The Return of the Black Technology of Immortal World

Although the rocks split from the asteroid are not essentially different from other meteorites in the universe, a large mass of metallic material with unique spectral characteristics was found in the core of the asteroid.

We all know that the element with the largest atomic weight that can be found on Blue Star is plutonium, a highly toxic nuclear raw material, which is a radioactive element at position 94 on the periodic table of elements.

Further down, there are twenty-four radioactive elements that do not exist on Blue Star, but are synthesized in the laboratory.

These elements include metals and non-metals, and all of them are radioactive. For a large part of them, the half-life is measured in milliseconds.

Although these man-made elements have been around for a short time, their characteristics have been recorded. The spectrum discovered now is definitely not the kind that has been seen before.

So the spacecraft prepared to load back this small metal core with a mass of more than 10,000 tons, and was waiting for the moment it was completely exposed by the asteroid fragments.

Therefore, so far, this spacecraft cannot be counted on for the time being. Even if it is completely unmanned for a million kilometers, there is no need to worry about the impact of acceleration on the human body. However, due to the special nature of the force field engine, it also needs to go through After a long period of acceleration, he could return to the Moon Palace Base within a few days.

However, it still needs to install the core, and the entire meteorite group needs to be spread out a little more, so the delay will be at least ten days.

Although it is not impossible to make this process faster, for example, by throwing a few missiles into the asteroid, the power of the explosive explosion can be used to speed up the separation process.

Although in a vacuum, the power of the explosive explosion will be greatly weakened and it will not cause a shock wave in the air, it is only the gas generated by the explosive itself and the driving force generated by the prefabricated fragments.

Although these forces are small, if they are in large numbers, they can also have a great effect.

It's a pity that since Yang Qing and Xiao Ai have the protection of the protective shield, they no longer like Blue Star's most widely used weapon.

After all, in the vast vacuum of the universe, even nuclear bombs like Big Ivan are of little use, let alone missiles with ordinary charges like this.

However, the concept of a missile is not wrong, even if it does not have the power of a conventional rocket engine, it just uses electromagnetic ejection to launch projectiles.

Although the shells fired by the electromagnetic gun are extremely fast, even if they cannot reach the speed of the shells that shattered the asteroid with one blow, they can still reach speeds of tens or hundreds of kilometers per second.

Such a speed naturally has no room for control within the scope of Blue Star, but on a cosmic scale, it appears to be extremely slow. Force field thrusters can be used to control it to a certain extent.

Moreover, the base also has the ability to use space wave communication, which basically has no delay and makes it easier to control the artillery shells.

Strictly speaking, such artillery shells can no longer be called missiles, but can only be regarded as controllable artillery shells.

There is also no opponent in the solar system that is worthy of Yang Qing's full strength. Relying only on the electromagnetic gun and the laser cannon that have not been put into use, it is completely capable of suppressing the entire Blue Star in outer space, and there is no need for more powerful weapons.

Therefore, there are no gunpowder weapons on this spacecraft at all, so for the time being, we can only slowly wait for the asteroid to completely disperse, and then collect the core.

Some people may say that the universe is so big and there are countless such asteroids, why do we have to stick to this core and delay the important cooperation between Yang Qing and China.

However, as we know, although there are many asteroids, most of them are rocky planets with no characteristics. At best, they only contain metals such as copper and iron, and even the content of precious metals such as gold and silver is small. Very few.

Moreover, this brand-new element can not only enrich Blue Star's physical and chemical knowledge in theory, but also in practice, it can obtain a stable heavy element that can exist stably. This is the key point.

To say how useful this element is, it is not necessarily true. Just like the twenty-four artificial elements synthesized, it really has no meaning other than filling the periodic table.

But if one day, human physics makes a breakthrough, these artificial elements, or heavy elements that can exist stably, can really come in handy.

Just like plutonium and uranium, when humans discovered them, they would never have thought that they were the culprits of the cloud of destruction that shrouded the entire Blue Star. However, at the same time, they were also an opportunity for humans to run into the universe.

Regardless of how useful those asteroid cores will be in the future, it is also a fact that there is no suitable means of transportation between the moon and the blue star in the base.

Fortunately, when the construction of the Moon Palace Base began, Xiao Ai had already started preparing for another manned spacecraft.

Compared with the previous one, this one has a more comprehensive design and a more reasonable structure. After the volume is expanded, it can fully accommodate 2,000 people or 20,000 tons of cargo.

This quantity may seem small, and is far from the carrying capacity of sea-going ships, which can easily reach hundreds of thousands of tons, but it is already the spaceship with the largest cargo capacity besides the Moon Palace Base.

Even though its size is only slightly larger than an ordinary large aircraft, with the space expansion, the volume inside has been expanded dozens of times.

In order to manufacture it, Xiaoai had to use the titanium alloy reserves from Blue Star.

Although enough rutile has been found on the moon to produce titanium, more than 20% of the titanium in the lunar environment is radioactive titanium isotopes.

These radioactive isotopes can only emit alpha or beta rays, which are not very harmful to the human body, but can seriously interfere with the work of various electronic equipment.

Although the current spacecraft mainly uses spiritual energy as energy for propulsion and protection, electricity is also an indispensable part. At least the main control computer and many other things require the support of electricity, especially the electromagnetic-powered main gun. , and Laser as a tight end defense.

Although even the titanium alloy on Blue Star cannot avoid the presence of radioactive isotopes in it, the content is very low, so low that it cannot penetrate the outer wall at all.

Therefore, until most of the radioactive elements are removed, these titanium metals cannot be used as materials for the construction of spacecraft.

However, this raw material purification technology has actually been widely used in Blue Star for a long time. It is like the centrifuge used to make mushroom bombs, which is a good method.

On the moon, in the Moon Palace Base, there are many things lacking, but there is definitely no lack of energy.

This aspect is not obvious on a moonlit night, because there is only one million-kilowatt-level fusion power station for use at the construction site outside the base. But once the moon comes, the energy emitted by dozens of square kilometers of panels will It has reached the tens of millions of kilowatts level.

Now on the moon, there are not many factories that consume a lot of energy. The base also has its own reactor for power supply, so that the base has to input the spiritual energy generated by the electricity into the ground to verify whether there are spiritual stones in the natural environment. of production.
