Chapter 353 Develop Jupiter

The vanguard fleet set off in a low-key manner. They will go to the Monica galaxy 131 light-years away from the solar system. Using wormhole technology and the curvature flight mode, it will take three to five years. This is already the peak of human civilization. The speed that the sixth generation spacecraft can reach. The universe is so big that the distance between galaxies and galaxies is measured in light years, which is an extremely exaggerated number. Therefore, without mastering the "time-space plane instantaneous shuttle technology" of god-level civilization, which can instantly reach any corner of the universe, it is difficult for a civilization to cross this exaggerated distance at one time. As long as it does not attract the attention of advanced civilizations, human civilization is still in a relatively safe environment. Europa, the commanding room. Li Yi stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the starry sky, and learned that the vanguard fleet was flying out of the solar system. At this moment, many thoughts appeared in his mind. In the star map space of the library, Li Yi has learned about too many intelligent civilizations with advanced technology, and he has a better understanding of how big the universe is, and what kind of things can happen. The black hole, the more distant starlight..., as if everything is endless.... The closer you go to the center of the galaxy, the denser the stars are. Under the strong gravitational force of supermassive black holes, various high-energy explosions become more active. Suddenly, a supernova exploded, and suddenly, two neutron stars collided. Suddenly During the time, each star began to collapse, even if the frequency of tens of thousands of years, hundreds of thousands of years, but, for the long-term evolutionary path of life, all kinds of ray bursts and extreme celestial bodies occur too frequently, which is very harmful to life civilization. The blow was devastating. According to normal logic, the core area of ​​large galaxies is not suitable for the survival of life and the continuation of civilization, and there is no place for any life civilization. However, the reality is often the opposite of these inference results. The further you go to the core of the super galaxy, the more lively, and the more advanced civilizations exist. It's just that the solar system inhabited by human civilization is far from the core of the Milky Way, and it is very far away from the core of the Milky Way. The Milky Way is a spiral galaxy, and has a bar-shaped core structure with four thick arms, each of which carries nearly 100 billion star systems. The solar system rotates in the Milky Way with Orion's spiral arms at a speed of up to 220 kilometers per second. Each spiral arm is equivalent to a 'highway'. There are 4 such highways in the Milky Way, and the other three spiral arms are the Perseus spiral arms, The spiral arm of Sagittarius and a spiral arm that spans the constellations Fox and Cygnus. The solar system is located on the Orion spiral arm, one of the four major spiral arm structures of the Milky Way. The inside of the spiral arm is also quite lively. Overall, the brightness and density are relatively high, second only to the center of the Milky Way. According to the size of a city, Orion spiral The arm is also a prosperous area with dense lights (stars) and dense traffic of people (materials). The solar system is at the tail of the Milky Way spiral, so the solar system is at the edge of the Milky Way, which is equivalent to a very remote "countryside", not even a suburb. As a 'countryman', I have never been to a 'city' in my life. Without advanced communication technology, it is difficult to understand the liveliness of the city center. According to scientists' speculation, the more central the large galaxy is, the environment is extremely harsh, and it is difficult for even primitive life to be born, not to mention the stable evolution of intelligent life. However, on the contrary, there are various ways of life, and all kinds of violent celestial activities are the best and best natural mentors. Through the screening of this harsh environment, they will evolve more advanced capabilities to adapt to the living environment Moreover, the closer the material to the core of a large galaxy, the more abundant it is. The development of this advanced civilization provides rich resources. The solar system where human civilization is located is a small mountain village. Human beings are 'countrymen' who have never seen the world. Even if the vanguard fleet can go to another galaxy to explore the civilization of Thales, it is to go to another 'village' Just a visit! ...Thinking of this, Li Yi couldn't help sighing. The reason why human civilization is not discovered by advanced civilization has always been because of living in a 'backland',

It's not worth them to come here! Li Yi looked at the starry sky, looking at the dazzling stars, like a young man yearning for a 'big city', with a complicated expression, both anticipation and a hint of fear. A burst of footsteps came, interrupting Li Yi's distraction. The person who came was Li Chen's father, Li Jun. He was Li Yang's eldest son and Li Yi's grandson. Overall, he looked about the same age as Li Yi. With the popularization of life-prolonging gene drugs and the application of adaptive gene-enhancing drugs, the overall life expectancy of all human beings has increased by four or five times. Therefore, the five and six generations gaps that were not possible before, and the age gaps are all similar. , and everyone is used to it. Li Jun greeted Li Yi respectfully: "Grandfather, why don't you go to rest! It's getting late!" "Go to rest later, why are you here?" Li Yi turned around and asked with a smile. Because of hibernation for 64 years, the relationship between Li Yi and his grandchildren is somewhat unfamiliar. Although they all respect themselves, they are more respectful than intimate closeness from the heart. There is always so much fear and strangeness. on. Tonight, Li Jun's unexpected appearance made Li Yi a little surprised. However, after thinking about it for a while, he took it for granted, probably because of Li Chen on the Vanguard Fleet! "For Xiaochen?" Before waiting for Li Jun's answer, Li Yi looked at him and replied with a smile. Li Jun nodded embarrassedly and asked with concern: "Yes! As a soldier, you should put your life and death aside, but I am Xiaochen's father, and his mission this time is very dangerous, so I left without knowing it. I'm here to ask you for advice." After a pause, Li Jun laughed at himself: "I'm here to find comfort from you." Li Yi could understand this kind of father-son relationship, and he smiled and comforted: "Don't worry about this, where is the powerful performance of the sixth-generation battleship! If Xiaochen's mission does not encounter uncontrollable factors, his life will not be in danger." Hearing this, Li Jun breathed a sigh of relief. After getting a satisfactory answer, what is Li Yi's weight? His judgment has always been accurate, "Grandfather, I want to ask, when are you going to return to your home planet? It's been a while since you came out." Li Jun embarrassed Looking at Li Yi, he asked with concern. "Why did you suddenly ask me about my schedule? Whose idea? Is it your father?" Li Yi was stunned for a moment, and immediately guessed who was behind the scenes. Li Jun smiled, nodded and said, "Yes, Dad misses you and the old man, let me help him to inquire." Li Yi smiled and understood Li Yang's mood very well. After handing over Xingyao Technology to Li Yang's management, With so many things going on in the company, he would definitely not be able to leave his home planet. Seeing that he was full of waves in the solar system, this kid was jealous. "You tell him, this matter makes him worry, I will go back whenever I want to go back." Li Yi smiled, then remembered something, looked at Li Jun and asked with concern: "By the way, the Jupiter development plan has begun to be implemented. Has it been implemented to that point now?" Hearing this, Li Jun was refreshed and brought up a new screen on the spot, explaining: "The preparatory work has been completed, a giant space collection station has been built, and the related space high-energy compression plant has also been The construction is completed,..." In the holographic screen, a man-made space collection station in a near-star orbit around Jupiter appeared, extending an incomparably long metal hose to the giant gaseous planet-Jupiter, which is undoubtedly another It is another pinnacle of human industrial civilization and the use of planetary resources. For human civilization to develop to a higher-level stellar civilization, it must master technology that utilizes a large amount of energy and matter. Jupiter is a giant planet in the solar system, except for the star-sun. Its total mass is one thousandth of that of the sun and 2.5 times the mass of the other planets in the solar system. The main component is hydrogen gas. The development of Jupiter will give mankind Material wealth creates enormous value. Jupiter is so huge that it can hold 1,300 earths. If Jupiter is the size of a football, then the earth is equivalent to a small pebble. The reason why it is so huge is because it is a gas giant planet. Therefore, it can have such a huge volume, but its gravitational strength is only 2.5 times that of the earth. With the current level of human technology, it is still impossible to manufacture equipment that utilizes the energy of stellar solar energy, but it is not difficult to develop Jupiter, known as a 'small star'. However, Jupiter's gaseous properties, combined with its mass and rotational speed, make it dangerous. There are terrifying gas storms inside Jupiter. The surface of the entire planet has white, brown, red, etc. colors. The formation of these colors is related to Jupiter's own airflow movement, and belongs to huge storms formed by gas movement. For example: The Great Red Spot, a storm that has lasted for more than 300 years on Jupiter, the length of the Great Red Spot is 24,000 kilometers at the shortest, 40,000 kilometers at the longest, and 12-14,000 meters wide, and such a large area , enough to put down three earths, the highest recorded wind speed reached an astonishing 700k/h, which is a very scary data. The internal super hurricane, harsh climate environment, and super pressure make it difficult to develop at the level of hell. However, its average surface temperature is negative 159 degrees, which is relatively terrifying compared to the stellar environment. There are some better. The main components of Jupiter are 82% hydrogen and 17% helium, and the rest is methane, water, rocks and other substances. Due to the special composition of Jupiter, Jupiter has an atmosphere of 3,000 kilometers thick. In fact, these composition data are very similar to the composition of the sun, except that it has a much smaller mass. If Jupiter's mass can be increased by several orders of magnitude, the solar system will become a binary star system, and it can be speculated that Jupiter was formed during the formation of the sun, and the remaining hydrogen coalesced.

Due to its small mass, its internal pressure cannot reach the level of the sun and cannot meet the requirements of nuclear fusion reaction, so Jupiter is also known as a small star. The development of Jupiter is of great significance to the future development of human civilization. Compared with the development of other planets, it is much more difficult. However, this is something that human civilization must overcome when moving towards a stellar civilization. Otherwise, even Jupiter cannot be developed, let alone talk about it. Use stars to develop stellar civilization. Li Yi learned about the development progress of Jupiter in detail. The next day, he took a spacecraft with Li Jun, left Europa, and went to Jupiter's low orbit to inspect the scene. The spacecraft flew to the planetary orbit of Jupiter, and you could see a giant cubic metal building revolving around Jupiter. Its size was very large, and the overall image was a square Rubik's cube with four sides hundreds of kilometers long, which could accommodate many spacecraft docking. , However, such a behemoth, in front of the incomparably huge Jupiter in front, is as small as an ant, gathering around Jupiter to collect and stop the transport ship, in front of Jupiter, not even an ant. The working principle of the space collection station is very simple. It has strong power and orbits around Jupiter's near star. The extended space nano collection tube extends into Jupiter's atmosphere and chooses a suitable location. Jupiter is a gaseous planet. , Therefore, as long as the gas is collected, the height of the collection battle is too high to absorb the gas of Jupiter, and the resistance is too low. It requires a lot of power consumption to maintain the gaseous state. Secondly, the absorption point of the collection tube should be lowered. The more valuable resource for absorbing Jupiter is hydrogen isotopes. Due to the high density of hydrogen isotopes, in Jupiter's atmosphere, the lower the orbit, the higher the proportion of hydrogen isotopes, but due to the violent atmospheric agitation, the impact is limited. In addition, the collection station is equipped with a complete material factory, gas separation, and processing of various gas materials. These hydrogen isotope materials will eventually be transported to various fields of human society. The cost of antimatter energy is high, and the reaction of positive and negative matter annihilation is very Strong, once an accident occurs, it will cause a devastating disaster. Generally, it is only suitable for interstellar warships. Hydrogen isotope nuclear fusion is the main energy utilization method of human civilization. The resources that Jupiter possesses are, for human civilization, an energy storehouse that will never be collected and not felt, and it is more difficult to develop, but the value it contains is the foundation for the future development of human civilization. In the command room of the spacecraft, Li Yi saw the operation of the space acquisition battle with his own eyes. The huge nano-space pipeline is the help of Jupiter's gaseous resources. The supersonic hurricane of Jupiter's atmosphere can't help the vacuum tube. It firmly penetrates into Jupiter's atmosphere. The tuyere even created this area, forming a rare 'wind valley' that changed the airflow environment in the nearby area. A transport spacecraft stopped at the collection station, loaded with the materials of the collection station, and flew to the earth and Mars to supply energy for all mankind, entering the civilization of the interstellar era, energy can be efficiently used, and the exponential population expansion speed, Let the entire civilization usher in the most rapid development stage.
