Li Qingsong knew that even though this heavy spacecraft had such high kinetic energy, it was impossible for it to destroy the asteroid. The quality gap between the two is too big. But... it can knock the asteroid's orbit off track, so that it won't hit Venus! Although this method is simple, it is extremely useful. It's like a heavy truck that's out of control and can't stop on the Earth's highway. Since it can't be stopped, it's better to use another car to hit it. In this way, it won't hit something that people don't want it to hit. At this moment, such a space version of "pinball game" is actually being played next to Venus. The heavy spacecraft weighing tens of billions of tons slammed into the asteroid. At that moment, a fierce light was released from the impact point, as bright as the sun. Endless debris was released from the impact point, sweeping across the entire surrounding star field like a meteor shower, and many of them hit Venus directly. But they are too small, and Venus' atmosphere is thick enough. Its density is more than ninety times that of the Earth's atmosphere!
Even the Earth's atmosphere can directly burn up many asteroids, let alone the atmosphere of Venus. Due to the intense friction, these small pieces of gravel were burned up by the atmosphere of Venus before they could reach the surface of Venus and release any impact force. At this moment, the orbit of the asteroid was directly knocked off track, and it brushed past the edge of Venus, then rushed towards the sun without looking back. It is estimated that after a period of time it will collide with the sun and merge into one with it. The crisis for the Bluetooks was thus resolved. Li Qingsong's expression became increasingly serious. He knew that this method was useless. Even if I push ten or a hundred asteroids over here, it will be useless. Because Li Qingsong saw that the Bluetuk people had prepared at least one hundred of these super-heavy spacecraft in the orbit around Venus. They orbit Venus at a speed of about 10 kilometers per second, and when they are needed, they only need to be accelerated slightly, and it doesn't take long at all. Putting them in orbit and letting them orbit Venus is itself equivalent to storing a large amount of kinetic energy for them in advance. Li Qingsong's plan to destroy the environment of Venus by using an asteroid impact completely failed. But Li Qingsong knew that his overall thinking was not wrong. The environment of Venus must be made to deteriorate again, to a point that even the Bluetooks cannot tolerate, in order to win this war. The only way to worsen the environment on Venus is to send objects from the outside to affect it. The current failure is nothing more than choosing the wrong delivery object. So...what should I choose as the delivery? This new projection must first have the ability to extremely deteriorate the environment on Venus, and secondly, it must be impossible to intercept. Anything that can be intercepted will definitely be intercepted by the Bluetuk people.
What delivery is uninterceptable? Li Qingsong's hundreds of millions of brains began to work frantically at the same time. It seemed that there was no such thing as an uninterceptable delivery. After all, it didn't make sense that I could accelerate it, but the Bluetuk couldn't intercept it. How could such a strange substance exist in the universe? But Li Qingsong thought of it. There is a kind of substance that, when dropped on Venus, can cause the environment of Venus to deteriorate extremely, and the Bluetooks have no way to intercept it! This substance is very common. water! First of all, there is no way to stop the water. Because Venus is close enough to the sun, the sun's energy will heat the water. And there is no atmospheric pressure in space, so the water will be decomposed into molecular form. After existing in the form of water molecules, a considerable portion of them will have their chemical bonds directly broken by solar radiation and decomposed again into oxygen atoms and hydrogen atoms. But it doesn't matter, this is only a small part. Most of the water will still exist in molecular form. It is essentially a molecular cloud, a molecular cloud like interstellar dust. It's just a molecular cloud, almost non-existent. How can the Bluetuks intercept it? Secondly, after a series of complex chemical changes in Venus' atmosphere, the addition of water is enough to make its environment even worse, even ten or a hundred times worse than before! In the supercomputing base, Li Qingsong immediately built a model and began to simulate how much water would be needed to make the desired changes to Venus' atmosphere. After some calculations, an astonishing result appeared in front of Li Qingsong. 8 trillion tons! Taking into account various losses that may occur along the way, he would have to drop about 10 trillion tons of water onto Venus in order to make the changes he wanted in the atmosphere of Venus! The total amount of water in the Earth's entire atmosphere is only about trillion tons. About trillion tons of water created wind, rain, thunder and lightning on Earth, and created countless rushing rivers. Now, he was going to put water, which was almost equivalent to the water content of the entire Earth's atmosphere, into Venus. Where can I find so much water? Jupiter's satellites, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto, and Saturn's satellites, Enceladus and Titan, all contain extremely large amounts of water, and their total water content is even more than that of the Earth. But they are too far away. Not only is the journey long and the losses huge, but for water that exists in the form of molecular clouds, the solar radiation pressure is also a problem that must be considered. The radiation pressure from the sun will "blow" them away, causing them to dissipate in the vast starry sky before reaching Venus. You must find a water source that is close enough. Which planet is close enough to Venus and has enough water for its own use? Earth.
Only the Earth. The Earth is the closest planet to Venus. Moreover, there is a lot of water on the Earth. More than 70% of the Earth's surface is covered by oceans. The deepest part of the ocean is even more than 11 kilometers! The total water content of the Earth's four oceans is about 133 trillion tons, which is undoubtedly far more than the 10 trillion tons it needs. But no matter what means are used to pump approximately 10 trillion tons of water from the surface into space and then deliver it to Venus, it means an extremely huge amount of engineering work. And this will obviously have serious consequences for the Earth. Not to mention how to pump up so much water and throw it to Venus, even if I can do it, do I really want to do it? The earth is our home. The Earth gave birth to me and our human civilization. My compatriots have spent a long time on the Earth, and even I have countless beautiful memories on the Earth. It is not only a home, but also my spiritual sustenance. Even though the war with the Bluetuk civilization was so cruel, so intense, and so stressful, he always carefully protected the Earth and tried not to let it be affected. Apart from building supercomputing bases and necessary supporting facilities on the surface, we have not carried out any industrial development on the Earth. And...such a huge project is likely to cause the entire ecology of the earth to collapse. Do I...want to destroy the earth's ecosystem with my own hands? Li Qingsong thought silently for a few seconds and made up his mind resolutely. “If I lose the war, the Blue Turks will be even less likely to cherish the ecological environment of the earth. They came to the solar system just for predatory exploitation, and they will only make the solar system and the Earth worse! It's better for me to destroy the Earth's ecology myself than for the Bluetuk people to destroy it! Besides, once I win, I may be able to restore the Earth's ecology! The Earth's ecology can be rebuilt after it is destroyed. If I were gone, the Earth would be completely ruined! Well, do it! "
