Chapter 150 Dream in the sea of ??stars(1/2)
Twenty minutes ago, Herich carefully looked at the hard drive found from the experimental subject Adams, but at first he didn't care much.
But after seeing the database of various sections of the thrusters with a well-classified classification, he found that this thing didn't seem to be a joke.
"There are even data on engineering test conclusions?"
Having this means it has been made and tested in a vacuum.
"The operating power of a single ion thruster is 800pw, which accelerates the body weighing 100 tons, and the maximum speed in vacuum can reach 315km/s."
"The acceleration time is three hours...what, only three hours?"
"It can actually have an acceleration of 3 g!"
Herich was shocked. The best ion thruster now has an acceleration of only 0.028 g.
And through long acceleration, the final speed of only 40km/s can be achieved, which is capped.
According to the progress of his own design, it is expected to design an ion propeller that can accelerate to 100km/s within ten years.
Within 20 years, a thruster of up to 220km/s was designed. Even if it was improved to this point, the thruster would need to accelerate day and night for more than ten days!
"Are these experimental data true?"
Herich carefully checked the data of this unknown ion thruster and found that this conclusion was correct.
At least from the data recorded in the hard disk alone, it only takes three hours to accelerate a hundred tons of heavy objects to 300 kilometers per second.
“This is great…”
Herich immediately returned to check the design model of the thruster. The more he looked, the more fascinated he became. The overall design was simply perfect.
The structure is simple and precise, light and efficient.
More importantly, most of the materials and technologies used in it are now possible, except for two materials.
The general material of this thruster requires the use of superconductors to convert and transport electricity, which not only saves space, reduces the quality of the thruster itself, but also greatly improves efficiency.
"But to achieve this, it must be a normal temperature superconductor, at least it must withstand a certain high temperature, without the need for power consumption and cooling to maintain superconducting performance."
"There will be light, but it does not produce energy..."
"And what is this thing?"
Herich found that the propellant it uses is not a gas, but a solid propellant block named "Five Colorful Stone".
It has a single-layer structure at the nano-level, layered, but it is much more complex than graphene.
Separating the "Five Colorful Stone" through an electric field can cause the electrons of the substance it contains to be deprived and turn into ions to erupt from the other side.
This is equivalent to a 'cube', ionized in an orderly manner, and negatively charged electrons are attracted to one side and the other side constantly injecting positively charged ions, thereby providing continuous thrust.
Its characteristics are very magical. The particles on it are always released layer by layer. In other words, under ionization, it will not disappear in a flash.
Instead, one side begins to become thinner, and finally becomes a sliver from a square until it disappears.
This obviously makes up for the disadvantage of erupting too little working fluid per unit time.
“This composite material is awesome and can be manufactured if it has nanotechnology.”
"But... what about the production process?"
Herich was so excited to watch it, and then... he arrived at the critical point and was gone.
"groove!"
This unique ‘spontaneous direct injection material’ is too complicated, although the design drawings in the hard disk present its structure.
But if there is no relevant production process, it means that it can only arrange it at the nano level, one atom at atom, how many years will it take to build a piece?
"Why are there no below!"
Herich kept searching, but he couldn't find the production process of this solid propellant.
"Who designed this thing? Even without this so-called colorful stone, the entire ion propeller is twenty years ahead of the Illuminati and thirty to fifty years ahead of the world."
He never expected that there was another force on this planet who had a higher technical level than the Illuminati.
"I remember that new captive is a black market businessman, right?"
"Where did he get this hard drive?"
Strong curiosity forced Herich to immediately run to find Adams.
He came to the drug laboratory, where there were already researchers who were conducting a full-scale physical examination for Adams.
Herich couldn't wait, and before Adams finished his medical examination, he stopped everyone and then took Adams to a conversation room alone.
This conversation room is usually asked about the experience of the experimenter. This kind of work is not the turn of a person in charge like Herich, but he can do it.
"Hello, Adams, where did you get this hard drive?" Herich took out his hard drive and asked.
Adams was silent for a moment, looked at the other person carefully, and then said for a while: "What's your name?"
Herich was stunned and said, "You can call me Professor Herich."
Adams thought to himself that I have been waiting for you for a long time, and took a deep breath and said, "This hard drive was handed over to me by a Messiah researcher."
Herich looked strange and said, "How is it possible? The Messiah has this technique?"
"Why can't there be?" Adams asked back.
Herich was about to speak, but Adams interrupted him and said, "I understand. All your knowledge of the Messiah comes from the internal publicity of the Illuminati. It's like your understanding of the Chinese comes from the Americans."
"..." Herich had nothing to say. He stayed in the institute all year round and his understanding of the Messiah was indeed very one-sided.
Most of them were heard by the audience, and they thought it was a very weak resistance organization composed of a group of arrogant men.
"So the Messiah is far less one-sided than we thought... How much do you know about the content on the hard drive?" Herich asked seriously.
Adams spread his hands and said, "I'm not a researcher, nor even a Messiah, I'm just a black market businessman."
"They sold this thing to me just to exchange for some money. They told me not to sell it in the United States, so I plan to find a buyer in the future. I believe that China and Japan like aerospace technology very much."
"What a pity, I have a grudge with Guangminghui, and I can't escape being lynched by you..."
Herich frowned, he had no interest in Adams' personal grudges.
When he heard Adams say that the Messiah sold this technique to Adams, he just wanted to cash out, and he was so shocked that he wanted to jump up.
This means that the Messiah has better technology!
In this way, it is natural that there is no production process of "Five Colorful Stone". The value of this thing is too great and is probably much more than just used in ion propellers.
Without colorful stones, and using gaseous propellants such as xenon and argon, the entire ion push machine has a much lower value, which means that its performance is only 20 years ahead of the contemporary era.
"How high is the Messiah technology? According to the data in this hard disk, it means that they have built this kind of thruster and conducted vacuum tests, and may even have been used on small unmanned spacecraft and flew through space orbit."
"They have such a good industrial foundation?" Herich asked.
"I don't know how many good things they have, but definitely more than the Light would imagine," Adams said.
"I just know that they are devoted to the space field and are desperately trying to build an interstellar spacecraft."
He said casually, but Herich listened.
And he instantly thought it was an organization that was constantly suppressed and wiped out by the Light Society, but was constantly rekindled, and even tried his best to build a spaceship.
Herich was instantly moved.
Because he knew very well that the Light will be the opposite of it. He had no interest in developing the aerospace field at all.
"Oh, that's right. The investment in R&D of Illuminati Aerospace Power is too low. According to the current emphasis, even if I designed this kind of thruster, it may not be able to be built in a hundred years..."
Herich closed his eyes. Although the Illuminati had a strong industrial foundation, the institutes were blooming everywhere.
However, because the little gray people on the moon do not like it, the Light Club is flattering and has a dissatisfied attitude in the aerospace field, which has led to its development very slowly.
It’s like no matter how smart a person is, no matter how good his family background and educational resources are, he can’t resist his love of studying.
Even if children from poor families are a little stupid or have poor educational environment, if they devote themselves to it, they will try their best to read it out.
Then it is reasonable for him to surpass the former.
The Illuminati has dominated the military strength of a country, and its biochemical technology is the world's best. Medical, weapons, energy, automation and other technologies have invested a lot of energy and resources.
This is a wholehearted desire to live a good life, but does not care about the stars and the sea at all.
Herich lamented: "The Light will have such a good foundation. If I have fully supported me, I will mobilize various human and material resources, but how can I see this kind of propeller from others... I have designed a new concept space shuttle in one year, put into production in three years, and I can send people to Mars in five years."
There are all materials and productivity, as long as it is combined and used. It depends purely on his spare time and his love, over the past ten years, he has designed one-third of the spaceships to Mars!
The more Herich thought about it, the more angry he became. He was an astronautist! Is his brain worse than others? He gave him the entire garbage project every year!
Just like the nano cream, what a good spacesuit material, it is not efficient to block shells, but it is very good at resistant to the accelerations experienced by the human body.
Put it on, people can withstand an acceleration of 60g without dying.
Herich has devoted a lot of effort to this cream and his love for the space dream.
But in the end, he could only use it as individual armor or use it as accessories in industrial production machinery.
"The Messiah also has talented scientists and a good production industrial foundation. What's more, they have a heart that flies into space."
Herich's eyes flashed. He was an ideal scientist. At this moment, he suddenly realized that even if he had everything in the Light Society, he could not realize his dream. However, even though he went to the Messiah, despite the danger, he had the possibility of realizing his dream.
To be continued...
