Chapter 156, Void Shark
Somewhere in the void in the Qingcaoyuan galaxy, the "Shark" spacecraft was quietly anchored in the void. Behind the spacecraft, a small spacecraft was followed. In the surrounding void, various monitors were ready.
"The test begins!"
Yang Wansong gently pressed the start button, and a dazzling blazing tail flame was quickly ejected from the fully automated "Shark", and the powerful plasma power was activated.
Driven by powerful momentum, the 'shark' began to move in the void and was getting faster and faster.
"The initial speed of Mach 10 is very undesirable. With the mass of the spacecraft and the plasma power installed on it, the initial speed should reach at least Mach 30 to be considered as the role of plasma power. It seems that for the power level alone, we still have a lot to learn."
Just seeing the initial speed, Yang Wansong, Li Changfeng, Ding Yu and others couldn't help frowning. Although the spacecraft was built, it could not fully exert the plasma power.
"Take it slow, don't rush, look at the others first."
Yang Wansong comforted everyone gently and looked into the void. The speed of the "Big Shark" spacecraft continued to increase in the void, but it was far less than that of the small spacecraft that everyone was riding on.
"The power of the shark has reached its maximum, and the acceleration is too slow. Let's test its flexibility."
Ding Yu looked at the data one by one, which was far from the data in his ideals. Although he was prepared and had the possibility of failure, he still felt a little frustrated.
There are many indicators to measure the performance of a spacecraft, but the most critical items are still speed, acceleration, deceleration, multi-directional steering speed, and energy consumption. As for the others, they are relatively less important indicators.
Speed is naturally easy to understand. The universe is extremely vast, so the speed of a spacecraft is very important. The speed here is generally the maximum limit speed and maximum effective speed that a spacecraft can reach. The faster a universe is, the better its performance is undoubtedly.
Acceleration is also easy to understand. The faster the acceleration, the less time it takes to reach the limit speed from stationary, which is definitely an important indicator to measure the performance of a spacecraft.
Deceleration is opposite to acceleration, speed, acceleration, and deceleration are actually related to the power system of the spacecraft. The stronger the power system, the better these three indicators will be. Therefore, from another aspect, the power system is the most important indicator of the spacecraft.
The flexibility mentioned in Ding Yu's mouth actually refers to the multi-directional speed of the spacecraft. There is no difference between up, down, left, and front and back in the universe. You can choose to fly at will in any direction. Therefore, a spacecraft with excellent performance must have the ability to fly in all directions in the void. The time and arc required to adjust the direction are the key to measuring this indicator.
Perhaps ordinary spacecraft have not high requirements in this regard, but for space warships, space fighters, etc., this indicator is a very critical indicator. The survival rate of space warships with high flexibility in the void will be greatly improved because it is difficult for the enemy to lock in.
The tail of the shark swung gently in the void, and its flying direction changed immediately. An arc was drawn in the void, and the direction was changed in a very small arc and in a very small time.
"Haha, it's okay to be flexible. Just relying on the swing of the tail, the flexibility is so high. If we can use the fins, I think it will be more flexible."
When Li Changfeng saw the data, he couldn't help laughing happily. Although it was just the first experimental product, the spacecraft's steering speed was still very high, and it completed the steering in a very short time.
“Test more.”
Li Changfeng controlled the spacecraft, and saw the "Big Shark" spacecraft constantly wiggling its tail in the void, and the tail was exactly the plasma-powered tail flame, which was also the power of the spacecraft. The "Big Shark" was really like a shark, constantly moving in the void, and its body was constantly twisting, and its direction was constantly changing, but the speed did not have much impact.
“It really works.”
"The combination of bionic biology and spacecraft can be greatly improved in terms of flexibility at least now. However, only changes on left and right are made on at least one surface, and the changes up and down, front and back in the void may be really not suitable for biological spacecraft."
An excited look flashed in Yang Wansong's eyes, as if he saw a new technology rising slowly, and he clenched his fists.
"Well, we can stop pursuing speed. We can first work on the flexibility of the spacecraft and add power systems to the fins. However, plasma power is indeed inappropriate. I think it is more appropriate to use the latest technology space power system, and learn from the design of space-time current sails."
Li Changfeng is an expert in power. He touched his chin and said thinking.
"I think it's OK."
Everyone else nodded in support.
...
Time is like flowing water, passing quietly in a quiet voice, and in a flash, 4 years pass quietly.
Somewhere in the void in the Qingcaoyuan galaxy, a huge giant fish was just anchored in the void. When you look carefully, it was a spacecraft. It was designed with a completely fish-mounted appearance. From a distance, I really thought it was a big fish coming into the void.
In the spacecraft, Ding Yu, Li Changfeng, Yang Wansong and others all seemed very excited. It took four years to go back and forth. They no longer knew how many spacecraft they designed and built, and how many suns and moons they spent in the spacecraft. The heavens paid off. Finally, when the classmates around them came up with their results to apply for graduation, the "big shark" they studied finally succeeded.
"The n-generation test of the big shark begins!"
Yang Wansong looked at the void outside and gently activated the spaceship. The others rushed to their seats and fastened their seat belts.
Looking out from the void outside, the eyes of the shark's head suddenly opened, and its tail began to swing gently. In the void where the tail was located, waves of ripples began to ripple, just like a really swimming in the water. With waves of space fluctuations, the shark' was like a fish swimming in the water, and its speed suddenly soared.
The 'Big Shark' spacecraft was moving forward rapidly in the void, and circles of space ripples continued to ripple as it progressed, just like a fish swimming in the water very close to the lake.
Soon, I seemed tired of flying in a straight line. The fins on the left side of the big shark swung gently. Here, the fins on the left side were rippling in circles of space, and the tail stopped swinging. The spacecraft turned to the right almost at a turn less than 90 degrees. The speed was fast, without any sense of slugging, and the space required was very small.
The 'Big Shark' spacecraft had just turned to the left, and soon the fish fins on the right swung, and rippled around the void. The spacecraft quickly completed the left turn, turning very flexibly in the water like an extremely flexible fish.
The 'Big Shark' spaceship is like a lying puppy, flying around in the void with circles of ripples, sometimes turning on the left and sometimes turning on the right, without a trace of rules. Looking from the void in the distance, no one will associate it with a spaceship, and they will only think that this is really a huge fish that can live in the void.
In the spaceship, Ding Yu, Li Changfeng, Yang Wansong and others were on their chairs, feeling the pressure brought by sometimes left, sometimes right, sometimes accelerating, and sometimes slowing down. This feeling must be very uncomfortable for those who do not practice Yuan power, but for the few of them there was no pressure at all. At this time, they all seemed very excited.
Because the more severe the changes in the spacecraft are, the better the performance of the spacecraft in all aspects, which means that everyone's efforts over the past four years are not in vain.
"The point is here."
With Yang Wansong's scream, everyone felt that they were being pressed onto the chair at once, as if they were sitting on a rocket in the amusement park and quickly took off. Then, before everyone could feel it well, they floated up and down, left, right, front and back, and pressure from all aspects was constantly pressing over.
Looking out from the void outside, the "Big Shark" spacecraft completely let go of itself, and accompanied by waves of ripples in the void, the spacecraft kept sitting and rushing right in the void, flying up and down, or turning over in the void like a diving duck.
Very flexible, as if you have life!
After a long time, the "Big Shark" spacecraft gradually calmed down in the void, and the ripples around the void began to calm down. The spacecraft was quietly suspended in the void. Everyone in the spacecraft was gasping for breath, and their bodies were still shaking, as if they were still remembering the horrific experience just now.
Although everyone had good Yuanli cultivation, they were still confused at this time. The flexibility of the spacecraft was too high. If everyone on the spacecraft had not been tied to a chair, they would have been hit by the heads and bleeding.
"This spacecraft is so flexible, it doesn't seem to be a good thing!"
