Chapter 418: Nuclear Fusion Engine

The design drawings that rely on artificial intelligence and quantum computers naturally include the manufacturing method of the fusion engine, but this only exists in theory, and it is still unknown whether the fusion engine can actually be built when it is actually manufactured.

However, Xu Yun judged from his own experience that he could basically determine that he could not build a nuclear fusion engine by relying on drawings alone.

In the current crisis situation, instead of spending a lot of time on trial and error, the use of scientific simulators to obtain technical optimization solutions is the most suitable solution.

There is only one last chance left for the science simulator to be used.

The preciousness speaks for itself.

But it's used in fusion engines......

Worth.

Xu Yun firmly believed.

After he made up his mind, he didn't delay any time, and immediately used the number of times to simulate the fusion engine.

"Whether or not this God-destroying Star crisis can be successfully resolved depends on the results of the final simulation."

At this moment, Xu Yun looked at the simulated nuclear fusion engine in the light curtain in front of him, and his expression was solemn, and he couldn't help but murmur in his mouth.

The fusion engine is the heart of the Pilot, and without this heart, even if all the other components of the ship are completed, it will still be an empty shelf that can only be used as an art exhibit.

Fortunately, the first few times I used the science simulator, the results were not disappointing.

I think I will definitely be able to perfect the fusion engine this time.

In fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that with the current level of science and technology of human civilization, it is not a problem to conquer the nuclear fusion engine if it is fully developed.

It may not even take too long.

It's a pity that the worst thing is that at the moment, what human beings lack most is time.

If it were ten or eight years before the planet arrived on Earth, it would have saved this scientific simulation.

It will be used in more important places in the future.

Of course, Xu Yun never regretted his decision.

One last chance of scientific simulation was used, and an effort was made to build a fusion engine.

Complete the first spaceship of human civilization.

Once again, his choice proved right, and it didn't take long for the fusion engine to complete the simulation.

If you look closely, you can see that there are several more optimization suggestions for the fusion engine on the panel.

It shows that there are indeed many problems in the original plan.

If you do manufacturing directly, it will definitely cause a waste of resources.

However, with these optimization suggestions, the technology of the fusion engine can be completely perfected, and the heart of the pilot spacecraft can be truly built.

"Great."

"Now it's finally time to start manufacturing!"

Xu Yun couldn't help but express his joy under the excitement, and was very happy with the results of the simulation.

The next second saw him quickly turn off the panel, and immediately got up and went to Zhou Mingwei's office to announce the details of the official start of manufacturing, so that he could see the Pilot's spacecraft assembled as soon as possible.

Take off to space.

……

……

Zhou Mingwei and other scientific researchers did not know that Xu Yun had optimized the drawings of the nuclear fusion engine, and the following time was officially manufactured according to the original drawings.

However, Xu Yun will adjust the drawings from time to time to complete the optimization of the nuclear fusion engine imperceptibly.

Choosing this method is also more acceptable to everyone.

Save yourself from thinking.

Cause unnecessary trouble.

However, due to the complex structure of the fusion engine, even if there is an optimized version of the design drawings, it is very laborious to manufacture and still needs to solve various problems.

For example, the manufacturing test site of the engine, the conversion of the nuclear fusion device to the power of the spacecraft.

In particular, it is necessary to ensure that the spacecraft can reach a maximum speed of 10 percent of the speed of light.

Even with the cooperation of multiple departments, the construction of mankind's first nuclear fusion engine lasted a long time.

Time is like a stubborn donkey, it doesn't stop running.

Fast forward three years.

With the joint efforts of many scientific researchers, the nuclear fusion engine, which originally only existed in the drawings, finally completed the final assembly step.

Then comes the ultimate test.

Ignition.

This engine has had several previous ignition tests, but there are still problems with thrust and angle control.

I had to continue to optimize and upgrade.

Now the ignition is being carried out again, which is also related to whether the engine can successfully pass the assessment.

Qualified to assemble with other parts of the ship.

For this reason, the members of the nuclear fusion engine project that Xu Yun is in charge of are very nervous about this.

On the day of the ignition test, I arrived in the control hall early in the morning to witness the birth of this great historical moment.

——

September 21, 2033.

Wednesday.

Alliance for Human Space Security Science and Technology Park.

In the control hall of the nuclear fusion engine research room, everyone, including Xu Yun, was staring at the screen in front of them.

This is a specially zoned area for the construction of spacecraft, and the same places are also located in the countries participating in the project around the world, all with the aim of completing the pilot as quickly as possible.

In the past few years, mankind has further increased the monitoring of the trajectory of the planet.

Although I am very reluctant to admit it, it is a fact that the speed of the God Destroyer has accelerated.

The latest calculations suggest that there is a maximum of a year before Annihilation reaches Earth's orbit.

Crash into the atmosphere.

Coupled with the fact that humanity still needs to deal with Destroyer near the orbit of Mars, the remaining time is even shorter.

There are only a few months left.

Therefore, the engine ignition test is extremely important.

After all, humanity can't afford to drag it out.

Of course, three years on the human side has not been in vain, in addition to the five nuclear fusion power stations have been successfully completed and put into use, the transformation of the line has also been carried out very smoothly.

Compared with the previous price, the price of electricity has decreased significantly.

In addition, the maglev train has also been successfully developed, and the original high-speed rail is currently being gradually replaced.

In addition, many cities spend money to expand and renovate air-raid shelters, which has the meaning of a shelter underneath.

Obviously, he was fully prepared to deal with the Destruction Star.

If the Destroyer cannot be successfully destroyed, then this is the last hope.

Meanwhile.

With the media coverage of the fusion engine ignition incident, netizens also secretly prayed.

Hope everything goes well.

It is a matter of the safety of each individual's life, and everyone will be mentally concerned.

Stay up to date with the Pilot.

Everyone knows that there are still a few months left before the crisis of the Destroyer arrives.

It's time to wait for me.

It is no exaggeration to say that this ignition test is humanity's last chance.

If you don't succeed, you will succeed.

After all, some of the other parts of the ship are still in the final stages of processing, and there is no time to continue to optimize the engine.

It can be said that all of them are under a lot of pressure.

It is mainly impossible to intercept the planet on Mars, and after reaching the Earth's orbit, whether it launches a nuclear bomb or relies on the Shenwei space-based weapon system, it will have a great impact on the Earth. I believe that no one wants to bear this kind of consequences, and who knows whether the earth is still suitable for human life after the impact.

If someone were surfing the Internet at this time, they would surely find the whole network talking about it.

Except for a small number of people who began to decline, most still believe that Xu Yun will definitely succeed.

"Today's ignition must be successful, and there is no time to optimize and solve the problem."

"It's so depressing, I feel like I'm going to suffocate."

"Everyone must believe in Academician Xu, he will definitely be able to successfully conquer the nuclear fusion engine and successfully make the Pilot spacecraft appear in space."

"You can't rely on the engine alone, I wonder how the other parts of the ship are made?"

"Let's get ready to evacuate underground."

"Don't talk about what kind of evacuation, the underground shelter has never been our first plan to deal with the Destruction of God Star, just how many people can live in the places that those bomb shelters have been renovated, I'm afraid that we won't be able to enter if that situation really occurs."

"It seems that this catastrophe of human civilization cannot be overcome."

"With Academician Xu here, he will definitely be able to lead us out of the crisis, and everyone must not give up lightly."

……

Xu Yun naturally can't see all kinds of speeches on the Internet.

Now he looks more mature, probably because he has been so busy lately, he can't even spare time to shave the beard on his face.

The time when the fusion engine was built to this day was something he didn't expect at the beginning.

But there is no way to do it.

Other members of the Human Space Security Alliance certainly have incomparable scientific research technology and theirs.

Although it is responsible for the simple part of the ship.

But problems are inevitable.

And if you don't hurry up to solve it, it will affect the manufacturing progress of the entire Pilot spacecraft.

For this reason, Xu Yun had to hold frequent online technical discussion meetings to give guidance to those scientists.

Although the development of other components was successfully ensured in the end, the fusion engine was delayed.

Fortunately, things are still under control at the moment.

Now that the rest of the Pilot's components are almost complete, as long as the engine passes the test, it will be able to give the spacecraft the all-important heart to life.

"Academician Xu."

"Do you think we'll succeed this time?"

At this time, Lei Ming, who was standing beside Xu Yun, became more and more worried, and opened his mouth back and forth a few times, and finally couldn't help but ask.

He doesn't know much about scientific research, but he can feel everyone's growing nervousness.

But if you want to say that the person he believes in the most present, then Xu Yun is undoubtedly in the first place.

Xu Yun's worries about Lei Ming are not clear, but the manufacturing of the nuclear fusion engine is based on the optimization suggestions given by the scientific simulator, and it can be said that it is a complete version of the design drawings.

In addition, with him personally in charge, I really can't find a failure in the development of a nuclear fusion engine.

It just took a little more time.

In order to comfort Lei Ming and the others around him, put his heart at ease.

In the next second, a smile appeared on Xu Yun's face, and he said to Lei Ming in a rather gentle voice:

"Don't worry, Chief Lei, we have optimized the thrust and angle of the engine, and this ignition test will definitely be successful."

"That's good, I'm relieved to have your words." Lei Ming was very surprised when he heard it.

If Xu Yun can be so personally assured, there should be no problem.

And as Xu Yun's words fell, the faces of the other people around him also looked a lot more relaxed.

"Don't forget, the projects that our Xu Yuan participated in have never failed." Zhou Mingwei took over the conversation and added with a smile, which made the atmosphere suddenly a lot more lively.

Xu Yun turned his head and glanced at it casually, and then asked one of the engineers:

"How's the preparation going?"

"It's all ready, and it's ready for ignition testing." The engineer said confidently.

"That's good."

"Let's start igniting."

Knowing that the preparations were completed very well, Xu Yun did not delay any longer, and announced the ignition order on the spot.

As the engineers operated on the console, they saw the top cover of the huge factory building on the screen slowly open, revealing the nuclear fusion engine inside, which looked like a planetary engine in a science fiction movie.

Filled with the beauty of technology.

Soon, when the nuclear fusion began to react, a huge blue tail flame erupted straight from the engine.

In the blink of an eye, it rushed into the clouds, forming an incomparably spectacular scene.

What's more, this tail flame is always stable.

Fortunately, the engine is placed on the ground, otherwise the terrifying thrust formed may have caused some damage to the park.

Meanwhile.

The control hall is also very busy.

In addition to recording the data of the engine, the engineering personnel also did not forget to broadcast in real time.

"The engine is running fine."

"Maintain maximum thrust and perform an angle change test."

"The set value is exceeded."

……

And the scientific researchers in the hall who were watching everything in front of them, their originally frowning brows were completely relaxed.

Even the joy finally emerged.

Because as you know, the nuclear fusion engine has been successfully developed.

"Our hard work and sweat have not been in vain, and the nuclear fusion engine has finally been completed."

"Humanity is saved."

"According to the design drawings of the spacecraft, as long as the parts are successfully manufactured, the Pilot will be assembled quickly."

"At the speed of the pilot, it can reach the vicinity of Mars in a few hours, and the time is completely in time."

As Zhou Mingwei and the others exchanged these situations, Xu Yun finally had a smile on his face.

Then make arrangements immediately.

"In the name of the Alliance for the Security of Mankind and Space, an announcement was issued to announce to the world that the nuclear fusion engine had been successfully conquered, and a meeting of the alliance was held to start the assembly of the Pilot as soon as possible."

Naturally, everyone had no objection to this, and the next time began to take action one after another.

Everyone in the outside world is still nervous, waiting for the final results of the engine ignition test, for fear that what they will see will be bad news.

So when the official news of the Human Space Security Alliance came out, the whole network suddenly fell into a boil.

Everyone was immersed in the joy.

At the same time, we are also looking forward to the upcoming assembly of the Pilot spacecraft.

They left messages to express their feelings at the moment.

"I know that Academician Xu will definitely not disappoint everyone, and human civilization will definitely be able to survive this crisis."

"Is this a fusion engine, it's just shocking."

"It's hard to imagine what it will be like when the Pilot launches, it's just too exciting."

"With the existence of such spacecraft, it is not very difficult to solve the crisis of an asteroid, especially since it can also take the construction of the moon base or even the Mars base into a new field."

"There are still a few months left, and I hope to see the destruction of God Destroying Star completely destroyed by us!"
