It's about two o'clock in the morning.
Qin Xiaoyu got up and went to the bathroom, and saw the bright lights on the second floor next door.
His expression was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Yi Fei probably didn't have much else to do recently.
Because Chen Yi was working all night again.
Not only did Xia Keke know it, she was also familiar with Chen Yi's character.
Except for the time when I first started my business, my working hours would never exceed seven o'clock, and the unfinished business would be for the next day.
What could make Chen Yi give up his health care and stay up all night to cultivate immortality was because he had nothing else to do except to take advantage of the opportunity.
“Prepare an extra breakfast tomorrow that can be reheated without affecting the taste.”
After setting a breakfast reminder, Qin Xiaoyu went back to sleep after going to the bathroom. He didn't say anything about asking, reminding, or letting Chen Yi have an early rest.
"Finally done."
"This engine is several levels more complex than the previous engine."
"If I didn't understand all the techniques and structures, I probably wouldn't be able to finish it in half a month."
It took almost eight hours.
From design to manufacturing, Chen Yi finally unveiled the latest moon landing engine.
This is an engine with tens of thousands of accessories and components. It is 3.63 meters long and has a maximum diameter of 63.3 centimeters. It is the largest engine Chen Yi has ever built. The surface is covered with various supercapacitors, induction modules, heat dissipation modules, lines and pipelines, etc. .
Just by looking at it, you can tell that it contains a lot of technology.
[Item: Polar magnetic variable specific impulse plasma engine]
[Attributes: thrust x15.9, specific impulse x100, control x99.8, efficiency x10.9, strength x28.9, beauty x12.6]
[Note: This is an engine with a magnetically confined electric field that can perform extremely hot accelerated injection of propellant and has an extreme specific impulse.
As long as there is enough energy propellant, it will satisfy your primary dream of interstellar exploration.
If you can provide enough power energy, maybe it will bring you some other surprises. 】
"If we modify the magnetic confinement electric field and combine it with an ultra-high temperature generator, we can use attack drones to create an aircraft carrier killer, but the size of the current attack drones cannot fit inside."
Chen Yi briefly imagined it and soon thought of the applications of the technology here in other areas.
"I feel like if this continues, I will be able to have a deep grasp of all aircraft-related fields. It can be called a science and technology museum."
Chen Yi complained to himself and began to design a straight-line moon landing drone based on the engine of this powerful bunker.
"The first point is energy. No matter how powerful the engine is, if you want to drive an aircraft, energy is indispensable."
"The ion thruster prompts to increase the injection speed and improve the specific impulse performance. This can only save propellant, but it does not save any energy consumption."
"On the contrary, given the same thrust, the faster the propellant injection speed, the higher the power required and the greater the energy consumption."
"Well, let's do some basic exercises first."
"Battery film with a conversion rate of 84.6%."
"Add another set of the strongest carbon silicon lithium battery with 5980Wh/KG."
"At the same time, refer to the sun never sets drone and increase the surface area of the fuselage as much as possible."
"Let's add a set of hidden solar panels. In space, there is no air resistance. Such panels are an energy supplement artifact."
"It also uses battery panels with a conversion rate of 84.6%, and a retractable inflatable frame. When you use it, you just pop it up with air, and when you don't use it, you just put it away.
Um, it seems that inflatable and retractable ones don't work.
My girlfriend deflated and needed to be folded manually. The same goes for this one, which cannot be put back.
It is better to change it to a carbon fiber X-shaped telescopic frame, which can be extended when needed and retracted when not in use. "
"In addition, we also need to consider attitude control, safety protection in space, heat-resistant design for re-entry into the atmosphere, and fuselage design."
“The last thing is the relay satellite, which is similar to “Magpie Bridge” and is arranged at the L2 Lagrange point.
I am already familiar with satellite technology.
This will build a self-launching satellite to enhance the communication and remote sensing functions.
When you get to space, dock and hook the lunar landing drone and drag it to the L2 Lagrange point."
Countless knowledge about aerospace and ion thrusters flashed through Chen Yi's mind.
Based on this knowledge and information, combined with the conditions of the space environment.
Chen Yi quickly determined the general configuration of the new moon landing drone.
This is a drone with a length of 5.07 meters, a wingspan of 4.76 meters at its widest point, and 1.98 meters including the landing gear.
The overall shape adopts the waverider configuration.
It shows a triangular rhombus shape, but it is much rounder than a rhombus, and there are many micro-jet ports at different angles on the surface.
For lunar landing drones, the aerodynamic layout in the atmosphere is no longer important.
The powerful engine is enough to make up for some shortcomings in aerodynamic performance.
“The next step is the material of the fuselage.
Still imitating the Sun Never Sets UAV, the innermost part uses carbon fiber as the base frame, followed by a layer of solar cell film.
A special optical coating is added to the battery film to regularly reflect the 15% of the light that is not absorbed, eliminating blur and mosaic.
The outermost surface is a layer of transparent beryllium oxide ceramic, which serves as thermal barrier protection and physical protection, forming a four-layer composite structure.
This time, the carbon fiber uses a new weaving technology, which increases the tensile strength by 135% and the yield strength by 2.3 times, which is enough to cope with the use environment of moon landing drones.
In addition, considering the intense friction during re-entry into the atmosphere, the thickness of the beryllium oxide ceramics on the nose and belly of the fuselage needs to be increased by 2.3 times."
Chen Yi roughly calculated the heat of re-entry into the atmosphere and increased the beryllium oxide ceramics on the belly and nose of the fuselage by 2.3 times.
It was originally planned to add a layer of insulating ceramic tiles based on the design of the space shuttle.
However, considering the shedding and disposable issues of ceramic tiles, this plan was abandoned.
"Start manufacturing!"
The overall configuration and material scheme of the fuselage were determined.
Chen Yi put on the virtual helmet and began to design and manufacture the specific structural components of the drone, as well as the supporting functional modules.
It's around four in the morning.
All designs are completed.
Introduce automated manufacturing procedures to arrange production.
It's about six o'clock in the morning.
New base and new production equipment.
All the accessories and components needed by Chen Yi have been produced.
Three-layer composite structure fuselage components, communication modules, signal components, drone main control core, propellant fuel tank, radar, hydraulic wheel set, carbon silicon lithium battery, X-shaped telescopic solar panels, to improve safety protection Laser weapons and more.
All the drone accessories and components were placed in front of Chen Yi.
After some assembly.
Soon, one was completely black, without the distorted and blurry feeling of a drone on which the sun never sets.
The overall shape is roughly triangular, using a waverider structure, but a thicker and more rounded drone appeared in front of Chen Yi.
[Item: Ultimate Competitiveness - Recent Japanese Space Stealth UAV]
[Attributes: Energy x49.1, propellant x98.2, speed x15.9, mass x34, stability x42, strength x26.7, communication x31.7, radar photography x36.6, avionics x34.5, beauty x13. 8. Energy supplement x78.6]
[Note: This is a drone that uses an extreme specific impulse engine, beyond imagination, and can travel in a straight line to the moon, Venus, and Mars.
The special energy replenishment design allows it to almost never run out of energy in the nearest area.
The powerful specific impulse brings efficient propulsion, allowing it to last for ten days and three nights without rest with a single propellant refill.
If you are proficient in the technology of gravitational acceleration around stars.
It can also carry out a journey across the stars at any time.
When your great-grandson's son burns paper for you, it can convey your thoughts to Proxima Centauri. 】
"Is it so aggressive to raise money once for ten days and three nights without rest?" Chen Yi was shocked by the drone's evaluation.
"Visiting Proxima Centauri in your lifetime will be even more powerful."
"If I remember correctly, the nearest star Proxima Centauri is 4.2 light-years away from the sun. Based on the 30-year-old-marriage-late generation, my grandson is 60 years younger than me, and my great-grandson is 90 years younger than me.
It is necessary for the son of the great-grandson to burn paper, which means that the great-grandson has died. Based on the average life span of more than 80 years, it will be about 180 years later.
I mean this stuff.
It takes 180 years to reach Proxima Centauri, reaching a speed of 2.3% of the speed of light? "
Chen Yi was shocked.
2.3 percent sounds low.
Not even comparable to regular bank interest.
Not to mention that telecom fraudsters often charge an annualized rate of 20 or 30%.
But if this is 2.3 percent, then multiply it by a speed value.
Not high, just 300,000 kilometers per second.
Suddenly, the meaning is different.
2.3 percent immediately becomes 7,000 kilometers per second.
This is much stronger than the most powerful nuclear-powered manhole cover.
Not to mention flying out of the Orion cantilever, there is no problem in flying out of the Milky Way.
"It is worthy of giving 1,000 Three Gorges Power Stations energy power to use an engine with sublight speed jet propulsion."
"The drones made with this engine are also different."
Chen Yi sighed, looked at the drone in front of him, opened the hatch and checked it.
“There’s quite a lot of space inside, so there’s no problem seating a few children.”
"You can buy an extra lunar sweeping robot for the drone, a mechanical one, otherwise the moon won't be able to absorb air."
"The energy source of the sweeping robot is to charge with the laser of the drone. This thing exists in reality. Just change it to increase its efficiency."
"It's rare to go to the moon. If you don't help sweep the floor, why don't you bring back some local souvenirs?"
Sweeping robot.
This thing is simple.
It didn't even take an hour, Chen Yi used the existing style and structure of the sweeping robot.
It was modified into an off-road robot that is several times larger in size, has a large storage compartment on its back, the wheels were replaced with tracks, and the chassis can be raised high.
[Item: Crawler-type excavation and cleaning robot]
[Attributes: Energy x49.1, Excavation and Cleaning x14.7, Storage x19.8, Supplementary Energy x43.1]
[Note: This is a cleaning robot used in special environments. When used at home, the floor style can be changed to obtain a neat and concave-convex style floor.
Perhaps, you can use it to build roads and be responsible for the excavation and cleaning process before laying asphalt. 】
"Is the rating so low?"
"This is a sweeping robot, not a road-digging robot."
Make sure there are no issues with the functionality.
Chen Yi didn't care what the evaluation was.
Put the sweeping robot through the drone's openable door, stuff it into the drone and fix it, just waiting to be sent to the moon together to start its glorious sweeping life.
"The speed on the other side is still too slow."
"I've built the moon landing drone, but they haven't even issued a moon landing announcement yet."
Send the request for the relay satellite to Xuannv to indicate production.
Chen Yi looked at the moon landing plan that was motionless across the way.
After thinking about it, I called the phone and asked a few questions.
"To avoid being targeted by Yifei, prepare to launch within two hours of issuing the announcement, instead of issuing an announcement in advance?"
"Good guys, if you want to avoid being targeted, you should at least supplement your confidentiality protection like a sieve."
Chen Yi hung up the phone with a strange look on his face.
After thinking about it, I took a photo of the new lunar landing drone, and then found a close-up photo of the moon taken by the last lunar landing drone.
Based on the time of the moon landing, a live broadcast preview was released.
【exist? Take 10 pieces of moon soil! Two days later at ten o'clock in the morning, the moon landing operation begins immediately! 】
Chapter one, two more chapters tonight
