Chapter 339: Designing a Spaceship
Unconsciously, another half a month passed, and after a month of hard work, Aihua Company used thousands of intelligent robots to produce 24 hours a day, and a large atomic furnace was successfully developed.
This atomic furnace is about ten meters high and five meters in diameter, and there is a small nuclear fusion unit inside, which is capable of producing tens of thousands of degrees of high temperature, and the shell of the atomic furnace is protected by an absolute zero degree protection device to form a vacuum protective layer to prevent the high temperature from harming the furnace body.
Gao Yang asked Yan Huang to test the efficacy of the atomic furnace.
Yan Huang started the atomic furnace, under the powerful scanning system, everything in the atomic furnace was clearly seen by Yan Huang, the temperature displayed by the computer kept increasing, the nuclear fusion in the atomic furnace was constantly happening, the atoms were constantly fission fusion, the fusion process exploded strongly, protected by the absolute zero device, and the atomic furnace was very safe.
One kilogram of seawater produces energy, and after nuclear fusion, the temperature in the atomic furnace reaches 10,000 degrees.
Yan Huang used three kilograms of seawater, and under nuclear fusion, a red pillar of light with a temperature of three meters appeared in the center of the atomic furnace, and the center of the pillar of light was the atom that kept exploding.
Yan Huang reported the situation of the atomic furnace to Gao Yang: "Master, everything is fine, you can start refining X16 metal." ”
Gao Yang was very cautious: "Yan Huang, are you sure that the atomic furnace is 100% effective?" ”
"Master, you can rest assured that the functions of the atomic furnace have reached a very perfect state, and the robots that make the atomic furnace are all done according to the standard, and they are many times more accurate than humans."
Gao Yang nodded with satisfaction: "Okay then, start the work of refining X16 metal." ”
"Yes, master."
Yan Huang suspended the various functions of the Atomic Furnace, and under Yan Huang's orders, a group of robots moved piles of X16 metal ore into the Atomic Furnace.
Ten tons of x16 metal ore were stacked high, and the center of the atomic furnace with a height of ten meters and a diameter of five meters was piled up, and after the robot exited, Gao Yang started the atomic furnace, and after setting the furnace temperature to 30,000 degrees, Gao Yang added seawater as fuel, and after starting the nuclear fusion unit, nuclear fusion occurred, and the temperature soared wildly.
The high temperature in the atomic furnace reached 30,000 degrees in about ten minutes, and many stones were directly turned into powder under the high temperature incineration, and only some scarce metal liquid flowed out from tens of thousands of holes smaller than pinholes, and entered the pool, where they were quenched by the water, and a stream of white gas came out, solidified into a grain of golden sand, and fell at the bottom of the pool.
The atomic furnace maintained a high temperature of 30,000 degrees, the miscellaneous processing in the ore turned into black smoke floating out of the chimney, and the golden liquid kept flowing out, and after two hours, there was no more metal liquid flowing out of the furnace, only some stone powder remained in the furnace, and Gao Yang stopped the atomic furnace.
Ten tons of x16 metal ore were extracted from 60 kilograms of x16 gold sand, and the purity of the refining was 150:1, which was much lower than the 100:1 purity originally planned by Gao Yang.
These x16 gold sands are ground into powder by a special machine and mixed with other materials to make a high-temperature paint, which can protect the spacecraft from flying at high speed, and the high temperature generated by friction with the air does not harm the spacecraft itself.
Gao Yang reached out and took out a handful of gold sand from the pool, held it in the palm of his hand and played with it, a unique texture of metal, which made Gao Yang feel very comfortable in the palm of his hand.
Through the instrument inspection, Gao Yang is very satisfied with the characteristics of the X16 metal, and it is definitely not a problem for these super metals to be made into the protective paint of the spacecraft.
The basic conditions for building a spaceship have been met, and Gao Yang can't bear it anymore and is ambitiously preparing to build a spaceship.
"Yan Huang, show me your spaceship blueprint."
"Yes, master."
A drawing that took three days to design was transferred to Gao Yang's computer.
Gao Yang took a closer look, this spacecraft is 3,000 meters long, about a kilometer in diameter, and the weight of the bare hull has reached about 1 million tons. If you look at the size of the spaceship alone, it is 10 times the size of the largest aircraft carrier on Earth.
The spacecraft is too big, the material requirements are very high, if the general steel is used, the weight of the spacecraft will reach more than 500 tons, not only can not take off, even if it can take off, due to the limitation of steel, the hull may be broken when it flies halfway, and the skeleton made of steel can not bear the weight of 5 million tons.
Fortunately, this spacecraft is made of super plastics, nanomaterials, super steel, and super ceramics, and weighs only 100 tons, plus the surname of super materials can be 100 times that of ordinary steel, so it can fully withstand this weight.
The spaceship is shaped like a large ship with a sealed surname.
The hull of the ship has three layers of protection, the outermost layer is made of super ceramics, with a thickness of 40 centimeters, equivalent to a 12-meter-thick steel plate, these super ceramics can prevent corrosion and rust, which can ensure that the spacecraft will not be corroded by any alien material and protect the hull from rust. If the X16 metal is repainted, the ship can also be protected from high temperatures.
The second layer is the super steel made by atomic carbonization technology, the hardness of these super steels is 100 times that of ordinary steel, and the hardness of diamond is about the same, the thickness reaches 30 centimeters, which is equivalent to a 30-meter-thick steel plate, super steel and diamond hardness are the same, but they are different in nature, diamond is afraid of pressure, super steel's ability to withstand pressure, and the ability to bear weight is also 100 times that of steel.
The third layer, made of super plastic, is 2 meters thick, which is equivalent to 200 meters of ordinary steel.
If the ship were made of ordinary steel, it would be 242 meters thick, and its weight would be so terrible that it would not have been possible to take off.
The hull thickness of the spaceship made of super materials is only 3 meters, but the super ceramic is only one-third of the weight of steel, and the weight of super plastic is only one-tenth of that of the spaceship, and the weight of the entire spacecraft is only equivalent to that of a spaceship made of pure steel with a thickness of 1 meter.
The hard shell of the spacecraft is enough for them to bear tens of millions of tons, or even hundreds of millions of tons. In the hull, there are 1,500 skeleton girders that are square and up to two meters thick, and are made of super steel. to ensure the bearing capacity of the hull.
The shell and skeleton of the spacecraft, the ability to withstand pressure, and the ability to withstand wear and tear are completely beyond the standard after being calculated by the computer. Gao Yang is satisfied with the design.
The spacecraft is about twenty-five meters tall and is divided into five levels.
Each floor covers an area of about three square kilometers, or 3 million square meters, and the size of the five floors is about 15 million square meters.
The five floors of the spacecraft have different functions, and the lowest and lower floors are the antimatter room, the nuclear fusion room, the food storage room, the freshwater storage room, the seed storage room, the power system, the weapons storage room, the mechanical storage room, .......
On the first floor of the spacecraft, there are four nuclear fusion engine units, each nuclear fusion unit can provide 2.5 million horsepower power, generally two units are started, two power units are standby, and the size of each nuclear fusion machine room is about 30 square meters, accounting for about 150 square meters, plus the spare parts of the crew occupy 50 square meters, a total of about 200 square meters.
The antimatter engine block covers an area of 20 square meters, and if antimatter is used as fuel, it can provide tens of millions of tons of power.
Antimatter engines are generally not used, only when the spacecraft is in danger and needs to increase the power, with the antimatter engine, the spacecraft can reach 94% of the speed of light. That's the equivalent of 280,000 kilometers per second, which is a terrifying speed. Once used, the time can not exceed three seconds, a use, will make the rapid twenty centimeters thick protective paint burn clean, a few more seconds, will be destroyed and killed.
In the first layer, the fresh water storage room occupies the largest place, it is ten meters high, occupies 2 million square meters of space, the fresh water inside, the weight reaches 1 million tons, according to a person with two tons of water per month, if the spacecraft carries 500,000 people, enough for a month, in addition to drinking water, the rest of the water can be recycled.
On the first floor, there is also a seed storage room, which stores the seeds of more than 1,000 plants, weighing up to 1,000 tons, and can be sown and grown.
The power system of the spacecraft is composed of 100,000 nanogenerators, which are connected to the nuclear fusion unit, and the high temperature generated by the nuclear fusion can not only provide huge power for the spacecraft, but also provide a huge amount of electricity for the spacecraft, which is converted into power and stored in the ship under the action of the nanogenerators.
In the weapons storage room of the spaceship, there are 1,000 large liquid intelligent robots, equipped with nanoweapons, electromagnetic weapons, laser weapons, and 500,000 micro robotic insects, which can reconnoiter and drill into the cracks of the formation.
In the mechanical room of the spaceship, there are more than 1,000 parts of large machinery, as long as Gao Yang gives an order, the liquid intelligent robot can successfully assemble these machines, large forklifts, bulldozers, drilling machines, excavators, mixers...... will take shape.
The second to fourth floors are the living rooms, each floor has 100,000 rooms, each room is about 30 square meters, and can accommodate 300,000 to 500,000 people.
The fifth layer is a public entertainment place and food production area, the entire fifth layer, with 400,000 tons of soil, spread on the ground of 2 million square meters, can sow a variety of grains, the top of the ship transparent super plastic manufacturing, light can directly penetrate into the ship, provide light for plants, the use of laser growth instrument, can improve the photosynthesis of plants, this grain sowing area, also has people to make light source equipment, to provide enough light for plants. This area allows plants to produce 400 tons of food per day, feeding 400,000 people.
The hull of the spacecraft to the ship itself weighed 1 million tons, which is equivalent to the weight of 10 aircraft carriers, plus the various materials carried on it reached 2 million tons, and the weight of the hull alone reached 3 million tons. The equivalent load capacity is only 2 million tons.
According to the per capita weight of 100 kilograms, 100,000 people is 10,000 tons, and 400,000 people are equivalent to 400,000 tons. The take-off weight of the spacecraft reaches 3.5 million tons, which is a large loading space based on the take-off weight of 5 million tons designed for the spacecraft. If you want to carry more people, you can squeeze the room, which can accommodate 800,000 people, of course, the consumption of food and water is very large, only enough for half a month.
Gao Yang carefully calculated that the take-off weight of the spacecraft reached 3.5 million tons, and the two nuclear fusion engines could provide powerful power.
If the spacecraft uses an antimatter engine, the speed will be even more terrifying, it will be able to reach 94% of the speed of light, 280,000 kilometers per second, and it will only take less than two seconds from the earth to the moon, but this technology, people in the future will not have mastered it, because the speed of light is moving at the speed of light, and the hull rubs against the air for a long time, resulting in high temperatures, which is very terrifying, and the x16 metal cannot withstand more than 5 seconds. And flying at such a terrifying speed, like hitting space junk halfway, will have terrible consequences.
