Volume 2 Don't Mess With Me Chapter 137 Shocking Change (1)
The long distance is a huge obstacle to the development of the planet Titan.
Again, the key is the speed of the spacecraft.
Until now, the thrust gain of spacecraft still needs to be achieved through material recoil, and the most advanced thrust device is the high-energy particle accelerator, which can eject high-energy particles from the rocket's engine at close to sub-light speed, so as to obtain an extremely high thrust-to-weight ratio.
But the problem is that the high-energy acceleration device itself is extremely complex, and the weight of the device itself is considerable, which limits the possibility of the spacecraft to achieve ultra-high-speed flight.
After decades of exploration, mankind has successfully carried out rocket launch experiments on the moon. The moon launch rocket has significant advantages, because the gravity of the moon is much smaller than that of the earth, and the moon itself can be used to achieve the first cosmic speed of the favorable condition, which greatly improves the load ratio of the rocket launch, which creates the first step for human beings to launch large spacecraft into space.
The rocket that Jack the robot will board will weigh 1,000 tons, and if it were to be launched on the earth, the launch weight would reach an astonishing 33,000 tons according to the current most advanced rocket load ratio of 3 percent! This is not only a huge amount of work, but also the environmental damage caused by the launch is also unbearable for the earthlings.
Therefore, human beings have established a space base on the moon, and the equipment for assembling rockets is transported to the moon in small batches, and some rocket propellants can be taken locally on the moon, and even the light substances deuterium and tritium required by nuclear power reactors are very rich in the lunar sac.
After the super-heavy rocket is assembled, it only needs a small amount of recoil material to break free from the gravitational constraints of the moon and fly into space.
However, it is not enough to achieve the interstellar speed of flying to Titan. According to the current accepted view, if human beings want to develop Titan on a large scale, the time between the stars should not exceed 50 days at most, otherwise a large group of people will eat and drink on the spacecraft and become a huge problem.
According to this requirement, the speed that the Titan spacecraft needs to achieve must be 2 million kilometers per hour, which is 50 times the speed of the first universe! It is basically impossible to rely on the acceleration of the rocket itself to achieve this speed.
Later, the genius engineer of the Pale family, Witt Palai, came up with a bold idea, that is, to build a space acceleration ring device, through which the spacecraft in flight can be accelerated to the desired value.
After years of squabbling, Werther's proposal was finally accepted, and 15 years ago, people began to build a huge space acceleration ring in space.
This is a huge space project, according to the assumption, people need to build 17 space acceleration rings within 10 million kilometers from the moon, each with a diameter of more than 2 kilometers and a weight of 10,000 tons!
The acceleration ring uses a nuclear power unit to supply power in space, using superconducting technology to generate a strong electromagnetic field, and when the rocket passes through the acceleration ring, it produces a strong impetus to the gyratory acceleration ring device inside the rocket, so that the rocket can get 20%-30% speed, and finally the rocket can reach a speed of 3 million kilometers per hour through the acceleration ring, and the time to reach Titan is shortened to 16 days!
Due to the huge investment in the construction of the acceleration ring, it is difficult to complete it by governments alone, so private monopoly capital has also joined this huge plan, several giants such as the Osme family, the Palai family, the Suke Century Group and other financially powerful groups have invested hundreds of billions of dollars to participate in it, and the Zhu Group is of course not far behind, Zhu Shiyu's father Zhu Shanguo has invested more than 10 trillion US dollars in this acceleration ring project, for which he has borne great pressure.
After more than ten years of twists and turns, this unprecedented project has finally been completed, and mankind has established 17 super acceleration rings at the starting end of the lunar base.
According to the follow-up plan, mankind will successively launch super-heavyweight spacecraft to reach the planet Titan, where a complete industrial base will be established, and the reverse acceleration ring will continue to be built on the periphery of the planet Titan according to the model of the acceleration ring at the end of the moon, and a complete back-and-forth acceleration and deceleration system will be established between the moon and the planet Titan, so as to truly achieve the completeness of the spacecraft's launch and reception system.
Therefore, under the watchful eye, after Captain Jack made a declaration on behalf of the robot space team, the Columbus spacecraft was about to depart, and the importance that the old Zhu family attached to this maiden voyage can be imagined.
Zhu Shanguo of the old Zhu family personally sat at the launch command site, and here Zhu Liguo and Zhu Shiyu also guarded the broadcast TV scene and paid close attention to this major event.
Although the old Zhu family invested a huge amount of money in this project, their family also relied on the convenience of the main investor to contract all the energy supply business required by the project and made a lot of profits, so the follow-up progress of this project is also directly related to the main business project of the old ancestor family: energy supply.
However, just a few hours before this, an unexpected situation occurred, Zhu Shiyu's Blue Bay Club collected an important piece of information, they intercepted a confidential online letter, the content is about the Columbus spacecraft launch project, roughly meaning that in the process of exploring the planet Titan, the "pirate plan" will be implemented!
However, since the interception was an encrypted file, it would take a while to completely crack it, so what exactly was the pirate plan, what were the specific contents of the plan, and who was carrying out the pirate plan, Zhu Shiyu and the others still didn't know anything.
When the supercomputer of the Blue Bay Club was trying its best to crack the ciphertext, Zhu Shiyu wanted to pull Mordin, with his legendary experience of mixing with various forces in the robot group for many years, hoping to smell some conspiracy in it.
Because, after the rocket is launched, its fate is completely in the hands of the space piloting crew, and this time the space crew members are all served by intelligent robots!
Whether humans should serve as crew members of the maiden voyage or intelligent robots have been debated for a long time, each with its own reasons, and the biggest uncertainty is that for human beings, once the establishment of a base on Titan is not smooth, it is likely to cause the landers to be trapped on the planet Titan, and the return channel from the planet Titan has not yet been established, then these trapped personnel are likely to be sacrificed.
This is the greatest test of human interstellar travel.
The biggest controversy about robots as members of space crews is their reliability, or loyalty.
Because of the development of intelligent robot technology today, human beings are no longer 100% sure whether they can fully control these intelligent robots. If after these intelligent robot crew members arrive in outer space, due to the stimulation of some factors, they rebel against humans, then the consequences are unimaginable!
It's a very good thing!
Because these intelligent robots do not need to eat and sleep like humans, they only need to have enough energy supply, they can survive without time limit, once their "brains" are opened, whimsical ideas, want to drive a spacecraft, to outer space to play, it is not impossible, because after the acceleration of the acceleration of the spacecraft, its speed has far exceeded the speed of the third universe, flying out of the solar system, to explore the universe, is fully equipped with this condition.
After the debate, after weighing all aspects, several major funders still decided that intelligent robots should take on the task of driving spacecraft.
However, they have taken the so-called most secure measure imaginable, which is to set up a heavy security lock on the computer program of the intelligent robot system to try to prevent it from rebelling!
Does it really work?
Although the computer experts who set up the safety lock swear that it is 100% reliable, however, experts in the intelligent robot system around the world have been proposing the possible vulnerabilities of this security lock, and the Blue Bay Club is also one of them.
Later, the members of the project expert group had to accept the suggestion of the Blue Bay Club to fully adopt the intelligent robot mode of the Blue Bay Club, and change the security system that relies on software for protection to rely on the relevant hardware system for layer by layer protection, which is the so-called embedded intelligent computer system that Doyle Bronson explained on stage when Mordine participated in the Blue Bay Club party last time.
Just when they thought it was foolproof, they suddenly intercepted such a piece of information, which made Zhu Shiyu and them feel like they were facing a great enemy!
At this moment, Doyle Bronson personally sat in Blue Bay, closely monitoring the operation of the intelligent robot system, including Captain Jack, and Zhu Shiyu, who was upset by this information, simply avoided the suffocating surveillance environment and ran to this resort to find inspiration.
"Did you find anything?" asked Zhu Shiyu, looking away from Captain Jack and staring into Mordin's eyes.
"Just a little confused!" Mordin frowned.
"But I didn't see any problems. He added.
"What doubts, let's hear it!" Zhu Shiyu then asked.
"I can't say it, I always think this Captain Jack is a little weird!" Mordin stared at the Jack astronaut as he walked towards the spacecraft step by step.
"A little weird?" asked Zhu Shiyu puzzled.
"Captain Jack...... Hey, isn't it a bit weird in name?" Mordin suddenly came to his senses.
"Captain Jack is a pirate ship character in a novel, do I think it's a little weird because of that?" Mordin guessed.
"Hmph...... You've really read too many novels!" Zhu Shiyu sneered.
"What do you call the plan in the secret letter you intercepted?" Mordin asked, ignoring his sneer.
"'Pirate plan'!" Zhu Shiyu replied casually.
"Oh, yes, pirate plan, Captain Jack, Captain Jack is a pirate captain, and it really has something to do with you. Zhu Shiyu also fell into deep thought.
Mordin just smiled, he thought that if Zhu Shiyu speculated according to this line of thought, he would probably have a nervous disorder.
In the picture, Jack has already walked up the staircase of the spacecraft, and when he enters the spaceship, the moment he closes the hatch, he turns back to the camera and shows a weird smile!
Mordin was suddenly shocked by an electric shock, and he was shocked!
