The Technology Tree of Xueba

When Li Qihua heard Zhou Yu's question, he let out a long sigh, and explained helplessly: The gravity engine has many advantages, and its performance far exceeds that of the particle electric propulsion engine.

Its only shortcoming is that it consumes too much energy. Even if 80% of its load is loaded with particle batteries, it will only let it fly for 3 minutes at the lowest power.

The Gravity Engine simply cannot use particle batteries as its power source.

Before finding a new energy supply method, we can only seal up the gravitational engine, and cannot use it to manufacture advanced spacecraft.

Because the gravitational engine cannot continue to run at all.

Zhou Yu heard Li Qihua's complaint, and he said: You have to continue to optimize the gravity engine, and the research institute will solve the energy problem.

What is the basic operating principle of a gravity engine? How does it drive the spacecraft to fly.

I can rest assured that the gravitational engine we are researching will not be used as a spare tire.

The gravitational engine drives the movement of the spacecraft, which mainly uses the gravitational traction technology and the gravitational repulsion technology.

Through the traction of the celestial bodies in the front and the repulsion of the celestial bodies in the rear, the universal gravitational force between the celestial bodies is used to exert a huge force on the spacecraft.

Make an inappropriate but vivid metaphor.

There is a post by the river, a rope is wrapped around the post, and the other end of the rope is tied to a boat in the river.

The gravitational engine is a small boat in the river, and the celestial bodies that provide gravitational anchors are the pillars tied with ropes by the river.

Only relying on the boat itself, it is impossible to get the boat close to the river bank.

Only when the people on the boat pull the rope can the boat get closer to the river bank.

The gravitational engine is the boat, and the gravitational technology is the rope.

In order for the ship to dock, there must be an external force to provide energy for it.

As long as the supplied energy does not exceed the limit of the gravitational engine, the more energy provided, the stronger the effect of the gravitational engine.

After Zhou Yu knew the data of the gravitational engine, he asked Li Qihua in detail about the difficulty of making the gravitational engine.

After knowing the general situation of the gravitational engine, Zhou Yu left the Spark Science and Technology Research Institute.

During this period of time, the main technology developed by Spark Technology is the new neural interaction technology and the gravitational engine.

Other technologies are not important enough to arouse Zhou Yu's interest.

As soon as he returned to the office, he heard Xianghua report: Master, Lu Jinming, the president of the aerospace business group, has something to report to you.

Let Lu Jinming come over, Zhou Yu ordered.

Lu Jinming quickly walked to Zhou Yu's office. He sat opposite Zhou Yu and sighed: Mr. Zhou, our plan for the lunar advance base is troubled. Now we don't know how to proceed.

The plan of the lunar advance base is one of the most important plans of the Xinghuo Aerospace Business Group in the near future.

The main purpose of this plan is to build an unmanned base on the moon.

This base is responsible for manufacturing intelligent robots, and completes the base construction plan through intelligent robots.

Before astronauts land on the moon, intelligent robots must first build basic necessities, food, housing and transportation.

Places for astronauts to live in, space farms, simple processing plants, and communication facilities.

These are indispensable and must be pre-manufactured by intelligent robots.

Zhou Yu asked in surprise: The progress of the Lunar Advance Base went smoothly before. What problems did you encounter?

Lu Jinming said helplessly: The lunar advance base was planned very well at the beginning, and we cooperated with the Spark Science and Technology Research Institute.

According to the different functions of intelligent robots, a complete set of intelligent robots has been designed.

Scientists also specially designed lunar factories and lunar farms and pastures according to the lunar environment.

With factories and farms and pastures, astronauts can survive on the moon for a long time, at least their ordinary living materials can be supplemented on the moon.

We only need to transport special materials, save the space of the spacecraft, and make the entire transportation more efficient.

But I found that because of one item, the entire supply chain failed.

What kind of item is it that can affect the success or failure of the entire project? Zhou Yu asked.

In fact, he already has objects of suspicion in his heart. There are only a few factors that can affect the success or failure of the project. The factor that is prone to problems should be energy.

Lu Jinming spread his hands and said: This thing is a particle battery, and we really can't do anything about it now.

I didn't notice this little thing at first, but when the project was overall planned, I realized that it took up too much transportation space.

The lunar advance base maintains normal operation every day, and its consumption is about the same as that of a small city.

Hearing what Lu Jinming said, Zhou Yu asked in puzzlement: Particle batteries can be recharged repeatedly, and the lunar advance base does not need to transport too many particle batteries at all.

Lu Jinming shook his head helplessly and said: How to charge the lunar advance base, there is no way to solve the huge power consumption.

At present, the only means of power generation that can be used by the lunar advance base is solar power generation, which cannot make up for the huge power consumption at all, and the energy gap is too large.

Geothermal energy power generation cannot be carried out on the moon, and there is no fossil energy such as coal and oil for power generation on the moon.

The use of nuclear fission reactors is too polluting, and the use of nuclear fusion reactors requires too much maintenance technology.

Now we can only transport fully charged particle batteries to the moon, and then transport back the dry particle batteries.

It's just that in this way, the effect of the lunar advance base cannot be effectively exerted at all, and most of the payload is used to transport particle batteries.

After Zhou Yu listened to Lu Jinming's narration, as expected, the problem they encountered was also a problem of energy supply.

He thought about it carefully, and it wasn't surprising at all.

A major shortcoming of Xinghuo Technology is portable energy.

After developing the particle battery, Xinghuo Technology did not invest in portable energy projects.

In fact, as a portable energy source, particle batteries have reached the apex of a certain technology.

The scientific theories on the earth are no longer making breakthroughs, and it is difficult to develop a portable energy storage method that is more efficient than particle battery energy storage.

Further research and development of portable energy storage is the energy block technology that often appears in science fiction.

Zhou Yu knew that with the current level of technology, it was impossible to manufacture energy blocks, because the basic manufacturing principles were not understood.

Manager Lu, go back and wait for the news, don't give up on the Moon Advance Base.

Xinghuo Institute of Science and Technology is now tackling new energy utilization methods, and will soon achieve results. Zhou Yu explained to Lu Jinming.

When Lu Jinming heard this, he smiled and said, It's good that the company is prepared, then I'll go back and wait for the news.

After seeing Lu Jinming leave, Zhou Yu sat on a chair and meditated.

He told Lu Jinming just now that he had already thought of the inspiration to solve the energy supply problem.

If you can't make a more efficient portable energy storage item, then optimize your generator to be portable.

Now Zhou Yu has to rely on his own knowledge reserve to turn this inspiration into a practical technology.
