Vol 3 Chapter 146: Artificial planet

Pandora galaxy.
The ecliptic plane of the star is on the habitable zone of life 1.5 astronomical units away from the center star.
A planet that has never existed before in this galaxy suddenly appeared in this star system.
"This man-made planet is finally completed!"
Feitian, in the bridge control hall, looked through the porthole and looked at the planet below. The leader Berekov, who has been responsible for the construction of man-made planets for years, has a bright smile on his face.
"It's hard for you, Corvo."
Patting Berekov's shoulder, Yunxinghe nodded to him.
Building an artificial planet is not an easy task. It is not as simple as stacking a large number of meteorite, ice, and comets in disorder.
A habitable planet must meet these necessary conditions.
1. Sufficient water resources, water is the source of life, and the importance of water is beyond doubt.
Second, the breathable atmosphere, and atmospheric pressure, air oxygen content, and ultraviolet ozone layer must meet human survival standards.
3. Geomagnetic field. If there is no geomagnetic field outside the atmosphere to resist the impact of solar storms, the thickness of the atmosphere on the surface of the planet will be blown into a vacuum.
In addition, the geomagnetic field can resist most harmful cosmic rays and high-energy particles. Planets without a geomagnetic field can be said to have no potential for a little modification.
4. Appropriate autobiographical and revolution periods, the elliptical radius of the orbit, and the angle between the north-south regression line and the zodiac are very important for the formation of the four seasons.
All these factors require a lot of mathematical calculations and multivariate calculations with supercomputers.
On the Feitian, only the mathematical genius Berekov can do this job well.
Berekov did not disappoint everyone. It took only more than 20 years to create an artificial planet with a diameter of 8,800 kilometers and a surface area of ​​243 million square kilometers.
Man-made seas, the atmosphere, and geomagnetic fields all exist.
The autobiographical period is 22 hours and it takes 413 days to orbit the star.
After the transformation of the ecological circle is completed, this planet is enough to accommodate 10 billion people and survive on it.
"This ... how is this possible?"
When an official of the Federal Bureau of Star Exploration, learned that the members of the Feitian had transformed such a huge livable planet in just over twenty years, he immediately exclaimed and shook his head suddenly: "Impossible , This is by no means possible! "
If it were not for the subsequent existence of the pumice stone element, they would never believe that the efficiency of planet transformation can be so fast.
Because according to estimates, this workload of building an artificial planet from scratch, let an expedition of several people, and a small spaceship to complete the transformation period, at least a hundred years.
Therefore, when Feitian arrived in Pandora galaxy, Feitian reported to the Star Exploration Agency: there is no livable planet in the habitable zone of the galaxy (the Pandora star is concealed), but there are a large number of meteorites in the meteorite zone, hoping to drag the meteorites to the habitable zone When building a livable planet by himself, the scientists of the Star Exploration Agency immediately persuaded the Feitian to give up this plan and call them Yunxing River. After refueling the spacecraft, they went to the next star system to try their luck.
Scientists say: "Forget it, building a planet requires moving trillions of tons of material. Every time it is moved, it must span at least a few astronomical units. With the efficiency of a spaceship, it can be completed in a thousand years. Such a huge workload cannot be achieved. This kind of work can only be completed with the cooperation of tens of thousands of engineering spaceships. "
But Yunxinghe still wants to try it, and does not want to waste this galaxy with huge transformation potential.
As a result, it took only 28 years for Feitian to complete the amount of work that the scientist estimated that it would take thousands of years to complete.
The efficiency has been improved dozens of times.
Pumice stone.
The floating stones that can eliminate gravity are the main reason why they can build an artificial planet in such a short time.
This is the strategic value of pumice stone. 1 mole unit of UN element can offset the mass in the space of 10 cubic meters. On the surface of a long block of meteorite weighing 100 million tons, as long as it is evenly covered with 1 million The unit's pumice stone, this meteorite, can be pulled away without effort.
Yunxinghe first produced a hundred "carriage-class" unmanned transport vessels with a length of not more than 100 meters for Berekov, and a batch of space lithotripters, space mold boxes, space net bags and other equipment, and then gave With Berekov ’s 100 million units of pumice stone ... the combination of these things can carry tens of billions of meteorite every day.
In addition, in the later period, the most powerful Feitian also helped pull hundreds of hundreds of billions of tons of "heavy goods", and the transformation efficiency is not exaggerated.
Even if there are enough "floating stones" in hand, those asteroids with a diameter of less than a thousand kilometers are also fancy with that one, dragging away that one, easily.
It can be seen that the value of pumice stone is promising only in the aspect of stellar environment transformation.
"This man-made planet has entered the stage of automated transformation. Hundreds of thousands of purification devices and millions of green robots will follow the procedure to complete the remaining transformation work. Two hundred years later, the federal immigration spacecraft and the interstellar fleet will arrive. After this galaxy, you can have a comfortable footing. "
"We can leave with confidence and go to the next stop of the journey."
Berekov, who has been busy for more than 20 years and spent a lot of mental and physical energy, seems to have lost some weight.
Rest assured?
Hearing this word, everyone including Yunxinghe shook his head slightly, not very optimistic.
Can I really leave?
An artificial planet, plus a few billion mole units of pumice stone, can really make their human compatriots give up coveting the Pandora planet.
You know, on the planet Pandora, there are still 90% of the pumice stone elements that have not been mined, and more than 70% of them are distributed in the deep crust and mantle of this planet.
The grandfather in his brain also told Yunxing River: In order to maximize the extraction of pumice elements, another parallel universe, the Pandora planet, was crushed by the Blue Star Federation ’s ore mining company, and almost every molecule was selected. Once again, never let go of the planet, even 0.00001 mole units of pumice elements.
Because, even in the entire galaxy, planets containing pumice elements are pitiful, and like the Pandora planet, the reserves of pumice elements above 100 million mole units are unheard of.
Regardless of the Blue Star Federation, if the alien civilization knows the existence of the Pandora planet, it is estimated that it will immediately send a fleet and sail at a speed. Before the Blue Star Federation mines the last unit of pumice elements, it will seize the planet!
Even, in order to grab more, may fight against the Blue Star Federation!
In front of the floating stone, there is no mention of any tree and animal resources, such as the tree gods, the Lanwei people, giant birds, giant beasts, and millions of animal and plant resources.
In the face of such huge interests, no matter how high the individual is, and the government that pays attention to principles and morals, you have to think day and night: whether to choose a convincing noble sentiment, or choose inestimable benefits?
It is also a precious wealth in the humanistic spirit.
The same is true gold and silver before us.
Choose that?
"Lanwei people will lose their homes sooner or later, the planet Pandora, sooner or later will become a good memory in people's minds. In that parallel space, after the planet Pandora was destroyed, the Blue Star Federation spawned many cultural works such as movies, games, etc. Popular, the actions of the Federal Fleet and RDA Minerals have also been criticized and can be said to be infamous, but these moral pressures did not affect their mining efficiency at all, and even stimulated by Pandora, Blue Star Federation, devoted to interstellar development The number of people has increased explosively. "
"Ethics can restrain some people's behavior, but it can never restrain the pursuit of interests."
Grandpa said in his head.
"That is to say, ~ EbookFREE.me ~ No matter what I do, I can't change Pandora's ending?" Yun Xinghe asked.
"You can only make the ending not too bad."
Yun Xinghe smiled bitterly: "I regret to come to Pandora now. I'd rather go to a desolate galaxy to develop a common colonial star for the Federation, and don't want to bear such moral pressure ... I originally planned to have a happy time On the journey. "
"This is a normal thing. Children, Pandora's ending, at least not as bad as that parallel space. The race of the Lanwei people should be retained and become a minority in the Federation ... Look at your face, The Federation will not kill it. "
"Grandpa, don't laugh at me!" Yun Xinghe's face even worsened with a bitter smile.
"Happier kids, get ready to go again. The next stop will be more interesting. You will see a very interesting intelligent civilization. This civilization will open your eyes and think about life."
"Another intelligent civilization?"
Yun Xinghe's eyes lit up, and he began to look forward to it.
