Chapter 293 No matter men or women, they always like big ones
Building a lunar base is undoubtedly the establishment of a new small ecosystem on the moon. For current humans, this thing is a challenge similar to controlled nuclear fusion.
Of course, humans have done experiments on artificial ecosystems, but in the end they all ended in failure.
What limits all this is naturally the level of technology.
Solve the oxygen problem, safety problem, ecosystem circulation problem, and various large and small problems. Once these are solved, the ecosystem can be rebuilt!
Next, Qin Lu began to gradually improve the ecosystem to be established at the lunar base, and Dong Lijun was also dealing with the issue of buying land here.
Soon, the matter was handled. What is Qin Lu's current identity? He is definitely one of the most popular figures above. He didn't even think much about this, so he directly approved it to Qin Lu.
At the end of December and at the end of 2022, Qin Lu completed the design of the lunar ecosystem.
"Jarvis, based on the approximate data of the materials we collected on the moon before, calculate some of the materials and equipment we need to carry, and then calculate the cost. By the way, the most important thing is time!" Qin Lu said.
"Okay sir!"
Ten seconds later, Jarvis gave the answer.
"Sir, about 32.7% of things can be collected from the moon. In addition, we don't know the specific nature of some things on the moon, so I didn't calculate this part!" Jarvis said.
"Is this the best solution?" Qin Lu asked in confusion, looking at the matching table in front of him.
"Yes, sir, this is the best solution. In fact, more than 193% of the materials can be collected on the moon, but the cost of consumption is very high!" Jarvis replied.
"Okay, then purchase according to this ratio. Take your time. The new year is coming soon. Don't worry!" Qin Lu said.
"Okay sir!" said Jarvis.
"Yeah!" Qin Lu nodded.
The procurement is underway and the site has come down. Qin Lu is also planning to develop part of it first and then do other things.
In the name of the company, after placing a large building materials order for his father-in-law, Qin Lu first designed the scope and space, and then called Su Mo, and started digging with the robot arm.
Of course, because these lands are all their own this time, Qin Lu planned to build a building on the ground, but the main project is still under the ground.
At present, it is still safer underground. When the moon base is built in the future, there is no need to be so cautious. Then, when things are put on the moon...
Tsk tsk...
After planning, the mountains were dug, and then hundreds of robotic arms began to rush into work.
After Qin Lu spent a wonderful and tiring anniversary with Su Mo, he devoted himself to work again.
"Jarvis, I have a new idea!" Qin Lu sat in the laboratory, tilted his head and said to Jarvis.
"Sir, you said!" Jarvis said.
"It's the engine problem. We can't simply increase the size of the engine all the time, and ignore its most essential problem!" Qin Lu frowned.
"Sir, what's wrong with the engine? According to my rough calculations, if the spacecraft is designed to the size of an ordinary bomber, the engine it carries can reach hundreds of kilometers per second, which is completely beyond the maximum speed of the aircraft that humans can launch at present!" Jarvis said.
"Nevertheless, this is far from enough. If the third generation of Qin's alloy is simply a large aircraft and the curve is designed, what is the theoretical maximum flight speed?" Qin Lu looked at Jarvis and asked.
"Three thousand kilometers per second, I told you before!" Jarvis said.
"It's still nearly thirty times, so we need a bigger and better power engine. This is not a joke, but a power system that must and even must be developed during interstellar navigation in the future!" Qin Lu said.
"Okay, I understand, but what should we do?"
"I just don't know what to do. We need to make a decision together!" Qin Lu rolled his eyes and said.
Qin Lu began to look for information, and the first thing he considered was Curvature Engine, a thing that was written in science fiction novels and filmed in science fiction movies.
"The curvature engine is unrealistic, at least now, it is unrealistic!"
Qin Lu looked at the information about the curvature engine. Combined with his current knowledge, he found that the curvature engine was completely impossible to implement at present.
The development of power, from the most primitive eleventh road, to the later animal power, to the birth of steam engines, the birth of internal combustion engines, and then the aircraft's aircraft engines...
In a sense, the aircraft's aircraft engine is also an internal combustion engine.
The engine of a launch vehicle is also an internal combustion engine, which is driven by the power generated by fuel combustion.
The anti-gravity engine in Qin Lu's hand is actually a kind of internal combustion engine in a sense.
Qin Lu's anti-gravity engine uses the energy in the nuclear fusion reactor to generate stable energy output and then plays a driving role. Although nuclear fusion is not a combustion reaction, it is all energy generated internally to push the object forward.
To fundamentally change the speed of the thruster, it is useless to increase the energy alone, and it must be considered from the most fundamental way.
The most fundamental thing is the most essential thing.
The essential problem is the most difficult to solve, because it is subverting people's common sense cognition.
Humans’ basic understanding of engines is displacement. As long as the energy generated inside is large enough, it is awesome.
Haven't you seen those engines that accelerate for more than two seconds at any time are v12, w12, etc.
The carrying capacity of a general launch vehicle is also determined by its size and capacity.
Big is the eternal theme of mankind and will always like it.
Those who say it is right are all slapped in the face by facts.
Jobs said before that the size of Apple 5 is the most suitable for people, but later the size of Apple 789 is amazingly large.
So, both men and women like big ones.
The big one is not only beautiful, but also good, and can bring people happiness and happiness...
Ahem, I ran away!
To realize engine reform, we must reform the most basic common sense of the engine and break the rules in order to achieve engine breakthroughs.
"Jarvis, nowadays, we should use anti-gravity engines to produce fighter jets and transport spacecraft first. It is not very urgent at this stage!"
Qin Lu knew that the road had to be taken step by step and should not be too hasty, otherwise, it would be that the big one would enter (it might be harmonious, so I won’t write it).
"Okay sir!"
Chapter completed!
