Chapter 558: Chapter 559 Nuclear Battleship
The confirmation of nuclear fusion theory has broadened the thinking of the scientific research team led by Dopps. Although it is only uncontrollable nuclear fusion, it can still be used. After many discussions, the reaction formula of nuclear fusion has been finalized by using hydrogen nuclei and boron 11 reactions, although the reaction is difficult and the energy generated is small. However, it does not produce gamma rays and neutrons, but only produces alpha particles, which is safe and clean, and is very suitable for the power source of warships.
"In this way, the problem of the propeller is solved. Considering the protective armor, ammunition load, personnel quality, etc. of the space warship, the maximum speed can be maintained at least one-tenth of the speed of light. Next, our work project can be handed over to the actual test team, and they will make this nuclear pulse engine practical as soon as possible. "
Most academic members fell asleep without saying hello after the results were finalized. They were really tired.
A sleepy academic member walked to Dopps and asked.
"...Does Amoeba also use this propulsion technology?"
"We just need to do our best and do our best."
Dorpes can't answer this question and can only wait for time to verify. He can only hope that Amoeba uses such propulsion technology, so that they can get closer.
Time passed minute by, and two years passed in a blink of an eye. The Carter people on the side of the space construction project were also anxious. They designed the keel according to Melun's instructions, because of the news that in order to cater to the nuclear pulse engine to be developed, they carried out tens of thousands of design blueprints. Because no one knows how big the thrust of the nuclear pulse is, so many blueprints have been designed.
However, even if it is well designed, the nuclear pulse engine has not come out.
Until a radio operator receives radio information from Soli.
"Received the telegram from Sori! It is the construction blueprint of the nuclear pulse engine! In addition, there are two new weapons, laser and electromagnetic gun!"

Engineering designers everywhere in the asteroid belt have picked up their own pen and paper. The current electronic technology of Carter civilization has just begun. Not to mention touch screen numerical control, the computer memory of the spacecraft is not necessarily larger than that of human smartphones on earth.
Relying on radio communication and telex, they built a simple radio network between them.
It was in such a simple design environment that engineering designers began to design the first space warship in history for their civilization.
"Add it." Mellen-Dao.
"Uh...why?"
Mellen said, "You didn't consider the physical and psychological health of the warship crew and let them stay in the warship for a long time, which is a kind of torture for them."
"A special room was opened on the warship to plant some plants, which can not only circulate air, but also relieve the crew psychologically to a certain extent."
The subordinate thought about it and agreed with Mellon's words.
"I see."
"By the way, where is the signal plan implemented?" Melan continued to ask.
"Half of them have been broadcast, and these low-frequency radio satellites have steadily revolved around the stars. They will become our eyes on the cosmic battlefield and accurately lock the position of the enemy." The subordinates reported truthfully.
"Can you guarantee that they will have the expected effect?"
"It has been tested. At present, the latest test results can accurately locate a light brake scale and a three-car diameter meteorite."
Mellon thought for a moment and asked.
"Can it be improved again?"
"Yes, but there is an upper limit on the speed of light. As the distance increases, the information transmitted by the satellite may have a significant delay."
This problem can be accepted by Mellon. It is better to have information than no information.
"It doesn't matter if it's delayed. I'm afraid I don't know the enemy's movements at all. No information is the most taboo thing in the war."
"The order goes on that all the engineering ships in the space army will make full use of space warships. We are still far from the planned number of 200,000 warships to serve, and we need to speed up."
"Yes!"
