Hand rubbing nuclear fusion live in the wilderness

Chapter 480
The huge infrared outer space telescope stood quietly in the clean room. After letting the audience appreciate it for a while, Han Yuan commanded the smart core to shrink the main mirror.

The primary mirror with a diameter of more than 11 meters cannot be installed in the space shuttle if it is not equipped with a curling device and combined with the base.

Even if the space shuttle was redesigned and manufactured later, and its volume and volume have been greatly expanded, there is no way to fit a behemoth with a diameter of more than 20 meters.

So this space telescope has two sets of volume shrinkage systems, one on the primary mirror and the other on the rod that supports the primary mirror.

Following his order, under the control of the intelligent core, the infrared outer space telescope like Jinfanyinship began to deform.

The first is the main mirror. The mirrors on both sides of the huge main mirror are folded back, retracting their wings like a butterfly.

After the mirror surfaces on both sides of the primary mirror were folded, the primary mirror erected on the base like a sail began to rotate under the support of the mirror rod.

It rotated first, and then it was like a sailboat whose mast was cut off from the bottom and slowly lowered, from an upright state to a flat one on the deck.

In this way, the main mirror is changed from being upright on the base to a horizontal mode, which greatly reduces the volume.

The audience in the live broadcast room were not surprised by the folding of the main mirror. Most of them had seen how Weber folded it, but they were surprised when the main mirror suddenly fell down.

[Deformation!Set off! 】

[Before I was still thinking, how the anchor should send this huge thing to the sky, it turns out that it can shrink and deform. 】

[I can't accept it, it's really awesome, Weber's main mirror can't be folded like this, at most it can be rolled up. 】

[I hope it can find an alien planet suitable for human survival, preferably within ten light years. 】

[The cost of this thing is estimated to be hundreds of billions. Isn't it good to use it to speculate in real estate?Let alone earn tens of billions. 】

[The anchor is earnestly popularizing various technologies, but you are shaking your wits, do you feel that you are awesome? 】

[Real estate, heh, what kind of rubbish. 】

[To be honest, I think human beings are a bit like the prodigal sons of a wealthy family. In the solar system, there are large and small springboards such as Mars and the moon, and there are giant resource stations such as Saturn and Jupiter, and they are all very close, almost using the most primitive chemistry. The fuel spacecraft can arrive, but countries are busy dropping more bombs on their compatriots, or absorbing the few coffin books in the hands of ordinary people. 】

[It's even more ironic that the reason why we can find out that rockets can be used for aerospace is because we once wanted to use this thing to carry bombs and kill people thousands of miles away. 】

[War is the best catalyst for science and technology. In a sense, this is true. The great leaps in science and technology of mankind actually occurred during World War I and World War II. 】

[I deeply agree with the Dyson ball. 】

[Fighting in the nest is the essence of human beings. 】

[To be honest, before the unification of mankind has been realized, it is too early to regard the people on earth as a whole. 】

In the live broadcast room, the audience discussed and expressed emotion while watching the space telescope deform and shrink.

The topic changed again and again, and somehow it fell on the infighting among humans themselves.

Han Yuan looked at the barrage and shook his head. He probably knows a little about alien civilizations, mainly from the knowledge information of intermediate materials.

Although there are not many people who understand it, there are almost no countries and regions that have established hundreds of countries and regions on one planet like human beings.

Of course, this is not because alien civilizations do not fight internally, but under normal circumstances, there are not so many internal fights, or in other words, the party that fails the internal fights is directly driven out.

Therefore, after some civilizations have experienced several wars, they will quickly unify into a federation or an imperial country, and then they will hit the power to develop to aliens.

The creativity of human civilization is indeed very strong. It has only been more than 200 years since the first scientific and technological revolution, and we have entered the era of outer space exploration.

But it is undeniable that human beings also have a strong desire to conquer, and almost everyone has a deep desire to conquer hidden in their hearts, no matter men or women.

This desire to conquer can also be explained as the pressure of survival in the early days. After all, in ancient times, resources were not enough to feed everyone. In order to survive, it was common to compete for territory.

But with the evolution and the passage of time, this desire to conquer was gradually written into the genes, which in turn prompted the civilization to split and become independent.

Of course, in addition to the desire to conquer, there are many reasons why human beings are divided into hundreds of countries.

For example, the emergence of culture, morality, religion, and customs.

Some people may wonder why the emergence of such things as culture and morality split human beings into hundreds of countries.

This is because the emergence of cultural and religious customs of different groups of people in different regions has created alienation in people's hearts. To a certain extent, they do not recognize other people as their own.

The emergence of such things as morality and law made it impossible to kill all wars, gave the enemy a chance to resist, and then split into hundreds of countries step by step.

For example, in Europe, there are dozens of countries on a land of more than 1000 million square kilometers.

It is because of the imbalance in culture and development, and too many powerful nations. Of course, this is also related to Europe's missed opportunity for unification.

After all, in a certain period of ancient times, the culture and language of European countries were still similar, and they were fully qualified for unification, but they did not have a unified country.

Neither the Roman Empire nor the Charlemagne Empire had achieved the unification of the entire continent, let alone cultural unification.

Thinking of this, Han Yuan is very fortunate that there was such a great dynasty in ancient China, she completed the unification of the mainland, and most importantly, the unification and integration of culture.

Otherwise, the fate of these 960 million square kilometers of land will probably not be much better than Europe split into dozens of countries.

Recovering from his conjecture, Han Yuan waited for the infrared outer space telescope to complete the folding work.

This process was quite slow, and it took nearly an hour for the intelligent core to completely retract the telescope.

The completely shrunk outer space telescope looks like a thick book is opened and a tripod is placed on it, and the space occupied by the overall volume is reduced by nearly half in an instant.

The longest diameter has not changed much, but the highest point has been directly reduced from about 15 meters to about five meters.

Only at such a height can it be completely put into the space shuttle.

The infrared outer space telescope was folded, and the mechanical arm in the clean room brought a huge clean polyester film to wrap the telescope completely.

This is a measure to prevent dust and impurities from sticking to the mirror surface during transportation. The reason why it is protected with polyester film instead of cloth or plastic is that other materials cannot be completely cleaned.

Whether it is cloth or plastic, they themselves contain certain impurities, and no matter how they are treated, some impurities will fall on the mirror surface.

The polyester film does not need to worry about this problem. Its production is relatively simple and can be carried out in a vacuum chamber, and its structure is more compact and tougher than plastics and cloth.

These can ensure that it will not drop dross from the top when it covers and protects the telescope mirror.

With the operation of the mechanical arm, the entire infrared outer space telescope was tightly wrapped, and then the door of the dust-free studio was opened, and the tightly wrapped telescope was transported out of the numerical control assembly room, and then transported by vehicle to the launch site.

Here, it will be sent into space by the manufactured space shuttle and launch vehicle, and then enter the L2 Lagrangian point for work.

As for the space shuttle or launch vehicle, with the help of fully intelligent CNC factories, large-scale 3D printers and X-1 robots, most of the components have been manufactured in more than half a month.

Although some key equipment and materials inside, such as chips and fuel, are exchanged for Korean won through technology points, the manufacturing can be completed in more than half a month, which is enough to reflect the production level of a highly intelligent industrial base.

Not to mention other things, the number of X-1 industrial robots has increased to more than 800 in just over half a month, and the number has nearly tripled.

Sufficient robots liberate the labor force at once. It can be said that in addition to assembling the controllable nuclear fusion reactor, other daily tasks are handed over to these industrial robots.

Whether it is ordinary base maintenance, production of various equipment, or even the care of food production bases such as vegetable gardens and orchards, they are gradually being controlled by X-1 industrial robots.

As for those chimpanzees and capuchin monkeys, they have been kept in free range anyway, so just let them go.

But thinking of these animals, Han Yuan suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen the four little ones for a while.

It's normal for little eight and little nine parrots to fly around the world, but where did the leopard go?
Han Yuan is a bit strange, he doesn't seem to see the two little ones much recently?

Thinking about it, he was a little worried that something would happen to the two little guys, so he turned on the pager on his arm, switched the communication channel to the communication channel carried by the two little guys, and yelled twice.

"One treasure, two treasures, where are you?"

Although the two little guys have already grown up, they are far larger than ordinary jaguars.It can be said that there are almost no opponents in this forest.

But Won is a little worried that they will encounter artificially modified objects like the ancient Warnabi snake and giant insects from extraterrestrials again.

After all, there are many things left over from the previous host on this simulated planet. It is not surprising that one or some modified creatures appeared in the no-man's land.

Soon, two small voices of 'ooohoooo' came from the communicator. Hearing the voice, Han Yuan let go of his worries.

"Stop playing, come back early."

Han Yuan yelled, and after confirming that the two were safe, he was relieved, and turned his attention back to the outer space telescope.

The space shuttle and launch vehicle manufactured by Xiaoqi have been delivered, and they are now working on fixing the launch pad.

Hundreds of X-1 industrial robots are controlled and managed by Xiaoqi, and they are assembling launch vehicles.

Just like launching launch vehicles in various countries in reality, each scattered structure of the No. [-] launch vehicle is also manufactured, and then transported to the vertical assembly and test plant of the launch center, where vertical assembly and vertical testing are completed, and then vertically transferred to of the tower.

It is impossible for something as huge as a launch vehicle to be assembled directly in the production center, especially the launch vehicle he manufactured is larger in size than the Saturn V manufactured by the United States.

It is impossible for such a huge launch vehicle to be assembled at the assembly factory before being transported to the launch site.

It can only be transported part by part, and then the final assembly is carried out in the launch site through hanging rails, gantry, assembly towers and other equipment.

It took a full three days and two nights, and under the continuous rotation of hundreds of X-1 industrial robots, the extremely huge launch vehicle was finally assembled.

The carrier rocket erected and fixed on the assembly frame went straight into the sky like a giant sword, with an overall height of nearly 150 meters. The diameter of the thickest part of the tail exceeded 25 meters if the balance tail was included.

The overall weight can reach [-] tons after refueling.

Such a behemoth is naturally not weak in its carrying capacity. Its maximum load exceeds two hundred tons, which is enough to send space shuttles and outer space telescopes into the sky.

As the space shuttle equipped with the infrared outer space telescope is fixed to the launch vehicle, the fixed equipment, such as hanging rails, gantry and the like, are gradually removed.

The fully assembled launch vehicle and space shuttle are secured to a massive steel platform.

The bottom of this steel platform is a slide rail, which is derived from the assembly room to the launch stand, and the assembled launch vehicle can be slowly transported to the launch stand with the help of the propulsion device, and then fixed and launched.

When the venue was cleared, Won also came to the control room, pulled up the surveillance video and watched.

"Xiao Qi, how's the situation?"

Han Yuan looked at the launch vehicle and space shuttle fixed on the launch pad, and asked towards the communicator.

"The site has been cleared and final checks are underway before launch"

"The launch inspection of the 'Zero One' space shuttle has been completed, and the ignition equipment has been confirmed to be correct, and the communication equipment has been confirmed to be in normal operation."

"The launch inspection of the 'Zero' launch vehicle has been completed, the ignition equipment has been confirmed to be correct, and the fuel supply device is confirmed to be normal. Confirm."

As time passed, the voice of Xiaoqi's report continued to come from the communicator, and the final launch inspection was also in progress.

"The inspection has been completed. The operating status of all units at the launch site. The launch vehicle and space shuttle and other equipment have no problems. The X-1 industrial robot has been evacuated from the site. There is still one hour, 31 minutes and 24 seconds before the launch time."

After more than an hour, Xiaoqi's voice came out from the communicator, the final inspection work was completed, and the preparations for the launch vehicle, space shuttle and launch site were all completed.

An hour and a half is not long, and it passed quickly amidst the audience's discussion in the live broadcast room.

In the last minute, Xiaoqi's reminder sounded again.

"Master, there is still one minute until the ignition time."

Han Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "I'll leave it to you, Xiaoqi, I'll just watch it in the control room."

"Okay, master."
