Chapter 416 The Mothership Returns to Earth
"Superconducting magnetic coil detection completed!"
"Superconducting line inspection completed!"
"Fire test!"
Following the order from the operation center, the staff in front quickly checked the devices on site and immediately pushed up the main gate after confirming that they were correct.
A mechanical click suddenly came from the central device, followed by a low roar. The core reactor used for testing was suddenly activated, and various monitoring facilities quickly obtained data from it. The staff Staring nervously at the data information displayed on the screen...
Tens of seconds later, the operation center received a report that the reactor ignition test was normal.
"Are we being too cautious? The improved large-scale tokamak device in the Stuttgart Mountains has successfully transmitted power. These are very routine operations."
Several senior researchers in the operation center scanned the data and did not see any errors or problems. One of them couldn't help but said: "Let me just apply the experience there directly to this." That’s it.”
"Can this thing be applied?"
The senior researcher headed by him glanced at him and said: "We used conventional materials before. We are still using the same model as the earth. We use extremely rapid cooling to promote superconducting properties. However, many of the materials inside are made of... The new things on Xing's side are like the strong magnets on Mount Jodi, which are called magic stones. When added to the nuclear fusion reactor, they replaced the original basic materials..."
"...Actually, our test this time can be considered a completely new type. The key superconducting material has changed from a high-pressure and low-temperature superconductor to a room-temperature superconductor. This is an extremely critical breakthrough! The most important thing is, We also need to test today whether this batch of room-temperature superconducting materials still have superconducting properties at extremely high temperatures!”
"The tasks assigned to us by the association are arduous. We must not slack off after our initial successful experience. Research on nuclear fusion reactors is a new challenge at any time!"
Everyone responded loudly, and even the person who spoke up before said nothing. He just silently looked through the information. Everything the senior researcher who led the team said was the truth. What this group of people was transferred to study, It can be said to be the most advanced thing in the world at present. Previously on the Stuttgar Mountains of the Origin Star, the nuclear fusion reactor of the Red Dragon Association has actually completed positive output, and its power supply capacity has reached as the entire reactor has been improved. Very terrifying...
What they are currently studying is an upgraded version of the original nuclear fusion reactor. In addition to testing various properties of room temperature superconducting materials, they also have an extremely important task to complete - reducing the size of the nuclear reactor!
According to the data provided by Pioneer Aian, the thrusters and various energy engines used by the Pioneer Civilization have eliminated the original fusion devices. Humanity's current technological level cannot catch up, so the best choice is It is to start to break through nuclear fusion technology along the lines laid out at the beginning.
In this regard, the blueprint structure provided in the invisible building discovered was a key help.
After unlocking part of the technology tree, the blueprint opens up the blueprint for the nuclear fusion reactor for the Red Dragon Association. It not only includes the structural diagram of the large-scale nuclear fusion reactor, but most importantly, it also unlocks the blueprint structure of the miniaturized nuclear reactor.
A miniaturized nuclear reactor can be as small as a dining table. Its internal structure is significantly different from the commonly used isodigital thermoelectric battery. This type of fusion reactor itself is focused on usability, and it can be used as an engine for new aircraft propulsion. Energy, the main thing is a strong battery life and convenient control.
A group of scientific researchers have a heavy task. They know that the association now has an urgent need for some scientific research results. For this reason, the Red Dragon Association mobilizes elite backbones from all over the country to continuously enter the Origin Star. Most of them have entered the Stuttgar Mountains. Various scientific research sites nearby even made the Stuttgart Mountains a new scientific research holy land.
However, even if there is a design blueprint for the key technology, it will still take time to come up with it.
At present, the key nuclear reactor has completed multiple rounds of testing, and the positive output problem has long been solved. The next core solution is to reduce costs and miniaturize as much as possible. To this end, the Red Dragon Association has mobilized a scientific research team of 1400 people. , which is divided into five core scientific research groups, striving to thoroughly study it within half a year.
……
President Flo's special plane disappeared over the airport, and the group of people below dispersed. The vice president of the association was walking and talking on the phone at this time.
"...a batch of synthetic room-temperature superconducting materials were presented as gifts, as well as some natural ones. I think they were as happy as if they were celebrating the New Year."
"The material doesn't matter. It doesn't matter even if we explain to them how this thing came from. After all, we control the supply of core materials - without isomer powder, they simply can't make this thing."
President Li had a kind attitude on the phone, "That guy Fro is really cunning. At first, he just wanted to use the land in the Far East to fool us. To be honest, I don't like the place over there. There are many places there. The land is not suitable for human beings to live for a long time. It has been sparsely populated for so many years. Is it really because he said he has no energy to develop it? Is it because the ecological environment there is not suitable? "
The vice-president responded with a smile, and then said to President Li: "I heard that the White Eagle Association has submitted multiple proposals to jointly develop the Origin Star? We don't care about the United Association's affairs?"
"What does he care about? Let him make noises."
President Li seemed to be a little interested in this topic, "It's not the first day those guys used the United Association to handle their own personal affairs. After many proposals were submitted and approved by the majority, didn't they just pretend they didn't see it? "
"We also pretended not to see it and let the diplomats quarrel with them. We can talk more tactfully, but do nothing."
The vice president smiled and did not object at all. After he got into the special car, he thought about it and said to the other end of the phone: "Have you read the alternative plan we are going to announce next? My suggestion is Announcement of the super maglev train. After this thing is built, it can truly improve transportation convenience, and it can also be used as a publicity window..."
There was a pause on the other end of the phone for a while, and then Chairman Li's voice came out.
"The maglev train is indeed good, but the association has already built this type of project and even used it for many years. The association is already very clear about the advantages and disadvantages of this thing, and it may not be very effective if it is publicized." "My idea is to announce the Nantianmen plan... How many space carriers have been built on the Origin Star?"
The vice president thought for a moment, and he was still concerned about this kind of information. The construction of the space carrier is similar to the aircraft carrier built by the association. It is a huge project that requires a lot of manpower and material resources. However, the construction of the space carrier is all using the same technology. The ones are modular materials pulled from the Pioneer manufacturing workshop. Skilled workers are not even needed. Blue Star’s Fuxi AI can complete the rest of the assembly work...
However, the size of the Blue Sea Star's portal limited these tasks. A large number of complete components were transported back to the Origin Star. Fuxi AI did not directly participate in the follow-up work due to various reasons. The Origin Star used all engineering The team has currently completed one, and one third of the assembly has been completed.
"Only one. Including the original Tianwei, we currently have a total of two space carriers."
The vice-president answered truthfully, and President Li snorted slightly, then asked a very interesting question - "Can the Space Carrier pass through the core portal on the Origin Star?"
This time, the vice president was stunned. During his previous research, he only noticed that the core portal was very huge after the last upgrade. Its height may be as high as ten floors, but the specific height was really unimpressive.
President Li briefly looked through the information in front of him, quickly found the size data of the portal, smiled and said: "According to the existing upgraded portal, we cannot transport the space carrier completely. If it is to be forcibly transported back to Earth, at least one-third of the components will need to be dismantled, and the facilities on both sides of the portal will also need to be massively modified. "
"It's indeed a bit difficult to handle."
President Li hummed softly and said to the vice-president on the other end of the phone: "In that case, the two completed space carriers should stay on the Origin Star. One of them will be used as a Experimental hull, the other one is used as a combat readiness force. If possible, it can be modified in the future and turned into a starship..."
The plan was simply decided. After the vice president hung up the phone, he began to assign the following staff to make corresponding changes. The aerospace carrier, which had already been built for one-third, began to prepare to be transferred to the earth. Before that, it was still necessary to Transport all the components to the Earth first.
If you take out any of the huge ship parts, it will be several times the size of a fan blade of a wind turbine. Fortunately, it is not a whole body. The portal can still eat it, and it took some time to transport it. .
The weapons, equipment and protective devices currently equipped on the space carrier can be regarded as a real dimensionality reduction blow for the earth at this time.
Because of the huge size of the aerospace carrier, and the extremely rapid development of missiles and anti-air weapons on the other side of the earth, the application of protective devices was focused on when designing the aerospace carrier.
The scientific research team on the Origin Star used the technology from the fallen spacecraft on the Origin Star, combined with some of the technologies provided by the Pioneer Civilization, to successfully construct a mothership active protection device for the Space Carrier - called the [East Emperor Bell]. 】defensive equipment.
[Donghuang Bell] The protection device is also called a force field protection device. It does not use a single form of energy for protection, but uses a multi-layer protection mechanism. It has the effect of electromagnetic field and pulse protection, and can protect against multiple attacks. During the test, the surface-to-air missiles launched from the ground exploded directly without touching the outer area of the mothership, which perfectly demonstrated the power of the Donghuang Bell's protective device.
Of course, this kind of protection device is not invincible. Because it is a composite protection device, the entire protection system consumes a lot of energy. Ordinary propulsion engines simply cannot drive such a huge energy loss, even if it is an aerospace carrier. The ship is using the latest version of the spar engine. This version of the spar engine can drive the space carrier to fly non-stop in the sky for more than ten years on a regular basis, but it cannot withstand the continuous full activation of the [Donghuang Bell] protection system. Last week.
Therefore, the aerospace carrier will only activate the conventional protection system, and generally use modern commonly used ship-based artillery to intercept. If there is a threat, they will judge which part of the Donghuang Bell system they need to activate based on the threat.
If it is really necessary to activate all the functions of the [Donghuang Bell] protection system, then it may not be an ordinary minor problem.
Maybe it's the stage where nuclear weapons, the top killer weapons, need to be used.
The transfer of the aerospace carrier was quickly discovered by the people here in Shanhai City. One-third of the aerospace carrier that was built still has a length of hundreds of meters. Although the height has not yet increased, its extremely large size As soon as they came out of the portal, everyone who saw this scene felt physically and mentally shocked.
Such a huge guy suddenly appeared in front of us, just like a small boat on the ocean encountering a huge group of blue whales!
The transportation work around the portal has stopped long ago, and now thousands of workers are running to move this huge structure, causing the entire Hongshan Base to become lively.
The outsourcing satellite that had been monitoring the Hongshan Base in Shanhai City quickly captured this scene. They quickly passed the news to the Intelligence Bureau, and the Director of the Intelligence Bureau came to them with the photo they had just printed out. President Richard.
"what is this?"
President Richard stared at the behemoth that appeared in the photo for a moment. He asked the person in charge in front of him: "Is this another monster created by the association opposite? It seems to be hundreds of meters in size..." …”
"According to the comparison objects on site, this thing is about 185 meters long."
The person in charge said calmly: "What is shown in the photo should not be everything. If this thing is completed, it will be at least 220 meters long. According to the intelligence, this is a new type of space carrier."
President Richard threw the photo directly on the table, stared at the person in charge, and said word by word: "Are you kidding me?"
"I'm not joking, sir."
The person in charge took out a piece of information from his pocket again. He unfolded it and read to President Richard, "...They call it the 'Tianwei' space carrier. The length of this thing is 240 meters, with some kind of energy shield capability. Ordinary missiles and artillery are completely ineffective against it. Due to the size of the portal, it cannot be transported back to Earth from the Origin Star..."
After he finished reading, he looked at President Richard coldly: "This is the message sent back by our people. The data is true."
President Richard suddenly leaned back in despair: "What a monster... What did they get from behind that damn portal!?"
