Homo sapiens

Chapter 462 New Ideas
Harij Space City.

The space carrier slowly parked on a large flat Gobi Desert on the east side.

This gigantic creature, parked on the ground, is even taller than the buildings in Kharij Space City.

After a while, the security convoy of the Aerospace City base rushed out from the east gate of the base, bringing up a large cloud of dust, and more than 30 armored vehicles came in three directions.

It is obvious that the base chief attaches great importance to Li Qingye's safety, and has sent almost a quarter of the base's security force.

Although the security force around Li Qingye is very strong, the space fleet in the sky turns on the magnetic field radar at its maximum power, not letting go of any disturbance within a radius of several hundred kilometers.

In fact, the location of Harrij Space City is already in the hinterland, and the surrounding area is where the full-power branch of Homo Sapiens is located.

Especially in places like Harrij Space City, there are basically no outsiders around, and they are all new human employees of Homo Sapiens.

After more than 20 minutes.

When Li Qingye saw the security convoy arriving, he took the elevator down from the space carrier.

Outside the car window, except for the Gobi Desert and sand, there is rarely even a trace of green in the scenery that greets our eyes.

Although this place belongs to the Khalij Oasis, to be precise, it is actually a desert highland.

This is also to make full use of land resources. The core area of ​​the Khalij Oasis is a low-lying area with an altitude of less than 200 meters, while the location of the Aerospace City has an altitude of about 320-340 meters.

Low-lying areas are prioritized as seawater agricultural development zones, while cities, industrial bases, and security bases are distributed on the edge of the Gobi Desert and desert highlands.

Soon the security team escorted Li Qingye into the space city.

The entire Harrij Aerospace has a very large area, which is mainly divided into four areas, the living area, the industrial area, the transportation system, and the launch site.

Among them, the launch site is the farthest from the base, connected by a special super track and road, and the distance between the two places is 27 kilometers.

The reason for doing so far is mainly for safety reasons.

After all, submetallic hydrogen is, to put it bluntly, a super explosive, and the technical road of Khalij Space City is to use submetallic hydrogen as the propulsion fuel of the space shuttle. A flight needs several thousand tons of submetallic hydrogen, which is roughly equivalent to 10,000+ tons of TNT.

Such a huge submetallic hydrogen, once an accident occurs, it can spread to a radius of 10 kilometers in an instant.

Therefore, metalloid hydrogen is produced and used on the spot, and will not be transported and stored for a long time. The production workshop of metallohydrogen is also on the side of the launch site, not in the industrial area.

For this kind of terrifying explosives, the management staff of Harija Space City dare not take it lightly, after all, this kind of thing is related to their own lives.

Li Qingye went to the living area of ​​the base and visited the ordinary employees working there.

Then I met with base chief Du Hai and chief engineer Mi Gaoyang.

Mikoyan explained with some embarrassment: "Mr. Chairman! I'm very sorry! The progress of the launch, which was originally planned to be in June this year, had to be postponed to the end of the year due to some technical reasons."

"It doesn't matter, things will never go smoothly." Li Qingye looked at Du Hai again: "You came to work here from the Luzon branch, get used to it!"

Du Hai nodded: "It's okay, just get used to it."

"Tell me what problem you encountered?"

Dr. Mikoyan quickly explained: "The main issue is the regulation of the explosion time."

Then he turned on the holographic projection and projected the design model of the super shuttle Ra.

Li Qingye quickly saw the problem Dr. Mikoyan mentioned.

The problem is that the engine of the space shuttle is designed with a solid rocket motor, which causes a violent explosion to occur instantly after the engine ignites submetallic hydrogen, thereby pushing the space shuttle to accelerate.

However, here lies the problem. Dr. Mikoyan’s design is to use special interlayer materials to separate the explosion time of submetallic hydrogen, so as to evenly distribute the explosion thrust.

The design is very good, but the compartment material is not easy to deal with.

The strength is too low to achieve the effect of temporary barrier.

If the intensity is too high, the metal-hydrogen explosion may be delayed, causing the two previous explosions to be unable to continue, and even the next explosion will directly tear the engine explosion chamber.

Even though Dr. Mikoyan and a group of researchers have found a relatively reasonable barrier strength range through repeated tests, in a series of actual tests, there are still problems of sudden early explosion or delayed explosion.

"...The reason for this problem is that the violent explosion will produce some unpredictable disturbances, which will cause the stagnation time of the barrier layer to be short and sometimes long." Dr. Mikoyan was a little helpless.

Li Qingye also looked at the progress of the simulation in the holographic projection, and fell into deep thought.

Suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, Li Qingye, who has a super brain, is not only very good at biology and medicine, but also at the top level in other subjects, but he usually doesn't show much.

"You should try electric cooling."

"Huh?" Dr. Mikoyan was confused.

Li Qingye reminded: "Gold-based materials can be quickly refrigerated, coupled with nuclear batteries, can quickly create an ultra-low temperature environment with a temperature of minus 180 degrees Celsius, and the system is very simple and compact."

"Gold-based electrothermal material?" Of course Dr. Mikoyan knew about this material. After all, part of the system in his space shuttle design needed to use this material.

It's just that he can't make a turn for the cooling of electrothermal materials and solving the problem of explosion delay control.

"Give up the design plan of using solid rocket motors, and use detonation engines! Then make submetallic hydrogen into small balls, adopt a design similar to a magazine clip, and inject the small balls into the explosion chamber of the detonation engine one by one."

Detonation engine?
small ball?

clip?

Gold-based electric heating material refrigeration?

Dr. Mikoyan reassembled it in his mind, and found that this system can indeed effectively control the problem of submetallic hydrogen explosion control.

Originally, they designed the engine of the space shuttle as a solid rocket motor because submetallic hydrogen is difficult to preserve.

Although the size of the super space shuttle is huge, it is difficult to integrate a compact and efficient ultra-low temperature system.

After all, this is to refrigerate thousands of tons of submetallic hydrogen and maintain ultra-low temperatures for several hours. The bloated refrigeration system cannot be packed inside the space shuttle.

The emergence of gold-based electrothermal materials solved this problem, allowing the interior of the space shuttle to be equipped with an ultra-low temperature enclosure system.

Feeling that this plan has a great success rate, Dr. Mikoyan also became excited: "Mr. Chairman, please allow me to simulate this plan."

"Don't be too cautious, you can simulate this plan."

"Then I won't accompany you." Dr. Mikoyan hurriedly took his assistant and ran to do the simulation experiment.

And Du Hai hurriedly apologized: "Sorry! Mr. Chairman, Dr. Mikoyan is a bit straight."

Li Qingye waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, let's go to other industrial areas."

"Yes." Du Hai secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

As for Dr. Mikoyan, he had already returned to his office. He immediately summoned more than a dozen engine design engineers and related researchers in the space city, and began to prepare for the simulation experiment.
