Chapter 416 The Mothership Returns to Earth
“Superconducting magnetic coil detection completed!”
“Superconducting line detection completed!”
“Ignition test!”
With the order from the operation center, the staff in front quickly checked the devices on site, and immediately pushed the main gate up after confirming that it was correct.
A mechanical click suddenly came from the central device, followed by a low roar. The core reactor used for testing was suddenly activated, and various monitoring facilities quickly obtained data from it. The staff Staring nervously at the data information displayed on the screen...
A few dozen seconds later, the operation center received a report that the reactor ignition test was normal.
“Are we being too cautious? The improved large-scale tokamak device in the Stuttgart Mountains has successfully transmitted power. These are very routine operations.”
Several senior researchers in the operation center scanned the data at this time and did not see any errors or problems. One of them couldn't help but said: "If you ask me, let's just apply the experience over there. Just go here.”
“Can this thing be applied?”
The senior researcher headed by him glanced at him and said: "We used conventional materials before. We are still using the same model as the earth. We use extremely rapid cooling to promote superconducting properties. However, many of the materials inside are made of... The new things on Xingxing's side are like the strong magnets on Mount Jyoti, which are called magic stones. When added to the nuclear fusion reactor, they replaced the original basic materials..."
" ...In fact, our test this time is considered a brand new type. The key superconducting material has changed from a high-pressure and low-temperature superconducting material to a room-temperature superconducting material. This is an extremely critical breakthrough! Today we also need to test whether this batch of room-temperature superconducting materials still has superconducting properties at extremely high temperatures!”
“The task assigned to us by the association is arduous. We must not give up on the previous successful experience! Don't be lazy, research on nuclear fusion reactors is a new challenge at any time!"
Everyone responded loudly, and even the person who spoke out before said nothing, just silently looked through the information, Everything the senior researcher who led the team said is true. The things that this group of people were transferred to study can be said to be the most advanced things in the world. Previously, on the Stuttgar Mountains of the Origin Star, the Red Dragon The association's nuclear fusion reactor has actually completed positive output, and its power supply capacity has reached a very terrifying level with the improvement of the entire reactor...
What they are currently studying is the original nuclear fusion reactor. An upgraded version, and in addition to testing various properties of room temperature superconducting materials, they also have an extremely important task to complete - reducing the size of the nuclear reactor!
According to the data provided by Pioneer Aian, the thrusters and various energy engines used by the Pioneer Civilization have eliminated the original fusion devices. Humanity's current technological level cannot catch up, so the best choice is It is to start to break through nuclear fusion technology along the lines laid out at the beginning.
In this regard, the blueprint structure provided in the invisible building discovered was a key help.
After unlocking part of the technology tree, the blueprint opened up the blueprint for the nuclear fusion reactor for the Red Dragon Association. It not only included the structural diagram of the large-scale nuclear fusion reactor, but most importantly, it also unlocked the blueprint for the miniaturized nuclear reactor. Blueprint construction.
The miniaturized nuclear reactor can be reduced to the size of a dining table. Its internal structure is obviously different from the commonly used isodigit thermoelectric battery. This type of fusion reactor itself focuses on usability. It can As the engine propulsion energy for new aircraft, its main focus is a powerful endurance and easy control.
A group of scientific researchers have a heavy task. They know that the association now has an urgent need for some scientific research results. For this reason, the Red Dragon Association mobilizes elite backbones from all over the country to continuously enter the Origin Star. Most of them have entered The various scientific research sites on the Stuttgart Mountains even made the Stuttgart Mountains a new scientific research holy land.
However, even if there is a design blueprint for the key technology, it will still take time to come up with it.
At present, the key nuclear reactor has completed multiple rounds of testing, and the positive output problem has long been solved. The next core thing to solve is to reduce costs and miniaturize as much as possible. For this purpose, the Red Dragon Association has transferred A scientific research team of 1,400 people was formed, which was divided into five core scientific research groups, striving to thoroughly study it within half a year.
......
President Flo's special plane disappeared over the airport, and the group of people below dispersed. The vice president of the association was walking and talking on the phone at this time.
"...I gave away a batch of synthetic room-temperature superconducting materials as well as some natural ones. I saw that they were as happy as if they were celebrating the New Year."
"The material doesn't matter. It doesn't matter even if we explain to them clearly how this thing came from. After all, we control the supply of core materials - without isomeric powder, they simply can't make this thing."
President Li had a kind attitude on the phone, "That guy Fro is really cunning. At first, he just wanted to use the land in the Far East to fool us. To be honest, I don't know about the place over there. I don’t like it. Many areas are not suitable for human beings to live in for a long time. They have been sparsely populated for so many years. Is it really because he said he has no energy to develop it? Is it because the ecological environment there is not suitable?”
Vice President! He responded with a smile, and then said to President Li: "I heard that the White Eagle Association has submitted multiple proposals to jointly develop the Origin Star? We don't care about the United Association's affairs?"
"What does he care about? Let him make noises."
President Li seemed to be a little interested in this topic, "It's not the first day those guys used the United Association to handle their own private affairs. Well, after many proposals were submitted and approved by the majority, didn’t they just pretend they didn’t see them?”
"We also pretend not to see it, and let the diplomats quarrel with them. We can speak more tactfully, but don't do a single thing."
The vice-chairman smiled without any hesitation. Objection, after he got on the special car, he thought for a moment and said to the other end of the phone: "Have you read the alternative plan we are going to announce next? My suggestion is to announce the super maglev train and build this thing Later, we can actually improve the transportation convenience, and we can also use it as a publicity window..."
The other end of the phone paused for a long time, and then the voice of President Li came out.
“The maglev train is indeed good, but the association has already built this type of project and even used it for many years. The association is already very clear about the advantages and disadvantages of this thing, and it may not be possible to publicize it. What a great effect. ""My idea is to announce the Nantianmen plan... How many space carriers have been built on the Origin Star?"
The vice president thought for a moment, and he was still concerned about this kind of information. The construction of the space carrier is similar to the aircraft carrier built by the association. It is a huge project that requires a lot of manpower and material resources. However, the construction of the space carrier is all using the same technology. The ones are modular materials pulled from the Pioneer manufacturing workshop. Skilled workers are not even needed. Blue Star's Fuxi AI can complete the rest of the assembly work...
But the size of Blue Star's portal However, these work were restricted. A large number of complete components were transported back to the Origin Star. Fuxi AI did not directly participate in the follow-up work due to various reasons. The Origin Star used all engineering teams, and has currently completed one The other one has been assembled one-third of the way.
"Only one. Including the original Tianwei, we currently have a total of two space carriers."
The vice president answered truthfully, and President Li snorted. Immediately, he asked a very interesting question - "Can the space carrier pass through the core portal on the Origin Star?"
This question stopped the vice president. When he was doing research before, I only noticed that the core portal was very huge after the last upgrade. Its height may be as high as ten floors, but the specific height is really unimpressive.
President Li briefly looked through the information in front of him, quickly found the size data of the portal, smiled and said: "According to the existing upgraded portal, we cannot transport the space carrier completely. If it needs to be forcibly transported back to Earth, at least one-third of the components will need to be dismantled, and the facilities on both sides of the portal will also need to be renovated on a large scale."
"It is indeed a bit difficult to handle. "
President Li hummed softly and said to the vice president on the other end of the phone: "In that case, the two space carriers that have been completed will stay on the Origin Star. Come on, one of them will be used as an experimental hull, and the other will be used as a combat readiness force. If possible, it can be modified in the future and turned into a starship..."
The plan was simply decided, and the deputy After the president hung up the phone, he began to assign the following staff to make corresponding changes. One-third of the space carrier that had been built was ready to be transferred to the earth. Before that, all the components needed to be transported first. To the other side of the earth.
If you take out any of the huge hull parts, it will be several times the size of a fan blade of a wind turbine. Fortunately, it is not a whole body. The portal can still accommodate it, which takes some time. It was transported on the same day.
The weapons, equipment and protective devices currently equipped on the space carrier can be regarded as a real dimensionality reduction blow for the earth at this time.
Because of the huge size of the aerospace carrier, and the rapid development of missiles and anti-air weapons on the earth's side, this led to the initial design of the aerospace carrier to focus on the application of protective devices.
The scientific research team on the Origin Star used the technology from the fallen spacecraft on the Origin Star, combined with some of the technologies provided by the Pioneer Civilization, to successfully construct a mothership active protection device for the space carrier - called It is the [Donghuang Bell] protective device.
[Donghuang Bell] The protection device is also called a force field protection device. It does not use a single form of energy for protection, but uses a multi-layer protection mechanism. It itself has electromagnetic field and pulse protection. effect. In multiple attack tests, surface-to-air missiles launched from the ground exploded directly without touching the outer area of the mothership, which perfectly demonstrated the power of the Donghuang Bell protective device. .
Of course, this kind of protection device is not invincible. Because it is a composite protection device, the entire protection system requires a large amount of energy. A general propulsion engine cannot drive such a huge amount of energy. Loss, even if the space carrier uses the latest version of the spar engine. This version of the spar engine can drive the space carrier to fly uninterrupted in the sky for more than ten years, but it cannot withstand the [Donghuang Bell] 】The protection system has been fully activated continuously for the past week.
Therefore, the aerospace carrier will only activate the conventional protection system, and generally use modern commonly used ship-based artillery to intercept. If there is a threat, they will judge which part of the Donghuang Bell system they need to activate based on the threat.
If it is really necessary to activate all the functions of the [Donghuang Bell] protection system, then I am afraid it will not be an ordinary minor problem.
Perhaps it is the stage where nuclear weapons, the top killer weapons, need to be used.
The transfer of the aerospace carrier was quickly discovered by the people here in Shanhai City. One-third of the aerospace carrier that was built still has a length of hundreds of meters. Although the height has not yet increased, But its extremely large size still made everyone who saw this scene feel physically and mentally shocked as soon as it came out of the portal.
Such a huge guy suddenly appeared in front of us, just like a small boat on the ocean encountered a huge group of blue whales!
The transportation work around the portal has stopped long ago, and now thousands of workers are running to move this huge structure, causing the entire Hongshan Base to become lively.
The outsourcing satellite that had been monitoring the Hongshan Base in Shanhai City also quickly captured this scene. They quickly passed the news to the Intelligence Bureau, and the Director of the Intelligence Bureau also held the just-printed The photo found their President Richard.
“What is this?”
President Richard stared at the behemoth that appeared in the photo for a moment. He asked the person in charge in front of him: “This is another example from the association opposite. What kind of monster was created? It seems to be hundreds of meters in size..."
"According to the comparison object at the scene, this thing is about 185 meters long."
The person in charge said calmly: "What is shown in the photo should not be everything. If this thing is completed, it will be at least 220 meters long. According to the intelligence, this is a new type of space carrier."
President Richard threw the photo directly on the table, stared at the person in charge, and said word by word: "Are you kidding?"
"I'm not kidding. "My thoughts, sir."
The person in charge took out a piece of information from his arms again. He unfolded it and read to President Richard, "...they call it '... Tianwei's space carrier, this thing is 240 meters long and has some kind of energy shield capability. Ordinary missiles and artillery are completely ineffective against it. Due to the size of the portal, it cannot be transported back to the Earth from the Origin Star..."
After he finished reading, he looked at President Richard coldly: "This is the message sent back by our people, and the data is true."
President Richard suddenly leaned back in despair: "What a monster... What did they get from behind that damn portal!?"
