Chapter 5 Energy Loss and Recovery
...
As time passes by bit by bit, the function of light engineering machines is as firewood said, greatly accelerating the energy acquisition efficiency of Prometheus.
Although their functions are not as powerful as facility construction machines, their manufacturing costs are cheaper and the quantity is very large.
The most important thing is that they don’t need to consume precious energy!
According to the introduction of Fire, when they decompose and drain the Red-1 planet in front of them, these light engineering machines will not be taken away, but will be abandoned here.
This also fits their cheap features.
Although light engineering machines are cheap, their working efficiency is not slow. They have arranged a large number of composite solar arrays in the orbit of the star ring.
Tinder energy uses more energy, and most of the energy is used to activate facility construction machines.
These powerful spider-shaped machinery bloomed everywhere on the surface of Chi-1, and laser columns that reached the sky rose from all over the planet, reflecting the entire planet with colorful colors.
Fang Kai looked at the Red-1 planet in front of him, which looked like a sea urchin, and estimated the speed of the construction of the star ring.
After investing a large number of facilities construction machines, the fire was recalculated and found that the total time required for the construction of all relay points for the Star Ring will be completed in 1100 hours!
It's about forty-five days.
Every day, he is watching the construction progress of the entire Star Ring and the restoration progress of Prometheus himself.
The repair of the hull was basically over on the 33rd day with the support of a large amount of energy, except for some internal lines to be repaired.
Of course, those system function modules that were forced to be shut down are still in the closed state. To restart them, more energy is needed!
But what shocked Fang Kai the most was that although it was not completed, the star ring relay point had already shown its huge size, forcing Fang Kai to marvel at the huge and shocking celestial creation.
In front of the ring, even the Red-1 planet is like a ball in the ring, which can enter and exit at will without hitting it.
On the forty-five day.
The star ring relay point was completely completed. Looking at the huge dark gray metal ring outside the Red-1 planet, it was so tight that it was completely unsightly that it was composed of segments!
On the unknown dark gray metal surface, clearly visible energy flow lines crisscross vertically and outline complex graphics.
"Commander, the relay point has been built and the first phase of the Star Ring ends, which takes 1,098 hours in total. The metal magnetic film on the outer layer of the Star Ring relay point can absorb solar energy more efficiently, which improves our energy acquisition efficiency by five times."
This is good news.
Fang Kai finally smiled on his face. He knew that he might die in three years and lived with such pressure on his back, which was the first time he had experienced what a nerve tightness was.
The lack of sleep has made others lose weight.
"According to the plan, we need to build a star ring reactor and a star ring frame. The star ring reactor is the core energy for starting the star ring. The star ring frame will stabilize the gravity between the star ring and the Chi-1 planet and stabilize the mass-energy conversion efficiency."
Fang Kai stared at the huge star ring in front of him without turning his eyes. The huge creature in front of him gave him some peace of mind.
“Continue to build!”
He is now looking forward to what it will look like when the Star Ring is truly completed!
"Received, Commander." Fire continued to accept the order meticulously as ever.
However, the sound of the fire sounded again: "Commander, the main energy has recovered to 1.5%. Not long ago, I had re-send the pulse signal and recalculated the arrival time of the dark matter energy swallowing."
Fang Kai's expression, which had just looked a little better, changed suddenly, as if he had just taken off his pants and squatted in the pit, and was scared back halfway.
He asked quickly, "How many more will be left after recalculation?"
"Dark matter energy devours 2.4 light years away from us. Considering that the expansion speed of dark matter energy far exceeds the speed of light, according to the formula for the mass energy effect of particles with super-light speed, I calculated that dark matter energy devours will arrive here in 507 days and devour everything around me."
Fang Kai's expression was not very good. He had just witnessed a great miracle of universe architecture. His blood in his heart had not cooled down yet, but he suddenly heard such bad news, which made him hesitate to pour a pot of air-conditioned ice water into the hot oil pan!
It was so thrilling, my heart was half cold!
"When will we be able to restart warp speed navigation?" Fang Kai asked nervously. He has not just stared outside for more than a month, and he has also made up for a lot of basic knowledge.
Fortunately, the previous commander just deleted the navigation log and did not delete the knowledge of civilization, otherwise he would have suspected that the other party had the intention of self-destruction.
But he was quite able to understand the other party. He practiced dark matter energy devouring by himself, and was so nervous that he couldn't sleep well without knowing anything.
It was already good that the previous commander could hold on for so long with knowledge. He felt that it was not impossible for the other party to do some crazy things.
After all, I chase and escape under the edge of dark matter energy every day, and nine out of ten people will go crazy!
When he thought that his future would continue to be repeated under such a terrible pursuit, he couldn't help but tremble.
"Commander, as long as we restore the main energy to 10%, we can perfectly start warp navigation and get rid of the trouble of dark matter energy devouring for a considerable period of time."
Tinder finally gave good news.
"After calculations, after we completely harvest and swallow the Red-1 planet, we are expected to recover 8% of the main energy."
Fang Kai simply did an addition and subtraction method in his mind. Now the main energy has recovered by 1.5%, and if 8%, it is 9.5%, which means that he is still 0.5% short of energy to start warp speed and escape far away.
This 0.5% energy is easy to recover!
"We look very time!" Fang Kai couldn't help but say surprise. Isn't the 0.5% energy recovery still possible?
"Sorry Commander, we are also consuming energy while recovering. Before that, we need to restart the cold fusion reactor to replace the energy supply to Prometheus' daily energy."
Fang Kai's joy suddenly froze. He suddenly thought that Prometheus seemed to have been relying on important resources such as energy to maintain operation!
“What happens if the cold fusion reactor is not started?”
“Waring speed navigation consumes 10% of the energy, and after the voyage you will be in a dilemma of energy deficiency, just like now.”
After learning about this result, Fang Kai was upset again.
"How to restart the cold fusion reactor?"
"The emergency energy chamber needs to be repaired, and for this we will consume 0.8% of the energy. This will affect the speed of the construction of the star ring, so we need to plan the energy allocation, and we will take 13 working days to extend the time to restart the cold fusion reactor."
Fang Kai twitched the corner of his mouth, and he complained: "Why didn't I remind me like this when I restarted the automatic production system before?"
Tinder warmly reminded: "Automatic production system is a separate supply system. Its operation does not rely on energy. We only need to repair external damaged lines and can reactivate it with 0.0001% of the energy."
"Damn!" Fang Kai cursed and said helplessly: "Then follow the plan!"
