Chapter 27 (A sudden surge of anger 1): The Fence

6500 million years ago, Venus
Nikola Tesla sat opposite Director Deston in the Venus Union's office, with Dean Abbott and Colonel Fellman sitting to the side. Everyone was silent, making it seem as if they were not in a meeting.

Finally, Dean Abbott broke the silence and asked Tesla:
"Three years of observations show that Jupiter is slowly moving closer to the sun. Now no one doubts your theory of gravity. What can help us get through this crisis? Please tell us."

Nikola Tesla's expertise lay in scientific research and engineering. He was straightforward and not very adept at social skills.

Years ago, he knew that his paper, "The Dynamic Principle of Gravity," would provoke opposition and even criticism from mainstream scientists at the time, but he still stubbornly submitted it to the Union Academy of Sciences.

Tesla devised a solution to this massive crisis three years ago with the help of the Lightning Ball external brain.

This time was different. Even if he was completely ignorant of social dynamics, he could foresee the strong opposition and questioning that would provoke him once he proposed the plan.

Even he himself wasn't sure if this impractical and absurd method would succeed at every step.

“Mr. Tesla, please don’t worry. Even if the proposed solution is not feasible, we can discuss it together.” Director Deston then turned to Abbott and said, “How about this, Dean Abbott, please give a brief description of our current situation.”

An accident occurred at the hypersonic power station built by Venusians on Saturn's moon Sedna, causing Sedna to explode. Thousands upon thousands of ice fragments and rocks surrounded Saturn, enveloping it in a mass of ice exceeding one million kilometers in diameter. This massive ice mass altered the hypersonic light blocking relationship, thereby disrupting the stability and balance of the solar system.

The observational data presented by Dean Abbott shows that Venus's rotation speed is slowing down, decreasing by a few minutes each day, which is a very surprising change in astronomy.

The alternation of day and night is getting longer, and the temperature difference is getting bigger and bigger. The heat during the day and the cold at night have made life unbearable for the Venusian humans.

Almost everyone wants to escape to Mars or Earth as soon as possible, but the carrying capacity of Mars and Earth is far from meeting the needs.

Even more disheartening is that Jupiter's orbital speed is accelerating, bringing it closer to the Sun. Calculations show that after a few more orbits around the Sun, a chain reaction will occur, pushing Mars, Earth, Venus, and Mercury in turn toward the Sun.

Soon, the habitable zone of the solar system will be completely destroyed, and Venusian humans will lose their foothold.

Colonel Felman sat quietly to the side, noticing that Nikola Tesla was not quite the same as he had been on previous occasions.

In the colonel's memory, Tesla was a very opinionated person who could always find a solution no matter what crisis he faced. But this time was different; Tesla remained silent and did not utter a word.

After Dean Abbott gave a brief explanation, seeing that Tesla still didn't react, he couldn't hold back any longer and said:

"To be honest, I don't fully understand your theory of gravity yet, but I've thought of a direction for solving the problem. The huge ice mass surrounding Saturn is outside Jupiter's orbit. If we could drag some of the ice and rocks inside Jupiter's orbit, creating a reverse effect, wouldn't that prevent Jupiter from getting closer to the sun?"

Before Tesla could speak, Colonel Fellman, who was in charge of the Venus transport ships, interrupted:
"Huh? That's impossible. There should be at least hundreds of thousands or even millions of ice fragments around Saturn. We certainly don't have that many spaceships."

Director Deston sighed and said, "On a solar system scale, our human capabilities are negligible; dragging millions of pieces of ice is simply not feasible."

Nikola Tesla finally broke the silence, saying, "Abbott, your plan is not technically feasible, but the principle is correct. If we can create a circle of millions of objects inside Jupiter's orbit, it will act like a fence to reduce the intensity of solar radiation on Jupiter and prevent Jupiter from getting closer."

According to Nikola Tesla's theory of gravity, the gravitational pull of Jupiter on the Sun depends on the intensity of the energy it displaces. Jupiter's diameter is smaller than the wavelength of superluminal light, so theoretically, superluminal light cannot penetrate Jupiter and inject energy. Therefore, the intensity of the energy displaced by Jupiter should be exactly the same as the intensity of the energy radiated to it by the Sun.

However, the arc length of Jupiter's hemispheres is greater than the wavelength of superluminal light, causing a slight nuclear reaction within Jupiter. Observations and calculations indicate that this reaction emits twice the energy radiated by the Sun. The "lensing effect" of Saturn's massive ice mass intensifies the nuclear reaction within Jupiter, increasing the intensity of the emitted energy and consequently increasing its acceleration towards the Sun.

How can we counteract the extra energy intensity from Saturn's "lensing effect"? We could try to "fill" the inside of Jupiter's orbit, that is, between Jupiter and Mars, with a large amount of ice or rock.

Solar radiation heading toward Jupiter is partially blocked and scattered when it passes through these fragments, thus reducing the intensity of the radiation. This helps to counteract the effects of Saturn's ice masses and stabilize Jupiter's orbit.

Nikola Tesla slowly rose from his chair, looked around at the crowd, and said:
"The first step of my plan is to blow up Mars. To be precise, it is to build a structure 18 kilometers high on the surface of Mars to receive superluminal waves, heat up the core of Mars, and cause its surface to explode. The millions of fragments that explode into space will form a ring-shaped belt, which can be called the 'asteroid belt'. It will become a fence to reduce the gravitational pull of the sun on Jupiter."

Although everyone present had prepared themselves mentally, anticipating that Tesla's proposal would be outlandish or even absurd, they were still shocked when he mentioned "exploding Mars," and for a moment they didn't know how to respond.

Tesla, looking slightly embarrassed at the expressions on everyone's faces, continued, "Exploding Mars is technically more feasible than dragging Saturn's ice mass, and it can effectively stabilize the structure of the solar system, but I understand what you are worried about."

Like Director Deeston, Colonel Fellman wasn't an expert in astronomy and physics, but common sense told them that if Mars were to explode, it would inevitably affect Venus and Earth. Humans and most other life forms on Venus and Earth would be wiped out in this man-made catastrophe.

Director Diston calmed himself, regaining his usual rationality and composure, and said:
"Yes, Mr. Tesla, your proposal is like interrogating us: if humanity on Venus becomes extinct, should we still strive to maintain the stability of the solar system before then? Is that how I understand it?"

Should we continue to strive to maintain the solar system before humanity goes extinct? This is truly a despairing question.

Dean Abbott, who had worked with Nikola Tesla for many years and had a close personal relationship with him, stared intently at his old friend and asked:
"You're not really going to sacrifice all of Venus's humanity for the sake of the solar system's structural stability, are you? You said the Martian explosion is the first step in the plan, what are the next steps? I bet you have a way to have the best of both worlds, right?"

Nikola Tesla forced a wry smile and said, still deep in thought:
"The Exploding Mars has already surprised everyone, and I myself think this plan is too outrageous. As for the next steps, it's not that I'm afraid to say, but I can't imagine your reaction when you hear it."

The technology of Venusian humans is highly advanced, and in the last hundred years, their technological level has advanced by leaps and bounds. The three main areas that Venusian scientists are proud of are:
To obtain clean energy and develop space technology using ultraviolet light waves;
Artificial intelligence technology supported by powerful computing power;
Genetic bioengineering technology.

Nikola Tesla counted the three technological advantages of Venusian humans on his fingers. Dean Abbott seemed to understand, and suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him. He realized Tesla's intention and said:

"Your plan is to extract genetic material from every Venusian, upload it to a computer, transport it to a safe location, and after the Martian explodes, revive the human body using cloning technology, and then transfer the uploaded consciousness to the clone's brain one by one."

Colonel Fellman took several deep breaths, but still felt unbearably tight in his chest. What kind of inconceivable plan was this? Even with Tesla's Lightning Ball brain, the colonel still couldn't believe how this genius had come up with such an idea.

The colonel suddenly realized what Tesla meant when he claimed that Maria might have a way to transport the 60 billion people off Venus during the previous discussion about Venus's insufficient transport capacity.

Director Diston pondered, then concluded, as if talking to himself: "Extract genes, upload consciousness, explode Mars, clone humanity, resurrect and reborn!"

Abbott realized he had guessed correctly and pressed Tesla for an answer:
"After Mars explodes, it will no longer be suitable for human habitation. After the dust settles, according to your plan, where will we Venusians be resurrected?"

“Earth,” Nikola Tesla replied calmly.
