Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1286 Mass Thrower

With the chef standing by to prove the feasibility, the problem became much simpler. All we had to do was launch the target.

"Huh" Han Xingzhi breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he was no different from an experimental animal in this whole thing, he only had to look at the screen. But other people had to see through his vision, which made him nervous. Because there were too many big shots looking at him, he was really a little scared.

"Well, let's get started," he gave the order verbally.

The operator was still Tianyi Guiren, but as the first witness, he was responsible for giving the final order.

The Vulkan core then began to move.

Harmonic theory believes that all properties of matter are determined by vibration frequency, and vibration can be decomposed into three kinds of original magic: burning, rotating, and throwing. The expression state of the three kinds of original magic determines the state of matter.

Harmonic theory also believes that burning, spinning, and throwing are mutually restrained. If one of them is suppressed, the remaining two activities will be intensified. If two of them are suppressed, the last movement will expand to a terrifying extent.

Now, the experiment that Ming Dynasty and Rome want to conduct is to achieve the "ultimate throw", which requires curbing the burning and rotation.

Generally speaking, it is not easy to suppress combustion, and it is even more difficult in space. Because there is no air or water in space, it is difficult for materials to use the environment to adjust the temperature. However, because the scale of this test is relatively small, it is not difficult to suppress combustion for a short period of time. The jump you want to make is only a moment.

According to calculations made by Syracuse, the temperature-changing facilities carried on the spacecraft can just allow the spacecraft to make a short-distance jump, and this distance is almost the same as the moon.

Shangluo was not sure whether their calculations were accurate, after all, the jump itself was only on paper. Fortunately, Tianyi Guiren did not need to consider the physical distance when moving. If they wanted to go off work, they could come back at any time, so it was not a big problem. Even if one accidentally ran into deep space, they only needed to terminate the experiment.

On the other hand, the way to suppress rotation is also very clear, which is to reduce the angular momentum to zero - although it is impossible to return to zero, it is as difficult to achieve as absolute zero, but it only needs to be suppressed.

The Vulcan device requires a very high degree of "precision", because at the last moment, every step forward in the temperature limit and every step forward in the angular momentum constraint will exponentially increase the "throws" that will be generated.

Syracuse calculated this process precisely, and the result was that they needed to use a set of 237 gears as momentum wheels to offset the rotation itself.

Similarly, because the Vulcan device cannot provide power during this process, the momentum wheel is also self-powered.

What is carried here is a set of batteries, which is very effective, but it is too heavy.

"By the way," Shangluo suddenly asked, "why not bring another set of Vulcan equipment?"

"Because it will make the adjustment more difficult exponentially." Archimedes replied, "The throwing, temperature, and rotation of the Vulcan devices, especially the rotation, will interfere with each other. Because of the conservation of angular momentum in a closed system, adjustment is as troublesome as a seesaw."

"Now, a Vulcan device the size of a suitcase requires a space as large as a bus to adjust. If we deploy a larger one in the future, won't we also need more space?"

"So, Your Excellency the King of Rome, our current development of the Vulcan device is still quite limited. The size of the equipment is limited, otherwise we can't balance it at all. The best way we can think of is..." "Of course it's a cannon!" Zheng Shijie said excitedly, "Thinking about it, I'm really a prophet! If you want to adjust the temperature and angular momentum, it's best to adjust it in a fixed facility - charging, ejecting, that's a cannon. It seems that our space program will eventually be attributed to the meritorious and time-honored cannon!"

Zheng Shijie's tone was full of pride. Although the cannon he made before was completely different from the current Vulcan device - he was actually using chemical energy for multi-stage acceleration.

However, even though the two are different in themselves, they are similar in propaganda because they are indeed both cannons.

Even Lan Fang's lunar cannon does not require much modification and can be directly transformed into a facility that uses the Vulcan device to throw mass.

"If this succeeds, what do you two think?" Shangluo asked, "Where do you plan to build the cannon? On the moon?"

"Our idea is," Zheng Shijie replied, "it doesn't have to be on the surface of the planet. In fact, we can directly build this [mass thrower] in the form of a space station. Its shape may include multiple rotating rings, just like the armillary sphere. The angular momentum is balanced by the rotation of multiple sets of rings, and the combustion is suppressed by the internal energy. Finally, while throwing, the reaction force is used to charge the device itself. In this way, the mass can be projected into deep space like a trigger."

"Why does it sound familiar?" Shangluo shook his head. "Forget it, maybe the principle is the same. It's all magic anyway. So, our experiment this time... Eh? Hasn't started yet?"

"Perhaps the temperature and angular momentum need to be further balanced?" Archimedes asked doubtfully, "How about, Your Excellency the King of Rome, can you help ask?"

"Yes." Shangluo picked up the microphone, "Xiao Gao, what's the situation now?"

"Tian Yi Guiren said that they are rotating the measuring ball. I could feel it rotating just now, but now I can't feel it anymore. It seems to be moving faster, but I can't feel it."

"Do you feel the fever?"

"I can't feel the heat even if I do. There's no vision here. Eh? Why is there light around me?"

Before he finished speaking, Shangluo noticed a dazzling light coming from above his head - he looked up and saw a huge light source erupting in the sky, like a supernova explosion.

In less than a few seconds, the light dissipated.

"What happened???" Zheng Shijie asked hurriedly, "Did we succeed?"

"No." Shangluo confirmed the coordinates. The thing was indeed within his field of vision. "It seems to have exploded."

"Why???" Zheng Shijie wondered, "Hasn't it been adjusted?"

[In fact, the Vulcan device is very complicated. The working conditions are adjusted to such extremes that the temperature can no longer be suppressed. There is nothing we can do about it.]
