Chapter 121 A Sudden Opportunity (Two Chapters In One)

A report from the Hawke Island Academy of Sciences was sent to the Duke's mansion.

He Xiao opened it and saw that it was a recent discovery by the watchers of the Space Telescope on Hawke Island.

The general content of the report is that a space rock with a large mass broke into the solar system and has now entered the orbit of Jupiter.

However, according to calculations by the Academy of Sciences, this space rock will not have any impact on the main celestial bodies in the solar system.

The solar system is really space. The eight planets and their satellites only occupy a small space. If a single celestial body wants to hit the eight planets or their satellites, the probability is very small, and basically it will not hit it.

As for why there are so many craters on the moon and Mars, one is because there are too many rampant celestial bodies in the universe, and the other is because time is too long, billions of years, there will always be some that will hit...

According to the calculation of the orbit of this space rock by the Academy of Sciences, this space rock came from outside the Kuiper belt, passed through the orbits of Neptune, Uranus, and Saturn in sequence, and will continue to cross the orbit of Jupiter, and then pass by Mars. Then return to Jupiter's orbit again, meet Jupiter, be accelerated by Jupiter's gravitational slingshot, and shoot out of the solar system...

The "rubbing against Mars" mentioned here is not really "rubbing". In fact, the closest distance to Mars is 4.2 times farther than the distance between the Earth and the Moon. When "meeting" with Jupiter, the distance between the Earth and the Moon is 9.5 times distance.

However, the mass of Jupiter is too large, and its gravitational force is 3000 times that of Mars, so Jupiter's influence on it is much greater than that of Mars.

He Xiao didn't pay much attention to this report at first. After all, there are too many space rocks in the universe. It is not uncommon for many to break into the solar system every day.

Until he noticed a sentence in the report, "According to the analysis of observation data, this space rock has a diameter of about 15 kilometers and a mass of 5500 billion tons. The main cost is likely to be water ice and ammonia ice...".

It suddenly occurred to him that he had read a paper on the transformation of Mars before, and mentioned a whimsical idea, that is, hitting Mars with an asteroid, which can release energy infinitely stronger than a nuclear bomb, and make Mars The temperature continues to rise, releasing dry ice and water on the surface and underground of Mars. The dry ice turns into carbon dioxide and enters the atmosphere of Mars, forming a greenhouse effect and increasing the surface temperature of Mars...

At the same time, the water ice and ammonia ice carried by the asteroid itself can also provide Mars with more water resources and ammonia for biological needs, making Mars a habitable planet at a very fast speed!
But there are definitely some problems with this plan, such as how to collect asteroids from the asteroid belt, although, with Blue Star's current technology, it can be achieved by landing the spacecraft on the surface of the asteroid and using its thrusters to push the asteroid in one direction, or Even pushing space rocks directly to Mars, but the thrust is too small to push asteroids or space rocks with sufficient mass.

According to estimates, to transform Mars, it is necessary to push an asteroid with a diameter of 15 kilometers and a mass of 5000 billion tons to Mars, which is much larger than the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs...

With the current level of human technology, including Hawke Island, it is impossible to do it, the difference is too far.

He Xiao also tried to edit the entry to achieve it, and the results showed that the difficulty of this entry was as high as the requirement of 3.8 million readers, and it was impossible to achieve it at this stage...

However, during the test, he found that if the asteroid is only slightly changed its orbit or speed, the difficulty of the entry is not so difficult. He also tried to use this method to change the orbit of known suitable asteroids. Can it crash into Mars? For this reason, he also specially asked some astrophysicists and mathematicians from the Academy of Sciences to help him find a suitable asteroid and calculate the trajectory.

It turned out to be too difficult.

All known asteroids with sufficient mass in the solar system are too far away from Mars. A slight change in orbit or speed will not make them hit Mars, but will only make their orbits more elliptical or more circular...

But now, when he saw the quality and composition of the extraterrestrial visitor in the report, he naturally couldn't help but think of the original test...

In fact, the reason why this report was sent to He Xiao was also because of his previous test, which let the Academy of Sciences know that he was very interested in this information, so this not very important observation result send over.

It has a diameter of about 15 kilometers and a mass of 5500 billion tons. The main cost is likely to be water ice and ammonia ice, which fit perfectly!
In fact, this cannot be said to be a coincidence. There are too many asteroids or space rocks of this level in the universe. Maybe many of them pass by the solar system every year, but most people don’t care at all. After all, they basically have no impact on the solar system.

This space rock, if He Xiao hadn't read the report, would have come and gone quietly, except for a few observation records on the blue star, it would not have caused any splashes.

It is nothing unusual to pass by Mars. It is not uncommon for asteroids to pass by the blue star. Every year, several asteroids almost hit the blue star. No one cares at all, because it is "almost" , In fact, the difference is at least a few million kilometers...

For the solar system, Mars and the blue star are too small, just like two sands on the surface of a sandbar. If you use a machine gun with bullets much smaller than the sands to shoot them, even if you shoot 100 billion bullets, it will be difficult to hit them. Such two gadgets...

But it's different now, He Xiao noticed it.

He Xiao wanted the electronic version of this report, and then began to edit entries based on the information in it.

This space rock was first discovered on Hawke Island, and it was numbered 372768 according to the rules. Since it was discovered just now, there is no entry in Dimension Encyclopedia, so He Xiao directly compiled an entry for [Space Rock 372768].

At the beginning, all the content was true, and words such as "estimated" and "possible" were used for uncertain information, so the number of readers required was naturally 0...

Then he deleted the word "probably" from the description of "the main cost is likely to be water ice and ammonia ice".

If it is not deleted, this sentence is actually an invalid description, which will reduce the detail of the entry, and the final result may not be this component. After all, it is only possible, which means that it may not be this component.

The number of readers required becomes 40233.

Based on past experience, He Xiao could easily know that the difficulty indicated that this conjecture was inaccurate, so he changed this sentence to "the main ingredient is water ice."

The number of readers required has changed to 0 again.

What does this mean?Does it mean that this space rock has no ammonia ice or very little ammonia ice?

Not necessarily, there is another possibility that there is another ingredient that exceeds the ammonia ice, but is less than the water ice...

So the first sentence is deviated from reality, and the second sentence is in line with the facts.

This is the difficulty of entry determination, many things are not only two options of yes or no.

Fortunately, He Xiao is very experienced now and knows the importance of the words used.

He thought for a while, and changed the sentence to "the main ingredients are water ice, ammonia ice, and some other substances."

The number of readers required is still 0 and has not changed.

It seems that in addition to water ice and ammonia ice, there is another substance with a relatively large proportion.

Considering that water ice and dry ice often coexist in the universe, He Xiao changed this sentence to "the main components are water ice, dry ice and ammonia ice..."

The number of readers required is still 0...

This test result proves that the main components of this space rock are water ice, dry ice and nitrogen ice, with water ice having the highest proportion, followed by dry ice, and nitrogen ice third...

It may be because the dry ice is mainly inside it, so the Academy of Sciences did not analyze it.

Next, is the most important step.

He Xiao found two astrophysicists and asked them to perform calculations, modify the orbit of this space rock, deflect it slightly, and finally hit Mars...

The two astrophysicists didn't understand the significance of what he did, but considering that the other party was a duke, they still gave face. They only took a few hours to remake a trajectory map according to He Xiao's request.

In this trajectory map, the orbit of space rock 372768 has changed slightly, and the final result is not to pass by Mars, but to hit Mars directly...

He Xiao ordered the audience to thank and entertain the two scientists, and then uploaded this picture to the entry.

The number of readers required suddenly changed to 16401422...

Obviously, it can be seen from the picture that only a very small change has taken place, but unexpectedly, the difficulty has directly increased by more than 1600 million.

That’s right, after all, it’s a map of the solar system, and a slight change means it’s deviated by millions of kilometers...

And it's a 5500 billion tons big guy, and it takes a lot of energy to make it deviate a little bit...

If it weren't for its original trajectory passing by Mars, it would be impossible for them to collide...

He Xiao modified this entry again, added more details, and increased the level of detail to over 55%.

He didn't commit, though, because he wasn't sure the plan would actually work.

After all, human beings still know too little about Mars, and the rules of the universe are just an introduction. There is no guarantee whether the plan is feasible to let massive asteroids or space rocks hit Mars to transform Mars.

And whether the previously estimated mass of 5000 billion tons is accurate is also a question. If such a large space rock hits it and directly makes the environment of Mars even worse, it will be embarrassing.

Therefore, the consequences of this plan must be tested before the plan can be implemented.

He Xiao edited an entry [Mars Upheaval]

In this entry, he advanced the time of space rock 372768 by 100 years, so in this entry, it collided with Mars a long time ago...Of course, its name has been changed, and it cannot be the same in 100 years serial number.

The number of readers required for the entry is 13 billion...

This is completely an impossible task at this stage. Even if the number of people reaches the standard, the trust rate cannot reach the standard...

But don't worry, He Xiao himself didn't want to submit this entry, he just wanted to test it.

In this entry, he compiled the changes in the Martian environment after the impact according to the speculation in the previous paper.

The huge energy generated by the impact caused the surface of Mars to heat up sharply. The average temperature reached about 25 degrees. The water ice on Mars melted, and the water ice carried by space rocks melted. The ocean reappeared in the crater near the Martian equator. Mars has A dense atmosphere dominated by carbon dioxide, because carbon dioxide has a strong greenhouse effect, so even if the energy of the space rock impact dissipates a little bit, the temperature on the surface of Mars can always be maintained at around 25 degrees...

The impact also reignited the inner core of Mars,

The atmospheric pressure on the surface of Mars has reached 0.95 standard atmospheres, which is almost the same as the surface of the blue star.

Temperature issues, water, atmosphere, and magnetic field protection, there is no need for a biosphere on Mars, and blue star plants can be directly planted...

Temporary storage, the number of entry readers soared to 72 billion...

No problem, it's just a test.

As it stands now, he programmed the desired outcome and then changed the conditions.

See which condition can make this result the least difficult to achieve, then in turn, this condition is the most suitable.

He changed the mass of the space rock from the actual 5500 billion tons to 6000 billion tons.

The number of entry readers changed from 72 billion to 71.2 billion, a drop of 0.8 million...

This shows that 6000 billion tons is a more suitable quality...

Changed to 7000 billion tons, another 1.2 million drops...

Changed to 10000 trillion tons, this time it returned to 71.5 billion...

This shows that the most suitable mass should be 7000-10000 billion tons.

In the end, he determined this mass at 8300 billion tons.

Then, through a similar method, he determined that the most suitable composition ratio of this space rock is 52% water ice, 36% dry ice, and 12% ammonia ice...

Based on these test results, he modified the indicators in the Space Rock 372768 entry.

This also led to an increase in the number of readers required to 2216 million.

Not surprising, after all, in the new entry, it is not surprising that not only changing the orbit of the space rock, but also slightly changing the quality and composition of the space rock is more difficult.

To be honest, it was a little lower than what He Xiao expected. It seems that the system may have deduced an easier way to increase this space rock, such as capturing one or several similar space rocks in the middle...

The requirement of 2216 million readers, to be honest, is usually difficult to achieve.

But if it is heavy news, it will be different, and there is every chance that it will be realized within a month!
This is another big plan.

First of all, he asked the hound to lead some "spectators" to control all the researchers who knew the real observation results of the space rock 372768. This is very simple. They are all from Hawke Island. Just go online.

Then, through a few small entries with low difficulty, He Xiao made the space telescopes of the same level in other countries fail to observe the space rock 372768. Naturally, this was done to prevent other companies from coming out to refute the rumors...

There are only three space telescopes of this level, including the Watcher on Hawk Island, in the entire Blue Planet. One was jointly launched by the United States and the Western Continent Space Agency, and the other was launched by Dongguo. It is easy to handle.

Next, the Hawk Island Academy of Sciences officially announced to the world: Mars is about to suffer a super impact at the level of dinosaur extinction, which will completely change the ecology of Mars!
