Chapter 289 Venus Environment
However, although the Ming Empire has experienced many failures in the detection of Venus, after more than ten years of hard work, it has gained some understanding of Venus, especially in the space near Venus, because Venus is much closer to the sun than the earth, so The temperature near Venus is naturally higher than that near the Earth, but it is still not as high as the surface temperature of Venus.

In addition, because the rotation speed of Venus is not fast enough, Venus itself has no magnetic field, and the resistance of the solar wind is very weak, so the spacecraft flying to Venus has an electromagnetic shield open throughout the process. In terms of solar wind, if the electromagnetic shield is not turned on, the spacecraft will most likely be paralyzed on the way to Venus.

Although the spaceship can move forward at inertial speed, since all spaceships of the Ming Empire are powered by electricity, that is, driven by plasma thrusters, if the power of the spaceship is damaged on the way, then the propulsion will not work. It is impossible to decelerate or accelerate. The spacecraft can only fly forward at an inertial speed until it passes through the magnetic field of a certain planet and is captured, and then crashes directly on that planet.

This kind of thing is something neither Zhu Lei nor the Ming Empire, nor the staff on the spaceship itself are willing to see. Although the spaceship has been using the electromagnetic shield, it consumes a lot of energy, but compared with safety, this little energy Consumption is nothing.

After the small spaceship arrived at Venus, it did not immediately return to Venus, but actually flew around Venus to collect data on Venus. Although the Ming Empire sent many probes to Venus before, the probes are probes after all. Moreover, the main task of these probes is to collect data on the space area near Venus. The data collection on Venus itself is actually very little, and the data that the exploration spacecraft needs to collect on Venus this time is relatively complete. Data collection began near Venus.

In particular, the collection of overall data on Venus is very important. After all, although Mars may be the first to be transformed by humans this time, it will be Venus' turn later, but the plan has not yet been finalized. The possibility of Venus being transformed by the latest It is also very large, so the carefully collected data should be as detailed as possible, especially the overall data of Venus.

The longer the small spacecraft stays near Venus, the more and more detailed data it collects. Although there has not been much development inside Venus, very detailed data on the size and weight of Venus itself have been collected. .

Venus is the second closest planet to the sun in the solar system. Its distance from the sun is only 0.275 astronomical units. In ancient China, Venus was called Changgeng star, Venus star, Taibai star or Taibai Venus. Nas, Aphrodite in Greek mythology.

The orbital period of Venus is 224.71 days, which is much shorter than that of the Earth.

And Venus is also very bright. After all, as one of the planets closest to the earth in the solar system, people on earth can see it with the naked eye, and its brightness in the night sky is second only to the moon.

Moreover, Venus is a terrestrial planet with a mass similar to that of Earth, so it is sometimes called the sister star of the outer earth.

Moreover, Venus is the only planet in the solar system without a magnetic field. After all, Mars also has a magnetic field when we look for it again, but Venus does not. Moreover, Venus’ orbit is the closest to the prototype among all the planets in the solar system, with the smallest eccentricity. Less than 0.7%.

Moreover, the sizes of Venus and the Earth are very close, with a radius of about 6073 kilometers, which is only 300 kilometers smaller than that of the Earth. It can be said that the volume of the two stars is very similar. The volume of Venus is nearly 0.9 times that of the Earth, and its mass is 4/5 of that of the Earth. The average density is also smaller than that of Earth, although the environments of Venus and Earth are very different.

After all, the surface temperature of Venus is very high and there is no liquid water, coupled with the cruel natural conditions such as extremely high atmospheric pressure and severe hypoxia, so no matter Zhu Lei, his past life or this life, all scientists believe that the possibility of life on Venus is very small.

The highest content in the atmosphere of Venus is carbon dioxide, which accounts for more than 97% of the atmosphere of Venus, so huge corrosive acid rain often falls on Venus.

Therefore, due to the room temperature effect, the surface temperature of Venus is as high as 500 degrees, and the atmospheric pressure is more than 90 times that of the earth.

The rotation direction of Venus is from east to west, so if people stand on Venus, the sun rises from the west and sets from the east.

The rotation date of Venus is 243 Earth days, which means that one day of Venus' rotation is longer than one year. When Venus rotated reversely in Zhu Lei's previous life, most scientists believed that it was caused by a collision with other asteroids. Such.

After all, the retrograde rotation of Venus is very abnormal, and there is another point that the rotation period and orbit of Venus are synchronized, which is very abnormal for the scientists of the Ming Empire.

But after all, in this world, because the scientists of the Ming Empire didn't know enough about Venus, they haven't discovered this yet.

However, due to environmental reasons such as the temperature of Venus, neither the Earth in the previous life nor the Ming Empire in this world have exact information about the internal structure of Venus, but based on the existing data, scientists infer that the structure of Venus should be similar to that of the Earth .

Because the magnetic field of Venus itself is very weak, the solar wind can impact the atmosphere above Venus without hindrance, so Zhu Lei, a scientist in his previous life, thought in the early days that the water resources on Venus should be equivalent to that of the earth, but due to Due to the solar wind, the water vapor on Venus is decomposed into hydrogen and oxygen. However, due to the light weight and small mass of the solar hydrogen, it escapes from the gravitational range of Venus.

There is no oxygen in the atmosphere of Venus, or the oxygen content is very low, so the surface of Venus is very dry. The stones on Venus are harder than those on the earth, which makes it easier to form various rocky wonders.

In addition, according to the information sent back by the probes that the Ming Empire landed on Mars in the past, the magma on Mars contains water, so this data directly proves that Venus may have had the same huge water resources as the earth, but these water resources All evaporated.

In addition, the volcanic activity on Venus is also extremely frequent. In addition to hundreds of large volcanoes, there are more than 10 small volcanoes on the surface of Venus, so the magma ejected from the volcanoes formed a magma river on the surface of Mars. The strongest is more than 7000 kilometers, which is also one of the biggest difficulties that the Ming Empire will face when it wants to transform Venus in the future.
