The meeting on transforming Mars has been going on for more than a month. Scientists have been discussing various plans, proposing one plan and rejecting each plan.
The quantum computers of the Galaxy Science Institute have become extremely busy. Each plan needs to be calculated by the computer to obtain more accurate data, and to simulate the process of Mars transformation through computers, thereby judging the feasibility of Mars transformation.
.
In the end, scientists slowly came to the conclusion that the only feasible solution now is to use asteroids to impact Mars to transform Mars.
The mass of Mars is too small and the internal pressure is not enough. If the core wants to be activated again, it must increase its mass. The greater the mass, the greater the pressure inside the planet, thereby reactivating the core of Mars. This is the most critical
step.
Only when the core of Mars is completely reactivated and renewed can Mars form a magnetic field and retain the atmosphere of Mars. Otherwise, no matter how many gaseous asteroids are dropped on Mars, Mars will not be able to retain it.
atmosphere.
Moreover, for a planet without magnetic field protection, various rays from the universe, ultraviolet rays from the sun, etc. will cause fatal harm to life on the planet.
The first step is to increase the mass of Mars and completely activate the core of Mars.
According to the data and information collected by the Kuafu spacecraft, the core of Mars has not been completely extinguished and cooled. It only needs to add a certain mass to it, and it can be completely activated again. This step is not difficult, but
It's not easy to do it.
The mass of Mars is much smaller than that of the Earth, but compared with asteroids, it is definitely a behemoth. If you want to increase the mass of Mars, the mass required will be very huge, which is definitely a very huge project.
The second step is to add water to Mars. Life requires water, at least for life on Earth. Without water, everything is empty talk.
Mars itself has very little water, so asteroids containing a large amount of water need to be mined from the asteroid belt and the satellites of Jupiter to impact Mars to add water to Mars and create the possibility for the survival of life.
Scientists also speculate that there used to be a lot of water on Mars, but due to the disappearance of the Martian magnetic field, the water on Mars slowly turned into water vapor, and most of it eventually escaped into space.
The third step is to adjust the atmosphere of Mars. We still rely on asteroids containing a large amount of gas to complete this step. The atmosphere of Mars is too thin to protect the organisms on Mars, and the oxygen content is too low, making it simply unsuitable for humans.
Survive.
These three are the main steps. The first step is the most critical. Only after the core of Mars is completely stimulated and Mars regains its magnetic field, the second and third steps can be carried out.
The core of transforming Mars is achieved by using asteroids to impact Mars. No matter which step it is, everything needs to be completed by asteroids.
"This is simply a bottomless pit. Even if our company is sold, we will never be able to complete this project!"
Here at the Institute of Science, the quantum computer was doing crazy calculations, and finally a huge number appeared. When he saw this number, Liu Peiqiang couldn't help but scream.
This time the computer is not calculating the feasibility of Mars transformation, but the calculation of the funds required to transform Mars, 1 billion Chinese dollars. This is only the first step. The funds required to increase the mass of Mars are still calculated conservatively by the computer.
The data comes out.
Galaxy Technology Group is now the most valuable company on earth. Only Qin Yi himself knows how profitable Galaxy Technology Group is.
You must know that all lunar mining companies on the moon can have a market value of 30 trillion. Galaxy Mining Group, a subsidiary of Galaxy Technology Group, is the largest mining group on the moon.
This is just a subsidiary of Galaxy Technology Group. The value of the entire Galaxy Technology Group is simply impossible to estimate.
But when Liu Peiqiang saw the figure calculated by the computer, he couldn't help but scream out. Even selling Galaxy Technology Group was not enough.
This number is so huge that it makes people feel desperate. One hundred billion Chinese dollars is only the first step. To complete the entire transformation plan to transform Mars, and to see Mars turn into a life planet suitable for human habitation, there is still a long way to go.
I don’t know how many billions it will cost.
"If we can spend 1 billion to transform Mars, it will be worthwhile. After all, a living planet is priceless. Just be afraid, no matter how much money is spent, there is no way to transform it."
Lu Qingwei, who has never been serious, couldn't help but said seriously, this number is too huge. You have to remember that there are only a few billion people in the world, which means everyone has to pay tens of millions of Chinese dollars to do it. But
How can there be so much money on earth?
If everyone had tens of millions, the money would be worthless.
"According to the current value of asteroids, this 100-million-ton asteroid is worth at least hundreds of billions. This 1 billion in funds can only add 100,000 asteroids to Mars, which is not enough.
With a mass of 10 trillion tons, this mass is simply insignificant compared to Mars."
"I even suspect that this 1 billion yuan of funds is simply not enough, far from enough."
Liu Peiqiang did some simple calculations, but couldn't help but shake his head.
"We can't calculate it this way. If we transform Mars, any asteroid can be used, including asteroids that do not contain metal and have little value. These asteroids are huge in number and have a large mass. Asteroids of 100 million tons can be used.
At most it’s worth 10 billion.”
"And as more and more people mine asteroids, mining asteroids will become saturated in the future. By then, asteroids will not be as valuable as they are now."
"What's more, we built this spaceship ourselves. As our technology becomes more and more advanced, the cost of mining asteroids will become lower and lower in the future. We can mine large-mass asteroids ourselves. In fact, it will also cost a lot of money."
Not much money."
Qin Yi on the side seemed very calm and was not frightened by this terrifying number.
In the Science and Technology Tower, we have seen a lot of alien civilizations transforming planets. This number seems scary, but in fact, with the advancement of technology and the development of civilization, transforming a planet does not cost much.
"My boss, it doesn't cost much. You are the only one on the entire planet who can say such a thing."
"Even if we can't spend a huge amount of 1 trillion, at least these hundreds of billions are needed. Such a huge amount of money is a huge number for the entire earth, not to mention our company.
.”
When Liu Peiqiang heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said.
Only then did he remember that Qin Yi, the big boss, once he decided to do something, he would not care how much money it cost. Anyway, he was rich and could rival the country.
"One million billion seems like a lot, but the process of transforming Mars will definitely be very long. It will not happen overnight. I estimate that it will not take more than a few decades to completely transform Mars."
"In a few decades, even hundreds of billions will be nothing to us. What's more, the entire earth is developing towards interstellar space, and the wealth created in the future will increase exponentially."
"Just like the wealth and knowledge created by our earth now is more than the total in history, once the earth enters the interstellar space age, it will once again usher in a big explosion of wealth and a big explosion of knowledge."
Qin Yi smiled and said that he was very confident in transforming Mars, and he also had a longer-term view and saw future development and changes.
"We occupy Mars now, and no one else will have a share in the future. Anyway, there is plenty of time. We can slowly transform it, and then we can own a living planet by ourselves."
"The cost of transformation calculated now, the bigger the number, the better. When other countries are invited to transform Mars, if they can't provide the funds, then it's not our fault. Whoever transforms Mars will naturally own it."
"A living planet is priceless and cannot be measured with money."
Qin Yi seemed to have something in his words and already had his own plan in mind.
"Lin Fang, help me make an appointment with Li Jun and Zhao Guoliang, saying that we will discuss the transformation of Mars together, and also sort out the relevant information, especially the cost of this transformation."
