Chapter 265 The Fish Is Cooked
Wei Ming immediately adopted this plan.
However, the ring pipeline has extremely high requirements for materials, and ordinary materials will only be penetrated instantly.
Even super titanium alloys are difficult to resist. They will be severely worn and quickly scrapped after firing a few missiles.
Even the tens of thousands of degrees of high temperature generated by friction can melt many materials.
Cao Jun slightly adjusted his plan, that is, in the straight incident section of the ρ pipeline, the 10-kilometer-long straight pipeline is filled with water and rushed out at a certain flow rate, just like a high-pressure water pipe, using a ten-kilometer water flow to weaken more than half of the kinetic energy of the water drop crystal.
The rest is left to the ring wind tunnel pipeline.
So it took Wei Ming half a month to build the pipeline.
A seamless pipeline with a length of 110 kilometers, a diameter of 80 centimeters, and a wall thickness of 50 centimeters, made of high-temperature resistant super tungsten alloy material - such a pipeline can be directly used as a gun barrel, firing five times the speed of sound shells at a rate of one round per second, and it will not be scrapped after firing 100,000 rounds.
But it is still not enough.
Wei Ming also covered the main friction area of the wind tunnel pipe with a thin layer of water drop crystal material. Wei Ming collected a circle, and at the cost of scrapping the "Water Drop No. 1" spacecraft, he collected just enough water drop crystal material.
Because except for the water drop crystal itself, no material can withstand such intense friction.
Finally, the installation of pipes and equipment also took a week, and the location was still set at the Qiandao Reservoir.
Because of the need for heat dissipation, the ρ pipe must be immersed in a cold water environment to obtain sufficient cooling, otherwise it will not take long for the temperature of the wind tunnel pipe to rise to more than 5,000 degrees, close to the temperature of the sun's surface, even rocks can melt, how can there be no cooling environment?
…
March 10.
Qiandao Reservoir.
The subsonic blower is installed and can start working.
Wei Ming entered the underground space dug out of a hill on the shore.
There is a raw coal input conveyor belt near him.
In front of him is a pipe with a diameter of 30 centimeters (smaller) and a length of 300 meters, where the air is constantly and rapidly extracted in a near-vacuum environment. Further ahead is a 10-kilometer-long high-pressure water pipe.
The vacuum environment device is no longer needed now, because the air in the underground space where Wei Ming is located has been extracted by 99.9%, forming a near-vacuum working environment.
Wei Ming had to wear a bulky sealed protective suit, dragging a tail-like air pipeline behind him, and enter the underground space to work.
The reason is nothing but safety.
If the protective work is not done well, the water drop crystal with a speed of tens of thousands of kilometers per second will directly hit the water flow, and the splashing water may kill Wei Ming.
The sonic boom caused by friction with the air can instantly deafen the ears.
The working environment is vacuumed to reduce the destructive power of noise.
Of course, since it cannot be absolutely sealed, a small amount of air molecules will still remain in the working environment, but in a high-speed rotating environment, substances with different densities will be obviously layered, but only carbon elements will aggregate and compress, and finally synthesize into water drop crystals.
Other elements may also be able to synthesize new crystals, but they have not been discovered yet.
The black inside the body has been released in advance.
It started to create a gravitational vortex, absorb coal, and continuously accelerate.
Wei Ming was highly focused and operated carefully.
He was concerned about the latest type of water drop crystals, and how big they could grow.
If they were too large beyond imagination, he would rather reduce the synthesis efficiency and shoot them out in advance.
Soybean size.
Broad bean size.
Glass bead size.
Winter jujube size.
Nearly the size of a ping-pong ball... Enough, enough, this size is completely large enough, why is there a slight trend of increasing.
Launch!
Before it reached the "mature" state, Wei Ming launched it like a hot potato.
Boom~!
A loud noise came.
A slight but obvious vibration could be felt under his feet.
Wei Ming did not rush to launch the second one, but after a while, he asked through the headset: "How is it, can the pipeline withstand it?"
"Yes."
The other end of the headset said: "Within the tolerance range, you can continue."
"Okay! I'm going to increase the frequency of launch."
Wei Ming nodded and immediately accelerated the operation.
Boom boom boom!
One every ten seconds.
One every five seconds.
One every three seconds... the efficiency is at its maximum, because launching the ‘immature’ water drop crystals in advance will delay the time by about two seconds.
This frequency is already quite fast, so the experts suggested that this efficiency should be maintained, and the pipeline may not be able to bear it if it is faster.
In this state, the synthesis lasted for five hours.
The recovery team reported that 5978 steaming five-type water drop crystals that had just been taken out of the oven had been successfully collected.
The diameter is 38 mm.
The average mass of each crystal is as high as 11687.4 grams.
Multiplied by the number of nearly six thousand crystals.
The total weight exceeds seventy tons.
Wei Ming began to feel that this efficiency was too slow!
And there was always a feeling that he could not have enough fun.
Because the ‘mature’ water drop crystals, after accelerating to the maximum state, only need to reach a critical point and then push outward with a little force, as if it were a natural process, and it would be launched easily, simple and efficient.
Unlike this, if you keep "stepping on the brakes" and always pay attention to the size, you will get internal injuries.
"Forget it, keep the frequency to one every three seconds, but don't control the size, and see how big the mature state is."
A few seconds later.
A mature type V water drop crystal appeared.
An ellipsoid with a diameter of about 45 mm.
Slightly larger than a ping-pong ball.
Slightly smaller than an egg.
Then, with some trepidation, he shot the water drop crystal into the pipe.
Boom!
Wei Ming heard a loud noise.
There was a violent vibration under his feet.
"Expert Liang, can the pipe still bear it?" Wei Ming hurriedly asked the person in charge.
"I have tinnitus here and can't hear it for the time being!"
"I increased the volume of the water drop crystal. Did the wind tunnel pipe collapse?"
Wei Ming asked with a louder voice.
"It can't be increased anymore. It has obviously exceeded the upper limit. If it goes on like this, the pipe will collapse." The other party said with some fear.
"It's okay if it doesn't collapse. I don't care. One per three seconds is no problem, but the volume must be kept at the maximum... I want to continue."
"Don't do it!"
But Wei Ming ignored it. Since the first complete body survived, the rest should be able to bear it.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom! !
Until two hours later.
BOOM! A loud noise.
"Stop immediately! The ring pipeline collapsed and has been completely broken apart. Please stop firing immediately!" Expert Liang exclaimed.
Wei Ming had to stop the synthesis and let Xiao Hei swallow the growing ones.
"Mr. Wei, come out and take a look. The water in the entire Qiandao Reservoir has been heated to 34 degrees. Many fish are almost cooked."
"How is this possible?"
Wei Ming looked unconvinced. He immediately left the workspace, took off his protective clothing, and went to the lake to take a look.
The surface of the Qiandao Reservoir, covering thousands of square kilometers, was like a natural hot spring at this moment, with white mist covering the sky and the sun.
He put his hand in the lake water to feel it. It was indeed about 34 or 35 degrees. Thick fog could be found where the pipeline was placed, and the sound of boiling water could be heard.
"This..."
He was also stunned by surprise.
