2040.

The sun has expanded to the vicinity of Venus' orbit.

Venus, which originally had a strong atmosphere, became a bare planet under the sweeping of a close-range solar storm.

Just like Mercury before.

"Zero, when will Venus fall into the sun?"

Lu Yongchang looked at the holographic images at his desk and asked softly.

"December 10, 2042, Professor." Zero-spoken responded to Lu Yongchang's inquiry.

Lu Yongchang stared at the increasingly expanding fireball in a daze.

On December 10, 2042, Venus fell on the sun.

This is the deadline for humans to leave Mars.

Unlike Mercury, the impact of Venus falling from the sun is extremely huge.

There are two reasons.

On the one hand, compared with Mercury, Venus is closer to Mars.

On the other hand, as the smallest planet in the solar system, the average radius of Mercury is only 2,440 kilometers, while the average radius of Venus reaches 6,073 kilometers!

This means that Venus falls into the sun, which will cause a solar storm that doubles its power!

If humans continue to stay on Mars, the outcome can be imagined.

"Zero, where has the Heavenly Court plan reached?"

Lu Yongchang was silent for a moment and asked again.

A year ago, after the energy crisis was resolved, Lu Yongchang immediately made the decision and directly launched the Heavenly Court Plan.

After the launch of the Heavenly Court plan, Zero almost all of his computing power was invested in various factories.

As Lu Yongchang finished speaking, the holographic image in front of him suddenly changed.

The original solar system star map disappeared, and replaced by a picture outside the Martian spaceport.

I saw starships with a length of 1,500 meters neatly arranged in the deep and dark space.

"Professor, the Heavenly Court plan has been completed 63.8%. " Zero's voice rang out.

"As of now, 500 [Home] Nebula-class starships have been manufactured."

"The manufacturing progress of 500 [Taotie] Nebula-class material reserve ships has been more than half."

"250 [Golden Crow] Nebula-class battleships have not yet begun to be manufactured."

"The new flagship [Earth] has not started construction yet."

Lu Yongchang nodded thoughtfully. With the breakthrough in starship manufacturing technology, the original plan for Heaven also made corresponding changes.

Nebula-class starship is the result of the improvement of the first-class civilization technology tree.

In other words, these starships contain the peak technology of a first-level civilization.

In Lu Yongchang's plan, the starship will be divided into nine levels.

It is the nebula, comet, asteroid, satellite, planetary, star, white dwarf, neutron star, and the last black hole-level starship.

In Lu Yongchang's view, the starships in the Heavenly Court plan can be called nebula-class starships.

In the past, those phoenix birds and Xuanniao Starships could only be considered a transitional product.

If you have to count, it might be called a satellite-class starship.

"When is expected to be completed all construction projects?" Lu Yongchang asked directly.

Zero's response followed: "All construction tasks are expected to be completed in October 2042."

October 2042...

Lu Yongchang frowned.

Humans have only two months to avoid the huge solar storm caused by the fall of Venus.

As for the avoidance plan, Lu Yongchang had already thought about it.

After leaving Mars, the human fleet will advance directly to Jupiter.

At that time, 1,250 starships will "hide" on the back of Jupiter and set off for the Kuiper belt after the solar storm passes.

only……

"Will it be a little tight in two months?" Lu Yongchang frowned and asked in a low voice.

"Professor, time is enough." Zero quickly presented a series of calculations and deduction results to him.

"By calculations, we will arrive on the back of Jupiter a week before the day of Venus' fall."

Hearing this, Lu Yongchang's right eyelid twitched gently: "I hope so."

The office fell into silence again.

"Professor, there's bad news." Zero's voice rang again.

This familiar tone and voice made Lu Yongchang's right eyelid beat again.

"hiss……"

He gasped.

How long is this?

Is this thing so effective?!

"You said." Lu Yongchang reached out to hold his forehead and said weakly, "What's wrong with it?"

Zero's tone was very plain: "Professor, our hydrocarbon reserves have dropped to alert."

Lu Yongchang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then he realized: "Hydrocarbon? How could this thing drop to the alert value?"

The so-called hydrocarbons are nothing more than various hydrocarbon substances.

Methane, acetylene...

In addition to acting as fuel, these substances can also synthesize various chemical substances, which can be regarded as an indispensable raw material for modern industry.

According to normal conditions, under a complete industrial system, this thing will not be scarce at all.

For example, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide hydrogenation can synthesize methane.

"The synthesis rate issue." Zero explained softly, "After the Heavenly Court plan was launched, our consumption speed was much greater than the synthesis speed."

"All right."

There was a little helplessness in Lu Yongchang's eyes.

These raw materials, which are extremely common on the earth, have now become scarce.

"I'll find a way."

After saying that, Lu Yongchang fell into deep thought.

He subconsciously tapped his knuckles on the desk in front of him, and thoughts flashed one by one in his mind.

If it is on Earth, the acquisition of these hydrocarbon materials can be described as extremely simple.

Extraction from fossil fuels, or biogas tanks...

In short, there are countless ways to obtain large amounts of hydrocarbons.

But after leaving Earth, these methods won't work.

There is no so-called fossil fuel on Mars!

As for the biogas tank...

Now there is no such much organic waste in Mars City to make biogas!

After thinking for a long time, he decided to turn his attention to the other planets.

"Zero, help me open the solar system star map and mark the location of Titan."

The holographic images change quietly.

The relative positions of Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Titan were instantly presented in front of Lu Yongchang.

“Relatively good location.”

The moment he saw the holographic scene, Lu Yongchang's eyes lit up: "Zero, call Fang Xu and the others."

"Next, prepare to land on Titan!"

Titan, also known as Titan.

It is the largest of all Saturn's moons and the second largest moon in the solar system.

What’s special is that it is the only satellite with a dense atmosphere, and its surface atmospheric pressure is even 1.5 times that of the Earth!

(Io, Europa, Iopa, Iopa, Enceladus and Triton all have atmospheres, but the atmosphere is extremely thin.)

In addition, Titan's atmospheric composition is very unique. In addition to 98.44% nitrogen, there are also a large number of different types of hydrocarbons.

According to the detection, the surface of Titan with a surface temperature as low as -179 degrees Celsius has a large number of hydrocarbons.

This is why Lu Yongchang decided to land on Titan.

By then, the collection ship can even directly draw a large amount of liquid hydrocarbons from the methane ocean on Titan’s surface!

It is convenient and worry-free, and even saves the effort of compressing gas.
