After completing the last overall inspection, Xiao Yu issued the order to ignite and launch.
A light yellow flame was ejected from the tail of the rocket. Under the reverse thrust of the flame, the huge rocket began to rise slowly, faster and faster. After a few seconds, the rocket flew to an altitude of tens of meters, with its body tilted slightly.
A little further, it flew into the sky in the direction of Titan's rotation.
The advantage of this is that it can use a little bit of Titan's rotation speed to more easily reach orbiting speed, which can save a lot of fuel.
The Fengshen-1 helicopter rose to an altitude of 10,000 meters, where it silently watched the huge rocket flying higher and higher. During this launch event, Fengshen-1 temporarily served as a communication transfer station.
A minute later, the rocket reached Titan's orbit and successfully separated from the engine. Then the cabin opened and a string of twelve fixed satellites flew out.
This is the other side of Titan. Due to the lack of sufficient communication relay stations, they have temporarily left Xiao Yu's monitoring range. In other words, these things have disappeared from Xiao Yu's sight.
The next actions are no longer carried out under Xiao Yu's command, but are run by the program compiled by himself.
Xiao Yu waited silently on the ground. If everything goes well, he will receive the signal transmitted back by the first satellite in thirty minutes. This time should not exceed forty minutes at most. If it takes forty minutes
After that, Xiao Yu has not received the satellite return signal, which proves that the launch failed.
Xiao Yu was confident in the program segment he had reserved on the satellite, but he still couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. Looking at the shrinking countdown, Xiao Yu was full of expectations.
In the orbit one hundred kilometers away from Titan, there are two strings of candied haws-like things floating quietly. They have acquired a speed of 2.4 kilometers per second, which has exceeded the speed of Titan.
1 cosmic speed, so they will not fall.
Behind them are the remains of the rocket slowly falling to the ground. The rocket has completed its mission and is about to fall to the ground, and then disappear while rubbing against the atmosphere.
The silence only lasted for ten seconds. After ten seconds, the two strings of candied haws-like objects suddenly made a little noise. Then, the thing that maintained the connection between them suddenly broke, and the two strings of candied haws-lubs turned into twelve separate ones.
of individuals.
However, their orbit, speed and other parameters have not changed, so they still maintain their previous appearance, flying forward in silent formation.
After another ten seconds, the tails of these twelve things suddenly emitted weak light blue flames at the same time. Driven by the light blue flames, they moved away from each other in an orderly manner, with a large enough distance between them.
After that, the light blue flame suddenly grew bigger, pushing them to fly away quickly, like a group of toads shocked by thunder.
They are each looking for their own track under the guidance of their respective reserved programs.
On the ground, Xiao Yu stared at the time in a daze. Half an hour had passed, but he still did not receive any return signal.
"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, there are still ten minutes before the deadline." Xiao Yu comforted himself. Then, just after this thought flashed through, a string of radio waves was transmitted into Xiao Yu's receiver.
"Report to base, Ares 1 is working normally!"
"Ares" is the codename given by Xiao Yu to these satellites, namely Ares 1 to Ares 12.
"Great!" After receiving this return message, Xiao Yu was overjoyed and immediately took over control, ordering Ares 1 to immediately contact the remaining eleven satellites.
"Report to base, Ares 7 is working normally!"
"Report to base, Ares 4 is working normally!"
…
"Report to base, Ares 12 is working normally!"
Twelve satellites, all working normally!
Xiao Yu breathed a huge sigh of relief.
From then on, these satellites will be connected into a large network in the sky, covering the entire planet. As long as receiving and transmitting equipment is installed, Xiao Yu can already communicate with any place on the surface of Titan. It will no longer be like before.
In that case, the control range can only be reduced to a radius of 500 kilometers.
"Okay, Fengshen-1! Let's go!"
Xiao Yu was full of confidence. With the satellite network as an information and communication transfer station, Xiao Yu immediately dispatched the Fengshen-1 helicopter and continued the detection along the place where it was last detected.
Although Xiao Yu had already drawn a rough three-dimensional map before landing on Titan, and also made a rough detection of the distribution of minerals, the detection accuracy at high altitude is really not as good as that on the ground.
Detection. In order to obtain further detailed information on the distribution of minerals on Titan, Xiao Yucai built Fengshen-1.
Xiao Yu estimates that it will only take about three months for Fengshen 1 to detect the entire Titan. Then, Xiao Yu will select some valuable mineral deposits and use Fengshen 1 to transport some robots there to carry out field work.
Survey. If there is mining value, suitable mining and smelting equipment will be transported there.
The matter of launching the satellite came to an end, and Xiao Yu began to work hard to develop a new generation of new computers.
Regarding the next generation of computers, there are many research directions on earth. Generally speaking, they are divided into photon computers, quantum computers, neuron computers, etc. Xiao Yu’s main research direction is photon computers. Because photon computers are the most practical and useful
possible.
Photonic computers have the advantages of low energy consumption and high computing speed. Xiao Yu estimates that with the same volume and the same energy consumption, the photon computer will be at least hundreds of times faster than his current ordinary computers.
By that time, the limitation of computing power will completely disappear. Even if Xiao Yu builds a few more bases, the computing power will be completely sufficient.
Xiao Yu had already started research in this area when he was on Earth. The original plan was to install a photon computer on his spacecraft. However, because some technical obstacles had not been overcome, Xiao Yu had no choice but to use the current computer. However,
Xiao Yu's research on photon computer technology can be regarded as the most profound on earth.
Now, with the support of super computing power and outstanding innovative thinking, Xiao Yu broke through the technical barriers in just three months. The photon computer successfully entered the application stage from the laboratory.
"With my current level of distributed computing technology, well, the best solution is to use 300,000 photon CPUs to assemble them. If there are any more, the level of distributed computing will not be enough, which will lead to a decrease in computing power."
Xiao Yu made an estimate and after reaching the conclusion, he immediately started large-scale manufacturing of photonic computers.
The assembly location this time was in the center of the base. Here, Xiao Yu used the most advanced materials, and even asked "No. 1" captured from Jupiter to help improve the material performance, and then he built the machine room with confidence.
.
There is no way, it is expected that Xiao Yu will live here for nearly a hundred years, so Xiao Yu cannot help but be cautious. With such a mentality, the strength of this computer room is almost unbelievable, even if a nuclear bomb explodes at close range
, will not have any impact on the interior of the computer room. The price paid is that the radiation intensity of "No. 1" is reduced by a full 20 percentage points.
There are thousands of robots busy in the computer room, putting the photon hard drives into the cabinet in order. Inside is the liquid hydrogen cooling pool, and the robots are busy placing photon CPUs one by one in the liquid hydrogen.
above the slot.
This computer room is several hundred square meters in size and is divided into several small areas, including data storage areas, computing areas, link areas, cache areas, etc. There are countless black-coated optical fibers connecting each component.
Connected.
After the construction of the photon computer was completed, Xiao Yu couldn't wait to get here through the data cable. Then, with a slight turn of his head, Xiao Yu was immediately overjoyed by its super fast speed.
In the past, to analyze the operation mode of electrons and the impact on the final result in a controllable nuclear fusion reaction, Xiao Yu needed to use 5% of the total computing power to calculate the time for three hours, but now, it takes only an instant to calculate
It turns out that even calculating pi to one gigabit decimal point only takes a few tenths of a second. Its calculation speed is more than a hundred times faster than before. According to Xiao Yu's estimate, the calculation speed of this photon computer is,
It is definitely more than a thousand times faster than the original central computer!
Xiao Yu was filled with joy and immediately started the data transfer work. You must know that the data generated in the few years after leaving the earth were all stored on the original hard drives. If these hard drives are lost, it means that Xiao Yu
Forgetting this knowledge and information is something Xiao Yu will never allow.
The transmission of huge amounts of data, measured in petabytes, lasted for almost three months before it was completely transferred to Xiao Yu's new home.
All the original data interfaces were transferred to Xiao Yu's new home, and huge amounts of data were still rolling in. However, in the face of Xiao Yu's incredible computing power, it became a small stream trying to destroy the dam.
, seems extremely ridiculous.
Xiao Yu handles all kinds of data in the sky, on the ground, and even underground with ease and ease, and is extremely comfortable.
During this period, Xiao Yu discovered a total of 365 various mineral deposits, of which 96 were valuable for mining, basically covering various elements currently needed. Only titanium and zirconium were used for space navigation.
Xiao Yu was very sorry that no vein of extremely important metal could be found.
"Relying on associated ores to obtain titanium and zirconium, the yield is too low. Well... On the earth, the reserves of titanium and zirconium are very high. Perhaps, it is time to consider launching a spacecraft to mine in the asteroid belt of the earth. However,
This will be after the successful development of controllable nuclear fusion."
"Then, controllable nuclear fusion research begins!"
