Movie black technology

The outside world is in a state of uproar because of the plasma battery, and some people even think that the situation has reached the brink of war.

But these turmoil has nothing to do with Chen Shen, the instigator.

At most people mention his name in passing when reporting the news, and most people don't blame his inventor for the current tensions in the world and the frequent tragedies everywhere.

So he is now in the big factory in the mountains, watching the production of plasma thrusters, and watching the rapid progress of the Black Antelope project in the system.

Since the birth of the plasma battery these days, the progress of the Black Antelope project has rapidly advanced to 92%.

When Crimson Storm started preparing for the deep dive mission, the progress of the project had just reached 60%.

After the launch of the plasma battery sample, the rate of increase of the project has far exceeded the usual speed, even the few days of deep diving in the crimson storm cannot compare.

In the final analysis, most people watch the Crimson Storm just for fun, but the plasma battery is really related to every country and every person on earth.

According to the current progress, it is estimated that the Black Antelope project will be completed after the birth of these plasma thrusters for testing.

Chen Shen turned his eyes back to the machine in front of him. It looked similar to the total assembly machine of nanowire tubes. They were both huge and incomparably huge. Many kinds of machines were rigidly assembled together, like a deformed child.

However, at this time, the item conceived inside it can be said to be one of the highest technological crystallizations of human beings—the plasma nano-thruster after three-dimensional nano-processing.

According to the previous estimated construction period, this assembly line only needs 20 days to produce 500,000 nano-thrusters, which can theoretically meet the needs of a set of propulsion units.

However, this is an ideal situation. All production has a good rate. No one can say how many of the 500,000 nano-thrusters can pass.

Chen Shen stared at the parameters on the screen and pondered.

The current batch of nano-thrusters has already started production when Crimson Storm completed its deep dive. Now it is approaching the late stage of production. The nano-thrusters inside have been automatically processed and are being screened.

After passing the screening, the nano-thrusts will enter the assembly line and be automatically assembled on the thrusters also produced by this machine.

Theoretically, the propulsion unit after this step of production can be directly installed on the spacecraft for use.

However, for the sake of safety, some essential tests still need to be prepared.

Therefore, the first set of propulsion units will be sent to the test bench for test run according to the usual practice.

The so-called test run means trial operation.

"Chief Master, Team Leader Tang sent over a report." At this moment, a person came from behind and handed over a document.

Chen Shen took it over, and on the first page was the fuselage of the Tibetan Antelope that had been put into production.

During this period of time, the fuselage has not only been manufactured, but also the whole machine test except the propeller has been carried out.

As for the result, judging from the report sent back by Tang Huacong, the effect is obviously very good, fully reaching the previous technical indicators.

Although the technology of the Tibetan Antelope has surpassed the current era, in the final analysis it is not a technology like a Dyson ball, it is just a spaceship in the Earth-Moon system.

In the case of technical theory and specific parameters, it is not impossible for one country to build the fuselage of a spaceship regardless of the cost.

For a big country, many things are not done, not because it cannot be done, but because it is not cost-effective to do it, or there are more economical options to choose from.

Like emigrating to Mars.

If you have to do it with the current technology, it is not impossible.

Sending a small number of people to emigrate to Mars and building a living base for them will definitely be no problem.

But the cost will be so high that it will scare people to death. Just like when landing on the moon, thousands of engines are built to test run, find out the key problems and solve them. Migration to Mars can also be done in the same way. Launch the immigrant simulation spaceship, and correct where there is a problem.

It's just that the reality is not to play Kerbal. If the cost is calculated by hundreds of billions of dollars if it is hard piled up by practice, it will be small, and the return of landing on Mars is obviously impossible to be so large.

Therefore, the whole world can only invest slowly, let researchers give full play to their subjective initiative, and wait for the development of technology and the maturity of factors such as the timing and environment.

Commonly known as "money-saving scientific research", if you can calculate it, don't do the experiment, if you can do the experiment once, don't do it twice, even if you pay a lot of time for it.

However, the Tibetan Antelope is different. It belongs to the "immigrant Mars" that was piled up regardless of the cost.

Of course, the cost of the Tibetan Antelope cannot be as high as that of emigrating to Mars.

Chen Shen briefly read the report from beginning to end, and put it together after making sure that there were no unexpected problems.

He originally expected to complete the first test flight of the Tibetan Antelope in May, but now it seems that he is too optimistic.

The propulsion speed of the plasma thruster has been completely out of touch with the spaceship itself.

Other technologies are already undergoing complete machine testing, and it will take a few days for the thrusters to see the real thing. After the test run is completed, the second batch of thrusters will be manufactured and installed on the spacecraft. It should be already June.

Fortunately, more than this one thruster assembly machine was built, otherwise he didn't know how long he would have to wait just for the thruster.

Chen Shen glanced at the time, it was already April 27, and the possibility of the Tibetan antelope's first flight in May had been reset to zero.

This is his first time-lapse project.

"The screening results are out."

Just thinking about it, a small cart was sent out from the factory.

There is a large mass of wet and greasy powder on it, which at first glance looks like a pile of flour soaked in water.

But God Chen knew what it was.

He immediately walked over and said, "Send it for testing immediately."

Chen Shen looked at the powder in the glass box, which was much finer than flour.

If it wasn't for the accumulation of piles, they might not even be able to see such a pile of things.

These powders are actually nano propellers, which are unqualified products screened out by machines through solutions.

The production of nanowires is relatively simple, and the yield rate is quite high. At present, each batch is maintained at more than 95%. However, looking at the pile of powder just now, Chen Shen knows that the thruster may not be able to maintain the yield rate of nanowires.

"Okay." Someone came over immediately to send these thrusters to the laboratory not far away.

To measure the yield rate, the first step is not to use a microscope or other instruments, but to send the thruster to the simplest electronic scale.

The most high-end equipment often only needs the simplest inspection...
