Chapter 318 Artificial Planet

Pandora galaxy.

The stellar ecliptic plane is on the habitable zone of life 1.5 astronomical units away from the central star.

A planet that had never existed in this galaxy before suddenly appeared in this star system.

"This artificial planet has finally been built!"

Feitian, in the bridge control hall, looking at the planet below through the porthole, Belekov, the navigator who has been in charge of the construction of artificial planets these years, has a bright smile on his face.

"Thank you, Corvo."

Patting Belekov on the shoulder, Yun Xinghe nodded to him.

Building an artificial planet is not an easy task. It is not as simple as stacking a large number of meteorites, ice cubes, and comets together in disorder.

A planet suitable for human habitation must meet these necessary conditions.

[-]. Adequate water resources, water is the source of life, the importance of water is beyond doubt.

[-]. Breathable atmosphere, and the atmospheric pressure, air oxygen content, and UV-resistant ozone layer must meet the living standards of human beings.

[-]. The geomagnetic field. If there is no geomagnetic field outside the atmosphere to resist the invasion of the solar storm, no matter how thick the atmosphere on the surface of the planet is, it will be blown into a vacuum.

In addition, the geomagnetic field can also resist most of the harmful cosmic rays and high-energy particles. A planet without a geomagnetic field has no potential for transformation.

[-]. The appropriate autobiographical period and revolution period, the elliptical radius of the revolution orbit, and the angle between the Tropic of Cancer and the ecliptic plane are very important to the formation of the four seasons of the year.

All of the above factors require a large number of mathematical calculations and multivariate calculations by supercomputers.

On the Feitian, only Belekov, a mathematical genius, can do this job well.

Belekov did not disappoint everyone. It took only more than 8800 years to create an artificial planet with a diameter of 2.43 kilometers and a surface area of ​​[-] million square kilometers.

There are artificial oceans, the atmosphere, and the geomagnetic field.

The autobiographical period is 22 hours, and it takes 413 days to circle the star.

After the transformation of the ecological circle is completed, this planet is enough to accommodate 100 billion people to survive on it.

"This...how is this possible?"

When the officials of the Federal Space Exploration Agency learned that the members of the Feitian had transformed such a huge habitable planet in just over 20 years, they immediately exclaimed, and then shook their heads suddenly: "Impossible, this Impossible!"

If they didn't know the existence of the pumice element later, they would never believe that the efficiency of planetary transformation can be so fast.

Because according to estimates, the workload of building an artificial planet from scratch requires an expedition team of several people and a small spaceship to complete, and the transformation period is at least a hundred years.

So when the Feitian arrived at the Pandora galaxy, the Feitian reported to the Space Exploration Agency: There are no habitable planets in the habitable zone of this star system (Pandora is concealed), but there are a large number of meteorites in the meteorite belt, hoping to drag the meteorites to habitable Belt, when he built a habitable planet by himself, the scientists of the Space Exploration Bureau immediately persuaded Feitian to give up this plan, and asked Yun Xinghe and the others to try their luck in the next star system after replenishing the spacecraft with fuel and materials.

Scientists said: "Forget it, building a planet needs to move trillions of tons of material. Each time you move, you have to span a distance of at least several astronomical units. With the efficiency of a spacecraft, it will not be completed in 1000 years." With such a huge workload, this kind of work requires the cooperation of tens of thousands of engineering spacecraft to complete."

But Yun Xinghe still wanted to give it a try, and didn't want to waste this galaxy with great transformation potential.

As a result, it took only 28 years for Feitian to complete the workload that the scientist estimated would take thousands of years to complete.

Efficiency has increased dozens of times.

pumice stone.

The pumice stone that can eliminate gravity is the main reason why Yun Xinghe and the others were able to build an artificial planet in such a short period of time.

This is where the strategic value of the pumice stone lies. 1 mole unit of UN element can offset the mass within a space of 10 cubic meters. The unit's pumice stone, this meteorite, can be pulled away with little effort.

Yunxinghe first produced 1 "little coachman-class" unmanned transport ships with a length of no more than [-] meters for Belekov, as well as a batch of space rock crushers, space mold boxes, space net bags and other equipment, and then gave Belekov [-] million units of pumice stones... The combination of these things can transport tens of billions of tons of meteorites every day.

In addition, in the later stage, Feitian, the most powerful ship, also helped to pull hundreds of hundreds of billion-ton "heavy cargo", so it is no wonder that the transformation efficiency is not exaggerated.

Even, if there are enough "pumice stones" in hand, those asteroids with a diameter of less than [-] kilometers will also look at them and drag them away with ease.

It can be seen that the value of the pumice stone is only in the aspect of environmental modification of the star system, and the future is boundless.

"This artificial planet has entered the stage of automatic transformation. Hundreds of thousands of purification devices and millions of greening robots will complete the rest of the transformation work according to the procedures. After 200 years, the Federation's immigrant spaceship and star fleet will arrive. After this galaxy, you can have a comfortable place to stay."

"We can leave with confidence and go to the next leg of our journey."

Belekov, who seemed to have lost weight after working for more than 20 years, spent a lot of mental and physical effort, said relaxedly.

Feel free to leave?

Hearing this word, everyone including Yun Xinghe shook their heads slightly, not very optimistic.

Can you really leave at ease?

An artificial planet, plus more than one billion mole units of pumice, can really make their fellow human beings give up their coveted planet Pandora.

You must know that on Pandora, there are still 90% of the pumice elements that have not been mined, and more than 70% of them are distributed in the deep crust and mantle of the planet, which is very difficult to mine.

The grandfather in his mind also told Yun Xinghe: In order to maximize the mining of pumice stone elements, Pandora, another parallel universe, was completely crushed by the ore mining company of the Blue Star Federation, and almost every molecule was carefully selected. After reading it again, I will never let go of even 0.00001 mole of pumice element in this planet.

Because, even in the entire Milky Way, there are very few planets that contain pumice elements, and planets like Pandora have pumice element reserves of more than 1 million mole units, which is simply unheard of.

Not to mention the Blue Star Federation, if the alien civilization knew of the existence of Pandora, it would probably immediately send a fleet to sail at a high speed, and seize this planet before the Blue Star Federation mined the last unit of pumice stone element!

Even, in order to grab more, they may start a war against the Blue Star Federation!
In front of the pumice stone, tree gods, Lanwei people, giant birds, giant beasts, and millions of animal and plant resources are not worth mentioning.

In the face of such huge interests, no matter how lofty an individual, no matter how principled and moral the government is, they have to think about it day and night: should they choose convincing noble sentiments, or choose immeasurable interests?
The same is the precious wealth of humanistic spirit.

The same is the real money in front of you.

choose that?

"Lanwei people will lose their homeland sooner or later. Planet Pandora will sooner or later become a good memory in people's minds. In that parallel space, after Planet Pandora was destroyed, the Blue Star Federation produced many cultural works such as film and television, games, etc. Popularity, what the Federal Fleet and RDA Mining Company have done has also been criticized, and it can be said that they are notorious, but these moral pressures have not affected their mining efficiency in the slightest, and even stimulated by Pandora, the Blue Star Federation has devoted themselves to interstellar development The number of people has exploded."

"Morality can restrain some behaviors of people, but it can never restrain the pursuit of interests."

The old man in his mind said.

"That is to say, no matter what I do, I can't change Pandora's ending?" Yun Xinghe asked.

"You can only make the ending not too bad."

Yun Xinghe smiled wryly and said: "I regret coming to Pandora now. I would rather go to a desolate galaxy and open up an ordinary colony planet for the Federation than bear such moral pressure... I originally planned to have a happy life." journey."

"This is a very normal thing, my child. The ending of Pandora will not be as bad as that of the parallel space, at least. The Lanwei people should be preserved and become a minority group joining the federation... For your sake, The Commonwealth will not kill all."

"Grandpa, don't laugh at me!" Yun Xinghe smiled bitterly on his face.

"Be happy, children, and get ready to start again. The next journey will be more interesting. You will see a very interesting civilization of wisdom. This civilization will open your eyes and make you think about life."

"Another intelligent civilization?"

Yun Xinghe's eyes lit up, and he began to look forward to it.
