My Black Tech Shelter

Just after Lu Chen left the base, Zero followed Lu Chen's instructions and began to expand the underground base.

Because of the successful operation of the second-generation fusion reactor, it can be said that the energy core within the base has been completed, and all that is left is to build other facilities.

So after Lu Chen left, the fusion reactor was largely sealed, leaving only a charging area to charge the construction robots here!

At the same time, in the main base that has been resettled, Lu Chen's scientific researchers are adjusting the laboratory equipment!

After all, Mars is now suitable for long-term human habitation, so many laboratory specifications can be built on a large scale like those on the Blue Star.

Like Mars before, the air pressure was low and unsuitable for human survival.

Therefore, if you build a new laboratory, you need to establish corresponding energy and life support systems.

The energy source is okay, as long as it is directly connected to the main base, but the life support system needs to be re-established.

After all, many types of laboratories have different internal cleanliness requirements.

Therefore, the main body of the main base at this time is already used as an administrative office.

Other laboratories are scattered around, then shut down the internal life support system, and expand the laboratory.

In this way, many experiments that cannot be carried out on Mars for the time being can continue.

Moreover, the newly transformed Mars is a very good experimental environment.

For example, in terms of biological research, although Mars already has an atmosphere,

But the previous Mars was not suitable for life, not to mention that there were very few bacteria.

Bacteria exist in some places because these bacteria are anaerobic bacteria and can survive in a harsh environment like Mars!

Therefore, such an environment is a natural sterile environment, which is very suitable for biological research!

On the other hand, because of the existence of the quantum supercomputing group, Zero can handle things in multiple threads.

So while these laboratories were taking a rest, in a large open space not far away, construction of a large second-generation fusion reactor began!

On the other side, in a factory that has completed debugging, Zero also assembled the equipment given by Lu Chen that can produce gravitational particles in large quantities on the production line to produce this equipment!

Fortunately, Lu Chen previously handed over the entire process and equipment information for producing the gravity matrix to Zero.

So in addition to the production workshops that produce devices that produce gravitational particles,

On both sides of this workshop are the connection device production workshop and the gravity matrix device manufacturing workshop.

These three workshops have just been debugged and are undergoing small-scale trial production!

"Sir, I have completed the manufacturing of the gravity matrix production line! Equipment installation can begin!"

"Very good, speed up the manufacturing, and mass-produce the gravitational matrix. The subsequent curvature engines should be in great need of this matrix!"

"Okay sir, I will expand the production line again and make it on a large scale!"

"Um!"

Next, while Lu Chen was waiting for the installation of the gravity matrix production line to be completed, he was studying how to manufacture the curvature engine.

Although there is a principle theory about the curvature engine,

But it is still difficult to convert it into physical objects.

The most important thing is energy.

With the energy conversion technology of the Three-Eyed Tribe, it is possible to ignore the effect of capacitors and achieve high-power energy output.

However, existing fast nuclear fission reactors may not be able to meet the long-term operation requirements of the warp engine.

The biggest possibility is that halfway through the flight, the spacecraft will exit the curvature flight state because the energy cannot keep up.

That’s why Lu Chen attaches so much importance to the open application of fusion reactors.

For example, a 500-megawatt fast reactor nuclear power plant generates 500 megawatts of electricity per hour.

Now the latest second-generation fusion reactor can output 60 megawatts of energy per second, which can output 216,000 megawatts per hour.

It can be said that this nuclear fusion reactor can be equivalent to more than 400 fast reactor nuclear power plants.

Such a huge amount of energy can fully support the spacecraft for long-term curvature navigation.

However, the current second-generation fusion reactor technology is not very mature and cannot be installed on a spacecraft.

In other words, whether it is the first or second generation nuclear fusion project, it is still in an immature state.

The two second-generation fusion reactors currently in operation require personnel to intervene in the reaction.

Unlike today's fast reactor nuclear power plants, which can operate on their own under the control of weak artificial intelligence!

So for now, Lu Chen's main job is to research the first-generation curvature engine first, and then solve the energy problem.

Solve the problem of presence or absence first, and then optimize it!

Therefore, before the installation of the gravity matrix production line was completed, Lu Chen began to research the curvature engine.

On the holographic console, Lu Chen entered the parameters of the gravity matrix.

Then we started to use the gravity matrix as the core to create a curvature generating device.

In Lu Chen's understanding, the curvature engine is actually a powerful gravity-generating device that can help the spacecraft quickly reach the target galaxy.

This gravity generating device can distort the specific gravity of space through external devices under the action of the internal gravity core, allowing the gravity in space to drive the spacecraft quickly forward in the specified direction.

The decay period of gravitational particles in the gravitational matrix is ​​very strong, so only energy needs to be consumed each time, and there is no need to frequently replace the gravitational matrix!

This will be much less burdensome for Lu Chen.

At most, he can make more resource collection equipment.

However, when studying the curvature engine, Lu Chen also found that if the curvature engine is successfully studied, the corresponding gravitational shield must also be equipped synchronously.

There are also things like space stabilizers that must be equipped later!

After all, in the research, Lu Chen found that when the speed reaches 100 times the speed of light, the space will become extremely unstable.

Continuing to increase it may cause space to rupture and have serious consequences.

However, these are just speculations, because there is no technology that can reach 100 times the speed of light for the time being.

However, the curvature engine designed this time can reach up to 10 times the speed of light, that is, 3 million kilometers per second.

This is enough for Lu Chen for the time being.

If you want to reach the nearest Proxima Centauri, the hometown of the three-eyed people, if you equip this curvature engine, it will only take about five months to reach Proxima Centauri.

It is much faster than the previous few years!

So if you want to get out of the cage of the solar system, the curvature engine is a kind of equipment that must be developed!

Ten days later, Lu Chen, who was conducting curvature research, was awakened by Ling,

"Sir, the gravitational matrix production line has been installed and debugged, and the first batch of gravitational matrices can be manufactured!"

"Oh, so fast!"

"Sir, ten days have passed!"

"Haha, I didn't expect time to pass so quickly. When there is something to do, time is fast.

Let Pegasus No. 1 get ready, I'll go to the site to take a look!"

"Okay sir, Pegasus No. 1 is on the way! It is expected to arrive in one minute!"

"It's pretty fast. I'll go after I finish deriving this formula!"

After completing the derivation of the formula in his hand, Lu Chen changed his clothes and boarded Pegasus No. 1.

Fang Qing also went to the matrix manufacturing site together.

Soon, Lu Chen's car landed on the helipad here.

Then Fang Qing, who had been waiting for a long time, drove the car and took Lu Chen to the manufacturing site!

"Teacher, you are so amazing! You can actually use this method to produce a large number of gravitational particles!"

After Fang Qing arrived at the site, he also conducted corresponding research on the gravitational particle manufacturing device.

With Fang Qing's current authority, he can also see the specific design information of this gravitational particle manufacturing equipment.

So after reading it, Fang Qing also admired Lu Chen very much. He could actually think of using this method to prepare large-scale gravitational particles.

Compared with the gravitational matrix manufacturing device behind, this device is very advanced.

Just like zero and one, if there is no one, then no matter how many zeros there are, they are still zeros.

So for Lu Chen, Fang Qing's admiration for him is even stronger!

"Haha, you can do it in the future, too. Let's go and see how effective this production line is!"

"Okay, teacher!"

The two were led by the on-site robot to visit the production line.

Under the on-site explanation of the robot, Lu Chen and Fang Qing both had a general understanding of the functions of some of the devices on site.

It's not that Lu Chen didn't know what these devices were used for, but he looked at them with an audit mindset.

Seeing the robot's introduction, it was just right for Fang Qing to learn, and he also audited these devices to see if they met his requirements.

After the introduction, Lu Chen finally knew the specific situation of the entire equipment.

As expected, with Zero, the butler, personally operating, there could be no equipment problems.

After leaving the production line, the two came to the discharge port of the production line.

Here, the gravitational matrix will be transmitted here after the manufacturing is completed!

At the same time, Lu Chen also asked Zero to start the first production!

Soon, with Zero's control, the machine began to operate.

At this time, at the raw material port of the gravitational particle maker, a large amount of raw materials were transported here by the transmission belt!

With the humming sound of the machine, a large number of gravitational particles were soon bound to the matrix manufacturing equipment by the powerful electromagnetic field!

After waiting for about half an hour, Lu Chen and Fang Qing finally waited for the first gravitational matrix to be transmitted out.

Looking at the green gravitational matrix placed in the magnetic container, both of them smiled!

"Teacher, we succeeded. Now, the door to the era of interstellar colonization has been kicked open by us!"

"Well, you are right. Now we have to see how the output of this thing is!

Zero, ensure the supply of raw materials, I want to see how the production efficiency is!"

"Okay sir!"

As the machine continued to operate, magnetic containers containing gravitational matrices were transmitted one by one.

Lu Chen made a preliminary estimate that on average, one gravitational matrix can be manufactured every half an hour, which is a very impressive speed.

Such a set of equipment can produce 48 gravitational matrices a day, which is very efficient.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen was very happy and showed a happy smile on his face!
