Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Aerospace Technology Group.

A huge cylindrical core compartment is parked in the center of the plant in Jinmen Space City.

Immediately before the last inspection begins, engineers from the five houses are conducting routine safety checks on the completed core compartments.

After checking the line of the core hatch door, confirm that it can be switched normally after entering the password. Sun Yuan Pei, with his safety helmet, lifted his arm and rubbed it in front of his forehead, grinning the corner of his mouth, and chatted with another engineer beside him.

“… Professor Lu, the chief designer of the Moon Orbit Construction Committee, is a real shade this time. ”

Burying his head to do the work on his hands, Zhao Chuanpu didn't look up either. He answered with a humming voice: “Yes, it is. ”

In one sentence, the launch plan was arranged at the end of the month, and they were resting on a double holiday, and immediately came to the unit.

Sun Yuanpei shook his head and said: “Sometimes I really don't understand what this guy is thinking. Is it bad to be an elder in the business of controllable fusion? I heard that this guy quit the position of the director of the Nuclear Fusion Energy Program Implementation Center, and the East Asian Power Engineer's position was given to someone else, and the iron heart ran over to do space... is that insane? ”

In his view, the future of the space industry was certainly no better than controlled nuclear fusion in the middle of the day.

Otherwise, looking at controllable fusion technologies and engineers of East Asian electricity, how many national interests the Chinese nation has gained internationally is enough to meet this bright and unlimited future.

However, this Professor Lu seemed to ignore all of this, and after completing his research on controllable fusion, he threw away a toy that was already tired of putting it all aside.

In the eyes of most scientists, this is not only unimaginable, but also incomprehensible.

Didn't you work so hard to taste the fruit of your final victory?

Getting out when the fruit is picked is just amazing.

Zhao Shuanpu corrected the safety cap on the front head and closed the line protection cover on the cabin wall.

“The ghost knows what he thinks. ”

And a slightly younger engineer next to him said, "Maybe he's different from us? ”

Sun Yuan Pei leaves his mouth open: “Both noses have one eye. What difference can it make? ”

At this point, footsteps were heard outside the factory, and the three people immediately started talking.

Soon after, Aeronautics Group vice president Zheng Xiangdong and chief engineer Yuan Huanming academician walked into the factory with a group of people.

After walking to Sun Yuanpei, the Yuan Academician looked at the core compartment of his eyes and asked him.

“Is the check complete? ”

“It's done and there's no problem with the lines.” Sun Yuanpei straightened his waistplate immediately and handed the checked form to the old gentleman.

After taking a look at the form, Yuan Yanshi nodded and then looked at the system director of the Five-House Space Station behind him.

“Let the test begin. ”

“Okay!”

Director Zhang nodded and did so immediately.

The test was originally scheduled for two days later, but since the next launch was ready on Sky Tech's side and the NASA's side was tight, all work was advanced.

Sun Yuanpei, an engineer for the Space Station project, was not concerned, however, that the design of the Moon Palace core module could be said to have brought together the most advanced technology of the entire Aeronautics Group and improved it on the basis of the Heavenly Palace core module.

Soon, the core compartment was brought into the vacuum chamber and suspended by four cables. As the gas in the vacuum chamber is gradually drawn away, the entire core chamber is already in an environment similar to outer space.

Immediately after the operator pressed the start button, all the equipment on the core compartment except the solar panel was started, while the operation of the components and the physical parameters were all reflected on the console screen.

“All parts are working properly! ”

Standing next to the Yuan Academician, Aeronautics Group Vice President Zheng eased his breath and the tight divine color stretched a smile.

Yet at this moment, Yuan Academician next to him, his eyebrows slightly wrinkled.

“… something is wrong. ”

Soon after he let go, his heart hung up again. Zheng looked to Dong and asked Yuan Yan immediately.

“Where not? ”

The Yuan Academician did not directly reply and was silent for a while and said.

“Look again. ”

Zheng said nervously to Dong: “Don't scare me...”

The launch mission is about to start at the end of the month, and if something goes wrong with this knot, he can't afford this responsibility.

The Yuan Academician did not speak and his eyes remained firmly locked on the screen.

Seeing that the old man did not continue talking, Zheng relaxed slightly to the east center.

Maybe it's a mistake, maybe?

So comforted himself, he set his mind and continued to look at the screen on the console.

Ten minutes...

Twenty minutes...

Until half an hour later, the mutation finally took place.

Only the temperature curves of the components that fluctuate upwards finally show a noticeable upward trend. According to the temperature time function prediction, the temperature of the entire core compartment is rising rapidly and a critical value will be reached after 24 hours, with the antenna control element shutting down first due to overheating.

Watching this scene, a drop of cold sweat slipped through Sun Yuanpei's forehead.

At the same time, a terrible word came to his mind.

Hot pile!

Based on the current trend of rising temperatures in spacecraft, the total heat production in the core cabin has clearly exceeded the heat dissipation load of the thermal control system.

Not only did Sun Yuanpei see this, but other engineers and researchers in the lab also noticed something was wrong.

The first person to react was the Yuan Academician, who was only seen as having an opportunity to cut off the path.

“Stop the experiment! Into the protective gas. ”

“Yes!”

Engineers in the lab, quickly got busy.

As the airlock opens and nitrogen flows into the vacuum chamber, the power supply of each component is turned off successively, and the working temperature of the core chamber finally drops.

However, none of the lab engineers had a light-hearted look on their faces.

In particular, Director Zhang, who stood in front of the console, and Sun Yuantai engineer in charge of the space station project, had a bleak expression on their faces at this moment.

“Shit...”

Even if he did not understand the technical problems, Vice President Zheng Xiangdong also saw something wrong from the atmosphere on the scene, and rushed to look at the Yuan Yancheng standing next to him and asked.

“What happened?! ”

Yuan Yancheng's eyebrows locked tightly, then shook his head and briefly explained the sentence.

“Big trouble. ”

Although the entire spacecraft had not been disassembled, he had probably seen an approximation.

Obviously, the problem is with the loop heat pipe in the core compartment.

This loop heat pipe is typically used as a cooling system for spacecraft to deliver heat from electronic equipment to a heat sink through evaporation and condensation fluids and emit in the form of thermal radiation.

If something goes wrong with this part, even if the rest of the group is built to perfection, it works for nothing!

Now there are only two ways to solve this problem, one is to remove the entire loop heat pipe and redesign it. Either, at the expense of spacecraft performance, streamline or even dismantle some high-calorific equipment to reduce the total heat value of the entire spacecraft.

The problem, however, is that this thing is not a work compartment, not a laboratory compartment, not even a node compartment, but a core compartment to the heart of the entire Moon Palace station! It has the same significance as the functional cargo compartment of the International Space Station "Dawn”.

Even if they wanted to remove some high-calorific equipment, there was nothing left to remove.

However, the removal of the entire loop heat pipe and the redesign of the radiation system would not only mean that billions of RMB were being spent on water drifting, but would also mean that the entire Moon Orbit Space Station programme would be affected.

When he heard the noise, "I'm in big trouble”, Vice President Zheng only felt a little cold on his hands and feet. He gradually seeped sweat in front of his forehead.

The next launch is at the end of the month.

Now that the core compartment is ready to go up to heaven, I didn't expect something to go wrong at a critical time.

If it's unusual, it would be unfortunate to examine the problem before heaven.

But now, in an extraordinary period, the Ares life-support unit has just been launched, and the nation is looking forward to the Lunar Palace program arguing for breath, resulting in a chain loss in the most critical core compartment.

If not, the launch plan for 2021 will have to be postponed...

This is not a responsibility that a vice president can shoulder.
