Chapter 136 Small Actions
After completing this small base, Han Yang immediately controlled the robot and began to build the first and most important facility on Yushen Star.
The cargo boxes full of parts were transported down again and again, and many robots swarmed up and began to assemble the parts immediately after transporting them to the base.
In just a few hours, a device that looked a bit like a huge ring was successfully assembled.
This is a miniature fusion reactor.
Next to it, there is a huge metal can-shaped device covering an area of about 30 square meters.
It is a generator.
In addition to the generator, there are many cables connected.
This is the power grid.
Connecting the fusion reactor and the generator together, there is immediately a steady stream of electricity output, which is transmitted to the charging station through the power grid.
After working on Yushen Star for a long time, the robots that were almost exhausted finally ushered in a rare time to rest and "eat".
With sufficient power supply, many machines that could not be used before can finally roar to their heart's content. The number of robots working nearby has also reached 100,000.
These are the robots that Han Yang secretly saved up over the past few years, and now they have all been transported here.
One hundred thousand robots, thousands of various machines, numerous building materials, equipment, and initial startup fuel constitute all the materials in the cargo hold of the Hope, a small and medium-sized cargo spacecraft.
In addition to the nuclear fusion power station and generator, the equipment transported for the first time also includes a small ionization device that can ionize hydrogen from water ice and then further enrich deuterium.
There are three more common isotopes of hydrogen, namely protium, which is usually called hydrogen, with the most abundant content, followed by deuterium and tritium.
At this stage, the fuel used in nuclear fusion reactors in the human world is basically deuterium.
There is also a set of 3D printing equipment that can process various raw materials and print them into various parts according to Han Yang's wishes.
In the early stage of base construction, it can replace the foundry.
Then there are some mining, ore dressing, crushing and other equipment for collecting minerals.
In addition, the most important equipment is the super-distance communication sub-center equipment.
In order to house this equipment, Han Yang built a high-protection base with constant temperature and humidity for it, and carefully installed it inside.
As for the Hope spacecraft, only one set of terminal equipment was left inside.
Although the terminal equipment can also communicate over long distances, the data flow carrying capacity is relatively small. Here at the Yu Shenxing base, it can be foreseen that there will be a huge demand for data communication in the future, and a set of sub-center equipment must be required to carry it.
At this moment, the cargo in the Hope spacecraft has been unloaded. Its mass has also been reduced from the previous 90,000 tons to the current 33,000 tons.
The fusion fuel required for its space travel was also urgently produced by the Yu Shenxing base to complete the supply.
It's time to leave.
While Han Yang was busy operating the 100,000 robots in the canyon, he was also operating the robots in the Hope spacecraft and issued a return order for the spacecraft.
The high-speed ion engine started, and under the push of the bright blue light, the speed of the spacecraft slowly increased, and finally reached the escape velocity of this small planet.
Breaking free from its gravitational bondage, the Hope spacecraft sped all the way to the inner solar system.
At this moment, in the inner solar system, another Fuxing ocean transport ship set sail, left the Earth Port, and flew towards Pluto.
After completing the early acceleration and inertial navigation stages, the cargo ship loaded with 80,000 tons of cargo is about to start slowing down.
The spacecraft shipping team stood firm in the control room as if facing a great enemy, ready to deal with unexpected situations at any time.
But no one noticed, and the relevant monitoring equipment did not have any alarms, and the belly of the spacecraft suddenly opened by itself.
One after another, standard cargo boxes weighing 100 tons were "thrown" out of the spacecraft cargo hold by the robot, and a total of 50,000 tons of cargo were thrown out before it stopped.
These 50 cargo boxes were arranged in a straight line, floating in the vast space like a long snake.
The spacecraft finally began to slow down. However, these cargo boxes continued to maintain the previous speed due to the previous inertia and did not slow down.
In this way, the distance between the spacecraft and the cargo box became farther and farther.
When the distance expanded to about 10,000 kilometers, the thrusters concealed on the cargo box began to work under the power supply of the energy battery.
Although the energy density of the energy battery is extremely high, it is not as good as the nuclear fusion power station. They can only supply the micro-thrusters for less than two hours, providing them with a total acceleration of less than one kilometer.
Compared with the speed of these cargo boxes at more than one thousand kilometers per second at this moment, the acceleration of this kilometer is almost negligible.
However, Han Yang did not add this acceleration to the previous acceleration direction, but pushed them to accelerate in the direction of leaving the ecliptic plane.
The small difference in the initial direction will be a thousand miles away after the expansion of the cosmic scale.
Just this direction adjustment has changed their orbit from hitting Pluto to passing by Pluto tens of millions of kilometers away.
Because they are far away from the conventional and optimal routes, this distance is enough to ensure that they will not be discovered.
At this moment, the distance between them and Pluto has expanded to one billion kilometers, and it is still expanding.
After this spaceship, another Fuxing spaceship that was about to enter deceleration also dropped 50 cargo boxes, leaving them floating in space like space junk that no one cared about.
According to the difference in the size of the spaceship's load, under Han Yang's operation, the number of cargo boxes thrown into space was also different.
There were only 20 or so as few as 20, and more than 70 as many as many.
These were all numbers that could be covered up through account operations. Even when it came time to unload, no one could notice that there were fewer cargo boxes in the cargo hold.
In this way, no one could know Han Yang's little move without anyone noticing.
Based on Han Yang's precise operation, the total number of cargo holds thrown into space at this moment, which was as high as 600, was generally arranged in a straight line, which was very regular.
After flying for more than a year, not far from the straight line formed by these cargo boxes, a spaceship that was decelerating rapidly suddenly passed by.
The Hope spaceship came.
When the Hope spaceship decelerated to a standstill, it had already passed the last of the more than 600 cargo boxes.
After that, it began to accelerate in the opposite direction. When it caught up with the last cargo box in the row, its speed was exactly the same as its speed, so the robotic arm grabbed these cargo boxes and put them into its cargo hold.
It kept moving forward and salvaging all the way, and finally, all the more than 600 cargo boxes were salvaged.
The cargo hold that had been empty was now full again.
The fuel that the Hope spacecraft had replenished from Jade Star was almost exhausted at this moment. But it didn't matter, because there were ten cargo boxes specially loaded with fusion fuel and various supplies.
The robot was operated to open it and poured into the fuel room, and the Hope spacecraft was immediately revived with full blood.
After that, it started to accelerate again and headed straight for Jade Star, speeding faster and faster, until it accelerated to a maximum speed of more than 5,000 kilometers per second.
And, at the beginning of its acceleration, a new round of cargo box delivery had already begun behind it.
