Chapter 290 Europa ([-])

"Six more nuclear power plants will be built?" Chen Mengchuan looked at Toni.

The latter nodded: "It's not necessary, but preparations have already begun. The selection of points has been completed. Although our energy supply is sufficient at present, as more metal smelting plants start to work, the electricity needed on the entire Mars will There is no longer enough."

"Has the production of graphene solar photovoltaic power plants started?" Chen Mengchuan asked.

"The preparations have already begun. There will be 128 solar photovoltaic power plants orbiting Mars. There are several jobs here, some of which are graphene manufacturing, and some of which are the construction of photovoltaic power plants. These require a lot of multi-armed crabs, Wan Yu Tell me that multi-armed crabs are being produced at full speed on the earth, and there will be 10 multi-armed crabs in half a month, but this will be half a month after all."

"It seems that the quantity and quality of the uranium mines we have discovered on Mars are very good." Chen Mengchuan smiled.

Toni nodded: "That's true, that's why I started to build energy supplies on a large scale. These 6 large-scale nuclear power plants can provide sufficient energy, and each nuclear power plant can cover a large area of ​​metal within its respective range. The smelting plant, and then the continued completion of the graphene solar photovoltaic power plant, about 3 months later, our metal smelting work will all be on track."

Chen Mengchuan nodded, he was satisfied with this speed.

After the metal smelting factory is fully fired, the captured asteroids will be continuously decomposed and smelted to produce countless metals and other material resources.

If these resources are obtained from the earth, I am afraid that no matter how large the financial resources of Tianzhi Technology, it will be stretched, because there are too many.The capture of the asteroid was the first to get on track.

The number of asteroid capture ships has increased to thousands. After upgrading the space travel and space folding, the speed has been increased again. More and more asteroids have been continuously captured on Mars and then cut open. , crushed and sent to the metal smelting plants one by one, and then the metal raw materials are purified.

Some time ago, Chen Mengchuan began to prepare for the solar system exploration and development plan.Today's Mars, although Tianzhi Technology has been here for a short time, it can be said that it has taken root. Bases, metal smelters, nuclear power plants, exploration bases, and mineral resource bases are constantly expanding. The multi-armed crabs were continuously produced and quickly released throughout Mars.

In this process of continuous development, energy is undoubtedly the most important prerequisite. Although the energy problem of the multi-armed crab has not faced the problem of energy shortage or energy shortage under a large number of plans, it has also been received more or less. Some looming constraints, in terms of energy.

Toni started the construction of both ground and ground energy supply stations, with the purpose of striving for the fastest construction.

Each of these building facilities on the Mars base is a major consumer of electricity, whether it is a metal smelting plant or an exploration stronghold or base.

While the overall infrastructure of Mars was covered at a uniform speed and orderly, Chen Mengchuan and others also set their sights on some farther places early.

The solar system exploration and development plan has only now taken its first step.

"It's time to spare some resources to explore other planets." Chen Mengchuan said slowly.

Toni nodded, "Then it's Jupiter."

"Yes." Chen Mengchuan confirmed.

Jupiter is a very eye-catching planet in the entire solar system. The first reason is that Jupiter is large enough. Although its density is not particularly large, its volume and its equatorial diameter are the largest.

In the current human world, NASA has the most understanding of Jupiter.

NASA has done a lot of exploration on Jupiter. NATA’s Jupiter experts have judged through observation and data analysis that if the composition of the upper layer of Jupiter’s atmosphere is calculated by the volume percentage of gas molecules, about 88~92% is hydrogen, and 8-12% is helium.From a chemical point of view, the atomic weight of helium is four times that of hydrogen. When the composition is described by mass, elements with different atomic weights will have different proportions.The atmosphere of Jupiter in a larger area is about 4% of its mass composition is hydrogen, and 75% of its mass composition is helium, and other elements may only account for the remaining less than 24%.

What is the internal structure of Jupiter? There is no final conclusion yet, but many NASA scientists judge that the elements with higher density inside Jupiter should still be dominated by hydrogen gas. Judging and guessing from the conclusion of the formation of the entire planet, Roughly 71% hydrogen, 24% helium, and 5% other elements.

Many instrument data of the exploration spacecraft can observe that Jupiter's atmosphere contains trace amounts of methane, water vapor, ammonia and silicon-based compounds based on spectroscopic and infrared facilities.At the same time, NASA scientists also believe that Jupiter also has trace amounts of carbon, ethane, hydrogen sulfide, neon, oxygen, phosphine and sulfur.

Chen Mengchuan's views on these all the time are relatively unrestrained.He believes that all the information about Jupiter is based on the analysis and judgment of observational data. Whether this is true or not, it is necessary to arrive at Jupiter and go deep into it to collect the most authentic and credible data.

"I plan to start detecting Europa first." Chen Mengchuan spoke first with a smile.

"Europa!" Toni laughed too.

"Yes, let's go to Europa first and try our low-temperature-resistant exploration spacecraft. By the way, we can see if Europa really has life in the ocean under the ice."

Chen Mengchuan's purposeful spacecraft made it clear that Europa's main composition is very similar to terrestrial planets such as Earth and Mars, and is mainly composed of silicate rocks.Moreover, according to the data of NASA's multiple probes, the surface of Europa is covered with a large amount of water, up to hundreds of kilometers thick. The upper layer is a frozen ice shell structure, while the ice shell is liquid. ocean.

Magnetic field data collected by the many exploration spacecraft that have orbited Jupiter for scientific investigations over the past few decades show that Europa itself can generate an induced magnetic field under the influence of Jupiter's magnetic field. Conducting layers similar to saltwater oceans lead from this series of comprehensive data to conclude that Europa may have a metallic iron core!The deeper the liquid ocean, the warmer it gets.

This is where the idea of ​​possible life on Europa originated.

Chen Mengchuan does not know whether Europa is alive or not, but in the dream, the human regime has made many in-depth explorations of Europa, but the data and information of these explorations have never been released to ordinary people .And Chen Mengchuan has no information channels in this regard, so he does not know the results of human exploration of Europa.

If there is no news, then it is a news worthy of attention.Chen Mengchuan is very convinced that the human regime is likely to hide a lot of unknown information.

Does Europa really have life?
