Chapter 583 New Home and New Moon
In the second half of the planet construction, after the planet shell plates were basically stabilized, the space engineering team responsible for building the main body of the planet went to prepare a satellite for her.
Planets need large satellites to help stabilize the rotation axis so that the environment in various regions on the planet can remain stable, rather than continuous chaos and near-disorder changes.
Even if the earth has the moon, its rotation axis still shakes slightly, which makes the climate in the Earth's regression line show periodic changes in units of 20,000 years.
The Sahara region of Africa continues to transform from desert to green space every 20,000 years.
If there is no moon, this change will be irregular. Tropical, temperate, and cold zone areas will change in disorder over a long period of time, and life may become extinct repeatedly.
The moon is slightly not big enough, but the formation of natural satellites of this proportion is already an unexpected situation.
The moon is another early rocky planet, formed by the remains of the remaining wreckage after the collision with the earth...
Other normal rocky planets are basically impossible to have satellites as big as the moon. Only giant planets like Jupiter and Saturn can have satellites of the moon scale formed naturally.
This may also be one of the important reasons for the extreme scarcity of advanced lives...
According to the scale of the new planet built by Xu Xingchen for humans, the mass of the supporting satellites should be best to reach the level of Mars.
Other planets in the solar system, even Mercury, are a little smaller, and can be used but not enough.
In addition to planets, the largest satellite in the solar system, Io, is smaller than the moon compared to the Earth compared to the new planets of humanity.
In addition, Xu Xingchen does not want to use existing well-known planets directly to use them as satellites for built planets. Mars is because the new Mars and Venus will occupy the orbits of Mars.
So in the end, I chose to make one.
Making conventional satellites is much simpler than livable planets, and materials do not need to be carefully screened.
Just let the planet engineering ships absorb sufficient mass asteroids through gravitational interference, melt and polymerize them, and they can be done in one or two years.
By the time of the empire, the new planet built by Martians for Earthlings finally arrived at an orbit of 118 million kilometers from the sun.
The completed satellite also arrived at the same time. Under the guidance of the planetary engineering ship, it entered the orbit safely and steadily.
After years of deliberation and discussion, the names of these two new planets have finally been confirmed, which is really a big project.
The final result looks very simple. The planet is called the "new home" and the satellite is called the "new moon". It cannot be said to be ordinary, it can only be said to be uncharacteristic.
But this is what humans at all levels and industries have held many hearings, held many votes, screened and eliminated them at all levels, and finally decided.
Or it was the result of countless compromises.
Because these two names are very easy to understand and will not cause a particularly obvious difference in understanding, and people on Earth from the East and the West can accept it.
As for the name Gaia and Taoyuan, they all have subtle traditional cultural connotations, but this connotation is divided into regions.
Representatives of ethnic groups who do not recognize this connotation will reject and oppose similar proposals, and will eventually be eliminated.
Even highly anticipated names like "New Earth" are eliminated by targeted voting in the later stages of screening because of strange reasons such as "may cause the illusion that the earth is gone", "may form a deliberate contrast with the original earth", "maybe unable to form an accurate universal feeling after translation", etc.
Xu Xingchen understood this process a little, and once again couldn't help but sigh that humans are really particularly troublesome in some places.
The "New Home" and "New Moon" entered orbit, coupled with the final naming, made the earth lively for a long time.
After the naming is confirmed, the question of how to go to this new home has become the hottest topic on the earth.
At present, there is only one answer to this question, that is, through assessment, it becomes aerospace and takes a rocket ship from the Earth Alliance.
The rockets and spacecraft that the Alliance of Humanities headed to the new home set out at the time window after the new home entered orbit.
The first humans to go to the new home were eight astronauts, all specially selected over the past few years.
The gender consists of four men and four women, and they have formed four couples before departure.
There are two pairs within the Celestial Empire, and two pairs within the European and American whites.
Other regions and organizations have no chance to participate.
These only eight humans set out with the expectations and envy of all mankind.
Nowadays, humans do not have the ability to immigrate to aliens on a large scale, and even temporarily do not have the ability to immigrate to ordinary people.
Ordinary people can't go, and scientific researchers can't go either. They can only be specially trained astronauts with strong physical fitness and good mentality.
Ordinary people and scientific researchers want to go to their new homes, either continue to wait for the aerospace technology to become more mature, or they can only hope for the Martians.
When the new home was in orbit, the engineering team that the ship girl helped humans transform the planet had been formed. After contacting the Human Alliance, they set off for the Earth orbit.
Two 1,000-kilometer-class planet engineering construction ships, carrying more than 1,000 million-ton conventional engineering ships, and more than 1 million 100,000-ton unmanned engineering equipment.
When these things appeared in the orbit of the earth, they caused a very strong public opinion trend in the entire human society.
The two planetary engineering ships were so big that they looked many times larger on the ground after they stopped in the geosynchronous orbit.
All ordinary people can see them very clearly and feel their pressure very directly...
Most Earths are very curious about Martians and look forward to Martians providing more help to mankind, so they are very much looking forward to and optimistic about this transformation.
However, there are also a small number of humans who have an instinctive resistance to directly letting aliens come to the earth and directly interfering in the matters inside the earth.
It is believed that if these spacecraft were not here to help, but to destroy humans, the people on earth would have no room for fight back.
But these ideas are considered to be unfair concern by most people.
With the ability of the Martians, even if they do not inform the Earthlings and come directly to forcibly destroy the Earthlings, there is no way for the Earthlings to do so.
If the Martians wanted to destroy the Earthlings and if they wanted to seize the small broken ball of Earth, they did it more than a hundred years ago and would not wait until this time.
Instead of worrying about the Martians causing trouble here, it is better to expect that the Martians can help humans immigrate and speed up the immigration of new homes.
The Martian spacecraft, let alone the planetary warships, can definitely directly pull tens of thousands of people to the new home.
The subsequent development of this matter is like most humans expect, and the Martians have no intention of interfering in internal affairs of the Earth.
The equipment that helps the people on earth transform the environment seems to be unmanned. When they arrive, they are busy on their own and do not deal with humans at all.
Things that need to be contacted for cooperation by ordinary people in the local area are to let humans from the Earth Alliance come forward, and the Martians do not show up at all.
