Chapter 1228 Eridium and Venus
1228. Eridium and Venus
Tang Yu clicked on the computer a few times and continued: "Did you know that Venus and Mars are actually two extremes. The problem with Mars is that the atmosphere is too thin, and the problem with Venus is that the atmosphere is too thick. At this time, it is Yi The time has come for mines to make a difference."
A piece of purple eltium appeared on the screen, and the molecular structure and composition of this substance were displayed, but among this composition, at least one-third of the display was unknown.
"Eridium mines are very mysterious. What we know is that in the world of "Borderlands", an extremely powerful ancient civilization - the Eridium people once arose because of Eridium mines." Tang Yu continued.
Hu Immortal nodded. She had also done research on the world of "Borderland", but she also hoped to get more detailed and scientific research results from Tang Yu. Jane Connor, on the other hand, listened to this as a story. Looking at her, she seemed to be more interested in the guardian space fortress that was getting closer and closer outside the window.
"Currently, our research on eridium is still in its infancy. Even for Handsome Jack and Hyperion, the research on eridium has not reached a very deep level. Now we only know that eridium It can be used as an energy source, and even organisms can absorb the energy of eltium ore under certain conditions, thus possessing some mysterious abilities. The slag of eltium ore can also destroy the molecular structure of the material, making the target very fragile. However, For us now, the most valuable function of Eridium is one of its characteristics - it can grow by itself!" Tang Yu said.
Tang Yu clicked on the computer, and a video appeared. In the video, the technicians put together a piece of erium ore and a piece of coal. Then the video started to fast-forward, and it was possible to see that some purple substances gradually began to appear on the coal, and there were more and more of these purple substances. Later, the coal cracked into several pieces, and it could be seen that the inside of the coal was also eroded by purple substances. After watching the video, about a week later, the coal disappeared and was replaced by some much smaller purple eltium!
"This piece of coal was assimilated by the elium mine?" Hu Immortal said with a frown.
Tang Yu nodded, did not speak, and opened another video. In this video, the technician puts a piece of eltium ore into a sealed glass box, and shows that the weight of eltium ore at this time is about 1 kg. The technicians then turned on a vent and began pumping large amounts of gas into the glass box. Then the video started to fast-forward again, and you can see that the Eridium Mine is slowly getting bigger! ! Not only that, a faint purple air began to fill the glass box. About a month later, the eltium ore, which had grown significantly larger, was taken out and weighed, and the weight had increased to 1.5 kilograms! !
"The infused gas is changed every day, including carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, etc. As a result, the eltium ore never refuses anyone who comes, and completely absorbs and assimilates these things. The components including the air are also attached. The composition of 镒 ore is changed, and it becomes purple." Tang Yu said.
"So,
What would happen if the human body breathed this air? " asked the fox fairy.
"It will be poisoned, and then the body will be slowly eroded. It will take about 5 to 20 years to die, depending on the strength of the person's body. After death, the metabolism will stop, which will accelerate the erosion of the body by eltium , After about half a year, this person's body will be completely turned into a piece of eltium ore - this is the clinical experiment report of Hyperion Corporation. So we are very careful about the use of eltium ore, and all experiments are completely sealed It is carried out under certain conditions, and the eltium ore reactor uses carefully packaged eltium ore." Tang Yu replied.
Fox Immortal nodded and said, "Then what you're going to do is to spread the eltium ore into Venus, and let the eltium ore absorb the excess carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide in the atmosphere of Venus?"
Tang Yu smiled and replied: "That's the reason. As long as the large amount of carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide in the atmosphere of Venus are absorbed and assimilated, the greenhouse effect of Venus will be resolved, and the surface temperature will drop accordingly. But our treatment More subtle, we don't want Venus' atmosphere to be filled with purple air after all, do we?"
Then Tang Yu took out a schematic diagram on the computer screen and said: "After confirming the development plan of Venus, we first launched a geological survey satellite around Venus, and initially locked 20 huge underground caves. Then we sent the first A batch of transport ships placed a total of 500,000 tons of elium ore at the bottom of these underground caves. Then began to send robots to build such a thing..."
A tall tower that looked like a chimney appeared on the screen. Tang Yu pointed to it and said, "This thing, to put it bluntly, is a super giant blower with a height of 700 to 1500 meters, which will suck the air of Venus. It is then compressed and poured into the vicinity of the eltium ore to allow the eltium ore to absorb it. Then this is a filter device that can filter the purple air that contains a large amount of eltium ore produced by the eltium ore in the underground cave and re-emit it.”
"That is to say, this system is actually an air purifier? Eridium is the filter element in this purifier?" Hu Immortal said.
Tang Yu nodded, and called up a huge airship on the screen and said: "This kind of airship is also based on the same principle. They will cruise at the high altitude of Venus at an extremely slow speed. The airship is equipped with a lot of elium and high-power The blower system is also used to absorb excess carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide in the air. There are already 200 airships above Venus, and we expect to increase the number of such airships to 20,000 within the next five years. "
"Are you planning to turn Venus into a livable planet?" Hu Immortal frowned and said, "Then your approach is not enough!"
Tang Yu waved his hand and said, "This is impossible. Because no matter how careful we are, there will still be a large amount of 镒 matter spilling into the atmosphere of Venus, and Venus will never be suitable for human habitation. My purpose is to turn Venus into a A low-cost resource star that allows ordinary robots to work freely. After all, the air on Venus is very acidic, and the surface temperature is as high as 490 degrees. It must be a special robot to work on it. After solving the broken future After the problem of time and space, I will send all the Skynet Terminators I get from there to Venus. Terminators made of tantalum alloy are perfect for working in the Venus environment."
"That is to say, the future Venus is a purple planet that will provide us with inexhaustible erium ore. Before that, we can also mine enough resources on Venus. After all, the erium ore will be completely eroded The entire Venus, according to calculations, will take at least a thousand years. Now we are building some mines on Venus, but if the environmental problems of Venus cannot be solved, the efficiency of resource mining will be very low. Therefore, during this period, the guardian space Fortresses are still only buildable on the Moon."
"Similarly, there is also Mercury. However, Mercury is still far away, so my handling is very simple and rude. I directly crashed 10 transport ships full of erium ore on Mercury, and let these erium ore grow by themselves. Anyway, in real Until high-speed spacecraft are built, the resources on Mercury will remain elusive."
After Tang Yu finished speaking, he stretched out a finger and tapped on the table, and said to Fox Immortal and Jane Connor: "So, with the layout on the moon and Venus, although 99.9% of the resources in my hands are now used to protect But in terms of resources and energy, what we have is unlimited! Our Guardian Group, no, the war potential of the Guardian Empire is definitely the top existence even in the Platinum Group!"
