With a steady supply of energy from the plasma ring, Chen Yue's pressure was immediately greatly reduced.

In the following period, Chen Yue continued to build numerous power stations there, trying to reduce the consumption of local energy to less than 10% of the total consumption in ten years, and completely reduce it to zero at the right time, so as to completely solve the problem of energy shortage.

But at this time, a new problem was discovered by Chen Yue.

Due to the lack of their own technology level, the failure rate of these interstellar transport spacecraft, which carries the demand for energy transfer, is too high......

Even if Chen Yue has simplified their structure as much as possible, strictly speaking, they are just a remote control system plus an engine and a cargo warehouse, and the failure rate is still too high for such a simple structure.

This not only consumes a lot of computing power of Chen Yue, sometimes it is much worse, but also seriously undermines the energy supply plan. On several occasions, Chen Yue has even had to limit the electricity consumption of certain factories.

Today, it is only a little more than 30% of the energy supply, and there are more than 600 heavy transport ships used to travel between the plasma ring and Ganymede and Europa, and when it is 100% supplied, the number of transport ships will be as high as 2,000. Add to that the energy demand that increases every year, and it will cost 2,500 or even more?

One day when 2,500 spacecraft will need to transport energy day and night......

Thinking about the number of spaceships that needed to be repaired and adjusted every day at that time, Chen Yue had a headache.

It is impossible to improve the performance of the ship in a short period of time. Then, it is necessary to find another space transportation solution with high reliability, low energy consumption, and low computing power requirements, that is, you don't need to divide too much energy yourself.

Chen Yue thought about it for a long time, and checked the knowledge base little by little, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"Electromagnetic catapult technology? This seems to be useful for interstellar transportation......"

When you think of it, act immediately. Chen Yue immediately began the engineering verification.

Electromagnetic catapult technology is actually quite simple. The principle is nothing more than the acceleration of the load and then the launch of the load through electromagnetic acceleration technology, and more basically, the conversion of electrical energy into kinetic energy.

There are related studies in the Earth Age, but most of them are applied to the military, such as electromagnetic guns.

Chen Yue plans to build an electromagnetic catapult cannon directly in the plasma ring, then put liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen in a metal box, and then "launch" the metal box directly onto Ganymede or Ganymede.

The ejection velocity can be lowered a bit, for example, to an average of 40 meters per second, so that after choosing the right track, the metal boxes will enter the orbit around Ganymede on their own once they reach Ganymede. Then you can transport these boxes directly to the surface of the planet.

As for the water ice transported to the plasma ring, the same pattern can be taken.

Build an identical EM projectile cannon in Ganymede's orbit, then transport the water ice to the orbit and fire it directly into the plasma ring.

This way, there is no need to build and operate as many ships. It not only saves computing power, but also saves a lot of energy.

The only drawback is that if you want to put these metal boxes directly into orbit, you can only maintain a speed of about 40 meters per second. At this rate, it would take more than two months to get from the plasma ring to Callisto, which is barely a long time.

But that's okay. As long as the first one arrives, the next one will continue to arrive, and it will not affect the energy supply.

At this moment, the first electromagnetic catapult cannon has been built at the plasma ring. Under Chen Yue's remote order, a metal box the size of a standard container on Earth, with an internal space of about 25 cubic meters, full of liquid oxygen, and a total weight of about 28.5 tons, was placed at the starting end of the electromagnetic gun.

Under the huge power supply, the electromagnetic force acts on the metal container and begins to slowly accelerate it. The moment it left the muzzle, it reached a velocity of 42.6 meters per second, and began to slowly fly towards Europto in a pre-set trajectory.

Chen Yue collected all the data generated by this launch and began to analyze it in detail.

More than two months later, after a long journey, the container arrived near Callisto. Europa's gravitational pull acted on it, changing its orbit and pulling it toward itself.

The metal container has been successfully put into orbit!

Chen Yue immediately started a table-shaped rocket, launched it into space, and then adsorbed it onto the container. The rocket began to start, slowing it down, slowly dragging it to the surface of Callisto, landing in a clearing in front of a hydrogen-oxygen power station.

The first trial was a great success!

During this period of time, Chen Yue carried out the second, third, and sixteenth tests, launching a total of sixteen containers.

With each test, the efficiency is a little bit higher than before. After sixteen tests, Chen Yue thought that he had mastered this technique.

"Then start building on a large scale!"

Chen Yue was extremely excited.

So, next month, the first batch of 100 standard models of electromagnetic guns was assembled at the plasma ring.

It resembles a thin tube inserted into a cube full of "wings".

Those wings are electrically powered devices that can supply energy to the electromagnetic gun as a whole, and thrust reversers are also installed on the cube to provide thrust reverser stabilization for the whole. In addition, there is plenty of space for the spacecraft to berth, and to temporarily park the containers and complete the filling of the containers.

At this moment, a large number of fast-passing spacecraft took the hydrogen and oxygen that they ionized during this period of time from one electrolysis device after another, and sent them to the electromagnetic gun. Immediately after unloading, the internal machinery of the electromagnetic gun fills the liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen into the container. The container is then placed at the starting end of the cannon, and then the ejection is activated, and a container is launched.

At current efficiency, the cannon can eject a container every ten minutes on average, and a container is loaded with 28.5 tons of liquid oxygen or liquid hydrogen.

In this way, a total of 144 containers can be ejected in one day, with a total of 4,100 tons of mass, and 100 electromagnetic guns are 410,000 tons per day!

At this moment, the number of heavy interstellar transport ships has reached 700, and the average daily transportation is only 320,000 tons of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen!

According to this calculation, Chen Yue only needs to build a total of 260 electromagnetic guns at the plasma ring to fully cover the existing energy needs!

No, not that many railguns are actually not used yet. The reason is simple, this method is more energy-efficient than spaceship transportation.
