Interstellar Industrial Age

In the empty void of the solar system, a bright firefly is slowly moving forward in the void. This firefly is the 'Han Wu Dadi' spacecraft.

Its speed at this time has exceeded 200 kilometers per second, and the blazing white tail flame spewing from its tail is already dozens of kilometers long. It looks like a comet with a long tail, and it seems to be a dark void. Among them has been Firefly.

Although the speed is already very fast, in the vast void of the universe, it seems to be very slow, very slow, as slow as a snail, and even seems to have been at a point without any movement,

The universe is really vast, and a small solar system is already huge and huge for human beings.

After more than ten days of voyage, the 'Han Wu Da Di' reached the asteroid belt, began to decelerate continuously, and at the same time continued to fly in the direction of Ceres.

Ceres is the smallest and only dwarf planet in the asteroid belt in the solar system. It was discovered in 1801 by the Italian Tianjia Piazzi.

In order to transform Mars, scientists from Galaxy Technology Group have dispatched spacecraft to conduct a detailed investigation of Ceres in advance.

Ceres is not just a rocky planet, it also has a lot of water on it, definitely the most needed thing to transform Mars.

Regarding the formation of Ceres, scientists also speculate that it is inextricably linked with the formation of the asteroid belt. In the early days of the solar system, there was a planet in the asteroid belt with a mass about the size of the Earth.

It’s just that this planet was later torn apart by the dual power of Jupiter and the sun, so there was an asteroid belt, of which Ceres was the most massive piece.

A few days later, the 'Hanwu Dadi' spacecraft was getting closer and closer to Ceres, and the scientists and engineers on the spacecraft began to become extremely busy.

Astronomical scientists are constantly calculating the orbits of the major planets in the solar system, the most important of which are naturally the orbits of Mars and Earth.

This time, we are going to hit Mars with Ceres. Without calculating the position of Mars, it is naturally impossible to hit it accurately. As for calculating the position of the earth, it is to avoid the earth as much as possible. Even if there is a problem at that time, it will not be any threat to the earth.

Ceres is really too big, it is not an ordinary celestial body, it has been out of the category of asteroids, if once Ceres will hit the earth, even if there are all kinds of weapons, it is difficult for the earth to say that Ceres will be destroyed. The impact on the earth is completely eliminated.

If one is not careful, it will even directly destroy everything on the earth, so it is necessary to avoid hitting the earth due to mistakes as much as possible.

By accurately calculating the orbits of Mars and Earth, scientists can accurately calculate everything, at what angle, at what time, where to hit, etc. These are all rigorous calculations that need to be carried out by computers, not random collisions of.

As for the scientists and engineers on the spacecraft, they are conducting the final inspection and evaluation of the spacecraft to ensure that all functions on the spacecraft are normal and in perfect condition, and there will be no problems when consuming Ceres.

All kinds of probes, satellites, etc. began to be spread on Ceres at no cost, and there were also various monitors in the surrounding void to control everything.

Here is the control and command center of the 'Hanwu Emperor' spacecraft, Wu Renjie, Liao Fanghong, Long Zhankong and Huang Zhibin of the Institute of Astronomy and Astronomy of the Galaxy Science Research Institute, the general design of the 'Hanwu Emperor' spacecraft Master Yang Hongyan, Zhang Jian and others were also present.

Can we really drain Ceres?

Liao Fanghong looked at the huge planet in front of him. It is spherical as a whole, which means that its mass is very large. You must know that asteroids are irregular in shape.

The celestial bodies in the universe, the greater the mass of the celestial bodies, the more perfect a sphere it presents, all of which are due to the huge influence of the static equilibrium of fluids.

Asteroids have small masses, so they have different shapes, and there are few spherical shapes. The mass of Ceres has reached a certain level, and the overall appearance is a spherical shape.

Liao Fanghong has very rich experience in mining asteroids, and has traveled to and from the asteroid belt many times to mine news, so he knows very well how huge the mass of this Ceres is.

Facing such a huge Ceres, even though he knew that the 'Hanwu Emperor' spacecraft was also very powerful, he still couldn't help but doubt it.

Ceres is a dwarf planet, and its mass is indeed very large. It is not easy to consume it. If you just rely on the power of this spacecraft, it is naturally not enough.

But in the interstellar universe, the most powerful force is the power of stars, the power of black holes.

The black hole at the center of the Milky Way has an unparalleled power that dominates the entire galaxy; the sun at the center of the solar system, it also has a power that dominates everything in the entire solar system.

To consume Ceres, we must rely on the power of the sun.

Long Zhankong looked at the Ceres star in front of him, but he was very confident. As a cosmic astronomy scientist, he had calculated countless times and used quantum computers to perform countless simulation operations.

With the powerful power of the 'Hanwu Dadi' spacecraft, coupled with the power of the sun, it is enough to consume Ceres, change its trajectory, and finally collide with Mars.

We are not dragging Ceres by force, but using the power of the spacecraft to change the original orbit of Ceres a little bit, so that its new orbit merges with the orbit of Mars, and naturally consumes Ceres. The purpose of hitting Mars.

In the whole process, what we ultimately want to use is the power of the sun, and the power of the spacecraft is just an auxiliary power.

Huang Zhibin also nodded and explained that this is actually the same as the principle of the Earth's escape from the solar system in the Three-Body Problem. They use a little force to change the orbit of the Earth, and ultimately rely on the power of the sun to achieve the movement of celestial bodies.

Of course, this little power is still a very huge power for human beings. After all, the mass of a planet is really too great, and it is definitely not an easy thing to change its trajectory.
