Chapter 90: The Problem
After removing all the obstacles, Lin Feng suddenly realized that he had overlooked a very important problem, that is, the speed difference between the two starships was too much, if he could not successfully transform the engine of the Atlantis to the level of the Wanhu, then I am afraid that he and Helen would disappoint the two captains. In any case, he will not be separated from Helen, even if he gives up the so-called future for this reason!
Seeing that Lin Feng suddenly fell silent, several people were a little surprised. The matter is almost a foregone conclusion, could it be that Lin Feng will do something to come out?
Coming back from his contemplation and seeing that several people were looking at him fixedly, Lin Feng smiled apologetically, said the question he had just thought of, and finally specially emphasized his idea of never separating from Helen.
Seeing Lin Feng's extremely serious face, Bruce and Chen Xinghan were stunned for a moment, and then laughed again. After laughing, Bruce said: "As the old saying goes, tigers also have times when they take naps, and Lin Feng, you genius also has times when you make fools!" ”
When Lin Feng saw them laughing, he knew that he was too worried. Also, the two captains are the best of the best, so they can't even think of such an important thing?
Lin Feng laughed a little self-deprecatingly, "I never said that I was a genius, on the contrary, my childhood intelligence test has just passed." So it's normal for me to be stupid sometimes. ”
"Then I'll call you a fool from now on, okay?" Helen said with a playful laugh.
"Don't, don't. It's a bit too earthy. You still call me Lin Feng, or Xiao Feng is fine. ”
"'Lin Feng'? It's too rusty, no! 'Xiaofeng'? This is the way your father and mother are called, I am not as old as you, so I call it like how old I am. By the way, I'll just call you 'Fengzi'. 'Fengzi'? Lunatic. Ha, that's what I call you! Seeing that you have such a crazy energy when you fight, it is appropriate to call it that. Helen thought about it in the past, and finally decided on a nickname for Lin Feng in the future. But I don't know that because of her whim, for a long time in the future, there is a legend about madmen in human society.
"Fengzi, madman, promise me!" Like a little girl who has found a novelty toy, Helen at this time seems very innocent, and she is obviously very satisfied with her masterpiece.
Lin Feng was now a black line on his head. It's not as nice as "stupid". However, if you think about it carefully, it is really appropriate, and there is a domineering spirit faintly revealed.
Seeing that the two of them were so intimate in front of the two elders, Chen Xinghan was very uncomfortable, and he coughed lightly, "Well, I said crazy......"
Everyone was stunned and laughed.
A small interlude enlivens the atmosphere at once. Chen Xinghan's embarrassment also disappeared invisibly in laughter, and he continued:
"Lin Feng, we have already considered your so-called worries just now. Now Manho's engine technologists are working the Atlantis to improve the engine's ability and achieve the speed of the Manho. In this way, the two starships can go straight to Proxima Centauri side by side. ”
"Of course, there will be technical difficulties to overcome, but I don't think it's that difficult. If it really doesn't work, I will modify the backup engine of the Wanhu to the Atlantis......"
Before Chen Xinghan finished speaking, he saw Bruce's smart watch light up. After connecting, it turned out to be a communication request from the engine technical experts of the Atlantis.
Bruce walked straight to the door and spoke with the expert. After more than ten minutes, I saw him come in with a gloomy face, sit on a chair, and silently fall into deep thought.
Seeing his face, several people had a bad feeling in their hearts. Sure enough, Bruce, who had been thinking about it for a long time, said a news that disappointed everyone, "The expert in charge of the engine modification project just now told me that the technical difficulty of the engine modification is too great, and there is almost no possibility of success. ”
"How so?" Several people asked in unison.
"First, there is a huge generation gap between the two technologies, and it is difficult to solve the gap of nearly 800 years at once; Second, the hull structure of the Atlantis cannot withstand such a large speed increase, and if it is forcibly modified, I am afraid that it will cause irreparable damage to the hull. ”
"And what if you use the Energy Shield technology?" Chen Xinghan asked on the side.
"That's a way to do it, too. But the problem is that this is too much energy consumption, and we don't just need to fly to Proxima Centauri, but to establish ourselves on new planets and survive. If the energy is exhausted, what about the early energy supply for the construction of a new planet? ”
Chen Xinghan also frowned, although the energy reserves of the Wanhu are sufficient, but the consumption is also large, and there is not much to support friendly ships.
For a while, the people who had just relaxed suddenly became heavy again. Thinking that they could greatly shorten the sailing time, but had to give up because of technical reasons, everyone was very depressed, especially Lin Feng and Helen, the gap between more than two hundred years and forty years was enough to make their hearts flutter.
Everyone knows that if the Atlantis can still only sail at 1,000 kilometers per second, the entire starship people, and even their next generation, will not be able to set foot on a new planet; And a five-fold increase in speed means that many of them can end this wandering life and set foot on solid ground. Such a temptation is enough to drive everyone crazy about it. However, with the current space, resources, and ecological bearing capacity of the Wanhu, it is impossible to abandon the Atlantis and let all the more than 500,000 people migrate to the Wanhu; Moreover, such a starship is a huge wealth for the entire pioneering cause, and it is not something that can be given up. So, the key or only way to solve the problem at the moment is to successfully rebuild the Atlantis's engine. Can ...... now
Just when the atmosphere was extremely dreary, the door was gently pushed open.
When the visitor saw two big people sitting in the ward, they thought they had entered the wrong room and were busy trying to leave.
However, Lin Feng was facing the door, and when he saw someone coming, he hurriedly shouted: "Dali, since you are here, come in." ”
The person who came was Chen Dali, who had been away for less than half a day, and when he heard Lin Feng's greeting, he hurried in, first stood up and saluted the two generals in an orderly manner, and then walked to Lin Feng's bedside.
Bruce was a little displeased, "Didn't you tell the guards not to let people in for two hours?" ”
"Grandpa, look at the time, it's been three hours." Helen said on the side, with a lot of complaint in her tone.
"Oh, it's been three hours? So we ...... Let's go first? Bruce looked at Chen Xinghan and asked for his opinion.
"The two captains, please stay first, my subordinates still want to report something to you." As soon as Chen Xinghan wanted to get up, he listened to the young man who had just arrived.
Bruce suddenly became interested, and sat down again. He wanted to hear what the little major had to say to him.
"That's right, a few hours ago, I just left from Lin Feng's place. Because Lin Feng provided me with an important information about the starship's engine, I thought to myself, this situation is so important, there is a great possibility that it can greatly improve the speed of the starship, so I hurried back to study it with technical experts. As a result, I didn't expect the person in charge to say that I was a little kid, I didn't understand anything, and I was a big-tailed wolf. Before I could finish speaking, they kicked me out. No, I can't find anyone to complain, so I'll come to you Lin Feng. ”
When Bruce and Chen Xinghan heard this, they immediately became interested.
"Oh, listen to your tone, it seems that you have studied starship engines quite a bit. But you're so young? Chen Xinghan didn't believe it at all, engine technology is a high-end field in the starship, and a twenty-year-old person dares to call out an old expert in this area, which is a bit of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers......
"He taught himself how to repair starship mechanics, and he got his advanced certificate in three years." In order to dispel Chen Xinghan's concerns, Lin Feng briefly introduced.
"Three years of self-study to get an advanced certificate!" Both were taken aback. This young man has some skills, and some serious college engineering graduates may not be able to do this.
"Tell me, then, what can you do? What are the chances of success? Bruce's tone became cautious.
"According to the information provided to me by Lin Feng, the escape ship can accelerate for a certain period of time and maintain a speed of 8,000 kilometers per second, of course, it may cause great damage to the engine for a long time, but this also shows that the current speed is not the limit that the starship can withstand. If we optimize the structure of the engine to a certain extent, such as adjusting some energy circuits, such as adding some cooling facilities, I believe that we can keep the starship at least 7,000 kilometers per second for a long time, which will greatly shorten our sailing time! Chen Dali patiently analyzed to the two captains.
"Do you really think so? How sure are you? Chen Xinghan's tone suddenly became urgent.
"I can't say how big it is, but I can give it a try."
"And what do you think of the Atlantis's current engine technology? The person in charge just told me that there is almost no chance that the engine will be successfully modified. As if seeing a glimmer of hope, Bruce stood up abruptly and looked at Chen Dali.
"The person in charge was too conservative in his thinking, and he didn't dare to perform major surgery on the engine at all, for fear of going wrong and taking responsibility. In my opinion, if the Atlantis can be modified with the Wanhu's backup engine, it will only be faster, and there is no danger. ”
Although Bruce was excited, he had not lost his composure, he looked at Chen Dali with suspicion, and said, "Young man, you can't talk too much. This is related to the lives of hundreds of thousands of people on the Atlantis, and there must be no leakage! ”
"I was born and raised on the Atlantis, and I have a deep affection for it. Moreover, Lin Feng knows me best, and he knows that I never do things that I am not sure of. Chen Dali replied quietly.
"Okay, I'll let you try! Is one month enough? After one, you come up with a transformation plan and give it to the technical department to evaluate. You have to be careful, this is related to Lin Feng's future and happiness for a lifetime! "Bruce is not suspicious of people, not suspicious people. Since Chen Dali is sure, let him try, if he can succeed, the time saved is not a small amount, maybe he can still hope to set foot on a solid land in this life! This is something I have never thought about in my life!
When Chen Dali heard this, he looked at Lin Feng suspiciously. How does this matter have anything to do with Lin Feng's future and happiness?
Lin Feng was helpless, and told Helen about his relationship with her in a gaze that seemed to be about to kill, and told him the news that the two were about to become captains.
After listening to Lin Feng's story, Chen Dali's mouth opened wide and he didn't close it for a long time.
"Wow, couple? Captain? Couple Captain? So exaggerated? Boss, you're so talented! My admiration for you is like the surging river......"
"Stop! Stop! Don't say those meaty words, okay? Lin Feng hurriedly stopped Chen Dali, joking, Helen's grandfather is still here, he can't let him see that he has such an unreliable brother.
"Don't worry, boss, even if I don't want this body of ribs, I have to get the plan out. Boss, I support you resolutely and thoroughly! Come on! ”
