Chapter 730: The scale of the construction of the ion engine! Seek perfection!

The major officials quietly launched the meeting.

And what about Ye Fan's side?

Work on the first plan has already begun.

Artificial spaceship.

The spacecraft was named Sentinel.

The spacecraft is being built and produced in the second park.

The second park is an incomparably huge factory built by Qinjiang by acquiring the land next to the first park.

inside this factory.

It's been idle all along, and it was originally intended to produce hovering sports cars, big white robots, and quantum computers.

After discovering that the sun had an accident, Ye Fan stopped this work.

The factory was directly emptied.

Can a spaceship fit in a factory?

Of course, it can't fit.

Ye Fan plans to assemble production.

All the parts and other accessories are produced and then assembled into a spaceship.

Ye Fan has already come to the second park.

In the factory built in a huge simple house, countless industrial robots are busy.

Ye Fan has now produced tens of thousands of industrial robots, some of which are in it, and the other part is in the underground research room of the first park.

The first park is constantly expanding.

Expansion is all the work of the Terminator.

By enlarging the space of the underground laboratory, more good things can be built without attracting attention.

Entering the second industrial zone of the park, a heat wave rushed directly.

The temperature inside has reached nearly forty degrees, so you can imagine how hot it is.

The main thing is that all the industrial equipment inside is running and it must be getting hot.

And add to that the recent rising temperatures.

The cause of the rapid aging of the sun.

Most of them are caused by flares.

The main material of the Sentinel is made of graphene, which is also a substance that can replace metal, and its hardness is not worse than that of aviation materials, or even dozens of times that of aviation materials.

The use with the spaceship is simply more than enough.

Both the exterior of the spaceship and the skeleton of the spacecraft are made of graphene.

The skeleton must be strong.

Otherwise, it's easy to get into trouble.

The spacecraft is estimated to be about 1,000 square meters in size.

In the larger ones.

The mass of the spacecraft changes, and the larger the object, the more likely it is to tear at the speed of light.

So, the smaller, the better.

If you don't plan to leave the solar system at the speed of light, it doesn't matter how big you build, and without the speed of light, wanting to leave the solar system is simply wishful thinking.

It will take at least twenty or thirty years to leave.

While the industrial robot was producing all the frames of the spaceship, Ye Fan also began to work on the ion engine.

A smaller version of the ion engine, but no less efficient than a large ion engine.

The thrust emitted by each ion engine is only one-third of the speed of light, and this spacecraft is going to install five ion engines.

It's all small.

The volume of five ion engines is not very large, only fifty square meters in size.

It's already more than enough.

Palladium Element Spraying Machine..

Ye Fan looked at the silver thing in his hand.

Constant micro-control operation.

Ion engines mainly consist of several steps.

Part of this is to build a device similar to Muhai fusion, and H fusion is not the first choice in technology, but refusion is the first choice.

Most elements can be fused, but fusion efficiency is not as high as nuclear fusion. In this case, nuclear fusion is a very good option, but planetary engines do not use nuclear fusion. Because the cost of nuclear fusion is relatively high, although it is not particularly high from the current point of view, if you want to push the earth away, general nuclear fusion may not work. Moreover, from the point of view of fuel, Ye Fan has ten large warehouses of white crystal, which is inexhaustible in the true sense. However, this involves a very serious question, which is what to use to start the fusion reaction of a planetary engine.

That's the need for flint.

The reason why we say this is that we have to ask a key question, and this key question is that the critical values of fusion reactions are different, and the conditions for producing fusion are also different. Speaking of which, we have to mention the principle of the atomic bomb that was very popular before, that is, the gun original Z bomb. The so-called gun-type original Z bomb uses high-energy explosives to push the nuclear charge that is about to reach a critical value, so that it will collide and fission. In other words, the conventional explosives in the atomic bomb are equivalent to flint. By analogy, the structure of an ion engine is actually very simple, the structure of a super-large gun-type atomic bomb.

Under the nozzle of the ion launch there is a device, which is connected to the engine. And this device is used to fill the flint, that device is like a huge firing pin, is it a device that shoots the flint, after the flint is ignited, it will drive the engine fuel to carry out a fusion reaction, and then the flint will be consumed, and the planetary engine will continue to operate. In order to cause fusion at a lower atomic level, the atomic number of the ignition device must be large.

And what about flint?

The flint stone is the palladium element key that Ye Fan is holding in his hand.

This one is not enough to be called a flint, this is only a small part, and when the whole is built, it will be the real flint.

Once the ion engine is started, it emits a pillar of blue light that illuminates the entire sky like an artificial sun.

So.

There is no night at all.

Only during the day.

There is a lot of heat in the energy column, which can alleviate the damage caused by the ice age.

Able to allow humans to survive on the surface.

This is also a very important point.

When his thoughts returned, Ye Fan continued to tinker with the work at hand.

The production of palladium must be more.

At least enough to support them for a hundred years.

Only with so many resources can we ensure that there will be no problems.

Also, during this time, Qinjiang is also vigorously promoting haze absorbers.

Now there are haze absorbers in the sky above every city in the world, constantly absorbing toxic substances, absorbing and decompressing them into white crystal.

One more point.

Many electric fields are surrounded by smog absorbers.

The main function is to absorb energy, decompress into white crystal, and provide ion engines.

Although there are now ten warehouses.

Each ion engine consumes 100 white crystals per day.

And each warehouse has at least dozens of tons of white crystal, and the number is even more innumerable.

But once the tens of thousands of ion engines are started, the consumption of white crystal will definitely not be able to keep up.

So there is no harm in preparing in advance, only benefits.

After all the ion engines are started, the energy column ejected has radiant properties, and the haze absorber absorbs and continuously provides white crystals.

Reusability.

That's advanced technology!
