Chapter 43 Preparation

"My head is big, and I have to design again..."

Huo Gu complained to himself quite depressedly, but he did not stop designing. He did this just to express the tension in his heart so that he could regain his composure.

Huogu didn't want to be nervous, but he couldn't help it. In his previous life, he was just a scholar specializing in archaeological excavations. He had never even touched a real object, let alone designing rockets!

"I'm so sorry..."

"Why didn't I write down the drawings of the International Space Center? They were clearly on the table when I was chatting with Lao Li..."

Huo Gu looked at the cluster of cells placed at the bottom of the water, shriveled into a ball of flesh. In his mind, there was only a blank space and a deep sense of regret.

You must know that this cell cluster is an important tool to attack the enemy. It must be foolproof and succeed in one go.

If it fails, the enemy will definitely be more vigilant and will also show an even more crazy counterattack.

Huo Gu is not afraid of any counterattack. The worst he can do is to be knocked back to the microbial state. Anyway, on such a huge planet, the enemy can't be looking for it everywhere in the ocean with a microscope, right?

However, once it fails, it will be difficult to succeed next time. The attack largely takes advantage of the relationship between the enemy and ourselves in the dark, as well as the suddenness of the first attack.

"It's really troublesome, why not just shoot it out with a cannon..."

"..."

Huo Gu suddenly came to his senses and began to carefully consider the feasibility of his unintentional words just now.

"...Cum out...Cum..."

"Yeah, I'm really a genius!"

Compared with the more complex rockets, the structure of the artillery shell can be said to be extremely simple. It does not require a high-level and complex structure of the artillery shell. As long as it can detonate the internal charge and rely on the explosion to launch it.

"Anyway, there are no people or precision instruments inside, so why should I design it based on the structure of a rocket? It can be blown directly into the outer space of the planet in the form of an explosion like a cannonball..."

"It is best to tilt the gun barrel at 45 degrees so that it can better enter the planet's low-Earth orbit..."

"Yeah, that's it. The cell cluster can be designed exactly like a cannonball. The hard shell of the cannonball can be made of titanium alloy, and the same goes for the cannon barrel..."

"...Would it be better to add something like rifling?"

Huogu tried hard to recall his knowledge of gun barrel rifling...

"Rifling is to allow the launched object to maintain a rotating state during the launch process, which can stabilize the ballistic trajectory... It seems that this is needed. Although it will reduce the initial velocity, it is cost-effective.

I mean, it’s quite a deal.”

The method of launching cell clusters into outer space has been decided, but Hogu does not feel relaxed because there are other problems that need to be solved later.

"The radiation in the universe, alpha, beta, gamma rays... I don't know many radiation-proof materials, only lead, but the weight is..."

After pondering for a while, Huogu had no choice but to accept it as there was no good substitute material.

"...Forget it, just use lead. Create a sandwich between the titanium alloy eggshells to seal the lead in."

The increase in meaningless weight means the reduction in meaningful weight. Another way to understand it is that the amount of other items that can be carried will be reduced.

But there is no way. Cells cannot adapt to an environment full of radiation. This is directly related to the sparse amount of radiation they receive. In fact, the clouds in the Hades are thick and dense. Although it cannot be said that there is no radiation from the sun, compared with the earth, it is really

There are pitifully few. Because of this little contact, the cells are not very adaptable in this regard and are prone to disease.

After solving the problem of radiation protection, there is the problem of the vacuum environment of the universe.

Although it cannot be said that there is no gas at all, the density of these gases is quite small, so small that it can almost be regarded as non-existent. There is only one atom per cubic meter.

The strength of titanium alloy is absolutely sufficient. Although it has not been actually tested in space, Hogu has conducted tests using seafloor water pressure and doubled the strength requirements of the test data. Hogu, who follows the principle of caution and priority, did not

Only titanium alloy is used, and carbon nanofiber mesh is added to the interlayer to improve the overall deformation ability.

However, even with such strengthening, there is still an area on the cell cluster that Hogu cannot let go of - the eyes.

The outside of the eye is covered with thick tempered glass. There are some interlayers inside the glass, which are filled with nitric acid solution. The nitrogen dioxide in the nitric acid solution can effectively absorb all ultraviolet rays and part of the visible light, thereby preventing damage from excessive ultraviolet radiation.

Eye.

Next is the ability to move in outer space. In a gravity-free environment, it is quite troublesome to change one's position and reach the desired position. For this, Huogu has no good solution. He can only

Six push ports are designed on the cell cluster, each facing different directions, and fine angle adjustment is left to the air push.

As for the propulsion fuel, Hogu decided to use liquid hydrogen, and then the oxidant was liquid oxygen. It was not very difficult to make them. First, make oxygen and hydrogen, then use artificial water pressure to forcibly compress them into a liquid state, and then put them into the pre-made titanium

In a gas storage bottle constructed of alloy.

There is also the issue of temperature. Space is close to absolute zero, and it is very cold there. Although the vacuum can block the heat dissipation medium, the temperature will continue to be released in the form of thermal radiation.

"In other words, a thermal insulation layer must be added to the 'cannonball'..."

So the question is over?

No, there is still a crucial issue, and that is weapons that can be used in space.

A pair of titanium alloy-based horns were installed into the cell cluster by Hogu. The horns were not simple claws, but sci-fi-like single-molecule blades, restrained by the electromagnetic force generated by bioelectricity.

For Hogu, who can operate at the molecular scale, making such a weapon is not difficult, just like an ordinary person building a house with red bricks.

The advantages of the single molecule blade are obvious, but the disadvantage is also extremely obvious, that is, it requires a large amount of energy.

However, even if all the biological current of the cell cluster is exhausted, it can only maintain this single-molecule blade state for four seconds, and it cannot be used in an atmospheric environment because charged particles will be adsorbed on the single-molecule blade surface due to the magnetic properties of the electric field.

, making it gradually dull.

If the enemy is a large mechanical body, the horns can break through the opponent's armor, allowing the cell cluster to sneak inside and destroy it.

The other weapon is a live ammunition weapon, with sodium metal as the filler. The special sandwich structure ensures that sodium and water can fully react, and the metal chromium is used as the warhead, which can easily penetrate a ten centimeter thick steel plate. This is the result of the test.

The worst case scenario is that neither weapon can destroy the other. Then, the cell cluster entering outer space will act as a booster engine to push the outer space satellite to the surface. This is Plan B.
