Volume 4 Entering Kunlun Chapter 89 Project Nodes
After entering the transport bridge, the green snake found the conspicuous emergency start button, and with a flick of its tail, the hatch door retracted and closed, and the pipeline safety door closed, and the rear end pressurization procedure began.
Differential pressure pipe sections like this generally have a double-end circulating pressure stabilization system, and the high-pressure gas at the rear end is released to the front end to quickly complete the pressure equalization, and then pressurized by the rear end to push the transportation bridge to the front end.
The overall structure is simple and reliable, except for the gas compressor, the rest are all kinds of pure mechanical structure valves and pipelines, and the extreme point can even be a transmission valve instead of an electronic valve, which is easy to use and easy to maintain is its advantage.
The Kunlun ruins are obviously much stronger than the technology known by Hella to optimize this differential pressure pipeline technology, it only takes 2 seconds to complete the air pressure balance into the pressurized transportation state, the transportation bridge continues to increase speed, 6 seconds to reach the top speed, 3 seconds to run at full speed, the last second directly use the gas compression method inside the pipeline section of the pipeline section to decelerate the bridge, and finally stationary fixation.
The Accelerometer of the Twin Snakes easily calculated the distance traveled in just twelve seconds, 263 meters.
The hatch opened, and the security door was drilled out, and in front of it was a pitch-black space, only the ring light of the security door behind it emitted a faint light to illuminate the short ground under the snake's body.
It's so dark, of course, it's the lights on, but this time the double snake honestly adjusted the appropriate power, and used the diffuser lens to apply the head laser light group as a normal lighting device, instead of the laser pulse gun just now.
Then the bright light of the heads of the two snakes swept away the deep black fog, revealing the real scene of the space in front of them, and some details were revealed in the ultra-high-resolution electronic eyes of the two snakes.
The main color of the environment in front of him is not as simple as before, white and black are the main theme, the main color of the interior paint has changed to emerald blue, several large equipment with extremely similar appearances are neatly and compactly distributed in the space, and there are a large number of fixed mechanical arms that shrink and fold on the six walls on standby.
The twin snakes move forward, swimming through a black jungle of dormant mechanical arms.
Swimming, the white snake found that the green snake had fallen behind.
She didn't bother to look back, the light and shadow flickering in front of her because of the turning of the green snake's headlight had already told her what the green snake was doing, and it must have been an old mistake again.
What is the old problem, it must be winding zero-distance contact with these robotic arms, and then collect data!
"Sister! Although these robotic arms are not thick, they are so long and hard! The accuracy is definitely very high! It uses a segmented precision structure similar to the linear transmission principle, and the end movement accuracy is estimated in the micron range! This kind of precision is too luxurious to move and load parts! ”
Sure enough, the sound of the green snake screaming came from behind, and she had wrapped the snake's body around a slender robotic arm to collect detailed structural data, and the end grabbing mechanism of these robotic arms was obviously used to grab and move parts.
According to its structural characteristics, although its power structure has not been disassembled for in-depth observation, Hella has roughly deduced its moving accuracy based on the experience in mechanical equipment, and the loading capacity of the mechanical arm is obviously not low, the green snake fuselage pulled with all its might, and it did not make the mechanical arm move a minute, although it may be the reason for the internal locking mechanism, but the end of the movable arm is only more than ten centimeters in diameter, how big the locking device can be, and this can withstand the equivalent torque of nearly 300 Nm applied by the green snake, which is really strong.
White Snake didn't bother to pay attention to her, and swam to the side of those large mechanical equipment to observe, these equipment presented a cylindrical direct ceiling, and the outer protective layer was very tight, only some closed valves of different sizes, similar to the feeding port can be discharged, it is difficult to get a glimpse of it.
Lenovo's path along the way, and the scene of a machining center in this space, is supposed to be an automated processing and production center, responsible for the production of supplementary replacement parts for the peripheral facilities of the ruins, and small electronic devices like the Black Pearl may have come down from the production line here.
This makes the white snake also very curious about the internal structure of this automatic processing and manufacturing center, what kind of manufacturing technology can produce those extremely sophisticated and high-end electronic equipment, and carefully probed the ground connection, the white snake feels that the machining center in front of him may only be a small part of the overall equipment, the current space is just a port for feeding input and parts output, and there is a larger internal structure hidden in the invisible place.
Similar to this kind of high-tech products, the required production environment must be very harsh, from the strict protection of these equipment can be analyzed, but hundreds of thousands of years of dormancy, I don't know whether these processing centers still have good processing and manufacturing capacity after restoring energy supply, if they can also restore the production state, it can provide great help to them in the future.
At present, the space utilization rate of the processing node compartment is very high, and the passage space left is not rich, but it is suitable for Roselle's serpentine structure carrier to wander, and after using the detailed data of the entire space to scan the structural model in ten minutes, Roselle will have to consider the next exploration process.
After performing a symbolic calculation on the collected logo icons, there are now two forward lanes for the White Snake to choose from.
One is that the pipeline should lead to the raw material production plant or storage, and this pipeline has a similar symbol to the feeding port of the processing center, and Roselle's judgment is more likely to lead to the latter.
In this kind of space facility, there are usually fewer spare finished parts, and more raw materials are stored and reprocessed according to demand.
The advantage of this model is that the materials are stored in the form of raw materials, saving storage space, and the parts that can be produced by themselves are more flexible and can be produced on demand.
The disadvantage is that the facilities have extremely high requirements for their own production capacity, if there is no high-level automatic processing and production technology, the space occupied by the processing equipment will be much larger than the storage space saved by the storage of raw materials, the gains outweigh the losses, and for the energy supply, manufacturing technology, processing level, resource allocation and so on are great challenges.
The reason why the Sirius they are on is the most advanced small starship in the Federation is because it is successfully equipped with a fully automatic maintenance system, has a shipboard engineering center, can carry out self-maintenance operations and produce and process common parts in a timely manner, and the engineering center has a very high level of integration and teaching staff, so it can be given the most advanced name of the two gangs.
However, correspondingly, the effective storage volume of the Sirius is occupied by the additional fully automatic maintenance system, which makes it reduce the effective cargo space volume by nearly 24% compared to the small cargo starships of the same class, but brings automatic cruise capabilities beyond the same class.
After all, the standard crew of the Sirius only needs three, and the ultra-long cruise time it has, and counting the crew space saved, naturally surpasses the starships of the same class in an all-round way and becomes the fist product among the small starships of the Human Federation.
However, it looks like a very powerful Kunlun technology is obviously much less limited in this regard, engineering manufacturing capacity should not be a problem, a large number of materials should be used in the mode of raw material storage, and as for the raw material refining plant, from the perspective of hundreds of thousands of years of stable geological environment in the Qingshan Mountains, it is estimated that it has not been used again after the landing in Kunlun, and it should be connected to the raw material storage module, so it is basically determined that this channel is to the raw material storage node.
And the other additional channel is the lead, which is extremely important to the energy supply node!
Through a large number of logo comparisons, Roselle has seen symbols similar to this channel logo on the energy supply interface of many devices, so it came to this conclusion.
Given the size of the Kunlun ruins and its extremely advanced level of technology, it is unlikely that its energy supply system will adopt a center-and-spoke energy supply model, and such space facilities generally use a regionalized independent node energy supply network.
With the Kunlun ruins comparable to the volume of an asteroid, it is inevitable that there is only one set of processing facility nodes, and there are not many similar modular structures on the periphery of the whole.
Although the energy supply technology of Kunlun Technology is still unknown, if it can enter the energy supply node section and restore the active energy supply in this area, it will greatly improve the exploration efficiency of the two snakes.
Because after entering the automatic factory node, the large number of access safety doors here makes the double snakes helpless with a very high level of protection.
Although the internal pressure here has been balanced, there is no need to face the pressure difference pipeline of one-way energy supply again, but every time the safety door is opened, it needs to provide emergency power supply, and some of the real safety doors that are not used for traffic activities can not be opened at all, and they are locked directly, which shows that there is naturally no active equipment behind these doors, so there is no need to design emergency opening measures.
And as they go deep into the node compartment of Kunlun, there are more and more external passages for these nodes that extend in all directions, and if they have an accident and are trapped in this complex dark passage labyrinth, it will be difficult to get out.
As long as a mistake in opening the door causes the safety door to lock, in the dormant Kunlun without any energy supply, the twin snakes can only wait for the mother program to send a carrier to explore the next time, and maybe they can still find them.
"Xiaoqing, come here! Don't lick those robotic arms anymore! Let's go to the energy supply node to have a look! ”
"Don't you want to know what the energy reactor of the Kunlun ruins looks like?"
As soon as he heard about the energy reactor, the green snake looked like the host had overclocked, and bounced off a mechanical arm on the ceiling, opened the power wheel and rushed directly to the white snake.
"Energy reactor! I'm going to see it, I'm going to see it! I don't know what the principle will be, sister, do you say it will be the legendary infinite energy, string energy vibration furnace! ”
"Or is it a high-order fusion reactor? Or maybe the Singularity Energy Core? ”
"I'm looking forward to it!"
Xiaoqing couldn't be excited, after all, she didn't know anything about the energy supply technology of the Kunlun Ruins, so she naturally began to fantasize about the advanced energy generation equipment in the database that was in a theoretical state.
"You, what are you thinking in your head, you really have to have a cosmic string kinetic energy device, start this planet once and it will be gone, and it is basically impossible for the equipment that can apply cosmic chord motion to be smaller than the volume of the star."
"Also, if the principle of nuclear fusion is basically abolished, have you forgotten that the nuclear fusion reaction cannot be stopped? The singularity energy core is also a loss to you, do you still want to say that there is gravitational shielding technology here! ”
complained about Xiaoqing a few words, the white snake was really defeated by his sister's whimsical thinking logic, and all he thought about was some Pegasus starry sky things, which was too exaggerated.
Too lazy to pay attention to Xiaoqing, White Snake inserted the power supply interface at the tail into the emergency interface of the safety door of the passage leading to the energy supply node.
A simple protective door like this does not require much high load, and the output power of the circuit of the White Snake body should be enough to open.
The protective door opened, and the two snakes swam one after the other, swimming into the deep and lengthy passage, heading into the depths.
