216 Direction

They went back very quickly. While chatting with Zhao Yuxi, Yang Qing explained to her the principles of some spells and the meaning of what he did. In less than ten minutes, he had returned to the base.

After returning to the base, he was called over by Xiaoai.

Although the experimental reactor outside has been built and successfully achieved controllable nuclear fusion, the base, which originally had everything on paper, has collected a large amount of detailed data.

In addition, although the experimental base outside has been successfully operated, due to the lack of previous experience, it is the first time that the rune array and Blue Star technology have been combined in the solar system, and there will inevitably be some acclimatization phenomena.

This is different from programmers writing programs. Programmers write programs. As long as the program can run, they don't care how it runs. As long as it runs, don't worry about it. Once you don't like it, you can just change a few variables. It might be over, especially for large programs.

However, the fusion reactor, despite the application of rune technology, is indeed a mechanical creation. What mechanical creation pays attention to is precision and does not tolerate too much uncertainty.

Xiao Ai has come up with many improvement plans from the experiment pile, and she needs Yang Qing to implement them.

There is no way around this. As for the parts that are applied to Blue Star Technology, Xiaoai has already used the base's own processing center to handle everything.

But when it comes to runes and weapon refining, Xiao Ai can only solve a small part and needs Yang Qing's help.

But deep in Xiao'ai's folder, there has long been a project called nanorobots.

Now in the laboratory on Blue Star, there are actually nanorobots. However, because these nanorobots do not have suitable communication chips, they can only deal with certain specific problems for the time being, but cannot be fully functional and comprehensive.

Nanorobots also represent the latest technological direction of Blue Star. Its breakthrough also means a comprehensive breakthrough in chips, microtechnology, energy technology, and robotics technology.

Because nanorobots are so small, the energy required becomes a big issue at the nanoscale.

Even if it can imitate certain microorganisms or human cells, it can use sugar as a source of energy.

However, the biggest drawback of sugar as an energy source is that the energy density is too small to support the movement of nanorobots with a large workload.

However, Xiaoai has aura, which is completely the best source of energy. She also has runes, and the runes can be carved very small, so small that they can be carved on nano-robots.

Although the number of runes engraved on the nanorobots is limited and the information they can carry is limited, when they gather together, they can achieve some kind of group intelligence, similar to bee colonies and ant colonies.

When the number is large enough, it can even directly replace the general-purpose chips on computers.

But so far, the nanorobot project has not been put to use, especially the fusion reactor. Some of the components that have been greatly improved and require relatively high requirements cannot even be processed by the machining center. Yang Qing has to go through the refining process. The technique only needs to be tempered.

As the core of the Moon Palace Base, this reactor not only requires high power, but also needs to be able to operate for a long time and have low maintenance difficulty, so it is far from comparable to the experimental reactor outside.

This long period of time is not one or two months or one to two years. It is a necessary requirement not to mention that it can burn for hundreds of years like the sun, but at least for more than ten years without the need for downtime and maintenance.

Therefore, as soon as Yang Qing returned to the base, he was dragged by Xiao Ai to refine the core components of the reactor, mainly the design of the pressure chamber.

Originally on Blue Star, Yang Qing had refined several sets of pressure talisman arrays. However, after the operation of the experimental reactor, although the pressure talisman arrays could provide pressure normally as designed, the original ordinary materials made them easy to use. As time goes by and under the dual effects of pressure, it will gradually deform and damage.

According to Xiao Ai's observation, the longest time this talisman formation can last will not exceed two years.

This kind of life span is actually enough for ordinary commercial operations, but it is far from enough for Xiao Ai and Yang Qing.

This time, Xiao Ai creatively adopted a composite design of multiple reaction chambers, so that when certain reaction chambers malfunction and must be shut down, the energy output can be maintained without cutting off the energy supply of the entire base.

This design will continue to be used on spacecraft in the future, because the reactor designed by the base and the location of the energy core are already so large, so the volume of each cabin has to be compressed.

The location of the energy core cannot actually be placed in the expanded space. Although the expanded space is theoretically connected to the normal space, a high temperature of about 100 million degrees cannot achieve the purpose of burning through the space.

However, overly active internal energy may have an impact on the expanded space, especially the super pressure brought by the pressure talisman array.

According to Einstein's theory of relativity, mass causes distortion of space, so the center of the super-strong pressure symbol array is actually equivalent to a large mass center, which will inevitably cause changes in space, and is likely to cause the collapse of the expanded space.

This brings up a problem, that is, a normal spacecraft cannot be too large.

Although theoretically speaking, there is no influence of gravity when building a spaceship in the universe, in fact, the size does not matter much.

But even if it is a medium-free engine, the mass of the spacecraft is too large. According to the law of inertia, it is difficult to accelerate the spacecraft and change its flight path in a short period of time.

Yang Qing and Xiao Ai treat the entire Moon Palace base as a spaceship, just to get rid of it once and for all, and they also have rune technology in their hands as a reserve.

However, for such a large spacecraft, even if Yang Qing tried his best, it still took the base four days to successfully land on the moon.

Switching to the spacecraft on it, the time is shortened to ten hours. In the future, with the improvement of construction capabilities and the progress of the inertial force offset scheme, this time can even be shortened to less than one or two hours. This is a small spacecraft. the benefits of.

Therefore, the size of the spacecraft is closely related to the degree of civilization. The larger the spacecraft, the more advanced the civilization.

Adding an energy core to the base is an unprecedented event. Even if the base is now completely in a state of excess energy, it means that the base can always be beneficial to the invincible position and can conduct more explorations.

Based on his vision and knowledge alone, Yang Qing was stronger than Xiao Ai. He continued to improve on the reactor designed by Xiao Ai, and finally came up with two completely different directions. One was to expand and expand the reactor on the basis of the same area. Divided into four parts, the result is an energy utilization rate of more than 90%.

The result of ultra-high energy utilization is that the larger the reactor, the higher the efficiency, which is very suitable for use in bases that cannot move.

One direction is to shrink it, and it can even be reduced to the size of a human heart. It can be applied to space fighters and space mechas.

Now Yang Qing no longer has to envy Iron Man's Mark III, because such a small reactor is enough to power the mecha.
