Chapter 28: Asteroid Redirection Program
Ruan Lin began to draw the engineering drawings of the capsule, he set the capsule in the shape of an ordinary funnel, the front is the connector, the funnel container is set to a radius of 115km, and the slender mouth at the front is the interface used to connect the Titan.
Ruan Lin reflected: "This should not be designed to be a one-off, we still need to capture more asteroids, the raw materials required for the manufacture of comet-class spacecraft are very terrifying, and now the fuel required by the Titan can be described as inexhaustible, and there is no need to worry about fuel consumption back and forth." ”
In Ruan Lin's vision, the Titan must first sail to the established orbit of the Lingshenxing, and the WIT calculates the capture distance and the capture angle and altitude of the capsule, and quietly waits for the Lingshen to enter.
In other words, the back of the funnel cannot be open, it must be closed immediately after the capture is successful, which requires an additional design of a funnel door and switch system.
This kind of conceptual framework on the earth is already mature, and Ruan Lin only needs to draw out his own improved scheme.
Ruan Lin stopped writing: "The capture capsule has been designed, wit, and it will be up to you to build and install it behind the Titan." ”
The use of raw materials also made Ruan Lin think about it, he decided to use light stainless steel, which is the material left in the inventory, and it has to be mixed with other materials to meet the production needs, the radius of 115km is an extremely terrifying amount, the Soviet artificial MiG-25 in the earth period is the use of light stainless steel materials, and they have to improve the light stainless steel in the inventory in order to save more raw materials.
After 92 days and nights of non-stop work by all the robots, this behemoth with a radius of 115 km at its widest point appeared on Europa's surface, and its overall funnel was only a thin layer of light stainless steel, which was attached 900 meters directly behind the Titan.
This is a mission that humans dare not imagine, and it is also the first step for Ruan Lin to implement the capture of asteroids.
Ruan Lin spread the engineering drawings on the table and said, "WIT, this plan will be carried out by you alone, and I will sometimes transfer my consciousness back to the quantum computer to watch this plan later." ”
"Okay, Dr. Nguyen. You won't be disappointed with the results of this program. Wit affirmed.
Ruan Lin is back to the controlled nuclear fusion research base, and he plans to refine kinetic and energy weapons research along the way.
Ruan Lin turned his head and looked at the Titan: the Titan had completed its controlled nuclear fusion reaction, and a stream of pure white plasma fire tens of meters long erupted from its tail. Because Europa has a trace amount of oxygen on the entire planet, this has also become a medium for the transmission of sound, even if it is five hundred meters away from the Titan, you can hear the roar of the Titan's engine, unlike usual, the Titan is also dragging the capture capsule on the ground behind it, with a radius of 115 kilometers, in Ruan Lin's opinion, it is simply a behemoth beyond imagination, which gives him a great visual impact. In the next second, the Titan began to climb upward, dragging the capture capsule behind it and disappearing in front of it at a great speed.
"The visual impact of giant objects on intelligent life is truly incomparable! If one day I can build a ship of this magnitude, it will only be for the sake of force. ”
Ruan Lin shook his head and walked into the research base.
Ruan Lin decided to conquer the basic laser tactical weapons first, and after earth-related research and retrieval, the laser weapons used in this kind of universe actually had a prototype 20 years ago, and all he needed to do was to further improve it.
In space, there is basically no field advantage, from the Titan civilization war video, it can be known that the only target is only the enemy's ships and buildings, both sides did not carry out any complex arrangement before the battle, when the approach distance is about the same, it is the combat ships of both sides to fly out together, quickly tearing any enemy target in front of you.
This is similar to an air battle on Earth, where the key to victory is the damage and range of the ship's weapons, as well as the speed of the ship and the combat skills of the operator.
And Ruan Lin has a natural advantage in this convenience, he and WIT can use quantum computers to manipulate all ships, simulate any possible combat situation, and let the performance of all ships reach the peak, which is a height that ordinary intelligent civilizations cannot reach.
There is no atmosphere in space, and the recoil generated by each attack will directly accelerate the ship, and unless the opposite force acts again, the ship in battle will always float into the depths of space. For ordinary kinetic weapons, a few simple attacks may be acceptable, but if you use a kinetic weapon with a very high rate of fire, this is equivalent to injuring the enemy by 1,000 and losing 800, and the direction and speed must be calibrated later, which also requires a part of the computing power.
Compared to ordinary kinetic weapons, lasers are massless attacks, and firing lasers will basically not produce recoil. At the same power, the larger the laser lens, the more powerful the laser weapon will be.
Ruan Lin first drew a rough draft of the project, and then improved it based on the Titan and the two comet-class destroyers that needed to be built in the future.
At this time, it was 62 hours after the Titan took off, Ruan Lin stopped the pen in his hand, some data had to be used by a quantum computer, and he was ready to upload his consciousness back into the quantum computer.
Psyche is about 230 million kilometers away from Europa, and it will take an hour to reach Titan's speed, which is just the right time to observe the capture of Psyche from the first perspective.
Psychia is located in the main asteroid belt between Jupiter and Mars, and the mass of Psychia accounts for 0.6% of the entire asteroid main belt, which can be observed even from a long distance.
"I'm back, wit. Report on how well it is planned now. ”
Wit replied: "The current speed of the Spirit is 24km/s, and the estimated speed is 24.2km/s when it is closest to the capsule, the established orbit has been reached, and the flight speed of the Titan is currently 30km/s, so that the capsule is behind the Titan, and when it approaches a certain distance, the Titan will gradually slow down, and then stabilize the capsule." ”
"Originally, at this distance, you could still observe the Earth and the Moon..."Ruan Lin did not continue.
After the Earth and Moon were torn into countless pieces, the neutron star disappeared as if it had never been. But the debris in the main planetary belt will forever tell the story of their misery.
Ruan Lin suddenly felt sad: "The Titan civilization mentioned rule weapons before, if my understanding is correct, the so-called rule weapons are weapons that can change and affect the rules of the environment in the multiverse!" In other words, the damned Zero-Returning civilization used a rule weapon to change the speed of light in the universe and teleported Calvera to the solar system. Just to satisfy their hunting desires? ”
