Infinite Life: Trapped in a lifetime

Under the condition that the materials meet the requirements,

After the theoretical design was completed and the technical problems were overcome,

Transforming this new type of electric propulsion system from theoretical design into actual creation and construction,

In this era of productivity, it is already a simple matter.

Even until now, due to various reasons, the cost of synthesizing the fourth material is quite high, and the synthesis efficiency is really not high.

Even if it is limited by the current technical and material limits, the new electric propulsion system that has been theoretically designed now is no longer so "께", but a de facto behemoth.

But it does not affect the intelligent era, which is all over the solar system. Under the intelligent control of Suigu, the powerful industrial system is a little more comprehensive and activated.

Just make the matter of building a new electric propulsion system a piece of cake.

During the construction process of this new electric propulsion system, Mo Dao did not try to enter human hibernation again. It was really not necessary.

While only paying a little attention to the progress of the construction of the electric propulsion system, more energy has been put on another issue, further research on energy technology.

…

75뎃놅Early summer, 뀖month,

After completing the theoretical design of the new electric propulsion system and conducting theoretical simulations at the computational level,

This theoretical design of the electric propulsion system was handed over to Suigu.

놘Suigu, with the assistance of researchers in related fields from the Qiusuo Research Institute, designed it in accordance with the theory of electric propulsion systems.

In this intelligent era, mankind's huge industrial system has assigned the task of building new electric propulsion systems.

The manufacturing tasks of each subsystem and each part of the entire electric propulsion system were split up by Suigu immediately.

According to the different industrial divisions of labor in various regions, different intelligent industrial clusters in various regions were mobilized at the same time, and production started immediately.

The ground industrial cluster and the lunar industrial cluster constitute the earth-lunar industrial center.

and the Huanxing Industrial Center, which jointly participated in this manufacturing process.

Under the coordinated mobilization of Suigu's huge computing power, the entire huge human industrial system operates closely and precisely, like a whole machine.

Resources are mined from the same intelligent equipment on various planets and satellites. When this huge industrial machine is started, it has been deployed in place.

In the fastest possible time, from the most basic resources, through a series of industrial links, it became a component in the new electric propulsion system.

In fact, the productivity mobilized by this behemoth of production only occupies a very small part of the total industrial productivity.

Perhaps a few dozen years ago, the entire human civilization would not have been able to complete the construction task.

At this moment, it does not even have any obvious impact on other production, construction, and transportation tasks going on in the entire human industrial system.

It's just like a daily land exploration plan and an ordinary manufacturing task in daily production activities.

If we look at the current process of mobilizing the human industrial system to produce and build new electric propulsion systems from a more macro perspective,

It's even more spectacular.

Busy starships sailing in the solar system,

Just like a conveyor belt, an energy supply belt, inside a huge machine throughout the inner circle of the solar system,

It's also like human civilization, which at this moment can be regarded as a planetary interstellar civilization, extends its arms,

They connect all the planets in the solar system, currently developed by human civilization, and the Research Institute, forming a whole.

Then this huge whole was selected in advance right in front of me, where the new electric propulsion system will be built.

That is, not far from the earth's orbit, about 100,000 kilometers away from the near-Earth space platform, this new electric propulsion system is being 'built'.

Speed ​​up the entire process of ‘building’.

It seems that the construction process of each part and subsystem of the electric propulsion system has been ignored.

From the very beginning, the overall framework,

When the construction demand reaches that stage, Suigu has perfect control over the entire industrial system.

With some time redundancy and accuracy, corresponding parts or related equipment can be produced from the ground, the lunar industrial center, or the star industrial center.

Then take the interplanetary starship,

The relevant corresponding components and equipment were taken to the designated location, just in time to meet the construction progress requirements of the new electric propulsion system.

Therefore, the overall construction process of the new electric propulsion system is extremely smooth.

Under the coordination of Sui Gu, almost no time was wasted during the entire process.

If you completely record the construction process of the new electric propulsion system, you will see that the new electric propulsion system is changing every time during construction and never completely stagnates.

In this macroscopic, quite spectacular process,

The final completion time of the entire new electric propulsion system,

It did not exceed 75뎃.

…

When it is November, it is November.

It has only been more than four months and less than five months since the Qiusuo Research Institute ordered Suigu to build and name the new electric propulsion system.

Suigu has already reported that the new electric propulsion system has been constructed at the designated location and has passed an overall inspection.

Qiusuo Research Institute did not waste time,

Just that month, the first test run of the new electric propulsion system was conducted.

Mo Dao, the research team related to the electric propulsion project within the Qiusuo Research Institute has a group of core researchers and researchers, all of whom are working on the near-Earth space platform at a relatively close distance.

Presided over and witnessed the test.

…

Although a distance of 100,000 kilometers in space is close enough,

it is still difficult to observe the test of the electric propulsion system directly with the naked eye.

In the command hall of the test, the virtual image projected is an unmanned intelligent spacecraft, which is transmitted back.

At this moment, Mo Dao, together with other researchers, looked at the new electric propulsion system in the space picture.

At this moment, the test of the electric propulsion system has begun under Mo Dao's command.

The plasma behind the electric propulsion system is ejecting at an exaggerated speed.

Although the picture lacks contrast in space and seems a bit monotonous,

but the huge size of the electric propulsion system itself and the plasma flow it ejects are enough to shock the researchers present.

At this moment, the electric propulsion system is powered by two helium-3 reactors.

In the design of the new electric propulsion system, the working fluid required is greatly reduced,

but the energy demand is relatively increased. The most ideal state is to use more advanced heavy nuclear fusion to provide it with energy.

At this moment, the test run is mainly an electric propulsion engine plus two helium-3 fusion reactors in a shell,

and there is no consideration of building a matching spacecraft for it.

But even so, at this moment, this single new electric propulsion engine plus the energy supply system is already large enough,

and it is comparable in size to the interstellar spacecraft with dozens or hundreds of electric propulsion engines installed before.

The huge size is not a reflection of technological progress,

but it is due to the limitations of material technology. Even with the fourth material, it can only be built this big in the end.

"Turn off the reverse thrust part."

At the beginning of the experiment, an original electric propulsion system on the opposite side of the shell of the new electric propulsion system was turned on, allowing it to stay in place for a short time for some observations.

At this moment, as the new electric propulsion system is gradually started to a greater extent, it is no longer necessary, and it also prevents the electric propulsion system materials from being directly damaged.

After the reverse thrust part is turned off,

the new electric propulsion system begins to move forward in the picture.

At the beginning, the new electric propulsion system does not move very fast,

but soon, it shows its exaggerated power.
