Entering the center of the earth is definitely good news, and can even be said to be another milestone in the cooperation between the two parties. However, no one in the forward base or the earth is as happy as they imagined. On the contrary, they are very worried about the situation of the base in the center of the earth.
After all, it is the center of Jupiter Zero, the core area of alien forces. If something happens to the resistance organization, the forward base will not have time to rescue them.
To put it negatively, now we can only place our hope on the integrity of the resistance organization!
However, so far, the cooperation between the two parties has not gone wrong. Unless there is a major change, the possibility of the resistance organization changing its mind is not high.
From this day on, the human technical team officially settled in the center of the earth and launched a comprehensive and detailed study of the planetary engine.
Much later, this day would go down in history as an important page in the history of human spaceflight. However, when the historical event occurred, no one realized that they were making history.
From this day on, the research on planetary engines has become the top priority in Beidu. Everyone is paying attention to the small base at the zero center of Jupiter. The seeds have been planted, but no one knows whether they will be able to wait until they bear fruit.
one day.
One of Ye Han's most important tasks every day is to keep in touch with the Earth Core Base, inquire about the base's situation and research progress, and then send engineering vehicles every once in a while to deliver the supplies needed by the Earth Core Base.
, while retrieving domestic waste and written research data from the Earth Center Base, and maintaining the communication relay equipment along the way.
As the saying goes, first comes first, first comes the moon. Ye Han was at the Advanced Base and had access to the latest research data every day. However, the more he learned about the situation in the center of the earth, the more he was astonished by it.
Ye Han has long known that Europa has more than one planetary engine, but he never expected that there are more than 70 planetary engines placed in the center of the earth. The largest diameter is 97 kilometers, and the smallest diameter is more than 30 kilometers.
kilometer.
According to the information provided by the resistance organization, most of the planetary engines have been damaged during the long interstellar voyage. There are only a dozen or so that are still working today, and they are all models with a length of more than 30 kilometers. The other medium and large models have all been scrapped.
In order to avoid long nights and long dreams, the Earth Center Base immediately launched intense surveying and mapping work. It was planned to record the data of a complete engine as it was first, and we would talk about the rest later.
In the following period, Ye Han received a large amount of surveying and mapping data every day, as well as various alloy composition tables and other peripheral data. He also received several scrapped engine parts every now and then.
These parts are all picked up from scrapped engines. The main purpose of returning them to the forward base is to find out the conditions of these alloys, such as mechanical strength, melting and boiling points, tensile or compressive resistance, etc.
The research team hopes to use these data to analyze the role of these parts in planetary engines.
At the beginning, they were just small parts picked up, and soon they were just corners and corners cut from large parts. In order to facilitate the researchers to cut the parts, Beiyuezhou also specially sent a batch of high-power laser cutting equipment.
Ye Han was very surprised. Could it be that the resistance organization just ignored it and just allowed the research team to go around and do random things?
After asking the Earth Center Base, I learned that the resistance organization doesn’t care about those abandoned planetary engines at all. It’s okay for the research team to do whatever they want, but complete engines are different. Even if they are just close, there must be aliens.
Accompanied by someone.
If the scrapped engines weren't too big, the research team would even want to get a few back.
The resistance organization's heart is too big, Ye Han can't help but be speechless, this is such a bastard, Tian Tian doesn't feel sorry for it!
He couldn't help but think that if it were an alien noble, it would be impossible for humans to even see the scrapped planetary engine, let alone directly send people to study it at close range.
In order to speed up the research, Beidu has sent additional manpower three times, bringing the number of permanent residents in the core base to more than 60 people, which has greatly accelerated the progress of surveying and mapping of planetary engines. Not only small engines, but also scrapped medium and large machines are also being surveyed and mapped.
within the range.
Although the level of the research team is not bad, the technology contained in planetary engines far exceeds the level of human science and technology. Studying planetary engines with humankind's current technical strength is like using the technology of the Industrial Revolution to study modern precision machinery. The possibility of immediate results is very high.
Small, the main purpose of the research is to take advantage of this rare opportunity to retain the data of the planetary engine, and then organize manpower to study it slowly.
Moreover, although there are huge differences in the models of planetary engines, the principles should be common. The results developed on small computers may also be applied to medium and large computers, so Beidou believes that it is necessary to retain the data of medium and large computers.
A large number of additional manpower and a large amount of equipment were deployed, and the research progress was astonishing. However, after all the surveying and mapping work was completed, the research progress suddenly stalled.
It wasn't that the research team didn't want to continue, but that it simply didn't understand the principles of the planetary engine and didn't know where to start, so analyzing the metal composition became the main job of the research team.
But knowing the metal composition can only mean that you have found a research direction. If you want to make an alloy, you must conduct a lot of experiments. After the experiment is successful, you must also figure out the industrial production process. The workload here is astonishing, even if it is
The national finance may not be able to afford it.
It is impossible to comprehensively study alien alloys, but some metals with special properties have attracted Beidu's great attention. In order to understand the technology of these alloys, Beidu first coordinated with the resistance organization through negotiation channels, hoping to obtain some of the alloys.
The formula, but unfortunately the resistance organization has no concept of this at all, and has never heard of the formula.
In desperation, Beidu could only organize manpower for research, and successively established Beiyuezhou Special Metals Research Laboratory, Qiongzhou Special Metals Research Center and Beidu Special Metals Research Institute.
Ye Han also has his own opinion on this matter. He feels that it is better to start with the alien nobles than to ask for them from the resistance organization. Although half of the alien nobles on Jupiter Zero cannot be found, their residences and personal belongings
There's always something there, right? Maybe you can find something useful in it.
Ye Han submitted his opinion, and the negotiation team also communicated with the resistance organization. But for some reason, the resistance organization firmly rejected the proposal, saying that the nobles took away everything they could before leaving.
The walk was also destroyed by members of the radical resistance organization, so the resistance organization did not have anything related to the nobles.
Just when the engine research gradually reached a deadlock, the biochemical research achieved the first result since the cooperation.
