Chapter 219 Hundreds of Iterations
The asteroid is 89 kilometers at its longest point and about 40 kilometers at its widest point. The entire asteroid has a slightly curved hook shape.

In the star catalog compiled by the Eta people, this asteroid also has no name, only a number.

But Han Yang naturally did not intend to use the Eta people's star catalog.He renumbered the asteroid and called it No. [-].

Star No. [-] is naturally the Jade Star.

Detectors launched earlier have shown that the asteroid contains about 89 tons of gold, as well as some other rare resources.

Because the total reserves are low, the quality is low, and the mining cycle is long and difficult, the Ita people, including the humans before the arrival of the Ita people, are not interested in it.

But it is naturally different for Han Yang.

They have all been reduced to relying on robbing Ceres to obtain supplies, so don’t be dissatisfied with the difference in quality and low reserves. Some mining is good.

Besides, isn’t it just industrial capability?The Eta people find it troublesome, but I, Han Yang, have the most industrial capabilities.

I want what you don’t want; I want what you can’t mine!
Under this situation, the Cargo No. [-] spacecraft headed straight for the No. [-] star.

It has an acceleration of 0.8 meters per square second.It will accelerate at this speed for a month, and its maximum speed will reach about 2070 kilometers per second. After that, it will immediately start to slow down. When its speed drops to only a few tens of meters per second relative to the asteroid, Just in time to reach the asteroid.

The total voyage time is two months.

As for the return journey, Han Yang does not intend to let it return directly.

Two months flew by.Amid the violent jets, the Cargo No. [-] spacecraft quietly stopped millions of kilometers away from the No. [-] star.

It is not possible to approach it directly at the moment.Because there are also Eta detectors around the No. [-] star.

Han Yang carefully controlled the robot in the cargo ship, and also pushed out a large box, then quietly approached it, and finally, just like on the Jade God, he also covered it.

In this way, Han Yang arrogantly maneuvered the Cargo No. [-] spacecraft into the orbit of the No. [-] star.

Next, it’s mining.

Also in a canyon, Han Yang directly controlled the landing spacecraft, transported a batch of robots, a nuclear fusion reactor device, and a batch of building materials, and started construction.

With energy and facilities, construction progressed rapidly.However, Cargo No. [-] spacecraft did not stay here and wait. Instead, it set off again and flew to Star No. [-].

Star No. 130 is larger than Star No. [-], with the longest point reaching [-] kilometers.According to early detection, there are some heavy rare earth ores on it, as well as some silver ores, copper ores and the like.

Silver and copper are not as scarce as rare elements such as gold and gallium, but they are also relatively lacking in Han Yang.Of course Han Yang refused to let it go.

Following the same pattern, Han Yang once again released a large box to cover the Eta people's detectors, then released a nuclear fusion device and base facilities again, and left again.

Then there’s Star [-].At Star [-], Han Yang controlled the Cargo No. [-] spacecraft and stayed for a while.The main reason is that the fusion fuel of the Cargo One spacecraft has been exhausted and must be replenished here.

The route of Cargo No. [-] spacecraft was planned in advance, and it was decided in advance that it would stop at Star No. [-].Because Han Yang had previously detected that there was more water ice on Star No. [-].The more water ice, the more hydrogen.Although most hydrogen is protium, there is always some deuterium, which can be used as fusion fuel.

Therefore, on Star [-], in addition to the nuclear fusion power station and mineral smelting base, Han Yang also released an additional set of electrolytic hydrogen and deuterium gas purification facilities.

Under the dark gray earth of Star [-], a large amount of hard water ice was collected in the cave.

That's right, whether it is No. [-], No. [-] or No. [-], Han Yang still adheres to the concept when developing Jade God Star, that is, all mining operations must be placed underground.All mining tasks must adhere to the strictest environmental protection policies and must not change the planet's landscape environment.

Only in this way is it safe enough.

The mined water ice is then melted by the heat of the nuclear fusion power station - which can be regarded as cooling down the nuclear fusion power station, and is used as waste heat. After that, it is electrolyzed.

The electrolyzed protium-deuterium mixed gas is further centrifuged, and relatively pure deuterium gas is produced and poured into the Cargo [-] spacecraft.

With fuel replenished, the exhausted Cargo One spacecraft was revived with full health.

The facilities on the fourth star were retained to continue building a base and a mineral smelting plant. The cargo spacecraft No. [-] went straight to the original second star.

After this period of waiting, the base on Star [-] has been built, and mineral smelting has begun. At this stage, some materials have been produced, just in time for the Cargo [-] spacecraft to take them back.

After running all the way, we finally arrived.

When it finally entered the orbit around the No. [-] star, the landing spacecraft also came to it with a standard cargo box.

This batch of materials totals 5000 tons.Among them, there were 260 kilograms of gold, more than 20 tons of copper, and more than 100 tons of tin. They were divided into 60 containers.

Cargo No. [-] spacecraft returned with half a load.

At this moment, the Cargo No. [-], No. [-], and No. [-] spacecraft manufactured by Han Yang have also set sail and embarked on a journey to visit these asteroids.

They are fully loaded with nuclear fusion power plant equipment and various industrial facilities. Like hens laying eggs, they release a batch of materials when they arrive at an asteroid, let them circulate on the asteroid, and then immediately go to the next asteroid, again Lay eggs.

Until the equipment is released, they will obtain some fuel supplies from the last asteroid and then return.When returning, they will also bring back the supplies that the first asteroid has produced.

Under this situation, a large number of relatively scarce or extremely scarce materials on the Jade God Star began to gather here in a steady stream.

Han Yang's spirit became more and more energetic.

"I finally have a stable channel to obtain supplies, and I no longer completely rely on supplies from the inner solar system. The shackles that limited my performance have disappeared, and I can finally do something big."

In the space around Jade God, shipyards appeared one after another, and finally five of them appeared.

These yards are dedicated to the construction of cargo ships of various sizes.

As for small spacecraft or combat spacecraft, Han Yang plans to continue to adopt a modular construction method and not build entire ships for the time being.

In this way, the ground base can complete the manufacturing, and the space dock will not be used for the time being.

It took Han Yang almost two years to build the original 100 cargo spacecraft.At this moment, the asteroid 153, the farthest asteroid from Jade, was also visited by a cargo spacecraft, releasing the fusion power station and other facilities, and began construction and production.

No matter how far away the asteroid is, Han Yang does not plan to develop it anymore.The distance is too far, and transporting materials requires long distances, which is too time-consuming and the gain outweighs the loss.

At this moment, there are a total of 152 asteroids, with Jade as the core, weaving a large network.Every asteroid is a node in this large network.

There is at least one nuclear fusion power station on every asteroid, at least three different mineral smelting factories, more than six other factories, and at least [-] robots working on it.

With the expansion of the mining base, more robots are expected to work here in the future.

Under the cover of the asteroid's appearance, tunnels extending in all directions gradually began to appear inside the asteroid.They are like tree trunks that have been hollowed out by pests. The appearance still maintains the same appearance as before, but the inside has already changed.

Han Yang's computing power radiated to these surrounding asteroids with the Jade God Base as the core, unified regulation and control, making them seem to be integrated into one.

Each asteroid has different outputs, different distances, and different coordinates.Just like compiling a train operation chart, Han Yang compiled a operation chart based on the carrying capacity and speed of the cargo ships he built, as well as the material output speed of each asteroid, allowing different spacecraft to run different routes. To visit different asteroids, each spacecraft transportation can always use up the transportation capacity as much as possible, and at the same time, it can exactly transport the output of the asteroids on the road during this period, consuming the least time and reaching the maximum s efficiency.

At this time, the supplies from Ceres will be exhausted.At this time, various asteroids began to produce large-scale production, and cargo spacecraft came back fully loaded one after another, and the material consumption just happened to catch up.

In this vast space, in this place that is hardly noticed by anyone, hundreds of cargo spacecrafts shuttle back and forth.

At this time, Han Yang's main focus was once again on the manufacturing of modular spacecraft and the research and development of technology.

Smaller reactors with higher fusion efficiency, smaller and more reliable ion thrusters with greater thrust, more advanced electromagnetic guns and laser cannons, more powerful interstellar mines and interstellar missiles, and wider detection ranges, Satellites that are more sensitive and have a higher survivability rate, and the most important chip technology...

Wait, wait, everything is within the scope of Han Yang's research and development.

The rebels in the solar system relied on the backward equipment they provided to fight desperately against the Itans, attracting the attention and energy of the Itans and creating space and time for their own development.

The plunder of Ceres provided him with initial start-up capital, allowing him to develop surrounding asteroids and have a stable source of supplies.

You must make good use of this time and go all out to develop, regardless of the cost or consequences.Otherwise, when this period of strategic opportunity passes, it's hard to say when the Eta people will set their sights on the outer solar system.

By then, I really have no chance.

In the weapons testing center, the electromagnetic gun was roaring.In the propulsion experiment center, the new ion thruster is spraying light fiercely.In the computing center, tens of thousands of robots and intelligent machines are studying more advanced chip manufacturing technology.

At this moment, Han Yang's computing technology has reached a level that is sufficient to manufacture 3-nanometer process chips in the laboratory, and is almost approaching the limit of silicon-based chips.With large-scale assembly line manufacturing, chips with a 5-nanometer process can already be produced.

This has once again greatly improved Han Yang's computing power compared to the past.Not only has his own computing power improved, but the computing power of the hundreds of secondary supercomputing centers he built has also been greatly improved, which more effectively supports the construction and development of the Jade Star Base.

"The ultimate range of silicon-based chips is 2 nanometers. I am almost close to the limit. Now, it is time to develop a new generation of computing chips."

Han Yang thought secretly.

Once the silicon-based chip process is smaller than 2 nanometers, the circuits will fail due to the quantum tunneling effect, making the chip unusable.At this time, we can only develop new computing technology and find a new path.

Han Yang knew very well what that new road was.

Quantum computing.

Long before the arrival of the Eta people, human scientists had already conducted a lot of research on quantum computing, but they had never been able to make it practical.

The Eta people definitely have perfect quantum computer technology, but they will definitely not disclose it to humans.Even myself, a "good comrade" personally approved by Marundin, is unlikely to obtain relevant technology.

You can only rely on your own research.

"But I'm not in a hurry right now. I don't need to go all out on research and development. Just do pre-research first. The most important task at this stage is to develop other technologies, such as advancement technology, fusion technology, and weapons technology."

Under such circumstances, a new generation of combat spacecraft manufactured in a modular manner was rapidly produced, and soon enough parts were produced to assemble 100 ships.

Compared with previous combat spacecraft produced by Han Yang, their structures are more reasonable and their performance is more powerful.At the same time, the weapon system and armor defense capabilities have also been greatly improved.

"Well, this batch of spaceships should be supplied to the resistance forces in the Jupiter system."

Han Yang arranged for a cargo ship to ship them, and then immediately began to develop a new generation of technology based on this batch of spacecraft.

"Based on previous development and construction experience, this batch of spacecraft may be able to improve armor defense to a certain extent."

Han Yang thought carefully and immediately controlled the robot to conduct experiments in the laboratory.

He planned to use some special process to give the spacecraft armor a certain degree of stress.In this way, once the external electromagnetic gun projectile breaks through the outer armor, the internal stress can be released immediately and annihilate each other with the kinetic energy of the electromagnetic gun projectile, thereby reducing its damage to the spacecraft armor and improving the overall defense.

"This idea is similar to the idea of ​​implosion armor, so it should be feasible."

Through special firing, bending and chemical processes, a plain steel plate is produced.Han Yang summoned a small electromagnetic gun and fired a projectile directly at it.

Under normal circumstances, electromagnetic gun projectiles with a speed of up to 300 kilometers per second will easily penetrate it.This was indeed the case during the test, and the steel plate was successfully penetrated.

But Han Yang was keenly aware that after penetrating the steel plate, the kinetic energy of the plasma mass transformed by the electromagnetic gun projectile was unusually weakened.

"Is it because of stress relief?"

Han Yang regained his energy, immediately collected data, conducted detailed research, improved the craftsmanship, and started testing again.

This time, when the electromagnetic gun projectile hit the steel plate, a violent flash of light suddenly erupted from the hit part of the steel plate, and everything around the hot high-temperature impact point turned black.

But this time, the steel plate was not penetrated!
A thin layer of steel plate actually withstood the bombardment of electromagnetic gun projectiles!

"That's right. Although the stress is released now, and the next time it is bombarded, it will be unstoppable, but it has improved the ability to survive and resist attacks. Also, wait for me to improve the craftsmanship, increase the stress intensity, and reduce the area. , the ability to withstand attacks will be stronger.”

Now the stress of almost one square meter of steel plate has been released, and it has resisted an electromagnetic gun projectile.In the future, if the stress contained in one square centimeter of steel plate can withstand a projectile, assuming the surface area of ​​a spacecraft is 100 square meters, wouldn't this spacecraft be able to withstand the bombardment of 100 million electromagnetic gun projectiles under ideal circumstances?
In this way, the survivability will undoubtedly be greatly improved.

Han Yang was in high spirits and immediately decided to continue in-depth research on this road.

However, the technology currently mastered is enough to complete a technical iteration of the spacecraft.

In addition to armor defense technology, electromagnetic gun power, energy consumption, power, and nuclear fusion have all been more or less improved compared to the previous batch of spacecraft.

Han Yang unified it and used a full set of new technologies to produce 100 combat spaceships again.

"This time supplied to the rebels on Saturn."

After these batches of spacecraft were transported away, Han Yang resumed research and development of spacecraft-related technologies.

In addition to implosion armor, Han Yang also simultaneously began to develop another armor defense technology.

Active reactive armor.

The defense idea of ​​this kind of armor is actually very simple.

Han Yang specially developed a precision high-speed scanning radar and installed it in the armor of the spacecraft, allowing it to fully automatically monitor the outside of the spacecraft at all times under the control of a computer, paying special attention to the movements of small high-speed targets.

At the same time, Han Yang also developed a set of low-rate, low-power electromagnetic guns that can turn quickly.

What Han Yang wants to achieve is that once it detects that the electromagnetic gun projectile is approaching oneself, the electronic system will immediately calculate the trajectory and speed of the incoming projectile, and at the same time control one's own low-speed, low-power electromagnetic gun to launch projectiles for impact. Incoming projectiles.

It is not required to completely change the trajectory of the incoming projectile, as long as it can impact it slightly deflected.

Because compared to the vastness of space and the long distances between them, the target of a spacecraft is still too small.As long as the incoming projectile can be deflected even slightly, it will fail to hit the target.

However, the development of this technology caused Han Yang to encounter great difficulties.

No way, this technology has too high requirements for radar performance - with such small and fast electromagnetic gun projectiles, how easy is it to capture their trajectories in real time?
Han Yang tried his best to develop this system, but in the last test, the comprehensive interception efficiency was only about 10%.

This is based on the fact that I used low-speed electromagnetic gun projectiles as incoming projectiles.If it were the projectiles of a guard ship or even an ETA battleship, the interception rate would be even lower.

"But it's better than nothing. Apply it first. Also, there have been some updates in ion thruster and electromagnetic gun technology during this period. If they are integrated, it can barely be regarded as another update."

Han Yang used these technologies to produce another 100 warships and sent them to the inner solar system.

Only this time, Han Yang did not adopt a modular approach to manufacturing.

The current spacecraft is too complex to be simply assembled or disassembled, and can only be manufactured in a shipyard as a whole.

To this end, Han Yang also built two combat spaceship docks in advance, and also specially modified several Hope cargo spacecrafts. Some steel bars extended on both sides of their hulls, like the word "Feng", and these combat spaceships were hung On top of these steel bars, we followed them to the inner solar system.

In the next generation of spacecraft, Han Yang finally developed his own long-distance communication equipment, so it was updated again.When Han Yang developed a new precision radar technology, it was updated again.

In this way, it is constantly iterating and upgrading.Various technologies related to the spacecraft, ranging from cabin door control to electromagnetic guns, are slowly improving at a speed like ants gnawing at an elephant.

Han Yang did not supply all these spacecraft to the asteroids with the most dangerous and difficult fighting environment, although he knew that the resistance fighters there needed the most support.

He still adopted a dispersed approach, sparing none of the four gaseous planets and the four rocky planets, truly achieving an even distribution of rain and dew.

Because Han Yang knew very well that even if he supplied all the spacecraft he built during this period to the asteroid belt, he would not be able to change the environment there.

Because in a head-on conflict, the performance of one's own spacecraft is still far insufficient and can be easily annihilated.

However, dispersing to other planets will cause the Eta people to divide their forces and return to defense, and have to withdraw their troops from the asteroid belt and return to the original planet.

The Eta fleet also had to disperse its forces and even run around.

In this way, the pressure in the asteroid belt will be reduced and the situation of the rebels can be changed.

Under this situation, in about 20 years, Han Yang built a total of [-] combat spacecraft, all of which were thrown into the inner solar system.

Taking 100 spaceships as a batch, the performance of each batch of spaceships will be improved compared to the previous generation of spaceships - if it is not thrust, it will be endurance, if it is not endurance, it will be defense, if it is not defense, it will be reliability, if it is not reliability, it will be. Whether it is the weapon system or the perception and detection capabilities, in short, there will always be room for improvement.

In the past 20 years, Han Yang has iterated a full 100 times!
When Han Yang's spacecraft technology improvement work finally came to an end, when Han Yang turned around to observe the situation in the solar system, he could clearly see that the solar system at this moment was already ablaze with war and smoke!

Every planet, whether a large planet, a dwarf planet or a satellite, or even in the interstellar space, has traces of rebel spacecraft activities everywhere!

Guard ships and ETA warships attacked everywhere to put out fires.

Although the guard ships and ETA warships are invincible, wherever they go, the war there will subside, and the resistance warships will retreat like bereft dogs, not daring to fight them head-on.

However, in more places where the guard ships and ETA battleships have not reached, the resistance cause of the resistance army is getting more and more vigorous!
