Has anyone seen an apocalyptic movie?

At this time, the people in the shipyard seem to be in a movie. Maybe this movie will also add a cyberpunk style. The super offshore platform does not have any sense of decadence in the afterglow of the setting sun. Instead, it feels like it is still shining even in the dark night. That sense of calmness and security makes people really feel at ease.

It is said that the first super offshore platform can reach the designated Arabian Sea in just one week. This is a distance of almost tens of thousands of nautical miles. One nautical mile is about 1.8 kilometers. If you convert it, you will know how far it is.

So after calculation, it is more than hundreds of kilometers per hour. How much thrust is needed for such a huge platform and such a speed?

This thing starts at the 500,000-ton level, which is larger than an aircraft carrier.

This is still cruising speed, far from the maximum speed. The top speed even exceeds 300 kilometers per hour. It is simply flying on the water. Considering the actual working conditions, it is generally not possible to drive at the highest speed.

Looking at such a powerful propulsion capability, many people are speculating that if it is directly installed on a spacecraft, will it be able to reach very fast speeds? In fact, it doesn't work at all. This kind of thruster can levitate a large platform in the air and turn it into a real aircraft carrier, but it can only be used on earth. Because the principle of its action is still fluid power, it relies on pushing the fluid to generate reverse thrust to achieve the purpose of advancement or suspension.

But once you enter space, where does the air come from?

People have to save their breathing, and all they do is recycle air, and it must not be used for combustion.

That's why we need to develop an ion actuator, which relies on solar energy to convert electrostatic fields and electromagnetic fields to eject cations to propel the spacecraft.

But this is only limited to propelling some smaller satellites, space stations and the like. For deep space voyages, this thrust is simply not enough. The one led by Chen Xiao is called the particle engine. It is a real particle engine. It uses the force generated by the collision of particles in the super collider to push back the spacecraft. That's why it is called this name. It sounds more exciting than ion.

Particles can be particles of any element. They are smaller than atoms. More than 30 types have been discovered so far, including more than 300 types including resonance states. Each type has a certain charge and spin. Average life, charge. So the main types are neutrons, photons, protons, electrons and even a series of particles discovered in cosmic rays and high-energy nuclear experiments.

It can be understood from the description that particles come from a wide range of sources. There are rays everywhere in the universe. If two beams are captured, the synchrotron pipeline is started. When it reaches the critical state, it collides. There is energy, thrust, and even God particles. .

Most particles are unstable, and it is too difficult to peel off anything that is too stable. Today's experiments on earth mainly use particles radiated from nuclear materials as the source, and the main focus is simplicity and convenience. If you go into space and the radiation is insufficient, this can be a backup material.

If we could always encounter stars, the number of high-energy charged particles would be considerable, and we would no longer have to worry about raw materials.

However, to achieve this technology, the miniaturization of the super particle collider is the most basic prerequisite. Since the virtual world's computing power gave way to this project, people in the aerospace department have hardly slept, guarding the data every day, and trying to find simpler methods from the data to shorten the calculation time and also try to reduce the difficulty of manufacturing.

After practicing for two and a half months, Gu Yu took the initiative to contact Chen Xiao.

"It's done!"

"Okay!" Chen Xiao didn't care at all that it was four o'clock in the morning. He got up as soon as possible and took the special plane while understanding the situation at the scene through the biochip.

Chen Xiao only got a general idea and ordered: "Everyone should take a rest, at least take turns. You have been busy for so long, so you should squint your eyes first. When I arrive, I will just find someone who has taken a mandatory break to explain it to me. Everyone else will take a rest immediately!"

"we do not…"

"Follow the requirements, otherwise you won't be allowed to participate in the project!"

"yes!"

This may seem a bit awkward, but in fact it is also a mechanism to protect the brain. Even if Changtian Technology is engaged in scientific research, it cannot let people go without rest for a long time.

In Chen Xiao's view, staying up for time is useful, but it is also so useful. Inspiration is the factor that changes the world. If you don't get enough rest, where can you get inspiration? Therefore, after working overtime for such a long time, everyone must take a mandatory break and sleep for at least ten hours.

An hour later, Chen Xiao arrived at the Northwest Space Base, where a prototype of a small particle collider had been built.

The person who received Chen Xiao was a young man. He had just finished his mandatory break. Everyone else had gone to take a mandatory break. Apart from the security members, he was the only researcher in the entire base. In this case, it doesn't matter if he is a bad guy, since every step is accurately recorded.

This young man also understood what happened after receiving Gu Yu's information. In this era, sabotage is not cost-effective at all. Every step will be recorded in detail and can be copied. You will also be deducted points. It is not cost-effective.

"Mr. Chen, hello..."

"No need to be polite, please tell me a little bit about the situation. I'll get a rough idea and catch up on my sleep." Chen Xiao also took some time off from his busy schedule, and there was nothing wrong with getting up early and going back to bed.

The employee nodded, explained, and then demonstrated while talking.

As early as half a month ago, the material deduction ended. After that, the production department began to manufacture prototypes for experiments. However, the experiment did not go smoothly. Even if the deduction success rate reached 95%, problems still occurred.

Because this kind of project has too many details. If there are 10,000 details, then 50 details will be unstable, not to mention there are hundreds of thousands of details. There is no other way but to use the old method.

First, we divided the area and then narrowed the scope to investigate slowly. At the same time, we recorded and deduced the investigation process. Only then did we solve the problem completely two days ago.

When notified this morning, a continuous power-on experiment had been carried out and it had been running stably for more than 24 hours, and then Chen Xiao was notified by phone.

While talking, the equipment was fully activated. In this example, the collider is spherical and about six cubic meters in size. The vacuum pipes inside are multi-layered. Under the force of the magnetic field, the particle flow can continue to accelerate and eventually enter. Critical state, this process is similar to that of a tokamak device, but the difference is that different things are required. The tokamak device is to engage in nuclear fusion, and this is to obtain the reaction force of the collision.

When the device is started, the indicator light is fully illuminated and work begins within the collider. The experimenter began to add a fingernail-sized amount of nuclear fuel, and then closed the small cover door.

After a while, the numerical values ​​on the device displayed the acceleration and energy of the particles. When the two particle streams collided, the flow guide port on the other side began to eject an invisible ray stream, and the stress of the entire device began to be recorded.

"The power just now was not the maximum. If it were the maximum power, this device would fly out, and then the place would be directly burned through by the rays."

"Can't ultra-temperature superconducting materials also block it?"

"It can be blocked, but it requires the cooperation of the magnetic field, and then it is not easy for us to observe. After all, fluids will have the Bernoulli effect on the earth, so there is no blocking."

"Good job. Can it be loaded onto the spaceship?"

"There is still a little bit to go. We need to fix the corresponding launch system so that the spacecraft can fly in various environments."

"Okay, you guys do it, just tell me what you need."

"We want to allow us to go up and experience it when we do a test flight..."

"no problem!"

Chen Xiao walked out of the Aerospace Ministry base with satisfaction, looked up at the sky, and had infinite pride in his heart. What about the universe? Human beings finally have the basic confidence to leave their homes.

"Space! I'm here!" Chen Xiao yelled in his heart, and then started wandering around the aviation base. Days have passed here, and the construction situation is really good.

The various test sites are well planned and perform their respective duties. Materials, power, and communications are arranged in categories. When a certain node is reached, comprehensive assembly experiments will begin.

This aviation base covers an extremely large area. It is currently enclosed with more than 10,000 acres, and there are hundreds of kilometers of open space around it. Local management departments will also scientifically plan where people live, taking into account aerospace needs.

Near the aviation base, an aerospace city has been slowly built, which has a very rich composition. There are family members of base employees, people from ancillary industries, and a large number of service industries, including takeaways, express delivery, and entertainment. This area, which has been desolate for thousands of years, is now prosperous like a pearl in the desert, shining when photographed in the night sky.

After walking around for a while, Chen Xiao came to the spacecraft manufacturing department, where he was responsible for designing the spacecraft hull and conducting wind tunnel experiments, radiation experiments, and impact experiments.

It has to be said that the noise prevention work in these factory areas is very good. There is no sound at all outside, but once inside, the noise is very lively. The workers were busy wearing extremely high-performance noise-canceling headphones, but they didn't see Chen Xiao walk in.

"We will conduct an ultra-high-temperature experiment below. The temperature is set at 10,000 degrees Celsius! Control the nuclear power furnace and make sure nothing goes wrong!"

"What does it matter? In the worst case, I can just change my body."

"Shit! That's a nice thought. You've lost a few days of work, and I still have to go to work for you. Hurry up!"

The atmosphere of the staff was very relaxed and they got things done while joking and joking. This kind of relaxation is more conducive to performance, and blindly tightening will cause errors.

Chen Xiao suddenly thought of something after hearing their words.

"Hey! What are you doing standing there! Come back to your job quickly! The experiment is about to begin!" Suddenly someone patted Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao turned around, nodded apologetically, and walked aside.

"Ah! Mr. Chen! I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you who came to inspect the work!" The supervisor immediately nodded and apologized.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. This is the company's policy. The inspection cannot delay the work. I am not standing in the right place. You can go and do your work."

"Okay! Take your time here and look around. If you need to change places, let us know and we will guide you to prevent you from going to an inappropriate place."

"OK."

So the technicians went about their business.

After looking at it, Chen Xiao discovered a huge problem. Now that Changtian Technology has the opportunity of virtual immortality and the ability to cultivate life forms, everyone's work is... quite unrestrained. Safety details are not that important, even in industries with high radiation and high pollution.

Anyway, Changtian Technology will regenerate a new body for its employees. If it breaks down, just replace it with a new one, which will only waste a few days of work. After a few days, they will be a good man again.

The benefits of such an unrestrained working style are obvious, that is, fast progress, good results, and rapid progress in scientific research and production. However, the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, the cultivation of life forms is very common. Almost every key production department must be equipped with several sets of life form cultivation equipment. In many places, there are even more than ten or twenty sets.

Under such circumstances, Chen Xiao is not worried about money. This thing does not cost much. What Chen Xiao feels distressed about is the feelings of his employees. The body is gradually moving towards the point where it has to cultivate a living body~www.readwn.com~How painful will this process be? These are living people, not consumables! From a humanitarian perspective, Chen Xiao felt psychologically uncomfortable.

"Solve this problem? How to solve it?" Qu Ping's biology department once again has great work.

"Why are you so screwed? Turn the genes of tardigrades into injections or oral medicines, so that humans can quickly gain the abilities of tardigrades. Even if they don't gain all the abilities, they will be less painful. Besides, genetic medicines will be in the future The research and development direction. We cannot always use the method of directly cultivating living organisms. This is limited by the site, and it is destined to only be used in distant voyages."

Qu Ping also nodded: "Understood." She had also felt before that although the life-form cultivation equipment could adjust genes, it would be troublesome for everyone to use it. However, it is obviously not easy to come up with a drug that directly changes genes. It’s hard not to make a fuss about the gene chain, but to use various substances and elements to influence genes to express the characteristics you want!

No matter how difficult it is, we have to overcome it. Human beings will not always stand still. Besides, it is not necessary to obtain all the abilities of the tardigrade. In the relatively safe greenhouse of the earth, humans only need part of the abilities. Like Chen Xiao's requirements this time, the focus is on radiation protection and pollution prevention, and there is no requirement for genes that can withstand high pressure in the deep sea.

From now on, whoever does what job will be injected with the genetic medicine for that job. Of course, if development goes well, it would be even better if humans could acquire all the powerful abilities of tardigrades.

"The next step is to wait for the progress of ray capture technology and energy fields. With these two technologies, humans can begin long voyages. I'm really looking forward to it!"

Chen Xiao subconsciously rubbed his hands. The most difficult task of miniaturizing the particle collider has been completed, and deep space voyages can be expected! (End of chapter)
