Star Ocean: Starting from the Abandoned Mining Space Station

41 Refit
In space, due to the lack of media, heat dissipation is actually a relatively difficult thing.

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

The current method of heat dissipation in the Iron Mine mainly relies on heat sinks to cool down through thermal radiation.

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

Therefore, Chen Ming planned to modify the heat conduction pipe of the spacecraft and install a new subsystem on the temperature control system, an emergency cooling system.

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

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

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 had used the overload power grid before when he first came into contact with the mechanical race. The actual experience was that the temperature of the spacecraft increased significantly when the overload was activated.

Therefore, in addition to planning to modify the emergency cooling system, Chen Ming also planned to make some modifications to the engine.

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

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, causing additional burden on the heat dissipation system of the spacecraft itself.

The engine itself is isolated from the engine compartment through additional isolating equipment.

In this way, the engine can better utilize the water cooling system of the engine itself, and the cabin temperature can also be better controlled.

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

This will definitely be beneficial to the future operation of the spacecraft.

This is the transformation idea that Chen Ming came up with after thinking for a long time.

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

And inside the spaceship.

There is currently nothing to modify in the captain's cabin. There is only a chair and the bridge equipment to control the spacecraft.

The ability to pilot a spaceship does not rely on the equipment in the captain's room, but on consciousness, and there is no need to modify it at all.

The living cabin has been renovated before and a studio has been created.

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

The storage compartment is now filled with materials, and even if you want to modify it, you can't find where to modify it.

As for the work cabin, after leaving Ruimu, where are there mineral-rich asteroids that the spacecraft can collect?There is absolutely no need for modification.

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

With the overloaded grid at the front, modifications to the engine compartment are very necessary.

This is the most appropriate transformation that Chen Ming should make now after ruling out other options.

The emergency cooling system was finally placed in the work cabin by Chen Ming. It happened that the work cabin did not need to be modified in a short time, and there were ore absorption pipes connecting the inside and outside.

It is convenient to open a new pipe for the emergency cooling system media discharge next to it.

The only problem is that Chen Ming currently has the medium with the highest thermal conductivity, which can absorb the most heat in the shortest time.

It's silver, lots of silver.

Although he was a little heartbroken, Chen Ming finally prepared the money he had saved from smelting the mechanical clan and the psychic pulse generator.

It will be added later when remodeling.

Chen Ming's personal modifications began on the 15th day after the spacecraft departed and continued until the end of the second month.

It took a lot of time.After all, this is Chen Ming's first large-scale transformation.

Without experience, you have to be careful and try out many places. Once any problems appear, just use the panel to repair them as before.

Although slow, at least it is stable and safe.

And with repeated experiments and operations, Chen Ming's technology is also improving rapidly.

When the transformation reached the final stage, Chen Ming's transformation proficiency was not at the same level as at the beginning.

The next renovation will definitely be more efficient.

Eight days after the spacecraft departed, Chen Ming's modification of the spacecraft's temperature system was completely completed.

The engines are individually isolated.

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

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

After that comes the next transformation.

Chen Ming had already thought about it before, which was to modify the two type I mechanical family electromagnetic javelins.

According to what is displayed on the panel, Chen Ming has four modifications to make.

[Ballistic Rangefinder] quickly measures the relative position to the target through laser, which 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 after leaving the factory. It can only lock on objects such as meteorites and asteroids.

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

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

Chen Ming originally planned to do the last transformation himself.

Just like the modified pistol before, the most basic magnetic live ammunition used in the electromagnetic javelin is modified.

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

Then during the next maintenance, the bullets Chen Ming replaced will become the original bullets again.

Only through modification of the panel can the bullet recover normally during repair.

So in the end, Chen Ming had to directly let the panel do the modification of this bullet.

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

Weapon modification is relatively simple.

Because Chen Ming had discovered before that the modifications on the replaced 22mm cannon had also been brought along with him.

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

Very convenient.

A few days later, the weapon modification was 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 big project.

Modify the outer armor of the ship.
