#428 - A new node in the nuclear fusion era
Sporeship quietly hovered in Earth's orbit.
It was undergoing refitting and upgrading, and its solar panels were gone, making it look somewhat slimmer.
However, that was only because people were used to seeing its 'large front,' which was when the solar array was deployed on one side and viewed from the side of the ship.
Of course, the solar panels on Sporeship could also be retracted, like now. With the solar panels retracted, Sporeship looked more compact and slimmer, and also appeared more robust.
In fact, it was indeed more robust.
A few months ago, Navigator led humanity into the era of controlled nuclear fusion. Tian Xia signed a construction contract with them on the same day to build a controlled nuclear fusion power station. While some countries were still discussing whether to build controlled nuclear fusion power stations in their own countries, Navigator Corporation had already begun to expand and upgrade its existing controlled nuclear fusion technology.
Soon after, Navigator's lunar base used controlled nuclear fusion. Judging from the size of the device and the design of the casing, it was clear that Navigator Corporation's controlled nuclear fusion technology had been upgraded.
It was not only more efficient, but also smaller in size.
The key was that on the moon, it could directly use the 'freshly produced' Helium-3, and then output energy to extract more Helium-3 to provide to Earth.
After another period of time, Navigator announced that they had cracked the technology for ship-borne controlled nuclear fusion reactors.
Just when the outside world thought that Navigator would cooperate with Tian Xia to build the latest generation of nuclear fusion submarines, nuclear fusion destroyers, nuclear fusion amphibious assault ships, and nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, Navigator actually stated that the 'ship' in 'ship-borne' referred to spaceships!
Spaceships?
Damn!
It was actually a controlled nuclear fusion device used in spacecraft!
Was humanity finally going to use the legendary interstellar spacecraft?
Sure enough, the technological iteration in science fiction movies couldn't keep up with reality!
Navigator, forever a god!!
Just when the outside world thought that Navigator was going to announce the design and construction plan of a new spaceship, what they were waiting for was Navigator's modification of Sporeship.
But after a little thought, it made sense.
Building a new spaceship was too troublesome. Not only did it require designing from scratch, researching various plans, and the construction of the first ship would often take a long time. Therefore, a new ship from scratch would take too long to wait. It was much faster to modify an existing ship.
Of course, referring to some modification cases on Earth, there were also modifications that were expensive and time-consuming. With that money and time, it would be enough to build two new ships, but Sporeship was obviously different.
It was originally assembled in a modular way, and adding a new energy module could be said to be very simple.
Navigator's plan was to dock the nuclear fusion device between the xenon propellant tank and the node cabin, so that the spacecraft would be more slender, but without the deployed solar panels, Navigator also strengthened some nodes of the spacecraft, so Sporeship might be more maneuverable than before.
After all, the deployed solar panels used to be thin and large, and any turning action with excessive G-force could easily cause them to break, so Sporeship flew very carefully.
Now it was better, the solar panels were no longer a burden. Of course, they were not directly removed, but only retracted.
If necessary, they could be deployed again to provide power to the spacecraft.
For example, when the nuclear fusion device malfunctioned, or when the nuclear fuel was exhausted.
Mainly because this ship-borne nuclear fusion device was the first one, and this installation on Sporeship was also for testing purposes, so it was better to be safe.
If it proved to be no problem, subsequent spacecraft could consider canceling the solar panels.
Of course, maybe leaving one or two would be good, just in case.
Anyway, there was no need for so many.
After all, a spaceship full of solar panels was cumbersome and fragile, but because of technical problems, there was no other way.
Now it was better, the ship-borne nuclear fusion module had arrived.
However, nuclear fusion modules were quite expensive, so for a long time to come, except for most of Navigator's long-range spaceships and the valuable long-range spaceships of major countries, the others should still use solar panels for power supply.
And today was the day when humanity's first nuclear fusion spaceship took off for a long voyage.
In the live broadcast screen, Tang Chao appeared in the command center again. This time, the screen not only showed him, but also four aliens.
Linus and others were here to watch the ceremony.
In the eyes of outsiders, this was a testament to the friendship between aliens and Tang Chao, but Linus said that this was just the BOSS's task.
They had been on Earth for a year, and they knew enough about this place, so naturally they were not interested in going outside to stroll around. Wouldn't it be better to spend that time in the company researching wormhole technology?
During this year, Tang Chao ran to Canxing many times, bringing Linus and others a lot of the latest technological equipment from Canxing, and bringing the wormhole research data over there, and the two sides conducted research at the same time.
During this time, Navigator had unmanned cargo ships and Sporeship run to Mars a few times, transporting some scientific research and exploration equipment, and then casually throwing back some scientific data and ignoring them, as if they were disposable equipment.
In fact, those exploration devices were used to study wormholes, and after sending back some data, they flew to the spatial coordinates where Linus and others rushed out of.
You have to say, the two sides working together really made the research progress a lot faster.
However, the time flow rate on both sides was different after all, so the main contribution was still from Canxing. The Earth side mainly provided a 'mirror' data, and then Tang Chao went to Canxing from time to time to bring back some of the latest data to update the database on the Earth side.
The latest novels are first published on Liǔ 9 Shū Bā!
Canxing had already explored the two star systems that Tang Chao had added as MODs, and they found that they were completely locked in a small space. Except for this wormhole, they had no other way to get out of the 'universe'.
In this regard, they still did not doubt the authenticity of the world. They only wanted to get out of their own 'universe' and find their origin.
Speaking of origin, in fact, Tang Chao had already let Linus and others play 'Canxing Space Program', but they did not feel any abnormality at all, and said that this game was a bit like their side and was quite interesting to play.
That was all.
This made Tang Chao a little confused again. If they didn't know this source, then what was the 'source' they were looking for?
During this time, Linus and others were drilling in the laboratory every day, studying wormhole information all the time. Tang Chao pulled them out to get some air, otherwise outsiders would have thought that he had dissected the four aliens.
In addition to running to Canxing, he also went to the moon a few times. After all, Canxing's technology had been upgraded so much, and the secret base on the moon had to be upgraded as well.
After the upgrade, the construction speed of the secret base was indeed much faster, whether it was the base construction speed or the ship construction speed.
Compared to Navigator's first nuclear fusion, experimental, exploration, passenger and cargo, armed, rotating simulated gravity spacecraft Sporeship, the spacecraft in the secret base were much more advanced and professional.
However, the spacecraft there were all used to prevent emergencies, not to make the human world fall into confusion.
It was better for human civilization to develop little by little.
If it could not develop steadily in a pentagonal shape, unilateral development would be too fast, and the whole would easily collapse.
After another while, the upgraded Sporeship finally completed the inspection, and the astronauts on board reported the situation to the ground.
Sporeship would not make a separate trip just to test the ship-borne nuclear fusion device, so it carried several scientific researchers, and their destination this time was still Mars, to bring back the previous batch of scientific researchers.
It had been a long time, and the previous batch of scientific researchers should return to Earth to recuperate.
Although the nuclear fusion device was in the experimental stage, there was no need to worry about safety issues. It would not be installed on a manned spacecraft without safety guarantees.
Even if something went wrong, or even there was a risk of explosion, it could quickly detach from the node cabin, ensuring that the astronauts could escape to a safe area and wait for rescue.
