Homo sapiens.

You know, when the construction was first started, the floating speed and vibration intensity of the Yungong base were more than ten times more intense than they are now.

It was with so many counterweights that the Yungong base gradually stabilized.

The Homo sapiens company's idea is very simple, that is to use the raw materials from Venus' atmosphere and surface to continuously produce vacuum airships, and then expand the coverage area of ​​the Yungong base until the entire Venus is completely covered.

As long as the atmosphere of Venus can be wrapped, the so-called strong wind will be self-destructing.

The Homo sapiens company will get a large piece of "floating land", and the gravity of Venus is almost the same as that of the earth. There is no need for a pseudo-gravity system, and humans can live on the surface of Venus for a long time.

That's right, the first habitable alien in Homo sapiens' plan is not Mars or Titan, but Venus.

The Science Division has done many simulations, and they found that gravity is the biggest problem for human beings to open up the universe.

If the difference in gravity is too large, and human beings live in this abnormal gravity environment for a long time, irreversible gene mutations will easily occur in future generations.

At that time, the human beings who have been multiplying in aliens for a long time will be reproductively isolated from the human beings on the earth. This is something that Homo sapiens must prevent before it happens.

Therefore, among the other seven planets that can be reached at present, and a large number of large natural satellites, Venus, whose gravity is similar to the height of the earth, is the alien planet that humans can live in for a long time.

Mars and Titan are only suitable as industrial areas, mining areas, and bases for studying extraterrestrial life.

5 Chapter [-] Development Plan ([-])

Galaxy 3, February 5nd.

The earth is still the same, and the extreme weather brought about by global cooling is becoming more and more frequent. Under this huge climate crisis, the free world is still intriguing.

Homo sapiens, which is firmly seated on the Diaoyutai, continues to expand its offshore platforms on the high seas and continue to absorb human resources in eastern Asia.

Unknowingly, the number of employees owned by Homo sapiens has once again broken through a record high, reaching a huge scale of 34 billion.

As the company's workforce grew, management began to plan ahead.

Since Homo sapiens company encourages employees to actively reproduce, the current natural population growth rate of Homo sapiens company was 5.13% last year.

Of course, the reason for such a high natural growth rate is that, on the one hand, employees have no childbirth burden, which has led to three or four children in many families.

On the other hand, the death rate of the population has dropped significantly, and the average life expectancy has reached 107 years.

The combination of the two makes the natural growth rate of Homo sapiens appear a bit high.

In this regard, the management of Homo sapiens company has no idea of ​​suppressing employees’ childbearing. After all, suppressing employees’ childbearing is easy to backfire. Encouraging childbearing is the best choice for Homo sapiens company at present.

As for whether the population will explode because of this.

Homo sapiens doesn't have any worries.

Even if there is no way to develop a livable alien in a short period of time, based on the current resources of the earth, as long as Homo sapiens company allocates it reasonably, let alone feed 34 billion employees, even if the scale is increased to 100 billion, the company can still afford afford.

That being the case, why suppress fertility?

Not only can it not be suppressed, but it must be encouraged to ensure that the natural growth rate of Homo sapiens companies can be maintained at more than 20% for a long time in the next 3 years.

Apparently Homo sapiens management is a bit inflated.

The management generally believes that after a large number of new human employees gradually transform into scientific researchers, the company will completely get rid of the restrictions of the earth in the next 20 years, thus entering the first-level civilization and gradually moving towards the second-level civilization.

Employees of the company with high confidence are generally optimistic about the future development.

This has caused many people to not care about the consequences of population explosion, and Homo sapiens is so confident.

Of course, self-confidence is self-confidence, and they have not lost a penny when it comes to developing living space and investing in technology research and development.

Li Qingye has recently been obsessed with scientific research work, and has not paid much attention to the company's management work. As long as there is no problem with the general direction, he usually will not interfere with the management's thinking.

And the management is also doing its best to develop the company.

For example, this symposium held by the Space Business Department.

Liu Zhifan, the person in charge of the Industrial Management Department, Wang Xinya, the person in charge of the Finance Department, Xiang Jiangmingxuan, the person in charge of the Science Business Department, and several other department heads all appeared at this symposium.

The person in charge of the space business department is Mikoyan. Under the gaze of hundreds of pairs of eyes, he did not have stage fright, but called out a plan and projected it in front of everyone through holographic projection:

"Everyone, the testing work of the Yungong project is very smooth. Judging from the current operating conditions, everything is in line with expectations. We plan to start the second phase of the project..."

"Ahem, Dr. Mikoyan, are you sure that Venus is suitable for human beings to live on it for a long time?" Wang Xin had a suspicious expression on his face.

Dr. Mikoyan nodded: "The Science Division has conducted related experiments at the Yungong base. Some anthropomorphic subjects stayed on it for a maximum of 273 days, and no obvious discomfort or problem was found."

Hearing this, Jiang Mingxuan had no choice but to come out to speak. After all, the scientific research work of the Yungong project was carried out by their Science Division, so he had to answer other people's questions.

Jiang Mingxuan cleared his throat: "Well... We have not found any space sickness in the microgravity space station in the simulation experiments, animal experiments, and humanoid experiments, and Venus is also the closest terrestrial planet in the solar system... ..."

While explaining, he called up some data about Venus.

For example, the surface gravity values ​​​​of the major planets in the solar system are as follows:

Mercury: 3.70 N/kg

Venus: 8.78 N/kg

Earth: 9.80 N/kg

Mars: 3.72 N/kg

Jupiter: 23.12 N/kg

Saturn: 12.50 N/kg

Uranus: 8.70 N/kg

Neptune: 11.40 N/kg

Among them, the Earth, Venus, and Uranus have the closest surface gravity.

However, Uranus is a gaseous planet, and its distance from the earth is much farther than Venus.

Therefore, Venus is more suitable to be the second home of human beings in terms of gravity and distance.

Liu Zhifan did not doubt the research of the Science Division, but he had some doubts about how to transform Venus. After all, he could see a lot of very difficult data from the Venus data provided by Jiang Mingxuan.

For example, the surface temperature is 500 degrees Celsius, the air pressure is 100 times that of the earth's sea level, and 97% of the atmosphere is carbon dioxide, and the rest is mostly sulfur dioxide and sulfur trioxide. In addition to the frequent volcanoes on Venus, this is simply hell.

He asked, "Dr. Mikoyan, how do you plan to overcome the harsh environment of Venus?"

Mikoyan, who had been prepared for a long time, explained to everyone: "This is the core of the second phase of the project, please see..."

The holographic projection lists a large number of conceptual models and diagram data.

Pointing to the Venus model, he said: "Currently, the Yungong base is testing the synthesis process of vacuum carbon spheres. Judging from the test results, the carbon sphere synthesis fungus is very stable, and has not encountered the same problems as the space station and the moon base."

"The atmosphere of Venus is rich in carbon dioxide resources, which is convenient for local materials. In addition, we plan to build a large-scale solar power station in Venus's low-Earth orbit, taking advantage of Venus's proximity to the sun and making full use of its solar energy resources."

Liu Zhifan looked at the large-scale Venus orbiting solar power station project, and rubbed his temples involuntarily: "Is the scale too large?"

Because the scale of the Venus-orbit solar power station planned by the Space Business Department is indeed astonishingly large. Basically, it is to build a large circle of solar panels around the equator in the low-earth orbit of Venus at an altitude of 500 kilometers.

However, Mikoyan shook his head: "Mr. Liu, don't worry, we don't plan to transport materials from the earth, but plan to build solar panels and satellite main equipment at the Yungong base. The earth only needs to provide a small part of precision instruments to Can."

"Is that so? That can be considered." Liu Zhifan nodded.

As long as there is no need to transport such a huge amount of materials from Earth to Venus, then everything is fine.

"Using the orbital solar power station to supply electricity can continuously extract gases such as carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide in the atmosphere of Venus, and we can solve a large part of the raw material problem."

Then Mikoyan continued: "As the scale of the Yungong base continues to expand, the Yungong can basically be stabilized, and then we can use the floating platform to sink to the surface of Venus..."

Wang Xinya asked: "Why not use carbon nanotube cables?"

Jiang Mingxuan explained the situation to her: "Carbon nanotubes cannot withstand high temperatures. The surface of Venus maintains a high temperature of 500 degrees Celsius all year round. Only nano-ceramic coatings and high-temperature-resistant alloy cables can be used."

"I see." Wang Xinya suddenly realized.

Chapter 561 Development Plan ([-])

Dr. Mikoyan called up another virtual model.

"This is a geothermal power generation system, and it is also one of the core equipment for our future development of Venus."

"Ground heat?" Everyone immediately realized.

Venus is indeed very rich in geothermal energy. The temperature on the surface is 500 degrees Celsius. In addition to those volcanic areas, this is a good deal.

Seeing that everyone understood, Dr. Mikoyan continued: "People may think that the high temperature on the surface of Venus is caused by being too close to the sun. In fact, this is a wrong view."

"The surface temperature of Mercury, which is closer to the sun, is not as high as that of Venus. The high temperature of the surface of Venus has little to do with the intensity of solar radiation. The reason for this is the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of Venus."

"The dense atmosphere of Venus reflects 60% to 70% of the heat energy of the sun's radiation back to outer space, and the dense carbon dioxide forms a huge insulation layer, preventing the geothermal energy of Venus from radiating outwards, and accumulates on the surface over time. Huge amount of heat."

Dr. Mikoyan paused for everyone to clear their minds.

After a while, he went on to describe the next step in the development plan:

"We can use geothermal power stations to continuously extract the geothermal energy of Venus, and at the same time gradually reduce the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of Venus, so that the surface temperature will gradually drop, and prepare for the large-scale development of minerals on the surface of Venus in the future."

When everyone heard the words, they began to discuss in whispers.

Judging from this development plan, it is obvious that the scale is very large.

Whether it is an orbital solar power station, Yungong itself, or a geothermal power station, they are all big projects.

And these big projects are just sub-projects of the Venus development plan, which shows that their scale is simply beyond imagination.

One of the branch managers raised his hand: "Dr. Mikoyan, you have extracted carbon dioxide from the atmosphere of Venus on a large scale, and the concentration of the atmosphere will drop. Will it eventually lead to a drop in the buoyancy of the airship?"

Mikoyan nodded: "It is indeed possible, but we have already planned it, so there is no need to worry about it in a short period of time. We can allow the cloud palace to descend gradually, and we can also use oxygen and nitrogen supplements."

"..."

Many people raised their own questions and opinions, and Mi Gaoyang and Jiang Mingxuan answered them one by one.

For example, why not establish a permanent city on the surface of Venus, the reason is gravity.

The stratum on the surface of a planet does not have the greatest gravity. In fact, the region with the greatest gravity is the atmosphere of the planet.

Because the farther the radius from the center of the earth is, and inside the atmosphere, the gravity is often the greatest.

This is also the reason why the Yungong project is built at the high altitude of Venus. The purpose is to make the gravity as close as possible to the gravity of the earth's surface.

If you want to increase the gravity of the Venusian living area in the future, the best way is to continue to develop to high altitudes.

Of course, there is actually another way to fundamentally solve the problem of gravity difference, which is to pull a dozen large rocky asteroids from the asteroid belt to directly increase the overall mass and layer radius of Venus.

The problem is that the risk of this method is very high, and the operation difficulty is also extremely troublesome.

After all, the current orbits of the major planets in the solar system are closely related to the mass of the planets.

If Homo sapiens has just added weight to Venus with its front legs, Venus with its back legs will change its revolution orbit and speed, then there will be big troubles.

This is something that will affect the whole body.

Mikoyan and others dare not increase the weight of Venus, because they are worried that the stable operating system of the solar system for hundreds of millions of years will be destroyed.

Therefore, it is definitely forbidden to perform weight gain surgery on the planet.

……

After more than a week of discussion, Dr. Mikoyan finally convinced everyone and readjusted part of the Venus development plan.

Then Li Qingye in the African Pangu world received this freshly baked plan.

He looked at Mikoyang who flew over in person, and the thick planning book in his hand, calmed down, and carefully flipped through the contents of each page.

Apparently Dr. Mikoyan and the Space Division came prepared.

The plan is well-organized, and a 10-phase project schedule has been drawn up. It is planned to complete the entire Venus development plan 10 years before Xinghe.

The Science Division also cooperates with the Space Division to launch a 7-year human Venus survival experiment on Venus.

Li Qingye read the whole content of the planning book after reading it for more than 20 minutes, so he put the planning book aside:

"Doctor, since the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Finance have evaluated and agreed to your Venus development plan, I don't have too many opinions. I just hope that you can seriously treat the matter of human beings living on Venus for a long time. If you find any problems, you must report to them in time. I report."

Dr. Mikoyan nodded: "Please rest assured, Mr. Chairman, I have discussed with the Science Business Department, and will try my best to ensure that the personnel participating in the experiment pass the experimental test safely."

"Well, the company's employees are very precious. It is better to spend more money on experiments than to hurt manpower." Li Qingye sighed.

Dr. Mikoyan quickly said: "Mr. Chairman cares about the health of employees, I understand very well."

Suddenly Li Qingye thought of something: "By the way, doctor, how is the investigation of life in the atmosphere of Venus? Have you found anything?"

Dr. Mikoyan was taken aback for a moment, and then explained.

At present, Homo sapiens does have several laboratories dedicated to investigating life on Venus at the Yungong base of Venus.
