Spaceport.
A small transport spaceship that rises and falls in the spaceport is like an ant in front of the huge body of the spaceport. Among them, a larger Xingyao is a standout among these transport spaceships. .
The Xingyao was slowly connected to the dock of the spaceport, and then, pulled by the huge robotic arm, it slowly landed in the berthing area of the spaceport.
Inside the Shining Star, the passengers on the spacecraft, under the leadership of the flight attendants, walked out of the cabin one after another and began to enter the spaceport.
After getting out of the spaceship, the passengers took the suspended tram and drove towards the core living quarters of the spaceport.
"Everyone is about to enter the microgravity area. The spaceport looks like a lotus flower. The 'petals' in the inner circle will rotate at a certain speed. To enter the gravity zone, please keep your current sitting position." The navigator of the smart tram introduced to all passengers with a smile.
Hearing this, the passengers in the carriage sat down one after another, daring not to wander.
In the metal passage, the metal gate opened by itself, and the smart tram continued to move along the track.
Soon, the passengers felt the existence of gravity and were able to 'down to earth'. At the same time, the buildings inside the spaceport came into view, as if they were in the future world, with various sophisticated instruments, intelligent machinery, The huge floor-to-ceiling windows show the magnificent earth, the vast universe and space, . . .
"It's spectacular, this building is nothing short of a miracle!"
"Yeah! It's incredible, to see such a great scene in my lifetime, this life is really worth it!"
"Indeed! The company's efficiency in this regard is really worthless!"
"It's mainly artificial intelligence. The construction process of the spaceport is almost handled by artificial intelligence!"
...
The passengers in the tram talked a lot, lamenting the greatness of the spaceport and discussing the technologies used in the construction of the spaceport.
The passengers at the scene are all over 50 years old, almost all of them are in their 60s and 70s. They are dispatched by the Star Experiment Center to the spaceport, and the experts and professors stationed in the spaceport experiment study cosmology, cosmic biology, medicine, and other cosmic sciences. expert professor.
The grand construction inside the spaceport conquered them all at once.
Among this group of scientists, there are many blond and blue-eyed foreign scientists, some have obtained the nationality of the Dragon Kingdom, some are foreigners, and some are experts and scholars dispatched by other cooperative units and international research units.
When they saw the internal construction of the spaceport with their own eyes, these foreign scientists were amazed by this, and their expressions were filled with undisguised loss.
Seriously behind! Even if they were given one era, two eras, their country would not be able to catch up with Xingyao Technology and build such an advanced spaceport.
The tram arrived at its destination and stopped in front of an empty square.
"Professors, you have arrived at your destination, and you can get off the bus now. This is Xinggang Plaza. You can follow the guidance of the intelligent assistant, or the patrol robot, or reach the smart car, and go to the place you want to go, all the facilities in the port. It's all free, I hope you have a happy life in the port." The car door opened on its own, and the navigator introduced to the crowd in front of the car door.
Hearing this, experts and professors couldn't wait to get off the bus.
After getting out of the car, Steven looked at Liu Boming and asked in fluent Mandarin, "Liu, where are we going now? Looking for our laboratory?"
"No, let's go to the restaurant first. There is not much food on the spacecraft. I think we should go to the restaurant first. We are going to live here for half a year. We should check the food here first." Liu Boming suggested with a smile.
Steven nodded happily: "Okay, this is a good proposal."
Having said that, Liu Boming pulled Steven onto a tandem tram and instructed the intelligent driving assistant to take them to the restaurant.
The two-person tram shuttled quickly through the square. After a while, they took them to a simple and bright canteen. The fresh-keeping cabinet was filled with delicious food, various seafood, various meat products, and a large number of live fish ingredients. Swimming around in the tank, waiting for diners to order and cook.
Liu Boming took Steven to sit down at the dining table, and then called up the virtual menu on the desktop. There are almost all kinds of ingredients on the earth. At the same time, he also learned that the ecological park inside the spaceport has been built for several years and can provide hundreds of kinds. common food.
The chefs include intelligent mechanical chefs and specially invited human chefs, who can cook local specialties, take care of the appetites of different groups of people, and take into account almost all aspects of diet.
"It's great! The dishes are so complete, I can even order the recipes from our hometown. I'm so satisfied." Steven's eyes lit up and he said happily.
"Yeah! It's been a long time since I've eaten the local dishes from my hometown. Would you like to try it!" Liu Boming asked Steven with a smile.
"Next time! I also want to taste the taste of my hometown at this time." Steven declined Liu Boming's kindness and ordered a special dish of his hometown.
Liu Boming nodded and ordered his own menu on the virtual menu.
While waiting for the food to be served, the two of them chatted about the problems of scientific research projects while admiring the magnificent view of space outside the floor-to-ceiling windows. In this situation, an unprecedented feeling refreshed their hearts.
Distant Mars.
A mechanical city stands on the surface of Mars. Various mechanical robots are working tirelessly like diligent ant colonies. The buildings of the metal city expand in all directions at a speed visible to the naked eye.
An interstellar spacecraft from the moon base successfully reached Mars and slowly landed towards the berthing area of the metal city.
Soon, the mighty mechanical troops transported a large number of equipment parts from the landed spaceship, and then transported them to a huge laboratory. Hundreds of thousands of engineering robots and dozens of manipulators acted together to carry out the operation. Sophisticated and complex assembly.
In the core control room in the center of the metal city, several virtual figures appeared in front of the command screen. They were the virtual images of Li Yi, Zhou Shuzhi, and Sun Bingwen.
Through the gravitational wave interstellar communicator, the distant Mars and the Earth reached a timely signal transmission. They visited the Mars base through the virtual network, watched the installation progress of the antimatter furnace from a long distance, and prepared to conduct an antimatter experiment.
"Master, the antimatter furnace has been installed, all sub-modules are functioning normally, the control accuracy of the strong magnetic field is 100%, and the test results are normal." In the virtual conference room, Da Hei respectfully reported to Li Yihui.
Hearing this, Li Yi looked at Zhou Shuzhi and said with a smile, "The experiment is ready, Dad can start."
"Then let's start!" Zhou Shuzhi took a deep breath nervously and nodded.
Li Yi nodded with a smile, and informed the big underworld: "Let's start the experiment!"
"Okay, Master!" Da Hei readily responded, and immediately took over the control of the Mars base, began to control the antimatter furnace experimental area, and began the first experiment. .
With a "hum" sound, the metal city rooted on the surface of Mars slammed for a while. The thin air couldn't make it make too much noise. However, with the activation of the antimatter furnace, the transmission of a large amount of power began to vibrate violently in the entire metal base. .
In the center of the huge experimental area, there is a 'smoke pipe' building dozens of meters high at the core. The strong magnetic field seems to distort the inner space, and the high-temperature particles gather and accelerate wildly inside the strong magnetic field.
Dangerous experiments have begun, the entire metal base has stopped running, and nuclear fusion power stations have been full to provide energy for this antimatter furnace.
"The particle beam collision has begun, and the limit threshold has been reached, and the strength of the magnetic field continues to increase."
"The sensor has detected antimatter particles, the peeling force field has been activated,..."
"Successfully directed antimatter particles to the antimatter storage force field, current storage volume, 0.00014 mg, ...,"
"Insufficient particle material concentration, increase the injection concentration, ..."
...
As soon as the trial production of the antimatter furnace began, the black man who monitored the progress of the experiment drove to Li Yi, and Zhou Shuzhi and the others reported the progress of the experiment.
"Show the particle beam model, pay attention to the neutron overflow, and stop the experiment immediately." Zhou Shuzhi stared at the experimental model on the virtual screen and ordered nervously.
"Understood, Professor Zhou!" Da Hei readily responded and continued to manipulate the experiment.
In the virtual screen, the antimatter furnace is like a volcano. The high-temperature 'magma' inside is spinning and colliding frantically, and then a trace of white essence is produced at the bottom. The existence of , constantly changing to small water droplets.
Far away on Earth, Li Yi, Zhou Shuzhi, and Sun Bingwen in Xingyao City stared intently at the virtual experiment, waiting for the next experiment to start.
The antimatter melting furnace integrates, manufactures, stores and uses three functions and one device. The three-part step experiment has been successfully verified one by one. Now it is necessary to complete the three functions in one step. Once the experiment is successful, it means that this Antimatter furnaces can begin to move out of the lab for the next step in mass production applications.
The design drawings of this antimatter furnace came from the 'library'. Li Yi would not question the design of this heavy weapon. He was only worried that the existing technology would not meet the requirements, which would lead to the failure of the antimatter furnace experiment.
The experiment is carried out on the distant Mars. If a large amount of antimatter goes out of control and annihilates with positive matter, a big explosion will definitely occur, and the experimental process is extremely risky.
Amid such concerns, the amount of antimatter accumulated in the antimatter forge keeps rising.
Time flies, more than half an hour has passed, and the antimatter furnace has been running continuously and stably, and the amount of hair matter stored in the antimatter storage area is increasing.
"Professor Zhou, the amount of antimatter in the storage area reaches 100 grams. Do you want to carry out the next experiment?" Da Hei asked Zhou Shuzhi.
The complete annihilation of 100g of antimatter is equivalent to about 4.3 million tons of TNT explosives, which is equivalent to the power of 300 Hiroshima atomic bombs. At this level, if an accident occurs in the experiment, it is still under control.
"According to the established plan, continue the next experiment." Zhou Shuzhi indicated.
The **** responded, and immediately started the anti-matter annihilation program of the anti-matter furnace, opened the next strong magnetic field, and guided the trace anti-matter to run toward the lowest reactor.
The next moment, there was a loud "bang", and a high-temperature torrent spewed out from the 'discharge port' of the antimatter furnace. It was extremely turbulent, and it was countless times stronger than cold nuclear fusion energy.
The utilization efficiency of antimatter and positive matter annihilation reaction energy has reached 100%, which is unmatched by nuclear fusion energy. The development of antimatter power engines to drive interstellar spacecraft must be the existence with the highest energy utilization rate.
"The current antimatter output source per second: 0.001 grams, releasing 1.67x10^11J, and the continuous thrust is close to the Xingyao No. 1 fusion engine." Da Hei reported the experimental data to everyone.
Hearing this, Li Yi, Zhou Shuzhi, and Sun Bingwen all showed joy on their faces.
"This antimatter furnace is like an interstellar engine! With a little modification, it can be used on a spaceship!" Sun Bingwen asked, looking at Li Yi with bright eyes.
After Sun Bingwen said this, Zhou Shuzhi suddenly realized, looked at Li Yi and asked, "Xiao Yi, this antimatter furnace was developed based on an antimatter power engine! I said why the structure is so complicated!"
"This is Da Hei's credit, I don't know!" Li Yi laughed and threw the blame to Da Hei.
Da Hei kept silent at the right time, silently carrying the pot for his master.
Zhou Shuzhi smiled and nodded again and again, looking at the antimatter furnace experiment that was still running on the virtual screen, his old face blossomed with a smile.
"Can Da Hei~www.novelbuddy.com~ continue to strengthen the output of antimatter? How much can the theoretical limit reach?" Zhou Shuzhi asked the big gangster happily.
"Professor Zhou, the theoretical limit for the design of an antimatter furnace is to output 100 grams of antimatter per second, driving a million-ton starship to fly at a speed of 63% of the speed of light. At the current experimental stage, the equipment is fixed, and the material can only withstand 0.01 grams of antimatter energy. The output." Da Hei replied to Zhou Shuzhi.
"It turns out that it seems that the ultimate experiment to test the antimatter furnace still has to be carried out in space!" Zhou Shuzhi sighed and said with some regret.
"Dad! This is not in a hurry. Now that the first phase of the spaceport project has been completed, the next one can start to try to build an antimatter unmanned spacecraft and conduct space experiments." Li Yi quickly comforted.
"Yeah! I will keep an eye on this project and make arrangements." Sun Bingwen also comforted.
Zhou Shuzhi smiled happily, looked at the experiment on the virtual screen, and warmly invited: "This experiment is considered a success! Come to my house at night, let's celebrate."
"No problem!" Sun Bingwen readily responded.
"Dad, prepare more. In the evening, all of us will come over to congratulate you!" Li Yi responded with a smile.
"Xiaoyan, Xiaorong is here too! Then I want my granddaughter to bring it too, she is clamoring to find Xiaoyan every day to play!" Sun Bingwen gestured quickly.
"Come on! Come on! Children join together to have fun, Xiaoying also likes to play with Xiaoyan, this girl is about to become a big sister." Zhou Shuzhi showed a loving smile, Lao Huai said with relief.
Thinking of the naughty baby daughter, Li Yi smiled knowingly and suggested, "Then let's go! I'll tell the little lover."
Zhou Shuzhi and Sun Bingwen nodded in unison, and then the three of them dispersed from the virtual conference room.
