Chapter 1517 Solar System Travel Route
Chapter 1517 Solar System Travel Route
Eris, discovered in 2005, is even 27% more massive than Pluto. The International Astronomical Union therefore formally defined the concept of a planet the following year. The new definition excludes Pluto from the range of planets, classifying it as a dwarf planet.
Although Pluto is classified as a dwarf planet, humans have discovered many planets with a diameter similar to that of Pluto. It can be said that although we have now turned the nine planets into eight planets. But for the entire solar system, we know more.
In fact, when we first divided the solar system into nine planets. It's all because we don't know much about the entire solar system. As we learn more about our solar system, we will also know about more planets with larger diameters.
In fact, it is meaningless to say how many large planets there are in the solar system. The solar system is very large. However, the scope of our understanding is still very limited. It is believed that as humans learn more about the space of the solar system, we will discover more and larger planets.
Because the entire solar system evolved slowly under its own gravity from a very large cosmic molecular cloud five billion years ago. Since it is near the solar system, eight planets have already evolved. Then in the cosmic space farther from the sun, there must be more planets. It's just that we haven't discovered them yet.
For Zhao Zhongyao, he can be said to be an astronomer now. In order to develop Moon City, he has learned a lot about astronomy.
This time he is going on a space adventure. Not only to develop some tourism resources. At the same time, it is also to realize my dream of understanding the mystery of space.
Also, Zhao Zhongyao knew that if he wanted to explore the universe, he also needed to be fully prepared. He has been prepared for it all these years. He himself designed a flying saucer spacecraft specially used for space rescue.
This flying saucer spacecraft uses a new anti-matter reactor technology. It was the first time he used the latest scientific research material, antimatter, on his flying saucer spacecraft.
And this flying saucer spacecraft is also the most advanced and largest spaceship he designed. Although this spaceship is not much different from ordinary flying saucer spaceships in appearance. But its volume far exceeds that of ordinary spaceships.
This huge flying saucer spaceship has a diameter of one thousand meters. The space inside is also very large, and hundreds of people can be carried at the same time. But the spacecraft designed by Zhao Zhongyao is not a passenger spacecraft, nor is it specially designed to take people.
The flying saucer spacecraft designed by Zhao Zhongyao is mainly used for prospecting. In other words, the spacecraft designed by Zhao Zhongyao is used to search for mineral deposits in the universe. Of course, it is mainly mineral deposits in the solar system.
Although the speed of this spacecraft has reached one million kilometers per hour. But at such a high speed, it can only fly in the solar system. If you want to leave the solar system and go to outer space, it will appear very slow.
Because even at a speed of 10 million kilometers per hour, it will take hundreds of years to fly to Proxima Centauri, which is the closest to our solar system. Obviously, such a time is impossible for space exploration in outer space.
Zhao Zhongyao knew that now that he designed a prospecting spacecraft, he could only fly in the solar system. If you want to fly farther, you must use other high-tech means to design a spaceship that flies faster than the speed of light.
But even with the strength of the Feitian Group, it seems impossible to design a spaceship that travels faster than the speed of light.
Therefore, for Zhao Zhongyao, if he wants to carry out longer-distance space exploration, it is necessary to find another way, and then design a spaceship that flies faster than the speed of light, so that it is possible for the spaceship to fly out of the solar system and fly to Proxima Centauri Or Sirius or a more distant star system.
Of course, that was just Zhao Zhongyao's long-term plan. What he wants to do now is to make the spaceship he designed swim freely in the solar system. This is already a very remarkable thing.
After all, it is now a company that can achieve the level of Feitian Group. There is only Huaguo Feitian Group in the whole world. Apart from Feitian Group, there is no other enterprise. Even the technology of country m is considered very advanced. But they are now far behind Huaguo. Country m has not yet completed the moon landing plan. Due to the economic turmoil in their country in recent years. Also, their leaders can see that the Feitian Group is already the only one in the aerospace field. It has far surpassed their m country. No matter how hard they try, it's useless. As a result, the leaders of country m have changed their strategy. Don't expect that their country's aerospace technology can catch up with or surpass China.
The common people in country m also feel that their country is already far behind China in the field of aerospace. It doesn't make much sense to go on like this. As a result, many ordinary people in country m took to the streets to protest, demanding that the country's leaders no longer invest in aerospace technology. Instead, the money should be used to improve the lives of ordinary people. In fact, aerospace technology is a very important technology. It's just because this kind of technology is a kind of big technology, and it is a kind of technology that investment and output seem to be incompatible on the surface. In the eyes of ordinary people, the country's research and development of aerospace technology is of little use. After all, these technologies and people The daily life of the surname seems to have little to do with it. Because ordinary people still care more about the life of their own family under normal circumstances. As for the economic situation of the whole country, they just don't know much about it. Also, ordinary people don't know much about what technology is like. Everyone feels that technology is something related to our production and life. Like TV and movies, computers and mobile phones. Only those things that ordinary people can use are considered high-tech products. The development of these things feels very necessary to ordinary people. As for aerospace technology, everyone feels that the country spends so much money to do such things. It doesn't seem to make much sense. After all, these things do not seem to be of concern to ordinary people. These things have little to do with ordinary people. In fact, we are all wrong to think so. The reason why we think this way is because we don't know the relationship between big technology and small technology. I don't know what kind of internal connection aerospace technology has with the technology that ordinary people know. Big technology and small technology are a relationship of inheritance and development. All small technologies are actually inherited from big technologies. Big tech started with some important academic theories. And small technology is the use of some of the big technology that can be used to develop technologies for people to produce daily necessities. Just like the mobile phones used by ordinary people. On the face of it this is just little tech. It doesn't seem like a big tech. But in fact, a small mobile phone is also a big technology. Because if you just look at a mobile phone, it doesn't feel like it's a big technology. But we need to know that during the use of mobile phones, space satellites are used to relay and send and receive signals. If there are no satellites in the sky, the mobile phone cannot communicate over long distances. In other words, the small technology we know is based on the premise of big technology. It is big technology that supports small technology. Small tech cannot survive without big tech. Big tech is like the ocean. Small technologies are like small rivers. If there is no sea, there will be no rain in the sky, and there will be no small rivers on the ground. Mobile phones are our daily necessities. But we need to know that every time we make a phone call, it is the synchronous communication satellites that are hundreds of kilometers or thousands of kilometers away from the earth that can spread the mobile phone signal to the whole world. Without these geosynchronous communication satellites, our mobile phones would not be able to communicate over long distances. And our computer, although now it has become a high-tech thing that every ordinary person can have. It looks like a small computer. But you know, this little microcomputer. It was born under the development of aerospace technology. In the beginning, human research on computers was definitely not for ordinary people to use. Computers were developed for aerospace technology. Because of aerospace technology, a large amount of data needs to be calculated. If there is no computer and manual calculation is used, it will be a very long process. And when people are calculating, it is still easy to make mistakes. When the machine is calculating, it can not only greatly increase the calculation speed, but also ensure that there will be no calculation errors during the calculation. Because of this, big technologies such as aerospace technology can drive some small technologies. If there is no big technology like aerospace technology, there will be no small technology to improve people's livelihood. The same is true of artificial intelligence that is now popular. Artificial intelligence has been around for decades. This technology is the technology used in space probes. It is developing intelligent detection tools to be launched to distant moons and other planets. If there were no detectors developed by aerospace technology, there would be no artificial intelligence that is popular today. Therefore, big technology drives small technology. The most representative of big science and technology is aerospace technology. Zhao Zhongyao is of course very clear about all this. He knew that the next thing he had to do was to go deep into the solar system. They have now built the Moon City in the Moon City. And the next step, of course, is to expand their living space to other planets in the solar system. To carry out the next step of work, the first thing is to conduct a field survey of the entire solar system, so that we can understand what kind of star system the solar system looks like. In such a star system, there are many large planets that have not been discovered by humans. Although there are already many mineral deposits on our earth. But the resources on earth are limited after all. And as the number of human beings continues to increase, the demand for cosmic resources will also continue to increase. When the earth can no longer meet human needs for resources, we must look to the entire solar system. The solar system is a very large star system. There are eight large planets near the Earth alone. In fact, in the middle layer of the distant solar system or the more distant edge of the sun, there may be even larger planets waiting for humans to discover. Because there are still many large planets in the solar system, they have not been discovered by humans. Then it is necessary for human beings to find all these large planets. Then conduct a field survey. It is necessary to see if there are resources for human use on these large planets. What Zhao Zhongyao wants to do now is to sort out the entire solar system. To draw a detailed map of the solar system. Then collect some mineral samples on the big planet. Then bring these mineral samples back to Moon City for analysis and research. Since the solar system has a planet rich in mineral deposits like the earth, there must be rich mineral deposits on other planets. Although until now, humans have not found any signs of life on other planets in the solar system. But when the solar system has not been sorted out, it is still impossible to identify the sun There is no trace of life on other planets in the system. Zhao Zhongyao's expedition to the solar system this time has three significances. The first is to develop tourist routes. The tourism business of Chang'e City should not be limited to the moon. Also expand into the surrounding outer space. Many tourists can start from Moon City to go sightseeing on other large planets in the entire solar system. If Zhao Zhongyao can now develop another tourist route to travel the entire solar system, it will definitely increase the income of Moon City a lot. After all, it must cost a lot to travel the solar system. Although it costs a lot, for the whole world, there are still many big bosses. They have money in their hands, and of course they can travel the solar system. Zhao Zhongyao is very aware of this. He knows that as long as he develops the tourist routes of this solar system, it will definitely increase the income of Moon City a lot, so that the investment cost of the entire Moon City can be recovered quickly. Zhao Zhongyao knew that what he was going to do next was of course very important. [Tip]: If you think this article is good, please recommend it to more friends! Sharing is also a kind of enjoyment.
