The mass of Eris, discovered in 2005, was even 27% more massive than Pluto. Therefore, the International Astronomical Union formally defined the concept of a planet the following year. The new definition excluded Pluto from the scope of a planet and classified it as a dwarf planet.

Although Pluto is classified as a dwarf planet, humans have discovered many planets with diameters similar to Pluto. It can be said that although we have now turned nine planets into eight planets, for the entire solar system, what we know

More.

In fact, when we first divided the solar system into nine planets, it was entirely because we didn’t know the entire solar system very well. When we learn more about the solar system, we will also know more about the planets with larger diameters.

planet.

In fact, it is meaningless to talk about how many large planets there are in the solar system. The solar system is very large, and the scope of our current understanding is still very limited. I believe that as humans understand the space of the solar system getting larger and larger, we will find

More larger planets.

Because the entire solar system was slowly evolved from a very large cosmic molecular cloud five billion years ago under its own gravity. Since eight major planets have evolved near the solar system, what if they are further away from the sun?

There must be more planets in the universe. It’s just that we haven’t discovered them yet.

For Zhao Zhongyao, he can be said to be an astronomer now. In order to develop the moon city, he has learned a lot of astronomy knowledge.

The space exploration he is planning to carry out this time is not only to develop some tourism resources, but also to fulfill his dream of understanding the mysteries of space.

Also, Zhao Zhongyao knows that if he wants to explore the universe, he needs to be fully prepared. He has made preparations over the years. He has also designed a flying saucer spacecraft specifically for space rescue.

.

This flying saucer spacecraft uses brand-new antimatter reactor technology. It is the first time that he has used antimatter, the latest scientific research material, in his flying saucer spacecraft.

And this flying saucer spacecraft is also the most advanced and largest spacecraft he has designed. Although this spaceship is not much different from an ordinary flying saucer spacecraft in appearance, it is far larger than an ordinary spaceship in terms of volume.

This huge flying saucer spacecraft has a diameter of one thousand meters. The space inside is also very large and can carry hundreds of people at the same time. However, the spacecraft designed by Zhao Zhongyao is not a passenger spacecraft and is not specially used to carry people.

.

The UFO spacecraft designed by Zhao Zhongyao is mainly used for prospecting. In other words, the spacecraft designed by Zhao Zhongyao is used to search for mineral deposits in the universe. Of course, it is mainly for mineral deposits in the solar system.

Although the speed of this spacecraft has reached one million kilometers per hour, it can only fly in the solar system at such a high speed. If you want to leave the solar system and go to outer space, it will be very slow.

.

Because even if it flies at a speed of 10 million kilometers per hour to Proxima Centauri, the nearest star to our solar system, it will take hundreds of years. Obviously, in such a time, it is impossible to conduct outer space exploration.

Zhao Zhongyao knows that if he designs a prospecting spacecraft, it can only fly in the solar system. If he wants to fly further, he must use other high-tech means to design a spacecraft that can fly faster than the speed of light.

But even with the strength of the Feitian Group, it seems impossible to design a spacecraft that can exceed the speed of light.

Therefore, for Zhao Zhongyao, if he wants to carry out longer-distance space exploration, he needs to find another way and then design a spacecraft that can fly faster than the speed of light. Only then can it be possible for the spacecraft to fly out of the solar system and to Proxima Centauri.

Or Sirius or a more distant star system.

Of course, that is only Zhao Zhongyao's long-term plan. What he wants to do now is to make the spacecraft he designed can swim in the solar system. This is already a very remarkable thing.

After all, the only company in the world that can achieve the level of Feitian Group is Feitian Group of China. Apart from Feitian Group, there is no other company. Even the technology of country M is considered very advanced. But now they have

It lags behind China. Country M has not yet completed its moon landing plan. Due to their country’s economic decline in recent years,

There was turmoil. Moreover, their leaders also saw that in the aerospace field, the Feitian Group was already the dominant one. It had far surpassed their M country. No matter how hard they tried, it was useless. So, M country’s

Leaders have changed their strategy. They no longer have extravagant hopes that their country's aerospace technology can catch up with or surpass China's.

And the current people of country M also feel that their country is already far behind China in the field of aerospace. It doesn't make much sense to keep going like this. Therefore, many people of country M took to the streets to demonstrate and demand

National leaders no longer invest in aerospace technology. Instead, they should use the money to improve people's lives.

Therefore, over the years, Country M has stopped making progress in the aerospace field. The leaders of Country M have begun to turn their money to caring about the lives and livelihoods of ordinary people. Improving people's livelihood and increasing the employment rate have become a country of Country M.

Leaders, the most important problem to solve.

There is no need for China to make unnecessary efforts to compete with Country M. Zhao Zhongyao knows that what China has to do now is to continue to advance in the aerospace field. Let aerospace technology continue to benefit human society.

.

In fact, aerospace technology is a very important technology. But because this technology is a big technology, investment and output are seemingly incompatible technologies. In the eyes of ordinary people,

The country's research and development of aerospace technology is of little use. After all, these technologies seem to have little to do with people's daily lives.

Because under normal circumstances, ordinary people are still more concerned about the lives of their own family. But they don’t know much about the economic situation of the entire country. Also, ordinary people have no idea what technology is.

You know it. Everyone feels that technology is something related to people’s production and life, such as TV movies, computers and mobile phones. Only these things that the common people can use can be considered high-tech products. The development of these things is of great significance to the common people.

Say, feeling is very necessary.

As for aerospace technology, everyone feels that it does not make much sense for the country to spend so much money to do such things. After all, these things do not seem to be of concern to the people. These things have little to do with the people.

In fact, it is wrong for all of us to think this way. The reason why we think this way is because we do not know the relationship between big technology and small technology. We do not know the inner connection between aerospace technology and the technology we ordinary people know.

Big technology and small technology are in a relationship of inheritance and development. All small technology is actually inherited from big technology. Big technology starts from some important academic theories. Small technology makes use of the inside of big technology.

Some of them can be used to develop technologies for people to produce daily necessities.

Just like the mobile phones we ordinary people use. On the surface, it is just a small technology. It does not seem to be a big technology. But in fact, a small mobile phone can be considered a big technology. Because if you just look at a mobile phone, it does not feel like it is a big technology.

What a big technology.

But we need to know that during the use of mobile phones, space satellites are used to relay signals. Without satellites in the sky, mobile phones cannot communicate over long distances.

In other words, the small technology we know is based on big technology. It is big technology that supports small technology. Without big technology, small technology cannot survive. Big technology is like the sea. Small technology is like the sea.

Small river. If there were no sea, there would be no rain in the sky and there would be no small river on the ground.

Although mobile phones are daily necessities for us ordinary people, we need to know that every time we make a call, the thing that can spread the mobile phone signal throughout the world is the synchronous communication satellite hundreds of kilometers or thousands of kilometers above the earth.

It works. Without these communication satellites that are synchronous with the earth, our mobile phones would not be able to communicate over long distances.

And our computer, although it has become a high-tech thing that every ordinary person can own. It looks like a small microcomputer. But you must know that this small microcomputer was born with the development of aerospace technology.

.

When humans started researching computers, they were definitely not intended for ordinary people to use. Computers were developed for aerospace technology. Because aerospace technology requires the calculation of large amounts of data. Without computers, it would have been a very long process if manual calculations were used.

process. And people are still prone to errors when calculating. When machines are calculating, they can not only greatly improve the speed of calculation, but also ensure that there will be no calculation errors during calculation.

Because of this, big technologies like aerospace technology can drive some small technologies. If there were no big technologies like aerospace technology, there would be no small technologies that improve people's livelihood.

The same is true for the current popular artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence existed decades ago. This technology is used on space probes. It is being developed to be launched to distant moons and other planets.

The intelligent detection tool used above.

If there were no detectors developed by aerospace technology, there would be no artificial intelligence that is popular today. Therefore, big technology drives small technology. And the most representative of big technologies is aerospace technology.

Of course, Zhao Zhongyao is very clear about all this. He knows that the next thing he has to do is to head into the depths of the solar system. They have now built a moon city on the moon city.

The next step, of course, is to expand their living space to other planets in the solar system. To carry out the next step, we must first conduct an on-site inspection of the entire solar system so that we can understand what the solar system is like.

Star system. In such a star system, there are many large planets that have not been discovered by humans.

Although we already have a lot of mineral deposits on the earth, the resources on the earth are limited after all. And as the number of humans continues to grow, the demand for resources in the universe will also continue to grow.

When the earth can no longer meet human needs for resources, we must look to the entire solar system.

The solar system is a very large star system. There are eight large planets near the Earth alone. In fact, there may be even larger planets waiting for humans to visit in the distant middle layer of the solar system or the even more distant solar periphery.

Discover.

Since there are still many large planets in the solar system that have not been discovered by humans, it is necessary for humans to find all these large planets and then conduct on-site surveys to see if there are resources on these large planets for human use.

What Zhao Zhongyao wants to do now is to sort out the entire solar system. To draw a detailed map of the solar system. Then collect some mineral samples from the big planets. Then take these mineral samples back to Moon City.

Among them, analysis and research are carried out.

Since the solar system has a planet rich in minerals like the Earth, there must be rich mineral deposits on other planets as well.

Although until now, humans have not found any signs of life on other planets in the solar system. However, without a comprehensive combing of the solar system, we still cannot conclude that there are no traces of life on other planets in the solar system.

Zhao Zhongyao's solar system expedition has three meanings. The first is to develop tourism routes. The tourism business of Chang'e City should not only be limited to the moon, but also expand to the surrounding outer space. Let

Many tourists can set out from the Moon City to travel to other large planets throughout the solar system.

If Zhao Zhongyao can now develop another tourist route that travels the entire solar system, it will definitely increase Moon City's income a lot. After all, traveling in the solar system will definitely cost a lot.

Although it costs a lot, there are still many big bosses in the world. They have plenty of money, so of course they can travel around the solar system.

Zhao Zhongyao knows this very well. He knows that as long as he develops the tourist routes in this solar system, it will definitely increase the income of Moon City a lot, so that the investment cost of the entire Moon City can be recovered quickly.
