Chapter 760 Arrive one after another
When Zhurong Class 002 arrives at Venus.
It has reached January 5, 2020.
The team Cheng Lin knew that they could not waste their time now because their working hours on Venus were about 24 months.
Nearly 5 months have passed since they arrived at Venus, and the time left for them is only about 19 months left.
Moreover, when working on an alien planet, the time cannot be stuck too tightly. One or two months of emergency time must be reserved for emergencies.
After Zhurong 002 arrived, Cheng Lin and Wang Yunhai began to deploy the manufactured functional modules one by one into the floating city through remote control.
After the wind power generation module is assembled into the floating city, it is connected to the previous toner energy storage power generation module, and then the power distribution and control module.
Because the wind power in Venus' atmosphere is too strong, the blades of wind turbines are all specially designed styles, vertical and simple blades that can generate electricity in any direction.
On Blue Star, the commonly used windmill-type blades are not suitable for Venus' atmosphere.
In the strong wind, rows of wind turbines are constantly rotating, and contactless magnetic levitation bearings are used to prevent the fan from worrying about mechanical wear.
"Captain, the power generation power has stabilized. The current minimum power is 60,000 megawatts and the maximum power is 136,000 megawatts." Wang Yunhai said looking at the data.
"Sure enough, Venus' wind energy is very abundant, so it is time to set up limited settings."
"receive."
The limited setting is to avoid problems. Limiting the power of the power generation equipment can reduce the production problems caused by power instability.
You should know that in many industrial production processes, the power supply requirements are very strict. If fluctuations occur frequently, it may cause product problems.
Since the power generation power of wind power modules fluctuates between 6 and 136,000 megawatts, it is usually only possible to obtain a low of 60,000 megawatts, and even to ensure that there is no accident, it can only obtain a usage quota of 40,000 to 50,000 megawatts.
Of course, although a limited usage quota is adopted, this is only for wind power modules.
For this kind of garbage electricity that generates unstable power, the Federation has long had a mature treatment plan, that is, toner energy storage power generation technology.
The unstable part is generated, and it is intercepted to produce toner, and then the second generation is generated with the toner.
In this process, although about 23% of the electricity will be lost, it is better than wasting it all.
Moreover, the toner energy storage and power generation technology is very effective for peak shaving and valley filling.
Now, a floating city consisting of five floating modules is suspended in a height of 47 kilometers, with a total buoyancy of about 32,000 tons.
Subtracting the current weight of about 6,700 tons and equipment, there is still about 25,300 tons of available buoyancy. In addition, if the height is lowered, the load bearing can continue to be improved.
Currently, among the functional modules of floating cities, there is only one N30 manufacturing module. The full production power is 5,000 megawatts, and 1,200 tons of N30 fuel can be produced every day.
The remaining electricity can only be used in toner production.
Fortunately, in a few days, two forward-class spacecraft will arrive at Venus and will be transported to a module for handling toner.
At this stage, it is not that wind power is not enough, but that it is endless.
The storage space of toner in floating cities is relatively limited. If these toners cannot be processed in time, they will only waste power generation.
Therefore, we must find a way to solve this problem.
The treatment solution of the Ministry of Aerospace is to make a sphere that is resistant to high temperature and high pressure. In fact, it is to use materials similar to the vacuum cavity shell to make such spheres.
This type of sphere can store 500 tons of toner in a single sphere.
The spheres that store toner will be thrown to the surface of Venus.
That's right, carbon storage balls will be thrown on the surface of Venus instead of being stored in floating cities, wasting the precious buoyancy of floating cities.
This solution is to quickly realize the atmosphere transformation of Venus and fix the carbon elements in the atmosphere on the ground.
This uses the energy of Venus' atmosphere to gradually reduce the concentration of Venus' atmosphere. As long as the concentration of Venus' atmosphere drops to about 20% now, the construction of ground stations can be started.
In the Venus atmosphere, the proportion of carbon dioxide is as high as 96.5%, so decomposing carbon dioxide has become the most ideal solution.
As for another product decomposed by carbon dioxide, oxygen, part of it will be released back into the atmosphere as industrial raw materials for floating cities.
The last part will be loaded into similar spheres, cured with oxygen solidifier, and then thrown to the surface of Venus.
These carbon storage balls, oxygen storage balls and so on that thrown on the surface of Venus will have a storage period of about 150 years ago.
As long as the Federation successfully establishes permanent bases on Venus' ground during this period, the reserves of these storage balls can be used as industrial raw materials.
It is equivalent to a refined semi-finished raw material warehouse.
The Ministry of Aerospace has formulated a 30-year curing plan for this purpose, which plans to reduce the gases and substances in the Venus atmosphere to 5 to 10% now in the next 30 years.
This is a very long plan, but it is the most likely solution to transform Venus.
The supporting plans include the Venus Space Elevator Plan and the Venus Dome Plan.
The Venus Space Elevator Plan does not need to be explained in detail, because this is a replica of the Blue Star Space Elevator Plan.
The Venus Dome Project is a super project in a super project. The Ministry of Aerospace plans to wrap the entire Venus with a dome.
According to the current material strength, the dome height is 3,500 meters above sea level, covering all the surface of Venus, and at the same time passing through the walls, different areas are separated.
The purpose of comprehensive coverage and then separating different areas is to create artificial protective layers, and to limit the active volcanic eruptions of Venus to the surface and local areas.
According to the goal of the solidification plan, Venus' atmosphere may be completely stripped away in the future and become a bare planet.
These plans are very large and take a lot of time, and may require several generations of perseverance to transform.
Compared to building large giant structures in space and building giant structures on the surface of the planet, the possibility of being observed by other galaxies is even smaller.
Of course, the Venus Dome system is a gradual process.
At the beginning, construction can be started from a local small area, such as the ground station of a space elevator, where a dome space can be built first.
A few days later.
Two forward-class spacecraft arrived and brought a storage ball manufacturing module. This module can also be used to create a vacuum cavity, but the vacuum cavity also requires other spare parts to create a floating module.
When the storage ball manufacturing module is assembled, the surplus toner produced by the toner energy storage module is stored in these storage balls.
Then throw it down on the surface.
The storage ball weighing more than 500 tons was thrown down from a height of 47 kilometers and smashed heavily into the rock formations on the ground.
If you peel off the dense atmosphere, you can see that under the floating city, there are large pits on the ground, with storage balls inside.
On average, six or seven storage balls were thrown to the surface of the ground in one day.
In order to avoid smashing only one area, floating cities will adjust the suspended area from time to time.
