Tiansuo is heading towards the earth at a constant speed. Eternal Universe Particle's communication and positioning technology is stable. After each jump, it can stably maintain contact with the earth's communication equipment and the communication equipment on Martian base. A group of people watched the ice cutting drill at close range through multiple gravity observation cameras preset in the Mars nuclear power plant area.
This is the first time that the Source Point Circle has been used for a formal large-scale object cutting experiment! It has very important data reference value and reference significance for subsequent asteroid cutting.
"It's cut!" Xu Shuwei said in a deep voice.
As the source circle disconnected, the absolute cutting effect took effect, and the giant sheet-shaped iceberg of Space-time Traversal was instantly cut open halfway through. Under the short-term levitation effect, the evenly distributed gravitational swarm waiting in the center of the source circle was divided into two and quickly moved towards the other side. The steel claws were quickly nailed to the ice surface, while stabilizing the suspension of the two huge ice blocks.
"Successful!" Everyone couldn't help but cheered, and Chen Mengchuan also had a smile on his face.
Although the absolute cutting effect of the source circle has been confirmed very early, this is the first time such a huge object has been cut. Judging from the experimental effect, it is more perfect than imagined. The huge iceberg is divided into two. At the same time, the multi-directional traction brought by the gravity bees at the bottom and edge still maintains a stable suspension effect. Of course, this has a lot to do with the fact that Mars gravity is far lower than the earth.
In the video screen, the same steps of cutting were carried out again. The giant glacier was broken into pieces and cut quickly and evenly.
After everyone stopped paying attention, the work lasted for a full day. After thousands of cuts, the huge ice cubes finally turned into square equilateral cubes with a side length of 48 meters. They were suspended on the surface of the giant pit under multiple gravity structure capture devices.
These cubes of ice melted very slowly under the surrounding temperature of 13 degrees Celsius. Although the gravity on the surface of Mars is only about 38% of that of the Earth, the melted water still slowly dripped to the bottom of the pit like rain, quickly moistening the huge metal pit that had been processed in advance.
As time went by, these water molecules gathered little by little, and an artificial lake slowly took shape.
At the bottom of this artificial lake is a very thick bottom of the pit pressed down by gravity equipment. After first being treated with a heat insulation layer, a layer of anti-rust dense steel plate with a thickness of 3.5 cm was laid. It is extremely strong!
"How do you plan to melt these ices?" Xu Shuwei asked Toni curiously.
"Crush it and pour it in, then throw in 5,000 heating rods. It will take a few hours for all the water to melt. After it melts, the water can be used and then the sealing process will be carried out." Toni answered.
"Such a large area can be dissolved in a few hours? Doesn't it require a lot of water to evaporate?"
"It won't evaporate too much. If it melts too quickly to seal it, it will be troublesome. The temperature of Mars at night is minus 30 degrees Celsius. By then, the melted water will freeze again. So to maintain the temperature of the water, it must be melted as soon as possible and then sealed to maintain the temperature. Although there is an insulation layer, to maintain the temperature of the water at a stable temperature to avoid temperature loss, it still needs to be continuously stirred and heated." Toni said slowly.
Chen Mengchuan on the side asked, "How long will it take to build a nuclear power plant?"
Toni opened a separate interface. "It will take less than a week to complete the infrastructure construction and sealed working environment of the entire nuclear power plant. However, it will take more than 2 weeks for the reactor device and the entire nuclear power circuit system to enter the test. Even if we have a large number of high-frequency workloads Multi-Arm Crab, the entire nuclear power plant will take more than 20 days to start testing."
"20 days?" Chen Mengchuan was a little surprised by this time period.
Puslin looked at Chen Mengchuan and answered, "Yes, the temperature on Mars is much lower than the surface of the earth, so the effect of Rankine cycle will be better here. The four stages of Rankine cycle will be affected by many on Mars. But generally based on low temperature and low pressure, it is more conducive to rapid cooling. During this cycle, the water is compressed by the water pump and rises from low pressure to high pressure, becoming a high-pressure water body, and then injected into the nuclear reactor boiler for heating. Under constant pressure, the high-pressure water absorbs a large amount of heat brought by nuclear fission and quickly becomes saturated steam and expands."
"The expansion of the saturated steam will drive our turbine to generate electricity, and then the temperature and pressure of the saturated steam will decrease and become wet steam. Then it will enter our condenser, and then condense into saturated water. During this whole process, the low temperature of the entire surface of Mars and the low temperature at night will greatly improve our condenser, which will make the entire Rankine cycle more smooth."
"This will greatly reduce our temperature testing time and temperature calibration time, otherwise it would take more than half a month."
Puslin grinned after finishing speaking, "If the nuclear energy companies on earth knew that we could build a nuclear power plant in 20 days, they would all go crazy."
"20 days is not that fast, Puslin." Toni said calmly. In his opinion, everything is pre-designed, and he only needs to arrange Multi-Arm Crab to quickly assemble and build it, and install and test it at the same time. But even so, it still takes 20 days, which is not fast in his opinion.
"You know, we have a graphene optical quantum supercomputer and thousands of Multi-Arm Crab, so this is not fast." Toni added.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, let Toni finish pretending." Xu Shuwei joked.
As he said this, everyone laughed.
After 60 hours of sailing time, the staff on Tiansuo began to adjust the speed. Tiansuo quickly slowed down, and the huge blue planet appeared in front of everyone again.
The vibrant blue color formed a sharp contrast with the vast khaki and red color of Mars. Similarly, the emotions and state of mind of the people who returned to Earth were completely different from when they left Earth.
Before the last Space-time Traversal, everyone in the entire main control room looked at the earth quietly through the opened huge transparent skylight, feeling the breath of life under this quiet planet.
"Let's go, it's time for us to go home." Chen Mengchuan took a deep breath and said.
Eternal Universe Particle shuttle once again opened a huge light blue source point circle, and the entire Tiansuo slowly flew into it.
