"This is a geothermal power generation system and one of the core equipment for our future development of Venus."
"Geothermia?" Everyone reacted immediately.
Venus is indeed very rich in geothermal energy. The temperature on the surface is 500 degrees Celsius. With those volcanic areas, there is a lucrative business.
Seeing everyone's understanding, Dr. Mikoyan continued: "Everyone may think that the high temperature on the surface of Venus is caused by being too close to the sun. In fact, this is a wrong view."
"Mercury, which is closer to the sun, has a surface temperature not as high as Venus. The high temperature on the surface of Venus has little to do with the intensity of solar radiation. The reason for this is the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of Venus."
"The dense atmosphere of Venus allows 60% to 70% of the heat energy radiated by the sun to be reflected back to outer space, and the dense carbon dioxide forms a huge insulation layer, preventing Venus's geothermal energy from radiating outward, and then accumulates on the surface over time.
Huge thermal energy.”
Dr. Mikoyan paused to let everyone clear their thoughts.
After a while, he continued to describe the next step of the development plan:
"We can use geothermal power stations to continuously extract Venus's geothermal energy, and at the same time gradually reduce the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of Venus, gradually reducing the surface temperature, and preparing for the large-scale development of minerals on the surface of Venus in the future."
After everyone heard this, they started discussing among themselves.
Judging from this development plan, it is obvious that the scale is very large.
Whether it is the orbiting solar power station, the Cloud Palace itself, or the geothermal power station, they are all big projects.
And these large projects are only sub-projects of the Venus development plan, which shows that their scale is simply beyond imagination.
One of the branch managers raised his hand: "Dr. Mikoyan, if you extract carbon dioxide from the atmosphere of Venus on a large scale, will the concentration of the atmosphere decrease and the buoyancy of the airship decrease in the end?"
Mikoyan nodded: "This is indeed possible, but we have already planned it. There is no need to worry in the short term. We can allow the Cloud Palace to gradually descend, and we can also use oxygen and nitrogen to supplement it."
"..."
Many people raised their own questions and opinions, and Mikoyang and Jiang Mingxuan also answered them one by one.
For example, why not build a permanent city on the surface of Venus? The reason is gravity.
In the stratum on the surface of a planet, gravity is not the greatest. In fact, the area with the greatest gravity is the atmosphere of the planet.
Because the farther away from the earth's center radius and inside the atmosphere, the gravity is often the greatest.
This is also the reason why the Yun Palace project is built high in the sky of Venus. The purpose is to make the gravity as close as possible to the gravity of the earth's surface.
If we want to increase the gravity of the living area of Venus in the future, the best way is to continue to develop to high altitudes.
Of course, there is actually another way to fundamentally solve the problem of gravity difference, which is to pull more than a dozen large rocky asteroids from the asteroid belt to directly increase the overall mass and formation radius of Venus.
The problem is that the risk of this method is very high, and the operation difficulty is also extremely troublesome.
After all, the current orbits of the major planets in the solar system are closely related to the mass of the planets.
If the Homo sapiens company just adds weight to Venus with its front legs, and Venus changes its orbit and speed with its rear legs, then the trouble will be big.
This is something that will affect the whole body.
Mikoyan and others did not dare to add weight to Venus because they were worried that the stable operation system of the solar system for hundreds of millions of years would be destroyed.
Therefore, performing weight gain surgery on the planet is definitely prohibited.
…
After more than a week of discussions, Dr. Mikoyan finally convinced everyone and readjusted part of the Venus development plan.
Then Li Qingye, who was in the African Pangea world, received this fresh plan.
He looked at Mikoyang who flew over in person and the thick planning book in his hand. He calmed down and carefully read the contents of each page.
Obviously Dr. Mikoyan and the Space Division are well prepared.
The plan was written in a clear and organized manner, and a 10-phase project schedule was drawn up. It was planned to complete the entire Venus development plan before Galaxy 10.
The Science Division also cooperated with the Space Division to launch a seven-year human Venus survival experiment on Venus.
Li Qingye read it for more than twenty minutes before he finished reading the entire content of the planning book. He then put the planning book aside:
"Doctor, since the Ministry of Industry and Finance have evaluated and agreed to your Venus development plan, I don't have much opinion. I just hope that you can treat the matter of humans living on Venus for a long time with caution. If you find any problems, you must report them in time.
I'll report."
Dr. Mikoyan nodded: "Mr. Chairman, please rest assured that I have discussed with the Science Division and will try our best to ensure that the personnel participating in the experiment pass the experimental test safely."
"Well, the company's employees are very valuable. It is better to waste money and resources on experiments than to lose manpower." Li Qingye sighed endlessly.
Dr. Mikoyan quickly said: "I understand very well that Mr. Chairman cares about the health of his employees."
Suddenly Li Qingye remembered something: "By the way, doctor, how is the investigation of life in the atmosphere of Venus? Have you discovered anything?"
Dr. Mikoyan was stunned and then explained.
At present, Homo Sapien Company has several laboratories specializing in investigating life on Venus at its Cloud Palace base on Venus.
However, the investigation progressed very quickly.
Because the Yunggong base is located in the upper atmosphere of Venus, several types of microorganisms have indeed been discovered, and quite a few indirect compounds that exist for life have also been discovered.
Dr. Mikoyan quickly called up relevant papers and explained to him: "Chairman, these are research reports on planktonic microorganisms discovered in the atmosphere of Venus."
Li Qingye controlled the holographic projection and quickly browsed through the above papers.
"It seems that the Science Division has already formulated a research project, so I won't interfere."
"Chairman, in fact, Pangu Project is not bad. After all, a relatively stable small ecosystem has been created in it. Our Space Division also needs the talent support of Pangu Project."
Li Qingye shook his head: "The Pangu Project cannot be made public for the time being. Please apply to the Science Division for support from other laboratories!"
Mikoyan nodded helplessly, he actually didn't have much hope.
After all, the Pangu Project is as important within the Homo Sapiens Company as the new controllable nuclear fusion research projects and the Very Large Particle Collider.
It's just that the focus of these projects is different.
With the vigorous advancement of Pangu Project, many useful inventions and discoveries are constantly emerging.
If some researchers from the Pangu Project can be seconded to invest in research projects on life in the atmosphere of Venus, research on these projects may be accelerated.
But Li Qingye would not do this. After all, the life research project on Venus is not as important as the Pangu project.
He talked with Dr. Mikoyan and others for more than an hour and then dismissed them.
Then he checked some recent reports, many of which were about some cool operations in the free world. Obviously, when people are forced to be anxious, it is easier to stimulate their hidden potential.
But Li Qingye didn't pay too much attention to this, he was still more concerned about technology research and development.
