Therefore, in the past 100 years, fusion energy has gradually withdrawn from the field of small power, and is specially used as a power source for space stations, star gates, planetary bases, and large warships. Ships below the battleship level were largely removed from use and replaced with safer and more stable graviton reactors and antimatter generators.

These two core technologies were not invented by the New Edenians, they came from the reverse research and development of ancient ruins, and the specific process and details are not clear.

Anyway, the Federation ships he has come into contact with are all powered by graviton reactors, and as a clone pilot, even if he goes through the back door and meets a master like Claire, it is impossible to understand it.

It is precisely because of this understanding that Hong Tao feels that this graviton reactor is a bit unbelievably large. Future's size isn't small, and the reactors at the graviton energy core it uses are less than a meter in diameter. Not to mention that it was the technology of 50 years ago, there has been little progress in the construction scale of graviton reactors in the past 50 years.

If a larger diameter reactor can be built to replace the fusion generator as a power source for space stations and very large spacecraft, not only can it save expensive isotope fuel, but it can also shrink the cooling system of the fusion energy core, which is very wasteful of electricity and takes up a lot of space.

The main thing is that it is particularly vulnerable, and almost all space stations and large ships have to wrap the fusion generator and cooling system layer by layer with thick superalloy armor, which is another additional expense, and it also adds a lot of mass and continues to consume energy.

Why can't you make a graviton reactor bigger? Hong Tao didn't quite understand the specific principle, and he still didn't even understand what the graviton was. But rote memorization will still work, and there is only one reason, the material!

Because the graviton is so penetrating, most materials can't contain it at all, and only a material called a supernova crystal can be used to make the reactor wall. This crystal seems to have been produced in a supernova explosion, and the production is very small, not to mention that it is very small, and so far it has not been found to be more than one meter in diameter.

Splicing? Don't think about it, this material was made out by high temperature and high pressure when the supernova exploded, the melting point is super high, and it can't be welded regularly with the current technology.

"Be careful...... You must be careful, this is a big baby, Lao Tzu is rich! "How this graviton reactor was made Hong Tao couldn't understand it, and he didn't dare to take it apart, but it didn't mean that he didn't dare to steal it.

The six reactors are arranged in a star pattern, and if nothing else, each reactor is independent. According to the habits of the new Eden people, it is usually three working three backups, any one has a problem, just one more from the top of the backup, and the failure can be removed and replaced at any time.

Generally speaking, Hong Tao's vision is still relatively high, and ordinary wealth cannot tempt him, especially when life and death are at stake. But there is a limit to everything, and the things that can change the world are clearly placed in front of them, and no one has seen it and no one has grabbed it, so it is not reasonable to suppress the desire at this time.

Hong Tao's choice is very simple, use the manipulator to unload the two reactors and move them back to the barge first, no matter what he will find next, it will be in vain. The ancients did not pass by the clouds, and the thieves did not go empty!

"Second master, can you modify these two reactors to our spaceship?" Naturally, you have to slip away with stolen goods, and whether it can become your own wealth depends on the ability of the second uncle.

"The hardware can be replaced, but it can't be started without specific parameters...... "The second uncle quickly checked the reactor through the data interface, and then gave a not very satisfactory answer.

"Where can I get the exact parameters?" Dissatisfied? Wrong, Hong Tao was about to laugh when he heard the second uncle's answer. The results were even better than he expected, and the reactor actually passed the main brain's detection program.

What does it mean? It shows that it is compatible with the technology of the New Eden, but the main brain is not intelligent enough to create a new set of specifications on its own, and human intervention is required. The imperfect software interface is much stronger than the hardware incompatibility, the former only needs to be supplemented and adjusted, and the latter simply cannot be used.

"There should be a corresponding coprocessor in the energy core, and I need to read the information before I can give the final answer...... According to Article 31 of the Space Trade Law - Core Power Equipment promulgated by CAD, CAD certification should be obtained before it can be activated, otherwise it will be regarded as serious tax evasion! ”

The second uncle immediately gave the source, and then began to carry out legal education, and the meaning of the words was very clear: he is a good master who abides by the law, and resolutely does not do anything that violates the law and discipline.

“…… That's of course, but you've been stuck here for more than fifty years, and you certainly haven't received the new regulations issued by the Ministry of Integration. Why don't you let your uncle send you a copy? ”

Hearing the second uncle's chattering nonsense, Hong Tao slapped his head with his hand. As a clone pilot, I actually let the master brain educate, it's too much of a failure! At the beginning, I was just thinking about how to gain control of it, but I forgot the most important thing, brainwashing the mastermind!

The term is a metaphor for many clone pilots communicating privately, presumably meaning a self-regulatory program that overrides the ship's mastermind with an illegal applet. Each ship's master brain needs to be certified by the Integration Department when it is put into use, and then it will have an ID card. This ID card is just as important as the pilot's ID card, and without one, you will not be able to pass through the stargate controlled by the Integration Department.

But this ID card is hated by the pilots, because with it, the ship's master must abide by the law and have the highest priority. Originally, this was a management method developed by the Integration Department to restrain everyone from acting recklessly, but in practical application, it is a bit of a hindrance.

To take the simplest example, exploration ships and long-distance cargo ships have to wander around low-ampere galaxies or even unknown galaxies all year round, and sometimes they will be targeted by pirates when they are not in order, or encounter unexpected situations in nature, sometimes the design parameters of the spacecraft alone can only be limited, and some aspects of the spaceship's performance must be enhanced through modifications.

If according to the self-discipline procedures of the Integration Department, the master of the spaceship does not accept illegal equipment, but the performance of civilian equipment sold on the market cannot be compared with the modified equipment of pirates, and it is inevitable that it will suffer.

If you want to spend money on a modified device with higher performance, this kind of equipment is not certified by the commercial trade department of the Ministry of Integration, that is, the CAD, because the performance of these equipment is very close to that of the military, and even some of them are exceeded.

If this kind of equipment is allowed to be legally marketed, then it will be more difficult for the navies of various countries, including the navies of the Ministry of Integration, and there will be a 100 percent situation in which the naval warships will not be able to catch up, move, or catch the illegal spacecraft.

It is unrealistic to expect the Ministry of Integration to change the standard immediately, and this standard is not formulated by the Ministry of Integration alone, but needs to be coordinated with governments and relevant manufacturing companies, and even if the consultation process is initiated immediately, it cannot be changed in a short time.

So what to do? Could it be that pilots just watched their ships being bullied by pirates? That is impossible, and it is true that in any era, there is a policy and a countermeasure.

Since the device is designed by people, including the main brain, there must be a way to change it. Soon, someone who came up with a small program that could block the autonomic program of the ship's mastermind without being detected by the mastermind's defense system.

In this way, the pilots can change the modification equipment on the spacecraft in a grand manner, regardless of whether it is legal or not, as long as it is not used in front of the warships of the Integration Department, no one cares. After all, everyone is a pilot, who doesn't know who.

It doesn't matter if it's time to check, just erase this procedure, and the self-discipline mechanism of the ship's master brain will take effect again. But before that, don't forget to disconnect those illegally modified devices, or the mastermind will have to strike immediately.
