260 Experiments
Lan Yuanxing's boxed lunch is really good, and it has also achieved the expected effect. Before Liu Haoyu and their lunch was over, Raymond and Peng Jiaqi's phone began to ring non-stop.
They all called from those research institutions in the sky, and after briefly asking about the price of the boxed lunch, they all ordered a standard boxed lunch for 15 star coins.
There are also more expensive ones, but the kind of high-end lunch boxes is that these research institutions are not bad for money, and they can't afford it for a long time. Although the price of 15 Star Coins is a small price, it is still affordable for those of them.
This is the best appetizer, at least Liu Haoyu drank two more glasses of wine than usual, and everyone's meaning is similar, which can be regarded as a good start.
There is also a person who is an exception, Francis is always a little absent-minded during meals, and he just echoes everyone's talk.
"Francis, what's wrong? Got a problem with the installation of the reactor? Didn't you say there were some gains from the Star of Hope? After lunch, Liu Haoyu asked curiously after handing Francis a cigar.
The Star of Hope was regarded as one of the most technologically advanced spacecraft at the time, and Francis gained a lot from the energy output of the reactor and the energy supply pipeline of the spacecraft's weapons.
"Owner, in fact, I have already installed the reactor on the repair platform. With the application of new materials, the technical standards of the Star of Hope reactor are even better. It can improve heat dissipation and have a higher safety factor. But there are so many spaceships out there that I haven't been able to find a chance to experiment. Francis said with a sad face.
In the past, the spacecraft he repaired were all energy-based, and it can be said that the construction of the reactor this time was completely theoretical. However, the appearance of the Star of Hope not only gave him a breakthrough in technology, but also provided him with a powerful reference.
These days, all of them live with the material company, and the parts produced are transported to the repair platform. Now that the reactor was built, he remembered that the ships outside seemed to be in the way.
If the reactor on the maintenance platform is successfully operated once, it is said that it will not attract the attention of others. But what if there is a small situation? So many spaceships can be seen, and I'm afraid that this little secret on the Blue Source Star will not be able to be kept at that time.
It's okay to drive farther away for testing, but I'm afraid that the rescue will not be timely after a situation occurs, and I'm afraid that Liu Haoyu will have to follow if it's far away.
After all, reactors are very dangerous, especially the reactor under the construction of new materials has improved its performance a lot, and if it really explodes, the scope of danger is also wide. If Liu Haoyu is really injured, the matter will be a big deal. So he has always been ready to secretly go to the test and not tell Liu Haoyu.
But looking at the current situation, these researchers will not leave here for a month or two, and the energy on the Blue Source Star will not be able to support that time.
"Tang Er, you have also participated in the construction process of the reactor, how likely is it to succeed from the results of your simulation experiments?" Liu Haoyu thought for a moment and then asked Tang Er.
"I simulated it with Charlie ten times, and each time it worked perfectly. However, this is only a simulation, and we take the theoretical properties of various materials. Tang Er said.
She also knew how dangerous this experiment was, and she also knew what Liu Haoyu's purpose was for her verification. But in terms of the success rate of this experiment, she did not dare to give any guarantee at all.
Even if the same batch of material is produced, there will be subtle differences in performance. All she and Charlie can simulate is the controllable energy released when the reactor is running. What if it goes over when it's actually running? What if these materials can't withstand the impact of these energies?
"Francis, the trial can't be delayed any longer. Just tonight, we're going to take the platform into the air. Remove all the people and let Tang Er and them control them. Liu Haoyu said.
"But in this case, if there is a small situation, we will not be able to repair it in time if we have no one on it." Francis said with a frown.
Although this operation can ensure the safety of personnel, no matter how powerful the artificial intelligence is, it is still worse than humans in manual operation. If there is a small negligence, human beings can go over and remedy it in time. But artificial intelligence can't, and they can't control some tools precisely.
For example, if the solder joint is missing, humans can go over and repair the weld in time. No matter where the solder joint is, we will find a way to get it right. But what if Tang Er was allowed to control it? Where the environment is not complicated, it is okay, you can let him control the welding machine to repair welding in the past, and if the environment is complicated, you can only watch dry.
Not only did he have to rebuild the reactor, but he also felt sorry for the repair platform.
"It's okay, as long as our people are safe." Liu Haoyu waved his hand and said.
The most fundamental thing is people, even if the experiment fails, the loss is at most money, but it can be transformed according to the feedback data. But if the people are gone, they have nowhere to find those technicians who can be trusted.
Liu Haoyu decided, and the matter was settled, and the experiment will be conducted tonight. This is the biggest thing on the Blue Source Star, and everyone spent the whole afternoon in tension and anticipation.
"I've got the ingredients ready, the experiment was successful, and we'll celebrate when we come back. If the experiment is unsuccessful, we will celebrate when we come back. Failure is a successful mother, even if we fail, we have found our mother, and we will always find the success of the baby in the future. When the maintenance platform was about to take off, Liu Haoyu looked at everyone and said.
"Our Blue Source Star will have an honor room in the future, and anyone who contributes to Blue Source Star will have his name engraved in the honor room, and you will be the first batch of people who can receive this honor."
These people in front of him are the builders of the entire reactor, and this is the first time Liu Haoyu has really met them, and he has basically been in contact with Francis before. They are all heroes of Blue Source Star, regardless of whether the experiment is successful or not.
These people don't show any particular agitation, and it's fair to say that they're more technophiles and don't express their feelings much. Now some people are able to silly play for a while, which shows that they are already happy.
"Francis, take off." Liu Haoyu said to Francis.
Francis nodded heavily. At this time, his heart was hot, as long as this experiment was successful, his name would be remembered by all the people of the Star Alliance in the future. Because this is a technological leap in energy use, it can be said to have broken through technical barriers.
Although Liu Haoyu and the others were very worried that the maintenance platform would attract a lot of attention after it was lifted, they were really careful, and no one cared why the maintenance platform would be lifted off. Someone saw it and spent three seconds asking themselves what they were doing. Their own answer is that they went to repair the ship.
It's supposed to be a maintenance platform, and the normal ones are flying, flying, repairing, and repairing in space. That is to say, the maintenance platform of Lanyuanxing is relatively alternative, and it has been stopped on Lanyuanxing.
Flying to the intended test location, all the personnel were evacuated in the spaceship.
"Francis, you personally give the activation order, and in the process of the experiment, Tang Er will completely obey your orders." Looking at the maintenance platform in front of him, which had shrunk many times, Liu Haoyu patted Francis on the shoulder and said.
Francis didn't have any ink either, just nodded vigorously with a tense face.
"Tang Er, listen to my command, the engine stops." Francis said to Tang Er.
"The engine is stopped." A minute later, Tang Er replied.
"The engine energy channel is closed, the reactor energy channel is closed, and the self-test is carried out." Francis continued to say with a blank face.
As soon as his voice fell, the screen of the small spacecraft showed the opening and closing status of each energy pipeline on the maintenance platform, and there was a long list of self-test data on the side.
"Start the reactor." It wasn't until all the data was displayed that Francis said in a trembling tone.
"Start the reactor." Tang Er repeated.
How long does it take to start the reactor? It's actually the time to press a button. It's faster than a second, and it's slower than two seconds.
It's such a short time, but everyone is holding their breath, staring at the reactor on the display.
As if I heard a "buzz" sound, the work indicator lights were lit up, and the reactor had begun to officially operate.
"Tang Er, the energy output of the reactor is controlled at 30%." Francis said, licking his somewhat dry lips.
The next step is to continuously increase the energy of the reactor to see if the reactor can operate normally when the energy output reaches 100%. Because it is not running at full capacity, I am afraid that there are some small faults that cannot be found.
"The reactor outputs 30% of its energy, and the current output energy level has reached 80,000 units." Tang Er's voice came.
"Run 10 percent at 10-minute intervals and 5 percent at 70 percent." Francis suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and continued to speak in a deep voice.
One of the advantages of reactors is the speed and stability of energy supply. At present, the new reactor has excellent indicators and fast response speed, and it has just been started, and it has only increased to 80,000 units of energy by only 30%.
The energy output of the reactor has increased again and again, and the output energy value has also been refreshed again and again. By the time the energy output percentage stayed at 80%, the energy output had climbed to 520,000.
What is the concept of this number? If measured by the original engine of the maintenance platform, this engine can output about 370,000 energy at most when it is running at full capacity. This can only be achieved if the fossil fuels are constantly filled. (To be continued.) )
