Chapter 94, Leverage Ceres
The mass of Ceres is 950 million tons, which is a very huge mass. Moreover, Ceres is already a circular planet and can be regarded as a planet. Of course, its mass is insignificant compared to that of a planet. The mass of the moon is more than 700 times larger than that of it, let alone a planet!
Although Ceres is very small compared to planets, 40% of its mass is water, which is equivalent to 1.1 standard freshwater on Earth. Here, the total amount of freshwater on Earth is calculated as 1. It is easy to understand that the entire water resources on Earth are 40 earth freshwater standards, and the water resources on Mars are only 0.028 standards!
Water resources are really important to life!
This is why Qingquan Technology's first stop in transforming Mars was to run to the asteroid to drag Ceres. What you are interested in is the water resources in it!
The surface area of Mars is only 28% of the earth, which is about 142 million square kilometers. It requires much less water resources than the earth. However, Mars itself is definitely not enough. It is necessary to find a large number of asteroids containing water resources from the asteroid belt and put them on Mars.
Ceres is the first target to be harmed!
However, although Ceres is a little guy in front of the planet, it is still an unshakable giant for current humans!
However, this time Qingquan Technology is prepared. In order to leverage this giant, Qingquan Technology spent nearly three years to carefully create the huge and powerful little giant "Martian". The twelve giant nuclear fusion engines are not embroidered pillows!
The huge "Mars" flew rapidly in the void of the universe, but from a distance, it was like a firefly dragging a long tail flame, quietly floating in the void. Its speed was too trivial for the vast universe!
More than an hour later, Mars passed by the moon. Many spacecraft that had been waiting for on the moon base kept flying over, joining Mars and heading to the asteroid belt together.
At the same time, after the launch of "Mars", countless spacecraft formed huge flight groups and drove to Mars on the Earth and the Moon. "Zheng He" also dispatched again. These were all going to Mars to establish a frontier base first.
The spacecraft in the sky is huge, such as the "Zheng He"? It is several kilometers long and the small ones are like a private space shuttle, constantly rising and falling on large spacecraft. Various types of space mechas are also constantly transporting various materials...
Qingquan Technology has been in full swing this time, with millions of employees, and in addition to leaving behind major bases and jobs, most of them have to set out for Mars or asteroids.
Those who go to Mars are preparing for the preliminary work of Mars transformation. Those who go to the asteroid belt are naturally looking for various valuable asteroids and dragging them back to transform Mars.
Qingquan Technology's powerful space power is fully reflected at this moment. Rogues around the world can clearly feel the huge gap with Qingquan Technology. When they were only a few spacecraft they exchanged for, the other party could already explode the sea of machines!
The rogues who had a lot of words about Qingquan Technology's exclusive Mars instantly realized their ridiculousness. With such powerful strength, occupying a planet is nothing at all, and there is no problem of occupying the earth!
Some gangsters who originally wanted to make some small moves while Qingquan Technology's main players were transforming Mars, and they all became extremely honest at this moment, and they did not dare to make any small moves at all!
...
More than ten days later, Mars finally arrived at the asteroid belt and next to Ceres. The length of Mars is more than 50 kilometers and the diameter of Ceres is a small point, but this small point requires ants to move elephants, pry Ceres and transport them to Mars.
The expensive carbon fiber rope is like a lot of money, and it is tangled to drag the rope of Ceres. Each rope has a diameter of several meters, and it has to be constantly wrapped. After all, it is used to drag a big guy like Ceres!
"Jiang Gong, all the preparations are ready and can be started!"
"Implement as planned!" Jiang Zhipeng heard the assistant's words and gave a very neat order. Then he looked at Ceres outside. Compared with the blue earth, Ceres was really not beautiful and bare!
Several large space shuttles slowly flew out of the Mars and slowly lowered into the air of Ceres. Then a huge steel fork with a long rope shot out from the rear of the plane. The steel fork flew out quickly, and the huge kinetic energy made it penetrate deep into Ceres.
Then these large space shuttles were safely planned in advance and flew on Ceres. The flight altitude was very low, almost to say it was flying close to the ground, and the speed was not very fast, and it was dragging a long tail behind it.
These large space shuttles are like spiders, dragging long silk threads to continuously weave a huge web on the surface of Ceres, a huge web of the space age.
As a tall space mecha hangs a very thick carbon fiber rope onto the load-bearing ridge of Mars, Mars and Ceres were linked together. The carbon fiber ropes responsible for linking have a diameter of dozens of meters and a length of hundreds of kilometers!
"Start!" With Jiang Zhipeng's order, the "Mars" that was originally quietly anchored in space began to spew out a hot tail flame, and as the power continued to increase, the length of the tail flame began to extend!
The carbon fiber rope connecting the two began to slowly tighten, and jumped straight to the back. Although the Mars wanted to fly towards Mars, Ceres only grabbed it without any intention of following it. It was like a naughty child pulling the elders to buy fun things, but the elders did not move at all.
"30% power output!" There was no reaction at all!
“50% power output!”
Ceres began to tremble, and the rope on the surface began to sink deeply into Ceres. The hard ice layer was pressed with huge pulling force and pressure, making huge cracks. If it was like a broken mirror, in the mud area, the rope was pressed into long deep grooves, as if a giant was deeply tied into the muscles by a rope!
The sound of "Crack~~Boom~~" continued to spread on the surface of Ceres. Ceres made a painful struggle, and the huge planet began to tremble.
“70% power output!”
At this time, the twelve giant nuclear fusion powers of the "Mars" all spewed out their powerful flames, and provided extremely powerful power. If Ceres was not dragged behind, the "Mars" with 70% power output was enough to continuously accelerate its speed to 0.1 times the speed of light!
But at this time, the huge Ceres behind it was trembling even more violently. The original autobiography had stopped due to the huge pulling force of the "Mars", and there was no autobiography. The first step was to stop Ceres from autobiography!
"Jiang Gong, according to the calculations of the supercomputer, there are 1 minute and 23 seconds left to be the best time to impact!"
"Well, follow the plan!"
Jiang Zhipeng nodded, wanting to drag Ceres and use Ceres to impact Mars. These require very precise calculation of the orbits of all planets in the solar system and taking into account all factors. Ceres is in the asteroid belt and Mars. If Ceres wants to impact Mars, they must have no errors in angle, speed, time, etc.!
Otherwise, even if there is a slight difference, it can lead to the passing of Ceres and Mars, and it will be almost impossible to drag it back at that time!
“100% power!”
The huge "Martian" began to tremble as its power was fully powered, and its tail flame suddenly became even more dazzling!
Ceres began to move slowly by a huge pulling force, following behind Mars. Then Ceres was pulled by Mars and broke away from its original orbit. The huge Mars, 2.8 astronomical units, began to exert its powerful gravity!
Ceres was only pulled by Mars and left its original orbit, but it did not leave too far, and it was not dragged by Mars and was not fast.
However, as soon as the sun's gravity acted on Ceres, Ceres, which had left the original orbit, began to pull the huge gravity of the sun and flew into the solar system, forming a new orbit!
This newly formed orbit makes Ceres fly towards the inner circle of the solar system like Halley's comet. The power of the sun is unintentional at this moment. The Mars used all her strength to drag it, but the sun could easily play Ceres at will.
“Recalculate the orbit of Ceres!”
Jiang Zhipeng saw that Ceres was dragged away from its original orbit, and then formed a new orbit under the powerful gravity of the sun. He quickly ordered whether this new orbit can intersect with Mars, and the position and time of the intersection are the key to the success of this operation!
"The new orbit of Ceres is an ellipse with the sun and Jupiter as the focus, and has two intersections with the orbit of Mars. The first time is 15:24:11 on February 23, 2030!"
Scientists and astronomers quickly used supercomputers to calculate the intersection data of the newly formed Ceres orbit and Mars orbit, and calculated the time point of the intersection!
"Calculate the probability of Mars and Ceres colliding!" Jiang Zhipeng continued to order coldly! The current time is January 18, 2030, which means that Ceres will take more than a month to cross the orbit of Mars!
This speed is relatively slow. If Mars flew back to Mars by itself, it would take less than a week to bring it from an asteroid to Mars. However, Ceres, which relies on the gravity of the sun, does not need Mars to drag it hard, unless the orbit is wrong and needs to be trimmed!
"The probability of Mars and Ceres colliding is 99.99%! It is exactly in line with our prior settings!"
"Yeah~ we succeeded!" In an instant, everyone cheered the entire Mars and the command center far away in the Earth, the Mars forward base, the moon base, the Chang'an Space City and other locations of Qingquan Technology. The first and most critical step of Qingquan Technology's transformation of Mars was successful!
