Chapter 37 Tomorrow's Sun Ark Puns
The arc injection engine is a standard nuclear energy engine. It uses nuclear energy to ionize the working medium and fuel, turns it into a highly dense plasma, and then injects it through the electromagnetic field. Due to the combination of its thermal expansion speed and electromagnetic acceleration, it can achieve a fairly high exhaust rate. The speed can almost be regarded as a continuous jet of ultra-miniature nuclear explosions.
Theoretically speaking, Lao Xia can even transform it into a plasma cannon with a vacuum range of about 20-30 kilometers. Of course, that is meaningless. In space, this range is almost equivalent to holding an earpick in your hand To a certain extent, no matter how deadly this earpick is - it cannot let you defeat the enemy who is carrying at least RPG on the opposite side.
From a purely theoretical point of view, the warheads of the Covenant's conventional interceptor missiles are similar, except that the jet has a longer range of 3000-8000 kilometers and a shorter duration. It is hard to say that the energy released is better than this one. The engine is much larger, but it is usually enough to penetrate armor that has not been specially reinforced, and it can also test whether the opponent has a shield system.
After all, even if the enemy is equipped with a shield system in space, it will not be as obvious as a glowing cover in the animation. If there is a glowing phenomenon, it means that the entire system is actually radiating energy at an alarming rate, which also means that you are The brightest lighthouse in the universe attracts all arrows.
That being the case, Lao Xia is not allowed to give this green skin to Master Ke to play with, and he has no ability to complete the repair work. The one-way fluid confining magnetic field in it is enough for Master Ke to scratch his scalp. The premise is that he doesn't use that kind of "magic" to cheat.
The restored engine and supporting equipment are about the size of a large marine turbine, which is more than enough if it is limited to low-altitude flight in the atmosphere, let alone the miniature jump engine.
It needs to be mentioned here that the Star Alliance usually does not have rules prohibiting jumps in the atmosphere, because it is hard to say how much trouble people who do this can cause to others, but they usually kill themselves.
The gravity of the planet will distort and affect the integrity of the manifold of the transition force field to a certain extent. Unless you are an expert in fancy aerobatics, it is best not to expect you to be able to coordinate this problem in time, and the result of manifold fragmentation Just....you'll be ripped apart by gravity sorry.
There is a limit to the compensation and balance system. It allows you to turn on the transition function in low orbit. It is not for you to stick to the ground to die, and Lao Xia is not going to die. He just regards this thing as a luxury. The microgravity balancer is in use, which can further increase the tonnage of the flying vehicle.
Of course, this design work is not very complicated. He doesn't even need to design it. He just needs to copy the things he has repaired before. The only trouble is that there are many things that the flight control system needs. There are no shelf products here, so he has to find a way solve this problem.
Moreover, he still has a very troublesome technical difficulty, that is, Lao Xia does not know how to make aircraft in the atmosphere, and space vehicles and atmosphere are completely two concepts.
Don't say anything else, let alone do it, if you fly the plane according to the habit, there will be accidents - the predetermined speed is reached, well, the engine is turned off - for a statically unstable aircraft, it will enter the spin time on the spot, and then it will be up to you The level of occupant protection and the speed of restarting the engine to recover are amazing.
However, manufacturing a large aircraft is a lengthy job. Right now, we have to sort out the new batch of Covenant supplies. Among them, the first-aid kit is meaningless. Kind of, not even equipped with surgical tools.
"So, I hate formalism!" Lao Xia took out the contents of the first aid kit one by one, "Except for two therapeutic needles, the rest are for treating minor injuries and primary injuries. They don't even have a laser non-invasive scalpel. not ready"
Using gamma lasers to directly penetrate the human body, using the different absorption rates of specific cells for peak energy to destroy targets, in fact, there are similar technologies on the modern earth, but they are not miniaturized and precise to this extent.
"How to say?"
"These are all things that should be inspected. They have everything that should be there, and there is absolutely nothing that shouldn't be there." Lao Xia sighed. After all, it's good to have everything that should be there. At least it's not time for you to use it. Open it It's such a shitty thing that it's out of date for ten years.
"Then the toolbox is also the same. The biggest gain is that I found a nanofluid modeling gun, but it is not equipped with particle blueprints, so it is useless. In other words, who made the sand sculpture rules? Who the hell can Is there a particle blueprint to use when the network is disconnected?" Lao Xia complained.
"I can connect to the main network of the galaxy, do I still need a survival kit? I can immediately mail order a small shuttle, fly in orbit in 8 minutes, and then call a passenger bus and leave."
"Is there something like a memory card?" The white rabbit is also flipping through this pile of odds and ends. Really, it's too fragmented, and quite a few of them were damaged and scattered to varying degrees when they crashed.
At that time, I was in a hurry to dismantle and leave, so I threw them all into the car body and pulled them away. I didn't have time to subdivide them. Now when I brought them back, I found that these bits and pieces were very strange.
"No, maybe there is, but we didn't notice it at the time. Then again, it was the ultra-thin storage revolution proposed by that idiot back then, which is the standard idiot concept that I see now?"
Ultra-thin large-capacity storage, which stores the most data while maximally compressing the volume and carrying weight, is an essential product for interstellar logistics, trade, information exchange, and data storage.
The only problem is that because it is so well made, even if it is painted in black and has a little fluorescent edge, it is not easy to separate it from the messy pile of crashed garbage.
"It's a fragment that looks similar to a memory card. Didn't the designer think about how to find this kind of thing in the first place when everyone crashes?"
"Probably because it has been kept in a containment device such as a box..."
"But now the box is broken, so it's troublesome to find it." The entire console was burnt, and even if it wasn't ejected in time, it probably wouldn't have survived, but if it survived, you wouldn't be able to find it immediately from a pile of charred components. it.
"So, are these odds and ends useless?"
"Yes" Lao Xia nodded. The biggest achievement is that he successfully rescued all the quantum cell packages that did not have time to self-destruct with amazing speed and precision. Therefore, theoretically speaking, he now has several quantum cells. The single-chip microcomputer can be used, which is a blessing among misfortunes.
The issue of wreckage falling was hardly reported in the news, it was only considered as an ordinary meteor falling time, and there was no report about the brief exchange of fire between Ursas and Dayan on the border. The news from the little tiger All come faster than the news.
"Old Xia, are you sure you have destroyed everything?" The white rabbit was a little worried, "If there is anything that hasn't been destroyed..."
"That's impossible. This is a high-quality, fast, and clean self-destruct device that has been tested in actual combat. Races more advanced than the Terrans can't reverse engineer anything useful."
"However, Lao Xia, you seem to have forgotten something. Have you ever thought about it? The technology of the Terra people is not the technology of your side. The garbage that has no reverse value for you may not be the same for the Ursas people. It's worthless."
"Fuck! How did I forget this!" This is the inertial thinking that kills people. For Lao Xia, the skeleton of the spacecraft, nano-polymer materials, light aluminum alloys, titanium alloys, carbon nano-materials, etc. are all common in interstellar civilizations. The choice of materials has almost no reverse value, but it is different for Terrans.
These seemingly completely burnt wrecks are also a huge treasure trove for them. For example, the electronic system hardware structure, automatic control principle, and automatic mechanical parts that are impossible to destroy belong to everyone. There is no need to keep them secret. In itself, the inspiration for the people of Terra who are wearing high-tech skins and essentially "burning warlocks for warmth" is not so great.
Even if they can't build a Titan chariot, building five pairs of wheels is enough for Lao Xia to have a headache, not to mention that once automation is really popularized, the explosive development of productivity and no longer relying on Originium will cause the infected to change from the original The most reliable and most easily united class immediately splits and degenerates into the least reliable group.
Because of their low wages and low psychological expectations, soon because of the expansion of automation, these cumbersome populations will become valuable labor force and be absorbed back. Lao Xia has no comparison with a country to produce larger-scale products. Confidence - he is just a technical advantage, and this technical advantage is rootless, and it is easy to be brought closer by people with scale advantages.
"Also, Lao Xia, don't you plan to contact the compatriots above?" The white rabbit is also curious about this matter, and it stands to reason that if you know that your compatriots are still suffering in the sky, you should rescue them immediately.
"I have this plan, but I don't know what it's useful for. I don't have a satellite or a star map, and I don't understand the law of the gravel in orbit. If I rashly guide them to make an emergency landing, I'm killing people for money." And it's actually killing people for money, because It is estimated that people will die, but the front body of the spacecraft may not be completely smashed.
"You're right, though, there's no harm in contacting them."
At the same time, in the orbit of the planet Terra, endless bluish-black source stones envelop this semi-yellow and non-green planet like a vast desert, and the side facing the sun is golden yellow like the purest source stones. The opposite is a deep blue-black, like eyes blinking in the sky.
With the absorption of solar energy, the release of solar energy, flickering, those that are too bright, can be seen clearly even in the atmosphere, like a bright starry sky. However, when you move your gaze to the outer starry sky, you will see There are only a few stars and endless darkness.
The edge of the cantilever, or the scattered galaxies in the endless void very close to the edge of the cantilever, are like the first hammer to be accelerated in this hammer game that has lasted for trillions of years.
The gravitational force from the Milky Way is decreasing day by day, and the speed of its movement around the astrolabe is also increasing day by day. One day, it will completely break away from the astrolabe along a beautiful tangent, and become a wandering creature in space. Galaxies, until captured by the next astrolabe, or just drifting away to the day the stars die or the edge of the universe.
It drifts with its companions thrown out in some violent and high-spirited movement of cosmic natural wonders, and gradually moves away because of the difference in angle.
Just like the movement of the physical universe itself, it goes from aggregation to splitting, from splitting to discrete, and finally becomes a uniform and stagnant water without fluctuations, until the next collapse of the singularity induced by accidental or inevitable entropy reduction.
Of course, whether it is thrown out by this hammer throw competition that has lasted for tens of billions of years and turned into an ark floating in the void, or turned into a slight ripple in a pool of stagnant water, that future is too long for life.
In this hammer throw contest, the cable that tied this galaxy has been broken, and the starry sky observed by the ancient ancestors has already become a dark star that is moving away at a high speed, and will gradually disappear into the night. In the end, only endless dark.
And this star will be the only life-carrying ark in this dark sea. No one knows when it will be captured next time. Maybe this miracle will not happen until the sun goes out and becomes a dim white dwarf.
In itself, whether it is life, the sun, or stars, they are all miracles or luck in the universe, and luck will not last forever.
And is there life in those star systems that are still around the star disk together for the final accelerated motion?No one knows, maybe there is, maybe the ancestors once received their detectors or signals, but now it has become a silence about the endless dark future.
People in space, especially in a hulk, always have some fantastic ideas, such as philosophy, but philosophy can't fill their stomachs, so the young people have to look away from the porthole, After walking in this only, safe cabin with less than 30 square meters, I walked to the machine in the corner with great fear and despair.
"Drip" The emergency power supply that was still working was activated, and a large white, shapeless, semi-liquid object fell into the dinner plate, forming a shape that made you not even want to explore its taste and origin.
Light and tasteless, slightly chewy, with a little unspeakable salty taste, it makes you feel like you are actually eating half-rotten toilet paper, and it seems that you are really eating some kind of indescribable excrement .
Of course, in terms of nutritional standards, it is healthy enough, rich in cellulose, which is the source of chewiness; has enough protein, which is the source of the greasy smooth taste; and healthy and moderate salt And all sorts of amino acid additives, that weird salty taste reminiscent of something that shouldn't be.
Finally, it has enough fructose and starch to satisfy a person's daily needs, as well as water, which is the reason for the pulpy shape of this terrible fluid substance and the oozing yellowish liquid that is constantly oozing.
All in all, between the gallows and eating this kind of thing, almost [-]% of the astronauts would rather choose the gallows. However, in the face of the terrible death of starvation, they can only choose to eat this unknown food in humiliation. organic matters
"It can't be something for people to eat!" The miserable howl from the first taster rang in his mind involuntarily as he swallowed a spoonful of white organic sauce, shocking every nerve.
After eating this hellish thing, reminding himself that he is still alive and not insane all the time, the young man sat in front of the driver's seat, and there were nearly 700 scratches on the metal plate beside him, some of which were deliberately It deepened, it was the time when a certain companion or survivor died or disappeared.
Some of them are trying to expand the smelting array, preparing to build a magnificent space tombstone for themselves, some are going to go out to try their luck, see if there is water or other usable raw materials on those asteroids, and the bravest one, directly open He rushed to the planet with the last escape boat-before entering the atmosphere, he needed to make a close contact with the dense rocks in low orbit.
Apparently, after seeing the flames from the apparent collision in low orbit, the young man had no hope of surviving this guy.
"Zizi~" The communication station was still silent. The active communication system was knocked out at the beginning, and the technician who tried to repair it was gone. His body is still hanging on the casing. If you remove the metal plate of the upper observation window, you will see a, uh, half a completely dehydrated mummy floating freely behind the hull.
The safety rope tied to the belt keeps him fixed on the shell, and the lower body has already disappeared with a small meteorite passing by at high speed, and the intestines are floating in the vacuum like a long silk thread, completely dried up Go down, like a specimen of some disgusting insect.
This tragic accident scene tells everyone that the safety operation standards formulated by the Ship Technician Union of the Star Alliance are justified, although most of the time, space is frighteningly empty, and the distance between two stars in the dense asteroid belt is usually Also more than 30 light seconds.
(Certainly, the shortest distance of an asteroid in the asteroid belt is 980 million kilometers, 32.6 light seconds, which is the shortest, so don’t believe the dense stuff in the movie, in fact, you can’t open a thing the size of the earth hit something)
But now in this abnormally dense place, which seems to be the scene of a planet cracking, this safety code reflects its foresight and experience, and the Groot technician who chose to operate illegally has become what he is now.
What crushed him was just a small thing with a diameter of 11 centimeters—in any case, the relative speed of this little cutie was 170 kilometers per second at that time, and no individual soldier's protective equipment could block its heavy blows. hit.
Right in front of the spacecraft, the thing that protects it from dying is a huge, gigantic, sci-fi hemisphere with a diameter of more than 60 kilometers.
However, the tentacle-like cables radiating from there, the thorn-like spiers made of golden unidentified crystals, and the other half of its fractured work surface all indicate one thing - this large space station is fundamentally Not finished.
And on its front, the words "Starship-03" are written in very ancient Celtic alphabet.
One of the survivors was trying to drive a small shuttle to the space station to explore the way, and then was bombarded by some kind of defense device that was still in operation. Those tentacles were made of the same material as the rocks outside. It's like a giant eye watching the planet's ground and intercepting any overly large, high-velocity objects.
Obviously, judging from the dense rocks, I don't know whether to say that it did a good job or a bad job. In any case, the large rock that could destroy the catapult bridge of the Windrunner was finally intercepted. But no one knows if it will lose function in the next second.
"ZiZi~" The communication station continued to make noise, and it only had the passive receiving function left. "ZiZi...Hello..." There was no response, the young man thought he was hallucinating, "Are there any living people up there? Hey, it looks like they're really dead~"
I really want to shout that there is still one alive!But there is no way, because the active sending station has been damaged, and the body of the repairman has become a vacuum bacon.
"My communication channel is... Zizi... If there are still people alive, please call back as soon as possible... The following is an automatic repeat message..."
"No matter who sent it, in short, we must contact the other party!" The young man looked out the porthole, made up his mind, and started to act.
Chapter 38 The Crown of the World
How difficult is it for an individual in space to communicate with a ground communication station if he already has a fairly advanced passive receiving device and intact decoding and encoding equipment?The answer is that it depends on how fast the electromagnetic wave antenna you put together.
It is very easy to make a simple device that can broadcast to the surface of the planet without considering security, orientation, and power consumption, especially if you still have a lot of electronic components and a good decoding device.
The only problem is that you need to carry out a very dangerous EVA (Extravehicular Walking) activity. The curtain jumped, grabbed the handle outside the cabin, and headed towards the entire crooked communication tower.
He needs to go through 228 dangerous steps, avoiding those crystals floating around that seem to be very safe, and glowing beautiful golden brown in the sun, and then enter the communication array, trying to find a way to get enough electronic components that are still in good condition. It's best to find an electromagnetic wave communication device that is still working, and then repair it or assemble a similar thing to put it together.
As far as technical difficulty is concerned, assembling a simple and crude electromagnetic wave communication device is as simple as a junior high school manual class for him, but, as far as safety is concerned... this is simply a nightmare, especially in the classroom. A part of a daring fellow is still floating there.
"It's... a living hell." The young man firmly grasped the maintenance handle outside the cabin, and slowly drifted towards the target. The small motion detection radar on the shoulder of the protective suit can detect nearby moving objects, but it doesn't Can't make sure you have enough time to dodge this moving object.
When someone in space was trying hard to repair the communication equipment, on the ground, Lao Xia temporarily gave up communicating with the above, but he also knew that this kind of communication often required considerable patience, especially for his own equipment When the power is not large.
The renovation of the old city has entered an orderly final stage. Most of the shops in the outer ring have started business, and the traffic on the streets has gradually increased. After the power supply is restored, the pedestrian street below the deck has also become lively.
Now there are only two unfinished works, one is the building of the new management bureau in Longmen Old Town, and the second is the group office building of the Xia Group. The triangular building, while the latter is like a slender flower piercing the sky.
The main job of the office building of the group company is to be responsible for the increasingly large orders that will gradually increase in the future and the needs of various financial activities. These require the recruitment of a considerable number of employees to maintain, and also require a very good information processing server.
This is also a way for Xia Lin to absorb the power of the infected people of Longmen. After all, any company that focuses on physical trading needs such a department that does not need to have substantive contact with customers - the customer service department.
And these characters who only need to stay in front of the terminal and use their own Originium skills to work are no problem at all for the infected to execute. normal or infected.
The flower-like device on the top is a communicator used to communicate with the snowfield and other company departments and bases in the future. The communication towers on the snowfield are enough to undertake this relay work. To establish a trade network on the mainland, it is first necessary to establish a network that can cover it. information network.
"So, you are playing with wetware again, who is the victim this time?" The white rabbit looked at the weird things in the underground server room, the cube-like biological chipsets, and all the summer chips that connected the entire old city. The connecting device of the group's terminal, a flower of flesh and blood that is too beautiful to be seen.
Like the other shore flower blooming in hell, the bright red blood vessels and nerve fibers bloom in the metal flowerpot, swinging slowly in the clear fetal serum, just like gently swaying petals in the wind, the delicate flower leaves end , Countless nerve fibers invisible to the naked eye are connected to each communication device.
It is the backbone of the entire biological processing center. It sends all terminal signals to the biochip array for processing, and then outputs the results. The transmission method used is nerve potential transmission, which is sufficient to meet the needs.
"I don't know, the life sample provided by Dr. Kelsey, I just did simple cloning and cultivation, and removed the limit on the number of cell divisions" which is equivalent to an artificial tumor.
This is a very important technology in the agricultural production of the Star Alliance. It is a must-test point for "Free Organization Synthesis" in Xia Lin University. It is difficult to cultivate land on a spaceship, so most space stations, spaceships and other space creations use hydroponics, aeroponics, etc. Culture and tissue culture technology.
A large number of corresponding biological tissues can be obtained through this kind of artificial tumor that can consume inorganic substances that are easy to obtain and recover indefinitely to grow endlessly.
