Six Hundred and Forty Seventh Change Plan

Ye Han chatted with the two of them again, and the earth suddenly appeared outside the porthole, which aroused Ye Han's thoughts. He chatted with the two about the changes in the past two years. The changes over the past few years are all told.

Two years is not a long time, but the changes are really not small.

Ye Han already knew about the changes in Beiyuezhou from Bai Xiaoting, but Bai Xiaoting slept for two years, and after waking up, she was busy taking care of Professor Qin.

Both Xiao Chi and Xiao Chi are military officers who are very familiar with current affairs, especially the military aspect that Bai Xiaoting has never heard of, and this is precisely one of Ye Han's most concerned issues.

Ye Han had already heard about the surface changes in Beiyuezhou from Bai Xiaoting. Ye Han was very surprised by the 100,000 residents, and he never understood how the ground used to send so many people to the moon.

In fact, the launch of the spacecraft is much easier today than it was two years ago. The reason is that the country has spent a huge amount of manpower and material resources to build an electromagnetic ejection track that is more than ten kilometers long in the mountains of Qiongzhou!

The principle of this thing is the same as the ejection orbit of the moon, but the gravitational force of the earth is much higher than that of the moon, coupled with the resistance of the atmosphere, the Qiongzhou orbit is a bit shorter, and it is impossible to directly send the spacecraft into space.

But this thing can give the rocket a very high initial velocity, and the rocket itself only needs to carry a small amount of fuel to lift off smoothly.

This was originally the job of the flying rocket to carry the aircraft, but the cost of flying the Feitian is not small, and the energy consumption and cost of the electromagnetic orbit are much lower than that of the Feitian.

It is easy for the rocket to go up, and it is strange that the population of Moon City does not increase.

If the Qiongzhou orbit had not been put into use, the military would not have the confidence to build orbital airborne troops. Otherwise, every airborne training would have to be sent back to the sky with a launch vehicle. The astronomical training cost would make anyone vomit three liters of blood.

In addition, the application of shallow hibernation technology has greatly improved the safety of the spacecraft during the launch process and avoided the accidental risks of special personnel during the launch process. Therefore, many elderly people left the earth to settle on the moon, and at least one third of the moon residents This is the case.

Ye Han was very curious about how the country would allow this to happen. After asking carefully, he found out that these people are basically old experts and professors in various industries, and they are the kind of masters who deserve their names, with a few exceptions. Make special contributions to the country, otherwise there is no qualification to settle on the moon.

Today's Beiyuezhou is not the place where there was nothing back then. Staying away from the earth is equivalent to staying away from giant insects and dangers. Who in the world doesn't want to immigrate to the moon?

But the artificial ecology of the moon is very fragile,

Although the base has been expanded again and again, it is impossible to immigrate to the moon without restrictions. Special abilities and special contributions are the only stepping stones in Beiyuezhou.

The northern capital has also considered the feasibility of a large number of immigrants. After all, the threat of aliens has not been lifted, so it is best not to put all eggs in the same basket.

In order to solve this problem, as early as a year ago, Beiyuezhou organized manpower to open up the "Nanyuezhou Base" to seize the south pole of the moon in front of the base group.

The actions of Beiyuezhou cannot be concealed from the international base, but from Beiyue to Nanyue, the straight-line distance on land is more than 10,000 kilometers. If the terrain is considered, 15,000 kilometers cannot stop it.

Beiyue Continent gave full play to its own advantages. The materials sent to Nanyue Continent were launched by electromagnetic orbit, flew half a circle around the moon, and then landed on the south pole of the moon. While greatly saving transportation costs, the international base was so angry.

The Yankees are also eyeing the Antarctic, but the scale of the international base is still not as good as Beiyuezhou, and they can't compete with Beiyuezhou at all.

Slowly step by step, the Yankee is so regretful that his intestines are green. Why was he so obsessed with ghosts at the beginning, and why did he have to let Beidu explore the way?

In fact, the so-called pathfinding is not the main reason. The most important reason is that the Yankees are superstitious about their own industrial and technological strength, and believe that no country except the United States has the strength to build a moon base.

After the Moon Palace project was fully rolled out, it was too late for the Yankees to realize that something was wrong.

No one cares what outsiders think. In short, Nanyuezhou is occupied.

The Yankees have never given up on Nanyuezhou, wanting to get a share of the pie, and have had many contacts with Bei both publicly and privately. However, the Beiyuezhou base is stronger than the international base, and the Beiyuezhou fleet is stronger than the international fleet. Even the two Jupiter battles were completed independently by the Chinese expeditionary force. Beidu definitely has the confidence not to be a bird of Washington.

In terms of comprehensive national strength and technological level, Beijing must also recognize the leading position of the Yankees. However, China can concentrate its superior resources in aerospace to engage in space wars. The national conditions of the United States do not allow Washington to concentrate resources on the aerospace industry.

Beidu also wants to build a few more moon cities to transform the moon base from a purely military purpose to a colony. However, there are only ice mines at the two poles of the moon, so moon cities can only be built at the two poles of the moon. Lake, otherwise there is no condition for building a city at all.

According to Beidu's plan, ten or eight lunar cities can be built on the south pole of the moon. However, resources are limited, and it is enough to feed 100 million people. And we can't consider the deterioration of the environment. Take the sustainable development route and feed thousands of people. Thousands of people.

Of course, it doesn’t make sense to think about these now. Qiongzhou’s transportation capacity is limited, and it will take at least several years to fill a moon city.

Even so, Beidu was no longer satisfied with opening up lunar colonies, and began to set its sights on other stars.

In Ye Han's perception, the planets with the most conditions for colonization should be Ganymede and Callisto. These two satellites have a lot of water and a large area of ​​land, which can obtain enough mineral resources to support development. Unlike Europa, which is ice except for ice, it seems very suitable for colonization, but immigrants can't live on water and ice alone, can they?

Mars also seems to be a good choice, and various evidences show that Mars has a lot of groundwater.

However, exactly where the groundwater is and how much it reserves are still unsolved mysteries. Before enough water is found, colonizing Mars is a joke.

Asteroid belt? There are no asteroids rich in water resources, right?

The satellites of Saturn may also have the basic conditions for colonization, but the place is far away from the sun, and the temperature is so low that the air will become solid. Even if there are water resources, it cannot be regarded as a colonization target.

At the current level of technology, colonizing the Galilean satellites is an impossible task, even if those satellites do not allow aliens to occupy the magpie's nest.

Ye Han could only think of these, but the answer Xiao Yuan gave him surprised him, the military's next target was actually Mercury!
