Chapter 307 Sword-shaped Research Ship
However, although this detection is mainly to detect the Kuiper belt in the outer reaches of the solar system, it will still carry out detailed detection of the major planets and their satellites on the way. After all, the farthest human spaceships have gone is the asteroid. It’s just the asteroid belt, and has never been out of the asteroid belt, so human beings don’t know much about other planets in the solar system other than asteroids except for the information obtained from various astronomical telescopes and unmanned probes, so the detection of these The planet must be carried in it.

The most important spacecraft used in this exploration are the previous Pioneer, Explorer 2 and Explorer [-].

Of course, in addition to these three spaceships, there are five other space science research ships that will join them, but the five new space science research ships are not very large, and the tonnage is about 10 tons. , but for a scientific research ship, these spacecraft are already relatively large.

However, these five scientific research ships are different from Pioneer, Explorer [-], and Explorer [-]. First of all, the armor of these five scientific research ships is very thick, and the armor at the end of the bow even reaches about five meters thick. The weakest part of the entire spaceship's armor is also one meter thick. It can be said that if the five spaceships fly in space and my special pilots don't die, basically nothing will happen.

Moreover, the materials used in the armor of these five spaceships are also the latest armor technology of Zhu Lei and his Yongan Group. Not only does this armor have a very high hardness of about 350, but the heat insulation effect of this special metal is also very good, so as a cosmic The armor of the spaceship is very suitable.

And because the power devices of these five space research ships have two controllable nuclear fusion thrusters in addition to four super-powerful thrusters, these thrusters can make the spacecraft generate strong power, so these five spacecraft The fastest speeds will be around 10% of the speed of light.

Therefore, the chances of survival of these five space research ships are definitely many times higher than those of the previous three space research ships.

Although the attack power of these five spaceships is very small, or even non-existent, all the weapons of the entire spaceship add up to only two electromagnetic rail guns, and a few missile launchers, but due to the special design of these five space research ships, There is no extra space to install weapons, not to mention that due to the special design of these five space research ships, the spaceship itself is a very powerful weapon.

Among the five space research ships, they look like sharp swords without hilts. The entire spacecraft looks very neat, with nothing outstanding.

It is precisely because of this special design that the entire spaceship itself is a powerful weapon, and because of its strong armor, this spaceship can penetrate an asteroid with a diameter of less than 500 meters when flying at full speed.

It is precisely because of this special design that these five spacecraft cannot be equipped with more weapons, but as a space research ship, this is enough, because the most important thing for a space research ship is to survive Ability, not his combat effectiveness.

In the blink of an eye, three months have passed. At this time, the discussion meeting on the Mars plan on the moon is still going on, and the construction of five scientific research ships has been completed at this time, and these five scientific research ships are built according to the original drawings. Completed. In addition, these five space research ships are also the first spaceships in the entire Ming Empire to use controllable nuclear fusion technology. However, for safety reasons, these five space research ships are also equipped with ordinary nuclear power generation technology, but this technology is only used as the power supply system of the spacecraft, and secondarily as a backup energy source for the spacecraft’s engines.

After all, once these five spaceships set off, they will be far away from the earth, and because the intensity of sunlight where they are going is very weak, the spaceships basically rely on their own energy to provide power, and there is no other external energy. up.

Therefore, regarding energy considerations, the designers of Zhu Lei Yongan Group are very comprehensive. After all, this exploration of the outer reaches of the solar system is not an unmanned probe, but a real manned spaceship. Scholars and scientists, so they must be absolutely safe, after all, these people are the most precious resources of the Ming Empire.

However, compared to these five space research ships, the missions of Pioneer and Explorer 2 and [-] are relatively simpler, because their main research targets are several other planets in the solar system other than Mars and their satellites.

After all, compared with these five space research ships, Pioneer, Explorer 2 and 2 are much smaller in terms of speed and survivability, and they are relatively safe as research ships in the solar system, but Once outside the nine planets of the solar system, there will be many hidden dangers in the safety of these three space research ships. If any accident occurs in the long-distance airspace, the rescue of the Ming Empire will be very troublesome, and Pioneer As well as Explorer [-] and Explorer [-], they were designed as planetary research ships, so they are just right for exploring the major planets in the solar system.

The five newly built space science research ships are named as Lijian 1 to No. 5 spaceships respectively. Although these five space science research ships look very similar in appearance, their functions are actually different. The main function of some is to detect changes in the magnetic field and space particles in the outer reaches of the solar system, and the main function of some is to detect the distribution of asteroids in the outer reaches of the solar system.

Although the tonnage of these five space science research ships has reached more than 10 tons, due to their strong armor, the size of these five space science research ships is not large, and the longest part of the entire space science research ship is only 200 tons. Less than one meter long and less than 40 meters wide, at first glance no one would think that these five space research ships would weigh more than 10 tons.

"How are you preparing, this time your mission is very difficult. Your mission this time not only needs to record data on various spaces, magnetic fields, particles, laws of motion, etc. Asteroids, dwarf planets, comets, meteorites, etc. make detailed records.

Secondly, you need to record all kinds of data in the Kuiper belt and send them back to the moon through the quantum communication equipment of the spacecraft. Of course, in addition to these, you also need to look for asteroids or dwarfs in the outer reaches of the solar system that can build space warning radars. Planets or comets, after all, human beings are quite insecure now, and it can even be said that there is no defense by force. "Zhu Lei looked at the eight groups of members standing in front of him. Among them, the largest number belonged to the research ship Pioneer, and the smallest number belonged to Explorer 2 and Explorer [-].
