Homo sapiens

The construction of the Mars base is in full swing.

The other bundled fire spacecraft is still in the nuclear explosion propulsion stage.

This spacecraft set off from the Earth at the same time as the one going to Mars, but their destinations were different.

Its destination is Saturn.

As one of the eight planets in the solar system, Saturn is very similar to Jupiter. Both are large gaseous planets and also have many natural satellites.

Previously, the Space Division has established an exploration system on Jupiter, used nuclear explosion propulsion to launch two Spark spacecraft to Jupiter, built a space station in Jupiter's synchronous orbit, and simultaneously launched 93 artificial satellites to Jupiter and its affiliated natural satellites. .

This time, a bundled Fire spacecraft (made up of five Fire spacecraft bundled together) is launched to Saturn. The purpose is to explore Saturn, especially Saturn's natural satellites.

For example, Thanos' home planet - Titan.

Titan is the second largest satellite in the solar system, with a diameter larger than Mercury. More importantly, Titan has a dense atmosphere. Its surface atmospheric pressure is about 1.5 times that of the Earth. The core components of Titan's atmosphere are nitrogen and methane.

This kind of planet with low gravity and dense atmosphere uses a vacuum airship-style landing spacecraft to easily land and return to space.

Of course, the reason why the Homo sapiens company is eyeing Titan is not because it is easy to move up and down, but because Titan has more potential than Mars.

After all, Titan has a dense atmosphere, relatively strong geological activities, and liquid oceans and glaciers. Although the temperature is relatively low, the temperature in some volcanic areas is still very suitable for the existence of life.

Why is the Homo sapiens company obsessed with searching for extraterrestrial life?

The fundamental reason is that the discovery of lunar bacteria has made considerable progress in the biosynthesis technology of the lunar Copernicus base. Now it is possible to synthesize some precision parts on the moon.

As long as enough extraterrestrial life is collected, the Homo sapiens company can develop biosynthetic microorganisms that can adapt to the environment of each planet. The spacecraft can reduce some unnecessary equipment and directly use most of the payload to carry precision on instruments and personnel.

After all, in the process of future space exploration, if each exploration requires carrying a lot of supplies, then as the exploration planet becomes farther and farther away from the earth, the company's logistical pressure will become greater and greater.

Only the realization of local materials collection and supply along the way is the core function of future spacecraft.

Titan is the planet with the highest possibility of life in the solar system, and its priority is even higher than Mars.

Had Mars not been a relatively large, rocky planet with a large amount of minerals, the Homo sapiens company would not have gone to great lengths to build a Mars base.

Including Venus.

The Homo sapiens company has laid a floating base in the atmosphere of Venus, the Cloud Palace Project.

At present, the scale of the Yungong Base is already very large. A large number of vacuum airships are pieced together to form a huge floating platform.

Similarly, a bundled Spark spacecraft that was recently propelled by a nuclear explosion arrived at Mars 13 Earth days earlier.

After all, Venus is the planet closest to the earth. This twin star of the earth, if it were not for some unknown reasons, it should also be a vibrant planet.

The bundled fire spacecraft, which had already arrived at Venus, dropped a new batch of supplies bit by bit on the upper deck of the Yungong Base.

The Yun Palace Base is located in the atmosphere 50 kilometers above the surface of Venus. The atmosphere here is dense. Even at an altitude of 50 kilometers from the surface, the atmospheric pressure is still slightly higher than the sea level pressure on the Earth.

The dense atmosphere makes the vacuum airship incredibly buoyant.

The same vacuum airship with a vacuum chamber of 4 billion cubic meters has basically no payload of a few tons at an altitude of 50 kilometers above the earth; however, at an altitude of 50 kilometers on the surface of Venus, the effective buoyancy is as high as hundreds of thousands of tons.

This is also the fundamental reason why the Space Division launched the Cloud Palace project on Venus.

Of course, Venus' dense atmosphere is not a good thing. Strong winds are the norm, and sulfuric acid rain often rains. Without adequate protective armor and countermeasures, it is impossible to withstand the harsh environment of Venus' atmosphere.

When the Venus exploration spacecraft launched by old Lucia landed on the surface of Venus, it took less than a few dozen minutes to get a box lunch. This shows how harsh the Venus environment is.

Fortunately, various technologies from Homo Sapien Company are constantly emerging, giving the Space Division the confidence to conquer Venus.

15 humanoid robots appeared inside the Yungong base.

Obviously these robots are remotely controlled through magnetic monopole crystal communicators.

"Bai Xin, start the carbon dioxide collector."

"Copy that, Captain!"

The robot numbered JX-0024 was Stuka, the captain of this shift. He looked at the vacuum carbon sphere synthesis cabin that had just been transported from the earth and the task list sent by the headquarters, and quickly arranged various tasks.

Suddenly there was a noticeable shaking in the cabin.

He has long been accustomed to this. When he first started working on Venus through robots, he was still very nervous by the frequent vibrations.

Now he was used to it.

This is the normal state of the atmosphere of Venus. Even with an automatic balance and stabilization system, the Yun Palace Base has no way to eliminate this violent wind.

After all, the atmosphere of Venus is very dense, at an altitude of 50 kilometers, and typhoon-level winds are the norm.

The overall weight of the Yungong base reaches 255,000 tons, and it is still drifting and shaking due to strong winds.

Of course, not all of the 255,000 tons of weight were transported from the earth. 170,000 tons of it were carbon and sulfuric acid extracted from the atmosphere of Venus.

Refining so much carbon and sulfuric acid is mainly used as an industrial raw material reserve and also as a counterweight for the Yungong base.

You know, when it was first constructed, the floating speed and vibration intensity of the Yungong Base were more than ten times more intense than now.

It is precisely with so many counterweights that the Yungong base gradually stabilized.

The idea of ​​the Homo Sapien Company is very simple, that is, to use raw materials from the atmosphere and surface of Venus to continuously produce vacuum airships, and then expand the coverage area of ​​the Yunggong base until the entire Venus is completely enveloped.

As long as the atmosphere of Venus can be enveloped, the so-called violent wind will be self-defeating.

The Homo sapiens company will obtain a large area of ​​"floating land", and the gravity of Venus is almost the same as that of the Earth. It does not require a pseudo-gravity system and allows humans to live on the surface of Venus for a long time.

That's right, the first habitable alien planet planned by the Homo Sapiens Company is not Mars or Titan, but Venus.

The Science Division has done many simulations and found that gravity is the biggest problem facing mankind in exploring the universe.

If the gravity difference is too great and humans live in this abnormal gravity environment for a long time, it is easy for future generations to produce irreversible genetic mutations.

At that time, humans who have reproduced for a long time in extraterrestrial beings will be reproductively isolated from humans on Earth. This is something that the Homo sapiens company must take precautions against.

Therefore, among the other seven planets that can be reached currently, as well as a number of large natural satellites, Venus, with a gravity similar to that of the Earth, is the outer planet that humans can live in for a long time.

Mars and Titan are only suitable as industrial areas, mining areas, and bases for studying extraterrestrial life.
