Simulation: Great Power Technology

The so-called negative thermal expansion material does not increase in volume but decreases when the temperature increases. By controlling the ratio of the two materials, a material with a zero expansion coefficient is obtained, so that a real high temperature resistant material is obtained. However, the raw ore collected from the ground now obviously does not have an expansion coefficient close to zero.

Even if it is brought up, further synthesis experiments need to be done.

Ye Zhou revised the thinking modeling again, adding a temperature test part, and he also added a detection program for the detector. Before all the operations are completed and the detector starts to ignite and rise, he wants to try to Solve the problem that the parachute cannot be ejected, and ensure that this time the detection is 100% successful!

[Dragon Heart plot simulation begins]

Ye Zhou went into a coma step by step, and the subconscious program began to take effect. He completed all the tests under the control of the program, and successfully measured the effect of temperature on the properties of the ore by changing the temperature of the experimental cabin.

It is indeed a negative thermal expansion material. When the temperature of the experimental chamber decreases, the rough ore even increases at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Having determined this, in fact, for Ye Zhou, it also determined the key to the heat resistance of this material.

Subsequently, he began to conduct a comprehensive self-test of the detector.

This process is completely mechanized. Without a clue, Ye Zhou listed all the risk factors that might cause the parachute to fail to pop up, and eliminated them step by step.

After the program was completed, he activated the ignition ascent system.

The detector quickly rose above the ground, and at the moment when the sunlight entered, the thinking program received a stop signal, and Ye Zhou regained his active consciousness.

He waited expectantly.

However, everything did not go as smoothly as he thought.

The parachute still won't pop up.

In the last two minutes, Ye Zhou ignited the thrust reverser as required by the ground command, which minimized the damage to the detector caused by heavy falls and ensured the integrity of the information brought back from the ground.

But he himself, it is indeed impossible to survive such a fall.

Under the violent impact, Ye Zhou returned to the void again.

[The end of the second-stage plot simulation of Dragon Heart]

【This simulation rating: b】

[Reward: 10 energy points (clue reward)]

【Clue Discovery: Target Material Synthesis Conditions】

He looked at the settlement interface suspiciously, and couldn't understand the reason.

Obviously all the information has been collected, why is the ending still not reached?

Is it really necessary to let this researcher survive in the plot simulation?

Not so much.

The original purpose was to explore the conditions for the formation of new materials. Why do people have to live?

The information has also been passed on, and the material samples have been brought along, so what else?

Ye Zhou felt that his spirit was extremely exhausted, but he really didn't want to quit the simulation now, because once quitting, it meant that he had to repeat the programming process.

After sighing, Ye Zhou had no choice but to enter the sea of ​​strings again.

It seems that it is impossible to detect parachute anomalies by program.

This is also normal. Programs can only perform fixed activities, and are not very useful for activities that require creativity and do not have any clear direction. This is also an important reason why humans can be distinguished from artificial intelligence at this stage.

He modified the thinking program that he had prepared before, canceled the part of automatically detecting parachute abnormalities, and changed it to rise from the detector above the Moho interface, wake up automatically after entering the safe area, and then operate it by his subjective consciousness.

After entering the simulation step by step, Ye Zhou woke up on time during the ascent stage of the probe, and the first thing he did was to turn on the intercom to contact the ground command.

"Land Temple, this is Tu Xingsun! There is a problem with my detector parachute, and I need your help to check immediately!"

After a short pause, the command's reply came in a loud noise.

"Tu Xingsun, the system detects that your parachute is normal. What is your problem?"

"My parachute won't pop!"

Ye Zhou replied anxiously.

Once the engine is ignited, it cannot be extinguished, and the ascent cannot be stopped.

At this time, there are less than 4 minutes before the probe leaves the ground and lifts off. He must find and eliminate abnormalities in these 4 minutes.

"Tu Xingsun, we haven't entered the parachute ejection stage yet. How did you find that the parachute couldn't be ejected?"

Ye Zhou was taken aback by the question, but in an instant, his mind suddenly opened.

Yup.

Why should I go step by step to check which link is wrong?

That's a strategy to use when there is only one chance.

But am I not in the emulator now? As long as I try to manually open the parachute at various times of the ascent, until the parachute fails to open, the problem will naturally surface.

This is the most reliable and efficient way.

After all, he had no idea whether the parachute had a problem at the very beginning, or if the problem occurred during the ascent.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhou put down the intercom immediately, cut off the remote contact with the command directly, then found the emergency control button, entered the password and gained full control of the detector.

Then, he entered the command for the parachute to pop up.

The long-buried explosive cord was excited by the current, part of the detector's outer casing was thrown away, and the main parachute popped out.

Under the huge disturbance, the detector completely lost its balance and crashed into the tunnel.

Ye Zhou returned to the void with satisfaction, which at least proved that the parachute was still working normally at a depth below 8 kilometers.

Looking at the 45 energy value displayed on the settlement interface, Ye Zhou entered the simulation again without hesitation.

8-6 km, the parachute works fine.

6-4 kilometers, normal.

4-2 kilometers, still normal.

2-0 km, this time, the main umbrella did not pop up.

found it!

Ye Zhou entered the playback interface and began to use the talent of "Master of Structures" to check the state of the detector frame by frame.

After a long time, he finally found the crux of the problem.

The surface of the detector has long been smashed by a rockfall, and a small piece of the residual stardust thermal insulation coating on the surface has been scraped off, but because it is only a partial damage, the self-checking system of the detector did not find it.

And this damaged area is exactly the weak shell thrown by the parachute.

During the subsequent ascent, the high temperature dissipated by the engine and the temperature of the ground caused the shell without coating protection to deform slightly, distorting the arrangement of the explosive cords, resulting in the energy of the explosive cords not being completely released outwards according to the predetermined design during the ejection process. , eventually destroying the throwing mechanism of the parachute.

Ye Zhou watched the replay silently, the reason for this incomparable coincidence was something he never imagined.

What's worse, he doesn't seem to be able to simply change this matter.

The stone is there, destined to fall.

The probe is doomed to be smashed.

What can be done?

At the beginning of the design of the detector, this situation was actually taken into account, so the stardust coating was left with a margin. Even if there was an impact from falling rocks, it would not cause too much damage to the overall structure.

But it just so happened that the stone hit directly on the top of the explosive cord, and there was a 1 in 100 chance of hitting it.

If you really want to solve this problem, you must start monitoring from the descending stage, find the source of the falling rock, and then avoid it by controlling the descending speed.

It was another long and boring job.

However, as long as it can survive, it is meaningful.
