Chapter 752: The first draft is tentative

With the preliminary plan for the floating module, everyone struck while the iron was hot and discussed the design of the Venus Industrial System.

Zhang Guoxue, a researcher in Venus’ atmosphere, first introduced the jade: "First, the main component of Venus’ atmosphere is carbon dioxide, which accounts for about 96.5%, and then about 3.5% of nitrogen."

He said, and pulled out the composition diagram of the atmosphere of Venus:

"Don't think that the nitrogen content in Venus' atmosphere is only 3.5%, so Ignore the total amount of nitrogen in Venus' atmosphere. In fact, the total amount of nitrogen in Venus' atmosphere is about four times that of the Blue Star atmosphere."

Another researcher added: "Based on the total nitrogen reserves in the Venus atmosphere, our N-series fuel will be the mainstream of the Venus spacecraft."

Jiang Feng, the head of the Venus Exploration Bureau, heard this: "In this way, the N30 fuel manufacturing plant must be included in the industrial projects of the floating city."

"Yes." Zhang Guoxue nodded.

From the composition diagram of the Venus atmosphere, it can be seen that in addition to carbon dioxide and nitrogen, the other components of the Venus atmosphere have a content ranging from high to low, namely sulfur dioxide, argon, water vapor, carbon monoxide, helium, and neon.

In terms of development value, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, helium, and water vapor have high value.

Sulfur dioxide and the like are not very useful for the time being.

After all, from the nitrogen reserves of Venus, we can see how huge the reserves of Venus carbon dioxide and other reserves are.

The application of carbon elements in nanomaterials is much richer than sulfur, argon, neon, etc. The Federation can extract carbon dioxide from Venus' atmosphere and extract a large amount of carbon.

Then, carbon is used to synthesize various primary materials such as graphene, carbon fiber, carbon nanotubes, fullerene, diamond, graphite, and carbonyne, and then these primary raw materials are used to further synthesize composite materials.

Nitrogen is the material that currently produces N30 fuel, which can completely make Venus' fuel self-sufficiency.

In addition, the solar energy intensity of Venus is about 1.4 times higher than that of Blue Star's near-Earth orbit. When using solar panels here, solar panels of the same area will have about 1.4 times higher power generation power.

Coupled with the miniaturization technology of China National Nuclear Corporation's nuclear fusion power plant, the design and construction of 3,000 tons of the entire machine has been achieved, and the power generation power can reach 15,000 megawatts.

Of course, this miniaturization technology can only be used in nuclear fusion with helium 3 as nuclear fuel.

However, there is a good news here, that is, Venus has a lot of helium content, and the magnetic field of Venus itself is not strong and the atmosphere is thick, which effectively intercepts helium 3 brought by the solar storm.

According to the detection and analysis in recent years, the total content of helium in the Venus atmosphere may be about 8 to 15 times that of the moon.

This will help the floating cities to refine helium 3 in the Venus atmosphere, achieving self-sustainment of part of the nuclear fuel of the nuclear fusion power station.

At the same time, although the air pressure on Venus' surface reaches 92 times the standard atmospheric pressure, equivalent to the pressure of more than 1,000 meters under the Blue Star, this is not an insurmountable pressure.

At least the Huo Qubing-level built by the federal government that year can withstand this pressure, while the latest generation of shell materials can withstand the pressure of water depths of ten thousand meters.

In fact, the reason why Venus' surface is difficult to develop is not because the air pressure is too high, but because the surface temperature is too high. In addition, volcanic eruptions often and magma gushes everywhere.

Since volcanic eruptions often occur, earthquakes caused by volcanic eruptions are also common.

Therefore, to establish a permanent base on the surface of Venus, several factors must be considered, namely: high pressure resistance, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and the ability to withstand volcanic magma and volcanic earthquakes.

According to the discussions of the crowd, the result they came to be that Venus' surface base can be established, which means that the initial cost will be very high.

In such a harsh environment, it is definitely impossible to use on-site assembly, but to complete the overall construction in a floating city.

Then adjust the buoyancy through the floating module and slowly drop it to the surface. Finally, multiple modules are combined to become a ground base.

Moreover, even if the ground base is established, the harsh environment on Venus' ground still cannot be carried out, so even robots are in trouble.

After all, it is difficult for robots to ensure safety due to high temperature, high pressure and high corrosion, as well as volcanic eruptions and earthquakes.

"There will definitely be many difficulties in the early stage." Huang Xiuyuan knew the difficulties, and he continued:

"But as soon as the scale of floating cities is increased, we can consider producing sedimentants to settle dust in Venus' atmosphere and gradually reduce its atmospheric concentration."

"Academician Huang is right, and I believe that the federal technology will become more and more advanced. Maybe the base can be directly established on the Venus ground." Another old academician said confidently.

Obviously, over the years, the rapid technological progress of the Federation has given everyone a sense of confidence.

In fact, Huang Xiuyuan is also optimistic about the future. The current Blue Star technology is even more powerful in many aspects, even than the future world he remembers.

This is the potential that Blue Star, which has not undergone the Resident Evil, has a huge population advantage and the federal government's unscathing investment in education and medical care, gradually explodes.

The future in his memory is a great blessing after the large population clearance of the Resident Evil and the almost collapse of society, it is already a great blessing to recover.

This is also the goal that Huang Xiuyuan has been working hard on. He does not want humans to repeat the same mistakes. He hopes that in his lifetime, humans can become a true interstellar civilization, rather than huddling in the Blue Star for intrigue.

For example, now, the resources obtained by the Federation in developing the moon are more meaningful to humans themselves than simply squeezing the resources of Blue Stars.

At this stage, the ecological environment of Blue Star is still difficult for human civilization to get rid of.

Once Blue Star’s resources are overdeveloped, it will inevitably lead to the deterioration of the ecological environment. Blue Star may not care, but humans will definitely pay the price for their behavior.

The development of the moon, Mars, Venus, asteroid belts, etc. is to protect the ecology of the blue star and prepare for the future.

Venus' strategy has now been upgraded to the highest level, one level higher than Mars.

The reason is that Venus has the potential to become the "second blue star". If the floating city project is successful, the plan to extract the Venus atmosphere can continue. One day, Venus' atmosphere can become similar to Blue Star.

At that time, Venus will be a planet with rich resources and can accommodate some human beings.

Although this development period may take decades, decades are just a short moment in the time scale of the universe.

Huang Xiuyuan and hundreds of industry insiders continued to talk about the Venus Development plan for more than a month before finally finalizing the first draft of the Venus Development Plan.

This development plan is just a first draft and will continue to be improved in the future. If you encounter modifications or alternative projects, you will have to discuss them again.

at the same time.

The forward 003 spacecraft heading to Venus has sailed about a quarter of its journey and will arrive in Venus' low-Earth orbit in about three months.

The specific time is around October 2018.
