Metal Core
Chapter 326:Metal Core
The happy, happy days will always pass quickly...
Six months later, Deep Space has successfully reached Planet GB131!
The curvature engine gradually extinguished, and the hull was removed from the curvature bubble.Then, the ion engine starts, and the entire spacecraft tries to stay in the synchronized orbit of planet GB131, maintaining the same rotation period as the entire planet.
GB131 itself does not have a moon, and there are no satellites around it, so there is no tidal friction.
Without the consequences of tidal friction, the planet rotates quite rapidly, and it can rotate for a week in about eight hours.According to various data, the spacecraft's synchronous orbit is about 8800 kilometers above the ground, and the equidging line speed is 2182 meters per second.
In the captain's room, a group of people are watching the synchronized mission of this ship.
This kind of task should not be difficult for the Deep Space, so there is no tension in everyone, but there is some enthusiasm for discussion between them.When you come to a new planet, people will always have a curiosity, excitement and unique exploration.
Many of the next generations of scientists left the Knicks for the first time, so they were particularly excited.
Through their telescopes, they have dimly observed the uniqueness of the planet.
Of course, this uniqueness is absolutely a good thing for mankind!
The ion flame is from strong to weak and constantly changing.
The entire spacecraft circled the planet twice, finally reaching its intended orbit, successfully maintaining a relatively static state with the planet.
8,800 km from the ground!
“Well, when the spacecraft was designed, it would have been better if we had stayed on the planet, and we would have greatly accelerated our mining mission.”A scientist complained.
“Impossible, the original material science was not so developed ... it did not support the mass of the spacecraft itself at all.”
“And building a spacecraft that can land on the planets will greatly increase the amount of work.”
“I don’t know if today’s nanomaterials are viable.”
He coughed a few times, interrupting the people who were having a heated discussion.
"Well, gentlemen, this synchronization work has been successfully completed... each department carefully checks the operation status of the spacecraft, and retrieves and analyzes the complete records of this voyage!"
“When I have finished, report the results to me immediately.”
Yu Yifeng calmly issued a command, and at the same time, there was a slight excitement in his heart, "below, I announce that the first planetary landing exploration work has officially started!"
"The captain ordered the first landing detection work to start!"
At the same time, the tail of Deep Space slowly opened a mouth, and "sniff" launched 16 detection satellites.
After that, a hundred small exploration spacecraft were launched one after another, flying out of the cabin of the Deep Space.
As a rule, the unknown planet will be detected by drones.
They will detect the specific topographical features of the planet, collect geodmal specimens, and, by the way, detect whether there are microorganisms... Even interstellar civilization, microbial prevention and control is still necessary.
“It makes sense that this planet is worse than the moon, with no atmosphere, no water, no geothermal energy, and at some times the star radiation is even higher and terrible, making it difficult for even microorganisms to survive.”
"Yes, the light of the double star is so strong that the tarpalea cannot survive here."And the orbit of this planet is not round, and the temperature difference changes more violently...”
That being said, in the interests of caution, people are still working in a step-by-turned-way, in accordance with the established safety rules... Even Alien Black believes that such rules are rigorous enough.
The various weapons on the Deep Space are in a semi-activated state, and if there is any unexpected incident, it will open fire relentlessly.The central computer is also processing all kinds of information in an attempt to detect any suspiciousness.
After a hundred small shuttles landed safely, the door of the cabin opened and suddenly ran out of a row of robots.
Each ship carried more than a hundred, a total of 10,000.
These robots will fully explore the planet.
Because the planet has no geological activity, the ground here is quite flat, except for a large and small crater, there are not too many fluctuations in other places.
The environmental face of the planet is similar to that of the moon.
However, with the passage of time, coupled with the great temperature difference, the surface soil is quite sparse, and the robot has opened all the way, leaving a trace of track, as well as boiling dust.
A detection light on the head of a robot lights up the entire ground, and then shoots video all the way back to the computing center.
Central computers work quickly to find suspicious areas while directing robot movements, detecting, or collecting specimens.
Everyone was quickly busy.
Three days of exploration time, the 10,000 intelligent robots almost explored the world, and then reported the final results to the captain's room.
Everyone has a happy smile on their face.
Yu Yifeng gently took a breath: "No trace of life found!"There are no microbes!”
"It's a very rare metal planet, there are a lot of iron, nickel... and silver, gold and other precious metals."There are even a lot of uranium mines!What a miracle... a metal planet... there is such a planet in the universe."
Standing in front of Xu Yunjin smiled and said, "If this planet can replace the moon, it is estimated that people will really run over the gold rush..."
"There's a lot of gold here, and the budget for the lunar base will increase significantly!"
The planet is about one-eighth the mass of Earth, similar to the Moon, but 1.6 times denser than the Moon, because of its special conditions, the entire planet has gathered a large number of metal minerals!
Helium, on the other hand, is mostly concentrated in titanium ore-rich soils with particles less than 50 microns.
The surface of this planet has no magnetic field, the temperature difference between day and night is large, the ordinary helium element will be screened out, coupled with suitable adsorbent material, it is simply a natural helium-3 collector!
Scientists estimate that people can collect billions of tons of helium-3!
Billions of tons, even if it’s only a billion tons, is too much for humans!
Helium-3 fusion produces a powerful energy that can meet humanity’s current energy needs as little as tens of tons a year.
A billion tons is too much.
Therefore, such an opportunity cannot be missed by human beings.
“Deep Space is running normally!”
“The losses of each reactor, curvature engine and ion engine are as follows: ...”
With the emergence of a series of test reports, Yi Feng looked carefully.
In the end, he finally put his heart down, there is no big mistake in Deep Space, which also means that ... human beings have thoroughly mastered the means of interstellar navigation in the middle and long distance!
A treasure mountain is in front of people, and now people only need to keep mining and development!
A group of scientists are also eager to discuss the conditions of the strange planet.For them, exploring and discovering the unknown is always the most exciting thing to do.
One of the astronomers said, “Did you find out?”This planet is very much like the inner core of a planet!As we all know, the earth's core is also mainly composed of iron-nickel metal, and the radius of the core is about 3,500 kilometers.
“If ... we cut off the Earth's outer crust and mantle, leaving only the core of the Earth, it would be a completely enhanced version of the metal planet.”
“In this regard, I think that this metal planet should have been a long time ago, the wreckage left by the collision of one or two planets, the collision should not be too violent, so part of the core was preserved ... and then evolved into this metal planet.”
“Where is the rest of the shell?”Another asked.
“Maybe another planet...it’s probably this one, right?”It could also be an asteroid belt here."The young scientist pointed to a picture of the stars.
The smaller planets in this region are quite dense, and there is a gas planet similar to Neptune in the farther distance, surrounded by a cloud era like Saturn's rings.So the astronomer’s statement makes a lot of sense.
All in all, the discovery of this metal planet makes everyone happy!
This is the treasure of heaven!
So, let Yi Feng immediately make up his mind to build a large number of mining bases on this metal planet!Not only the mining of helium-3, but also a large number of rare metals such as uranium, lithium, titanium, tirconium and silver!
After all, humans have not yet achieved small nuclear fusion, in addition to the deep space, the other aircraft is still using conventional power, so the more uranium ore this thing is absolutely the better!
Energy, he is definitely not too much, after all, the uranium ore of the planet Knicks has been dug up almost, and humans have not got much.
Gold and silver are some industrial materials, of course, they are more beneficial.
