Chapter 181 Destructive Mining
As Lv Yongchang's voice fell, many congressmen's faces became ugly.
What is this?
Is it just for the purpose of their meeting to listen to a notice?
"Ahem!"
Seeing that something was wrong in the conference room, Congressman Lee, who was sitting on the main seat, coughed twice.
Seeing that all the members of the parliament looked at him, the old man said slowly: "I think what Professor Lu said makes sense."
"Humans have no chance to try and make mistakes."
"Since we have confirmed that the existence of Proxima Centauri civilization is 4.22 light years away, from now on, we must prepare for the war in the near future."
"Remember, you are a member of humanity!"
"I don't want someone to sit on the butt when it comes to such big troubles!"
Faced with the severe reprimand of Congressman Lee, the congressmen who originally advocated cooperation with Proxima Centre civilization changed drastically.
Sitting on his butt...
In this context, it is tantamount to a crime against humanity!
Looking at the cold light in the old man's eyes, all the congressmen present subconsciously swallowed.
...
The information from Proxima Centar civilization makes the future of human civilization seem more illusory.
Before leaving the solar system, humans have a potential enemy of life and death.
No, to be precise, there should be two.
There is also a civilization that caused the sun to change, and there has been no clue until now.
Thinking of this, Lu Yongchang, who returned to the office, sighed silently.ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ
All your eyes are enemies!
This universe is really dark!
As the saying goes, blessings are unparalleled, and misfortunes never come in singularity. Just as Lu Yongchang was worried, Zero's voice once again added a little haze to his mood.
"Professor, there's bad news."
"What's wrong?" He took a deep breath, sat upright from the office chair, and asked solemnly at the holographic projection in front of him.
"Professor, based on the current construction progress, our ore resources will be completely exhausted in two weeks."
"How could it be?" Lu Yongchang frowned immediately, "Aren't there many robots doing mining?"
"Professor, the veins that are easy to mine on the surface have basically been mined." Zero controls the holographic projection to present scenes, "Most of the remaining veins are deeper and difficult to mine."
Looking at the huge sinkholes in the image, Lu Yongchang fell into silence.
Although the Moon Palace plan has been implemented, the entire moon is covered with large and small automatic mining factories.
But the earth is still the mainstream ore source for humans.
If you want to easily obtain a large amount of ore, maybe you can only find a way from heaven.
Lu Yongchang's eyes looked through the window and towards the endless sky.
In the solar system, there is a huge asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
Among them, about 500,000 asteroids, bound by the gravity of the Sun and Jupiter, run obediently within an area of 2.17-3.64 astronomical units from the Sun.
There are a large amount of mineral deposits in these 500,000 asteroids!
But... According to current technology, mining in the asteroid belt seems to be an unrealistic choice.
Perhaps, after arriving on Mars, asteroid mining technology will be completely put on the research agenda.
The same status as this technology is also the research and development of weapons systems.
You can't go to Proxima Centauri at that time, and humans continue to attack with nuclear bombs, right?
Unlike detonating nuclear bombs in the atmosphere, there is no atmosphere in space, after the nuclear bomb explodes, it will not produce the most lethal shock wave, and will only release a small range of high temperatures, strong light and electromagnetic radiation.
This is tantamount to reducing the power of a nuclear bomb countless times.
So... the weapon system of the Starship must be designed from scratch.
Lu Yongchang sat in an office chair with a blank look, and countless thoughts appeared in his mind.
etc……
Nuclear bomb?
Nuclear bomb!!
Lu Yongchang's eyes lit up and he quickly stood up and asked Ling, "Zero, if the blasting method is used for destructive mining, how much time can the minerals on the earth last?"
After a brief wait, Zero gave a refreshing reply.
"If the dose of explosives is not considered, destructive mining is adopted directly, which is enough to meet the current construction needs."
"It's just that we don't have so much explosives at the moment."
"Who said no?" A crazy smile appeared on the corner of Lu Yongchang's mouth.
...
The Office of the President of Congress.
"Chairman, Professor Lv is here."
As the sound of zero sounded, the door of the President's Office quietly opened.
"Yongchang?" Seeing Lu Yongchang standing at the door, a trace of doubt flashed in Congressman Li's eyes.
"Is there any new news on Proxima Centara?"
Lv Yongchang shook his head and walked into Councillor Lee's office.
Then, he quickly closed the door.
Looking at Lu Yongchang's unusual behavior, the confusion in Congressman Li's eyes became increasingly intense.
"Yongchang?"
It seemed that it was influenced by Lu Yongchang's careful actions. Congressman Li subconsciously lowered his voice a little and asked in a low voice: "What happened?"
After closing the door, Lu Yongchang showed a slightly awkward smile on his face: "Chairman, I'll borrow something from you."
Councillor Lee: "???"
"Borrow something?"
"What are you doing so carefully with borrowing something?!"
The old man suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back, and lay on the chair: "Tell me, what do you want to borrow?"
“…nuclear bomb.”
Lu Yongchang added with a strange expression: "The more the better."
"Ahem!!!!"
Congressman Li was choked by his saliva. While patting his chest with his hand, he stood up from his seat and pointed at Lu Yongchang with a trembling index finger.
"No, what are you going to do with a nuclear bomb?!"
"This thing is not a joke!"
"We probably can't use the uranium 235 and plutonium 239 in the nuclear bomb now, right?"
Faced with Councillor Li's inquiry, Lv Yongchang said two words lightly.
"mining."
...
The former territory of the Soviet state.
Robots evacuated from a mine in an orderly manner.
A Xuannv II ship slowly landed from the air.
Its interior is loaded with a giant hydrogen bomb.
After rough estimates, its explosive power is about 30 million tons of tnt equivalent.
Although it is not as large as that of Da Ivan, it is already a relatively large hydrogen bomb created by humans.
After all, in the past, the nuclear dust caused by excessive hydrogen bombs would have a very serious impact on the environment.
But now, none of this is a problem!
Anyway, the earth is about to disappear. Instead of letting it melt into a lava ball by the sun, it is better to let it exert its last remaining heat!
A few days later.
With a loud bang, the First Laboratory of the People's Union located on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau felt a clear tremor.
"Hiss... Zero, are you sure that such a large equivalent of hydrogen bomb will not affect the mainland sector?"
There was a little fear in Lu Yongchang's eyes.
After all, [Jianmu] is right next to them!
"Professor, please trust my calculations, this will not have much impact."
Zero's virtual image responded calmly.
ps. There should be only two chapters today.
Chapter completed!
