Chapter 244 Mars Is Mine!

Turn around in near-Earth space for a few times.

Observe the surface of the blue planet.

Press the camera button from time to time and take hundreds of pictures.

Even ran to the side of China's "Tianhe" space station, waved the top mechanical arm to say hello, and took a photo with the space station.

"This..."

The Chinese astronauts stationed in the space station opened their mouths wide and were stunned.

Then.

Wei Ming's goal was set on the moon 380,000 kilometers away.

Let the "Water Drop" face the direction of the moon, control Xiao Hei to move to the front of the spacecraft, and then open the gravity radius to give the Water Drop a forward pull.

Wei Ming did a calculation on the computer and gave the Water Drop a 720-ton pull (2G) for 2,000 seconds, maintained a uniform speed for 7,500 seconds in the middle, and maintained the same reverse acceleration for 2,000 seconds during the deceleration period... A total of 11,500 seconds, it can successfully reach the moon.

It's just over three hours.

Of course, if the pulling force is greater, even three hours is not needed.

"Let's go to the Moon Star and check it out first, although someone has already climbed this place."

Accelerate!

Accelerate!

On the speed display, Wei Ming let the 3G acceleration run wild for a full 1,500 seconds, bringing the maximum speed to 45 kilometers per second.

It was only 20,000 kilometers away from the Moon Star that it began to decelerate sharply.

Under the drastic deceleration of 5G, it was maintained for nearly 900 seconds before the speed of the Water Drop relative to the Moon Star dropped to zero.

This deceleration process was almost fatal. The compressed spine was in great pain, the head and eyeballs were congested, and even the consciousness showed signs of slight blur.

Wei Ming swore that he would not play such intense overloads again in the future before his body was sufficiently trained and became a strong muscular man.

Of course, it may also be that the "Water Drop" is too large, causing Xiao Hei's gravitational radius to be unable to cover itself. If a pocket-sized "Water Drop" with a diameter of about two meters is built, then its instantaneous overload will reach 100G without any problem. It will only take about ten minutes to reach the moon under this acceleration.

But Wei Ming was too cautious and afraid of this and that, so he made a big guy weighing more than 300 tons, which greatly reduced its maneuverability.

Of course, everyone is cautious for the first time. Fortunately, it didn't take much time this time. It landed on the surface of the moon in less than three hours.

It landed smoothly in a circular basin at the south pole of the moon.

The basin is called "Galileo Crater", which is the most likely place for ice water on the moon. Most of the lunar probes launched by humans before were launched into this basin to find the most precious water resources.

As long as water resources can be found, a moon base can be built in the area, and immigration can be carried out according to the amount of water resources, and there is the possibility of large-scale exploitation of moon resources.

If no water resources are found, no matter how rich the underground resources are, they are not worth exploiting because they cannot guarantee human survival.

So Wei Ming also tried to look for it.

He asked Xiao Hei to go deep into the ground, at the deepest point of six or seven hundred meters, and rotate at high speed. It can scan a large area in more than ten seconds to confirm whether there is water.

If this area is not found, quickly go to the next area.

However, it took more than an hour to search.

The scanning range exceeded thousands of square kilometers, but Wei Ming did not make any major discoveries... Although there were many areas with a small amount of ice water in the rock layer, the reserves were relatively small.

Just when he was about to give up.

Suddenly, a large amount of traces of ice water were scanned at a depth of one hundred meters underground in front.

Roughly estimated, the reserves are at least one million tons, which should be the result left after the impact of a large number of ice meteorites. It is shallowly buried and easy to mine, enough for tens of thousands of humans to consume.

Wei Ming immediately recorded the detailed coordinates of this place, accurate to the ten-meter level, and it is easy to locate it accurately based on the coordinates.

And named the place "Xiantao Valley", for no other reason, peaches have a lot of water.

"First, remember this place. In the future, let the Black Hole Universe Development Company build a base here and use it as a base to vigorously develop the resources on the Moon Star."

"If this piece of land is fiercely contested by all parties and is not very quiet, you can also sell this coordinate point to the country. It is absolutely reasonable to charge 30 to 50 billion information fees, because I don’t know how many detours this will help the Aerospace Group save."

"In other words, I left Blue Star and wandered around in space for a while, and I made at least 30 to 50 billion."

Of course.

Wei Ming's personality is the kind of low-key and introverted personality. Although the resources on the Moon Star are very rich, it is too close to the Blue Star. It will definitely be the focus of competition among countries in the future. In the end, either everyone will mark a piece of land, or everyone will share it. No one can take it all. Areas rich in resources will definitely gather to pan for gold, and they will not care about "first come, first served". All of them are assumed to be "unowned land."

Considering this point.

Wei Ming is not very interested in the Moon Star. At most, he will set up a few transfer stations or springboards here, and he does not intend to fight with all parties.

His main target is actually Mars. He has considered taking Mars for himself before other forces have the ability to reach Mars and establish a colony.

Because there is water on Mars.

There is a large amount of groundwater.

Scientists have come to this conclusion based on various evidences.

There is no problem with the immigration of 1 million to 10 million people.

As long as there are immigrants and a self-sufficient industrial system is established, the resources of the entire planet will be yours sooner or later.

That is, population = resources.

Indeed, robots may develop to a level of intelligence close to that of humans, but machines are machines after all, and they rely more on the industrial system and have higher requirements for high-precision technology. Unless civilization develops to a very advanced stage, the role of humans cannot be replaced.

Wei Ming calculated again on the computer.

The distance between Mars and him is now about 380 million kilometers, which is a thousand times the distance between the blue planet and the moon.

According to the maximum speed of 45 kilometers per second just now, it will take 97 days to reach Mars, which takes more than three months.

"Is there any way to compress it to within three days?"

This is also easy to calculate. As long as the average navigation speed is increased to 1500 kilometers per second, it can be achieved in 30,000 seconds at an acceleration of 5G.

But obviously, with Wei Ming's body, it is impossible to persist for such a long time under this overload.

He could try to let Xiao Hei's gravitational radius wrap around him and accelerate, but the 75-centimeter gravitational radius, blocked by the spacecraft console, could only wrap half of his upper body, not all of it.

What to do?

A living person cannot be suffocated to death by urine!

Since the gravitational radius cannot cover it, then run to the back of the moon and devour matter crazily to increase the range of the gravitational radius.

Huhuhuhu~

The crazy devouring lasted for two full days.

He flattened many tall mountains and created a large plain with an area of ​​hundreds of square kilometers, swallowing more than 100 billion tons of matter in total.

Xiao Hei's gravitational radius finally increased to 1.8 meters.

The scanning radius increased to 18 meters.

The radius that can be released outside the body is 1,800 meters.

The tragedy is that the field of view has also increased dramatically, reaching a full 1 micron, and it can no longer be taken into the body and released outside the body at will, unless a small hole is fixed in the chest to facilitate Xiao Hei's entry and exit, which is equivalent to frequent acupuncture in the same position. It has little effect on health, but it feels uncomfortable.

It is better to go through the esophagus or stay outside the body for a long time.

But no matter what!

Xiao Hei's gravitational radius can barely wrap itself.

Under the maximum overload allowed by the electronic equipment in the spacecraft, with an acceleration of 10G, it goes straight to Mars.

...

Two and a half days later.

Mars.

A plain in the mid-latitude of the northern hemisphere.

The Water Drop slowly descended and landed steadily on the surface of Mars covered with red soil.

Open the hatch.

Wei Ming, wearing an extravehicular space suit, stepped on the ground lightly.

Standing in front of the Water Drop.

Raised the selfie stick and took a selfie of himself with the industrial camera on it.

Wei Ming opened his arms and shouted excitedly to the people around him:

"Mars is mine!"
