Chapter 176: The Return

After the entire spaceship was inspected, Chu Jungui looked at the huge metal barrel and asked, "What are we going to do with this big guy?"

Li Ruobai was also stunned, how could there be space for this huge space jumping device on the current spaceship? How to deal with this huge barrel with a diameter of nearly ten meters was really troublesome.

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Ruobai didn't come up with a reason, and said with a headache: "What do you think?"

"Just use it, just a jump anyway. It's all made of permanent magnet materials, right? It's not cheap to recycle. Subject thinks in his usual light.

"That's right. Li Ruobai also figured it out. However, he was still a little puzzled and did not know where to place the large round barrel. The existing ship is not big enough at all, and if you want to stuff this barrel into it, the renovation project will be much different from building a new one.

"It's simple, just weld it to our spaceship. ”

"What do you say?

"yes, just like those rocket boosters. ”

A pattern immediately appeared in Li Ruobai's mind, and a large bucket was attached to the spaceship, which was originally a cylinder...... This pattern immediately caused an onset of obsessive-compulsive disorder, but to achieve symmetry, it seems that a large bucket will need to be attached in a circle......

"If you think it's okay, then do it. However, the new ship will have to carry more people and more supplies, and the one we have now is not big enough. ”

The subject then establishes a task and attempts to solve it. The question was surprisingly easy, and in the blink of an eye there was an answer: "We can make an identical ship capsule and put the two together." ”

"How to spell?" Li Ruobai had an ominous premonition.

"You can spell it any way, side by side, or front and back, if you want, a criss-cross is fine. ”

"I don't want to!" As soon as the words came out, Li Ruobai remembered that only the cross seemed to be more symmetrical, but it was not much better.

After calming down, Li Ruobai asked, "Why do you design it like this?"

"Hassle-free, cheap. ”

"We don't have to think about the cost. ”

"Time is cost. ”

Chu Jungui's words made Li Ruobai have nothing to say, and the day is here.

The two of them got out of the spaceship, connected with the team members outside, and began to design a dismantling plan. At this time, the drones that were released had already returned one after another, bringing back a lot of useful data. The good news is that most of the resources needed are available in the surrounding area, and even if they don't, they can be dismantled from the ship's wreckage.

The next step is to assign tasks, and the four of them need to refine enough fusion fuel, as well as prepare a large amount of rocket fuel and assemble multiple rocket engines in order to bring back the space jump fuel tank.

The task seemed to be very heavy, so the four of them took a brief break and got to work.

Chu Jungui drove an off-road vehicle out of the camp, this time carrying an excavation module. He drove to the mine detected by the drone, preparing to collect fusion fuel.

It is a wilderness with patches of reddish-brown soil. However, the composition of the soil here is completely different from that of the home planet.

Chu Jungui stopped the off-road vehicle and used a personal terminal remote control probe to dig the ground and analyze the composition. He himself picked up a hand-held drill rig and began drilling from place to place on the surface for inspection and compositional analysis.

The content of helium-3 in the soil is quite high, so Chu Jungui took down a refining furnace from the car, placed it on the ground, and then connected the refining furnace to the energy source of the off-road vehicle. He puts the excavated soil into a refining furnace, where it is heated and then goes through a series of processes to separate the helium-3.

The content of helium-3 on this planet is extremely high, and Chu Jungui has continuously processed dozens of furnaces to obtain a whole cylinder of helium-3.

He put the cylinders on a special condensing processor, started the condenser, and continued to dig and send it to the refining furnace.

In the blink of an eye, an hour passed, and Chu Jungui continuously refined thirty furnaces at the rate of one furnace in 2 minutes, and obtained a cylinder of helium-3. By this time, the first cylinder of helium-3 had been processed and successfully pressed into a fuel box the size of a shoebox, and the box was only about a quarter full.

This box will be filled with a full half kilogram of helium-3. This is not a small number, and in the era of the home planet, it was said that the world's total energy demand for a year would not consume more than 1,000 kilograms of helium-3.

Chu Jungui worked hard until he filled the entire energy box and looked at the time, and four hours had passed. Only the subject can endure such a long period of repetitive work without getting bored or bored.

In fact, Chu Jungui has lived a very fulfilling time in the past few hours, he has been assigned a processing unit to be responsible for directing the body to work, and the rest of the computing power is continuing to optimize his combat components.

The fuel box was full, and Chu Jun returned and embarked on the return journey. This fuel cartridge is not something that can be made casually, and can only be made at Planet 2. They only brought a total of four over this time, but they didn't expect Chu Jun to get a box in one trip.

After a while, Chu Jungui packed up his equipment and set up a car to return, leaving a place full of potholes, probably Li Ruobai would have a headache when he saw it. Anyway, Chu Jungui took a lot of photos, and he was going to send them to Li Ruobai's personal terminal as soon as he went back.

Li Ruobai and the three of them were not slow this time. With the example of Chu Jungui, they also learned to omit all unnecessary steps and work straightforwardly. When Chu Jungui returned, four metal barrels had been erected around the camp, which were new rocket engine shells, all alloyed from the wreckage of the 151 expedition spacecraft.

Li Ruobai rerefined the dismembered wreckage and turned it into raw materials for rocket engines. Anyway, if you want to take out the space jump device with the E substance, you have to make a big hole in the shipwreckage.

In this way, the four of them worked hard day by day, until they filled all the four fuel boxes and filled the spacecraft fusion ion engine with fuel by the way, Chu Jungui joined the ranks of the three and began to assemble the rocket engine.

After a few more days, four new rocket engines have been assembled, and the space jumping device has been disassembled and welded to the spacecraft. The original spacecraft could only be stuffed with seven rocket boosters, so Chu Jungui tied the two boosters into one and stuffed them directly into the empty seat, as for the protruding piece, there was no sense of disobedience in the eyes of the test subject.

Then add a fairing to that space-hopping device, and you're done.

The next day, a full eight rocket boosters erupted at the same time, and the billowing smoke formed a small spectacle on the planet, and the faint blue light of the ion engine was completely obscured by comparison.

After eight days on Planet One, the four set out on their way home.

This time, Li Ruobai said that he would not enter the box bedroom again, so he stayed in the cab with Chu Jungui. It's just that on the third day, he couldn't resist the boredom of the long journey, especially Chu Jungui's reply. As long as he didn't take the initiative to speak, Chu Jungui would be silent all day long, staring out the window in a daze.

Li Ruobai also didn't understand what was so beautiful about these starry skies that he was used to.
