I have a little black hole

Lei Tiantang is very concerned about the energy that supports the long-term work of detectors such as satellites and space telescopes. Because satellites and other various detectors traveling in space have particularly strict requirements on power supplies, they must be light in weight and small in size. Can withstand strong vibration, and also requires its long service life!

Therefore, several Jupiter probes successively launched abroad in the early 1970s are equipped with high-performance nuclear batteries made of plutonium oxide and molybdenum.

So this kind of mature nuclear battery technology has been eyeed by him. We must know that the satellites and space telescopes developed by the company are still composed of solar panels and the company's high-performance battery packs.

They change orbits in space, etc., all use their own space engines to achieve the purpose of orbit change or acceleration by ejecting a certain amount of gas.

There is no problem with these features in the fixed orbit of the Earth where the solar system is not too far from the sun, because these detectors have their own orbits.

It can obtain a stable energy supply through solar panels for a long time, and the fuel it uses to change orbit and accelerate is rarely used, so as long as a small amount of fuel is carried, these detectors can be used for several years.

But Lei Tiantang's probes such as satellites and space telescopes that he intends to throw into the nebula will not work. They just need at least six months to reach the periphery of the "new home"!

Because the body of the small black hole is a little closer to the "New Home" star system, it can only choose to stop, because even Lei Tiantang can control the gravity of the small black hole body so that its gravity will not interfere with the star system. Normal operation.

But the black hole body itself has no way to control the change of the latitude of the surrounding space. It is estimated that after the real combination of the Lei Tiantang body and the small black hole body, he can fully control the small black hole body.

The change in the latitude of the surrounding space can also affect the galaxy, so before the small black hole is still some distance away from the galaxy, for the safety of the galaxy, it can only stop outside the safe distance.

This safety distance is fixed at 1 billion kilometers from Lei Tiantang. Through calculations by him and Kuafu, beyond this distance, with the mass of the small black hole itself, the spatial latitude it disturbed will not affect the "New Home" star system.

Detectors such as satellites and space telescopes can only use a strong position of small black holes to eject towards the "new home" star system beyond the safe distance of 1 billion kilometers!

Even if their initial speed is even faster, it takes a very long time to fly such a long journey of 1 billion kilometers, and it is the least estimate for half a year.

For such a long period of time, these satellites and other detectors must also be in working condition. After all, all the data there is estimated, and the specific data needs to be known after being detected.

At the same time, these detectors have to constantly adjust their orbits during the flight, and select their respective detection positions based on the detected star data, and these detectors also need a large deceleration process before approaching the detection position!

Through the self-contained fuel, the reverse injection method is used to reduce the speed of the detector to facilitate the detector to enter the set detection track!

Therefore, the energy they carry is very important, and the requirements have become higher, because all these detectors can only constantly adjust their position and speed based on the data they detect, and there is no continuous and stable energy. Absolutely not.

"Boss, you can rest assured! The technology of nuclear batteries is not a top technology. I have searched a lot of design solutions on the Internet, and I have verified these solutions one by one.

Finally, I chose to use plutonium 238 as the fuel of our nuclear battery. Through the decay of plutonium 238 itself, it emits alpha particles and generates heat, which is used to generate electricity.

Plutonium is element No. 94, which is the heaviest element in nature and heavier than uranium.Its stable isotope is plutonium 244, with a half-life of about 80 million years.

Plutonium 238 has a half-life of 87.74 years. Alpha particles are released during decay and a lot of heat is released. This makes plutonium 238 spontaneously ignite under certain conditions even if its amount is small. This makes it look like Like a glowing ember.

The thermal power of 1 kg of plutonium 238 is equivalent to an electric furnace of 570 watts, and it lasts for decades and is uninterrupted.

The nuclear battery made with plutonium-238 can stably provide about 125 watts of power output under any conditions at the beginning of the mission, and the power can be maintained at about 100 watts after 14 years.

As long as we install more than two nuclear batteries made of plutonium-238 in all of our detectors, then our detectors will have a long-lasting energy supply!

The thermal conversion rate of nuclear batteries is not very high, however, nuclear batteries can not only be used to generate electricity, especially in the icy universe, its temperature can even reach minus two hundred degrees Celsius!

The nuclear battery can also provide thermal energy for these detectors. Using this thermal energy, certain sensitive components on the spacecraft can withstand the test of low temperature!

So the boss, you choose to use nuclear batteries in our retrofit design is an absolutely correct choice!Kuafu said with a smile.

"That's for sure! If I didn't use such a good thing, wouldn't it be a fool! But have you already built a test nuclear battery? Show me it! Also show me its data Look!" Lei Tiantang said happily.

"Good boss, you see, this is the nuclear battery that I optimized using the data obtained from the Internet. Its fuel is plutonium 238, which is made of ceramic compacts of plutonium dioxide.

A single nuclear battery can initially provide 880 watts of power. After detailed testing, even after more than ten years, such a nuclear battery can still provide 670 watts of power!

With such a power nuclear battery, install 3-4 of them on our various detectors, then our detectors can be operated as you want!

And its other data, I will also introduce to you..."

Kuafu played the nuclear battery test video on Lei Tiantang's computer, and proudly introduced him various performance data.

Although he found the design of the nuclear battery from the Internet, he also contributed to the optimization of those designs, so when he introduced it to his boss, his mood became very good.

"Okay! Kuafu, your job is really good! But the nuclear batteries you make for testing must be made to undergo various limit tests! Their quality and safety issues are related to the detector. Can it be used!"
