Chapter 1402 The Second Sun that Shines on the World
"Make another sun?!" Chen Tie looked at Chen Xiang in disbelief. He felt that Chen Xiang was talking nonsense. Because this thing is almost impossible to do, what is the concept of the sun? That is the core of the star system where the earth is located. The earth exists because of the sun. A planet without stars is almost dead, and no life can survive.
Although the current technology is very advanced, it has reached a level that people on earth could not believe ten years ago. But Chen Tie still doesn't think that humans can create a sun.
Chen Xiang was a little annoyed by Chen Tie's undisguised expression of disbelief. He had clearly told him the truth, but he still had a look of complete disbelief. Chen Xiang couldn't help but said: "The sun I'm talking about is not the kind of sun you think!"
"That kind?" Chen Tie didn't know that the sun could have other forms.
"Actually, the sun I'm talking about can actually be understood as a mirror." Because Chen Xiang didn't want his cousin to look at him with that liar's eyes, he couldn't help but advance the news that should be announced tomorrow. Speak up.
"Mirror? Reflect the sun?" Chen Tie's brain turned quickly, and he instantly thought of the meaning of comparing the mirror to the sun.
"Yes! That's it. But this mirror will be so huge that everyone will be amazed!" Chen Xiang drank the beer in front of him: "It is as big as fifty Huaihai! In orbit, avoiding the position of the space elevator. It collects and reflects sunlight, at the height of geosynchronous orbit. A huge mirror with the size of fifty BJs, it will scatter the energy that is not collected and wasted in the universe Gather them up. Then reflect back to Earth together!"
"This is what I call the second sun! It is based on the new nano-materials researched by Dr. Liang Feifei. And it has been financed by the Stark Industries Group. Now it has obtained the approval of the Earth Federation and is ready to start a big project. Oh , No. In terms of pure engineering, it’s actually not that big. Even though it’s a super mirror with the size of fifty BJs, the main components have already been manufactured on the earth. Now the raw materials delivered only need to be in space Assembly is expected to take only three months."
"Is this mirror used to charge solar energy? But now there are new energy sources. Solar energy is not cost-effective." Solar energy is the only use that Chen Tie can think of.
"No, no, no!" Chen Xiang shook his head like a rattle: "At first I thought the same as you, thinking that all this was for solar energy or something. Later I found that my thinking was too narrow. In fact, scientists We want to study this artificial sun not for solar energy at all. They are for regulating the climate of the earth!"
"Adjust the Earth's climate?" Chen Tie was a little puzzled: "Can reflecting sunlight regulate the climate?"
"The artificial sun can adjust the climate in various ways. Change the thermal balance of the atmosphere, increase the evaporation of the ocean, or use various other methods. There are many methods that I can't explain at all. Scientists have used various complex calculations and establishments. Mathematical models, they can manipulate this new sun to carry out a major transformation of the earth!" Chen Xiang said, his eyes lit up.
It was a radiance of faith, a radiance of unwavering faith.
"We human beings ask too much from the earth, and nature is destroyed by us too much. Countless forests have become deserts, and countless glaciers have melted into seawater. Many animals have lost their lives because of the destruction of the ecological environment. Endangered or already extinct. We owe the planet too much."
"This new sun will completely change the earth's climate through the calculations of scientists. It will revive the damaged environment and make the place that was originally a desert behind the rainforest glow with green vitality again. Remember our hometown? ?” Chen Xiang looked at Chen Tie and asked.
Chen Tie nodded: "I remember. What's wrong?"
"Our hometown is not only poor but also lacks water all the year round. With this new sun, it can make our hometown return to what it was a thousand years ago. At that time, it was once as beautiful as a water town in the south of the Yangtze River." Chen Xiang clenched his fists: "I will work hard to build such a sun!"
Chen Tie looked at his cousin, the two met in space, and at the same time they also had their own beliefs. Whether it's building a space elevator or building an artificial sun. They all feel that they have a historical responsibility on their shoulders. Even if you are just a screw on this high-speed train, you have to be your own role.
Chen Tie watched the press conference the next day. The press conference was released by Dr. Liang Feifei, who has flourished in the past two years, and his project is supported by the Horizon Foundation. The press conference is indeed what my cousin said, it will be a huge invention that will change the world. It was not a secret to high-level people, but it was the first time for many civilians to know the news. There will be two suns rising on the earth in the future!
Two brothers, one is laying a space elevator, and the other is setting up a new sun in space every day. At an altitude of 36,000 kilometers from the surface of the earth, the first thing to be made is the skeleton mechanism. Structures already fabricated on Earth are transported to space and assembled and welded. Then, pieces of nano-coating materials are transported.
The price of these nano-coating materials is equivalent to the equivalent weight of gold! This is a piece of gold that can cover the size of fifty Huaihai cities! They refract the brilliance of the sun and emit the same color as the sun, they are more dazzling than gold!
Just one piece at first, and then more and more. So much so that looking out from the sky city, it seems to be able to see a golden ocean suspended in space. Sky City also provides protection for the new sun, shooting down any meteorites that would fly towards it.
However, Chen Tie felt very sorry, because he could not see the day when the project was completed with his own eyes. He has to go back to Earth because he is getting married. And the girl named Star. The two met and got acquainted in space, both loved the same job, and were equally moved by the magnificence of space. I also lament the beauty of the earth and the sun.
"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if we don't see our completion here. You can go and see it on the earth. It's just right when you get married. Remember to go to Xi'an. The first ray of the earth's sun will rise there!" Take Chen Xiang According to the instructions, Chen Tie and Lin Xingxing returned to Earth in the Ark spaceship.
After getting used to space, the noise and bustle of the earth made the two feel uncomfortable. Especially the matter of marriage is very noisy, and the two of them don't want to buy a house on Earth at all. They want to live in a space station in space. But this is a bit difficult, the current sky city does not have a resident population indicator. Maybe in the future, but not now.
After the cumbersome wedding, and both of them felt that it was meaningless to buy an earth property to comfort Lin Xingxing's parents. The two arrived in Xi'an during the final break.
Today's Xi'an has changed a lot, the old city and the ancient city wall of the Ming Dynasty are still there. But new superstructures are popping up. Intelligent suspended vehicles have become the standard configuration of traffic, and the traffic pressure has been released to the greatest extent. The traffic jams in Xi'an are no longer there. Both Chen Tie and Lin Xingxing came to Xi'an for the first time. They visited Huimin Street and ate Roujiamo and various special snacks.
After playing in Xi'an all day, they came to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda Square in Xi'an at nightfall. This is a landmark building in Xi'an, not only the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, but also a statue of Master Xuanzang. Master Xuanzang's belt fluttered and he looked at the west as he stepped forward, as if the journey of learning Buddhist scriptures more than a thousand years ago had just begun. His eyes are firm and persistent, and he travels across mountains and rivers in order to seek the great love in the world.
Chen Tie and Lin Xingxing stopped in front of the statue of Master Xuanzang, and they found a step to sit down. Looking up at the sky, in addition to the problem of light pollution, the air in Xi'an is actually very good now. On a generally clear night, you can see the beautiful starry sky.
The two sat side by side, pointing to the names of the constellations in the sky. They're waiting, and not just them. There are also many XA citizens and even tourists from other regions (countries) gathered here. Even though it was already eleven o'clock at night, and even though the cool wind was blowing, it made people feel a little chilly, but no one left.
The night is dark and the moon is high. A strange scene began to appear, a star rose slowly in the western night sky, its brightness was astonishing. In a short period of time, it has overwhelmed the light of all the stars in the sky. As the star rises, a circle of blue sky begins to spread. When it slowly rose to the highest altitude, its brightness gradually reached its maximum, and the circle of blue sky also occupied half the size of the sky. At its edges, blue gradually transitions to yellow, orange, and purple. Vibrant colors form a rainbow ring. Then the brightness of the sun in the night sky continued to increase, and gradually the stars in the sky could no longer be observed with the naked eye. The moon also shyly disappeared into the sky.
In the west where Master Xuanzang looked, a round of red sun hung high in the sky, and the whole Xi'an was illuminated like daytime.
Chen Tie and Lin Xingxing forgot to shout, forgot to cheer, silent tears fell from the corners of their eyes. This is the sunrise of humanity.
