Accelerating with all its strength, the Hope's speed climbed to 400 kilometers per second, consuming one-fifth of its conventional fuel reserves. But it finally escaped, and Xiao Yu was very happy in his heart.
The program on the Hope began to run and automatically captured the wood spirit attached to the shell of the Hope. At the same time, Xiao Yu had a little curiosity in his heart.
"Why do these wood spirits attack me? Why are these wood spirits so much stronger than ordinary wood spirits?"
Several questions were wandering in Xiao Yu's mind.
Suddenly, a strange phenomenon caught Xiao Yu's attention.
Xiao Yu divided the wood spirits captured during this period into more than twenty parts, and each part was stored in a special box with high radiation resistance. The strange phenomenon occurred in the box where the mutated wood spirits were captured behind the confinement.
In this box, in addition to the dozen mutated wood spirits, there are also about hundreds of ordinary wood spirits that were caught before.
Through the observation instrument, Xiao Yu clearly saw that the mutated wood spirits showed unusual aggression. They bit the ordinary wood spirits fiercely and swallowed them up in one bite. At the same time, they
The radiation intensity itself has also increased.
"This is, this is..." Xiao Yu was shocked and confused.
Soon, these dozen mutated wood spirits devoured hundreds of ordinary wood spirits, and then, these dozen mutated wood spirits began to fight and devour each other again.
It took a full hour for them to finish their battle, and at this time, there was only one wood spirit left in the box. Its strength was a full two hundred and fifty times that of ordinary wood spirits.
Xiao Yu's heart moved, and he commanded the Hope to open a small opening in the box where it was imprisoned. Immediately, as if it had received some order, the wood spirit suddenly rushed towards the gap, as fast as lightning. Thanks to the action of the program,
Faster, the gap was blocked the moment before it escaped.
"In addition to instinct, it also has rudimentary wisdom!" Xiao Yu was shocked, "No wonder I was attacked! The most powerful wood spirit must have similar rudimentary wisdom, so it took the initiative
Attack me!"
"Devour, evolve, that's it! But I think only some special wood spirits have such abilities. Although the group of wood spirits I captured at the beginning merged into one, they didn't show any intelligence."
Xiao Yu thought silently, "This will cause trouble. Jupiter is so big, who knows how many wood spirits have evolved wisdom. It will not be so easy to catch them in the future."
"But fortunately, the Hope escaped this time. We will figure out what to do next." Xiao Yu shook his head and ended his thinking on this aspect.
More than half a month later, the Hope successfully returned to Titan, and then took on the busy tasks of collecting nuclear fusion fuel, transporting supplies between interstellar areas, repairing damaged satellites, etc. It was so busy that it took half a year for the Hope to return to Titan.
Got some free time.
On Titan, everything is developing in an orderly manner. Under the existing ninety-three bases, Xiao Yu built another high-energy physics research institute and began to conduct research on physical theory.
There is no doubt about the importance of physical theory. The development of human society to the present is due to the two major theories established almost a hundred years ago, the theory of relativity and quantum theory. Even all Xiao Yu's current achievements are due to the aging of these two major theories.
Ben. If he does not conduct new theoretical physics research, Xiao Yu will soon not know how to develop the future.
Regarding the next step of theoretical research, Xiao Yu focuses on the "space" direction. Quantum theory describes microscopic particles, and relativity describes the macroscopic world and combines matter and energy. Under the current physical foundation, the next step in physics
The development direction is probably "space".
However, theoretical research is a delicate job, and Xiao Yu has no intention of producing a result in a short period of time.
In addition to the Institute of High Energy Physics, Xiao Yu also built another base, which is responsible for the research of various special materials. Although the research on black insect corpses and wood spirits started early, due to the lack of computing power in the early stage
, Xiao Yu has never carried out large-scale research. Now, as the construction of Shuguang comes to an end, Xiao Yu finally has enough energy to study this.
The other ninety-three bases have been operating well, and a large amount of materials are being produced every moment for Xiao Yu's construction. The construction of the "Township" class spacecraft, Shuguang, has come to an end, and Xiao Yu has begun to try
The construction drawings of the larger "county" class spacecraft have been constructed.
However, all of Xiao Yu's titanium and zirconium reserves are almost used up. Before the arrival of the Earth meteorite, Xiao Yu is temporarily unable to build new spacecraft.
After a long wait, Shuguang finally ushered in its test flight day.
The Shuguang is several times larger than the Hope. Correspondingly, it is much heavier than the Hope. However, the Shuguang uses the "Fusion II" engine newly developed by Xiao Yu, which can provide it with
More powerful motivation.
As the order to take off was given, the Shuguang's tail sprayed out several streams of light blue flames, and a large cloud of smoke rose on the ground. In the thick smoke, the Shuguang, which was full of science fiction, took off.
Dawn's take-off speed was not very fast, at least much slower than that of Hope. It took more than ten minutes for it to fly outside Titan's atmosphere.
Xiao Yu immediately conducted various performance tests on it.
Following Xiao Yu's instructions, the Shuguang began various difficult actions in space. For example, it flew rapidly for a period of time and suddenly stopped, or told to rotate, or fired laser cannons in flight, etc., which took a lot of trouble.
Only when he was young did Xiao Yu get all the information he wanted.
"Everything is as expected, not bad. The maximum acceleration has reached 1.5 kilometers per second, the maximum overload resistance has reached 170 times the earth's gravity, and the maximum speed with a conventional amount of fuel has reached 1,500 kilometers per second, which is very
good very good."
Looking at these experimental data, Xiao Yu nodded with satisfaction.
Although the Dawning's maneuverability is not as good as that of the Hope, its endurance, firepower, anti-attack power, maximum speed with conventional fuel, etc. are much higher than that of the Hope. The loss of maneuverability is something that cannot be done. Who can
We all know that the bigger something is, the less flexible it must be.
In Xiao Yu's plan, if an interstellar war breaks out, a spaceship like the Dawn should be the flagship of the team. It is responsible for tasks such as fire suppression and covering one's own attacks. For close combat, it should be left to a ship like the Hope.
"Village" class spacecraft, or smaller spacecraft can be used.
Xiao Yu controlled the Shuguang and flew proudly in the Saturn system, ready to beat anyone who disobeyed.
A meteorite with a diameter of about 20 meters appeared in front. Xiao Yu's heart moved: "It's just a good time to use it to test the weapon power and shell strength of the Dawn."
Xiao Yu gave the order to attack. Immediately, the instruments inside the Shuguang began to scan the meteorite. In almost ten thousandths of a second, the speed, position, orbit, center of gravity, and density of the meteorite were obtained.
After waiting for various data, the locking instrument immediately locked it, the door at the bottom of the spacecraft was opened, and the launcher was extended. On it was a space missile, and its warhead was a high-yield strategic-level hydrogen bomb.
This meteorite was flying carefree around Saturn 30,000 kilometers away from Dawn. It never imagined that it would be annihilated just because of someone's mistake.
"Launch!" Xiao Yu gave the launch order. Immediately, the mechanical arm on the launcher was released, and a stream of fire erupted from the tail of the space missile, roaring and rushing forward.
The shape of this missile is not the cylindrical shape commonly used on the earth, but a sphere. Because on the earth, the shape of a cylinder with a cone on top can minimize air resistance and increase its speed.
, but Xiao Yu is different. With Xiao Yu's current level of technology, the most important thing that needs to be overcome is not air resistance, but the tearing effect caused by strong acceleration on the missile body. The spherical shape can tear this force to the greatest extent.
The force is evenly distributed to the entire missile body to prevent the missile body from being torn apart by strong acceleration.
This is Xiao Yu’s valuable experience gained through tens of thousands of experiments.
Almost instantly, the speed of this spherical missile, under the action of the powerful jet stream from its tail, accelerated to a speed of almost two thousand kilometers per second. It only took fifteen seconds to reach this missile.
Around meteorites.
Moments before the impact, the hydrogen bomb was detonated. Under the action of endless flash and high temperature, the meteorite, which weighed about several thousand tons, was instantly vaporized and disappeared.
Tenth of a second later, powerful radiation and heat flow came to Dawn. But Dawn remained motionless. Those powerful radiation and heat did not have any impact on Dawn's high-strength outer shell.
"The power is pretty good." Xiao Yu was filled with joy.
Next, Xiao Yu tested the power of the laser cannon and the high-speed machine gun respectively. On this day, the meteorites around the Shuguang were very unlucky. Often a meteorite was carefree, and nothing happened.
It moved on its own track, provoking whomever, but at the next moment, a powerful laser from nowhere vaporized it, or a large number of high-speed machine gun bullets came and smashed it into pieces.
"Due to the size limit of the Dawn, the laser cannon is the most powerful. However, after the larger 'county'-class spacecraft is built, the power of the laser cannon can be further improved. With so many weapons, I don't care.
I won’t be afraid anymore if I encounter any blind aliens.”
Xiao Yu thought happily.
