Volume 1 Survival on Another Planet Chapter 11 The Source of Happiness
After 11 hours, Sirius successfully entered the synchronous rotation orbit of Strawstar, and the ship's various probes began to operate at full power, collecting detailed data on the current observable surface.
In the long process of orbit change, some basic data have been collected, the planet's rotation period is 49h36m02 seconds, the orbital period is determined to be about 7.6 standard years, the surface area is 34.76% liquid water, 44.14% land, 22.1% glaciers, the surface atmospheric pressure value is estimated to be 0.31Mpa, and the boiling point of surface liquid pure water is calculated to be 315.4K......
Xingxing has two satellites, and the No. 1 satellite has detected the high abundance of helium-3 according to the detection of spectral data.
Su Zhao analyzed the data, in general, Straw Star is a good planet, although the air cannot breathe directly, the atmospheric pressure on the surface is a little higher, and the average temperature is a little higher, but it can still move on the surface of the planet by wearing protective clothing. It is more power-consuming, and I have to supply power to the air filtration device and heat dissipation device of the protective clothing. It is also necessary to maintain airtightness, and the power consumption of the prosthesis will also increase, and it is not suitable for long-term solo surface activities.
At present, there are abundant shallow resources on the surface, a few of which can be used directly, and other resources lack corresponding mining methods. However, the good news is that the spacecraft comes with a gas handling device and a liquid handling device, which originally had the function of replenishing basic resources during the voyage, which belonged to the standard equipment. These basic resources ensure the normal operation of the nutrient synthesis machine and continuously produce basic nutrients. Fortunately, you can absorb it by inserting it in your body, you don't have to eat it, the taste of that thing is similar to snot in Su Zhao's memory, and it makes me sick when I think about it.
The bad news is that the operation of these two units consumes some industrial products such as catalysts, and the stock cannot be replenished if it is used up. Another big problem is that the tritium and helium-3 of fusion fuel cannot be replenished, both of which require industrial processing capacity to extract.
Su Zhao looked at the operation of the fusion unit, indicating that he had a headache, the fusion unit carried by Sirius is a special model for matching small spacecraft, and it supports tritium-helium-3 fusion, this scheme has long been the default choice for shipborne fusion units because of its low difficulty in fusion, no neutron emission, and the generation of charged particles can be constrained. I silently estimated the running time of the remaining reserves,
It is estimated that it will be able to operate for about 50 years under the maintenance of antimatter raw material storage equipment, and the amount of electricity used for the next activities will be ...... Well, "the main machine, substituting these parameters, the equation formula is selected as follows, and the result is calculated", and the result is about 37 years or so.
Looking at the three words of antimatter, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he remembered a certain description of the antimatter unit - "self-generation to maintain the operation of the unit", and immediately consulted the relevant description of the entry.
The text file mentions that the helium-4 superfluid has the magical property of directly converting light energy into mechanical energy, etc., and its principle involves high-end physics such as condensed matter and bosons, while the heat dissipation system mainly uses its nearly infinite heat conduction efficiency characteristics as a heat conduction medium. The heat dissipation system can also provide the redundant part of the operating power to the thermoelectric conversion device for power generation, which realizes the function of self-generation and maintenance of the unit.
Theoretically, it is very correct to use the antimatter unit as a generator set, and the energy level of the annihilation reaction is much higher than that of the fusion reaction, and the starship can completely eliminate the fusion unit.
The reasons why this is not done in reality are as follows: First, the preparation of antimatter raw materials is difficult, and the price is very high, and the price disadvantage of directly serving as a generator set exceeds the energy level advantage. The production of fusion raw materials is extremely inexpensive in an interstellar context, and the cost of transportation is almost equal to its price.
The second is that the fusion unit has met the power demand of the starship, especially the large starship, the power supply of the fusion unit can now be more than 300 standard years, and the expedition model can even directly extract the reaction raw materials on the surface of the gaseous planet, which is simply frustrating.
The third point is the limitation of the Federation's materials science and technology, a standard reaction unit is used for power generation, and the bottleneck power of the power conversion system is only about 0.3% of the full power of the unit, and now there is no device except the warp engine that can withstand the full operation of the antimatter unit.
The three-point synthesis, although the annihilation reaction has a large number of advantages, the reaction has no by-products, the power is easy to control, the reaction energy level is high, the reaction unit is small, etc., which is the reason why the Federation does not use antimatter units for power supply. Perhaps in the future, scientific and technological progress will solve the two major problems of raw materials and materials, and the fusion unit will be eliminated by the starship.
This function soothes Su Zhao's worries about electricity, as long as the unit is not broken, it is not easy to carry this 2kg antiproton single power generation for hundreds of standard years? So his brows relaxed, anyway, the warp engine is now unusable, and there are so many antimatter that don't need to be used in vain, after landing, let the antimatter crew self-sustain, and the power liberated by the fusion crew from the antiproton storage device will be used to maintain the function of the spacecraft.
After figuring it out, Su Zhao's brows stretched and he breathed a sigh of relief, the energy crisis can be said to have been solved. As a person who is anxious about 98% of his batteries, you can imagine how much his spirit has endured because of this.
"Well, now there is only one question before me! Climb the tech tree to solve the resource problem! ”
With a firm gaze and a serious expression, he decided to draw up several five-year plans for climbing industrial science and technology.
"One five-year excavator, two five-year mining, three five-year smelters, four five-year bases, five five-year installation of machines, six five-year love, seven five-year concubines, eight five-year battleships, nine five-year hometowns, back to the old ~ home!"
"My literary attainments are still profound, the rhythm is plucked, the lips are open, not bad, I deserve the style of a master."
This person, squinting, staggering, shook his head and slammed himself up. It's like I blurted out the smooth mouth like a masterpiece. This self-aggrandizing kung fu may really be a bit of a master.
……
"At present, the surface model has been established, the login location screening has been completed, and the coordinates have been generated, please select the landing site to determine the landing plan."
Well, there are still many practical problems waiting for Su Zhao to solve, looking at the surface model projected by the hologram, he kept zooming in on each loggable coordinate, analyzing the relevant parameters, and carefully choosing. The advantages and disadvantages of the geographical location are directly related to the smooth implementation of his future nine five-year plans. If you choose a poor mountain and bad water, won't you become a bad person? Ah no, then it's not a refugee, and when the time comes, it's time to talk about the machine girl, and the excavator girl has no play.
Su Zhao gradually locked on a coordinate, this place was located near the ocean, with a solid rocky surface. Traces of waterline and weathering indicate that the site was in a steady state of flux for a long time. Particle detectors and spectral data show that the area is rich in minerals, that no traces of biological activity have been detected on the surface, and that further sampling and analysis of marine composition data will be required after landing.
He looked at the indicators again and again, consulted the relevant suggestions and warnings on the selection of landing sites in the planetary landing manual, and decided to observe the temperature change of the site for another planetary day, and calculated the change curve in the orbital period of the site by combining the orbital period and orbital attitude of the planet.
The change of surface temperature is an important reference index for human beings to survive on a planetary surface. After all, organisms are too fragile to keep their core temperature zone in the range all the time. Once hypothermia or overtemperature occurs, the cells and tissues will be damaged directly, and life will be in danger.
Su Zhao made up his mind that from now on, except in the crew compartment, this helmet will never be opened anywhere, never.
After issuing various observation tasks with the ship's main engine and confirming the details, he returned to the captain's room and floated on the quilt made of biomaterials on the surface of the luxurious bed with the faint planetary gravity, and felt the soft and warm touch with his side face. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart that it was so good to have rich Dafa, and the captain's quilt was used as such a luxury.
You must know that the Federation has only discovered 7 natural life planets by counting motherhood, and two planets have already had intelligent life civilizations. In addition to the fact that human tissue is not worth much, the price of other useful biological tissues is sky-high, not to mention such a quilt made of all biological materials.
I still remember hearing a little news in my hometown when I was a child, and the local consul paid a lot of money to bring in an animal called sheep from the capital star, and established a huge high-level ecological zone for them to breed. For Xiao Su Zhao, my God, the animals I have seen since birth are only human beings.
The creatures that can be seen are all kinds of magic changes, no, genetically optimized plants, that's also a great thing, only in the first-level living area there are bare planted green plants, and the green plants in other areas are in the ecological cabinet, and everyone sharpens their heads and wants to live in the first-level living area.
Speaking of the consuls, they bought the legendary animals and built an eco-zone for them. Even more terrifying is coming, this animal, it! Eat! Green! Plant! Anyway, Xiao Su Zhao lay on the ground with a bang after hearing this, animals, eat, you can use green plants...... The young Su Zhao couldn't withstand this kind of blow, so he thought about one thing in his heart, this has to take advantage of the few battleship models! I can't even count my toes when my fingers are broken.
In the end, the consul himself made a quilt for himself with the hair of this animal, and after covering it everywhere, his waist does not hurt, his legs are not sore, his head is not dizzy, his eyes are not dizzy, he is not dizzy, he is so fast, he can drive a shuttle to complete 32 tracks on the planet in one go, and the whole person is almost like 20 years younger! That's the head is bright, the skin is better, and even the forehead lines are gone! The most amazing thing is that I broke my leg in an accident, and after connecting it, I covered it with a wool quilt overnight.
Ladies and gentlemen, guess what? He stood up!
Eh~ I took a step at that time, and I could still trot and jump, hey! Big Jump!
However, it is said that he didn't pay attention at the time, and when he landed, he fell into an unlocked maintenance pipe in front of everyone, and some people said that after that, the mechanical prosthetic maintenance center had a lot of orders to repair the respiratory and circulatory system, and the reason for the failure was that he held his breath for too long.
Su Zhao recalled the interesting things that happened a few hours later, sighed, and missed. With the moistening of the eye sockets...... I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"I'm telling you, don't go around! The consul was not in pain because he had taken analgesics, his eyes were not dazzled because he had just had retinal surgery, he used stimulants to drive 32 tracks, and his leg was also broken on the track. I became younger and went for beauty, and I got injections and pulled my skin...... What's going on with the last leg, you ask? I almost forgot about this stubble.,It's broken for too long and it's necrotic.,After that, I changed the mechanic.。 This is what your friend Qingshan said to himself at the time, this guy is wilted, and when he meets someone, he will say, "I can tell you a big secret, I am not allowed to tell others, do you listen?" ”
And then, and then the whole planet of people knew.
The more Su Zhao thought about it, the more he laughed, the more he laughed, the more he thought about it, his whole neck was red with laughter, and he rolled up with his stomach.
"Oh mom, Qingshan's play is too funny, I only went straight when I grew up, and the consul is his own uncle and grandfather!"
