I really have special powers

Chapter 223 Entering deep space
The spacecraft was basically automated, and no human control was required for acceleration, deceleration, and orbit correction. Yu Ze had not slept all day, so he went to take a rest. When he woke up eight hours later, the spacecraft had already completed two ignition accelerations.

At this time, the speed of the spacecraft has reached 9 kilometers per hour. At this speed, it means that the straight-line time from the earth to the moon is only 4 hours. When he looked back at the earth from the porthole, the earth in his perspective had already changed. It became the size of a ping pong ball and was obviously separated from the earth-moon system.

After retracting his gaze, Yu Ze went to check the system information.

Originally, deep space navigation like this was a rare opportunity for scientific experiments, but this, the first deep space manned mission in human history, was to save mankind, not for deep space experiments. Every gram of material on the spacecraft All very important and budget-conscious.As a result, the scientific missions proposed by some people were rejected, and only some scientific experiments that used existing instruments and did not affect the flight mission were allowed.

As these scientific tasks were basically automated, Yu Ze didn't have to worry much.

After watching the scientific experiments, he went to see the power system.

The interesting thing about this manned spacecraft is certainly inseparable from its unique power system. For deep space navigation like this, especially for such a huge manned spacecraft, electricity is an unavoidable difficulty.

It is impossible to move a nuclear power plant onto a spacecraft with existing technology, not even a miniaturized nuclear generator. Then there are only two possibilities left, one is an isotope nuclear battery, and the other is a solar array to generate electricity.

However, both types of power generation have considerable problems. The power of the first type of isotope nuclear battery is too small to meet the power supply required for an entire manned spacecraft. If enough isotope batteries are piled up, the size and The power-to-weight ratio brought about by mass is a disaster, enough to bring the entire deep space travel plan to an end.

In this way, the isotope nuclear battery can only be used as a key backup power source to provide backup for the main system.

The second type of solar array generates electricity, and the power is enough, but it also has to face a key problem, that is, the further away from the earth, the power generation power will continue to decrease. When the earth is in low-Earth orbit, the power generation power of the manned spacecraft can reach 2400 kilowatt hours of electricity per day.The trouble lies behind. After the spacecraft arrives near Jupiter, the power generated by the solar array will be only one-thirtieth, reduced to about 80 kilowatt hours per day. When it nears the orbit of Saturn, the power generated will be reduced to one-eighty, or 30 kilowatt hours per day. When it comes to Uranus, it is only 8/[-]th of a kilowatt-hour of electricity, which is only [-] kilowatt-hours of electricity per day.

This has not reached the limit yet. The light intensity near Neptune's orbit is only 2.6 of that in Earth's low-Earth orbit, and it can only generate [-] kilowatt-hours of electricity a day.

This power supply is not even enough to start the backup computer system of the spacecraft, let alone provide sufficient power to allow the thermal control system to maintain the temperature of the spacecraft cabin. The temperature of the entire spacecraft will drop to hundreds of degrees below zero, and Yu Ze also has to Frozen into ice corpse.

As for the use of fuel, the fuel itself is extremely precious, so how can it be used to generate electricity.

This is a technical problem for human beings. Deep space travel is definitely not something that existing humans can do. Energy alone leaves humans helpless and there is nothing they can do to encourage progress.

Solar arrays also have mass. Carrying too many solar arrays will also reduce the weight-to-power ratio. If the gain outweighs the loss, it is better to use isotope batteries.

At this time, Yu Ze's special function, thought activation, came into play.

That’s right, it’s a human-powered generator!

His original idea of ​​using his own thoughts to generate electricity after the end of the world came was rejected at the time because the amount of electricity generated was too low and would be of no use to the entire country.No matter how low the power generation capacity is, it is still 10,000+ or ​​hundreds of thousands of kWh per day!
Not to mention providing a manned spacecraft, it is enough to provide a community.

Therefore, he added a human power generator to his job. He directly used his mind to activate the generator rotor to rotate and generate electricity, and charged the two 1500-degree batteries to 80%, which was easily completed.

In this way, the entire spacecraft does not carry a solar array, which reduces a lot of weight.

It can be said that, let alone completing the final mission, the entire voyage plan would not have been completed smoothly without Yu Ze's special abilities. …

……

This trip, if we talk about the previous time, Yu Ze still found it quite interesting, and his heart was filled with a sense of excitement in the deep space. However, half a month has passed, and the unchanging scene outside the porthole is no longer attractive. Eye attention, and what a thrill it is.

Fortunately, he did not cut off communication with the earth, but the delay was very high. Every reply took several minutes to see.

As he gets farther and farther away from the earth, the communication delay will get higher and higher, and it will often be a few to 10 minutes in the future.

In addition to watching TV and movies to kill time, Yu Ze usually relies on studying to kill time. If he doesn't understand something, he will write it down, and then a team of experts from the Earth will be responsible for recording video answers. In order to improve the efficiency of bandwidth, the Earth They even specially developed new video encoders, decoders, and players in order to maintain the original clarity but only use one-fifth of the bit rate under the same bandwidth.

……

……

Yu Ze, who was just reading an e-book, suddenly heard the system alarm and immediately threw away the electronic device in his hand and drifted towards the control cabin.

He checked the alerts displayed on the system. A low-gain antenna had failed, resulting in the loss of seven telemetry channels.

If ordinary astronauts encountered this problem, they would have investigated it. But with a thought in Yu Ze's mind, the wave of thoughts spread rapidly, and he knew the cause of the problem.

Unfortunately, when space was so empty, his manned spacecraft encountered a micrometeoroid and hit near the power bus of the low-gain antenna. As a result, the low-gain antenna malfunctioned and seven telemetry data were lost. aisle.

Yu Ze immediately contacted the ground aerospace command center to explain the situation. After the response arrived, he drove the parts and started repairs from a distance.

This is also a repair that he can do. Otherwise, when encountering this kind of thing, he can only disconnect one of the power buses to avoid failure, but it is difficult to say whether the problem will still occur after that.

Now he used his mind to repair and replace the power bus. It only took him half an hour to complete the repair work and get the antenna back to normal operation.

The journey after that was smooth sailing and no more troublesome problems were encountered.

What troubles Yu Ze is that although the space agency has prepared a variety of food for him, in order to preserve it for a long time, the taste cannot be compared with fresh meat and vegetables, so it can only be said to be barely edible.

If I have to eat this kind of food for more than two years, I can only endure it.
