Great Power Technology

The so-called negative thermal expansion material means that when the temperature rises, the volume of the material does not increase but decreases. By controlling the ratio of the two materials to obtain a material with an expansion coefficient of zero, a truly high-temperature resistant material is obtained. However, the raw ore currently collected from the ground obviously does not have an expansion coefficient approaching zero.

Even if it is brought up, further synthesis experiments will still be done.

Ye Zhou once again modified his mental modeling and added a new part of temperature testing. In addition, he also added a new detection program for the detector. Before completing all operations and the detector began to ignite and rise, he wanted to try to Solve the problem of the parachute not being able to pop up and ensure that this detection is 100% successful!

[Dragon Heart plot simulation begins]

Ye Zhou entered a coma step by step, and the subconscious program began to take effect. He completed all tests under the control of the program, and successfully measured the effect of temperature on the properties of the ore by changing the temperature of the experimental chamber.

It is indeed a material with negative thermal expansion. When the temperature of the experimental cabin decreases, this rough ore even increases at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Having determined this, in fact, for Ye Zhou, he also determined the key to the heat resistance of this material.

He then began a comprehensive self-examination of the detector.

This process was completely mechanized. Without any clues, Ye Zhou listed all the dangerous factors that might prevent the parachute from ejecting and eliminated them step by step.

After the program was completed, he started the ignition ascent system.

The detector quickly rose above the ground. The moment the sunlight entered, the thinking program received a stop signal, and Ye Zhou regained his active consciousness.

He waited expectantly.

However, everything didn't go as smoothly as he thought.

The parachute still wouldn't eject.

In the last two minutes, Ye Zhou ignited the reverse thrust engine in accordance with the requirements of the ground command, minimizing damage to the detector from a heavy fall and ensuring the integrity of the information brought back from the ground.

But it was indeed impossible for him to survive such a fall.

Under the violent impact, Ye Zhou returned to the void again.

[This simulation rating: B]

[Reward: 10 energy points (clue reward)]

[Clue Discovery: Target Material Synthesis Conditions]

He looked at the settlement interface in confusion, somewhat confused as to why.

Even though all the information has been collected, why hasn't the ending been reached yet?

Is it possible that this researcher really needs to be allowed to survive in the plot simulation?

Not that much.

The original purpose is to explore the conditions for the formation of new materials. Why do people have to live?

The information has been passed on, and the material samples have been brought. What else is there to do?

Ye Zhou felt that his spirit was extremely exhausted, but he really didn't want to quit the simulation now, because once he quit, it meant that he had to repeat the programming process.

After sighing, Ye Zhou had no choice but to enter the sea of ​​strings again.

It seems that it is impossible to detect parachute abnormalities through programming.

This is also normal. Programs can only perform fixed activities, and are not very useful for activities that require creativity and do not have any clear direction. This is also an important reason why humans can distinguish themselves from artificial intelligence at the current stage.

He modified the previously programmed thinking program and canceled the automatic detection of parachute anomalies. Instead, he automatically woke up after the detector ascended above the Moho interface and entered a safe range, and then operated by his subjective consciousness.

After entering the simulation step by step, Ye Zhou woke up on time during the detector's ascent stage. The first thing he did was to turn on the intercom to contact the ground command.

"Tu Tu Temple, this is Tu Xingsun! There is a problem with my detector's parachute, and I need your help to check it immediately!"

After a brief pause, the command's reply came through with loud noise.

"Tu Xingsun, the system detects that your parachute is normal. What is your problem?"

"My parachute won't pop out!"

Ye Zhou replied anxiously.

Once the engine is ignited, it cannot be extinguished, nor can the rising process be interrupted.

At this time, there were less than 4 minutes before the detector left the ground and took off. He had to find and eliminate the anomaly within these 4 minutes.

"Tu Xingsun, we haven't entered the parachute ejection stage yet. How did you find that the parachute couldn't eject?"

Ye Zhou was stunned for a moment when he was asked, but in an instant, his mind suddenly opened up.

yes.

Why should I go step by step to check which link has the problem?

That's a strategy you only need to use when you only have one chance.

But am I not in the simulator now? I only need to try to manually open the parachute at various times during the ascent. When the parachute cannot be opened, the problem will naturally surface.

This is the most reliable and effective method.

After all, he had no idea whether there was a problem with the parachute from the beginning or whether the problem occurred during the ascent.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhou put down the intercom immediately and cut off the remote contact with the command center. Then he found the emergency control button and entered the password to gain full control of the detector.

He then entered the command to eject the parachute.

The explosive cord that had been buried long ago was excited by the current, part of the detector's shell was thrown away, and the main parachute popped out.

Under the huge disturbance, the detector completely lost its balance and crashed into the tunnel.

Ye Zhou returned to the void with satisfaction, which at least proved that the parachute still worked normally within the depth range below 8 kilometers.

Looking at the 45 energy points displayed on the settlement interface, Ye Zhou entered the simulation again without hesitation.

8-6 kilometers, the parachute works normally.

6-4 kilometers, normal.

4-2 kilometers is still normal.

2-0 kilometers, this time, the main parachute did not pop up.

found it!

Ye Zhou entered the playback interface and began to use the talent of "Master of Structural Science" to check the status of the detector frame by frame.

After a long time, he finally found the key to the problem.

The surface of the detector had already been damaged by falling rocks, and a small piece of the remaining stardust insulation coating on the surface was scraped off. However, because it was only a local damage, the detector's self-inspection system did not detect it.

And this damaged area happens to be the weak shell used for parachute ejection.

During the subsequent ascent, the high temperature escaping from the engine and the temperature of the ground caused the shell that lost its coating protection to slightly deform, distorting the arrangement of the explosive cord, resulting in the energy of the explosive cord not being fully released as planned during the ejection process. , ultimately destroying the parachute ejection mechanism.

Ye Zhou watched the replay speechlessly. The reason for this incomparable coincidence was something he never expected.

What's even worse is that he seems to have no way to simply change this matter.

The stone is there, destined to fall.

The detector was destined to be smashed.

What can be done?

At the beginning of the design of the detector, this situation was actually considered, so the stardust coating left a margin. Even if there was a rockfall, it would not cause too much damage to the overall structure.

But by chance, the rock hit directly on top of the explosive cord, with a probability of just a few hundred percent.

If you really want to solve this problem, you need to start monitoring from the descent stage, find out the source of the rockfall, and then avoid it by controlling the descent speed.

This was again long and boring work.

But as long as you can survive, it is meaningful.
