Chapter 50: The Red Haze That Is About to Explode

"These two ways ......"

As an astronaut, Yang Meng naturally knows the advantages and disadvantages of these two launch methods.

First, the way of fuel propulsion is traditional rocket technology.

This technique was very mature, long before his grandfather,

With a year's income from a medium-sized country, humans forcibly sent humans to the moon with high-thrust rockets.

And although heavy elements are scarce on this planet,

But the acquisition of fuel raw materials for rockets is not troublesome,

A lot of liquefied or solidified fuels can be precipitated directly in the atmosphere of this planet.

As for the heavy elements required for the thrusters, the outer protective layer of the ship can also be dismantled for recycling.

In general,

With the current human science and technology, the use of advanced three-dimensional printing technology to make rockets is both time-saving and labor-saving.

But this mature technology is somewhat unsuitable for the current situation,

What Yang Meng hopes is to send more spacecraft into space.

Directly use the thruster to send the core module up,

But the enormous heat generated by the tail of the rocket apparently has an effect on the rest of the spacecraft.

"Do you want to add an arson insulation layer to the other parts?"

Yang Meng groaned for a moment, and shook his head silently, if it was on a resource-rich planet, he might carry out such a plan,

But on this resource-poor planet Rutan B,

The time to make fireproof and thermal insulation materials was enough for him to fill the electric energy of the electric bomb!

Thinking of the question of electric bombs, Yang Meng asked Xiao Yi again:

"How much is the bomb charged?"

"20% charged"

"20%!"

"It's still that slow!"

From the successful ignition of the fusion furnace, Yang Meng printed the charging component of the electromagnetic catapult early.

But even so, there is still not enough time to recharge.

Yang Meng also has an understanding of electromagnetic catapult,

This technology is not very new.

As early as his grandfather's time, electromagnetic catapult technology began to be applied to aircraft carriers, electromagnetic guns, etc.,

At that time, electromagnetic technology sounded very sci-fi.

It has been studied by every country on the planet.

However, with the passage of time, mankind has gradually discovered that although electromagnetic catapult technology has many incomparable advantages,

However, after mankind has the signs of an energy crisis, the huge shortcomings of electromagnetic catapult technology have also been revealed.

That's extremely energy-intensive.

That is, if a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier wants to use electromagnetic catapult technology to eject the aircraft, it will still be limited by electricity.

Fortunately, this limitation, with the breakthrough of nuclear fusion technology, disappears,

The great advantages of electromagnetic catapult are only then revealed,

With a sufficient supply of electricity,

Electromagnetic catapult technology can accelerate the ejected apparatus at a terrifying speed,

However, there are some small problems with electromagnetic catapults,

That is, the greater the mass of the ejected object,

The more energy you need to store,

As the core component of the Boundless Orient, the core module has its own quality, which can be said to be among the best among the various components of the spacecraft.

At this time, Yang Meng looked at the bright silver core cabin,

looked at the other side, the improvised rocket launcher that had sent the satellite up before,

Something suddenly occurred to him. Asked Xiao Yi:

"With the current charge, how high can the core module eject?"

"Taking into account the mass and mechanical structure of the core module, it can be ejected to a height of 23 meters!"

"23 meters!"

"It should be enough!"

"Xiao Yi, if the protective layers of each part of the spacecraft are adjusted to the direction of the rocket tail flame jet,

Then use the catapult to eject the core module to a certain height and ignite it!

What do you think of such a solution? ”

"Simulating!"

"It can be implemented, but because of the limitations of the frame structure,

Some parts can't adjust the steering,

Need to add a little more fireproof material! ”

Hearing Xiao Yi's mock answer, Yang Meng nodded slightly,

"If it's feasible, then follow this plan!"

With Yang Meng's instructions,

The original frame structure that supported the spaceship has a new change.

Thanks to the various equipment in the spaceship, in order to adapt to the changing cosmic environment, they are all fixed in a non-directional direction, and it is okay to rotate it.

Coupled with the fact that electromagnetic catapult and rocket technology are very mature, Yang Meng's plan is going very smoothly.

It took less than a day to complete all the preparations.

Over the course of the day,

Xiaoguang came back a few times,

kept urging Yang Meng, because the red mist spread faster,

As for the red haze, the detection satellites launched in the past few days have also found some anomalies.

Although there is a thick cloud cover,

However, through some detection techniques, it was still found that there was an abnormal energy reaction under the clouds.

And this kind of energy reaction also appeared around the desert where Yang Meng was, and these energy areas were moving towards him.

According to Xiao Yi's calculations, the time for this anomalous energy area to spread here is equal to the time when the red haze arrived.

Therefore, it is also certain that this strange energy reaction is most likely red haze:

"So it looks like time is running out!"

Yang Meng closed the comparison of satellite images in his field of vision and looked at the core module launch device that had been prepared.

"It's time to launch!"

"Xiao Yi checks the launcher one last time!"

"Yes, the final self-check is underway!"

While waiting for Xiao Yi to conduct a self-test,

Xiaoguang floated back again, and at this time, Xiaoguang's emotions were no longer as calm as before,

In the process of communicating with Yang Meng, there was a little worry and anxiety:

"I didn't expect the red mist to spread so badly,

If this continues, it is likely to reach the level of qualitative change in the environment! ”

"Environmental qualitative change?"

"What's that?"

Seeing Xiaoguang mention this word for the first time, Yang Meng couldn't help but ask more.

"A single environment, a single species outbreak can have a huge impact on the environment,

This kind of thing has happened many times in our world,

That's right! It's happened on your planet! ”

"Our Planet ......"

Xiaoguang's answer reminded Yang Meng of something,

Although human beings cannot directly travel back in time to see what the earth was like hundreds of millions of years ago,

But through the ancient strata buried deep underground, geological surveys,

the study of paleontology, archaea, and even ancient ice beneath the Antarctic ice sheet,

It is possible to further judge the ecological environment of the earth in ancient times,

Like the oxygen that human beings depend on for survival,

In the 4.5 billion years of Earth's history, it did not exist in the atmosphere in constant proportions.

Rather, it is largely influenced by the life of the earth.

Like in early history, the oxygen content of the Earth's atmosphere was extremely scarce,

But with the outbreak of cyanobacteria, the oxygen levels of the planet have risen dramatically,

After entering the Peaty Period, with the wild growth of plants, the oxygen content of the earth reached 34% at one point

These are all examples of the tremendous impact that living beings have on the environment of a planet.

And now, according to Xiaoguang's judgment, the red haze has the possibility of developing towards this trend!

"And what will the Red Haze do to the planet?"
