The Mi Li family is gritting their teeth to support scientific research, and secretly carrying out the cherubim project.

On the other side, the Xizhou Alliance was not idle, after all, the Lucia Federation joined the People's Revolution Reform Alliance, which meant that the alliance's power had spread to the hinterland of the Xizhou.

……

"Mr. President, it's a great honor to meet you." The foreign minister of the Western Continent Alliance, Anderi?? Distefield shook hands with Fang Dongliang and said.

"Mr. Distefee, please be seated." Fang Dongliang said with a smile.

Andri?? Distefer sat down on the sofa and asked tentatively, "Mr. President, I wonder if the alliance policy is consistent with Lucia?"

"We are a united union, the council of the alliance is higher than the member countries, and the member countries cannot violate the charter of the alliance." The attitude of Fang Dongliang is resolute in this kind of problem.

"We hope to coexist peacefully with the alliance, after all, confrontation is not good for both sides, isn't it?" Andri?? Disste Fei glanced at Fang Dongliang after speaking.

"Peace is the purpose of our alliance, and we do not want the Blue Star to be destroyed by war." Fang Dongliang knew that now was not the time for the Blue Star Battle.

Hearing this, Andri?? Dist suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, the Xizhou Alliance is now powerless to confront the alliance at all, whether it is the economy, or the quality projector, or energy, the Xizhou Alliance relies on the alliance.

The Xizhou Alliance is already difficult, and once there is a full-scale confrontation, it will inevitably make the Xizhou Alliance even worse, they are no longer the developed countries that can spend extravagantly in the AD era, but an unsustainable intra-star country.

Soon after, the two sides held comprehensive consultations on border defense, natural gas transmission, and the entry and exit of port and railway transportation.

Negotiations lasted for a week, and the Western Union and the Human Innovation Alliance reached an agreement. Disfeld and Fang Dongliang signed the "Shanghai Friendship Agreement" on behalf of both sides.

With the agreement between the Western Continent Alliance and the Human Innovation Alliance, the strategy of the Mi Li family contracted, and for a while, the blue star was calm, of course, there was no shortage of confrontations in the secret.

……

Western Australia.

Galaxy Spaceship Group - Xuanwu-class spacecraft manufacturing plant. Wang Tu and a group of people were visiting the construction of the Xuanwu-class Type 2 spacecraft.

The specifications of the Xuanwu-class 2 spacecraft are 6 meters long on the side, 18 meters high on the hexagonal cylinder, with a total volume of 1683.5 cubic meters, a dry weight of 124 tons, and a payload of about 420 tons.

It adopts a new generation of Jinwu nuclear fusion battery and ion engine, and although the thrust of the new generation of ion engine is about 30% smaller than that of hydrogen and oxygen engines, it has a very good feature, that is, propellant diversification.

"Wangbe, this ion engine is the latest product of the Ion Engine Research Institute, and under the surging power of the nuclear fusion battery, it can provide 750 tons of thrust at full power." Hu Tingyu, chief engineer of the Xuanwu-class spacecraft, introduced.

"Isn't that weaker than the latest stage of hydrogen-oxygen engine, I heard that the latest stage of hydrogen-oxygen engine can reach 1,200 tons of thrust." Lin Zhengfeng, director of the Logistics Department of the Ministry of Astronautics, asked in surprise.

Hu Tingyu nodded and replied: "Yes, it is indeed difficult for the ion engine to compete with the hydrogen and oxygen engine in terms of thrust, but in terms of specific impulse, the ion engine can continue to run as long as there is a working fluid, and the latest level of the ion engine can use hydrogen, helium, oxygen, nitrogen, silicon, carbon, sulfur, sodium, calcium and other more than a dozen elements as the working medium, if the situation is urgent, you can even directly use unfinished space rock, soil, and gas as the working medium." ”

"And how are you going to solve the problem of supply of working fluids in deep space?" Wang Tu asked.

"Wangbe, we fly between planets, we don't plan to use ion engines, the ion engine research institute is recently developing photonic engines, directly using photonic engines as the power between planets, ion engines are more suitable for application in the material-rich planetary circles." Hu Tingyu explained.

"Photon engine?" Wang Tu obviously knew about the photon engine, so he nodded.

Ion engines that can use a variety of working fluids are indeed more suitable for use in the planetary sphere, and many substances in the planetary sphere are used directly as working fluids, such as water, calcium carbonate, silica and other rich compounds.

"When will the ship be operational?" Wang Tu asked.

"We are conducting the last test, which is expected to be operational on September 24, with a total of five Xuanwu-class Type 2 spacecraft in the first batch." Hu Tingyu looked at his watch and replied.

"Very good." Wang Tu nodded with satisfaction.

Suddenly, Wang Tu's assistant approached him and whispered a few words in Wang Tu's ear, and Wang Tu sneered after listening to it.

"Wangbu! What's wrong?" Lin Zhengfeng asked.

"Nothing, just a bunch of clowns jumping off the beam, and the representative of Tushiqi made a lot of nonsense at the United Nations, saying that he wanted us to open up the space field and ask for the sharing of the resources of the moon." Wang Tu sneered.

Hu Tingyu laughed: "Haha, who do not measure themselves, who do they think they are?" Sharing the Moon?"

"I'm afraid that there are people behind the earth dogs who are fueling the trouble, otherwise they don't have the guts." Lin Zhengfeng touched his chin and said.

"Okay, someone will take care of the matter of the earth dog, Tingyu, you strive to make persistent efforts, I'll go to the Ion Engine Research Institute to take a look."

"Then I won't send it."

Wang Tu led the people to the ion engine research institute 134 kilometers away.

The Ion Engine Research Institute has already figured out the photonic engine of the Anluo Xingren at this time, but if it is clear, it does not mean that it can be imitated.

The radiation problem of beta rays alone is a big trouble, and the protective layer of the spaceship of the An'an Luo Star can filter about 60% of the beta radiation at most, and the remaining 40% of the beta radiation depends on the body's hard resistance.

However, the human body is not as good as the Anluo Star people, and the astronauts can only die if they resist directly. When people are dead, what's the use of flying at the speed of light? Could it be to transport a corpse to the cosmodrome?

In the research institute, all the researchers are at a loss, the beta ray laser must be focused on the light mirror on the inside of the engine, and through a focus, the beta ray light pressure will be applied to the mirror, and in this process, a part of the beta ray radiation will penetrate into the spacecraft.

They had to find a way to isolate these deadly beta rays, otherwise it would be a deadly threat not only to the astronauts on board, but also to the instruments on board.

"By the way, we can use magnetic field deflection technology." Li Qijun suddenly reacted.

Mishima Ji's eyes suddenly lit up: "Magnetic field deflection? Magnetic field deflection! Yes, magnetic field deflection may be able to isolate beta rays. ”

"Beta rays are streams of charged particles, which can be deflected using magnetic fields, so let's model and design them right away and simulate them on a supercomputer." Zhou Botong was also happy.

Soon they added a magnetic field generator to the photonic engine that they had modeled, and in the supercomputer simulation, they found that they could indeed effectively block out some of the beta rays.

Zhou Botong was excited about the results of the supercomputing simulation: "With the isolation layer material of the Anluo Xingren, coupled with our unique hybrid gel coating, and magnetic field deflection technology, we can block 100% of beta rays. ”

"Zhou Sang, let's not be too happy, the isolation layer material of the Anluo Star people, it seems that the Materials Research Institute has not copied it yet." Mishima reminded him.

"Haha, step by step, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." Zhou Botong said optimistically.
