Volume 2 Test Site No. 1 Chapter 23 Earth Dome Project
The Great Wall is frozen in ice and snow.
Lin Xu was wearing power armor, lying on a recliner placed on the Great Wall, looking up at the sky.
Without the blue plasma beam ejected by the planetary engine pointing directly to the sky, the Earth's sky now seemed even quieter.
The dark sky is dotted with densely packed stars, forming a shining Milky Way.
It looks no different from the starry sky on Earth in the past, except that because the Earth has lost its atmosphere, the light from the stars cannot be refracted and the stars cannot twinkle.
At the same time, because of the lack of light pollution, the starry sky looks clearer.
At this time, the Earth has already moved away from the Proxima Galaxy and is traveling through the universe at one twentieth of the speed of light.
Moreover, as more and more curvature engines are installed on planetary engines and each time a curvature engine is started, the speed is still increasing little by little.
The direction the Earth is heading at this moment is exactly the direction that the human fleet was heading to ten thousand years ago after they set sail again from the White Star.
According to the data in the White Star Database, the target of the human fleet's long-distance voyage ten thousand years ago was another galaxy one hundred and eighty light-years away from the Proxima Centauri galaxy.
Because according to human observations and calculations at the time, it was also a galaxy with Earth-like planets.
So humans chose that place as their next stop.
So Lin Xu followed in the footsteps of humans and naturally wanted to go and take a look.
At least we have to find humans and take the next route.
The curvature engines on 100,000 planetary engines are expected to be fully installed in ten years.
By then the speed of the Earth will reach twice the speed of light.
That is to say, in about a hundred years, the Earth will reach the target galaxy.
Explore the next steps of humanity.
"Master, it's time for you to sleep." Miss Qiu appeared behind Lin Xu and reminded him.
That’s right, Lin Xu is going to hibernate again.
This time it is a hibernation period of one hundred years. If nothing goes wrong, we will be able to reach the target galaxy after waking up.
"Wait a minute, let me look for a while." Lin Xu looked at the starry sky and sighed, "What a pity, there is no blue sky!"
"If you want to see the blue sky, why not go under the ecological dome?" Miss Qiu suggested.
"That's not the real blue sky. Unless the ecological dome covers the entire earth, the sky is fake." Lin Xu sighed.
Then, Lin Xu was suddenly stunned.
Since there is no need for planetary engines to eject plasma to accelerate the Earth, if we can build an ecological dome that is large enough to cover the entire Earth, can we restore the ecology of the entire Earth and restore the Earth to its former appearance?
This couldn't be done before because planetary engines need to eject plasma to accelerate the Earth, so it can't be wrapped up at all.
However, the curvature engine accelerates the Earth by using space curvature bubble technology, which directly distorts the space around the Earth to achieve the purpose of moving the Earth.
Therefore, even if the entire earth is wrapped up, it will not affect the operation of the curvature engine inside.
Because the power of the curvature engine acts directly on space, it will not affect any object on the surface of the earth, even the huge ecological dome that covers the globe.
It seems to be really feasible.
But this must be a huge project.
But it doesn't matter. The autonomous machines are idle anyway. After completing the construction of the curvature engine factory and the anti-gravity factory, and installing the curvature engines of 100,000 planetary engines.
They can just start building an ecological dome covering the entire earth. It doesn’t matter when they finish it since they have nothing to do anyway.
So he did it as soon as he thought of it. Lin Xu immediately summoned seven intelligent quantum computers and began to calculate the feasibility of doing so.
The final result is gratifying, and it is actually feasible in theory.
When there is no need for planetary engines to eject plasma to accelerate the earth, wrapping the entire earth with an ecological dome will not affect the normal operation of the curvature engine on the earth's surface at all.
It just takes a little longer to build such an ecological dome that covers the entire earth.
It may take hundreds or thousands of years to build. After all, it needs to cover the entire earth, and the workload is really too huge.
The amount of work required to build 100,000 planetary engines pales in comparison to this.
If the earth is compared to a big watermelon, then building a planetary engine on the earth is at most like dotting some sesame seeds on the surface of the watermelon.
But now we have to wrap the whole watermelon.
The amount of work has more than increased a hundredfold.
But Lin Xu has plenty of time.
As I said, the autonomous machines are just sitting there doing nothing anyway.
The thought that I don’t have to wait until the Earth returns to the solar system before I can see the blue sky again and the branches full of flowers makes me happy.
Lin Xu couldn't stop getting excited.
Therefore, in order to discuss with the intelligent quantum computers the matter of wrapping the entire earth in an ecological dome, Lin Xu's hibernation time was postponed for a few days.
Finally, the entire plan was finalized and named the Earth Dome Project.
The Earth Dome Project first aims to build one million celestial pillars to support the entire sky of the Earth.
Each pillar needs to be 100,000 meters high, or 100 kilometers high, which is nearly ten times the height of a planetary engine, and the difficulty of construction is far greater than that of a planetary engine.
Then, using the Sky Pillar as a node, an ecological dome covering the entire earth will be built.
You should know that in the 21st century, the altitude of the Tiangong space station from the ground was only 340 kilometers.
It can be said that by then the entire earth's dome will be hundreds of kilometers high, having already covered the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, and part of the thermosphere of the earth's atmosphere, with only the exosphere not included.
Once built, the Earth's atmosphere can be restored to its former state under artificial regulation.
At the same time, orbits for artificial suns and artificial moons must be laid out in the sky .
Let the sun and the moon return to their previous operating patterns.
The entire project is expected to take a thousand years, or possibly even longer.
But just thinking about the scene after the plan was completed, Lin Xu couldn't help laughing.
Finally, the plan was finalized. Ten years later, after the autonomous machinery has completed the installation of curvature engines on all 100,000 planetary engines and completed the anti-gravity transformation on each other, the Earth Dome Project can begin.
So Lin Xu entered the hibernation chamber with a beautiful vision and began a hundred-year hibernation.
Although by the time his hibernation ended, only a small part of the Earth Dome Project had been completed.
Lin Xu still couldn't wait to see what would happen when the plan was actually implemented.
