Vol 2 Chapter 468: About the power system of the detector

As for that kind of spacecraft, Lei Tiantang hasn't even had a concept until now! To develop such a spacecraft, there are too many pre-researches to be completed!
Therefore, Lei Tiantang urgently needs to know how far the nebula is in the solar system, so that he can adjust his research plan.
"Of course there is no problem with processing data! But boss, after all these detectors are scattered, I need to process a lot of data every day, and these data are still different from the data I collected on the Internet.
All of these data require me to pass a lot of calculations to get specific conclusions, and since many of them are image data, the computing resources required for comparison calculations are even greater!
Especially these data are still processed by me every day, so they will take up my current computing resources, although my current computing resources are still very abundant.
However, the demand for computing resources in our future research projects will only increase, so in order to prepare for a rainy day, I need to add another supercomputer unit in the base to make my computing power more powerful!
In this way, when I process those data, the speed will be faster, without delaying our subsequent research work! "
Kuafu didn't have any dissatisfaction with the work arranged by Lei Tiantang, but he would mention it when he could raise the conditions. Anyway, for him, no amount of computing resources could keep up with his evolutionary speed.
Of course, the more computing resources, the stronger his ability will be. The pursuit of higher performance is the most basic pursuit of advanced artificial intelligence like Kuafu!
"Okay! I will definitely add more supercomputer units to you at that time, but we have to wait for the chip lab to design and manufacture our company's own server chips.
After all, the design requirement of the server chip developed by our company from the beginning is to be able to perform better intelligent calculations!
After the R&D and manufacturing of the chip over there is completed, I will update all the supercomputer units for you, so that even if there are no new units, your computing power can be greatly improved! "Lei Tiantang readily agreed to Kuafu's request.
"Thank you boss! I think so too. If the core chips of my body in the three base laboratories are replaced with smart chips designed by the company, my performance will increase by 89.4% with the number of units unchanged. !
If the boss adds another server unit to me at the base, then my overall performance will reach 270% of the current level, so that I can analyze the space telescopes and satellites and other detectors more quickly, and bring them from the universe. The detection data is back! "Quafu said happily.
"Well, let's now discuss the specific detector transformation plan!" Lei Tiantang said with a smile.
"Good boss! Let's discuss the power system of these probes in the universe first!
These detectors are ejected at high speed through the gravity of the small black hole controlled by your boss.
Then they must have a substantial deceleration process before they approach the predetermined position they are going to reach, and this process requires very high power systems on these detectors!
According to our estimates, the speed at which they eject can even exceed 100,000 kilometers per hour! At such a high speed, it is not easy to reduce them to a suitable orbital speed, even in a relatively static state!
Therefore, we should equip these detectors with two sets of power systems. Traditional rockets achieve forward propulsion by ejecting high-speed gas from the tail. Therefore, we need to equip these detectors with a set of traditional rocket engines. Power system for recoil.
Mainly this kind of power system, its energy is very huge, it can bring very large recoil to these detectors in a short time in space, which can make them quickly reduce the speed!
After the speed is reduced to a speed that can be put into orbit, just like launching a rocket, this power system can be discarded.
At this time, another set of power system is needed for more precise adjustment, so the second set of power system on the detector, I think we can use mature ion thrusters!
The characteristic of the ion electric propulsion engine is that the acceleration is very low, which may be only a few centimeters per second or even lower. Some people describe this thrust as only "blow a piece of paper."
But unlike the extremely short combustion time of chemical rockets, the acceleration time provided by electric propulsion rockets can be very long, so the engine has a large specific impulse, which means that the working fluid of the same quality can provide greater total thrust and final speed.
On the other hand, small thrust is often sufficient for the attitude adjustment and orbit change of detectors such as satellites and space telescopes. It uses electric energy to act on the working medium to excite a high-speed ion current to propel backwards, and what it emits is a beam of electrification. Particles or ions.
The propulsion it provides may be relatively weak, but the key is that this ion thruster requires much less fuel than ordinary rockets.
So we can make all the detectors carry more fuel so that these detectors can work longer in space!
Especially the use of ion engine as the second power system ~EbookFREE.me~ can more accurately control the direction and position of various detectors.
This is very important for our probes to enter the universe for the first time. It is necessary to know that we now have little understanding of the specific situation of the'New Home'.
Therefore, these detectors will need to constantly adjust their direction and orbit according to their own continuous detection data at that time. If there is no set of power system that can work for a long time, then these detectors will not work much. Long-term! "Kuafu has started formal work.
"You are right! Both sets of power systems are very suitable for our needs, but I think, before the detector itself enters the predetermined orbit, even if those unnecessary external accessories are discarded, their main body And the quality of the outer protective layer is still great.
It may not be enough to rely on a set of ion engine system to adjust their speed and direction into orbit. After all, even if the ion engine system is optimized by the two of us, its thrust is very touching.
Therefore, these detectors still need another set of small chemical fuel engines. With their existence, the position adjustment of these detectors can become more convenient! "Lei Tiantang added with a smile.
