How to move an object weighing 100,000 tons without damaging it?

Science fiction: How to use modern technology to move an object weighing 100,000 tons without damaging it?

The great ancient Greek physicist Archimedes first proposed the principle of lever in his book On the Equilibrium of Plane Figures and said the classic saying: "Give me a foothold and a lever long enough, and I can move the earth." Archimedes knew that if a lever was used, it would be possible to lift any heavy object with a minimum force, as long as the force was placed on the long arm of the lever and let the short arm act on the heavy object.

So, if you are given a ten-ton object, how do you move it without damaging it?

A careful friend may ask questions when seeing this: what material, shape, and location of this object? This series of conditions will affect the plan of moving it.

If this object is a solid steel ball weighing one hundred thousand tons and is on flat ground, then moving it is relatively easy. All you have to do is roll the steel ball up. But if you think more about it, our ground may not be able to withstand such a huge steel ball and may sink directly into the ground.

If the object is a 100,000-ton rock, then excavation work must be started around the rock, and the depth is determined by the volume of the rock. While digging, the workers must also provide a lot of support on the sides and bottom of the rock to prevent the object from falling in other directions. After digging to a certain depth, water is brought into the pit to fill the pit with water, so that the rock has a chance to float to the surface and then move it.

If the object is a 100,000-ton spaceship, then countless hooks can be welded on its surface, and sufficient hydrogen balloons can be tied to the hooks. Then carbon fiber can be used as ropes to lift the spaceship, so that the airship has a chance to move and rise into the sky. Does this picture look familiar? It looks a bit like the grandfather's house in "Up". If you think it's too troublesome to tie hydrogen balloons, you can also choose to use steel plates for translation, which may be much simpler. While digging the ground of the object, put enough rolling logs on the hollowed-out position, and then use a huge tractor to pull it to ensure that it can move, because rolling friction is much smaller than sliding friction.

To sum up, when faced with an object weighing one hundred thousand tons, no matter what material it is made of, it can basically be solved with the current level of human technology, and there are various solutions.

Moreover, moving heavy objects has never been a difficult task for humans. Stonehenge in the UK is a good example. Stonehenge was built between 4000 and 2000 BC. Thousands of years ago, humans were able to move stones weighing up to 50 tons and put them into certain shapes, which is really amazing.
