MTL - The Return of the Black Technology of Immortal World-v3 Chapter 239 new spaceship
Although the rock split from that asteroid is not fundamentally different from other meteorites in this universe, a large group of metal-like substances with relatively specific spectral characteristics was found in the core of the asteroid.
We all know that the element with the largest atomic mass that can be found on the blue star is plutonium, a highly toxic nuclear material, which is a radioactive element at position 94 of the periodic table.
Further down, there are twenty-four radioactive elements that do not exist in Blue Star, but are synthesized through laboratories.
These elements include metals and non-metals, all of which are radioactive, and for a large part of them, the half-life is calculated in milliseconds.
Although these man-made elements have existed for a short time, all their characteristics have been recorded. The spectrum discovered now is definitely not the kind that has been seen before.
So the spaceship was preparing to put back the small metal core with a mass of more than 10,000 tons, and it was just waiting for the moment when the asteroid fragments would be completely exposed.
So so far, this spaceship can’t be counted on for the time being. Even if it is completely unmanned, there is no need to worry about the impact of acceleration on the human body. However, due to the particularity of the force field engine, it also needs to go through It takes a long time to accelerate to return to the Moon Palace Base within a few days.
However, it still needs to install the core, and the entire meteorite group needs to be spread out a little more, so the delay will be at least ten days or more.
Although it is not impossible to make this process faster, for example, throwing a few missiles into the asteroid can use the power of explosive explosion to speed up the separation process.
Although in a vacuum, the power of the explosive explosion will be greatly weakened, and the air shock wave cannot be caused, but only the gas generated by the explosive itself, and the driving force generated by the prefabricated fragments.
Although these forces are small, they can also have a great effect when they are in large numbers.
It's a pity that since Yang Qing and Xiao Ai had the protection of the protective shield, they no longer looked down on the most widely used weapon of Blue Star.
After all, in the vast vacuum of the universe, even nuclear bombs like Ivan the Great are of little use, let alone such ordinary-charged missiles.
However, the concept of missiles is not wrong, even if there is no conventional rocket engine power, it just uses electromagnetic ejection to launch shells.
Although the shells fired by the electromagnetic gun are extremely fast, even if they can't reach the speed of the shell that smashed the asteroid with one blow, they can reach a speed of tens to hundreds of kilometers per second.
This kind of speed naturally has no room for manipulation within the range of Blue Star, but on the cosmic scale, it appears to be extremely slow, and it can be controlled to a certain extent by using force field thrusters.
Moreover, the base also has the ability to use space wave communication, basically without delay, and it is easier to control the shells.
Strictly speaking, such shells can no longer be called missiles, they can only be regarded as controllable shells.
It is also true that there is no opponent in the solar system that is worthy of Yang Qing's full attack. Only relying on electromagnetic guns and laser cannons that have not yet been put into use can completely suppress the entire blue star in outer space, and there is no need for more powerful weapons.
Therefore, there are no gunpowder weapons on this spaceship at all, so for the time being, we can only wait for the asteroid to disperse completely, and then collect the core.
Some people may say, the universe is so big, there are countless asteroids like this, why insist on sticking to this core, delaying the important event of cooperation between Yang Qing and Huaguo.
However, just as we know, although there are many asteroids, most of them are rocky planets with no characteristics. At best, there are only metals such as copper and iron, and even precious metals such as gold and silver. There are very few of them.
Moreover, this brand-new element can not only enrich Blue Star's physical and chemical knowledge in theory, but also obtain a stable heavy element that can exist stably in practice. This is the key point.
To say how useful this element is, it is not necessarily true, just like the twenty-four artificial elements that are artificially synthesized, for the time being, they really have no meaning other than filling the periodic table of elements.
But if one day, after the breakthrough of human physics, these artificial elements, or heavy elements that can exist stably, can really come in handy.
Just like plutonium and uranium, when humans discovered them, they would never have thought that they were the culprit of the cloud of destruction that enveloped the entire blue star, but at the same time, they were also an opportunity for humans to go to the universe.
Regardless of how useful those asteroid cores will be in the future, it is also a fact that there is no suitable means of transportation between the moon and the blue star in the base.
Fortunately, at the beginning of the construction of the Moon Palace Base, Xiao Ai had already started preparing for another spaceship for manning.
Compared with the previous one, this one has a more comprehensive design and a more reasonable structure. After its volume has been expanded, it can accommodate two thousand people or twenty thousand tons of cargo.
This quantity seems to be small, and it is far from the cargo capacity of a sea-going ship, which can easily reach more than 100,000 tons, but it is already the spacecraft with the largest cargo capacity except for the Moon Palace Base.
Regardless of its size, it is a little larger than ordinary large aircraft, but with the expansion of space, the volume inside has been expanded by dozens of times.
For its manufacture, Xiao Ai had to use the titanium alloy reserves from Blue Star.
Although enough rutile has been found on the moon to produce titanium, almost 20% of the titanium in the lunar environment is radioactive titanium isotopes.
These radioactive isotopes can only emit alpha or beta rays, which are not very harmful to the human body, but they can seriously interfere with the work of various electronic devices.
Although the current spaceship mainly uses aura as energy source for propulsion and protection, electricity is also an indispensable part. At least the main control computer and many other things all need the support of electricity, especially the electromagnetic powered main gun. , and the laser for near-end defense~www.novelbuddy.com~Although even the titanium alloy on Blue Star cannot avoid the existence of radioactive isotopes in it, the content is very low, so low that it cannot be worn at all. degree of penetration through the outer wall.
Therefore, before most of the radioactive elements are removed, these titanium metals cannot be used as materials for the construction of spaceships.
However, this raw material purification technology has actually been widely used in Blue Star, just like the centrifuge used to make mushroom bombs, it is a good way.
On the moon, in the Moon Palace Base, there are many things that are lacking, but there is absolutely no lack of energy.
This aspect is not obvious on moonlit nights, because there is only one million-kilowatt-level fusion power station for the construction site outside the entire base, but once it is moonlight, the energy emitted by dozens of square kilometers of panels It has reached the level of tens of millions of kilowatts.
Now on the moon, there are not many factories that consume a lot of energy, and the base also has its own reactor for power supply, so that the base has to input the aura generated by the electricity into the ground to verify whether there will be spirit stones in the natural environment generation.
