Chapter 20 Technological Breakthroughs
This is the first time Xiao Yu has made a hydrogen bomb, and it is also the first time Xiao Yu has seen a hydrogen bomb explode. Although Xiao Yu had been mentally prepared early on, such an earth-shaking scene still made Xiao Yu stunned and speechless.
At the moment of the explosion, at the main base a thousand kilometers away, Xiao Yu observed seismic waves equivalent to a magnitude 4 earthquake. At Base 3, seismic waves equivalent to magnitude 7 earthquakes were observed.
Fortunately, Xiao Yu's factory buildings and buildings are all made of pure steel, and the magnitude 7 earthquake has not affected them too much. At most, some machinery is not fixed well, and it is only damaged a little, and it can be repaired and can be used again.
The explosion formed a huge storm that swept over a distance of several tens of kilometers and came to Base Three. Fortunately, Xiao Yu had been prepared and moved all the movable machinery to the fixed plant, and these storms did not affect Xiao Yu in any way. At most, it blows a layer of sand off the ground and makes rare earth mining easier.
When the storm passed, Xiao Yu saw the corpses of insects in front of him, which were blown by the wind and scattered everywhere, and immediately, Xiao Yu's eyes began to glow.
"These are all gifts from God." If Xiao Yu still had hands, Xiao Yu's hands would definitely tremble.
Just before the explosion of the hydrogen bomb, Xiao Yu was still angry, angry at how many of these bugs were killed endlessly, but now, he hoped that there would be more of these bugs, the more the better.
These days, Xiao Yu has completely analyzed the various physical characteristics of the insect corpse. They were found to be surprisingly resistant to radiation and high temperatures!
The average thickness of the bodies of these insects is only 0.1 millimeter, but even with such a thickness, their radiation protection ability is equivalent to the entire radiation protection layer on Xiao Yu's old spaceship. Moreover, even the flamethrower gun's thousands of degrees of heat could not burn their corpses.
"Just collect them...... As long as they are collected and made into a radiation protection layer and a thermal insulation layer, I am afraid that even the radiation intensity and heat of a million kilometers of the sun will not be able to help me. Xiao Yu laughed.
"Well, immediately increase the number three bases, this time, we have to develop some robots that specialize in collecting insect corpses." Xiao Yu immediately made up his mind.
"By the way, I wonder if the rest of the lakes have such black bugs?" At this moment, a thought popped up in Xiao Yu's mind.
Anyway, on Titan, Xiao Yu is not worried about destroying the ecological environment or anything like that. Joke, on Titan, is there an ecological environment? Even if there is, it belongs to those insects, and it is none of Xiao Yu's business. Killing them will not bring any psychological burden to Xiao Yu.
It began to rain in the sky. Xiao Yu calculated a little, and immediately understood. This is due to the evaporation of Lake No. 2 and the formation of a large number of rain clouds over this place.
The pouring rain was pouring down, Xiao Yu suddenly became embarrassed, and hurriedly commanded all the robots to retreat into the factory to avoid the rain. But the next moment, a question caught Xiao Yu's attention.
Before Base Three, a large number of insect corpses were washed away by the torrent caused by the rain. Because Lake No. 2 is relatively low, these liquids actually flow in the direction of Lake No. 2. It seems that there is a strong tendency to continue to fill up Lake No. 2.
Xiao Yu suddenly scolded: "Lao Tzu worked hard to empty the No. 2 lake, and he hasn't collected the fruits of his labor, will it be empty in the end?" No, you have to think of a way. ”
If Lake No. 2 had liquid methane again, Xiao Yu's work of collecting insect corpses would be much more difficult. And even if you think about it with your butt, you can figure out that there must be a huge number of insect corpses waiting for Xiao Yu in the No. 2 Lake that was blown up. These are extremely valuable resources, and Xiao Yu is not willing to waste them.
"Damn, you wait for me." Xiao Yu muttered to himself, the powerful photonic computer only calculated for three seconds, and a jihua appeared, and it only took two seconds to pass the three thousand seven hundred feasibility tests. Xiao Yu immediately decided to take this jihua.
Stop the rain near Base Three! Prevent Lake No. 2 from refilling.
At the main base, countless robots were busy, and the water of the Weilan Lake was collected in large quantities, and together with liquid oxygen, it was made into high-pressure incendiary bombs, and the Fengshen No. 1 helicopter quickly took off, and with these incendiary bombs, it flew to the rear of the No. 2 lake fifty kilometers.
It is a desolate wilderness, with no veins, no mountains, no lakes. It was here that Xiao Yu threw one incendiary bomb after another.
As soon as the incendiary bomb touched the ground, it immediately burst into flames under the support of liquid oxygen, and a large area of flames rose up, almost covering the ground in a radius of several kilometers. An infinite amount of air is heated and then rises. The large amount of hot air almost made the Fengshen 1 helicopter unstable. Xiao Yu hurriedly manipulated the Fengshen No. 1 helicopter to throw the remaining incendiary bombs down one by one, and quickly fled.
It is common knowledge that when the air is heated, it will become lighter and rise. Xiao Yu planned to use this common sense to block the rain at the No. 3 base and the No. 2 lake, and prevent them from destroying the fruits of their labor.
Under the action of the laws of physics, the fire here immediately caused a chain reaction. A large amount of hot air is heated up, and the air pressure in this area immediately becomes negative. As a result, the surrounding cold air immediately poured in, filling the empty space here. But the cold air was immediately heated up and continued to rise, so the surrounding cold air continued to rush in to replenish it......
The sea of fire caused by Xiao Yu triggered a violent air movement. And once the air flows, it will form a wind, and the wind, in turn, will blow the clouds over.
Without clouds, where is the rain?
This is Xiao Yu's whole jihua.
Observing the flow of air, Xiao Yu was greatly encouraged.
"However, the burning area here is not large enough, and the fire will be extinguished in another twenty minutes." Xiao Yu thought about it, manipulated the Fengshen No. 1 to return to the base, loaded a huge amount of incendiary bombs, and returned here.
There is already a strong wind blowing here, but Fengshen 1 has superior performance, and I don't know how much stronger it is than the helicopter on the earth, so naturally I will not be afraid of this bit of wind.
The gourd was drawn and the incendiary bomb was thrown, and Xiao Yu continued to return and continue to come back...... It went on for five hours.
At base three, the wind direction detector reported good news.
Here, the wind has already begun to blow, and the wind is still increasing. Moreover, as Xiao Yu expected, the wind direction was indeed towards the burning area.
"Good, good." Xiao Yu watched the rain gradually decrease until it stopped completely, and his heart was full of pride.
"It is estimated that some liquid methane has accumulated in Lake 2, but it should not be much. If it's out of the way, just keep them and use them as a fuel source for Base Three. ”
Xiao Yu made up his mind.
The robot production line has already started to be at full capacity. This time, it is a vacuum cleaner-type robot. These tiny insect carcasses are really difficult to get by traditional collection methods. Deal with them with a vacuum cleaner robot, just right.
Three days later, the first batch of fifty manufactured vacuum cleaner robots arrived at their destination.
Xiao Yu commanded these robots to immediately go out to collect the corpses of insects. Behind each robot is a large machine that is responsible for loading the insect carcasses collected by the robot vacuum cleaner and refueling the robot vacuum cleaner. In this way, the vacuum cleaner robot can continue to work for a long time without having to return to the base every once in a while, which greatly improves efficiency.
The robots carry a giant package on their backs and two large vacuum cleaners on their arms. As long as it is swept on the ground, the corpses of insects that fall on the ground will be sucked in with dust, and then stored in a package. When the parcel is full, they transfer the contents of the parcel to a large loading machine.
At the same time as the collection of insect corpses was launched, the construction of Base 3 was also restarted. With the continuous supply of materials from the main base, the construction of the No. 3 base is in full swing, and even rare earth products have begun to be produced.
Xiao Yu estimates that in just three days, rare earth production will be on track. At that time, a major bottleneck restricting Xiao Yu's development will disappear.
Under the control of Xiao Yu's huge computing power, everything went in an orderly manner. The matter of the No. 3 base came to an end for the time being, and Xiao Yu began to plan for the construction of the No. 4 base and the No. 5 base.
Each of these bases will have different responsibilities. Some are mainly responsible for producing silicon, some are mainly responsible for producing aluminum, some are mainly responsible for producing gold, and so on. The raw materials produced by them will be gathered together in the main base, and will be turned into components after various smelting, processing, casting and other processes.
These components will become interstellar spaceships, taking Xiao Yu to embark on a great interstellar voyage.
At the same time, the large-scale investigation of insects is also in full swing. After this period of construction, Xiao Yu gradually felt that only one helicopter of Fengshen No. 1 was not enough, so Xiao Yu did not hesitate to start the construction of Fengshen No. 2 and Fengshen No. 3.
The Fengshen 1 helicopter surveyed all the methane lakes on Titan that were more than one hectare in size, and installed heat sources next to each methane lake, so that as long as there were black bugs in the lake, they would be attracted by these heat sources, and then Xiao Yu would find out. Then, Xiao Yu will decide whether to launch a hydrogen bomb strike depending on its value.
The ecology on Titan, the destruction will be destroyed, anyway, there are no intelligent creatures on Titan, and a large number of hydrogen bombs will not affect Xiao Yu himself.
Large-scale construction of Titan is in full swing. At the same time, there was good news from Research Institute 2, the Controlled Nuclear Fusion Laboratory.
Controlled nuclear fusion research, there has been a huge jishu breakthrough.
