Xiao Huan's tears naturally couldn't shake Xia Ming's determination, and the "Singularity" plan was in full swing.

The Singularity has been designed on paper before, and the rough plan is to launch a space station and add a spacecraft. Personnel first ascend to the space station and then transfer to the spacecraft. The space station also has fuel and supplies, which are transferred to the spacecraft at the rendezvous.

Now if two people go to the sky, they will also be separated, one on the spaceship and the other on the space station.

The purpose of this design is to spread the risk of the launch, and to quickly replenish the other part of the launch if something goes wrong on either side. Moreover, Xia Ming is in the sky for the first time, and he needs to spend time doing space adaptation training, and he will fly directly to Zhishenxing, and his body can't bear it. The space station can also help the spacecraft carry some fuel and supplies, reducing the load and risk of the spacecraft when it is launched.

The space station part is a very mature technology, and in terms of spacecraft, the only technical difficulty is the nuclear reactor that provides electricity, that is, the space reactor.

Xia Ming once fantasized about the black technology of directly bursting out of controllable nuclear fusion reactors, but after synthesizing the existing research progress in all aspects, Qianyan believes that this technology "will always have 50 years".

This is not a problem that can be solved by intelligence alone, but involves breakthroughs in the basic theories of physics and a deeper understanding of the cosmological constants. To put it simply, there is still a huge scientific black hole that human scientists need to pass through in the field of controlled nuclear fusion.

To get the energy system done as soon as possible, the only option is Russia.

Some time ago, Vasily, in the name of Kunpeng, had already returned to China to communicate with the Russian space department.

For the sake of 500 million US dollars, as well as the face of free authorization to improve technology, the Russian space agency readily agreed to cooperate. The condition is that the technology cannot be transferred to other countries or companies, including Huaxia, and that the improved design is carried out in Russia throughout the process. It was not until the assembly time that the space was piled up to Huaxia, and the Russians had to be in charge of security at the site.

The Huaxia aerospace department knew that Xia Ming had hooked up with the Russians, but he couldn't get the benefits, and he was a little unhappy.

However, Kunpeng Company has already stuffed a lot of black technology, and it is too late to digest it. Although the domestic research on space reactors has not started recently, this technology does not have an insurmountable technical threshold like VASMR.

Vasily's side summoned a bunch of Russian nuclear experts, and through Chiyan's remote assistance, began the improvement of the space reactor.

When it comes to space nuclear reactors, although several nuclear powers are involved, and even Japan and Germany have corresponding technologies, Russia is the most used.

So far, the United States has launched 14 man-made objects with space reactors into space, while the former Soviet Union and Russia have launched 37.

The reason is that the United States is on the side because the anti-nuclear forces are strong, Maozi is on the side because other energy technologies are too expensive to play, and the space reactor is directly making a fuss about nuclear technology and can concentrate forces, so the scientific and technological tree of nuclear application is deeper.

In 1965, after the United States launched a satellite carrying a liquid metal reactor, it fell down due to a malfunction, causing panic in the international community, and the United States had to stop the research and application of space reactors. It wasn't until the nineties that the tech tree was carefully rebooted.

Mao Zi did not have so many scruples, in 1967, immediately following the United States, launched a satellite carrying a space reactor, and then it was out of control, until the collapse of the Soviet Union did not stop for a while, but Russia inherited the Soviet legacy and continued to do it.

There are now four Russian military satellites in space equipped with new space reactors, the most powerful of which has a power generation capacity of 600 kilowatts and a total weight of 1.5 tons.

With Russia's financial resources, technology and needs, this technology tree is actually difficult to support, let alone carry forward. The emergence of the Kunpeng company has become a shot in the arm for the Russians. The group of Russian space reactor experts gathered by Vasily were all so poor that they couldn't open the pot. It is said that Pugin the Great only considered it for ten minutes before approving the cooperation.

$500 million is just a trivial matter, and letting Kunpeng improve the design for free is only a benefit in the aerospace field, and what makes Putin excited is that he can not only retain a group of nuclear experts so that he will not be pried into a corner by Huaxia, but also use space reactor technology to leverage higher-level strategic transactions with Huaxia.

This is also another reason why the Huaxia aerospace department is itchy but can't put their mouths down, just pinching their noses as spectators. On Huaxia's side, the upper echelons were also caught off guard and didn't think about how to deal with it.

Improvements started around D100 and are expected to be completed in two months. With Qianyan's assistance, this progress is not fast. If you get it to the research institute, it is estimated that it can be done in a month.

The improvement of the space reactor is simple for the technology that the institute now has. Reducing the core load and reconstructing the shielding system with new materials reduced the weight of the entire reactor to less than 1 ton. At the same time, the original circuit is replaced with gallium nitride circuit to improve the reliability of the control system. Together with the newly installed waste heat absorption and conversion system, the power generation capacity remains unchanged and the service life is increased from 15 to 20 years.

With a power generation capacity of 600 kilowatts, enough to power three 20-megawatt VASIMRs, the Singularity spacecraft did not develop higher-power VASIMRs, which is beyond the current state of technology. Dongfang Sheng is continuing to optimize weight reduction and complete the linkage management of the three engines.

Energy and power are not a problem, and for Xia Ming, the life-sustaining system is the first time they have come into contact with it.

The Huaxia Aerospace Department was quite righteous, and gave them the technology of the life-sustaining system for free, which could be regarded as a little reward for Xia Ming. It's just that they don't understand Xia Ming's plan very much, and many people persuade Xia Ming to be calm, which is naturally ineffective.

If they knew that it was Xia Ming who would go to the sky in person, I am afraid that Xia Ming would also be tied to the ground, and now that Xia Ming has become a source of black technology across the two fields of intelligence and aerospace, they will never tolerate such a national treasure-level talent flying into space to gamble for his life.

From the perspective of the life support system, Xia Ming, an astronaut, is not qualified, and his physical condition is too poor.

It is expected that the "Singularity" will be able to ascend to the sky on D210, that is, about two and a half months after the failure of the "Detonator".

During this time, Xia Ming had to complete various physical training.

So he realized the benefits of the set of neural models that Liluo gave him, he could directly send all kinds of the most scientific exercise programs to Xia Xiaoyan, and Xia Xiaoyan would drive his body to exercise, and he would be able to divide his mind and be busy with other things.

He can also monitor his workout progress in real time and adjust immediately if something goes wrong. For example, his physique, after only two weeks of intensive training, rose to 1.1, which means that his physical condition has grown from an abandoned house to above average.

Although it is still a cut behind the average index of 2.0 for astronauts, this kind of growth of a few tenths of a day gives Xia Ming a wonderful feeling of crossing into the system text, which is very inconsistent and has a sense of achievement.

A month later, Xia Ming's physique was improved to 1.6, his dexterity was improved to 1.2, and his condition also returned to "good", and he was basically qualified as an astronaut.

The biggest change on the face is the muscles that can already see the outline, especially the eight-pack abs, although they are far less strong than bodybuilders, but they can still make the girl's eyes jump.

At night, Xiao Huan wrapped Xia Ming tightly with his hands and legs, convulsed for a while, and after he was paralyzed, he muttered unhappily: "It's so hard, it doesn't feel like Ah Ming when you hold it." ”

Xia Ming finally rolled the sheets with Xiao Huan, and the feeling of blending soul and flesh was really like ascending to heaven. Just looking at Xiao Huan after getting through the initial pain, pestering Xia Ming night and night, and even asking a little excessively, you can know how addicted she is.

Xia Ming himself was a little entangled, which obviously meant a bit of admiration, and Xiao Huan's joy even became a training item, which was clearly listed on Liluo's schedule. Lilo's reason is also very strong: "Endocrine disorders are the great enemy of astronauts......"

Xia Ming used this to squeeze Xiaotang, who was also training, Xiaotang just smiled faintly: "I only need to stay 50,000 kilometers away from the earth, and you are going to a place 500 million kilometers away." ”

He couldn't refute this, but Xiao Huan didn't just rush to help him regulate his endocrine, just like this, after taking a breath, his waist shook again: "Ah Ming, you are not well, continue to ......"

Thinking about what Xiaotang had done in private, Xia Ming sighed secretly. Whether it is Xiao Huan or Xiaotang, any one you meet, it is a blessing that you can't cultivate in a lifetime, but now they are all by their side, and they go on with him wholeheartedly.

By the way, there used to be Qianyan, Lin Qianyan, if it weren't for her, he wouldn't have come to this point.

Thinking of Lin Qianyan, Xia Ming felt that he couldn't live up to the people around him now, no matter whether the "singularity" was a success or a failure, he had to cherish every minute.

Holding up Xiao Huan's softness, Xia Ming said in a low voice: "Okay, go on, I don't see if I can't get up tomorrow if I don't make you happy......"

"Cai, Cai is not afraid of you!" Xiao Huan gritted his teeth and said, his waist shook faster.

After more than half a month, Xiao Huan has become a professional in bed, even if her body is a little unbearable, she still squeezes Xia Ming all night, or is squeezed by Xia Ming. On the contrary, it was Xia Ming, whose physical condition was getting better and better.

While exercising, Xia Ming was also making arrangements in various aspects, and took a few days to go home to visit his parents and take Xiao Huan back.

"Dad, the body is the capital of the revolution, don't stop listening to the doctor."

"Mom, you can spend the money you want to spend as much as you want, do you want you to save it for me to marry a daughter-in-law? This is already there, it's still upside down, ouch Xiaohuan, don't pinch! ”

Originally, Xia Ming was a stuffy gourd at home, but this time he went back with a very broken mouth, which surprised his parents.

Thinking that his son is a big celebrity and a big scientist, there are naturally such and such changes, and they didn't say anything. didn't notice that when Xia Ming spoke, Xiao Huan lowered his head and rubbed his eyes, and occasionally sniffled.

Even if he changed to a new house, his parents still moved all the furniture in Xia Ming's bedroom, not to mention the old bed.

Sleeping on the bed that he hadn't seen for a long time, Xiao Huan lay on Xia Ming's body, and the light in his eyes was like fireflies at night, flickering in a blur.

She said softly: "Ah Ming, no matter how far you fly, whether it is 500 million kilometers or 500 million light years, our hearts are together, right?" ”

Xia Ming nodded: "Of course......"

She lowered her head and nodded Xia Ming's lips, and then leaned into Xia Ming's ear, and the burning breath was wrapped in low and inaudible words: "-me, until I can't move my fingers......"

The good girl suddenly turned into a, and Xia Ming didn't care about any concentration or sound, and turned over and pressed her under her.

The crunching sound, the clash of flesh and skin, the moaning of the girl, pierced through the two-story door and clearly entered the parents' bedroom. The old couple glanced at each other, both relieved and helpless.

Two months passed quickly, and on the night when he was about to leave for Panxi, Xia Ming fought Xiao Huan so much that he couldn't lift his fingers. Finally avoided the scene of the two reluctant to say goodbye in tears when they set off in the early morning.

Xiaotang has already gone to the United States, where she will be launched on a space station by Space-X's Falcon-E heavy rocket.

"I'm waiting for you in the sky", Xiaotang sent him a message, concise, but evocative. (To be continued.) )
