Galactic Tech Empire

Chapter 405: On the Space Station
"Mishima, what do you think about the situation where the thrust exceeds the expected value?" Huang Haojie asked, staring at the thrust value that exceeded the expected value by 34%.

Mishima Ji scratched his head and thought hard, and after a while he carefully checked the real-time monitoring data, and soon found a trace of suspicion, Mishima Ji said with some uncertainty: "I suspect it may have something to do with optical radiation, those Optical radiation that is not fully converted to heat increases engine thrust."

"Is it light radiation?" Huang Haojie thought for a while, and he agreed with this guess.

After all, power cannot appear for no reason. According to the mass-energy equation and energy conservation, the extra power must have a source.

Of the total energy generated by the nuclear fusion reactor, 28% is converted into electrical energy, and of the remaining 72% energy, in addition to 12% of the helium plasma that has not been released in the vacuum chamber, there are about 60% of heat and light radiation.

The 60% of thermal energy and light radiation cannot be completely converted into nitrogen plasma, especially the part of light radiation.

The nitrogen plasma ejected by the entire ion engine is very powerful, but actually provides very limited thrust, only 37 kilograms of thrust.

However, compared with those ion engines that can only push a piece of paper, 37 kilograms has been enhanced by several orders of magnitude.

Soon the 1800-second nuclear fusion reaction was coming to an end, and the reactor released the condensed matter vacuum chamber at the moment the reaction ended.

In an instant, the 99.4 grams of helium plasma in the reactor was ejected from the nozzle of the ion engine.

Huang Haojie saw that the thrust at that moment had reached about 6542 kilograms, which was 6542 kilograms. In less than a second, the ion engine burst out with a powerful thrust of 6.5 tons.

However, this momentary thrust is that the nuclear fusion reactor will eject the remaining 12% of the energy in an instant.

Zhou Botong was amazed at this ion engine, which can sustain a thrust of 37 kilograms for 1800 seconds, and an instant burst of thrust of 6542 kilograms: "Nuclear fusion is really extraordinary."

Mishima Ji also said while dancing excitedly:

"Nuclear fusion is a qualitative leap forward. Even if it can't be used in the atmosphere, we can also use it in outer space, especially now that the power is so large. If we increase the size of the nuclear fusion reactor, maybe we can create a continuous An ion engine with a thrust of more than 1000 kilograms."

"I'll leave it to you to develop a more powerful ion engine. I'll come back when I have time."

"Chairman, go slowly!"

"Thank you very much for the guidance of the chairman."

Huang Haojie left the Keelung Ion Engine Research Institute directly, and returned to his secret research institute once again.

Zhong drove the surging Shuguang sports car to send him back to Huang's Beppu. This time he returned to the secret research institute mainly to go offline. After putting the anthropomorphic bionic robot back into the storage room, he left Keelung City.

In Shanmei's secret research institute, after Huang Haojie opened his eyes, he got up from the massage chair and stretched his muscles.

[Master, your substitute robot has arrived at the New Kaohsiung Space Station. ]
"Oh? I see." Huang Haojie continued to move his body, and after eating some fruit, he went online again.

The stand-in robot he launched this time is secretly stored in the New Kaohsiung Space Station.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he floated out of the storage cabinet with some discomfort. This was his first experience of the microgravity environment in outer space.

At present, the construction of the new Kaohsiung space station has been completed, especially after the upgrade of the mass projector, the launch has become easier and easier.

Zhang Yunfeng, who was in the main control cabin of the New Kaohsiung Space Station, suddenly received a message. He immediately widened his eyes and suspected that he had read it wrong, and read it carefully again.

"Green pine."

"Yes." Liao Qingsong replied hastily.

"Let's go to cabin 43." Zhang Yunfeng turned his head and instructed the deputy base chief, Lu Shi, "Lu Shi, you are in charge for the time being."

"No problem." The wheat-colored Lu Shi responded immediately.

Zhang Yunfeng hurriedly led Liao Qingsong to cabin 43.

"Head, what's the matter?" Liao Qingsong asked while floating on his hands and feet.

"The chairman is here." Zhang Yunfeng replied concisely.

"..." Liao Qingsong couldn't react immediately: "The chairman is here? Didn't the manned spaceship come over today?"

"This is a secret, so don't ask." Zhang Yunfeng is the only person who knows the truth of the matter at the New Kaohsiung Space Station, and he placed the storage cabinet in cabin 43 himself.

Once Liao Qingsong heard that it was a secret, he stopped asking any more questions.

The two buried their heads and floated towards cabin 43. After a while, they came to the airtight door of cabin 43. Zhang Yunfeng quickly entered the password.

Bark!The airtight hatch opened slowly.

Huang Haojie's figure appeared in front of the two of them.

"Chairman, welcome to the New Kaohsiung Space Station. I am Zhang Yunfeng, the base director of the New Kaohsiung Space Station."

"Chairman, welcome to the new Kaohsiung space station. I am Liao Qingsong, the leader of the space operation team of the new Kaohsiung space station."

"Hello, thank you for your hard work." Huang Haojie shook hands with them one by one.

"It's our honor." Zhang Yunfeng said respectfully.

"Take me to visit the new Kaohsiung space station."

"Okay, Chairman, please follow me."

While the three were floating forward, Zhang Yunfeng introduced the situation of the Kaohsiung Space Station to Huang Haojie.

"At present, the new Kaohsiung space station has a total of 66 cabins, with a total volume of 10750 cubic meters and a total mass of 3740 tons. There are also a Xuanwu class and a Qinglong class moored at the space station."

Huang Haojie is quite familiar with these data, and he has been paying attention to the construction of the new Kaohsiung space station.

"Now there are 11 permanent personnel in the space station, including 6 management personnel and 5 scientific research personnel. Our space station undertakes some scientific research activities while refueling the Xuanwu-class transport spacecraft."

"By the way, have you installed those six shield generators?"

"It has been installed, and we have tested it. Now the sub-space station doesn't have to be afraid of being hit by space junk." Zhang Yunfeng said happily.

The installation of the shield generator made them feel an unprecedented sense of security. Before they were inside the space station, they were worried all day long, afraid of being attacked by space junk or asteroids.

With the shield generator, unless they are hit by a massive asteroid, as long as the mass of the impacted object does not exceed 10 tons, and the relative speed is not too fast, they can rest easy.

Now the Nandou system of the Galaxy Consortium and the Beidou system of Dongtang have closely monitored the orbit around this blue star.

Those large-mass space junk or asteroids have long been closely monitored, so the possibility of being hit by a large mass is very small.

Under the leadership of Zhang Yunfeng, Huang Haojie took a rough tour of the New Kaohsiung Space Station, and he also greeted everyone in the space station.

When he came to the general control cabin, he watched the demonstration of the shield generator. As a space station, the armed forces here are not strong, only some laser jammers and six small tungsten rod projectors.

The Xinbazhong Space Station, which has the same orbital height as the New Kaohsiung Space Station, is also installing shield generators at this time.

Their six shield generators are custom made from Supernova Industries.
