Chapter 41 Modification



Therefore, the temperature control system of the spacecraft is a very important component of the spacecraft.

The current method of heat dissipation of the Iron Ore mainly relies on heat sinks, which cool down through thermal radiation.

Overall, the efficiency is very low. When an unexpected situation occurs, the spacecraft can basically only rely on the spacecraft's own water-cooling temperature control systems to absorb the temperature first and then slowly release it.

Therefore, Chen Ming planned to modify the spacecraft's heat conduction pipes and add a new subsystem, an emergency cooling system, to the temperature control system.

In extreme cases, the temperature can be quickly transferred to the medium prepared in the emergency cooling system, and the medium with a large amount of heat energy can be discharged outside the spacecraft to stabilize the temperature inside the spacecraft.

For example, if the engine overheats, this system can quickly stabilize the engine temperature.

After Chen Ming had modified the spacecraft's overload power grid, overheating was basically inevitable if the engine was overloaded.

After all, Chen Ming had used the overload power grid when he first came into contact with the mechanical race. The actual experience was that the temperature of the spacecraft rose significantly when the overload was activated.

So in addition to modifying the emergency cooling system, Chen Ming also plans to make some modifications to the engine.

If we use the options on the panel, the modification to the temperature system is [Emergency Cooling Device].

The modification of the engine is [engine isolation assembly].

Even if the engine is not overloaded, normal natural heat dissipation will increase the temperature of the engine compartment, placing an additional burden on the spacecraft's own cooling system.

The engine itself is isolated from the engine compartment by additional isolating equipment.

This allows the engine to make better use of the engine's own water cooling system, while the cabin temperature can also be better controlled.

Chen Ming can also specially build a heat conduction pipe to connect the emergency cooling system and the engine to improve the protection of the engine.

This will definitely be beneficial to the future operation of the spacecraft.

This is a transformation idea that Chen Ming came up with after thinking about it for a long time.

Because the spacecraft is currently still in the acceleration stage, there is no way to modify the exterior of the spacecraft, and only the interior of the spacecraft can be modified.

And inside the spacecraft.

There is currently nothing that needs to be modified in the captain's room. There is only a chair and the bridge equipment for controlling the spacecraft.

To pilot the spaceship, one does not rely on the equipment in the captain's room but on consciousness, so there is no need for any modification.

The living cabin had been renovated before and a studio was built.

The planting cabin is currently operating well, and even if I want to modify it, I don’t have the relevant agricultural knowledge.

The storage compartment is now filled with materials, and I can't find where to modify it if I want to.

As for the working cabin, if we leave Raymu, where are the asteroids rich in minerals for the spacecraft to collect? There is no need for transformation.

So in the end, Chen Ming's attention fell on the engine compartment and the temperature control system that was closely related to the engine compartment.

With the overloaded power grid ahead, modifications to the engine compartment became necessary.

This is the most appropriate transformation Chen Ming should make at present after excluding other options.

Chen Ming finally placed the emergency cooling system in the working cabin. It happened that the working cabin did not need to be modified in a short period of time, and there were already ore absorption pipelines connecting the inside and the outside.

It is very convenient to open a new pipe for the discharge of the medium of the emergency cooling system next to it.

The only problem is that Chen Ming currently has the highest thermal conductivity medium on hand, which can absorb the most heat in the shortest time.

It's silver, lots of silver.

Although he felt a little sad, Chen Ming finally prepared the silver he had saved from smelting the mechanical clan and the mind pulse generator.

Add it later when remodeling.

The modification carried out personally by Chen Ming started on the fifteenth day after the spacecraft took off and lasted until the end of the second month.

It took a lot of time.

Without experience, you have to be cautious and trial-and-error in many areas, and if there are any signs of problems, you can just use the panel to repair them as before.

Although slow, at least it is stable and safe.

And with repeated experiments and operations, Chen Ming's skills are improving rapidly.

When the transformation reached the final stage, Chen Ming's proficiency in the transformation was completely different from the beginning.

The next renovation will surely be more efficient.

On the fifty-eighth day after the spacecraft took off, Chen Ming completely completed the modification of the spacecraft's temperature system.

The engines are isolated.

The emergency cooling system was placed in another corner of the working chamber opposite the smelting furnace.

It can also be used to assist in heat dissipation in normal times, so you won’t end up making something you don’t know when it will be used.

Then comes the next transformation.

Chen Ming had already thought of it before, which was to modify two Type I mechanical electromagnetic javelins.

According to what is displayed on the panel, Chen Ming has to carry out four modifications.

[Ballistic rangefinder] uses laser to quickly measure the relative position to the target, which is very helpful for weapon aiming.

[Target Positioning System] is similar to the weapon guidance system that comes with a spacecraft.

However, the Iron Ore is a civilian ship, and its guidance system has limitations when it leaves the factory, and can only lock onto objects such as meteorites and asteroids.

This modification allows the weapon to automatically lock onto any target set by Chen Ming.

Then there is the [Additional Coil], which can increase the range and speed of the electromagnetic bullet. For electromagnetic weapons, speed is power.

Chen Ming originally planned to do the last transformation himself.

Just like the previous modification of the pistol, the most basic magnetic live ammunition used in the electromagnetic javelin is modified.

It was only after Chen Ming actually made a few new bullets that he discovered that he had manually replaced the bullets in the weapon.

Then during the next maintenance, the bullets that Chen Ming replaced himself will become the original bullets again.

Only through the modification of the panel will the bullet be restored normally when repaired.

So Chen Ming could only let the panel do the modification of this bullet directly.

The final modification option chosen was to extremely enhance the penetration capability of the electromagnetic javelin [armor-piercing electromagnetic bullet].

Weapon modification is relatively simple.

Because Chen Ming had previously discovered that the modifications on the replaced 22mm machine gun were also brought down with it.

In other words, Chen Ming can directly replace the electromagnetic javelin, modify it, and then replace it.

Very convenient.

A few days later, the weapon modification was completed.

The spacecraft has completely entered the stage of stable flight.

So in the next period of time, Chen Ming plans to carry out a major project.

Modify the external armor of the spacecraft.
