Chapter 79 Electromagnetic Anchor Hook
It is impossible for Chi Heng's exploration plan to be interrupted because of Kevin Church, a lunatic, and his work was not delayed, but he started to encounter difficulties.

At first, he thought about the ten-day plan, that is, to climb from the foot of the mountain at the entrance of the canyon, and it would take about four days to reach the destination to start the search. Including the return journey, the whole plan is expected to be completed in ten days.

Although a lot of materials need to be carried in ten days, it is actually very difficult to rely on one person alone, but with the help of "broken copper and iron", these heavy materials can be carried by "broken copper and iron", Chi Heng Travel light.

However, he almost forgot that "bad copper and iron" needs to be charged every day!

Its powerful performance comes from two FTC standard carbon fiber composite structure batteries. Even if it is fully charged, it can only be used for two days, which cannot meet the ten-day plan at all.

Just relying on Chi Heng to complete this climbing plan alone, he will lose 100% confidence. This is not the earth, but an "extreme boundary" full of various complicated situations.

It seems that the plan of going up the mountain from the foot of the canyon and then reaching the top of the research base is not feasible, so he can only choose the second option, climbing directly from the cliff of the arc-shaped gate!
This plan is very dangerous, but after discussions between Chi Heng and "Broken Copper and Iron", new progress has been made.

Chi Heng's initial thought was that it would be almost impossible to climb up by himself, but "Broken Copper and Iron" proposed that the principle of a whaling gun could be used to solve this problem.

In human history, because of the slaughter of whales, a variety of weapons have been developed based on this demand. Among them, whaling guns and whaling guns are the products. Some whaling guns with exaggerated designs, such as the anti-material sniper guns used by the Soviets The whaling gun designed can launch the hook gun five to 600 meters away with a rope, and can also penetrate the steel plate within a range of 500 meters.

The suggestion of "broken copper and iron" is to modify the whaling gun, fire the hook gun, and penetrate the cliff, so that you can climb up with the rope, which is obviously much safer than directly climbing the vertical cliff.

"Sir, we lack a 3D printer. Otherwise, we can try to manufacture an electromagnetically driven anchor hook launcher. With the power provided by the rover, the power of the anchor hook launcher will be large enough to complete the needs at one time."

"3D printer? If you can enter the research base, everything will be there."

Chi Heng shook his head, but quickly pondered: "Maybe there is no need for a 3D printer... You tell me all the parts you need, and I can order them outside."

Now is the era of industrial technology in the 21st century. As long as you give money, what can't be made?
With this idea in mind, Chi Heng immediately took the design drawings to Winchester Machinery Company the next day, requesting to order related parts.

Although the Winchester Machinery Company is small in scale, it can make this kind of guide rail with not particularly high precision, and manual machine tools can make it.

This is also the advantage of being in the United States. Chi Heng took out the money, and no one asked why he ordered these parts. In addition, he is still a "big customer" of Winchester Machinery Company, and the other party agreed very readily. It can be delivered in two days.

But there are some things that cannot be purchased in Dock Town, so Chi Heng must drive to the state capital to have a look.

On the afternoon of the second day, Chi Heng drove away from Dock Town, and arrived at Augusta at night. Unfortunately, although Augusta is the state capital, it is only a small city in terms of population Forget it, he didn't have the capacitor he wanted to buy, so he could only continue to Boston.

Fortunately, Boston found the capacitor he wanted. Interestingly, the electromagnetic gun, which the U.S. Navy has been developing for many years, has conducted many experiments in Boston.

However, the electromagnetic railgun experimented by the U.S. military uses a 32MJ capacitor power supply, the projectile speed is 2500m/s, and the muzzle kinetic energy is 7MJ, which can hit a target 100 kilometers away.

Chi Heng is just climbing a mountain, so there is no need for such exaggerated equipment, not to mention hundreds of capacitor banks alone, enough to occupy the area of ​​a warehouse.

After staying in Boston for three days, Chi Heng finally purchased all kinds of electrical components needed, such as inductors, pulse power upper components, triggers, soft dump resistors and so on.

He is not very familiar with these, let alone whether the purchased electrical components can be used, so he can only drive back with a pickup truck full of parts.

Starting at four o'clock in the morning, Chi Heng finally drove [-] kilometers back to Lake Shea at night.

It was too late to unload the goods, so Chi Heng went to the basement first, had dinner, kicked away the "old man" who came to make out, and fell asleep on the bed.

"Broken copper and rotten iron" went to unload the goods, moved them to the "absolute boundary", and began to work overnight.

After Chi Heng woke up, washed up and had breakfast, walked into the "Gate of Moros" with a lazy waist, he saw the astonishingly efficient "broken copper and rotten iron" that had initially completed the transformation of the electromagnetic anchor launcher.

"Sir, Junk has already tested it. Launching anchors horizontally can reach 2400 meters and vertically can reach 1200 meters..."

"so smart?"

Chi Heng was shocked by this data.

"Sir, because of the temporary assembly and the insufficient quality of the assembly materials, the electromagnetic anchor launcher cannot be used for a long time, and the probability of failure is very high..."

"But you can try it, right?"

Chi Heng frowned: "That's not enough. Even if there is a rope for the vertical height of thousands of meters, I can't climb it in one day, and even my physical strength can't meet such requirements."

"Sir, you can let Junk go up first, and then use the fixed pulley device to bring you up."

"Fixed pulley?"

As soon as Chi Heng heard the phrase "broken copper and rotten iron", he immediately understood what it meant, "It's a good way, let's do it like this."

Without further ado, Chi Heng went to Dok Town to purchase the fixed pulley device, while the "broken copper and rotten iron" continued to bury their heads in finishing the finishing work. Early in the morning of July 7, Chi Heng made preparations in advance, one person, one machine, one Dog, quickly rush to the destination in the rover.

The 3-hour journey time is fleeting, and when they arrive at the arc-shaped gate of the research base, they don't stop, there is no time to rest, and they have to start the test immediately.

Charge the capacitor power supply first, and after the charging is complete, the electromagnetic anchor hook transmitter that has been adjusted in angle has been fired at the top of the cliff.

Unexpectedly, the first test was very smooth. In the blink of an eye, the anchor flying at a speed of kilometers per second and the wire rope plunged into the cliff in an instant, leaving only two or three meters away from the top of the canyon. distance.

Since the first round went well, the second round came soon.

The second shot is less than two meters on the horizontal line from where the first shot is inserted. This is a redundant device for the safety rope. If the first anchor loosens, the second anchor can be used as a safety backup for fall protection.

Of course, considering the position of the first entry, after all, there should be a distance of two or three meters from the top of the canyon, which still cannot be used as the main line, so it is the third round.
