Australian Institute of Ion Engines.

With the strategic tilt of the Human Innovation Alliance towards the universe, the research strength and investment funds of the Ion Engine Research Institute are unprecedentedly large.

Previously, the relevant scientific researchers of the Lucia Federation and the Eastern Tang Dynasty were concentrated here, and the investment funds were as high as 300 billion Mars coins.

"Zhou Sang, the Institute of Materials has developed the beta ray separator material, and I have just sent the design of the insulating layer over." Mishima said happily.

Zhou Botong was overjoyed when he heard it: "Did they say when it will be completed?"

"The manufacturing was done by Neutron Star Materials, and they said it could be done in three days, and by the way, they would be compounding the hybrid gel coating." Mishima Ji hurriedly said.

"Great, the replication work on my side is almost complete, the main body of the photonic engine is 80% complete, and the time is just right." Zhou Botong pointed to the photonic engine prototype in the workshop and said.

This imitation photonic engine looks like a Xuanwu-level hexagonal cylinder, and it is obvious that Zhou Botong is not made according to the Anluo Xingren spherical shape.

"Zhou, the beta ray laser head imitated by the Laser Research Institute does not meet your requirements." Jin Rucai hurriedly came over with a holographic document.

Zhou Botong asked, "How much power can it reach?"

"The maximum power is about 74%, and the continuous operation power is about 52%." Jin Rucai said.

"74% maximum, 52% stable, what is the problem that causes the power of the imitation to drop?" Zhou Botong touched his chin and asked.

Jin Rucai explained: "The material problem, there is radium in the laser head material, and the number is relatively large, each laser head needs 0.042 grams of radium, our photonic engine needs 360 laser heads, and now the laser research institute is looking for alternative materials, or the materials research institute can develop a large number of artificial synthesis of radium elements, which can not be completed in the short term." ”

"That's just the way to go, by adding some laser heads, the total power will be piled up." Zhou Botong also knows that the situation is urgent now, and can only temporarily use this compromise to solve it.

"If we do this, our energy consumption may be nearly 30~40% larger than that of the photonic engine of the Anluo Xingren, and the power supply pressure for the nuclear fusion reactor is very large." Anatoly?? Ilkin reminded.

"Ilkin, now it's not a matter of excessive energy consumption, but a question of the safety of human civilization, this is a temporary solution, if the laser head material makes a breakthrough, we can replace it immediately." Zhou Botong said.

"Alright! This can only be done for the time being. "Anatoly?? Ilkin was also quite helpless.

The staff wearing protective suits quickly assembled the parts of the photonic engine one by one.

Zhou Botong checked from time to time, or instructed other researchers, or discussed and negotiated with the Institute of Materials and other institutions, so busy that his hairline receded.

October 27th.

After installing the composite insulation layer manufactured by Neutron Star Materials, this photonic engine that imitates the Anluo people has finally been preliminarily completed.

"Mishima, is the test site ready?" Zhou Botong turned his head and asked.

"Test Site 5 in the Victorian Desert is ready for our testing." Mishima replied immediately.

"Good! Immediately pull the prototype to test site No. 5, hoping that everything will go well. Zhou Botong said tiredly.

Everyone was in a state of trepidation, and after loading the prototype of the photon engine, the Djinn transporter headed for the heart of the Victorian Desert, where there was a large testing ground.

Zhou Botong and Anatoly?? Ilkin took the airship to the test site, and the two took the opportunity to take a bath and rest on the airship for a while.

As for Mishima Ji and Kim Rucai, they will continue to stay in the institute, and they need to improve the prototype and dispatch all aspects.

In Australia, October is the season of spring flowers.

Zhou Botong, who had stolen half a day's leisure, was lying on the sofa in the cabin of the airship, and he was watching a holographic movie of a funny type with his brain.

Suddenly, a glass of juice was placed on his table.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome." Anatoly?? Ilkin said as he took a glass of rum and drank it.

Zhou Botong took a sip of juice: "Ilkin, drink less, there will be test business tomorrow." ”

"Haha, Zhou, you underestimate me too much, rum is juice in Lucia, and I'm really not used to vodka without my hometown." Anatoly?? Ilkin said with a raised eyebrow.

"Hehe......" Zhou Botong was speechless.

"In the words of you Tang people, life must be happy, and maybe there will be no rum and vodka by then." Talking about Anatoly?? Ilkin became a little sad.

"We haven't fought, it's still unknown who will die, we can do it on the 38th parallel, and we can do the same today." Zhou Botong said with high morale.

"Zhou, maybe it's a tougher war." Anatoly?? Ilgin took a sip of wine and continued, "Let's fight like a warrior!" Fight for human civilization! ”

"Haha, this is the Maozi I know, do it." Zhou Botong picked up the juice and anatoly?? Ilgin clinking glasses.

Anatoly?? Ilgin smiled and shook his head, obviously with the help of the star translator, he understood what Mao Zi meant, but he didn't feel annoyed and angry, but felt more kind.

Among human beings, the Tang people can be said to be the most tenacious and unyielding people, and the Russians will not easily admit defeat.

The threat of alien civilizations has stimulated the unprecedented unity and development potential of the Human Innovation Alliance, which is spurred by all the development plans of the alien as an imaginary enemy, coupled with the reverse engineering of the Anluo Star spacecraft, the Human Innovation Alliance is soaring.

After the two came to the No. 5 test site, they rested in the test site base for the night to recharge for tomorrow's test work.

October 28th.

Early in the morning, this oasis base in the middle of the desert, Zhou Botong and Anatoly ?? After eating breakfast, Ilkin hurried to the test site.

This is a semi-underground fully sealed test site, with an area of about 150,000 square meters, which was specially built to test large rocket engines.

"Zhou, your photonic engine has been installed on the test platform and is ready for testing." Sun Liancheng, the person in charge of the base, handed a holographic document to Zhou Botong.

Zhou Botong took it and flipped through it, then nodded: "We'll test it right away." ”

"Please follow me."

Sun Liancheng is leading the way in an all-round way, and he takes Zhou Botong and Anatoly with him?? Ilkin and the others came to the control room.

Through the holographic monitoring system in the control room, Zhou Botong saw their painstaking work, and now is the time to test the results of their labor.

"Let's start testing!" Zhou Botong commanded.

Sun Liancheng nodded and instructed the test platform controllers, "The test begins." ”

The staff methodically turned on the switches one by one to adjust the parameters of the test platform.

"The power is on, and the power supply system is working properly."

"The inspection systems are working properly."

"A photonic engine starts at one thousandth of its power."
