Chapter 181 Three Years
Crisis 46 years.
The space hub of Blue Star seems to be always expanding. Since Jin Qiaoying officially took office as the head of the Ministry of Economy and Trade after the previous internal meeting, the transfer of Daxia's industry to space has gradually begun to accelerate.
In the overall plan made by A-Dai, all heavy industrial projects will be transferred to the Huomu hub.
The Bluestar Hub is mainly responsible for the R&D base, as well as a small part of the manufacturing tasks of light industrial products.
In just three years, the overall scale of Xinghai Laboratory has doubled.
In the hibernation chamber on the Conqueror, thousands of family members of outstanding contributors from all walks of life who have been reviewed and qualified by A-Dai have entered a deep hibernation state.
They will be lucky enough to have a hibernation period of up to 100 years.
To Fanren's surprise, most scientists who made outstanding contributions did not choose to hibernate themselves.
After the anti-aging treatment, these scientists seemed to have a second spring. After producing research results, they did not choose to sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor, but instead plunged into the next research project and continued to contribute to human development.
Deep space, in the Conqueror.
Fan Ren and a group of scientists were listening excitedly to the monitoring data reported by A-Dai.
Due to the extremely terrifying destructive power of liquid metallic hydrogen, the explosion test of bombs made from it was eventually carried out in deep space.
Even though Fan Ren discovered this effect of liquid metallic hydrogen three years ago, in order to ensure safety, as well as the explosive power and theoretical research, their team still delayed the first test of the first bomb until three years later.
"Armor damage . The ship's speed has reached 200 meters per second due to the shock wave. Activate armor repairer."
Ah Dai's voice continued to sound. This spaceship not only has strong armor, but also has self-repair capabilities.
"Boss, at close range, it can already cause damage to the ship's armor. It's too powerful. The total explosive equivalent is equivalent to the energy of a 2 million equivalent TNT bomb, but the destructive power is much greater."
The explosion occurred 50 kilometers away from the Conqueror, but even so, it only caused a pitiful armor damage to the Conqueror.
But after hearing these data, Fan Ren's face showed excitement.
After three years of hard work, humans finally have weapons in their hands that can cause damage to strong interaction materials.
It doesn't matter if the damage is minor, they still have 46 years to fight.
The experiment here was just an interlude. After returning to the hub laboratory, Fan Ren plunged into the materials laboratory, his exclusive office.
Basic Science: Level 1 (482/1000)
Electronics: Level 1 (735/1000)
Mechanics: Level 1 (611/1000)
Materials Science: Level 1 (698/1000)
Astronautics: Level 1 (272/1000)
When consciousness returned from his mind, Fan Ren's eyes sparkled.
During these three years, he did nothing but buried himself in books, immersing himself in books on materials science that had been recorded by mankind.
There was no way around it, so now he had no choice but to use deadly methods to increase his experience points in materials science.
For three whole years, most of the other laboratories in Xinghai had achieved great results, but the team he led had remained silent, without any research results to show for itself.
Fan Ren did not make any statement on this. For the past three years, he had been living the same way as before, as if he had returned to the beginning of Xinghai's business. He ate and slept in the office, and from time to time he used the newly learned knowledge to conduct various whimsical experiments on the tri-titanium alloy.
The only difference is that the person responsible for taking care of him changed from Zeng Yingying to Shan Wu.
As his knowledge of materials science gradually deepened, he admired even more the great heights of materials science achieved by ancient humans.
Phased atomic arrangement technology is like science fiction, and humans today don't even know what its principle is. The Great Xia Space Force Fleet still uses the Young Dragon, which is mainly built with tri-titanium alloy. Under his influence, the expansion of the fleet will be put on hold until a new material that can withstand higher stress is developed.
Because the current maximum speed of the Young Dragon can only reach 1000 kilometers per second, and this speed is only possible because of its small hull and relatively simple structure.
Once it is replaced with a large warship, the structure will be more complicated and the stress tolerance will be lower.
Therefore, without other high-strength materials, the development of new spacecraft cannot effectively enhance the combat effectiveness of the space force.
In the office, the mortal stretched and his experience value reached 699.
He suppressed his excitement and shouted across the air: "A-Dai, the test results haven't come out yet?"
“It’s being tested.”
Ah Dai's answer was concise and to the point, and Fan Ren felt a little calmer. After closing the book, he lit a cigarette and leaned back in his chair to give himself a brief relaxation.
In an explosion laboratory inside the Conqueror, several scientists nervously focused their eyes on the space behind a door.
Inside, there was an ultra-compact hydrogen bomb and a standard cubic piece of tri-titanium alloy.
Now, some areas of the Conqueror have been repaired by Ah Dai, such as this explosion test room, which can be put into use.
The depth of ancient humans' research on materials science is not limited to the external armor of the Conqueror. Inside the spacecraft, this test room has even more exaggerated super materials.
The materials here can withstand explosions far beyond the external armor of the ship.
However, it is obvious that even with the highly developed technology of mankind in the past, it was extremely difficult to prepare this material.
Otherwise, it would not be possible to use it only on certain key components of the spacecraft and this laboratory.
At this moment, the nuclear bomb is placed close to the tri-titanium alloy cube.
"Detonate."
Following Ah Dai's notification, the entire test space suddenly burst into violent white light.
If it weren't for the door separating them and the special glass material that could filter high-intensity light, the scientists outside would be blinded by the light.
After a few minutes, the white light dissipated and everyone saw the scene in the laboratory again.
Nothing has changed. The outer material wrapping the nuclear bomb had already been vaporized and disappeared in the explosion.
At this time, the piece of tri-titanium alloy was still firmly fixed on the test frame.
"External features have changed, pending further test results."
Ah Dai was the first to speak, and then the door opened. An ugly metal robot flashed by and walked in with nimble steps.
The door is closed again.
Under Ah Dai's control, the robot picked up the severely deformed tri-titanium alloy and placed it in the testing room through the internal channel.
In the space hub, in the materials laboratory office where Fan Ren is located.
He pressed the burnt cigarette butt into the ashtray.
"Boss, the test results are out. Under the ultra-high pressure and ultra-high temperature environment caused by the nuclear bomb, the atomic arrangement of the tri-titanium alloy has changed."
Ah Dai's voice rang out in the office, and Fan Ren smiled comfortably when he heard it.
Materials Science: Level 1 (710/1000)
