Preliminary Draft Tentatively Finalized

With a preliminary plan for the floating modules in place, everyone struck while the iron was hot and began discussing the design of Venus's industrial system.

Zhang Guoxue, a researcher specializing in Venus's atmosphere, began by laying the groundwork. "First, the main component of Venus's atmosphere is carbon dioxide, accounting for roughly 96.5%, followed by nitrogen at around 3.5%."

As he spoke, he brought up a chart showing the composition of Venus's atmosphere:

"Don't assume that nitrogen can be ignored just because it makes up only 3.5% of Venus's atmosphere. In fact, the total amount of nitrogen in Venus's atmosphere is about four times that of Blue Star's atmosphere."

Another researcher added, "Based on the total nitrogen reserves in Venus's atmosphere, our N-series fuels will become the mainstream fuel for Venusian spacecraft."

Jiang Feng, head of the Venus Exploration Bureau, spoke up upon hearing this. "In that case, an N30 Fuel production plant must be included among the industrial projects of the floating city."

"Yes." Zhang Guoxue nodded.

From the atmospheric composition chart, it could be seen that apart from carbon dioxide and nitrogen, the other components of Venus's atmosphere, in descending order of abundance, were sulfur dioxide, argon, water vapor, carbon monoxide, helium, and neon.

In terms of development value, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, helium, and water vapor were highly valuable.

Substances like sulfur dioxide, on the other hand, had little use for the time being.

After all, Venus's nitrogen reserves alone showed just how enormous its reserves of carbon dioxide and other substances were.

Carbon, meanwhile, had far more applications in nanomaterials than sulfur, argon, neon, and the like. The Federation could extract carbon dioxide from Venus's atmosphere and refine vast quantities of carbon.

The carbon could then be used to synthesize basic materials such as graphene, carbon fiber,
