Alien Relic Hunter.

Chapter 814 Refusion

It is these self-discipline collection robots that mine minerals, and it is these self-discipline collection robots that build smelting factories. Even those who repair damaged parts of engineering ships have been artificially modified, added welding torches and multi-functional robotic arms, and written new jobs. An autonomous collection robot for programs.

As for the humans on this engineering ship, they never showed up in this memory.

But Ke Lan knows that there must be living people on this engineering ship-with the core authority of these self-disciplined collection robots, it is forbidden to modify the body and add new programs. This restriction is also to prevent criminals from Refitting engineering robots into fully automatic killing weapons - it's not that the resistance organizations on the earth have done this before, but what they can get is some relatively low-grade goods, and the modified armed robots can be used in battle. The effect is far inferior to a real person who has only received the most basic training.

As for the robot breaking the restrictions on its own and carrying out self-modification-Ke Lan directly ruled out this possibility: the robot can really do this, the omnic crisis has already broken out on the earth, and even the artificial intelligence on the ark does not have this kind of possibility. A skill, not to mention these old-fashioned robots from 1000 years ago.

Ke Lan can't remember how many zombies he devoured, one hundred...or two hundred?In short, the zombies outside are still pouring in, and the living armor I simulated is like a bottomless pit that can never be full, and I accept all the "food" that comes to my door... Incomplete Fragments of memory are being pieced together piece by piece and become more complete.

The engineering ship docked on the asteroid for a full six months, and Ke Lan didn't know what the humans on the ship relied on to survive, but during these six months, the asteroid was dug up and approached One-third of the volume, and the originally 500-meter-long engineering ship has been transformed into a [-]-meter-long alien airship...

The appearance of this airship is very rough...or it is not an exaggeration to describe it as rough, full of a strong "diesel punk" style: the power tube with pitted surface is directly exposed on the outside of the hull, a large number of irregular The steel plates were roughly riveted together, like an old garment heavily patched.Not to mention the modular design that is now being advocated, there is almost no compatibility between these newly added components, and the tolerances between the parts are also terribly large...

Twelve giant propellers shaped like horizontal chimneys are set in a support frame made of steel pipes. Although Ke Lan doubts whether these things can provide thrust for the spacecraft, at least those connected to the propellers are used to The power tubes that transfer the fuel don't look like decorations.

If Ke Lan were to describe this alien spaceship in as short a language as possible, it could be summed up in one sentence: "I think this thing should be able to move."

But in any case, this group of people can survive in such a harsh environment, and transform... No, it should be said that they built such a "thing", really can only use the word "miracle" describe.

In six months, all available resources on this asteroid were exhausted.The people on the engineering ship not only emptied all the ore, but also used tens of thousands of tons of smelting residue as fuel, and filled it into those "big chimneys" after refining.

"Burning stones? This is...heavy nuclear fusion technology?"

You know, in the old era, the technological ceiling of human beings was barely touching the threshold of controllable nuclear fusion. Even the nuclear fusion reactor on the Ark was only a so-called "trial type"... and the so-called "heavy nuclear fusion reactor Fusion" is much more difficult than the "nuclear fusion" that is often mentioned in normal times.

The nuclear fusion mentioned by the general population should be accurately called "hydrogen fusion", which refers to the use of isotopes of hydrogen atoms, that is, protium, deuterium and tritium, to produce helium through nuclear fusion, and to obtain a large amount of energy released in the process.

The reason why we started to study nuclear fusion from the isotope of hydrogen atom is because hydrogen atom is the first element in the periodic table, with the smallest atomic number, the smallest number of neutrons and protons in the nucleus, and the relative atomic mass is relatively "light", which promotes its Fusion requires the least amount of initial energy...in short, "the lowest bar."

And like those elements that are at the back of the periodic table and have a relatively "heavy" relative atomic mass, although the initial energy required will be much more than hydrogen, the energy released during the fusion process is not comparable to that of hydrogen fusion energy-this is "Refusion" is a typical high-input high-return model.

But with the scientific and technological level of human civilization in the old era, even the controllable hydrogen fusion is only half-level, let alone refusion with a very high threshold... Otherwise, human beings would not treat this kind of thing after discovering energy crystals. The seemingly "primitive" energy supply method has been changed to the main energy supply method of the Ark.

If the fusion reactor can be miniaturized and portable while achieving high stability, there is a high probability that there will be no energy crystallization, but it is because it cannot be done that it is essentially no different from a battery. Energy crystals occupy the mainstream.

If the humans on this engineering ship have mastered refusion technology, it means that their technological level is at least 500 years ahead of the current Ark... No, it may even be more than 1000 years!

But for an engineering ship drifting in space, where even survival supplies are a problem, how did they develop refusion technology?

Even eating is a problem, can you still have the energy to do other things?

What's more, there are no conditions for conducting such experiments on the engineering ship-there are countless technical difficulties to be overcome in order to master heavy nuclear fusion technology, and each difficulty requires a huge amount of manpower and material resources. Astronomical numbers, things that even the Earth civilization of the old era, which concentrated most of the resources of the entire solar system, could not do. How can a small, dilapidated engineering ship be able to do it?

Ke Lan stared closely at the alien spaceship in the picture, and he was waiting for the people on the spaceship to ignite the twelve "big chimneys" - in his opinion, even if no explosion was triggered, the propellers would not be able to gain any output at all.

[PS heavy nuclear fusion technology is also the principle of the planetary engine "burning stones" in Liu's wandering earth.The knowledge related to heavy nuclear fusion technology in this chapter is basically from science fiction works. If there are any fallacies, please point them out, but don’t force yourself... To write a thousand words, you need to check tens of thousands of dry materials. It's...]
