Manumi, the manager of the Mada Island Satellite Manufacturing Company, is a Tianzhu man who speaks more chatteringly.

gave Li Qingye a detailed introduction to the design scheme of the Dead Light Satellite 2, as well as some of their company's unique designs.

After all, it is rare for the chairman to come once, and of course he can't drop the chain.

Manumi pointed to a miniature model more than one meter high: "Chairman, this is our design department, and the universal steering system designed by ourselves can make the death light cannon turn quickly." ”

In fact, this system is like two spheres together, with the outer sphere with a diameter of 10 meters and the sphere with a diameter of 9.2 meters inside.

And that inner sphere is the core component of the Deathlight Cannon, and there are five cobalt rod cluster nests inside, with a total of 5 tons of cobalt 60.

In addition, in the inner sphere, there is a lead-silicon-aluminum composite protective layer with a thickness of 15 cm (150 tons), a thermal energy absorption layer (48 tons), a three-layer composite temperature difference power generation system (72 tons), plus a high-strength support shell and other auxiliary systems, and the weight of the entire inner sphere is 372 tons.

And the outer sphere, due to the need to be equipped with protective armor, also weighed 183 tons.

Manumi then pointed to the cylindrical compartment under the sphere: "This part is the auxiliary compartment of the satellite, which contains 5 EFI thrusters, 1 artificial magnetic field generator, cobalt rod quick change system, fuel reserve, capture robotic arm, garbage collection system and protective armor, weighing 445 tons. ”

"Robotic arm? Garbage collection system? Li Qingye was a little curious about these two devices.

Manumi quickly explained: "Chairman, this is also our company's unique design ......"

After Manumi's explanation, Li Qingye understood the reason why they designed it this way.

The cobalt rods of Dead Light Satellite 2 contain 5 tons of cobalt-60, and its maximum power generation is 94 megawatts.

Perhaps many people have no idea about the power generation of 94 megawatts.

But just compare the nuclear reactors of the Miniz-class aircraft carriers to know that the effective power of the two nuclear reactions of the Miniz aircraft carriers is only 194 megawatts at the highest, and the single reactor is 97 megawatts.

In other words, the maximum power generation of the Dead Light Satellite 2 is almost the same as that of the single-core reactor of the Miniz-class aircraft carrier.

The reason for this situation is actually related to the thermal efficiency of the nuclear equipment of both sides.

You must know that the thermal power of the single-core reactor of the Miniz-class aircraft carrier is 600 megawatts, but the effective power is only 97 megawatts, and the thermal efficiency is 16%.

The thermal power of Dead Light Satellite 2 is 94.02 MW, the effective power is 94 MW, and the thermal efficiency is 99.9%.

That's the big difference between the two.

Since the power generated by dead light satellites is so huge, it is impossible to consume so much electricity by relying on magnetic field generators alone.

Therefore, the Mada Island Satellite Manufacturing Company is trying to find a way to make use of this part of the energy.

After all, as the core of the dead light cannon, the cobalt rod is equivalent to a nuclear decay battery, and the characteristic of the nuclear decay battery is that it will release energy regardless of whether it uses electricity or not, which is a characteristic that cannot be changed.

In this way, the dead light satellite is a little embarrassing.

Although the company deploys the dead light satellite in low-earth orbit to build a "Skynet", it does not mean that after deployment, gamma-ray cannons will be fired all the time.

After all, there are not so many satellites in low earth orbit that can be hit.

Therefore, it is necessary to find a way to make full use of the energy generated by the decay of cobalt rods in the daily operation process.

The first use is a magnetic field generator.

The second use is the EFI thruster, which is actually a type of plasma thruster, but different from the Hall thruster.

Mada Island Satellite Manufacturing Company uses EFI propulsion developed and manufactured by another sister company, Mandalay Industries.

The so-called EFI thruster is very simple in principle, similar to electric furnace steelmaking technology, directly heating the working fluid in the electric furnace, and then directly spraying the working fluid into plasma to produce strong thrust.

For this purpose, the Dead Light Satellite also carried 50 tons of working fluid (i.e., fuel) to provide working fluid for five EFI propulsions.

However, the design of the Madadao Satellite Manufacturing Company also includes a robotic arm and a garbage recycling system, and the purpose is actually very simple: to use space junk in low earth orbit to turn these things into working fluids.

The advantage of this is that on the one hand, it can clean up space junk, and on the other hand, it can save the working fluid carried by the satellite itself, which is simply a double win.

In addition, the power of the dead light satellite will be wasted if it is not used, so it is used to clean up space junk, which can be regarded as waste utilization.

"Chairman, in addition, our company has also installed a satellite communication system for the dead light satellite, which can transmit communication signals to the surface and outer space."

Li Qingye agrees with them for squeezing the power of the Dead Light Satellite to the extreme.

It's also a good thing to find some side hustles for the Dead Light Satellite.

It can not only improve the overall value of the dead light satellite, but also confuse the outside world, making it impossible to judge the specific purpose of the dead light satellite.

After this improvement, the Dead Light Satellite 2 has the functions of communication, obstacle clearance, and turret, and the turret function is obviously not easy to use.

Li Qingye praised their design plan very much: "Good design, this kind of multi-functional satellite, which is conducive to normal deployment." ”

"We're also borrowing from the land-based Death Light Battery Power Station." Manumi replied excitedly.

Li Qingye also helped the dandelion project to talk about some arrangements by the way: "You communicate more with the dandelion project and the space business department, they will send a large number of materials to the space station in the near future." ”

"Understood, I'll communicate with them as soon as possible." Manumi nodded.

Li Qingye didn't stay here for long, and after about half an hour, he left here and went to a port city on Mada Island to investigate.

Manumi held a video conference with Su Changli of the dandelion project and people from the space division.

After communication, the Space Division decided to stop manufacturing the Dead Light Satellite 1 and turned to Madadao Satellite Manufacturing Company to purchase the Dead Light Satellite 2.

According to the estimates of the Space Division and the External Security Division, to ensure that the Skynet system can lock the Earth's atmospheric vehicles, at least 300 dead-light satellites need to be deployed.

If you add spare and redundancy, then at least 900 dead satellites are needed to meet the needs of the Skynet system.

Therefore, the Space Division placed an order with Madadao Satellite Manufacturing Company for 900 Dead Light Satellite Type 2 to be delivered over three years.

In other words, on average, every 10 days, Madashima Satellite Manufacturing Company needs to deliver 9 dead satellites to the Space Division.

Due to the recent downgrading of the state of emergency by Homo sapiens, many factories have returned to their daily production mode.

Mada Island Satellite Manufacturing Company is no exception, if it is still the previous state of emergency, then their company can produce 1,000 dead light satellites in half a year.

Ten days later.

Ten Deathlight Satellite 2 were sent to the underground base of the Dandelion project.

The Tinder space train can send 4 dead satellites to low earth orbit in one go.

In fact, in the past ten days, the major forces in the world have become numb.

The main reason is that the launch of the Dandelion project is too frequent, and the payload is still so huge, a total of 37 flights were launched in more than ten days, and 133,200 tons of materials were transported to the Homo sapiens space station in mid-orbit.

At this time, the Homo sapiens space station has become completely different from before.
