My Black Tech Shelter

On the 31st, at 4:50 in the morning, there were still ten minutes left before the rocket was launched.

Lu Chen stood outside the control room, looking at the busy staff inside the control room, and then looked out the window.

The on-site inspectors in the distance are completing the final inspection work and have reached the finishing stage. Personnel who have completed the inspections are leaving the scene one after another.

As the ten-minute countdown began, everyone began to get nervous.

Every rocket launch is a war, a war away from the shackles of the mother planet,

Lu Chen admired the busy group of people, and there were many young people inside. It seemed that most of them were born in the 80s and 90s.

There is a link between the past and the future, and there are successors. This is the current situation of contemporary astronauts.

In today's era, science and technology have become the objects of people's pursuit and worship, and the social atmosphere has changed to advocating science.

Regarding this, because Lu Chen has never stayed in an official shelter, he is not very clear about it, but Bai Xiao and others who follow Lu Chen have a great understanding.

I used to go home and ask the children at home what their dreams were. Most of the answers were that they want to be a star and make a lot of money when they grow up.

Now that I'm back home, I ask again: I want to be a scientist when I grow up, and I want to invent many, many things.

Now looking back at the group of astronauts in front of them, Bai Xiao and others also saw the shadow of their own children in this group of people.

When the time came to prepare for the last minute, Lu Chen couldn't help but become nervous. Although he was confident in the technology of nano-core deduction, he still felt nervous.

After the final countdown ended, Lu Chen saw the rocket starting to start in the distance.

With a burst of flames, the rocket slowly took off,

In the command room at this time, a group of people were paying attention to the status of the rocket in real time.

"Optical tracking is normal, quantum communication is normal,"

"Telemetry signal is OK,"

"The first-stage thruster separated successfully and the second-stage thruster has been started,"

…

"The second-stage thruster separated successfully, the third-stage thruster started, and the fairing has been opened,"

…

"It has reached low-Earth orbit, the third-stage thruster has successfully detached, the Stingray has successfully detached, and Chang'e-6 has successfully entered orbit,"

After it was confirmed that the rocket was successfully launched, everyone cheered happily, but they were all professional people and quickly continued with the next step of the work.

"Start Chang'e-6's directional ion engine and adjust its direction,"

"Direction adjustment completed, start the main ion engine"

"The main thruster has been started and the journey to the moon has begun. The estimated time is 64 hours."

"The ray ion engine was successfully started and has moved away from Chang'e 6,"

By this time, the launch mission had basically been successful.

All that was left was some finishing work, and Lu Chen also learned through Zero that the ray had been successfully taken over by Zero, and was adjusting the orbital height and heading to the predetermined location to release the main laboratory compartment.

At the same time, rockets from the other three launch bases also successfully entered orbit. Thanks to the cooperation of the ion engine and the launch vehicle, all other components of Tiangong-1 manufactured during this period have been launched.

Also going up at the same time were 10 small maintenance robots, which are usually mounted outside Tiangong-1 and are responsible for the maintenance and replacement of external equipment.

The later plan is to launch an aircraft equipped with an ion engine into the sky like Lu Chen, with astronauts inside and other equipment.

The launch method is similar to that of the Stars and Stripes Space Shuttle, but the return method is different.

In the design of the ray, Longguo researchers made magical changes and installed six ion engines. Except for the two at the tail, which are used for propulsion, the other four are directly built into the body.

In this way, when returning, after landing to a certain height, you can directly turn on the four thrusters to slow down and achieve a safe landing.

Moreover, the large warehouse of the ray can carry a lot of equipment and materials. If the cost is not considered, a small scientific research base can be established on the moon.

However, this time Chang'e-6 was a planned mission, and I just happened to take advantage of this ride to go to the moon first.

And this time with an ion engine, more lunar materials can be returned.

Just after the Dragon Kingdom's four rockets took off, Stars and Stripes' NASA also observed the launch through its own quantum communication satellite.

After seeing the flying method of the ray and Chang'e 6, I was shocked and urgently summoned a group of experts for analysis.

Finally, it was concluded that this should be an ion thruster in practical condition.

When this report was handed over to the president, he thought it was fake news. After it was finally confirmed to be true, he immediately contacted the intelligence department and asked how the intelligence work in Longguo was done. Such important news actually came from The space agency knows it,

The Intelligence Bureau was also aggrieved. It had already persuaded many foreigners to leave before the meteorite hit. After the subsequent interception failed, the official shelter of Dragon Kingdom only allowed its own people to enter.

This resulted in the total loss of the intelligence agency's power in the Dragon Kingdom, and only some banana people could still deliver some news.

But it’s only limited to local shelters.

And the Dragon Kingdom is not as keen on building its own shelters as the Stars and Stripes Kingdom, which leads to the pitiful lack of private shelters in the outside world.

Even for corporate shelters, because of what Stars and Stripes did in the early days, they were extremely wary of foreigners and would never let them get close to the core area.

Therefore, intelligence work is difficult to carry out,

After hearing this, ** was furious,

"Then kick out all the Chinese people in our shelter. Since they won't let us stay, then we won't let them stay either."

"Mr. President, this is an unrealistic idea. Many of the Chinese people who are still here are the main personnel conducting key technology research. You are undoubtedly digging your own grave by doing this,"

Other members of Congress also expressed that they would not agree with the president's actions.

In the end, the matter was nothing more than a request to the Intelligence Bureau to strengthen its spying on the Far East and understand every move of the Dragon Kingdom.

——

Here, after the launch was successful, Lu Chen said goodbye to everyone at the launch base and took Bai Xiao's team back to Shelter No. 1.

On the Fighting Falcon, Lu Chen saw that there were 12,800 energy points in the nanocore. It was already 11 noon.

After a hasty lunch, I input the current ion engine data and invested 12,000 energy points.

The nanocore showed that the deduction would take 10 days, and I found that it happened to be my birthday.

Lu Chen felt that he was quite destined. The completion of the deduction on his birthday also heralded his official entry into the space age.

After arriving at Shelter 1, I started asking about the progress of Zero Ray.

"Sir, the ray has arrived at the predetermined position, the main laboratory compartment has been separated, the ion engine has been started, and it has entered normal flight.

At the same time, the Stingray's warehouse has been opened, the robots and experimental equipment inside have been released, and the robots are installing equipment into the main warehouse. It is expected to be completed in two days."

"Not bad, how about the main body of the spaceship I asked you to build before?"

"Sir, the basic main frame of the spacecraft has been completed. It is expected that it will take another month to complete the construction of other systems except the power system,"

"Well, what about the electromagnetic transmitter?"

"Sir, a site has been selected to build an electromagnetic launcher. It is expected to be completed in five days. Using the nuclear fuel rods officially traded with Longguo, a fast reactor nuclear power plant has been built next to the electromagnetic launcher with a power generation of 500 megawatts."

"Very well, let the rays in space prepare to begin receiving cargo after the electromagnetic transmitter experiment is completed,"

The electromagnetic launcher Lu Chen was talking about was a very large electromagnetic gun. However, this electromagnetic gun did not fire shells, but metal cargo.

Taking into account that nuclear fusion technology cannot be applied, each use of the launch vehicle consumes too much, and the subsequent spacecraft construction period is too long, coupled with limited transportation capacity,

So Lu Chen’s idea is to use launch vehicles or spaceships to transport people and precision instruments.

As for other components that are durable and durable, you can use an electromagnetic accelerator to directly accelerate them to the first cosmic speed and launch them, thus saving a lot of resources.

And this kind of equipment is also an application in the early stage. When the warships come out in the later stage, there will be no need to be so troublesome.

This idea is also an idea that Lu Chen saw in a book before.

The previous technology couldn't achieve it, but now the technology can, but it requires a lot of power consumption.

And just this time, a lot of uranium ore was discovered, so we simply bought another batch of fuel rods from the government and built a nuclear power plant nearby to provide direct power supply.

While Lu Chen was planning, the manta ray in space dropped the experimental cabin at the predetermined location and began to adjust its posture to look for damaged satellites from non-Dragon countries.

Lu Chen's idea is to find some communication satellites, then modify them and install quantum communication modules to serve as communication transfer stations for future moon landings.

Soon, the rays found a communications satellite that had malfunctioned due to the impact of the solar storm.

The robotic arm collected it and stuffed it into the warehouse, and continued moving forward.

In this way, after finding five communication satellites in a row, the ray began to return and came to the experimental cabin.

Among the robots that were installing equipment, a robot came to Stingray's warehouse.

Inside, the transformation of five communication satellites was completed through the carried module chips and small ion engines.

After re-releasing the five satellites, the five satellites began to adjust their directions and accelerate according to the programmed settings.

Except for one of these five satellites that needs to go to the Lagrange point, the other four need to go to Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus respectively.

After arriving at the predetermined position, each satellite can be used as a repeater to communicate with equipment as far away as Uranus.

Although quantum theory says that quantum communication can ignore distance, it must provide energy. It is impossible to subvert the law of energy conservation. This is currently a better method.

Regarding this situation, Lu Chen also had an idea, which was to build a large-scale quantum communication facility on Mars to connect all his quantum communications and achieve delay-free real-time communication within the solar system.
