Chapter 615 Interstellar Migration
In order to facilitate the management of the Venus colony, Wu Feng traveled to Venus in January of the sixth year of Xinghe on the technically proven Magnetic Class 005 spacecraft.
He was accompanied by 300 interstellar immigrants.
This is the third batch of immigrants. From now on, at least 1,200 people from Earth will migrate to the Venus colony every month.
In the cryostat of the magnetic-class spacecraft, Wu Feng and others were in a frozen state, even though the distance from Earth to Venus was slightly closer than that from Mars.
If Venus is closest to Earth during this period, a magnetic-class spacecraft would only need twenty days to reach Venus from Earth.
When transporting large quantities of supplies to Venus, they specifically chose the time period when Venus and the Earth were closest, saving 85% of the distance and fuel.
However, this recent period of time can only be encountered once every 580 days on average.
57 days later.
Wu Feng and his group were awakened from the cryogenic hibernation chamber.
He arrived at the synchronous orbit space station on Venus.
From the Venus synchronous orbit space station, you can see a clearly outlined "white cloud" in the atmosphere of Venus, which is the Yungong Base.
Thanks to the successive commissioning of mining bases, the scale of the Yungong base has been expanded again, reaching 28,000 square kilometers.
A group of interstellar immigrants who had just awakened were also looking at Venus with great curiosity.
There is a very conspicuous "white cloud" on the surface of this orange-red planet.
Wu Feng rested for more than three hours in the Venus synchronous orbit space station, and then took a group of interstellar immigrants on an airship to the Yungong base.
Inside the Yungong base.
At present, 15 special residential areas have been built inside, which are scattered in various areas of the base and can accommodate a total of 15,000 permanent residents.
After entering the Yungong base, everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
The feeling of being bound to the ground by gravity is really wonderful.
After Wu Feng said goodbye to the interstellar immigrants, he immediately went to the command center .
Deputy Minister Ivanovsky, who had been on duty for him for almost two months, stood up immediately after seeing Wu Feng: "Minister, you are finally here!"
"Thank you for your hard work. Let's hand over the work immediately!"
"Okay." Ivanovsky was already impatient.
The two of them quickly handed over the management of the entire Venus colony, especially the files during Wu Feng's hibernation, which were circled by Ivanovsky.
Two hours later, the two completed the handover, and Ivanovsky hurriedly logged off, preparing to take a month's vacation.
Wu Feng carefully looked through the recent work.
Among them, the mining base project that he cares most about has officially put 4 mining bases into service, which can produce an average of one million tons of steel per week.
These steels were then used in the construction of infrastructure, making the infrastructure of the entire Venus colony increasingly complete.
When he saw the inventory data, there were still nearly hundreds of thousands of tons of steel, silicon materials and carbon materials in stock, he ordered to expand the scale of the mining base.
We strive to increase the scale of mining bases to 20 by the end of this year.
However, before he could even sit down, Ali, who was in charge of the construction of the Yungong base, came running over.
"Minister, give me these immigrant employees!"
Wu Feng refused without even thinking: "Ali, don't let your imagination run wild. All departments need manpower now. I can't give you any manpower."
" But now we are really short of manpower for the second phase of the Yungong base project." Ali complained quickly.
Wu Feng waved his hand unmoved: "No, I will give you 150 people at most, and I need to arrange the rest to the mining industry."
"150 people?" Ali hesitated for a while, but finally agreed to this allocation plan.
However, Wu Feng did not let him leave, but took out a document and asked: "What do you think about modifying the construction plan of the Yun Palace base?"
"The plan proposed by Designer Huang?"
Wu Feng nodded: "Yes, what do you think?"
"I do agree with this plan, but this plan is only a preliminary draft and it must be completely filled in the future."
Wu Feng nodded.
In the holographic projection screen.
Venus is covered by a layer of floating islands, but this layer of floating islands is composed of large regular hexagons, half of which are empty and the other half are floating islands.
Obviously, the new plan is to save some time so that the floating island can be formed into a whole in advance.
According to the new design, the floating islands will form a regular hexagonal whole, then cover a hemisphere first, and then separate half of the regular hexagonal floating islands in the hemisphere and fill them over the other half of Venus' atmosphere.
Doing this can save some time.
Of course, the gaps between the floating islands will be gradually improved in the next phase of the project.
Until the floating island completely covers the atmosphere of Venus.
In this way, the Homo Sapiens Company will obtain a complete floating island continent.
Ali reminded: "Minister, although this plan can be implemented, the adoption of this plan has great requirements on the skeleton strength of the regular hexagonal floating island."
"I know that technology is not a problem. Recently, we have found a high-strength ferrosilicon material from the alloy materials of the six-clawed civilization. Not only is the material simple, but the production cost is also very low. Venus happens to have relevant materials."
The reason why Wu Feng dared to agree to this plan was because he had obtained some technology from the six-clawed civilization.
It’s not that Sapiens does not have materials that surpass six-claw silicon steel, but it’s a cost issue.
Many of those high-strength, high-temperature-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials require rare metals.
The Yun Palace project requires too many materials.
To cover the entire atmosphere of Venus, at least hundreds of billions of tons of material would be needed. Even if the alloy used as the skeleton only accounted for about one-tenth of the total, it would still be an astronomical figure.
If rare metals need to be added to these alloy materials, even if all the rare metals on the surface of Venus are drained out, it may not be possible to gather enough materials.
The six-clawed civilization also encountered a similar problem. In the process of exploring extraterrestrial space, many of the alloy materials needed to be doped with rare metals, and the six-clawed civilization, which was already short of resources, could not sustain such a huge consumption.
Therefore, they took a different approach and developed a high-strength alloy material using silicon and iron. This material does not require the addition of rare metals. As silicon and iron are materials with relatively high content in the earth's crust, it is still possible to collect tens of billions of tons of them .
Sapiens Company is gradually deepening its research on the technical data of the six-clawed civilization.
As a civilization with scarce resources, many of the materials used by the Six-Clawed Civilization tend to be base metals and base elements.
Only precision instruments and royal families are qualified to use those rare metals and rare elements.
This is something that the company can learn from.
After all, the resources of the solar system are not endless. As the Homo Sapiens company gradually expands, the resources that need to be consumed in the future will show exponential growth.
By drawing on materials from the six-clawed civilization, we can prepare for a rainy day.
A stone from another mountain can be used to polish a jade.
Now the Cloud Palace project of the Venus colony is benefiting from this.
Wu Feng also discovered this very practical six-claw silicon steel material from some recently confidential decrypted files of the six-claw civilization.
The two discussed for more than half an hour before Ali left the office.
Wu Feng went to the affiliated materials research institute in the Yungong base to inspect the technical replication of six-claw silicon steel.
