My Black Tech Shelter

On Mars, the mining company that had moved to Mars looked at Lu Chen's upgraded second-generation space factory and was very envious.

In addition to the maintenance costs mentioned above, transportation capacity is also a huge threshold.

These companies are not like Lu Chen, who have so many cargo spacecraft that can transport the smelted metal materials back to the warehouse.

So we can only rely on the existing spacecraft to arrange corresponding plans!

At the same time, while they were envious, there were many orbiting spacecrafts shuttled back and forth in the Mars synchronous orbit where the second-generation factory had been.

If you look closely, you will find that the moving objects of these spacecraft are similar to those seen a few days ago. Most of them are components of some space factories!

Judging from this situation, Lu Chen plans to continue building the space factory!

Seeing this, the business owners present felt heartbroken.

But these are also the bitter fruits planted before.

Because of the early difficulties, I embarked on the path of purchasing foreign technology.

But even if you have this money, you still can’t buy advanced technology.

This has resulted in these companies being reduced to primary processing companies.

Although it has begun to focus on research and development in the past ten years, it was discovered too late, and there has been a gap of several generations with foreign giants.

Even now, in the traditional mining and smelting industry, there is still a slight gap with foreign giants!

But now these companies don’t have to worry about this.

With official support, it can already surpass those foreign giants in the metallurgical industry.

It’s just that the technology in prospecting still needs to be improved.

However, these have little to do with Lu Chen, and he has no business dealings with these companies.

Speaking of which, the business of these companies is really dispensable to Lu Chen.

In terms of technology, our mining and metallurgy are way behind them, and in terms of output, we can beat them to the bottom.

In other words, Lu Chen's mining and metallurgical branch produces and sells its own products and has not entered the market. Otherwise, it is difficult to say whether these enterprises will exist!

At this time, Lu Chen was in the warp engine laboratory, conducting final technical research.

After a month of research, this technology has now reached a critical moment. Lu Chen will never allow any mistakes.

So starting from today, everyone in the laboratory is entering the final sprint state!

"Teacher, the gravity adjustment device has completed the final adjustment and the experiment can be carried out again!"

"Where are the other devices?"

"Energy conversion technology has undergone some improvements and can now output more powerful energy,

At the same time, we have made some improvements in the fast reactor nuclear power plant, increasing the power of the shipboard fast reactor nuclear power plant to 450 megawatts.

Although there is no comparison with the energy system of a dwarf planet, this is the best energy core we can make at this stage! "

"You're doing well, don't be discouraged. After all, the standard energy source for the curvature engine should be a nuclear fusion reactor, not a fission reactor like this.

So the current situation is that a small horse pulls a big cart.

But even so, some problems can be highlighted! "

"Well, teacher, I understand!"

"Okay, let's go down and get ready. Test the curvature engine again and see how it works this time?"

"It's the teacher!"

"Each team is prepared, the energy supply team is prepared, and the energy supply will not be interrupted!"

"yes!"

"Gravity team, turn on the space suppressor and block the gravitational space around the curvature engine!"

"Yes, the space suppressor is on and the surrounding gravitational space is being reinforced! 20%...50%...100%, the gravitational space reinforcement is completed!"

"Okay everyone, now is the moment to witness history! Start the curvature engine! Power 20%!"

"Yes, the power engine is activated, and the gravity of space is distorting!"

"Power up!"

"Yes, the power is increasing by 50%!"

"The effect is good. Look at this curve. It's perfect. It can provide strong speed to the spacecraft and make the spacecraft run faster!"

"That's right, teacher, it seems that the initial requirements have been met this time, and the next step of the shipboard experiment can be carried out!"

"Well, I didn't trust this model too much at first, but I didn't expect that the results were similar to the simulation experiments. It seems that my original ideas were all right!"

"Teacher, do you want to start the next test experiment?"

“How is energy consumption now?”

Lu Chen raised his head, looked at the curvature engine running in front of him, and asked the energy team!

"Mr. Lu, at present, energy consumption is still very high.

It has been ten minutes since the warp engine was started, and a fast reactor nuclear power plant of the same size has consumed 15% of its energy! "

"Not bad. Compared with the previous energy consumption, the energy consumption this time has been reduced a lot!

Looking at it this way, in order to ensure safety, with the current energy, a warp flight can only be carried out for one hour, and it is necessary to stop and replace the fuel rods inside the reactor! "

"Teacher, I think that after the warp engine is completed, we can join forces with the Nuclear Energy Research Institute to speed up the research and development of fusion reactor shipboard technology!"

"This is also a good idea, but for now it is better to complete the shipboard test of this curvature engine!

Fang Qing, go make arrangements and transfer the spacecraft where the gravity shield was tested last time, install a curvature engine on it, and replace the energy system on it with the latest one.

Then test the actual effect! "

"Okay teacher, I'll do it right now!"

After hearing Lu Chen's instructions, Fang Qing immediately started to take action.

Although he had scientific researchers under his command, Fang Qing did not leave it to others, but did it himself.

For Fang Qing, this curvature engine research made him aware of his shortcomings.

I learned a lot of new knowledge from following Lu Chen.

Therefore, Fang Qing planned to do this shipboard test himself.

Other researchers also volunteered to help.

For these scientific researchers, under the guarantee of Lu Chen's high welfare and high rewards, they have long been separated from the pursuit of material things.

Now all their energy is focused on this experiment,

Lu Chen looked at these people and felt very happy.

These people today have grown up and will be independent talents in the future.

As for the material rewards given to these people, Lu Chen said that only with investment can there be rewards. Only by ensuring that these researchers have a worry-free material life can they have the energy to conduct research!

And the so-called bastards among these people will not stay long in this environment, and will soon be isolated and eliminated!

Seeing that many people had gone to the scene, Lu Chen continued to observe the running curvature engine.

When a 450-megawatt fast reactor nuclear power plant was completely consumed, the curvature engine device gradually stopped operating because the energy supply disappeared.

"Mr. Lu, the nuclear fuel rods in the fast reactor nuclear power plant center that we prepared earlier have been consumed.

However, there is a lot of nuclear fuel rod material gathered on the outer wall! "

"It's okay, this is the characteristic of a fast reactor nuclear power plant, which can realize the self-multiplication of fuel rods!

Let the robots collect them and remake them into fuel rods! "

"Okay Mr. Lu!"

After the test, Lu Chen adjusted some minor problems in the experiment.

Then start waiting for the results from Fang Qing!

At the same time, Lu Chen is also calculating how far the current shipboard energy technology can fly when it enters curvature flight!

The current curvature engine can reach ten times the speed of light.

The speed of light is 300,000 kilometers per second, ten times that is 3 million kilometers per second.

Under the condition of ensuring safe energy online, 90% of the energy can be consumed in one hour.

So you only need to locate the position of the spacecraft after flying in the curvature for half an hour to know whether it was successful!

"Three million kilometers per second, then half an hour is 540,000 kilometers, which translates into 5.4 billion kilometers.

And one astronomical unit is only 150 million kilometers. Such a long distance is a distance of 36 astronomical units.

180 million kilometers per minute, it seems to be very fast! "

Lu Chen originally thought that ten times the speed of light was a bit low, but after calculation, the speed is actually not low!

"Mr. Lu, there's news from Team Leader Fang that the place is ready and the experiment can begin!"

"Very well, let's go to the scene. All equipment here will be shut down to ensure safety!"

"yes!"

Because at the beginning of the experiment, the spacecraft was manufactured with synchronized equipment.

So after the laboratory test was successful, another set of equipment was quickly installed on the test spacecraft!

So after Lu Chen and others arrived at the scene, everyone was ready and could start the experiment!

"Teacher, we are ready here and can start the experiment!"

"Well done, Fang Qing, the destination this time is just in the void near Pluto.

It just so happens that the distance from Mars to Pluto at this time is almost more than 5 billion kilometers, which is enough to conduct a round-trip curvature test! "

"Okay teacher, then I'll start the experiment here!"

"Well, go ahead!"

After getting Lu Chen's approval, Fang Qing trotted forward and began to direct the people on site.

"Attention, all groups, I am Fang Qing, the team leader of this experiment. Now I announce that the warp engine on-ship experiment has officially begun! All groups, get ready!"

"yes!"

"Launch the battleship and enter space!"

"Yes, start the spacecraft and accelerate away from Mars...

Report that the spacecraft has left Mars and entered the outer void of Mars...

The spacecraft has left the gravitational range of Mars and can start curvature acceleration! "

"Very good, adjust the course of the spacecraft, target Pluto, and start the curvature engine!"

"Yes! The course adjustment is completed, start the curvature engine, 3, 2, 1...the curvature engine starts!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw inside the holographic projection that the spaceship flashed for a while and then disappeared!

Next, everyone was waiting nervously,

Half an hour later,

"Report, we have regained contact with the spacecraft, and the positioning spacecraft is currently near the target point on Pluto, with an error of 3,000 kilometers!"

Upon hearing this report, everyone on site cheered.

"Teacher, we succeeded!"

Lu Chen also patted Fang Qing's shoulder excitedly!
