Chapter 776 Callisto, who is about to embark on a journey
Although more than 1,000 planetary engines were used to move Callisto this time, because the planetary engines used this time are no longer the first-generation planetary engines used by humans to move Ceres, they are inferior in all aspects of performance.
There has been a qualitative improvement, so these planetary engines have been running without any problems until now.
However, Guo Chen, Zhang Yi and others are very clear that even for these planets, the engines are no longer the first generation of planetary engines made by human civilization. The training of these planetary engines has been qualitatively improved compared to the previous generation.
But losses are absolutely unavoidable. After all, the working environment of these planetary engines is so harsh, losses are naturally inevitable.
At the same time, Zhang Yi and the staff of related projects who were far away at the lunar base were also very busy, always analyzing the data fed back by Guo Chen and others, and sending the analysis results back to Guo Chen and his fleet.
At the same time, basically more than five spacecrafts of various types depart from the lunar base and fly to Jupiter every day, and the main function of these spacecrafts is to provide supplies for Guo Chen and his team. After all, this time in order to move Callisto,
Although the fleet dispatched by human civilization is not large in size, the number of personnel in the fleet is quite large. In addition, the scale of the civilian fleet is huge, so the requirements for supplies are not many. Fortunately, human civilization has the ability at this time.
Provided certain supplies for the fleet far away from Jupiter.
Time has passed in the intense busyness of Zhang Yi and others, and today is the day when Callisto will completely break the gravitational balance between it and Jupiter. Today Callisto will completely break away from Jupiter's gravity and move towards human beings.
Its scheduled orbit stipulates that it will travel forward and meet Venus a few years later.
Although human civilization has spent a lot of manpower, material resources and time to get Callisto out of its original trajectory this time, this is definitely something that human civilization is very proud of. After all, Callisto is larger than
One hundred billion tons!
But what about human civilization? Human civilization is actually moving towards the era of large-scale aerospace. It has only been less than ten years. Even including the launch of the first satellite by human civilization, until now, the real aerospace activities of human civilization have not been until now.
So far it has only been less than a hundred years.
But now human civilization has the ability to move a planet with a mass of about 100 billion tons. This is definitely a miracle, because generally speaking, it is absolutely impossible for civilizations at this level to do such a thing.
After all, human civilization has not yet truly entered the level of first-level civilization.
Although at this stage of civilization, it is not that no civilization has the ability to transform a planet, nor is there no civilization that has the ability to move such a huge planet, but in order to transform a planet or move such a huge planet, these civilizations,
None of them require more than a hundred years of preliminary preparation. If you add the others, it will take at least hundreds of years. But now human civilization has achieved it in such a short period of time. Let’s talk about it.
Certainly no civilized person would believe that.
Of course, during this period of time, due to the action of these planetary engines on Callisto, even with the naked eye it can be seen that Callisto has deviated from its original orbit. Even people with a little knowledge of astronomy can
We know that Callisto is already crumbling at this time and may be thrown out by Jupiter at any time.
And because the trajectory of Callisto at this time is no longer in its original orbit, Callisto will often be hit by some meteorites during its flight at this time, and some meteorites are relatively large. If these meteorites are allowed to
If it hits Callisto, it will definitely cause damage to the planetary engine on it. Therefore, before these large meteorites hit Callisto, they will be crushed by a fleet guarding it for four weeks.
Of course, even if this is the case, in the past period, some of the planetary engines on Callisto have been damaged due to the impact of these meteorites, and thus cannot work.
Fortunately, since the reliability of the second-generation planetary engine is far greater than that of the first-generation planetary engine, so far, the loss of all planetary engines on Callisto has not exceeded 10%, which is far lower than Zhang
Yi the quantity they previously expected.
Of course, this time the success of human civilization will soon make Callisto successfully escape the orbit of Jupiter. In this way, a great moment will naturally be indispensable, attracting the attention of all mankind. At this moment on earth, countless people are watching Guo Chen and their actions on the Internet.
Although the information received on the earth was five or six hours ago, this did not affect everyone's interest at all!
At this time, on Guo Chen's flagship, there were reporters from major radio stations from all major states on the earth, and at this time, these people all focused their cameras on Callisto, for fear of missing the slightest bit.
screen.
"Hello everyone, welcome to the Earth Federation TV. I am currently broadcasting the entire process of our human civilization moving Callisto from the fleet near Jupiter. Of course, when you see my live broadcast, it will be five hours later.
, but it doesn’t matter, I don’t think it will affect everyone’s interest.
According to the current map of Callisto's operation on the virtual screen on the flagship, I think everyone can clearly see that through nearly a year of hard work, Callisto at this time has long ceased to follow its original trajectory.
The speed of Callisto is also far from what it was before. It can be said that Callisto has reached the critical point of breaking away from Jupiter's gravity at this time.
At the same time, we can also see from the data on the virtual display screen on the spacecraft that according to calculations, it is still about half an hour before Callisto leaves Jupiter. As long as another half hour passes, Callisto can follow human will
After breaking away from Jupiter, this is the strength of human civilization now that it is united.
At the same time, this is also the second time that human civilization has used its own power to move a second planet in the universe after moving Ceres, and its size is also far larger than the Ceres that we moved and successfully hit Venus before.
According to what I learned from Fleet Commander Guo Chen, the person in charge of this operation to move Callisto and the person in charge of this fleet, Callisto will fly in space for more than a dozen times after leaving the orbit of Jupiter.
The distance of 100 million kilometers is expected to take about 15 months to finally reach the orbit of Venus.
Of course, after Callisto reaches the orbit of Venus, it will not directly collide with Venus. Even though Callisto will orbit Venus for a period of time, and in the process of orbiting Venus, Callisto will gradually get closer to Venus.
