In the cold and lonely asteroid belt, 667 spacecraft fly synchronously with Ceres within a range of about 500 kilometers above Ceres, keeping a relatively static state, just like Ceres' bodyguards.

Afterwards, 16 spaceships left the fleet and flew towards Ceres. Among the 16 spaceships, 8 were the "Starry Sky III" with a length of 5 kilometers, and 8 were the "Tiangong II" with a length of 4.3 kilometers. , These crystallizations of human technology, even compared with Ceres, which has a diameter of 950 kilometers, will not appear too small.

After 2 minutes, all 16 spacecraft arrived at the designated location and hovered at a height of 30 centimeters above the ground of Ceres.

The hatch opened, and astronauts and intelligent robots set foot on the land of Ceres. It is a desolate world just like the moon. The only difference is that you can see a lot of ice here, and you can even see liquid water. Liquid water, energy sources and certain chemical components (carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus and sulfur, etc.) are the three basic conditions for the existence of life. In fact, when the spacecraft of the future technology company explored Ceres, it was found that Ceres, like Mars, also has microorganisms. However, even if there are intelligent creatures here, as long as they can't beat the earthlings, they can't stop the earthlings from destroying their homes! When aliens visit Earth, humans may suffer the same fate!

"Finally came to Ceres again!"

Looking at the desolate world in front of him excitedly, Wang Chen muttered to himself, "It's also the last time! Soon, there will be no Ceres anymore!"

The last time he came to Ceres, Wang Chen’s spacecraft was still only the 100-meter-long "Future", but this time, it was the "Starry Sky III" with a length of 5 kilometers. Not only has the size increased, but the power has also increased countless times. There are 12 large-scale nuclear fusion atomic furnaces on the "Starry Sky III" to provide power. When the power is fully turned on, it can output up to 21 million tons of thrust! The thrust of the "Starry Sky IV" under construction can reach a terrifying 50 million tons!

Some people may say that compared to the 9.43 billion tons of Ceres, the thrust of tens of millions of tons seems insignificant, and it is not enough to shake Ceres. However, there is a big difference between space and the earth, that is, in space No air resistance and friction! On the earth, an object will only move if the force acting on it exceeds a critical value; while in space, no matter how small the force is, even 1 gram can make a planet move, but you use The amount of force determines the acceleration of the planet, which can be explained by F=ma, where m is the inertial mass, which is the inherent property of each object, which always exists and prevents the state of motion of the object from changing. and a is the acceleration.

Therefore, this fleet is fully capable of shaking Ceres, and it can be calculated.

The thrust output of 667 spacecraft is about 1.37 billion tons, and the fleet is preparing to install 1,000 nuclear fusion propulsion devices on Ceres. The thrust output of these devices is about 1.5 billion tons,

A total of 2.87 billion tons, this huge force acts on Ceres. Under ideal conditions, the acceleration is about 3 parts per billion, which can move Ceres about 2 meters after 10 hours. Of course, this is only an ideal situation, without considering other factors.

"Start working!"

Wang Chen stretched his body, and then commanded hundreds of intelligent robots behind him, carrying equipment, to the calculated locations to install nuclear fusion propulsion devices. These locations are the best installation locations calculated by supercomputers, allowing nuclear fusion to propel The function of the device is brought into full play.

It took two full days of work, and 1,000 nuclear fusion propulsion devices have just been installed! It is worth mentioning that these 1,000 nuclear fusion propulsion devices are actually 1,000 nuclear bombs. If something goes wrong, Ceres will hit the earth instead of Mars, and these nuclear bombs will be detonated, and the fleet will also be at the same time. Shoot Ceres, destroy Ceres, and at least ensure that Ceres will not hit the earth!

"Done and call it a day!"

Wang Chen and other astronauts took crazy photos before boarding the spacecraft. There is no doubt that these photos will become out-of-print materials in the future!

After a while, the 16 spacecraft returned to the formation of the fleet and flew synchronously with Ceres.

"Let's start the second step of the plan! Release the nano-carbon material network!"

Inside a "Tiangong II" spaceship, Yang Rui calmly gave instructions.

Small aircraft fly out from each spacecraft, and each aircraft carries a huge nano-carbon material net, and these nano-carbon material nets will form ten sheets in space, enough to cover Ceres. At that time, all spaceships will work together to pull the super-giant carbon nanomaterial network, and then cooperate with the thrust of the nuclear fusion propulsion device to make reasonable use of the gravity of the sun and planets to turn Ceres, the huge " Express" to Mars.

In the dark space, intelligent robots are busy one by one. It took three days to form ten super-giant nano-carbon material nets. The mesh of these nets is more than 5 kilometers, and the diameter of each rope It is 2 meters thick, and the consumption of nano-carbon materials is an astronomical figure, and the cost of carbon nano-materials is more expensive than gold of the same quality, which means that future technology companies have almost unlimited nuclear fusion energy, otherwise it is really useful Sorry.

After ten ultra-giant nano-carbon material nets were completed, they were superimposed on each other, and then connected to 667 spaceships with ropes made of nano-carbon materials. The diameter of these ropes was more than 4 meters and the length was more than 150 kilometers. Fei!

"Your Excellency Commander, all the preparations have been completed and can begin."

"Start to implement the third step plan."

Yang Rui heard the report from the artificial intelligence on the spacecraft and calmly gave the order.

"It's about to start!"

On every spaceship, the astronauts couldn't help being a little excited and nervous. This time, failure is not allowed!

All the spaceships changed their directions and speeds at the same time, dragging a superimposed large net, and flew towards Ceres. The speed of the spaceships was not fast, and they only approached Ceres after two hours.

"It must be successful! It must be successful!"

When Dawang approached Ceres, everyone was praying in their hearts!

At the same time, on Earth, Zhang Wei also put down the work at hand, waiting patiently for the result of this matter. Of course, due to the delay in communication, even if it is successful, he will have to receive good news in 15 minutes.

"The net is up!"

Everyone held their hearts tightly, and the next thing was the most critical moment.

All the spacecraft continued to move forward. At this time, the nuclear fusion on the spacecraft did not output full power, but only flew at a relative speed of 50 meters per second.

boom!

The next moment, all the ropes were tightened, and all the spaceships began to tremble violently and slow down. In just a few tenths of a second, under the action of Ceres, the speed was reduced by 50 meters per second, keeping relative to Ceres. still. For each spacecraft, the stress generated by this process is as high as millions of tons. If the quality of the spacecraft is flawed, it will be pulled apart in an instant! Fortunately, the spacecraft was designed with this problem in mind, and the quality has been strictly controlled during the production process, so that the spacecraft is now safe and sound.

"Increase the output power and increase the output by 2% per minute."

"Pay attention to the status of the spacecraft."

Yang Rui calmly gave the order.

"Output power 5%!"

"Output power 20%!"

Ceres still seems to be orbiting according to the established orbit, and nothing has changed! Of course, this is just an appearance. In fact, it has changed, but it is so small that it cannot be measured.

"Output power 83%!"

At this time, the quantitative change led to a qualitative change, and Ceres began to tremble, and the network of nano-carbon materials was deeply drawn into the surface of the planet, making Ceres look like a broken mirror, with deep cracks everywhere.

"Boom...boom..."

Ceres wailed in pain, trembled more and more violently, and its rotation speed became slower and slower.

The force is mutual, and Ceres has been subjected to a huge pulling force, and the spaceships that are pulling the nano-carbon material net are also subject to the same force. Every spaceship is shaking violently like Ceres, and the astronauts can all Hearing the wailing of steel, at this moment, they couldn't help but praise the company's product quality countless times! Even with such a toss, the spaceship still has no problems!

"The output power is 90%!"

At this time, everyone cheered, because they had achieved initial success in stopping the rotation of Ceres.

"Start the nuclear fusion propulsion device, and the output power will increase at a rate of 5% per minute."

Yang Rui issued an order to the artificial intelligence. The reason why the nuclear fusion propulsion device is activated now is because it is difficult for the nuclear fusion propulsion device to function when Ceres rotates.

"The spaceship output power is 100%!"

"The output power of the nuclear fusion propulsion device is 100%!"

...

After 10 hours, everyone jumped up excitedly, because with their unremitting efforts, Ceres finally deviated from the original orbit by 0.3 meters, and under ideal circumstances, this data should be 2 meters. The reason why there is such a large deviation is that Ceres is also subject to the gravitational pull of the sun and planets.

In fact, in the solar system, the greatest force is actually the gravity of the sun.

The mass of the sun is 99.86% of the total mass of the entire solar system, which means that almost the mass of the entire solar system is concentrated on the sun, so the sun has a strong gravitational force, allowing all the planets in the solar system to move around it. In addition to the sun, Jupiter and Mars, two planets close to Ceres, also have a huge gravitational pull on Ceres.

Compared with the gravitational pull of the sun, Jupiter, and Mars on Ceres, the force exerted by the fleet on Ceres is actually insignificant, otherwise it would not have taken 10 hours for Ceres to finally deviate from its original orbit by 0.3 meters. You know , In 10 hours, Ceres has flown 640,000 kilometers in orbit!

The scientists who participated in the Mars transformation plan all have real materials. Of course, they would not talk about moving Ceres apart from gravity. That is completely a fantasy!

In fact, in the plan, the role of the fleet is to make Ceres out of its fixed orbit and pull Ceres towards the inner ring of the solar system. In this way, the fragile balance of Ceres is broken, and Ceres will be in the sun, Mars, Earth, Under the gravitational force of Venus and other celestial bodies, they continue to fly towards the inner ring of the solar system, and what the fleet has to do is to constantly adjust the orbit of Ceres to ensure that Ceres will collide with Mars instead of colliding with the earth or other celestial bodies!

Of course, this is easier said than done. To do this, we must accurately calculate various factors such as the orbit and gravity of each planet in the solar system, so that the collision probability between Ceres and Mars can reach 100%! Not only that, but even the details of the impact speed, time, angle, etc. must be accurately calculated! To this end, the Future Technology Company prepared a total of sixty state-of-the-art supercomputers for scientists, and calculated for several months.

After another 15 hours, under the gravitational force of the sun, Mars and other celestial bodies, as well as the action of the fleet, Ceres moved a certain distance to the inner ring of the solar system. At this time, it is impossible for Ceres to return to its original orbit. With a completely new orbit, it is possible to fall into the sun, it may hit Mars, and it may hit the earth.

"Calculating the new orbit of Ceres, and the probability of a collision with Mars."

Inside the "Tiangong II" spacecraft, Yang Rui gave instructions to the artificial intelligence.

"Commander, the new orbit of Ceres is the following elliptical orbit, and there are 4 intersections with the orbit of Mars. It is expected that at 9:13:24 am on October 11, 2023, Ceres will collide with Mars, collide The probability is 98.32%."

While the artificial intelligence was speaking, the virtual screen in front of Yang Rui displayed relevant pictures. After watching it, Yang Rui frowned slightly. The probability was only 98.32%. Long time to make track adjustments.

"Give a solution, and make sure the probability of collision reaches 100%."

Yang Rui said in a deep voice.

"Okay, Commander.

Step 1: The fleet adjusts its direction to the direction of the sun, and the output thrust is reduced to 1.23 billion tons, which lasts for 73 minutes.

Step 2: The fleet adjusts its direction to the direction of Mars, with an output thrust of 1.55 billion tons for 20 minutes.

..."

After constant adjustments, Yang Rui finally got a satisfactory answer, "...It is estimated that at 13:22:15 on October 10, 2023, Ceres will collide with Mars, and the probability of collision is 100%. When the collision occurs, the speed of Ceres And the angle of impact meets the requirements."

"Haha! It worked! It worked..."

When Yang Rui announced the news, everyone in the fleet was excited!

About 15 minutes later, Zhang Wei, who was far away on the earth, also received this good news. Along with this news, there were also relevant data such as the speed and orbit of Ceres at this time. After calculating the data, Beidou gave an affirmative answer after a while, "Boss, the calculation of the fleet is correct." It is worth mentioning that Beidou was connected through a wireless signal just now and has reached 52 quanta. Only a quantum computer with 100 bits can get the result so quickly.

Hearing Beidou's answer, Zhang Wei couldn't help but a bright smile appeared on his face. The successful completion of Ceres means that his proposed Mars transformation plan has basically succeeded!

At the same time, many people cheered in the command center of the moon, the future technology company and other places. The Mars transformation plan is basically certain to be a success!

The capital, Zhongnanhai, the head of the country and other state leaders also laughed out loud regardless of their image. They seemed to have seen the 87.58 million square kilometers of land on Mars. How many people can be raised on such a large land! The population is still too small, we must increase the population, ten billion is not too much! (To be continued.)
