On the second day of the shuttle experiment, the perfect calculation formula has been sorted out by many scientists, followed by the transfer of the existing energy circuit of the shuttle injury, installed somewhere on the fifth floor, and then the synthesis of more ruminants, and the extraction of the inventory of strong acid, and then the emergency gave birth to a batch of alien plants, soaked with strong acid, the initial stage, is to use one cubic millimeter of energy crystallization as an energy source.

In this room, a strange reactor with alien plants as the source of energy is arranged, and its fuel is energy crystals divided into extremely small particles.

Of course, such a small energy source is naturally impossible to supply the entire Hope spacecraft, and the energy required by the entire Hope spacecraft is extremely huge, almost equivalent to the energy consumption of a medium-sized city with a population of one million, after all, this is in space, the life support system, oxygen circulation system, power supply, energy consumption of various equipment, etc., although there are only more than 120,000 people, but the energy consumption is definitely comparable to the energy consumption of a medium-sized city with a population of one million.

According to the design of the energy circuit and conductor of the late scientist Allison, this small energy spar reactor is enough to create enough energy circuits in three days to replace the original energy of Hope, and can start storing energy for Hope.

This matter is naturally the most urgent thing at present, even Yao Yuan can't care about anything else, almost 24 hours outside the steel smelting room, every time a new energy circuit is produced, let the technicians and relevant scientists to arrange the various lines that have been set, so that with the more and more energy supply of the spar reactor, the metal smelting room from the initial utilization rate of one percent, to the later ten percent utilization rate, the production of more and more energy circuits, the hope to get more and more energy, In this snowballing cycle, it was not until the fifth day that Hope finally ran out of stored energy, during which time it began to use the energy provided by the hedron reactor.

Until this time, the energy in the Hope has finally reached a balance, the balance between the spar reactor and the energy consumption of the Hope, and the operation in the metal smelting room has not stopped, but this time the scientists have put forward an ambitious plan, they hope to build a large spar reactor on the fifth layer that can consume 500 cubic millimeters at a time, as a main energy pool for the Hope, which can withstand the consumption of space jumps and completely replace the old nuclear reactor.

You must know that in addition to the extremely large amount of energy required for space jumps, another key is that the amount of energy consumed per unit of time is extremely large, which is why the original Noah 1 will explode in the air, and then the Hope will be converted into three nuclear reactors, which is the reason.

The current small energy spar reactors can indeed bear all the energy consumption of the Hope, and some of them can be stored for emergency use, but relatively speaking, these spar reactors cannot withstand the space jump, and the amount of energy required to burst per unit time is too large, unless it is to build a large hedron reactor of 500 cubic millimeters as these scientists say.

However, when this large-scale energy circuit was still being manufactured, some chemical and biological scientists urgently called off this project, according to their calculations and analysis, the existing human technology is not up to standard, and it is impossible to make a strong acid solution with too high strength, that is, to reach the level of humoral acid in the body of the creatures on the desert planet, which cannot be done by the current level of human beings, and thus cannot suppress the large number of plant ruminants in the large spar reactor.

Because of this, the plan was later revised to convert the large spar reactor into three medium-sized hedron reactors of 100 cubic millimeters, which of course would not be sufficient to achieve the energy output per unit time of the spatial transition......

"In other words, can we maintain all of Hope's energy consumption normally at the moment, but not be able to achieve a spatial jump?"

Yao Yuan looked at the several scientists in front of him very depressed, and he looked at the data file in his hand, which listed in detail the output energy per unit time required for the space transition, and the current output energy per unit time that Hope can provide, the difference between the two is huge, unless it is to build a large spar reactor, otherwise Hope is really trapped in this star field.

Several scientists were also helpless.

When human beings are on the earth, they do not feel that various countries can develop slowly, although the earth's resources are limited, but it is not a problem for human beings to develop to the space stage, as long as they are out of space, and there are stable spacecraft navigation and mining equipment in space, then a large number of solar system stars, countless meteorite layers, these are all mineral resources, almost can be said to be inexhaustible.

And this, according to the current rate of scientific explosion of mankind, it will only take a hundred years at most to achieve.

But human beings have been forced into the universe, and it is still the scientific level of the twenty-first century, so it is really lacking everywhere, just the most basic metals, solution purity and other basic processes, all of which can not meet the various requirements of the universe, for example, here, if the scientific and technological level of human beings is slightly more developed, can produce strong acids that meet the requirements, then it can immediately make 500 cubic millimeters, or even 1,000 cubic millimeters of large super-large spar reactors, at that time any energy is not worried.

Xi Lewei also sighed and said: "There is really no way, because the large spar reactor of five hundred cubic millimeters, this is no longer what we can make with our current scientific and technological level, of course, science is advancing, if we are given another five years, no, three years of concentrated research, then we can try to make a large spar reactor of five hundred cubic millimeters, but now...... We really can't think about it. ”

Yao Yuan also knew this, but he sighed deeply, took out another document from the desk, and handed it to Xi Lewei, and Xi Lewei's face changed suddenly after reading it, and then handed it to a few scientists next to him, and after these scientists took the document, their faces also changed.

"You've all seen it, right? In fact, we were forced to flee from the earth, in search of the possible surnames of the billions of people who died in their lives, and to be honest, it is already a surprise of surprises to be able to get to this point and allow us to find alternatives to nuclear energy. ”

Yao Yuan took back this document, he said with a wry smile: "The living consumption of more than 120,000 people, the sixth layer of the ecological park is three-dimensional, the latest structure of the park, in addition to planting, there is also the breeding of carnivorous pigs and cattle, and because it is 24 hours of light, and it is the most optimized seed carefully selected by various countries, basically shortening the harvest period by one-third can be guaranteed, as long as there is no waste and luxury, and there is a completely sufficient energy supply, just in terms of food, it should be no problem to feed more than 120,000 people." ”

"But what about the others? For example, fertilizer, do you always use stored fertilizer? Where do you get the raw materials for synthesis? There are also the most important ruminants and strong acids in the hedron reactor, which are stored in storage, but what about the long term? Without raw materials to synthesize, there are no infinite materials on the Hope. ”

"Not to mention the two most basic things, water and oxygen, although there is the most complete water vapor and wastewater circulation system in the Hope, but after all, a very small part will be lost, and the same is true for oxygen, if there is no raw material, it is a little less, and there is no way to replenish it......"

Yao Yuan looked at the various data on the document, and he said worriedly: "Now there is no need to worry about the energy problem, according to the output of the energy spar per cubic millimeter you calculated, the energy spar of the Hope can support more than ten years, but the material problem is ...... At most, three years later, fertilizer will be the first thing to be consumed, because the raw materials will be used for the manufacture of strong acids and ruminants, and after that, oxygen and water will also be consumed...... Therefore, the calculation answer given by relevant experts is three and a half to four years, which is the maximum time limit for Hope to survive in the void. ”

Several scientists are silent, but they also understand these consumption, just as human beings have always wanted to make superconductors, can transmit electrical energy without loss, but have not been manufactured superconductors at room temperature, the existing conductors have electrical energy loss is a reason, any life-sustaining circulation system, whether it is water, oxygen, with the existing technology of human beings will have losses, and hope can also be said to be the highest technology embodiment of human beings, the loss is so small, this can be said to be an extremely fortunate thing.

However, as long as terrestrial planets or meteorite swarms are found, then Hope will no longer have to worry about these losses.

As long as the radioactive material can be found, then the nuclear reactor can be restarted, so that the space jump can be operated, and then in those meteorite materials, there are many substances containing oxygen elements, as well as hydrogen elements, only need to give up energy, then water can be synthesized from it, and all kinds of elemental materials required by chemical agents can actually be obtained from it, so, one is energy, the other is matter, this is the lifeline of Hope, as long as there are these two, as long as there is no major cosmic disaster, Then the Hope really has hope to survive in space all the time.

After all, the Hope is so large, carrying more than 120,000 people, which is the first step to ensure the diversity of human genes, to ensure the most basic needs of reproduction, and there are scholars, scientists, etc., and the Hope Central Computer records almost all the knowledge of human beings, which ensures that the knowledge system is passed on from generation to generation, so that the fire of civilization will not be extinguished......

"So, let's pray together."

Yao Yuan put down the papers, he looked at the window outside the captain's room, there was a sea of dim blue nebula matter, he muttered.

"Pray that this nebula has condensed to its limit, and its scope is actually very small, so that Hope can fly out of this area in less than three years, and ensure that this area is within the confines of a star system...... Didn't you say that the blue light was a sign that there was a star nearby? ”

"Let's pray to see the black, the dark space of the universe, although black often represents despair and death, but at this moment, leaving this nebula material space, darkness is our hope!"
