Su Zhe and the others were flying at low altitude on the surface of Proxima Centauri B. At first glance, they saw that the environment was almost exactly the same as that on the surface of Mars. The reddish-brown land was barren and there was nothing.
After flying for a long time, the three of them arrived at a huge impact crater. The three of them stood on the top of the mountain in the center of the impact crater and looked around.
There are many golden substances on the surface of this impact crater.
Zuo Dajun frowned and said, "This impact crater is big enough, and the asteroid that hit it cannot be smaller."
As he spoke, Zuo Dajun waved his hand, and a picture appeared in front of the three of them. This picture was exactly the culprit of the impact crater, which was the core of the asteroid.
There is a core with a diameter of ten kilometers located fifteen kilometers deep beneath their feet.
Fan Xiaoming said with a smile: "I said there would be so much gold on the surface of this impact crater. It turns out that a gold asteroid hit Proxima Centauri B. That's right."
Zuo Dajun smiled and said: "Obviously, there is no shortage of gold here. The most abundant thing in Proxima Centauri is probably gold. The resources of Proxima Centauri B can be mined moderately. If you ask me, Proxima Centauri B is very suitable for transformation into a human settlement. However, the triple star system where Proxima Centauri is located is too unstable, making this place unsuitable for human habitation.”
The star system where Proxima Centauri is located is very unstable, so it is very suitable for resource development, but not suitable for human habitation.
It's not as stable as the solar system.
Su Zhe squatted down, dug out a fist-sized gold nugget from the rock under his feet, and said, "Gold is a good thing. In the past, its main value was monetary value, but now it is its industrial value. Our development requires a large amount of gold. Relatively speaking, Come on, the gold here is nothing. The planet closest to Proxima Centauri is the best. Ninety percent of celestial bodies the size of the moon are gold, which is a bit scary, but it will be enough for us to use for a long time."
In terms of current industry and development, the demand for gold is very large.
The gold discovered on the moon was used up a long time ago. Later, some was mined in the solar system, and some was synthesized through synthesis. Compared with synthesis, direct mining is the most cost-effective.
Fan Xiaoming and Zuo Dajun nodded repeatedly.
The three of them walked around on Proxima Centauri B, but found nothing special. They left the surface of Proxima Centauri B and flew towards the satellite of Proxima Centauri B.
Proxima Centauri B has three satellites, all of which are much smaller than the moon. Two are only one-quarter the size of the moon, and one is only one-quarter the size of the moon. Coincidentally, these three satellites are solid celestial body.
The speed of the three of them was very fast. In a short time, the three of them arrived at the first satellite that was 80,000 kilometers away.
The center of gravity on the surface of this satellite is very small. Su Zhe and the three of them can fly without paying attention while walking on the surface.
Walking on the surface, Fan Xiaoming picked up a gold nugget from the ground and said with a smile: "Look, there is gold everywhere on the surface of this satellite. There is so much gold. It is consistent with the detection results. At first I thought There was an error in the detection results. Now it seems that the detection results are completely correct. There is not much else in this Proxima Centauri star system, except that it has more gold, and that is all gold."
In the detected data, it shows that there is much more gold in the Proxima Centauri system than in the solar system.
It can be said that gold can be seen on celestial bodies in the Proxima Centauri system.
Zuo Dajun also picked up a gold nugget the size of a head on the ground and said with a smile on his face: "Gold is a treasure. It can only be said that we are very lucky. It can be said that with this gold, our development speed will be faster." It can be faster."
Su Zhe nodded and said, "Yes! Gold is too important for our development."
As he said that, Su Zhe and the others started to fly close to the ground, and saw a golden mountain in the distance. When they looked over, they saw that Su Zhe, Ning Qiaoqiao, and Fan Xiaohui were diligently picking up gold. This small mountain Jinshan was built by these three people.
Fan Xiaoming asked and found out that it was Miss Su Zhe who wanted to build a golden house. No, she started picking up materials.
Su Zhe and the others helped pick up the gold for a while, and then the three of them left the satellite and flew towards another satellite 100,000 kilometers away.
This satellite is very special. It is a black iron lump. 100% of the entire celestial body is iron. Apart from one meter of gravel, the surface of this celestial body is full of iron lumps downwards.
Su Zhe and the others stood on the surface of this celestial body. Fan Xiaoming looked surprised and said, "This satellite is great. It is a perfect raw material. Really, it is much better than the iron ore on the earth. This kind of celestial body is what we need. Having said that, in the Proxima Centauri system, there are not many such celestial bodies. Just the iron lump under our feet, we still don’t know which star’s core it is.”
Judging from the exploration results of the Proxima Centauri system, there are really many such celestial bodies. The largest one is the golden planet closest to Proxima Centauri.
Then there is the iron block under their feet, and there are many similar celestial bodies, but the size of these celestial bodies is smaller.
Zuo Dajun smiled, shoveling the gravel with the shovel in his hand, and said, "Yes! This iron lump is probably the core of the star. I want to see if my feet are the same as what I found. It is really iron." Nao Dao."
Seeing that Zuo Dajun was busy, Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming were not idle either. They dug holes and shoveled soil. Soon, the three of them cleared a large area of land. As detected, There are really black iron knots underneath.
Zuo Dajun also hit it hard with a shovel several times, but there was no response at all.
Fan Xiaoming said with a smile: "This is solid and made of iron. This is the best raw material for us. Such a big iron lump will save us a lot of effort."
The mining of ores is very time-consuming. Even if it is fully automated now and energy has become free, for mining resources, as long as there is enough time, any material can be extracted.
It's just that this process is very time-consuming, but if the purity of the ore is high, the time consumed will naturally be less.
Zuo Dajun nodded and said, "Yes, this saves us a lot of effort. To be honest, what we need is this kind of iron rod, so that we don't waste too much time."
At this time, three people received the email at the same time.
The content of the email was a preliminary plan for the development of Proxima Centauri. You must know that when they entered Proxima Centauri, the space plane was conducting a comprehensive scan of the entire Proxima Centauri system, and the scanned data would be transmitted back to Earth.
Relevant departments will formulate plans for the development of Proxima Centauri based on the scanned data.
No, the relevant departments have completed the preliminary plan for the development. Now the three of them have received the preliminary plan and are seeking their opinions.
Of course, not only the opinions of the three of them were sought, but also many, many others.
Relevant departments will make modifications based on feedback, and finally the most complete plan will be implemented.
After a while, Su Zhe and the others finished reading the preliminary plan.
As the three of them said, the Proxima Centauri system will be fully developed. Of all the planets, only three planets including Proxima Centauri B will be left, and then Proxima Centauri itself. Other celestial bodies will be mined as resource bodies. , until mining is complete.
As far as Proxima Centauri is concerned, the entire star will be enveloped, its solar energy collected, and converted into cold fusion nuclear fuel.
Fan Xiaoming said with a smile: "Yeah! This plan is quite reasonable. The orbit around the solar system requires resources to build. Although these resources are not enough, they can be used for a period of time. Furthermore, the solar energy of Proxima Centauri is replaced with cold fusion nuclear fuel. It makes sense, after all, now we need a lot of cold fusion nuclear fuel."
In a short period of time, it will be difficult to miniaturize proton fusion devices, so we can only rely on cold fusion devices.
Cold fusion nuclear fuel does not exist in the natural environment and needs to be synthesized artificially.
As time goes by, the use of cold fusion nuclear fuel is increasing, just like the current humanoid bionic robots, mechas, home robots, various types of flying saucers, aerospace aircraft, flying cars, etc., all of which use It's a cold fusion nucleus
fuel.
There are indeed many synthesis factories now, many of which build proton fusion devices to generate energy, and then use this energy to synthesize cold fusion nuclear fuel.
The reason why the sun's solar energy is not used for synthesis is that the current protection of the solar system is not only the protection of resources, which means stopping the development of resources, but also the collection of solar energy. The reason for this is that the collection of solar energy It will also disrupt the balance of the solar system. In order to protect the solar system, these can only be stopped.
You know, Proxima Centauri does not have an earth, so there is no need to worry about it, and the solar energy from Proxima Centauri can be collected unscrupulously.
With the support of Proxima Centauri energy, many less proton fusion devices can be built.
With today's science and technology, no matter how big we build it, it can't compare to the size of a star, no matter how small the size of that star is.
Zuo Dajun nodded repeatedly and said: "As we are now, the demand for cold fusion nuclear fuel is getting bigger and bigger. The most direct and convenient way is to collect the energy of stars. The energy of the sun cannot be collected, but neighboring It doesn’t matter if you have stars, you can collect them however you want.”
For Proxima Centauri, anything is fine, as long as it doesn't blow up Proxima Centauri, whatever it is.
Su Zhe looked at the direction of Proxima Centauri, thought for a while and said: "For the collection of Proxima Centauri energy, the last step is to convert the energy into cold fusion nuclear fuel. Of course, it is not only synthetic nuclear fuel, but also industrial processing. It is also here It needs to be a processing industry, but the core processing industry cannot be placed here. After all, this place is too unstable. Maybe it will be in chaos at any time, and it will be destroyed accidentally. "
The triple star star system is a time bomb, and you don’t know when it will explode.
It can be said that there are still rules that can be checked without interference, but now that development is going on, it is really difficult to predict.
Therefore, this place is not suitable for human settlement, nor can the core processing industry be placed here.
Fan Xiaoming said with a smile: "That's the truth, but what do you think about Yanda's development rights to Proxima B? I didn't expect that Yanda would directly transform Proxima B and make a comprehensive transformation of Proxima B to make it suitable for humans. survival."
The preliminary plan clearly states that Yanda will comprehensively develop Proxima B and transform it into a planet suitable for human survival.
From the very beginning, Qingdao University's approach has been to build an environment suitable for human survival from scratch. However, Yanda University is different. It actually transforms the celestial body.
Tsinghua University is already building a Second Earth. Because the solar system cannot provide enough resources, the Second Earth that has built a framework will soon fly to Proxima Centauri. It will use the resources of Proxima Centauri to build it. Yanda University’s plan is Transforming Proxima Centauri B.
Zuo Dajun thought for a while and said: "It doesn't matter, just let Yan Da transform it. Proxima B is of no use to us anyway. Besides, we are also involved in Yan Da's transformation plan. If it really succeeds, Well, we humans are just awesome.”
Yanda's transformation plan is very ambitious. It will first change small celestial bodies, and eventually they will become stars. According to Yanda's plan, it will eventually be possible to transform other star systems into star systems similar to the solar system. That is natural. , then there will be many celestial bodies like the earth, and then there will be many many places for human beings to live.
In his opinion, such a plan is feasible. Although it is not possible yet, as time goes by and scientific research technology continues to improve, it will be realized sooner or later.
Su Zhe smiled and said, "I don't have any objections. I support the transformation of Proxima Centauri. I also hope that Yanda's transformation plan can be realized earlier, so that we can continue to replicate human beings in the universe." place of survival."
Fan Xiaoming smiled and said, "Actually! Yanda and I have greeted each other a long time ago and gave me detailed explanations. Not only me, but also several other major districts have given explanations, just to gain our support. After all, Our nine major special zones are in a competitive relationship. Of course, we must seek truth from facts and not deal with the problem but the person. Now it looks like Yanda’s plan is feasible.”
Now the nine major special zones are not only a cooperative relationship, but also a competitive relationship. For the nine major special zones,
There are cross-developments among them, just like Proxima Centauri. There is not one special zone that is the only one. The nine special zones are intertwined with each other. Within the scope of Proxima Centauri, all nine special zones have projects.
This is not just Proxima Centauri, but every star system is like this. In the final analysis, it is to prevent one family from becoming dominant. The lessons of history are there. No matter what, you cannot let one family become dominant even if you sacrifice some development speed.
Just like the special zone led by Lingzhou University of Science and Technology, it is not a single institution. There are different opinions within the special zone, and there is supervision between each other.
The nine special zones are all the same.
Often a special zone is too united, which is not a good thing for the whole.
