"Mishima, what do you think about the thrust exceeding the expected value?" Huang Junjie asked, staring at the thrust value that exceeded the expected value by 34%.

Mishima scratched his head and began to think hard. After a while, he carefully checked the real-time monitoring data, and soon found a trace of suspicion. Mishima said with some uncertainty: "I suspect it may be related to light radiation. Those Light radiation that is not fully converted into heat energy increases engine thrust."

"Light radiation?" Huang Junjie thought for a while, and he agreed with this guess.

After all, power cannot appear for no reason. According to the mass-energy equation and energy conservation, the extra power must have a source.

Of the total energy generated by the nuclear fusion reactor, 28% is converted into electrical energy. Among the remaining 72% of the energy, in addition to the 12% of helium plasma that has not been released in the vacuum chamber, there is also about 60% of heat. and optical radiation.

These 60% of thermal energy and optical radiation cannot be completely converted into nitrogen plasma, especially the optical radiation part.

The nitrogen plasma ejected by the entire ion engine is very powerful, but the thrust actually provided is very limited, only 37 kilograms of thrust.

But compared to those ion engines that can only push a piece of paper, 37 kilograms is already several orders of magnitude stronger.

Soon the 1800-second nuclear fusion reaction came to an end, and the reactor released the condensed matter vacuum chamber at the moment the reaction ended.

In an instant, 99.4 grams of helium plasma in the reactor was sprayed out from the ion engine nozzle.

Huang Junjie saw that the thrust at that moment had reached about 6542 kilograms. It was indeed 6542 kilograms. In less than a second, the ion engine instantly exploded with a powerful thrust of 6.5 tons.

But this momentary thrust is the nuclear fusion reactor ejecting the remaining 12% of energy in an instant.

Zhou Botong marveled at this ion engine, which can last for 1,800 seconds with a thrust of 37 kilograms and an instant burst of thrust of 6,542 kilograms: "Nuclear fusion is really extraordinary."

Mishima Jiya danced excitedly while talking:

"Nuclear fusion is a qualitative leap forward. Even if it cannot be used in the atmosphere, we can still use it in outer space. Especially now that the power has reached such a high level, if we increase the size of the nuclear fusion reactor, we may be able to create a continuous An ion engine with a thrust of more than 1,000 kilograms."

"I'll leave it to you to develop a higher-thrust ion engine. I'll come back when I have time."

"Chairman, walk slowly!"

"Thank you very much, Chairman, for your guidance."

Huang Haojie left the Keelung Ion Engine Research Institute directly and returned to his secret research institute again.

Zhong drove the Surging Dawn sports car to send him back to Huang's Beppu. This time he returned to the secret research institute mainly to go offline. After putting the anthropomorphic bionic robot back into the storage room, he left Keelung City.

In Shanmei's secret research institute, after Huang Junjie opened his eyes, he got up from the massage chair and stretched his muscles.

[Master, your stand-in robot has arrived at the New Kaohsiung Space Station. ]

"Oh? I understand." Huang Junjie continued to move his body, and then after eating some fruit, he went online again.

The stand-in robot he put online this time was secretly stored in the new Kaohsiung Space Station.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he floated out of the storage cabinet with some discomfort. This was the first time he experienced the microgravity environment of outer space.

At present, the construction of the new Kaohsiung Space Station has been completed, especially after the mass projector has been upgraded, launches have become increasingly easier.

Zhang Yunfeng, who was in the main control module of the new Kaohsiung Space Station, suddenly received a message. When he saw it, his eyes widened and he suspected that he had read it wrong, and he read it again carefully.

"Green pine."

"Yes." Liao Qingsong quickly replied.

"Let's go to cabin 43." Zhang Yunfeng turned to the deputy base commander Lu Shi and ordered: "Lu Shi, you are in charge of the command for the time being."

"No problem." The wheat-colored Lu Shi responded immediately.

Zhang Yunfeng hurriedly led Liao Qingsong to cabin 43.

"Boss, what happened?" Liao Qingsong asked while floating on his hands and feet.

"The chairman is here." Zhang Yunfeng replied concisely and concisely.

"..." Liao Qingsong couldn't react immediately: "The chairman is coming up? There is no manned spacecraft coming today, right?"

"This is a secret, so don't ask." Zhang Yunfeng is the only person at the new Kaohsiung Space Station who knows the truth. He personally placed the storage cabinet in cabin 43.

When Liao Qingsong heard that it was a secret, he stopped asking any more questions.

The two of them buried their heads and floated towards cabin 43. After a while, they came to the airtight door of cabin 43. Zhang Yunfeng quickly entered the password.

Bah! The airtight hatch slowly opened.

Huang Junjie's figure appeared in front of the two of them.

"Chairman, welcome to the New Kaohsiung Space Station. I am Zhang Yunfeng, the base director of the New Kaohsiung Space Station."

"Chairman, welcome to the New Kaohsiung Space Station. I am Liao Qingsong, leader of the space operation team of the New Kaohsiung Space Station."

"Hello, thank you for your hard work." Huang Haojie shook hands with them one by one.

"This is our honor." Zhang Yunfeng said respectfully.

"Take me to see the new Kaohsiung Space Station."

"Okay, Chairman, please come with me."

As the three of them floated forward, Zhang Yunfeng introduced the situation of the Kaohsiung Space Station to Huang Junjie.

"Currently, the New Kaohsiung Space Station has a total of 66 cabins, with a total volume of 10,750 cubic meters and a total mass of 3,740 tons. There are also a Xuanwu-class and a Qinglong-class parked at the space station."

Huang Haojie is relatively familiar with these data. He has been paying attention to the construction of the new Kaohsiung Space Station.

"There are currently 11 permanent personnel in the space station, including 6 managers and 5 scientific researchers. Our space station is responsible for some scientific research activities while replenishing fuel for the Xuanwu-class transport spacecraft."

"By the way, have you installed the six shield generators?"

"It has been installed and we have tested it. Now the space station does not have to worry about being hit by space junk." Zhang Yunfeng said happily.

The installation of the shield generator made them feel an unprecedented sense of security. Before, they were on tenterhooks all day long in the space station, fearing being attacked by space junk or asteroids.

After having a shield generator, they can sit back and relax unless they are hit by a massive asteroid, as long as the impact mass does not exceed 10 tons and the relative speed is not too fast.

Now the Galaxy Consortium's Nandou system and Dongtang's Beidou system have closely monitored the orbit near the blue star.

Those massive space junk or asteroids have long been closely monitored, so the possibility of being hit by a large mass is very small.

Under the leadership of Zhang Yunfeng, Huang Junjie took a rough tour of the new Kaohsiung Space Station. He also greeted everyone at the space station.

When he came to the main control cabin, he watched the demonstration of the shield generator. As a space station, the armed forces here are not strong. There are only some laser jammers and six small tungsten rod projectors.

The New Bazhong Space Station, which has the same orbital height as the New Kaohsiung Space Station, is also installing shield generators at this time.

Their six shield generators are custom-made from Supernova Industries.
