Super Battleship Reborn

Chapter 23 Titanium and zirconium collection plan After the Village-level fusion-powered spacecraft Hope, Xiao Yu really realized the convenience brought by technological progress. When the Hope was originally designed, it was designed according to the dual-use type of interstellar space and near-Earth space. In this way, whether it is launching satellites or transporting materials between stars, it is dozens of convenient and quicker than before. more than twice.

At least, using Hope to launch eighteen satellites around Saturn saved Xiao Yu a huge amount of materials needed to make eighteen rockets.

After making up his mind to provide signal coverage for the entire Saturn system, Xiao Bianyu increased the speed of making satellites. Now Xiao Yu has completed the accumulation of basics. Except for the two elements, titanium and zirconium, which are relatively scarce, a total of 93 bases on Titan are producing huge amounts of materials all the time, and they are inexhaustible. Inexhaustible, with these sources of materials, Xiao Yu can start to develop new technologies with peace of mind.

Countless robots are busy shuttling, as long as there is enough energy, they will never get tired or ask for a rest. Under the hard work of these efficient construction workers, satellites are manufactured one by one, and Hope is responsible for transporting these satellites to the appropriate location.

The titanium zirconium acquisition program has officially begun. These satellites made by Xiao Yu, in addition to having basic communication functions, also serve as the function of searching for the two elements of titanium and zirconium.

Xiao Yu added extremely sensitive element analysis instruments to these satellites. Xiao Yu believes that as long as these two elements exist in the Saturn system, they will definitely be found by himself.

It took Hope three full months to put the nearly 80 satellites into orbit one by one. Since there are no stable Lagrangian points in the Saturn system, all but seven of these moons orbit Saturn.

So far, the entire Saturn system has been completely covered by Xiao Yu's signal. As long as it is within the Saturn system, as long as it does not enter the interior of the star, no matter where the Hope is, it can contact Xiao Yu.

The entire Saturn is a huge system. When the earth was not destroyed, human beings have already proved that there are at least 62 satellites in the entire Saturn system. After Xiao Yu was stationed on Titan, he discovered many other rocks orbiting Saturn, but these rocks were too small to be considered meteorites, not satellites.

Of the sixty-two satellites, only seven have enough mass to reach hydrostatic equilibrium. That is, only seven satellites are spherical.

The so-called hydrostatic equilibrium means that when a star reaches a certain mass, its gravitational force will tend to a balance everywhere. In order to achieve this balance, it will inevitably form a shape similar to a sphere. This is why all large stars discovered by humans are spherical or nearly spherical, and only asteroids have irregular shapes because they do not have enough mass.

These seven satellites of Saturn are Xiao Yu's key search targets, and seven satellites have been specially launched into orbits around them. For the remaining small satellites, Xiao Yu directed the Hope to start a tortuous journey, visiting them one by one.

But the result disappointed Xiao Yu. It seems that when the gods in the dark created the Saturn system, they alone forgot to add the two elements titanium and zirconium. Xiao Yu searched the entire Saturn system and found no trace of these two elements.

In fact, it can’t be said that none of them have been found, but the point that has been found has absolutely no value for mining. The reserves are low and mining is difficult. If you find it, you will not find it. After three months of searching, Xiao Yu wisely gave up the idea.

Then, there are only two options left. One is to develop towards the inner planets, to search for Mars or the original Earth orbit, and the other is to develop to the outer planets, to search for Uranus and Neptune.

After weighing the pros and cons, Xiao Yu chose the first option.

The reason is very simple. The orbit of Neptune is 1.4 billion kilometers from the orbit of Saturn, and the orbit of Earth is 1.3 billion kilometers from Saturn. The distance difference is not too far, and even the earth is closer. And in Earth orbit, Xiao Yu can be sure that there are a lot of titanium and zirconium elements there. This is what proto-Earth human beings have already proven. At Neptune, although the fusion fuel can be supplemented, whether there are these two elements at Neptune needs to be explored separately.

Okay. Xiao Yu sighed and began to make plans to return to Earth.

But there is a big difficulty with this plan. That is, the distance is too far. It is so far away that even if it propagates at the speed of light, it will take more than 70 minutes to complete the run. That is to say, Xiao Yu sent a signal to the Hope in Earth orbit on Titan, and the Hope will be in the seventies. Received in minutes. This is unacceptable to Xiao Yu, who pays attention to absolute control. Moreover, the loss of Hope, the Saturn system and the like, the day-to-day business of launching satellites, repairing satellites, etc., can not be carried out at all.

But if Xiao Yu leaves Titan's main base and follows Hope to Earth orbit, the construction on Titan loses Xiao Yu's presidency and will come to a complete standstill. This is also what Xiao Yu is unwilling to accept.

Ultra-distance communication, I don't know when it will be developed. Xiao Yu lamented. Now Xiao Yu is very eager to obtain ultra-distance communication technology.

The so-called ultra-distance communication, as the name implies, is the communication beyond the distance, also known as real-time communication, that is, no matter how far the distance is, the communication between them is real-time without delay.

Many people have already started to study this kind of technology on Earth. The most promising breakthrough at present is to realize ultra-distance communication based on the quantum entanglement effect of quantum mechanics.

However, this technology is still in theory, and it is not even possible to do it in a laboratory, let alone a practical application. There is no way for Xiao Yu to achieve it now. However, Xiao Yu has a plan. After he reaches the Tianyuan 4 star system, he will build a super-large particle collider around Tianyuan 4. After his basic physical theory has made a breakthrough, he will study ultra-distance communication technology.

In fact, human science has not made great progress in recent decades. It has been developing on the two cornerstones of relativity and quantum theory, and at most it has only done some tinkering in details. Human society seems to be thriving, but in fact it is only a technological development, not a theoretical development.

And over-distance communication, there is no doubt that it cannot be realized under the current framework of basic physics theory.

Xiao Yu shook his head slightly, threw these thoughts out of his mind, and began to think about how to use the current technical level to solve the current problems.

Only by using programming technology, at a distance scale of 1.3 billion kilometers, I can only have some general control over the Hope. The specific details need to be programmed in advance and let the Hope do it by itself. Well, there is also the Hope. After leaving, the interstellar transportation problem here in the Saturn system, then build another spacecraft.

The radiation intensity of the 'No. 1' wood spirit is not enough to build another spaceship, so let's use the Hope to catch some wood spirits. However, Jupiter is also 700 million kilometers away from here, and a signal takes 40 minutes. Only relying on procedures to face these dangerous creatures, I really don’t feel relieved.”

Xiao Yu sighed and continued to think.

At the speed of the Hope, it will take a month to reach Jupiter, plus the time required to capture, it will take about two and a half months to go back and forth. Well, then, leave the main base and go to Jupiter. Then, go to the original Earth orbit to mine I just rely on the program to do it myself, I really can't afford to delay it for so long.

After thinking slowly, Xiao Yu made a plan.

After the general framework was drawn up, Xiao Yu began to tinker with the details, that is, how to make the most of the limited resources and time.

Since we're going to Jupiter, we'll just pave the way for the trip to Earth. Well, put a high-power communication satellite at the Sun-Saturn Lagrangian point, and then put a satellite at the Sun-Jupiter Lagrangian point. It basically solved the communication problem.”

After making up his mind, Xiao Yu immediately started the construction of these two satellites. With the previous experience of building nearly a hundred satellites, the construction process of these two satellites was smooth, and it took only one month to complete the construction.

After everything was ready, Xiao Yu put the two satellites into the Hope, and made proper arrangements for the 93 bases on Titan, such as shutting down some machines, suspending mining, and writing some programs. Let some robots be responsible for the daily maintenance of the base, etc., and make all arrangements. Xiao Yu came to the photon computer on the Hope through the optical cable.

Although the main control computer on the Hope is also a photonic computer, its computing power is countless times worse than that in the main base. However, Xiao Yu did not plan to use this computer to do anything with a large amount of calculation, and Quan should have a rest.

Manipulating Hope to leave Titan, Xiao Yu first reached the Sun-Saturn Lagrangian point. After stopping, he placed a satellite here, and then kept accelerating. Three minutes later, Hope's speed reached Three hundred and fifty kilometers per second, it quickly left the Saturn system and flew towards Jupiter.

The long journey lasted a month. Seeing Jupiter's familiar face again, Xiao Yu couldn't help but get excited.

I've said it a long time ago, I'll be back! With the latest materials transformed from the black worm's corpse, this time, I see what you can do to me? Be my building material!

When he came to the orbit 100,000 kilometers away from Jupiter, Xiao Yu shouted arrogantly.
