Chapter 211 Spaceship
The prosperity of a civilization is not only about science and technology, but also about spirit, culture, system... almost all aspects. As a former high-spirited species, "Black" is deeply proud of its former mother civilization.
But the great mother civilization was destroyed, and everything was no longer the same. In the end, only a single individual of the civilization survived.
It can only take one step at a time.
In the conversation with Zhang Peng, there was a lot that was not revealed. A low-level civilized individual like Zhang Peng has never experienced relevant matters and would not understand if I told him about it.
For example, the specific algorithm of spiritual level, the standards and weights of each rating, etc. If Zhang Peng doesn't ask, it won't answer.
It doesn't think it's necessary. After all, the new human civilization is still a low-level civilization. Even if you tell them the specific algorithm, it is of no use. How can they still judge other civilizations?
Especially the item "thinking model" is very difficult to change once it matures, and it is also the item with the heaviest weight in scoring...
Zhang Peng was silent for a long time. After hearing so much information, he was quite satisfied.
These things are just curiosities at best and are not of much help to current humans, but they are enough for him to do business...
Of course, he must first enjoy this wonderful vacation, then write relevant reports, and then study hard and fight... He secretly vowed, although he has made such a vow many times...
Six years have passed since the catastrophe on the earth. In these six years, the entire Noah has undergone earth-shaking changes.
The first is people's mental state. Six years has been enough to erase the grief caused by the disaster day, and many people have established new families.
On New Year's Day, everyone is smiling, leading their toddlers or babies learning to talk, greeting and greeting each other, and the whole society looks happy.
The use of a large number of functional robots has liberated people from complicated manual labor. Cooking, laundry, massage, etc. are all handed over to robots. People have more time to work, rest, entertain, etc...
Although material resources are not abundant, spiritual enjoyment has increased.
And then...the number of people in the hospital increased significantly!
Of course, it’s not about being sick or anything, but making an appointment to use stem cell reactivation reagent to extend your life!
This livelihood project is all free of charge. Because there are so many people who signed up, it doesn’t matter if it’s one day earlier or one day later. Everyone just makes an appointment and then they can start working on their own.
The seventh year after leaving the earth has begun...
Yu Yifeng is discussing the manufacturing plan of a new spacecraft with everyone in the office.
Human beings have spaceships, namely the "Victory" spacecraft. It was the most advanced spaceship in the past, but it was already a model ten years ago. Today, with the emergence of a large number of new materials and the explosion of technology, this old spaceship is a bit unable to keep up with the trend of the times.
However... the research on new spaceships, although it is important, is actually not too important, because humans already have Noah. Current technology cannot create a more powerful spaceship than Noah.
It's not important, but it's somewhat important. Noah has no engine at all. After all, humans still need to develop real aerospace technology.
But there is a key problem. There is no way to test fly the spacecraft created!
Although the space inside Noah is large, it is not large enough for the ultra-high-speed movement of the spacecraft, and it will hit the edge all of a sudden.
Therefore, the research on new spacecraft has always been in a relatively embarrassing position, with insufficient manpower and not many resources.
Fortunately, after so many years of stumbling development, and thanks to the huge computing power of quantum computers, there has finally been good progress in this area.
All the design models are completed, and it’s just time for the test flight!
Yu Yifeng discovered this through painstaking efforts from the year-end summary given by Bai Hezi, otherwise he would simply ignore it.
At the beginning of the new year, he couldn't wait to convene relevant researchers and hold a small meeting.
"The first is a combat-type small space shuttle with a rated number of two pilots and a total weight of 20.7 tons. The fuselage material is made of super alloy b series light metal..."
The person who contributed the most to this part of the research was a weapons scientist named Romon, who was originally a Russian fighter research expert.
That is, their research team is mainly responsible for the design work in this area.
You can see the specific model of this space shuttle from the computer screen. It is about 13 meters long and about 5 meters wide and high. It is not very big. There are a total of twelve ion engines at the bottom and around it.
Because there is no atmosphere in the universe, it does not need to be in the shape of a falcon like a fighter jet. It looks like a box, which is thicker and more stable.
Zhao Yao, Shen Jie and other soldiers were gearing up, with excitement on their faces. This is a space shuttle for combat. They have been looking forward to it for a long time, and it is finally out!
Loaded around are, of course, small nuclear bombs! Conventional missiles have long been eliminated in space battles.
Xu Yunjin observed the parameters of the spacecraft from the side and kept nodding: "The maximum speed is 360,000 kilometers per hour. Is it true? Is it equivalent to 100 kilometers per second?"
He felt very satisfied. At 100 kilometers per second, it only takes about 140 seconds to fly from China to the United States, a little more than two minutes. Isn't this fast?
Yu Yifeng still shook his head and said, "It's not that fast, right? 100 kilometers per second is certainly fast compared to previous aircraft. But for space warfare, it's ridiculously slow. You forgot the Green Light Man's electromagnetic artillery shells, which have a speed of 10,000 kilometers per second, which is a hundred times that!"
Chief Designer Professor Luo Meng reminded him, "Captain, our manned spacecraft needs to consider the acceleration that people can bear. In fact, this spacecraft has exceeded the standard."
"A well-trained soldier can only bear a maximum acceleration of 9 times the gravity of the earth. If it is accelerated to 100 kilometers per second according to this standard, it will take 18.5 minutes! 9 times the gravity, if it is your physical fitness, it may not be a problem, but ordinary humans can't bear it at all, and can only last for a few seconds at most!"
"100 kilometers per second is the maximum speed. With the physical fitness and nerve reaction ability of ordinary soldiers, they can't control it at all. The speed of 10 kilometers per second is a better choice."
Yu Yifeng still frowned. The speed of 10 kilometers per second is good for bullying earthlings... The speed of many missiles can't reach this number. But when fighting with real aliens, facing energy weapons close to the speed of light, isn't it just like a snail?
Aren't such combat vehicles cannon fodder?
But the human body does have its limits, and there is no way to overcome this! Too much acceleration is equivalent to a lot of heavy objects pressing on the body, which can easily cause blood vessels and internal organs to rupture, and the driver will die before the fight even starts.
He couldn't help but ask: "The human body is still too fragile, it seems that drones are more reliable... But even drones have to be controlled by people behind the scenes. One hundred kilometers per second, isn't it beyond the reaction speed of normal people?"
