower. Therefore, we should find a way out to export too many people on the planet to other planets. In the solar system, the only thing that can receive an excessive population on Earth is Mars. Compared with Mars, the moon is still a little smaller, and it is more difficult to transform the moon than to mars.
Second, the Earth we live in is not absolutely safe. It may face major disasters such as celestial collisions at any time, or it may become a death star like Mars. Mars, as the planet most similar to the Earth in the solar system, is facing these disasters. Possible refuge.
Third, we human beings have always been an enterprising race. The history of human development is to continuously expand our living space and constantly transform our surrounding environment to adapt it to our needs. Now that we have the ability to explore space, of course, we must continue to work hard and keep making progress, extending the footprint of humanity into space and opening up a wider space. The moon and Mars are just the first steps. One day, human footprints will inevitably spread throughout the universe, and even conquer the entire universe! "
Speaking of which, Zhang Wei is also a little excited. He really hopes that mankind can become the master of the universe in the future. Although this dream seems unrealistic, the dream often seems to be delirium, blind and impulsive. And to apply a line in "Shaolin Football", if you don't have a dream, what is the difference with salted fish.
"hiss……"
There was a silence on the stage, followed by deafening applause. Zhang Wei's plan was too grand and even a little crazy, but I have to say that it was really shocking! It sounds a little bloody, it seems that humans really want to colonize Mars and conquer the universe!
The audience who were watching the live broadcast immediately heated up.
"How do I feel the rhythm of 7 billion mad dogs out of the cage? The whole universe is going to be unlucky!"
"The moon project is already crazy, the Mars project is even crazier, and I want to conquer the universe! God! ~ Www.EbookFREE.me ~ Zhang Wei looks like he is going to start the road of violentness!"
"Is the Mars plan a bit too advanced? You can completely transform the Sahara Desert on the earth and other places that are not suitable for human habitation. After the transformation is completed, the earth can fully accommodate twice the current population, so don't go to Mars. . "
"Although I don't understand what Zhang Wei is saying, it seems very powerful."
"Conquer the entire universe? The aliens expressed dissatisfaction!"
"The Mars project sounds very feasible, but I still have two problems. First, if there are creatures on the planet, it is a bit cruel to arbitrarily transform the creatures that may extinct. Second, Mars is determined by that State domination? If it is governed by a first-come state, it means that the chances of the latecomers are reduced. If it is simply considered to be owned by all mankind or governed by the United Nations, it also means that it is unfair to the first-come country. "
"I can answer the two questions upstairs. First, Mars now probably has no life at all. Even if there are, there are now three species disappearing every hour on Earth. How many people care? Second, Look at the historical track, look at Africa and the United States now, and then talk about fairness. If you want to talk about it, I think it ’s fair to work hard and get more. For example, you worked hard to cultivate an acre of wasteland, and then another person jumped Come out and say: 'I wasn't there just now, and it's fair to have half of me here!', What do you think? So, don't talk about fairness, Mars will lie there, and you will go. Anyway, our country has the most space technology Developed, it will certainly not lose money. It can certainly occupy the most fertile land on Mars. As for other countries, probably only the United States, Russia, Germany, France, Britain, India, Japan and other countries have the strength to land on Mars. Let ’s just stay on the earth honestly.
