Chapter 519: The United States Comes
In addition, also installed a small nuclear fusion reactor with a power of 100,000 kilowatts inside the "Dream" aerospace aircraft, which is different from the steam turbine power generation that Chen Xin handed over to other countries, but directly uses the powerful plasma in the fusion reactor to output current. This kind of fusion reactor can run continuously for 30 years after being filled with fuel at one time, and the efficiency is much higher than that of a boiler.
According to the previous plan, the steel only needs to change the cargo hold of the "Dream" aerospace aircraft from the original open to closed, and the new lunar landing plan can be completed.
But today, Chen Xin came over, and the steel hammer unexpectedly gave him a surprise.
"Old Bean, come and take a look, I researched a very useful new material last night. ”
The steel hammer jumped down from the "Dream" space plane, dragged a silver-white film-like object in his hand, and jumped in front of Chen Xin.
"Hey, what is this?"
Chen Xin bent down to take the film from the steel hammer, the film is round as a whole, only the size of a handkerchief, non-silk and non-brocade, the surface is smooth like a mirror, and it is as light as nothing in his hand, and it is extremely soft.
The steel hammer flashed his electronic eyes and smiled proudly: "Old Bean, look again!"
The steel hammer snapped its fingers at the film, and the originally soft and boneless film in Chen's novice hand suddenly seemed to be magical, and suddenly stretched into a ← hard arc-shaped diaphragm.
Chen Xin was stunned to see the changes in front of him, and his head couldn't turn for a while.
"What the hell is this, and how do you do it?"
Chen Xin was shocked, although he was used to the magic of the steel hammer, Chen Xin was still shocked by this magical material.
"This is a special nanomaterial made of lithium metal, as for its specific use." Guess what, old bean!"
Chen Xin frowned, looked up and down at the nano-lithium film, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and blurted out: "Sun Sail?!"
When he talked to Gangyi about the workman-free spacecraft before, Chen Xin also discussed the idea of solar sails with him, but later considered that solar sails were also a problem. Then they turned their attention to the more achievable microwave propulsion.
Chen Xin never imagined that the steel hammer would unknowingly solve the material problem of the solar sail.
"Bingo!"
quacked and laughed: "Old Bean, how is it, it's good." The material is so tough that we can put it away when we don't use it, and if we need to, we can spread it out in an instant with just a little bit of electricity. The material is ten times lighter than water, requiring only 100 kilograms. It can be unfolded into a solar sail of about five square kilometers, providing us with similar thrust in space as a non-working engine. I plan to install it on the Dream spacecraft, and then we will go to the moon, counting acceleration and deceleration, it will take less than six hours, and if we go to Mars, it will only take a month, and if we accelerate at full speed, within two years. We can make a round trip from Pluto, which is more than enough for us in the solar system. ”
Speaking of which. Gang's tone suddenly lowered again: "It's a pity that I only have a second-level intermediate level now, and the materials on the earth have been collected by me, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to upgrade in a short period of time, otherwise directly installing an anti-gravity engine on the Dream is much more high-end than any solar sail or non-working fluid spacecraft." ”
Chen Xin could only shake his head and smile bitterly, after two years. The steel hammer has squeezed the surplus value of the earth's civilization to the ground, which is why they are trying to leave the earth.
Chen Xin thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "Gangyi, or you can just eat the Karn spaceship on the moon, so that." You should be able to level up, right?!"
Gangyi's eyes flashed wildly, and he said speechlessly: "Please, Lao Dou, that's a fifth-level civilization creation, I'm a small second-level King Kong, and if I digest the materials that can only be made by a fifth-level civilization, aren't I afraid of indigestion?" Even if we are the King Kong clan, the civilization level needs to rise step by step, and even if I find some special materials on the spaceship that can upgrade me to the third level, I can't make a faster-than-light engine." ”
Chen Xin nodded and said, "That's the same!"
After all, the steel hammer is a very special kind of storage, which can be used to digest the metal materials made by civilizations that are lower or equivalent to it, and can obtain their scientific and technological information, so as to upgrade.
But for the special materials made by civilizations higher than it, it only has the ability to imitate.
For example, it can obtain calorie metals from Captain's Peak, and then use these materials to create anthropomorphic qì humans.
But it can't parse the technology contained in the calorie metal and synthesize the calorie metal itself.
Because of this, when they first learned that there was a spaceship made by a fifth-level civilization on the moon, Chen Xin and Gangyi were not in a hurry to go up and check it.
This was useless for the steel hammer that was only a grade 1 at that time.
Next, Chen Xin discussed the technical details of the solar sail with, and the two began to bury their heads in the technical modification of the "Dream".
The cargo hold of the Dream is about 300 cubic meters, and about one-third of the space is separated by Chen Xin in it, which is used as a plant house, and various plants are planted in it that are conducive to purifying the air.
Of the remaining 200 cubic meters, there is a mechanical maintenance room, a food storage room, and a room for miniature unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, auxiliary aircraft Qì people, and two all-terrain lunar rovers.
According to the latest modification plan of Steelhammer, as long as you wait for another three days, the Dream can be fully modified.
But before that, he has to deal with the new US Secretary of Defense John Kerry, the special envoy plenipotentiary of the President of the United States.
At half past three in the afternoon, a Tu-195 passenger plane carrying Russian Defense Minister Andrei Soratzhovsky slowly landed on the runway of Mogadishu International Airport.
Half an hour later, Air China's Boeing 747 flight carrying the envoys of China and the United States also landed on time.
Chen Xin and Soratrowski have been waiting on the runway for a long time.
Although China and Russia are currently in a state of hostility with the United States, the necessary etiquette still needs to be observed when the other party's high-level leaders arrive.
The Chinese representative who accompanied Kerry to Mogadishu was an old acquaintance of Chen Xin, General Chang Siwei, chief of the General Staff.
When Kerry got off the plane, his eyes lingered thoughtfully on a row of F22 unmanned fighters parked at the far end of the runway for a moment, and then he stepped off the gangway with a smile on his face and shook hands with Chen Xin.
"Hello Mr. Chen, I have admired my name for a long time, and I am very honored to meet you this time. ”
Kerry was sincere and smiling, and if someone who didn't understand the inside story was standing next to him, I am afraid that he would never have imagined that this was a pair of mortal enemies who wanted to kill each other at all times.
"Mr. Kerry, welcome to Mogadishu!"
Chen Xin sighed at the performance quality of American politicians while shaking hands with Kerry.
The four of them exchanged a few words at the airport, and then took a special car to the seaside hotel.
After arriving at the hotel, Chen Xin arranged for the representatives of the three countries to go back to their rooms to rest after a long flight of seven or eight hours.
Kerry seemed to understand Chen Xin's thoughts, and he was not in a hurry to get to the point, so he agreed to the boat.
Chen Xin took this opportunity to meet Chang Siwei and Andre privately and asked what was going on.
Admiral Chang Siwei said with a wry smile: "Mr. Chen, don't ask me about this, I don't know, in fact, this time the Americans made a very sudden move, Kerry came to China under the pretext of visiting Tokyo, and after arriving in the capital, he made a request to us, hoping to have a secret negotiation with the war situation, and he also asked that when the United States negotiated with the war situation, the representatives of China and Russia needed to be present to witness the negotiations. ”
Chen Xin and Andrei Soratzhovsky glanced at each other, and Andrei said: "No matter what the Americans have in mind, as long as we maintain a tacit understanding between the three sides, we can be invincible." ”
Chen Xin nodded and said: "General Andre is right, General Chang, after tonight's dinner, I will arrange a four-party meeting, hoping that we can advance and retreat together at that time." ”
Chang Siwei said: "Naturally. (To be continued......)
