Chapter 70: The Earth Starts Its Engine
Removing stones from the bottom of the sea will not cause damage to the marine ecological environment? Haige believed Wedel's words, but feared for the safety of the sea creatures.
"Contrary to what you might think, our move not only did not threaten the Earth's marine ecosystem, but saved it. ”
With a single click, Hai Ge fully understood that the light of salvation had indeed moved half of the earth's oceans to the depths of the earth's depths, and that the reef and gravel had followed countless underwater creatures, who were now leisurely cruising in their new homes, unaware that the old homes that covered the surface of the earth were about to face the danger of sea dryness.
As long as it is not over-exploited in the center of the earth, the sea here will not be affected by the construction of the earth's starting engine, and what the Light of Salvation has done is to swap the marine resources on the earth's surface with the mineral resources of the center of the earth, and the result is to kill two birds with one stone.
Next, Wedel introduced the structure of the big crab-plasma fusion engine to Haige.
The main body of the central circular "crab shell" is a giant vacuum chamber with ohmic coils, hoop field coils, and polar field coils wound around the outside of the vacuum chamber. These coils provide excellent stability for the plasma current and cause the current to heat itself to form a spiral magnetic field that achieves the effective combustion temperature required for heavy element fusion.
Eight "crab legs" sticking out, each with a length of 1,846 kilometers, are the thrust reversers of the engine, called thrust arms. Nuclear power is continuously transported from the vacuum chamber to the eight thrust arms, which must not only ensure that the thrust arms are equal in force with each other, but also add up to a total power force greater than gravity. After the engine starts, the thrust arm and gravity first repel each other, and the two sides form a strong opposing thrust field, and the thrust arm wins in the opposite thrust process, allowing the earth to rotate along the horizontal plane, thus leaving the original orbit of the solar system.
The eight giant arms contain powerful magnetic cores, and the magnetic poles facing the center of the earth are the same as those of gravity, creating the effect of repulsion of the same poles, so that they can never attract each other, and once they enter the game state, they will only move away from each other.
"Another reason for installing eight thrust arms for this large-scale heavy element fusion device is to ensure that the overall force balance of the earth will not overturn in the process of pushing against gravity, right?" ”
Wedel nodded appreciatively, "Exactly. Not only the construction site of the starting engine, but also the mechanical balance point of the eight thrust arms is also a conclusion reached by dozens of mechanics experts. It was not an easy task to balance the thrust of more than a trillion tons on eight points, but the Light of Redemption organization did it. ”
"More than one trillion tons of thrust ......" Hai Ge stuck out his tongue and wanted to ask again, but he couldn't find the right words to express his meaning.
Seeing him slurping, Weddle said, "You want to ask, how long can the heavy element fuel we prepared last if we start the engine with all our might?" ”
"Oh...... Yes! That's exactly the question Haige wanted to ask.
Wedel pinched his good-looking chin with one hand, tilted his head and pondered for a while before saying, "On the whole, the Earth Start Engine itself is a complete nuclear reactor, and the nuclear power generated is enough to ensure its own stable operation for 16 hours. As long as the Earth can successfully change its orbit during this time, it can get rid of the confinement of the sun's tidal forces and start its escape journey to the outer galaxy.
"Is 16 hours enough or urgent to push the Earth out of its current orbit?"
Haige couldn't imagine what it would be like on the surface when the earth really began to change tracks, but in the depths of the earth, the scene must be boiling over, and he didn't know where he would be at that time.
Far from the earth to start the engine, deep in the Lying Elephant Mountain, is a factory that produces various modules and components day and night. The factory covers a wide area, comparable to the entire city of Nishitsu. Not only does it divide half of the Lying Elephant Mountain, but the extra part also crosses the golden coastline and extends to a wide production platform erected in the ocean.
In that busy factory, Haige really saw no signs of human activity, only teams of AI workers, entering and exiting various workshops according to different types of work. They move as fast as a video camera plays a fast forward, and it is dazzling to watch. Hai Ge thought to himself, this can probably be seen as the future of the development of earth science and technology, right?
The tour of Woxiang Mountain on the Doji Aircraft did not last long, and it was about to return. Before he could finish his mind, Wedel took him back through the radiation-proof electromagnetic barrier and circled over the Light of Salvation workspace for a week.
It turns out that the architectural planning of this area is also very exquisite. Looking down from the air, it is in the shape of a torch as a whole, and Wedell said that such a creative idea is a symbol that the fire of the earth's civilization will spread endlessly in the universe, and the earth's civilization will soon join the big family of the universe's civilization.
Hai Ge had a different understanding, and timidly spoke up about this understanding.
"Mr. Wedel, I'm guessing the architect who designed the torch shape wasn't you, but someone else in the organization, or even all the scientists?"
"Son, why do you think that?" Wedel was stunned.
Hai Ge said: "You come from a planet where fire is the source of life, and you brought the flame of technology and civilization that represents that planet here, and used the flame to light the torch that dispelled the darkness and kept the people of the earth moving forward. With your guidance, Earth can break through the blockade of death and continue into the future, so I think the members of the Light of Redemption are paying homage to you in this form. ”
"This ......" Wedel hung his head suddenly, and his two large rough hands kept rubbing together, as if he was ashamed of his praise.
"I ......," he said guiltily, "you can't just focus on what I've done and ignore my weaknesses in other areas. In fact, the name of the organization of the Light of Salvation has nothing to do with Professor Li Zhengsong, it is all because of me......"
"Huh?!"
Hai Ge was amazed to hear this. Wedel's attitude was obviously not modest, but something was really hidden in his heart. But this kind alien, regardless of personal gains and losses, just worked hard to help the earthlings escape, how could he commit a sin that needed redemption?
"Moreover," added Wedel, "the culprit of the sun's anomaly is the U-star black hole, which is my home planet, and it is understandable that the earthlings regard me as an enemy because of this." ”
"That's not right......" Haige tried to defend him, but he raised his hand to stop him.
"Okay, let's talk about these things later, let's solve the dinner problem first."
Wedell was very good at changing the subject, and before Hai Ge could continue to ask questions, he flew away in a U-turn with the aircraft.
In fact, Hai Ge also wants to enter the office of the Light of Salvation and see how those scientists work, especially Professor Li Zhengsong, and maybe even talk to the old man. But it was clear that Wedel had no intention of taking him in.
