Chapter 520 A pretty small spaceship

There is no doubt that Dong Chen's residence and laboratory are the most advanced rooms in this space station.

After he decided to come to the space station permanently, he quickly had enough equipment manufactured in the underground base, and then transported it to the Xintian Palace Space Station by air and space transport aircraft for assembly.

Moreover, no workers were used during the installation process. Engineering robots were used for all installation and decoration. The place where Dong Chen would live and the place where he would conduct experiments were decorated in the shortest possible time.

Dong Chen will have two residences in the entire space station. One is in the main axis building area, which is located in the Arc Light Group's private area. There is no gravity here, but it occupies a large space.

The other place is in the simulated gravity area under construction. There is a simulated gravity that is almost the same as the earth's gravity, but it is smaller than the place here in the main axis area. After all, the simulated gravity area is not very big.

Both of his residences are in very good locations, just like the place here in the Main Axis District. Not only does it occupy a large volume, but the interior decoration is also very good, and there is a large picture window.

Although this viewing window is not as exaggerated as the observation deck, it is definitely the largest in the private cabin. The window faces the earth and looks very relaxing.

The ever-changing clouds are never the same for a moment. There are more than a dozen magnificent space sunrises every day, and the mysterious atmosphere illuminated before the sun rises. And when passing by the earth at night, the brilliance of civilization with thousands of lights looks very pleasing to the eye.

As for Dong Chen's personal safety, there is no need to worry. If he is still likely to be attacked on earth, then no one can really hurt him on the space station.

There are so many attack methods on Earth that even with every precaution, there may still be some oversights.

Moreover, Dong Chen must have many people on earth who want to attack him. Some have already implemented it, while others are still planning, but there are no successful examples yet.

It would be safe in space. There are only a few means of attacking space on earth, and now that there is a space garbage patch to block it, those already scarce attack means are no longer a threat to Dong Chen.

Even if their missiles really hit, there would be no problem with Dong Chen's safety. Those engineering robots busy outside were not decorations, and their multifunctional laser welders were not only used for welding. Steel plate.

Following the staff to his own site, Dong Chen looked at the fully decorated residence and said to the staff who brought him here, "Okay, I have nothing here, you can go and do your work."

"Okay, Chairman, please rest. If you need anything, please tell me and we will be here soon."

After the staff who brought him there left, the door of the residence closed automatically, and Dong Chen walked to the window and looked at the earth and asked, "No. 1, are you here?"

As soon as Dong Chen finished asking, the voice of No. 1 rang in the room, "I'll be here at any time, sir."

"Very good, how is the latest exploration going now? Have you found the source?" Dong Chen asked.

"The energy concentration continues to increase, and it has been in a state of slightly accelerating the increase. We are still looking for the specific source, but we have detected energy-rich areas." No. 1 said to Dong Chen.

Dong Chen became interested as soon as he heard this. He had not found this change before he took off from the earth. It has only been half a day now, and there has already been such a change.

He took a few steps back, sat on the sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and said, "Give me the specific data images and I'll take a look."

"Okay sir, sent to your glasses display."

Following the reply from No. 1, Dong Chen saw the specific information and data graphs sent by it. Among them was a chromatogram of energy concentration around the earth, which could very intuitively show the energy enrichment situation around the earth.

This map and the specific data all point in a general direction, and the further away from the earth in this direction, the denser the energy concentration. However, the detection distance of satellite detection equipment is now limited. After detecting the distance between the earth and Mars After half the distance there is no data.

After reading it, Dong Chen said, "What follow-up plans are there? Are they being implemented?"

"Yes, sir, due to insufficient materials and manufacturing equipment in the space station, and the micro-orbiting engine on the satellite is not sufficient for long-distance navigation, the underground base is already manufacturing propulsion devices."

While explaining the plan to Dong Chen, No. 1 sent the information to Dong Chen and said, "There are four sets of propulsion devices in total. After they are manufactured, I will launch them up to combine with the four detection satellites, and then they will become wireless. Human exploration spacecraft to carry out approaching reconnaissance mission."

Dong Chen looked at the design drawing given by No. 1 and was shocked.

Although No. 1 does not have a more artistic design and cannot make the design full of spirituality, it is still very easy to design based on practicality.

Although it doesn't look very good, the practicality is really good. After Dong Chen prioritized this task, the design materials of No. 1 were also unambiguous.

The energy core of the propulsion device uses a micro-nuclear fusion core manufactured in an underground base. It uses a new technology upgraded by Dong Chen and No. 1. It is a new model that is more suitable for real-world usage habits.

The raw materials used were some nuclear raw materials that Dong Chen got from the radiation world. Since Dong Chen had no source of nuclear materials in the real world, the lunar base was still under construction, and the mining of helium-3 had not yet been completed, so he only We can use the inventory Dong Chen brought back first.

The engine of the propulsion device is also the small ion engine they recently upgraded and researched. The speed is also quite acceptable. Although the speed is not as fast as the "Black Hawk" after multiple upgrades, it is faster than several series of current aerospace planes. Much faster.

With these two main parts, the other linkage parts can be put together using some ready-made modules from the material library. This will result in a space propulsion device with "fairly satisfactory" performance.

Well, the performance is indeed quite satisfactory. With these technologies, if Dong Chen is to be involved in the redesign, giving him some time will definitely produce better results.

But time is urgent now, so just waste some performance by wasting some performance.

After all...the "fair" mentioned here is only relative to these technologies, and for the earth, it is also a crushing level.

In the following time, Dong Chen discovered that his original calculation was not quite right. It was not possible to grow by 0.2% or more in one day in space.

The reason why the price increased by 0.2% when he entered space was also because it had accumulated before, and after the absorption was completed, it would accumulate again, and it would not be absorbed until it reached that concentration.

In this case, his previous calculation time was wrong. According to the current energy growth rate, if he purely stayed in the space station to absorb energy, it would probably take several months before it would reach 100%.

But apart from this, there is also good news. The growth rate of energy is irregular, sometimes faster and sometimes slower, but overall it is getting faster and faster.

And we also have some clues about the energy source.
