Academicians of major countries start from top students

For the public, being able to witness astronauts landing on Mars and bringing back soil samples is already an extremely shocking thing.

Immerse yourself in the pride and joy generated by the rapid development of science and technology.

But at this moment, they were suddenly told that landing on Mars was just an appetizer.

In fact, the Martian environment needs to be transformed.

Faced with such a huge project of the century, one can imagine how he felt.

Some people even experienced a brief brain freeze when they first saw the news reports, and then they came back to their senses after a few seconds and fell into ecstasy.

As for the Alliance's announcement that it would build a second interstellar spaceship, the response was mediocre.

obviously.

Now everyone thinks that only one spaceship is not enough.

However, this situation occurred mainly because the Alliance did not make clear the purpose of this spacecraft.

If everyone knew that the new spacecraft would sail out of the solar system and lead the human pioneers to Proxima Centauri, I'm afraid the emotions would be even more shocked. After all, it is human nature to be curious about the unknown.

As these two events were reported globally, mainstream media around the world rushed to repost them.

Online discussions on the topic of transforming the Martian environment.

The heat is getting higher and higher.

According to statistics from various platforms, more than one billion people participated in the topic discussion at the peak period.

There are basically only three points of concern.

When will the transformation be completed?
Any chance of being a Martian?

Will it be broadcast live?

On the contrary, almost no one mentions the dangers of the transformation plan.

According to everyone, since it was Chief Xu who came up with the plan and it had been verified by the model, there was nothing to worry about.

Support is all.

Just click on the comment section of any related video and you can see similar messages.

"Fuck, this is too efficient. Not long after landing on Mars, they are already starting to transform the Martian environment!"

“I thought it was someone’s own copywriting, but it turned out to be released by the official account of the league.”

"The plan was formulated by Chief Xu, so it must be stable."

“Are we finally going to start our second home?”

"expect."

"I heard that they are going to control an asteroid to hit Mars. I wonder if the whole process will be broadcast live. This is much more exciting than going to the cinema to watch a sci-fi blockbuster."

"I'm afraid our generation won't be able to see the final results."

"There is still a chance to become a Martian. It depends on the announced plan. Although the entire transformation period is long, a Martian city will be built first in the middle."

"We are also going to build a second interstellar spacecraft, probably to better transform the Martian environment."

……

While the Internet was bustling with activity, Xu Yuan had already returned to the laboratory and immediately began to arrange follow-up work within the alliance.

In addition to transforming Mars, the main thing right now is to design a new interstellar spacecraft.

The difficulty of carrying out two projects at the same time is greatly increased.

Fortunately, the plan for transforming the Martian environment has been verified by large models and will be relatively easy.

"You should all be clear about the situation. Next, we will have a heavy task." In the conference room, Xu Yuan sat at the main seat of the rectangular conference table, looked at the core scientific research experts in the alliance on both sides, and mentioned the project content again.

The words fell.

The excitement was visibly evident on the faces of everyone in the venue.

It can be said that I am eager to try it.

As scientific researchers, we will naturally not shrink back because of scientific research tasks.

On the contrary, it is the pursuit of the spiritual satisfaction that comes after overcoming a certain technical difficulty.

In order to come up with a feasible plan for transforming the Martian environment, everyone put a lot of effort into this matter. Fortunately, the plan finally passed the calculation verification of the large model.

Under such circumstances, everyone certainly hopes that this Mars environment transformation plan can be implemented in a concrete manner.

This way their efforts will not be in vain.

Originally, many people were worried that the member states might give in and eventually deny the implementation of the plan because the Mars environment transformation plan would take a hundred years.

Now the plan has been successfully approved and announced to the public.

They must be so happy that they can't even contain themselves.

So when the thought stayed here, he immediately heard He Luping, who was sitting on the left, speak first.

"For this century-long project, we, the old guard, will give the newcomers behind us a good start."

"This can be regarded as making up for the regret in advance."

The opening that He Luping mentioned is naturally to control the asteroids to impact the surface of Mars.

It is true that they formulated the main plan, but because the project cycle was too long, they were destined to not be able to participate in the entire process, nor would they be able to see what the Martian environment will look like after it is completed.

But as the saying goes, each generation has its own mission. Once we have completed the beginning of this century-long project, even if we cannot see the final scene, we will have no regrets.

Professor Wood, who was also very excited about the transformation of the Martian environment, immediately took over He Luping's words and said, "We have already searched a large number of asteroids in the asteroid belt. I believe we will soon be able to identify suitable targets, and then we will ask for the help of interstellar spacecraft to install high-power nuclear fusion engines on the asteroids."

"We really should finish this as soon as possible." The others behind him also echoed, "If we progress faster, the people behind us can complete the transformation of Mars one day earlier."

Xu Yuan listened to everyone's words and suddenly seemed a lot more relaxed.

He undoubtedly has great confidence in the abilities of He Luping and Professor Wood.

After all, I have worked with them for a long time.

Therefore, Xu Yuan did not delay any longer and immediately turned his gaze towards the two of them and said solemnly:
"Our Mars environment transformation plan has passed the relevant verification of the large model. The next step is to execute it according to the plan."

"As for the mission of controlling the asteroid from impacting the surface of Mars, I will leave it to you to carry out the specific execution."

"I need to spend some time designing a brand new interstellar spaceship."

Unlike the Zhengtu, the new interstellar spacecraft is intended to leave the solar system and head to Proxima Centauri.

In addition to ensuring the safety of the crew for decades, they also need to deal with the complex and changing environment in the universe.

This requires a powerful weapon system.

After all, even in the space environment within the solar system, there are many dangerous places.

Not to mention a completely unfamiliar universe.

Another issue is the spacecraft's speed.

Although the Journey starship uses a brand new nuclear fusion engine.

With the addition of a force field drive device, its maximum flight speed reaches one percent of the speed of light, but this speed is still too slow to reach Proxima Centauri.

According to Xu Yuan's ideal speed, the spacecraft must at least be able to reach more than 20% of the speed of light. Otherwise, the journey will take too long, and the crew on the spacecraft may not live long enough to return to Earth.

Besides, living on a spaceship for decades is boring in itself.

It’s because human civilization has not yet developed a hibernation capsule that can allow people to enter a deep sleep for a period of time.

He Luping and Professor Wood in the conference room both followed Xu Yuan to attend the online meeting.

So naturally I know everything about the new spaceship.

Hearing Xu Yuan mention this matter again, his brows couldn't help but frown slightly.

After a pause, he said, "With our current level of technology, it is still too difficult to develop a spacecraft capable of traveling to Proxima Centauri."

As He Luping finished speaking, although the others around him did not speak, they could not help but look embarrassed.

It is clear how challenging this project is.

It is no exaggeration to say that it has already surpassed the transformation of the Martian environment.

After all, transforming the Martian environment sounds like an impossible task, and it actually requires a lot of time.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

In terms of technical difficulty, it is still within an acceptable range.

Otherwise, the large model established would not be able to pass the Martian environment transformation plan in one go.

To be honest, Xu Yuan was not 100% sure about designing a new interstellar spacecraft, but now he could only try his best to develop a faster engine.

I thought that as long as the spacecraft's flight speed could be solved, the rest would be much simpler.

When the thought stopped here, he immediately waved his hand and said, "Leave this matter to me. Your next task is to successfully complete the first step of the Mars environmental transformation plan."

Both He Luping and Professor Wood have a clear understanding of their own strengths.

I understand that I really can't help Xu Yuan in the research and development of a new type of interstellar spacecraft.

Even if he participated rashly, Xu Yuan might be led astray due to some wrong ideas.

If this situation really happens, it will be a hindrance.

For the time being, just as Xu Yuan had arranged, completing the first step of the Mars environment transformation plan is their most urgent task.

After thinking this through, the two expressed their opinions on the spot.

"It's Chief Xu. Make sure the asteroid impact mission on Mars is completed."

for the rest of the time.

Xu Yuan also gave a detailed explanation to Professor He Luping and Professor Wood on the possible problems and countermeasures that may arise in the process of controlling asteroids.

Although in the simulation calculations of the large model, controlling the asteroid impact on the surface of Mars was very smooth.

But in the unknown space, who knows if any special variables will suddenly appear, which may affect the final result.

Therefore, it is necessary to formulate corresponding plans in advance so that we can remain calm when facing emergencies and nip serious consequences in the bud.

It must be said that what Xu Yuan said brought a lot to both of them.

I am more confident about what I will do next.

that's it.

When the meeting was over, everyone returned to their busy and intense work state.

Begin preparations for asteroid control.

As for Xu Yuan, he basically entered a state of seclusion.

Apart from eating and resting, he basically stayed at the alliance headquarters, concentrating on finding ways to upgrade the nuclear fusion engine.

Yes.

He planned to first solve the problem of the engine that would make the spacecraft faster, and then design the structural shape of the spacecraft.

However, the name of this spacecraft has already been decided.

It was named by him.

After all, traveling to Proxima Centauri, which is more than four light years away, can be considered a true voyage for today's human civilization.

Unlike previous studies of these scientific problems, humans now have superconducting quantum computers, and Xu Yuan can also use quantum computers to calculate the direction of upgrading the nuclear fusion engine.

This will undoubtedly save him a lot of time and will be of great help in the development of new interstellar spacecraft.

It can be said that it was precisely because of the existence of quantum computers that Xu Yuan agreed to the alliance's plan more readily.

Instead of putting all our hopes on transforming the environment of Mars, we are going to the Proxima Centauri system for exploration and investigation.

Otherwise, if there were no superconducting quantum computers, he would definitely not agree to send a spacecraft to Proxima Centauri now. This is indeed a bit early for human civilization that has not yet completed its research in the solar system.

-

As time goes by, under the attention of people all over the world, the progress of the Global Space Exploration Alliance's Mars environment transformation project can only be described as rapid.

Not only in a short period of time, but also in the vast asteroid belt, a more suitable target was selected.

With the help of the interstellar spacecraft Zhengtu and relying on engineering robots, a nuclear fusion engine was installed on the asteroid.

These engines will provide power to the asteroid, causing it to deviate from its original orbit.

After accelerating, it crashes into the surface of Mars at a standstill.

The purpose of controlling asteroid impacts on Mars is mainly to increase the Martian air pressure by releasing gas.

So this means that the diameter of this asteroid will definitely not be too small.

Otherwise, the desired effect will not be achieved and we may have to choose a second asteroid.

It is also worth mentioning that in order to meet everyone's wishes, the alliance decided after discussion that the controlled asteroid impact on the surface of Mars will be broadcast live around the world in real time.

When this news was announced, it instantly caused an excitement among all netizens.

As the Earth has been hit by an asteroid before, everyone knows the horror of it, but there is no way to witness it with their own eyes and appreciate this great power from the universe.

But now human civilization will rely on its own strength to artificially replicate this grand scene.

Not to mention anything else, this gimmick alone is enough to drive everyone crazy.

Anyway, you should watch it.

Everyone has been watching the construction of the lunar base for such a long time, and is relatively less interested in it than before. Now that there is a new live broadcast to watch, everyone naturally rushes into the live broadcast room early to wait.

For this reason, on the day when the asteroid engine was about to be launched, the number of people watching the live broadcast online around the world once again set a new record.

Especially when filmed from the perspective of the Zhengtu interstellar spacecraft, the live broadcast clearly showed the nuclear fusion engine installed on the asteroid, and the refresh frequency of the barrage in the live broadcast room suddenly skyrocketed.

"It's finally time to hit."

"It's a big little star, luckily it was Mars that was hit."

"I dare not think about it. What would happen if it happened to the Earth?"

"This is simply a smaller version of a planetary engine. It beats all the science fiction movies I've seen before in all aspects."
