How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 43: ready

   "Big head, but also design..."

   Huogu complained rather depressedly to himself, but he did not want to stop designing. It did so only to express the tension in his heart so that he could restore his calm.

   Huogu doesn’t want to be nervous, but he can’t be nervous. In his previous life, he was just a scholar specializing in archaeological excavations. Not to mention designing rockets, he hasn’t even touched the real thing!

   "I regret it......"

   "Why didn't I write down the drawings of the International Astronautical Center, it was obviously on the table when I was chatting with Lao Li..."

   Huogu looked at the cell clusters placed under the water and shrunk into a mass of flesh. There was only a blank in the sea of ​​thought, and there was a deep regret.

   You must know that this cell cluster is an important tool for attacking the enemy. It must be foolproof and successful in one go.

   If they fail, the enemy will inevitably increase their vigilance, and at the same time they will show even more frenzied counterattacks.

   Huo Gu is not afraid of counterattacks. The big deal is to be beaten back to the microbial state. Anyway, it's a big planet, and the enemy can never hold a microscope and look for it everywhere in the ocean, right?

   It’s just that once it fails, it will be difficult to succeed the next time. The attack is largely based on the relationship between the enemy and the enemy, and the suddenness of the first attack.

   "It's really troublesome, it's better to give it a shot..."

   "……"

   Huo Gu suddenly shook his head, and he began to carefully ponder the feasibility of his unintentional words just now.

   "... shoot out... shoot..."

   "Yes, I'm such a genius!"

   Compared with more complicated rockets, the structure of the shells can be said to be simple to the extreme, and there is no need for more advanced and complex shells, as long as they can detonate the internal charges and launch them by explosion.

   "Anyway, there are neither people nor precision instruments inside. Why should I refer to the structure of the rocket for design? It can be bombed directly into the outer space of the planet in the form of an explosion like a cannonball..."

   "The best way to fire the barrel is to tilt 45 degrees, so that it can better enter the planet's low earth orbit..."

   "Well, that's it. The cell clusters can be designed exactly in the style of a cannonball. The hard shell of the cannonball can be made of titanium alloy. The same is true for the barrel..."

   "...Is it better to add something like rifling?"

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

"The rifling is to allow the launching object to remain rotating during the launch process, which can stabilize the trajectory... So it seems that this is necessary, although it will reduce the initial speed, but it is cost-effective. In other words, it's a good deal."

   The method of launching the cell clusters into outer space was determined, but Huogu did not feel relieved because of this. There are other problems that need to be solved later.

   "Radiation in the universe, alpha, beta, gamma rays...I don’t know much about radiation protection materials, only lead, but this way it weighs..."

   After pondering for a while, Huo Gu had no choice but to accept it.

   "...Forget it, let's use lead. Create an interlayer between the titanium alloy eggshells to seal the lead in."

   An increase in meaningless weight means a decrease in meaningful weight. Another way to understand it is to reduce the amount of other things that can be carried.

But there is no way. Cells can’t adapt to the environment where radiation is everywhere. This is directly related to the scarcity of radiation they receive. In fact, the clouds are thick and dense. Although the radiation from the sun cannot be said to be absent, it is true compared with the earth. Because of this little contact, the cells are not very adaptable in this regard, and they are very prone to disease.

   After solving the problem of radiation protection, it 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 gas is quite small, so small that it can be regarded as no, about every cubic meter, there will be one atom.

The strength of titanium alloy is absolutely sufficient. Although it has not been actually tested in space, Huogu has tested it using seabed water pressure and doubled the strength requirements of the test data. Huogu, who adheres to the principle of caution first, has not Titanium alloy is used alone, and carbon nanofiber mesh is added to the interlayer to improve the overall deformability.

   However, even if it is strengthened like this, there is still a place on the cell cluster that Huogu can't let go of—the eyes.

The outside of the eyes is covered with thick tempered glass. There are some interlayers in 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 visible light, so as to avoid excessive ultraviolet radiation. eye.

Next is the ability to move in outer space. In a gravity-free environment, it is a very troublesome thing to change your position and reach the position you expected. For this, Huogu has no good way, only in Six propulsion ports are designed on the cell cluster, each facing different directions, and the fine angle adjustment is left to the air push.

For propelling fuel, Huogu decided to use liquid hydrogen, and then liquid oxygen as the oxidizer. It is not very difficult to make them. First, make oxygen and hydrogen, then use artificial water pressure to forcibly compress it into a liquid state, and then load it into pre-made titanium. Inside the gas cylinder of alloy construction.

  There is also a temperature problem. The space is absolutely zero, and that place is very cold. Although vacuum can block the heat dissipation medium~lightnovelpub.net~, the temperature will continue to be released in the form of heat radiation.

   "In other words, a temperature barrier should be added to the'cannonball'..."

   So the question is over?

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

   A pair of fangs with a titanium alloy skeleton are installed in the cell cluster by Huogu. The fangs are not simple claws, but single-molecule blades with sci-fi colors, restrained by the electromagnetic force generated by bioelectricity.

   For Huogu, who can work on a molecular scale, there is no difficulty in making this weapon, which is equivalent to an ordinary person building a house with red bricks.

   The advantages of single-molecule blades are obvious, and the disadvantages are also extremely obvious, that is, it needs to consume a lot of energy.

However, even if all the biological currents of the cell cluster are exhausted, the single-molecule blade state can only be maintained for four seconds, and it cannot be used in the atmospheric environment, because the charged particles will be adsorbed on the single-molecule blade surface due to the magnetic field of the electric field. , Make it gradually dull.

   If the enemy is a large mechanical body, the limbs can break through the opponent's armor, allowing cell clusters to sneak into the interior and destroy it.

  The other weapon is a live ammunition, with sodium metal as the filling agent, a special sandwich structure to ensure that sodium and water can fully react, and metal chromium as a warhead, which can easily penetrate ten centimeters of steel plates. This is the result of the test.

   The worst case is that neither of the two weapons can destroy each other. Then, the cell cluster that enters outer space will act as a booster engine to push the satellites in outer space to the surface. This is plan B.

   Although the cell cluster is a biological tool, it is not in line with Huogu's values ​​to throw it away when it is available. Therefore, Plan B will only be activated when Plan A fails to take effect.
