Ye Han was shocked. The extreme environment of Mercury could be used as a hell without a set. How could there be conditions for colonization?
He couldn't figure out how Xiao Yuan and Chi Wei knew about this plan that must be classified as confidential.
But to Ye Han's surprise, this news was not a secret at all. The official attitude was very strange, neither admitting nor denying it, which seemed to be a cover-up.
Ye Han felt that this news might have been leaked by Beidu on purpose to draw the Al Qaeda group's attention to Mercury, or it might be the opposite, a smoke bomb released by the Yankees to deliberately mislead Beidu.
Because the news that there is water at the poles of Mercury was first released by the Americans.
However, although Mercury's environment is relatively harsh, Mercury is composed of 70% metal and 30% silicate, and its metal mineral content is the highest in the solar system.
According to the existing theory of galaxy formation, when galaxies are formed, the heavier the elements, the easier it is for the heavier elements to gather towards the center of the galaxy. According to this theory, Mercury must have huge reserves of uranium ore, which can not only make nuclear weapons, but also
An important raw material for the nuclear industry, it is also the manufacturing material for depleted uranium bombs, which has many uses.
Resources on Earth are limited. If an industrial base can be built on Mercury, mining Mercury uranium ore seems to be a good choice.
In addition to Beiyuezhou's fruitful infrastructure construction, its military construction is equally extraordinary.
At present, the military has two space bases. One is the Yuegong Base, which orbits the moon and is the home port of the Beiyuezhou Fleet. The second is the Tiangong Base, which was expanded from the Tiangong and is an intermediate station for manned spacecraft to fly to the moon.
The two military ports each have a space fleet stationed there, which are two major nodes in China's space defense system.
In addition, there is a space city under construction near the moon.
The Moon Palace and the Heavenly Palace are pure military bases, while Space City is just the opposite, a space city used to colonize humans.
Unfortunately, the changes in Europa forced Beiyuezhou to concentrate its resources on the military industry. The construction of the space city had just begun and had to be stopped. It is still unknown when construction can be restarted.
Mentioning Europa, Ye Han remembered the failed second expedition and immediately asked about the situation of aliens and Europa.
Xiao Chi and Xiao Chi were always talkative, but now they started chatting even more.
There is nothing much to say about aliens. The aliens occupying Ganymede and Callisto are working hard and have regained a foothold. The environment of the two satellites is changing with each passing day, and the harsh environment is evolving to a livable level.
Europa, which is full of water, was abandoned by aliens to a limited extent. It is still unknown whether there are any follow-up plans.
Given the current situation, it won't be long before aliens turn Ganymede and Callisto into their new homes.
The base group originally planned to form an expeditionary force to conquer Jupiter and completely eliminate the aliens occupying the magpie's nest. However, Europa was crossing the asteroid belt. Worried that Europa would hit the earth, the international expedition fleet gave up the plan to expedition to Jupiter and changed to
Use all your strength to intercept Europa.
The International Expeditionary Fleet is currently active in the asteroid belt, but so far there is no sign of blocking Europa. Several countries, including China, have expressed doubts about whether the international fleet can block Europa.
Beidu has publicly stated that Europa is not a matter of any country or group of countries, but the common enemy of all mankind. It is said that Beidu is considering forming a third fleet to go to the asteroid belt to perform interception missions, but no action has been taken. I don’t know what the rumor is.
True or false.
There is also news that the North Capital has not taken any action yet and cannot find weapons that can deal with Europa.
The highest-yield nuclear bomb in human history is only 100 million tons. The impact energy of the Penglai is equivalent to 300 million tons. It is not impossible to create higher-yield nuclear weapons, but the technical difficulty is not much lower. Instead of spending energy on nuclear weapons
, it is better to get a few large iron weights with high enough mass, and install them with nuclear power engines to hit Europa, which may have some extraordinary effects.
This is what the international expeditionary fleet did in the asteroid belt. Before the fleet set off, the base group placed an additional order for nuclear power engines and used these nuclear power engines to build two engineering ships.
The tail of this thing is densely covered with engines. It is obviously just a small spacecraft with a displacement of several thousand tons. The engines on the ship are enough to propel a 100,000-ton space battleship!
The front end of the engineering ship is an extremely large metal shovel, so it is also called a space bulldozer.
And the method of using this kind of engineering ship is to find an asteroid of suitable mass, use the bulldozer on the front end of the battleship to push it on the asteroid, push the asteroid at full speed, and throw the asteroid into the planned orbit of Jupiter.
on a zero-opposition collision with Jupiter.
Well, the method of use is the same as that of a bulldozer.
Unfortunately, suitable asteroids are not so easy to find. The international fleet has only carried out three collisions, one of which failed and two were successful. The two successful collisions did not cause any damage to Io because the asteroid has not yet touched Io.
The edge was broken into pieces by the thin light of the alien fleet into pieces that could not threaten Europa.
This result made the International Expeditionary Fleet extremely distressed, so it temporarily stopped the operation of the engineering ship and began to seriously consider the possibility of metal weight collision.
With the current industrial capabilities of the moon, it is not easy to gather hundreds of thousands of tons of metal, but it is not much difficult. If Io can be completely defeated, let alone hundreds of thousands of tons of metal, even millions of tons will be worth it.
Already.
The only problem is that the international base does not have such a high production capacity and must rely on Beiyuezhou's smelting capabilities to collect so much metal. This also makes the base group very distressed.
Americans firmly believe that thin light, like laser, is an energy weapon that humans have not yet mastered. There must be some kind of special material that can withstand the cutting of thin light, at least to offset the power of thin light to a certain extent.
But if we don’t even know what fine light is, how can we know which materials are effective? We only know that except for metals with dense texture, other materials are difficult to withstand fine light cutting.
Ye Han didn't know yet that while he and Xiao Chi were talking, the negotiation team sent by the Yankees had arrived in Beidu and held a series of meetings with Beidu on the issue of the Qiongzhou launch site.
The Yankees became desperate and planned to use the Qiongzhou launch site to send up to 100,000 tons of depleted uranium into space to create a giant armor-piercing core with an aspect ratio of more than 30, and install a nuclear core on this super core.
Power engine, use this thing to hit Europa and eliminate the threat of Europa at once.
A very whimsical plan, but using 100,000 tons of depleted uranium to hit Europa... seems to have a high possibility of success!
