"This interplanetary flight uses our existing two ion engines as the main power. It is estimated that the one-way journey will take about 20 days. Therefore, the living area must be retained, but it does not need to be so large. An overly large living area will generate additional Unnecessary quality and increased fuel consumption.”
As he spoke, Chu Jungui cut off two-thirds of the living area with a wave of his hand, and then said: "The specific design is like this..."
He picked up a pen and started making changes directly on the design drawing. The test subject's precise control of the body is manifested in the fact that at this moment, he becomes a master of drawing in the blink of an eye. Every time he pulls it, it will be an absolutely straight line.
Just looking at the brand new living area, Lin Xi's face turned a little green. Li Ruobai finally couldn't help it and shouted: "Wait a minute, what are these long square boxes you designed?"
"bedroom."
"This thing is one meter high and two meters long. You call it a bedroom? How can this thing sleep?"
"Lie in, there's enough space. I can even lie in it." Chu Jungui looked around and felt that except for No. 4, there was no one higher than himself. However, No. 4 is less than two meters tall, so it will definitely fit inside.
"What's the benefit of this thing?"
"The structure is simple and reliable, standardized production, and then can be stacked layer by layer to maximize the number of people shipped."
Chu Jungui then drew a sketch of the other side of the living area. It was actually a grid of automatic shelves on which the 'bedroom' could be directly inserted, which really saved space to the maximum extent. As early as the home star era, people invented the container for transporting goods, which is basically the same concept.
Li Ruobai's face also started to turn green and he said, "Is this comfortable at all?"
"What kind of comfort is needed?" Chu Jungui looked confused. "During the voyage, the sleeping gas is sprayed and the temperature is maintained at a suitable low temperature. You can sleep for seven to eight days at a time. One sleep for the entire voyage is enough."
"You continue." Li Ruobai had no temper when faced with this plan.
Of course, the test subject is not completely inhumane, and a bathroom is still designed. Bathing and toileting, washing and changing, share an area of four square meters and ten cubic meters of space.
This time even Lin Xi lost his temper.
Chu Jungui allocated all the space freed up to the cargo hold and fuel tank. The need for such a huge fuel tank was quickly explained.
Different from Li Ruobai's plan to use an anti-gravity engine to reduce the weight of the spacecraft, the experimental method is simple and crude: using a primitive rocket engine to push the spacecraft away from the planet.
A primitive thing like a rocket engine can be built in one day under the current production conditions, and it is still a complex model. With the materials in the experimental base, producing high-energy fuel is not a problem. Chu Jungui directly strapped six rocket engines to the spacecraft in one go. After taking off, he abandoned two and flew to Planet No. 1 with the remaining four.
The gravity of Planet 1 is much greater than that of Planet 2, so Chu Jungui’s solution is to use more rocket engines.
When they find the target spacecraft, they will rebuild four to six rocket engines on the spot, and then all the rocket engines will be overloaded together to send the spacecraft into space, which will complete the historical mission. By then, the spent rocket engines will be discarded and turned into space junk.
By that time, the winter hunting team will return to Planet 2 with coordinate data and a cabin full of rare metals and fusion fuel. When they returned, the remaining personnel should have built more rocket engines.
That's right, Chu Jungui wants to use massive rocket engines to send materials into space and assemble a new long-distance spacecraft directly in space.
This was the idea used by the earliest humans when they left their home planet. Unexpectedly, it would reappear in the hands of test subjects more than a thousand years later. It's just that today is different from the past. The efficiency of high-energy fuel extracted through the experimental base equipment is more than double that of the most efficient fuel used by humans in the past. Therefore, the carrying capacity of rocket engines has also increased exponentially.
Now a newly built high-thrust rocket can easily put nearly a hundred tons of payload into orbit. The difference is that it only takes three days for the experimental base to build a launch vehicle. By the time Li Ruobai and Chu Jungui returned from Planet 2, at least seven or eight rockets were available.
This mode of transportation can be described as economical and affordable.
Finally, the test body finally added a somewhat technical design, which was to install a few stellar sails to accelerate in space.
All in all, in order to reach Planet No. 1 faster and more accurately, the test subject cut off all designs that he considered useless. Li Ruobai even suspected that if it weren't for the fact that there was still some distance between the two planets and it would take a long time on the way, Chu Jungui might even cut down the toilet.
The advantages of this solution are very obvious. First of all, there is no need to wait for several months, up to twenty days, before the spacecraft can hit the road. Then it no longer takes a month to fly to Planet No. 1, ten days is more than enough. When they come back, they can immediately start building a new long-distance spaceship, and build a temporary communication tower to notify Shengtang to respond.
Looking at the new plan that was finally formed, Li Ruobai's face turned red. He held it in for a long time before saying a few words: "You are too ugly, aren't you?"
Chu Jungui's final plan was to tie a circle of small pillars to a large thick pillar. As for the two ion engines, they were buried in the pillars and could not be seen at all.
The more Li Ruobai looked at it, the more awkward he became. He couldn't help it anymore. He pointed at the circle of small pillars and said, "Can't you add another one here? It just fills this gap."
"Why add one more? Six is enough."
"But seven of them fit in a circle!"
"No need for seven."
"Then you can make it thicker, and six of them can be placed in a circle."
Chu Jungui felt that Li Ruobai was a little confused, "The power is enough now, there is no need to be thicker."
"Do you have to leave an empty space here?" Li Ruobai began to roar.
The test subject still could not understand the inner world of a patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder, and shook his head in rejection again.
The more Li Ruobai looked at it, the more irritable he became. The gap was particularly dazzling, and he wished he could stand up and fill it.
In the end, he had no choice but to look at Lin Xi and said, "Sister Xi, you decide! I can't do anything with this kid."
Lin Xi was silent.
Li Ruobai snorted and said to Chu Jungui: "You expect Sister Xi to ride in this broken spaceship of yours? Just dream!"
The test subject didn't speak. Originally, he was just giving a suggestion, and the final decision rested with Lin Xi.
Lin Xi didn't hesitate for long before making a decision.
Half a month later, a large pillar with six small pillars tied together emitted blazing tail flames, slowly rose into the sky, and then flew faster and faster, disappearing into the sky in the blink of an eye.
On the spaceship, Li Ruobai's face turned red. He waved his hands excitedly and kept saying: "How can this be possible? How come Sister Xi has become such a person? This is impossible!"
Chu Jungui came over pushing a rectangular box, expressionless, and said, "Stop complaining, go in and sleep."
Li Ruobai was dejected and followed Chu Jun back to the living area.
On the ground, Lin Xi stood on the roof of the building, watching the spacecraft fly away.
