Chapter 185 Electromagnetic Acceleration

90 days of acceleration time and 12 accelerations mean that the Xinsheng spacecraft can accelerate from rest to a maximum speed of about three kilometers, then slow down and stop, and then accelerate in the opposite direction to return to Yushen Star and stop.

From this perspective, if time is not considered, it can already independently complete the transportation task between the two planets. Of course, it must be a smaller planet, otherwise the speed of three kilometers per second cannot escape the gravity of the planet, and the cargo capacity must be very small.

The breakthroughs in nuclear fusion reactor technology and ion thruster technology are the two biggest achievements of the Yushen Star base in recent years.

In addition, Han Yang is also seizing the time to study electromagnetic acceleration technology.

Ion thrusters actually use electromagnetic acceleration technology to accelerate ions, but they are microscopic particles after all. At this moment, Han Yang is studying electromagnetic acceleration technology that can accelerate macroscopic matter.

This technology is also very important.

Not to mention the huge prospects in civilian applications, such as launching cargo boxes directly from the surface of the planet to reach space, just military applications require Han Yang to master this technology.

The mastery of electromagnetic acceleration technology means the birth of a very important weapon: electromagnetic gun.

By accelerating the projectile through electromagnetic acceleration technology, it is easy to accelerate the projectile to a speed of several kilometers per second or even more than ten kilometers in a very short time.

This speed is far beyond the limit of gunpowder guns.

Han Yang knows that electromagnetic guns are an extremely important weapon in interstellar wars. At least at the technical level of the Itar people, electromagnetic guns are indispensable.

Han Yang certainly cannot reach the technical level of the Itar people at this moment and make such advanced electromagnetic guns, not to mention the weapons and equipment that the Itar people have that are more advanced than electromagnetic guns.

But... being backward is not useless. I didn't think about a head-on conflict with you. It's okay to get some backward electromagnetic guns, arm interstellar pirates, rob merchant ships, and harass planets, right?

Han Yang is full of energy.

Yu Shenxing Grand Canyon.

Outside the Yu Shenxing base, Han Yang once again opened up a large area with a total area of ​​about three square kilometers.

Tens of thousands of robots came here like an army with many engineering machinery and immediately started related construction.

The first thing to be built is a huge nuclear fusion power station with purely independent intellectual property rights.

From the interior of the solar system, Han Yang can only "import" a relatively small-power nuclear fusion reactor device, which cannot meet the current needs. Even if his technical level is currently low, he can only build it himself.

At the same time, Han Yang also used this as an engineering test to fully verify the engineering feasibility of a complete set of nuclear fusion power generation devices with a Q value of more than 20.

For this reason, the precision casting factory and special material factory in the Yushenxing base have already started technology upgrades in advance to prepare for this engineering test.

In addition to the nuclear fusion power station, an electromagnetic accelerator device is being built.

This electromagnetic accelerator is extremely huge. Its diameter reaches 12 meters and its length is 700 meters.

Such a big guy consumes extremely terrifying power, and a separate fusion power station must be required to support its operation.

Tens of thousands of robots are like hardworking ants, carrying out construction operations under Han Yang's direct operation.

In just three months, the relevant construction has been completed.

What appeared in Han Yang's sight at this moment was a thing lying on the ground of Yushen Star, like a long snake.

In the launch room, a special alloy steel with a mass of about one kilogram and a spherical shape was transferred to the launch pad.

The electric energy from the nuclear fusion power station rolled in and was instantly converted into magnetic force through the electromagnetic transmitter, which began to push the steel ball to float in the air and accelerate rapidly.

The 700-meter-long track directly increased its speed from static to an average of about 10 kilometers per second.

The huge electromagnetic accelerator device was shaking, and a low humming sound could be heard from it where there was air, and the frequency was getting higher and higher.

Finally, the steel ball flew out of the muzzle and flew straight to the cliff wall that served as a target several kilometers ahead.

In less than a second, the steel ball hit the target silently, and gravel flew. Because of the low temperature of more than 200 degrees below zero, the hard cliff wall, which was as hard as special steel, was directly hit by the steel ball to create a big pit.

The steel ball deformed and wedged into the deep of the cliff.

After looking at the various operating data, Han Yang nodded with satisfaction: "It's OK. We need to continue to improve it in the future. Well, one is miniaturization, and the other is efficiency."

If the electromagnetic gun is too big, it is obviously impossible to install it on the spacecraft. At the same time, it will not work if the energy consumption is too high.

For example, it takes an entire nuclear fusion power station to accelerate a steel bullet to ten kilometers per second, which is too inefficient.

After establishing these two goals, coupled with the nuclear fusion power station technology, ion thruster technology, and some research projects in materials science, metallurgy, and casting engineering that were formulated before, Han Yang once again began to go all out for research and development.

These research projects are difficult to see results in a short period of time, but at this time, there are also some other things to do.

At this moment, on Earth, the ground base of the Dajiang Space Elevator.

On the platform, Han Yang, Wei Liang, He Jinrong and others are all present.

Today is the day when Wang Qing sets off to the asteroid belt to take office.

Han Yang stepped forward with heavy steps and shook hands with Wang Qing tightly.

"Take care on your journey. The asteroid belt is not like the earth. The environment is complex and dangerous. Be careful in everything."

Wang Qing looked solemn: "Han Yang, Wei Liang, don't worry."

"Take care."

After saying goodbye, Wang Qing turned around and entered the cabin of the space elevator.

The cabin rose rapidly. Looking at the rapidly shrinking ground buildings and the blue planet that gradually took on a spherical shape, Wang Qing's heart was full of emotion and determination.

"Han Yang, Wei Liang, my comrades, I will never let you down. I will definitely make a career in the asteroid belt.

No matter where I am, we are comrades who depend on each other for life and death, and we will fight together for the cause of human rejuvenation."

Asteroid belt, Gu Shen No. 1 city, a secret underground base.

A soldier hurriedly found Chu Feng: "Commander, 'Old A' sent a new message!"

"Old A" is the code name of the Survival Association for the mysterious rich businessman who has been silently providing support to the organization behind the scenes.

"Has a new batch of support arrived?"

Chu Feng was in high spirits: "Where is it? How?"

"There is indeed a new batch of support, but there are other contents as well. The message is very long. You should go and see it in person."

"Oh?"

Chu Feng stood up immediately.
