Chapter 558: Chapter 559 Nuclear Battleship

The confirmation of nuclear fusion theory has broadened the thinking of the scientific research team led by Dopps. Although it is only uncontrollable nuclear fusion, it can still be used. After many discussions, the reaction formula of nuclear fusion has been finalized by using hydrogen nuclei and boron 11 reactions, although the reaction is difficult and the energy generated is small. However, it does not produce gamma rays and neutrons, but only produces alpha particles, which is safe and clean, and is very suitable for the power source of warships.

"In this way, the problem of the propeller is solved. Considering the protective armor, ammunition load, personnel quality, etc. of the space warship, the maximum speed can be maintained at least one-tenth of the speed of light. Next, our work project can be handed over to the actual test team, and they will make this nuclear pulse engine practical as soon as possible. "

Most academic members fell asleep without saying hello after the results were finalized. They were really tired.

A sleepy academic member walked to Dopps and asked.

"...Does Amoeba also use this propulsion technology?"

"We just need to do our best and do our best."

Dorpes can\'t answer this question and can only wait for time to verify. He can only hope that Amoeba uses such propulsion technology, so that they can get closer.

Time passed minute by, and two years passed in a blink of an eye. The Carter people on the side of the space construction project were also anxious. They designed the keel according to Melun\'s instructions, because of the news that in order to cater to the nuclear pulse engine to be developed, they carried out tens of thousands of design blueprints. Because no one knows how big the thrust of the nuclear pulse is, so many blueprints have been designed.

However, even if it is well designed, the nuclear pulse engine has not come out.

Until a radio operator receives radio information from Soli.

"Received the telegram from Sori! It is the construction blueprint of the nuclear pulse engine! In addition, there are two new weapons, laser and electromagnetic gun!"

"Engineering designers, take their positions and show our talents!"

Engineering designers everywhere in the asteroid belt have picked up their own pen and paper. The current electronic technology of Carter civilization has just begun. Not to mention touch screen numerical control, the computer memory of the spacecraft is not necessarily larger than that of human smartphones on earth.

Relying on radio communication and telex, they built a simple radio network between them.

It was in such a simple design environment that engineering designers began to design the first space warship in history for their civilization.

The warship was quickly finalized, because there is a design record, engineering designers can find a design that fits the problem from a large number of design materials.

In order to be more efficient, designers have optimized the structure of the nuclear pulse engine in the design.

"Large fission reactors can be removed and converted into small fission reactors to maintain the electric field in the early stage of nuclear fusion reactions. The plasma of the nuclear pulse engine itself is a natural energy source. We can use the waste heat and cooling agents on the walls of the nuclear reactor chamber to generate electricity at temperature difference."

"But this is not efficient. I propose to change it to a circular structure to make the plasma move and cut the electromotive force generated by the magnetic line in the magnetic field to generate electricity."

Then the plasma was originally converged into a spherical structure and transformed into a ring, so that nuclear fusion plasma could be used to generate electricity, and at the same time, it could be promoted. Kill two birds with one stone, reducing the mass of the large fission reactor, and the spare mass can carry more weapons, cooling agents, shells and so on. Or for other things.

Later, Carter people thought about the safety of high-speed navigation of warships.

"Ships sailing at high speed are very dangerous, especially if they sail at one-tenth of the speed of light. Even a small pebble is very dangerous. We need a shield."

"The energy shield in science fiction film and television can\'t be realized at all. We are discussing reality, not fantasy."

"That\'s not what I want to say.

The kind of thighs thinks that it is impossible, and energy is not a robot. How can you run wherever you want? The proposer of the plan was discouraged and explained his design concept to his colleagues. "The shield I want to talk about is a volatile substance that exists in the bow of the warship. During the course of navigation, it collides with free atoms in the universe, resulting in increased internal energy and volatilization, which can form a gas flow and block it very One of the spacecraft at the speed of light was eroded by cosmic atoms.According to the proprietor\'s description, the engineering designers quickly embodyed the design on the drawings.

"In this design, the first part of the warship will be very large, and the shape is similar to the nuclear bomb cloud."

This shield only blocks the free atoms in the universe. If it touches a meteorite the size of a stone, this volatile shield does not have much protection effect, and it can only rely on the armor of the warship itself.

"In addition, we should be prepared to defend against high-energy rays in front of the spacecraft. Such a fast speed will inevitably lead to an increase in the frequency of light. Even low-frequency visible light is equivalent to high-frequency rays for high-speed moving spacecraft."

"Yes, this is a special place to pay attention to."

...

When the sample design drawing was outlined, the subordinates immediately delivered it to Mellon.

"Don\'t you consider the life-sisting system?" Mellon asked.

"There is no need. That\'s a waste of the effective load of the warship."

"Add it." Mellen-Dao.

"Uh...why?"

Mellen said, "You didn\'t consider the physical and psychological health of the warship crew and let them stay in the warship for a long time, which is a kind of torture for them."

"A special room was opened on the warship to plant some plants, which can not only circulate air, but also relieve the crew psychologically to a certain extent."

The subordinate thought about it and agreed with Mellon\'s words.

"I see."

"By the way, where is the signal plan implemented?" Melan continued to ask.

"Half of them have been broadcast, and these low-frequency radio satellites have steadily revolved around the stars. They will become our eyes on the cosmic battlefield and accurately lock the position of the enemy." The subordinates reported truthfully.

"Can you guarantee that they will have the expected effect?"

"It has been tested. At present, the latest test results can accurately locate a light brake scale and a three-car diameter meteorite."

Mellon thought for a moment and asked.

"Can it be improved again?"

"Yes, but there is an upper limit on the speed of light. As the distance increases, the information transmitted by the satellite may have a significant delay."

This problem can be accepted by Mellon. It is better to have information than no information.

"It doesn\'t matter if it\'s delayed. I\'m afraid I don\'t know the enemy\'s movements at all. No information is the most taboo thing in the war."

"The order goes on that all the engineering ships in the space army will make full use of space warships. We are still far from the planned number of 200,000 warships to serve, and we need to speed up."

"Yes!"
