Wandering Spaceship in Deep Space Chapter 408: Great plateau

　　 Regarding this major earthquake, humans have not done a similar global experiment, or they are unable to do such an experiment for the time being, so there is no way to deduce the relevant data.

　　 Moreover, the development of marine resources by the Taipu civilization is still in a very preliminary state. If the marine resources can be truly developed, in theory, the lack of rare earths will be greatly eased.

　　"Secondly, in addition to a series of changes in marine mineral resources, there is one more thing." The geologist on the stage stretched out his second finger: "After the earthquake, due to the squeezing between the plates, In 150,000 hours, near the equator of this planet, there appeared the world's highest peak, and a large super plateau with an average altitude of up to 10,000 meters!"

　　 A satellite photo was shown on the screen. This plateau is located near the equator. Because of the high altitude, there is still a certain amount of snow.

　　Under such a high gravity state, the appearance of such a high altitude plateau actually attracted the attention of many geologists from the beginning. The planet with higher gravity should have a gentler terrain, but the plateau of this planet is higher than the earth, which is simply counterintuitive. But if this plateau is unusually young and was born artificially, then there is a more reasonable explanation.

　　 This plateau area called "Emilia" is located in 6 countries including Austria and Lai. Due to the violent compression of the plates, there will still be small-scale earthquakes even now. The altitude is high and the air pressure is too low, which is not suitable for the survival of the Taipu people.

　　 Therefore, this plateau is sparsely populated and has become the dividing line of various countries, and has not been really developed.

　　 But according to human eyes...

　　Zhang Yuan’s pupils were slightly enlarged, and an idea popped out of his mind.

　　 This is exactly... a natural rocket launch base!

There are five conditions to consider for the location of the satellite launch center.

　　 The first is that the lower the latitude, the better. The lower the latitude, the power of the planet’s rotation can be used. Launching a rocket near the equator, the initial speed of the spacecraft is large, and the fuel is saved, which can effectively reduce the cost and difficulty of launching.

　　 This plateau happens to be near the equator!

　　 The second is climatic conditions. Due to the relatively high terrain, this plateau has a dry climate with little precipitation and good air visibility. This planet, due to the vast ocean, is quite humid as a whole, and there are not many dry areas like this near the equator.

　　 The third is the terrain, which is open and flat, and the terrain is relatively high compared to the surrounding area.

　　 Fourth, traffic conditions. For the time being, this point is not in line with it for the time being. The plateau is still in a state of uncultivated land, and the traffic must not be able to keep up.

　　 Fifth, safety conditions. The satellite launch center must be sparsely populated to ensure safety after launch failure. Therefore, the launch base cannot be established near the downtown area.

　　Although the traffic environment is not very good on this plateau with an altitude of more than 10,000 meters, there is no doubt that it meets the four conditions...

　　 And there are other benefits. Some waterways in the middle have exceptionally abundant water resources and can build large-scale hydropower stations. Even the energy problem is solved.

　　The experts on the stage are already excited when they say this: "To sum up, if we follow this objective environment, our scientists have carried out a series of calculations..."

　　"The content of the calculation is, with human technology at the beginning of the 21st century, if a rocket launch base is really built on this plateau, will it be possible to push satellites into space and start a real space age!"

　　 The meeting room is very quiet, everyone is sitting tightly, waiting for this final conclusion.

　　 This conclusion is very important. If so many objective factors are combined, the Taipu civilization still cannot enter the space age. It can only show that earthquakes are likely to occur naturally.

　　 If the enlightener caused the earthquake, it should calculate the relevant "steps of development", so that the "steps" are not too high, making the low-level civilizations unable to step up. Otherwise, what is the meaning of this kind of help?

　　The expert didn’t sell anything, and came to the conclusion: “After discussion and analysis, we think it’s a bit reluctant, but with the technology of level 0.7 civilization, it can be done!”

　　 "Boom", the meeting room boiled, and there was even a slight applause!

　　 is a bit reluctant, and simply impossible, that are two completely different concepts.

　　 In other words, this "great" earthquake is indeed a probabilities of enlightening civilization, creating conditions for the Taipu people to enter the space age.

　　 It’s just that, as far as the Tap civilization is concerned, I haven’t found it.

　　This series of operations stunned Zhang Yuan. It was...too violent!

　　 He seemed to see... A very distant one hundred and fifty thousand years ago, the Enlightenment Civilization passed by here, and suddenly discovered that this primitive age civilization was impossible to enter the space age in the future due to its poor geographic location. .

　　 So they tried a way to trigger a strong earthquake, creating this plateau, turning the "completely impossible" into such a little bit of possibility.

　　 and then walk away in style!

　　 As for the Tepp civilization, whether it can enter the space age, whether it will use these created conditions, there is no need to think about it... At least the environmental factors have undergone a series of transformations, and it is no longer the kind of impossibly bad Up.

　　 This possibility is very high!

　　 Li Zhendong suddenly sighed: “It’s really an interesting civilization. I do feel that this civilization does have a certain kind of goodwill, not the so-called “organic harvester”... People live in the world. There must be some higher pursuits, although I don’t know, this kind of weird move counts as a higher pursuit... Anyway, it’s very interesting. Interesting should be regarded as the highest pursuit, right?"

　　 "Anyway, calling them'initiators' should not be too much..."

　　 Zhang Yuan couldn’t help taking a sip of water, calming his inner emotions, and then said: “Yes, there is such a forerunner in the galaxy, it’s really a lucky thing... but it triggered such a plate movement, At the level of human science, there is no way to do it, right?"

　　 Li Zhendong thought for a while, and calculated some numbers on paper with a pencil: "If it is forced to do~IndoMTL.com~ it will definitely be possible, but it’s a bit laborious, it’s nothing more than getting more nuclear bombs! I think about it, once Didn’t the Tsar’s nuclear bomb, equivalent to 50 million tons, translate the entire Eurasian continent by 9 millimeters? If hundreds of millions of such nuclear bombs can be produced, oh, this number is my ridicule... Anyway, it should be possible. Force the plate to move."

　　"But the use of nuclear bombs is simply too rough. In actual operation, it may lead to mass extinction of species, and even the destruction of the entire ecosystem... I don’t know how the enlightener did it. It’s a great power brought by technology. Ah!"

　　"I thought of a better way...Use multiple nuclear bombs to explode under the crust together to pry the plates, or the Enlightenment Civilization digs deep underground and causes an explosion in the mantle layer, and then produces a The chain reaction of the series. These are all possible." Li Zhendong said as he talked, discussing with other experts enthusiastically.

　　"There is a weapon, the continental shelf oscillator! The rapid release of energy in the earth's crust causes vibration, during which a natural phenomenon similar to seismic waves will be generated."

　　 Zhang Yuan didn't want to listen to their nonsense, and then turned to the scientific researcher on the stage: "Professor Lu, I have another question. Have you found any good mineral resources on this plateau?" If there is, it can be said to kill three birds with one stone. On the one hand, it solves the problem of the lack of rare earths. On the other hand, it can also lure certain countries to develop this plateau area that has been neglected."

　　 "Mining minerals must build basic equipment. Once all the basic equipment is in place, there will be no problem with building a rocket launch base."
