Chapter 41 Modification

In space, heat dissipation is actually a relatively difficult task due to the lack of medium.

Therefore, the temperature control system of the spacecraft is a very important component of the spacecraft.

The current heat dissipation method of the Iron Ore mainly relies on the heat sink to cool down by heat radiation.

In general, the efficiency is very low. When an unexpected situation occurs, it can basically only rely on the several water-cooled temperature control systems that come with the spacecraft to absorb the temperature first and then slowly release it.

Therefore, Chen Ming plans to modify the spacecraft's heat conduction pipeline and add a new subsystem to the temperature control system, an emergency heat dissipation system.

In extreme cases, the temperature can be quickly transferred to the medium prepared in the emergency heat dissipation system, and the medium with a large amount of heat energy can be discharged outside the spacecraft to stabilize the temperature inside the spacecraft.

For example, if the engine overheats, this system can quickly stabilize the temperature of the engine.

After Chen Ming modified the overload power grid for the spacecraft before, if the engine is overloaded, overheating is basically inevitable.

After all, Chen Ming used the overload power grid when he first came into contact with the mechanical family. The actual experience is that the temperature of the spacecraft has increased significantly when the overload is started.

Therefore, in addition to modifying the emergency cooling system, Chen Ming also plans to make some modifications to the engine.

If we use the options on the panel, the modification of the temperature system is [Emergency Cooling Device].

And the modification of the engine is [Engine Isolation Assembly].

Even if the engine is not overloaded, the natural heat dissipation will increase the temperature of the engine compartment, which will cause an additional burden on the cooling system of the spacecraft itself.

Through the additional isolation assembly, the engine itself is isolated from the engine compartment.

In this way, the engine can better utilize the engine's own water cooling system, and the cabin temperature can also be better controlled.

Chen Ming can also pull a special heat conduction pipe to connect the emergency cooling system and the engine to improve the protection of the engine.

This is definitely good for the future operation of the spacecraft.

This is a modification idea that Chen Ming thought about for a long time.

Because the spacecraft is still in the acceleration stage, there is no way to modify the exterior of the spacecraft, and only the interior of the spacecraft can be modified.

And inside the spacecraft.

There is nothing to modify in the captain's room at present. There is only a chair and the bridge equipment for controlling the spacecraft.

I drive the spaceship by myself not by the equipment in the captain's room, but by my consciousness, so there is no need for transformation.

The living cabin has been transformed before, and a studio has been built.

The planting cabin is currently operating well, and even if I want to transform it, I don't know the relevant agricultural knowledge.

The storage cabin is now full of materials, and I can't find where to modify it.

As for the working cabin, where are the asteroids rich in minerals for the spacecraft to collect after leaving Raymu? There is no need for transformation.

So in the end, Chen Ming's eyes fell on the engine cabin and the temperature control system closely related to the engine cabin.

With the overloaded power grid in front, the transformation of the engine cabin is very necessary.

This is the most appropriate transformation that Chen Ming should do at present after excluding other options.

The emergency cooling system was finally placed in the working cabin by Chen Ming. It happened that the working cabin did not need to be transformed in a short time, and there was an ore absorption pipeline connected inside and outside.

It is very convenient to open a new pipeline for the discharge of the medium of the emergency cooling system next to it.

The only problem is that Chen Ming currently has the most efficient medium for heat conduction, which can absorb the most heat in the shortest time.

It is silver, in bulk.

Although it was a bit painful, Chen Ming finally prepared the silver he had saved from smelting the mechanical family and the mind pulse generator.

It will be added during the modification later.

The modification Chen Ming personally carried out started on the fifteenth day after the spacecraft set off and lasted until the end of the second month.

It took a lot of time.

After all, this was the first large-scale modification Chen Ming had carried out.

Without experience, he had to be cautious and tentative in many places. Once any signs of problems appeared, he would directly use the panel to repair it as before.

Although it was slow, it was at least stable and safe.

And with repeated experiments and operations, Chen Ming's skills were also improving rapidly.

When the modification reached the final stage, Chen Ming's proficiency in the modification was completely different from the beginning.

The next modification will definitely be more efficient.

On the fifty-eighth day after the spacecraft set off, Chen Ming's modification of the spacecraft temperature system was completely completed.

The engine was isolated.

The emergency cooling system was placed in another corner of the working chamber opposite the smelting furnace.

It can also be used to assist in cooling in normal times, so that you don't have to make something that you don't know when it will be used.

Then it's the next transformation.

Chen Ming had already thought about it before, which was the transformation of two Type I mechanical electromagnetic javelins.

According to the display on the panel, Chen Ming has four transformations to make.

[Ballistic rangefinder], which uses laser to quickly measure the relative position with the target, is very helpful for weapon aiming.

[Target positioning system] is similar to the weapon guidance system that comes with the spacecraft.

However, the Iron Ore is a civilian ship, and the guidance system has limitations when it leaves the factory, and can only lock objects such as meteorites and asteroids.

This modification allows the weapon to automatically lock any target set by Chen Ming.

Then there is [Additional coil], which can increase the range and bullet speed of the electromagnetic bullet. For electromagnetic weapons, bullet speed is power.

Chen Ming originally planned to do the last modification himself.

Just like the previous modification of the pistol, the most basic magnetic live bullet used in the electromagnetic javelin was modified.

It was only after Chen Ming actually made a few new bullets that he found that if he manually replaced the bullets in the weapon.

Then during the next maintenance, the bullets that Chen Ming replaced himself would become the original bullets again.

Only through the modification of the panel can the bullets be restored normally during repair.

So Chen Ming could only let the panel do the modification of this bullet directly.

The final modification option selected was to extremely enhance the penetration ability of the electromagnetic javelin [armor-piercing electromagnetic bullet].

The modification of the weapon was relatively simple.

Because Chen Ming had discovered that the modification on the 22mm machine gun that was replaced was also brought down.

In other words, Chen Ming could directly replace the electromagnetic javelin, modify it, and then replace it.

Very convenient.

A few days later, with the weapon modification completed.

The spacecraft has completely entered the stage of stable flight.

So in the next period of time, Chen Ming plans to carry out a major project.

Modify the external armor of the spacecraft.
