Chapter 125: Lost Contact
With the extension of time, the speed of the acceleration system is gradually displayed, the speed of ten percent of the speed of light is quickly reached, and even if it is overloaded, it can reach 12 percent of the speed of light, of course, this is only a temporary speed, if you run at this speed for a long time, if nothing else, the acceleration system itself is unbearable.
The energy supply is still okay, the nuclear fuel brought by the rocket itself is still enough, and it is more than enough to reach the next test site, and the next test is the energy conversion system, the test site of this system is set in the asteroid belt, and there is still a little time from the test site.
The acceleration system began to gradually shut down, this function has been tested, now there is no need to open it for a long time, after all, the acceleration system is a little energy-consuming, if the energy conversion system is also successfully tested, there is no need to pursue this consumption of a trace of energy.
"Now that a function has been tested, the function is still very good, but for us, the final energy conversion system is the most critical, and the speed only determines the time we want to hibernate." Liu Xuan left his position and said to the three friends beside him. A function has already functioned normally, and for him, the so-called "chief designer", he is still very satisfied. Of course, he also knows that this is "the predecessors planted the trees, and the later generations enjoy the shade", and most of the techniques he used were left by Professor Ma back then.
Qin Ming and the three of them are also quite happy, as long as the final energy conversion system experiment is successful, they already have the basic ability to sail, and the rest is Qin Ming's antimatter energy coverage and Xuanmu's "deep sea" system and "hibernation" system combined technology, when these two technologies are overcome, they can be ready to set sail against the wormhole at any time.
"Xuan Lao, the current rocket is already close to the asteroid belt, and after a while, it will be able to test the energy conversion system." Seeing that Liu Xuan was not in his position, a researcher in charge of fine-tuning also said to Liu Xuan.
Hearing this familiar name, Liu Xuan's three friends also laughed in unison, Liu Xuan was also very helpless, turned around and waved his hand, and then returned to his position under the smiling faces of the three people.
"All the personnel are ready, and after three minutes, the rocket will go into the interior of the asteroid belt and start preparing to capture the smaller asteroid, send it into the reactor, and start testing the energy conversion system." Liu Xuan returned to his position, glanced at the data on the operating table in front of him, and said to many researchers. For them, this is the most critical moment, and it is also the most critical feature of this test.
The acceleration system itself is an extension of the energy conversion system, if the energy conversion system cannot be used, the acceleration system is just a chicken rib, too energy-consuming, just driven by the energy of the rocket, it is not enough to accelerate the consumption of the system, which shows the importance of the energy conversion system.
In three minutes, after a while, the rocket body has already reached the interior of the asteroid belt, and it is ready to capture the asteroid and put it into the reactor to test the energy conversion system at any time.
"Observer, look for the right size asteroid marker!" At this time, Liu Xuan's face was solemn and he looked very nervous, but all kinds of instructions were also issued in an orderly manner.
The observer didn't speak, but quickly manipulated the computer in front of him, with the help of the sensors on the rocket, and began to look for suitable asteroids to mark.
A few minutes later, three asteroids marked by observers had already appeared on the command platform in front of Liu Xuan, both in terms of their volume and mass, which were very suitable for the needs of the energy conversion system. Observers are also very experienced in marking the three asteroids in conspicuous orange and marking them, one to three, at a glance.
As the commander-in-chief, what Liu Xuan needs to do is to choose one of the three asteroids that is most qualified, and then capture and start the test, which requires Liu Xuan's skills and eyesight.
"Start preparing to capture, target, asteroid number three!" It's just less than ten seconds, Liu Xuan has already made his own decision, it's very simple, the surface of the No. 3 asteroid is relatively smooth, and there are no particularly prominent rocks, which further reduces the difficulty of putting it into the reactor, the No. 1 and No. 2 asteroids are not as easy to capture as the No. 3 asteroid, which is also the reason why Liu Xuan can make his own decision in just a few minutes.
No one questioned Liu Xuan's decision, now it was like being on the battlefield, the time was fleeting, Liu Xuan was their commander, they were the most researchers, and the main thing to do was to strictly implement Liu Xuan's current orders.
The opportunity is fleeting, their movements are very fast, the computer has already watered down the other two asteroids, emphasizing the position of the No. 3 asteroid, and the operator who is holding the capture is also controlling the spacecraft to release his own manipulator, always ready to capture the No. 3 asteroid.
In fact, they still have a lot of ways to capture, launching a gripper, capturing and traction is undoubtedly the easiest, but at the beginning, Liu Xuan vetoed this method, their task this time is to test the energy conversion system, it is undoubtedly safe to grasp with a manipulator, the former method can be used in the future, but now in order to react safely, it can only be with the help of the most difficult method.
The operator was specially invited by Liu Xuan, his operation experience is quite a lot, and Transwarp has a lot of rare resources that are grabbed by his manipulator, for him, Liu Xuan also put down his shelf as the commander-in-chief, and personally went to his place to hire him, so he was invited.
The operator is very skilled, even if there is a long delay, the manipulator he controls is still very stable, as if his hand has really extended hundreds of thousands of kilometers, such a miraculous skill, Liu Xuan also knows that he invited someone this time is the right one.
Just when they were still thinking about how the operator would capture, at the top of the screen, the manipulator outside the rocket had already popped out like lightning, and the target was directly aimed at the No. 3 asteroid.
"Bang Bang!" Liu Xuan couldn't help but take the lead in applauding, this operator really has a lot of experience, and he also knows that the opportunity is fleeting, he just seized the opportunity of that moment, and he shot into the soul, simple and rude.
The next thing is to control the manipulator to put the not too big No. 3 asteroid into the reactor to see if it can be converted out of energy, once there is a strong energy appear, it means that Liu Xuan's energy conversion system is successful, and they are one step closer to their dream.
"Ready to put it in the reactor!" Liu Xuan is also the first time to deploy, their time itself is not a lot, after the acceleration system test just now, the energy of the rocket itself is also a little lacking, now put it into the reactor just to react to produce energy, so it will not waste too much energy.
Liu Xuan's order was acted upon as soon as possible, and under the precise operation of the operator, the No. 3 asteroid had already arrived on the conveyor belt of the reactor, and then as long as the conveyor belt was opened, it was okay to send this asteroid, which was not too big or small, into the reactor and began to release its own energy.
"Start the experiment, turn on the conveyor belt!" Liu Xuan gave an order, the conveyor belt opened, and slowly and firmly took the asteroid to the reactor to send it, the high temperature and high pressure in the reactor furnace was already available, and the reaction catalyst specially made by Liu Xuan was also in place, and the conveyor belt in the reactor could not be sent in, with the strength of the conveyor belt, but it could not withstand the high temperature and high pressure inside, and the last step was still carried out by the intelligent manipulator.
In the expectant eyes of everyone, the manipulator accurately put the asteroid into the reactor, but before Liu Xuanyan could secretly announce the next command, all the pictures and sensors on the command platform in front of him were invalid in an instant.
"What's going on, why is all the information on my side cut off?!" Liu Xuan also stood up in shock and said to the many researchers in front of him. But it was then that he discovered that all the part controlled by the researchers had lost data, in other words, they had completely severed contact with the new propulsion experimental rocket.
"Xuan Lao, all the sensors and detectors are failing, and we have lost all the data!" A researcher was also a little anxious at this time and said to Liu Xuan.
"What about the wrong sensor at some distance from the rocket, is there any information coming back?" Liu Xuan was stunned for a moment, and the next moment he also said to another researcher. The so-called "error sensor" is specially designed to prevent the loss of confidence in the explosion of the rocket, and the location of the design is at the tail of the rocket, the farthest position from the reactor, and it itself is also with an independent line, which is not affected by the entire rocket line.
"No, at the same moment, the wrong sensor was also lost." Another researcher also made an urgent report, extinguishing Liu Xuan's last hope.
"What the hell is going on?" Liu Xuan's legs weakened, sat back in his place, and looked at the ceiling and said blankly.
What he didn't know was that at the same moment. Many of the many probes arranged by the Federation lost contact in an instant, and they did not know what was happening in the far reaches of space.
