Chapter 21 The research on the controllable nuclear fusion technology of Nozomi has been carried out by humans for decades. During these times, although human beings have not broken through the shackles of this technology, they have also accumulated a huge amount of research materials in a large number of researches. These materials provide Xiao Yu with a very important reference.

Especially when the Jupiter collided, the phenomenon that happened above Jupiter taught Xiao Yu a very important lesson.

On these foundations, with the powerful computing power of photonic computers, Xiao Yu finally achieved a very important technological breakthrough today.

Base No. 2, in the controllable nuclear fusion research laboratory, there is a huge glass box, and the outside is covered with various lines - these lines will generate a specific magnetic field. Just under the constraints of this magnetic field, in the center of the glass box, there is a very bright and dazzling light spot suspended in mid-air, radiating a huge amount of light and heat all the time, making it impossible for people to look directly.

They are undergoing nuclear fusion, from deuterium and tritium, into helium. During this process, some of the mass is converted into energy.

Xiao Yu allocated 10% of his computing power to pay attention to this place, and quickly performed various calculations.

Looking at the experimental data, Xiao Yu was inexplicably excited. He waited for this moment, it was too long.

Interstellar travel on chemical fuels is unrealistic. Because its energy efficiency ratio is too low, if you really want to rely on chemical fuels to travel from the solar system to the Tianyuan four star system, Xiao Yu estimates that he will build a kilometer-level spacecraft and fill more than 90% of its space with fuel. Just barely enough.

It can be said that controllable nuclear fusion technology is a stepping stone to the door of interstellar navigation. Without controllable nuclear fusion, relying solely on chemical fuels, Xiao Yu will limit his immortality to the solar system, and he will not be able to get out.

Okay, a new generation of nuclear fusion powered spacecraft, start building!

Xiao Yu started a new plan. He wants to build an epoch-making spaceship that adopts the latest technology in power system, structural materials, or control system.

All the constructions carried out in the early stage serve this purpose.

The huge special steel smelting blast furnace flows out dark red molten steel all the time. These molten steel will be condensed and turned into steel ingots for processing. However, Xiao Yu added another process before condensing.

This process is to expose the molten steel to radiation from No. 1 for about five minutes before it condenses.

After experiments, Xiao Yu found that when the metal is in a high temperature liquid state, the radiation exposure from No. 1 can achieve the greatest performance improvement with the smallest radiation intensity. Therefore, the poor Number One was caught here by Xiao Yu and acted as a coolie selling his blood.

These five minutes of radiation exposure are enough to increase the various properties of these special steels by more than three times.

During the smelting process of these steels, Xiao Yu also added the corpses of those black bugs according to a certain proportion. In this way, these steels have been greatly improved in terms of thermal insulation performance and radiation protection performance. .

Xiao Yu is doing his best to build the highest quality materials. These materials, after being processed in the equipment manufacturing room, will become the parts of this great and epoch-making ship.

In the huge assembly workshop of the main base, various components from at least hundreds of equipment manufacturing rooms are gathered. There are at least hundreds of robots busy here, assembling various precision components one by one, and it took half a year to complete the construction of the spacecraft.

This is a dish-shaped spaceship with a diameter of 20 meters and a height of about five meters. The power system adopts a nuclear fusion engine, the control system adopts the latest photonic computer, and the construction material adopts the highest quality steel that Xiao Yu can produce. . This is a spacecraft that has gathered Xiao Yu's efforts. This is Xiao Yu's current technology,

The most advanced spacecraft ever built.

In order to build this spacecraft, the radiation intensity of No. 1 was directly reduced to 30 percent of the maximum radiation intensity, and 70 percent of the radiation intensity was used up. The corpse of the black bug used up nearly 200 tons, accounting for 30% of the current reserves.

Although the consumption is so huge, Xiao Yu believes that these are all worth it. Even if the radiation intensity of No. 1 is used up, he can still go to Jupiter to capture it. As for the corpse of the black bug, Xiao Yu is not worried. During this period of time, Xiao Yu discovered this creature in at least a thousand larger lakes on Titan. It is expected that its total storage will reach several million tons. Xiao Yu has built a large fleet.

Today is the day for the test flight of the spacecraft.

Xiao Yu stopped most of the construction progress and allocated at least 40% of the computing power here - 40% of the total computing power of the photonic computer, which is almost equal to the total computing power of all supercomputers on the earth. .

Be sure to make sure nothing goes wrong. Xiao Yu thought silently in his heart, You carry the hope of my interstellar voyage. Let's call you Hope.

The mass of the Hope is about 3,000 tons. This level of spacecraft is classified by Xiao Yu into the Village level spacecraft. If a spacecraft of more than 10,000 tons is built in the future, it will be classified by Xiao Yu into the township level spacecraft category, and so on. There are several different categories such as level and national level.

The village-level spaceship, Hope, under Xiao Yu's full attention, a light blue flame spewed from the bottom of the spaceship and slowly left the ground.

Yes, the Hope spacecraft doesn't need a rocket to send it into interstellar space, but instead has the ability to take off directly. Because its powerful and efficient power system can provide it with enough durable and strong power, and advanced material technology ensures that it is not designed according to aerodynamics, nor will it be affected by the gravitational force of the planet and the Air resistance shreds.

Ten seconds later, Hope was three kilometers off the ground. The huge friction made its shell slightly reddish, and the temperature was estimated to be above 800 degrees Celsius. But Xiao Yu was not worried at all. The shell of the spaceship made of special steel mixed with black bug corpses is a little bit of a problem to withstand this temperature.

It was getting faster and faster, and after a minute, Hope was 100 kilometers off the ground and reached Titan's orbit, but he was still accelerating.

At this time, the communication between Xiao Yu and Hope was entirely dependent on the twelve Ares satellites launched earlier.

Xiao Yu steered the Hope to leave Titan, and there was a sudden brake in the interstellar space, and the speed suddenly dropped from three kilometers per second to almost stationary.

Spaceship anti-overload test...passed.

The acceleration of gravity above the earth is 9.8 meters per second, which means that on a spaceship that is accelerating at a speed of 9.8 meters per second every moment, due to the effect of inertia, a person feels to the same gravity as on Earth.

If the spaceship were accelerating at 19.6 meters per second, the person would feel twice the gravity of Earth.

This is overload. A trained super pilot can withstand ten times the overload, that is to say, the human body can withstand an acceleration of 98 meters per second. Exceeding this acceleration, the human body will suffer irreparable damage or even death.

And the hull of the spacecraft also has an overload limit that can be tolerated. Ordinary large aircraft can withstand a maximum overload of about twenty times. If this value is exceeded, the body will be torn apart by inertial force and air resistance.

Before the destruction of the earth, the spacecraft built by humans could probably withstand 30 to 40 times the overload, which is a maximum acceleration of 400 meters per second. If this limit is exceeded, the spacecraft will also be torn apart by inertial force.

Xiao Yu just tested his spaceship. Test results show that it can withstand approximately a maximum of two hundred and thirty times the overload! In other words, Xiao Yu's spaceship can withstand a maximum acceleration of 2,200 meters per second!

This means that the Hope spacecraft can change from a static state to a state of running two kilometers per second within one second, or it can stop instantly during the high-speed operation of two kilometers per second.

This means extremely powerful flexibility. With such powerful flexibility, combined with Xiao Yu's terrifying calculation speed, even if there are tens of thousands of people and tens of thousands of guns fired at the Hope at the same time, Xiao Yu can also control the Hope. In a matter of seconds, the bullets were completely dodged.

After the anti-overload test was completed, Xiao Yu launched another test.

Regular fuel storage, maximum running speed test.

In space travel, the only fuel that consumes fuel is acceleration, deceleration and course changes. The normal flight mainly relies on inertia, and this stage does not consume fuel.

The fastest spacecraft ever built by humans, powered by chemical fuel or nuclear fission, is Voyager 1, whose speed is about 18 kilometers per second relative to the sun. Why can't its speed be increased any more? Precisely because of fuel constraints. Before Xiao Yu reached Titan, he had reached a speed of 60 kilometers per second because he received extra fuel.

Now what Xiao Yu wants to test is that the Hope carries the usual amount of fuel, and how fast it can support it.

A powerful blue flame spewed from the rear of the Hope, and it began to accelerate at a terrifying speed, getting faster and faster.

Conventional fuel storage, maximum operating speed... 300 kilometers per second! Conventional fuel storage can support Nozomi's acceleration and deceleration more than six times! If you don't consider the deceleration problem, only consider the maximum engine power and keep accelerating. Then, when the fuel is exhausted, its speed can reach 1,000 kilometers per second!

This data shocked Xiao Yu.
