The Wandering Plan was finally approved by the world, but not because the sun was about to flash, but because it was used to blackmail and stimulate the increasingly slack global economy.
In this special era when we cannot fight, but we still have to live, the powerful countries are trying every means to do various things to redistribute the world's resources and want to control the global distribution power. But which country can
How about longevity? If there were no nuclear weapons or an absolutely safe air defense system, World War III would have started long ago.
Unfortunately, because there are nuclear weapons and there is no absolutely safe air defense system, countries cannot fight wars. Even if they see that other countries have rich wealth, they cannot directly use strong ships and cannons to rob them, and they cannot ask others to cede territory and pay compensation.
So other means can only be used.
But no matter what the purpose is, there are a lot of industries in the rover plan. Once it is advanced, it cannot be stopped and can create a lot of jobs. Because starting from digging the pit, each planetary engine requires a lot of materials and skilled workers. This is not
Simple stacking is a test of the entire industrial industry and the ultimate application of human industry.
And in the application of these technologies, new technologies will emerge.
Engineering companies, design companies, building materials companies...it's like piranhas gathering after smelling blood.
There are only three planetary engines in the first batch, and they were built in the three major countries. They must set an example so that subsequent small countries will follow suit. Of course, there is a lot of wrangling within the US empire. There are various confrontations between the two parties, constant party and government criticism, and criticism by cronies.
, so their country’s planetary engine has not been implemented.
The other two engines completed the site selection very quickly, and then came the land acquisition, relocation, renovation, and cooperation between various departments. Because this project is much more complicated than building a community, the requirements for cement and metal are completely different, and it is very challenging.
Dulan transformed into a construction worker and joined in to participate in the construction of this wonder. The process was full of problems. It was not easy to implement the things on the design drawings. Dulan was worried for mankind. At this speed
, four hundred years is simply not enough to build 10,000 planetary engines.
Because the project is really too big, we must first dig a five-kilometer deep pit and build an underground city. Because once we start wandering, the surface temperature will drop sharply, and even the atmosphere will freeze. We can only hide in
Underground, relying on the earth for insulation.
The first one to start construction is the civil underground city, which will accommodate about 300,000 people. It must have sufficient facilities, including schools, hospitals, police stations, sports grounds, museums, commercial streets, etc.
The construction environment is unprecedentedly difficult. The five-kilometer pit is not something we talk about casually.
Therefore, The Wandering Earth is a romantic science fiction imagination. To implement it step by step is unprecedentedly difficult. It is not just social problems, technical problems, economic problems, and even religious problems. Anyway, this problem, that problem, so Western science fiction
We really can't blame them for building a spaceship and running away, leaving the masses behind, because this is really the lowest cost method.
Although it is difficult to build a spacecraft, in the research institute, the test site, and the workshop, no matter how bad the environment is, it will never be worse than five kilometers underground.
Ventilation alone is a huge project, requiring compressed air to be transported by a compressor, otherwise it will be full of carbon dioxide. Not to mention the various uncertain geological and hydrological environments underground.
Walking out of the research institute, walking out of the workshop, walking into the construction site, facing the mud, facing the construction site that is exhausted every day, and facing all kinds of "unruly people", it is really a splitting headache.
The underground project is too difficult, but it must be done even if it is difficult. This is the first underground city, and there will be ten thousand more in the future. If we cannot overcome it, there is no hope at all.
However, the underground city project is only one of the difficulties. In the future, there will be engines with heavy nuclear fusion technology. To ensure the stability of the engine, in addition to outputting thrust, it must also be able to boil water to generate electricity to provide electricity for the underground city. Therefore, although the engine is one level higher
It is more than 10,000 meters long, but there are also various facilities inside, including not only engines, but also generators and machines that generate heat.
Of course, in order to ensure that the engine does not sink into the ground, the entire 20-kilometer radius of the ground needs to be reinforced with metal.
Anyway, the materials used and the technology are terrifying just thinking about it.
So if humans can really push the earth, it would be a miracle.
Heavy nuclear fusion technology only requires stones to carry out reactions continuously. However, it requires a huge amount of energy to start the engine.
Just like a nuclear bomb, if you want nuclear fission to occur, you first need to detonate a large amount of explosives to stimulate nuclear fission, and then a chain reaction will release the energy of the nuclear bomb. The same is true for hydrogen bombs, which also need a starting energy. The engine naturally
The same is true, and the initial energy of the engine is the nuclear bomb. By detonating the nuclear bomb, the entire heavy-atom nuclear reactor is started. In other words, the engine must be able to withstand a blow from the nuclear bomb.
Therefore, the requirements for materials science are also unprecedentedly high. They must continue to withstand the burning of plasma flow. This kind of material is really amazing.
Anyway, the first engine was manufactured regardless of cost. However, with the advent of heavy nuclear fusion technology, electric energy is no longer a problem. It can provide unlimited power, so it does not matter how energy-intensive the manufacturing of materials is.
In short, the first engine had many problems. After overcoming these problems, and finally wandering, it is estimated that human beings no longer want to have children. In the original work, there are still many people who want to have children through lottery, but if they really become homeless and live in
In a closed underground city, giving birth to a child might not be such a wonderful thing.
Dulan listened to the workers chatting and chatting with the engineers at the construction site. He knew how difficult the entire project was. The budget for this first underground city alone had already exceeded a lot. However, various mechanical design institutes and factories around the world often sent people here.
Looking for business, after all, looking at the world, the planetary engine project is really the biggest money-swallowing machine at present. A steady stream of financial budgets are invested in it, and everyone wants a piece of the pie.
Everyone makes money, so various manufacturers gathered from all over the world and offered to provide technology to help build parts for planetary engines.
At the same time, many people are worried about whether they can get their money back after spending so much money? What is the value of this underground city and planetary engine? Do they still want to fight a nuclear war? It is good as a nuclear shelter, five kilometers underground, and there are
An engine that can withstand nuclear bombs can be used as a command post after a nuclear war.
Not many people really believe that helium flash will happen. The big chess party believes that this is the country preparing for a nuclear war. Once the people across the country can hide, they will not be afraid even if nuclear bombs wipe out the land.
Of course, the real intention is to control distribution and make small countries obedient. If small countries want a share of the pie, they can open schools, learn technology, and then receive language education and technical standards. This can be regarded as writing on the same track, and everyone can communicate with each other.
If our thoughts are integrated, then a community with a shared future for mankind will be formed.
In fact, now it seems that the first planetary engine is a spectacle. The altar was erected, and everyone lined up around the altar. The symbolic significance is far greater than the actual significance.
This is the reason why ancient emperors liked to create spectacles so much. First, they can convey benefits through infrastructure construction. Second, they can monopolize the power to interpret myths through spectacles. Third, they can establish a benefit distribution plan through spectacles.
