Chapter 139: Arrival at Jupiter's Rings

Chapter 139 Arrival at Jupiter's Rings

Li Jian was silent for a while after listening to this. Fan Ren’s plan currently does not have an exact end time.

But the matter is of great importance. Until this plan is fully and thoroughly carried out, the entire Mars will be completely physically isolated.

And their security forces stationed on Mars will definitely stay until the plan is completely completed.

"At the same time, you are also responsible for the transportation and supply work between the ground and the fire. This is extremely important. All electronic systems that may be infiltrated by artificial intelligence must be completely isolated throughout the process.

Therefore, our ships responsible for transporting supplies will prepare an extra data hard drive. Every time we re-enter space from Mars, we will power off all systems of the spacecraft and replace it with a new hard drive to start working again, while the old hard drive will be destroyed on the spot. "

Hearing this, Li Jian nodded and fell into deep thought.

He had some impression of the power of artificial intelligence. This thing could enter other electronic systems and persist through the Internet, electronic circuits, or even electromagnetic waves. It could also copy and hide at an extremely fast speed. Without complete physical isolation, it could not be prevented at all.

Although it is only the initial stage of self-awareness, it must be treated with extreme caution.

"Boss, I'm going to trouble you again this time."

Fan Ren knew that Li Jian would definitely not refuse. He looked at the boss in front of him who was concentrating on thinking with a guilty look on his face, and for a moment he felt inexplicably moved.

"Hey, what's the big deal? You have your responsibilities, I have my mission, and even the third brother is going to fight again for our common goal, isn't he?"

Li Jian smiled and patted Fan Ren's shoulder, then turned to look at Liu Jun who had been silent.

Liu Jun will step down as general manager of Xinghai High Voltage Radio Distribution and will then be transferred to the newly established space hub in the Mars-Jupiter geostationary orbit as the general manager.

Responsible for providing Mars with the building materials, equipment, supplies, etc. needed for construction.

It is foreseeable that this process will also be long.

"It's because the second brother has been around for so many years and doesn't have many capable helpers around him."

Liu Jun sighed, but a smile appeared on his face.

"That's it. There are three of us brothers. The second brother will be in charge of the Blue Star Hub. I will be in charge of the security of Utopia City. The third brother, you will be in charge of the Fire and Wood Hub. After this mission is over, we will have a drink together with this brother from the military department."

Li Jian has always been the eldest brother who takes care of his brothers. Even though Fan Ren’s status is much higher than his now, he still does so.

At this time, Liu Jun unbuckled his seat belt and walked towards the rest cabin behind him. Amid everyone's curious gazes, he came out holding a suitcase.

"There's no need to wait until the future to have a good time drinking and chatting. Just wait and see what happens!"

Liu Jun opened the suitcase with a smile, and the neatly arranged bottles of white wine inside immediately made several people burst into laughter.

"At home, Yurou won't let me touch these things. These are my treasures, and I brought them all this time."

As he spoke, he threw a bottle to each of the two brothers, and was so familiar with them that he even threw the invisible man Shan Wu to the side.

Fan Ren took the bottle of wine in his hand and he was really convinced.

However, he did not object. It would take them 10 days to reach the Mars-Jupiter stationary orbit, so relaxing now would not cause any trouble.

"Let's not talk about that. Today should be the boss's celebration party. Let's drink!"

Liu Jun took out another bag of peanuts, squeezed back into his seat, opened the bottle of wine and started shouting.

The spicy drink went down their throats, and their faces immediately turned red.

This time, even Shan Wu showed a rare smile on his face.

Five days later, Peregrine, trailing a flame, slid across the orbit of Mars like a meteor.

Eight days later, the Peregrine turned its bow, pulled its thrust engines to full power, and began decelerating.

Since Jupiter itself is the most massive planet in the Blue Galaxy, its mass is so high that it is times the total mass of all the other planets in the Blue Galaxy.

If we talk about the blue star alone, we need 1321 of them to be comparable to it. It is precisely because of its huge mass that the gravitational force it brings is also extremely great.

The Peregrine Falcon had to start decelerating maneuvers two days in advance.

Otherwise, if you continue at this speed, you will be driven straight into its body due to its huge gravitational force.

And Jupiter itself is a gas planet.

It contains huge amounts of hydrogen and helium, as well as other material elements that have not yet been discovered by humans.

But even so, these hydrogen and helium alone are enough for human development to enjoy for countless years.

However, as I said before, due to its huge gravitational force, there is currently no ability to develop it.

But the outer part is different. Jupiter has a planetary ring composed of ring-shaped materials with a width of 3 kilometers.

This is the first target of the Peregrine Falcon.

In his conjecture, these ring-shaped materials contain a large amount of praseodymite, and should also contain the same huge amount of solid water ice as the Saturn rings.

Not only that, among the dozen or so satellites above Jupiter, there is also an extraterrestrial satellite that is regarded as a treasure by humans.

Europa.

According to existing exploration, Europa is a satellite with abundant water resources and a size comparable to that of the moon.

And there is one point that Fanren particularly values.

Europa is similar to the Moon, in that it is a tidally locked satellite gravitationally locked to Jupiter.

One side always faces Jupiter, while the other side always faces away.

At the same time, because of its extremely thin atmosphere formed by water vapor, this thin atmosphere is simply unable to block the raging solar wind.

Fan Ren speculated that there was a large amount of helium-3 on the back of the object.

This is also an important source of fuel for nuclear fusion.

In addition, it is a satellite that contains a large amount of water resources. Once this hypothesis is confirmed, Europa will completely replace the moon and the blue planet and be regarded as the core energy source for human development.

This is why Fanren wants to build a new space hub in orbit above Mars and Jupiter.

In the future, a huge industrial area for ore processing, spacecraft construction, and energy production will be formed in this space hub.

As for the space hub above the earth, Fanren is more inclined to allow humans to live there, and to rent it to other high-tech companies for space experiments.

Two days later, the spacecraft's speed had slowed down to the same speed as Jupiter's rings.

Inside the cockpit, the four people all looked at the huge planet in front of them that occupied all their sight.

Jupiter.

This is a planet that appears to have a mixture of colors on the surface, and a huge red spot can be seen with the naked eye, which occupies about 1/10 of its size. This is a huge hurricane climate phenomenon.

This is also the most massive climate phenomenon observed by humans so far.

Its diameter is so large that it can even encompass the entire blue planet, which is unimaginable.

Fan Ren slowly withdrew his gaze and looked towards the rings of Jupiter not far away, which could now be observed with the naked eye.

At this time, the speed of Peregrine is basically equal to the rotation speed of Jupiter's rings around Jupiter, so it looks as if it is still outside.
