How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 44 Preparation

It's a big head, and it needs to be designed...

Huogu complained to himself rather depressedly, but he didn't want to stop the design behavior. It did so just to express the tension in his heart so that he could regain his composure.

Huogu doesn't want to be nervous, but he can't be nervous. In his previous life, he was just a scholar specializing in archaeological excavations. Let alone designing rockets, he has never even touched the real thing!

So sorry...

Why didn't I write down the blueprint of the International Astronautical Center back then, it was clearly on the table when I was chatting with Lao Li...

Huogu looked at the clusters of cells placed on the bottom of the water, which had shrunk into a lump of flesh. In the sea of ​​thinking, there was only a blank space and deep regret.

You must know that this cell cluster is an important tool for attacking the enemy, and it must be sure that it is foolproof, and it will succeed once.

If it fails, the enemy will definitely be more vigilant, and at the same time will show a crazier counterattack.

Huogu wasn't afraid of any counterattack, the worst would be to be beaten back to the microbial state. Anyway, on such a big planet, it is impossible for the enemy to hold a microscope and look for it everywhere in the ocean, right?

However, once it fails, it will be very difficult to succeed next time. The attack largely uses the relationship between the enemy and the enemy, and the suddenness of the first attack.

It's really troublesome, it's better to just shoot it out with a cannon...

...

Huogu suddenly came to his senses, and he began to carefully consider the feasibility of what he just said unintentionally.

...shoot out...shoot...

Yeah, I'm such a genius!

Compared with more complicated rockets, the structure of the cannonball can be said to be extremely simple, and there is no need for more advanced and complex structure of the cannonball, as long as it can detonate the internal charge and be launched by explosion.

Anyway, there are neither people nor precision instruments inside. Why should I refer to the structure of the rocket to design? It can be directly blasted to the outer space of the planet in the form of an explosion like a cannonball...

It is best to launch the barrel at a 45-degree angle, so that it can better enter the planet's low-Earth orbit...

Yeah, that's it. The cell cluster can be completely designed according to the style of the cannonball. The hard shell of the cannonball can be made of titanium alloy, and the barrel is the same...

...Is it better to add something like rifling?

Hogu tried hard to recall his knowledge of the rifling of gun barrels...

The rifling is to keep the projected object in a rotating state during the firing process, which can stabilize the trajectory... So it seems that this is necessary. Although it will reduce the initial velocity, it is cost-effective. In other words, it’s still worth it.”

The way to launch cell clusters into outer space was determined, but Huogu didn't feel relaxed about it, and there were still other problems that needed to be solved by it.

Radiation in the universe, α, β, γ rays... I don't know much about anti-radiation materials, only lead, but the weight will be...

After pondering for a while, Huogu, who didn't have any good substitute materials, had no choice but to accept it.

...Forget it, let's use lead, create a sandwich between the titanium alloy eggshells, and seal the lead in.

The increase of meaningless weight means the reduction of meaningful weight. Another way to understand it is that the amount of other substances that can be carried will decrease.

But there is no way, the cells cannot adapt to the environment full of radiation, which is directly related to the amount of radiation they receive. In fact, the clouds in the Hadean Era were thick and dense. Although it cannot be said that there is no radiation from the sun, compared with the earth, it is really There are very few of them, and because of this little contact, the cells are not very adaptable in this respect, and are very prone to disease.

After solving the problem of radiation protection, it is the problem of the vacuum environment of the universe.

Although it cannot be said that there is no gas at all, the density of these gases is quite small, so small that it can almost be regarded as non-existent, and there is only one atom per cubic meter.

The strength of titanium alloy is absolutely sufficient. Although it has not been tested in space, Huogu has tested it using seabed water pressure and doubled the strength requirements of the test data. Only titanium alloy is used, and carbon nanofiber mesh is added to the interlayer to improve the overall deformation ability.

However, even if it is strengthened like this, there is still a place on the cell cluster that Huo Gu can't let go of - the eyes.

The outside of the eyes is covered with thick tempered glass. There are some interlayers inside the glass, which are filled with nitric acid solution. The nitrogen dioxide in the nitric acid solution can effectively absorb all ultraviolet rays and part of visible light, so as to avoid excessive ultraviolet radiation damage to the eyes. Eye.

Next is the ability to move in outer space. In a gravity-free environment, it is quite troublesome to change one's position and reach one's expected position. For this, Huogu has no good way to do it. Six propelling ports are designed on the cell cluster, each facing in different directions, and the fine angle adjustment is left to the air pusher.

As for the propellant, Huogu decided to use liquid hydrogen, and then the oxidant is liquid oxygen. It is not very difficult to make them. First, make oxygen and hydrogen, and then use artificial water pressure to forcibly compress them into a liquid state, and then put them into the pre-made, titanium Alloy-constructed cylinders.

There is also the issue of temperature. Space is close to absolute zero, and that place is very cold. Although the vacuum can block the heat dissipation medium, the temperature will continue to be released in the form of heat radiation.

That is to say, a heat insulation layer must be added to the 'cannonball'...

So the problem is over?

No, there remains the crucial question of weapons that can be used in space.

A pair of limbs made of titanium alloy were installed into the cell cluster by Huogu. The limbs are not simple claws, but a sci-fi monomolecular blade, restrained by the electromagnetic force generated by biological currents.

For Huogu, who can operate at the molecular level, it is not difficult to manufacture this weapon, which is equivalent to building a house with red bricks for ordinary people.

The advantage of the unimolecular blade is obvious, but the disadvantage is also extremely obvious, that is, it needs to consume a lot of energy.

However, even if all the bioelectricity of the cell cluster is exhausted, it can only maintain the single-molecule blade state for four seconds, and it cannot be used in an atmospheric environment, because charged particles will be adsorbed on the single-molecule blade surface due to the magnetism of the electric field. , making it gradually blunt.

If the enemy is a large mechanical body, the claws can break through the opponent's armor, allowing cell clusters to sneak in and destroy it.

The other weapon is a live ammunition weapon, using sodium metal as the filling agent. The special sandwich structure ensures that the sodium and water can fully react, and the metal chromium as the warhead can easily penetrate a ten-centimeter-thick steel plate. This is the result of the test.

The worst case is that neither of the two weapons can destroy each other. Then, the cluster of cells entering the outer space will act as a booster engine to push the outer space satellite to the surface. This is plan B.

Although the cell cluster is a biological tool, throwing it away after it is used is still not in line with Huogu's values. Therefore, plan B will only be used when plan A cannot take effect.
