Twenty minutes ago, Herich's hard drive had been scrutinized from Adams, who at first didn't pay much attention.

But after looking at the database of the well-categorized thruster segments inside, he realized that this thing didn't seem to be drawn and played.

"There is even data on the conclusion of engineering tests?"

Having this means that it has been made and tested in a vacuum.

"A single ion thruster has an operating power of 800 kW, accelerates to a 100-ton body, and can reach a maximum speed of 315 km/s in a vacuum. ”

"The acceleration duration is three hours...... What, just three hours?"

"You can have an acceleration of 3 Gs!"

Herich was taken aback, the best ion thruster now, with an acceleration of only 0.028 G.

And after a long acceleration, the final speed that can be reached is only 40km/s, and it is capped.

According to the progress of his own design, it is expected that within ten years, he will be able to design an ion thruster that can accelerate to 100 km/s.

In 20 years, a thruster of up to 220km/s was designed, and 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 real?"

Herich carefully checked the data of the unknown ion thruster and found that this conclusion was correct.

At least judging from the data recorded on the hard disk, it only takes three hours to accelerate a 100-ton weight to 300 kilometers per second.

"It's awesome......"

Herich immediately returned to look at the design model of the thruster, and the more he looked at it, the more fascinated he became, and the overall design was simply perfect.

The structure is simple and precise, light and efficient.

What's more, most of the materials and technologies used in it can be done now, except for two materials.

The general material of the thruster needs to use superconductors, which can convert and transport electrical energy with zero loss, which not only saves space, reduces the mass of the thruster itself, but also greatly improves efficiency.

"But to do that, it has to be a room-temperature superconductor, at least at some high temperatures, without the need for its own power to cool to maintain its superconductivity. ”

"The Illuminati are there, but they can't be mass-produced......"

"And what is this thing?"

Herich discovered that the propellant it used was not gas, but a solid propellant called 'multicolored stone'.

It is a single-layer structure at the nanoscale, layered on top of each other, but it is far more complex than graphene.

By separating the 'multicolored stone' by an electric field, the electrons of the substance it contains can be deprived and turned into ions that erupt from the other side at high speed.

This is the equivalent of a 'square', where the negatively charged electrons are attracted to one side and the other side is constantly sprayed with positively charged ions, which in turn provides a sustained thrust.

Its properties are amazing, and the particles on it are always released layer by layer. In other words, under ionization, it is not in an uproar.

Rather, one side begins to thin and thin, and finally changes from a block to a sheet until it disappears.

In this way, it is obvious that the ion thruster can make up for the shortcomings of too little working fluid per unit of time.

"This composite is so well designed that with nanotechnology, it can be manufactured. ”

"But...... What about the craftsmanship?"

Herich really looked at it, and then ...... Arrived at the key place, gone.

"Groove!"

This unique 'spontaneous direct injection substance' is too complex, even though there are design drawings on the hard drive showing its structure.

But if there is no relevant production process, it means that he can only arrange it atom by atom at the nano level, how young will it take to build a piece?

"Why isn't there down there?"

Herich searched endlessly, but he just couldn't find the process of making this solid propellant.

Even without this so-called multicolored stone, the entire ion thruster was twenty years ahead of the Illuminati and thirty to fifty years ahead of the world. ”

He never thought that there was any other force on this planet with a higher level of technology than the Illuminati.

"The new captive, I think it's a black marketeer, right?"

"Where did he get this hard drive?"

A strong curiosity forced Herich to immediately run to Adams.

He went to the drug lab, where there were already researchers, and he was giving Adams a full physical examination.

Herich, impatient, stopped everyone before Adams could finish his medical examination, and then took Adams alone to a conversation room.

This conversation room is usually done by asking the subject about his feelings, and this kind of work is not the turn of a person like Herich, but he can do it if he wants to.

"Hello, Adams, where did you get this hard drive?" asked Herich, pulling out the hard drive.

Adams was silent for a moment, looked at the other party carefully, and then said, "What's your name?"

Herich was stunned for a moment and said, "You can call me Professor Herich." ”

Adams said in his heart that I have been waiting for you for a long time, took a deep breath and said, "This hard drive was given to me by a Messianic researcher. ”

Herich's face was strange, and he said, "How is it possible?

"Why can't there be?" asked Adams rhetorically.

Herich was about to speak, but Adams interrupted him again and said, "I see, all you know about the Messiah comes from the internal propaganda of the Illuminati. It's as if your understanding of the Chinese comes from the United States. ”

"......" Herich has nothing to say, he has been in the institute all the year round, and his understanding of the Messiah is indeed very one-sided.

Most of them were observers, and they thought it was a very weak rebellion group composed of a group of megalomaniacs.

"So the Messiah is far less one-sided than we think...... How much do you know about what's on the hard drive?" asked Herich, serious.

Adams spread his hands and said, "I'm not a researcher, I'm not even a Messiah, I'm just a black marketeer. ”

"They sold it to me just to get some money. They told me not to sell in the country, so I was going to find a buyer later. I believe that China and Japan are very fond of space technology. ”

"It's a pity, I have a bit of a grudge against the Illuminati, and in the end I can't escape being lynched by you......"

Herich's brows furrowed, he had no interest in Adams' personal vendettas.

Hearing Adams say that the Messiah sold this technology to Adams just to cash out, he was so shocked that he wanted to jump.

This means that the Messiah has better technology!

In this way, there is no production process for 'multicolored stones', and it is a matter of course, the value of this thing is too great, and I am afraid that it is far more than just used in ion thrusters.

There is no multicolored stone, but the gaseous propellant of xenon and argon is used. The value of the whole ion push machine is greatly reduced, and the performance is only 20 years ahead of the contemporary era.

"How advanced is Messiah's technology? According to the data in this hard drive, it means that they have built this thruster, and they have conducted vacuum tests, and may even have been used in small unmanned spacecraft, flying in space orbit. ”

"They have such a good industrial base?" asked Herich.

"I don't know exactly how many good things they have, but it's definitely more than the Illuminati think," Adams said. ”

"All I know is that they are fully committed to the field of spaceflight, and they desperately want to build a starship. ”

He said it casually, but Herich listened.

And in an instant, the brain was replenished, an organization that was constantly suppressed and exterminated by the Illuminati, but it continued to resurrect, desperately trying to build a spaceship.

Herich's moment, he was moved.

Because he knows very well that the Illuminati will be the opposite. There is no interest in developing the field of astronautics at all.

"Alas, too, the Illuminati Aerospace Power's R&D investment is too low, and with the current level of attention, even if I design this kind of thruster, I may not be able to build it in a hundred years......"

Herich closed his eyes, despite the fact that the Illuminati had a strong industrial base and research institutes were everywhere.

But because the little gray men on the moon don't like it, the Illuminati, when they like it, have an attitude of not supporting and encouraging it in the field of aerospace, which makes it develop extremely 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 stand up to him not liking to read.

Children from poor families, even if they are stupid, even if they have a poor educational environment, if they devote themselves to it, they desperately want to read out.

Then it is reasonable for him to surpass the former.

The Illuminati military strength is the largest in the world, the biochemical technology is the best in the world, and a lot of energy and resources have been invested in medical, weapon, energy, automation and other technologies.

This is a single-minded desire to live a good life, and does not care about the stars and the sea at all.

Herichy lamented: "The Illuminati have such a good foundation, if they fully support me." Manpower, material resources, and all kinds of resources are mobilized for me, how can it be my turn to see this kind of propeller in others...... I can design a new concept space shuttle in one year, put it into production in three years, and send people to Mars in five years. ”

Materials, productivity everything, as long as the combination and use of it, purely in his spare time, with his own love, in ten years, he has designed a third of the spacecraft to Mars!

The more Herich thought about it, the more angry he became, he was an astronaut dynamicist! Was he brains worse than others? Give him the whole garbage project every year!

Just like that nano coagulation, no matter how good the spacesuit material, the efficiency of blocking shells is not high, but it is very good at counteracting the acceleration of the human body.

Wearing it, a person can withstand an acceleration of 60G without dying.

Herich put a lot of effort into this kind of coagulation, as well as his love for the dream of astronautics.

But in the end, he could only use it as individual armor or as an accessory in industrial production machinery.

"The Messiah also has genius scientists, a good industrial base for production, and more importantly, they have a heart to fly into space. ”

Herich's eyes flickered, he was an ideal scientist, and at this moment, he suddenly realized that even if he had everything in the Illuminati, he could not realize his dream, but he went to the Messiah, although there were many dangers, but there was a possibility to realize his dream.

Going to defect?

Herich's struggle, he stared at Adams, thinking in his heart: "This man in front of him is a Messiah." If I can escape with him, he can introduce him to me. But...... But I'm afraid I won't be able to escape far, and I'll be caught. ”

He knows very well how strong the Illuminati will be, and why should he, a scientist, defect?

"Alas...... I'm afraid it's just a dream......"

Herich decided to think about it and talk about it later.

After all, this is a major event that determines life, and if you make a choice, you have no regrets, and he is not an impulsive person.

However, just as he said, "That's all for the conversation, I'll arrange some experiments for you, and you can go and rest after the physical examination......

He didn't say it explicitly, but the subtext was: he would arrange no dangerous experiments for Adams, so that he could figure it out later and come back to Adams.

But just as he was about to leave, Adams suddenly said, "You really think that." ”

"Huh?" said Herich, puzzled.

Adams raised his head and said, "You just now, you hesitated in your heart whether to defect, right? If you want to join the Messiah, I can indeed help you introduce, I am deeply trusted by Caro, you take me away, I can vouch for you!"

"You!" Herich's surprise was that he didn't expect his thoughts to be seen.

Is his intention to defect so clearly written on his face?

Herich gritted his teeth and looked at the video recorder on the table. His conversation with Adams has been recorded.

If he destroys the conversation record now, he will definitely be interrogated in a few hours, and it will be difficult to see Adams again in the future, which is equivalent to giving up on joining the Messiah forever.

If you don't destroy it, today's dialogue will be exposed, and the Illuminati will be wary of themselves, and it will be even more impossible to defect in the future.

"Damn, do I have to make a decision soon?"

Herich gritted his teeth, sweat oozing from his forehead. If you want to defect, you have to take advantage of the now, he is alone, and he has nothing to worry about, just destroy the conversation records, fight for a few hours, and then bring some equipment, and use his authority to create some disturbances, and take the opportunity to leave the base, it is very simple.

But everything must be decided now!

His mind to think about it for a month or two before deciding was ruined by Adams's words!

"Professor Herich, are you still inside? Come out quickly, there is a rebellion in the military zone, the people of the security department have been transferred, and they are temporarily unable to protect us, so inform us to move to the accommodation area, where it is safer. Suddenly, the voice of an assistant sounded outside the door.

"Rebellion, the guards have been transferred?" said Herich.

This time, after only two seconds of hesitation, he resolutely stood up.

He turned off the recorder on his desk and deleted his today's content, even unplugging the recording card and breaking it and stuffing it into his pocket.

"Adams...... You come with me. Herich's expression was firm.

His dream is in the sea of stars, and it is better to die without regrets than to be lifeless.

......
