Cosmic Survival: Sign In From The Rescue Capsule

Chapter 42 Can Ice Cubes Generate Electricity? (Part 5 Asks For Subscription!)

However, the problems encountered this time seem to be really tricky.

If you don't want to consume a lot of fuel, Zhang Mingrui probably needs to solve several problems.

First, the problem of power generation.

Although the rotation speed of the frozen planet is very slow, but one day, it will slowly enter the polar night state, at that time, once the solar panel cannot generate electricity, then the power generation efficiency of other generators is only less than a thousand degrees, and may not even meet the daily electricity needs.

Second, the issue of resource collection.

After such a sudden situation, Zhang Mingrui probably understood the general structure of the frozen planet.

If both the ice and the sea are considered oceans, then a kilometer below the sea is where the seabed is.

This means that in fact, Zhang Mingrui does not need to let the robot jump into the sea at all, and directly punches holes in the ice to a kilometer below the ice surface to dig resources.

definitely, this requires the problem of the ice gradually refreezing, and how to go up and down the vertical height of one kilometer.

But if you follow the extension of the glacier and let the submersible robot slowly dig forward, this problem is less to worry about, but it raises another problem.

Third, the issue of resource transportation.

Under normal circumstances, after the digging robot stores the carry-on storage box, it needs to weigh 213 new back to the spacecraft and put them into the decomposition bin to empty before continuing the next excavation.

But if the glacier gradually moves away, the distance of the robot round trip will be greatly increased, and the diving robot will slowly be unable to withstand the low temperature on the glacier, resulting in the robot failure!

"What a hassle!"

Thinking of this, even though Zhang Mingrui was full of confidence, he couldn't help but scold.

"If only we could find a way to generate electricity as usual during the polar night."

Zhang Mingrui muttered that because the problem of resource collection and transportation is actually easier to solve.

In the case of having a land and water combat vehicle, Zhang Mingrui can fully play the role of a courier truck driver, constantly traveling to and from the coast and the spaceship to transport resources, although it also consumes more fuel, but it is always much smaller than the consumption of the spacecraft.

But the power problem is still more difficult to solve...

What is the most on the glacier?

Naturally, ice cubes are the most!

Can ice generate electricity?

Zhang Mingrui wanted to break his scalp, but he couldn't think of how to generate electricity with ice!

I searched in the information system for a long time, but I couldn't find the "ice generator" I wanted.

But found something that seemed to be useful.

Steam generators!

【(Beai) Inferior steam generator】

【Note】: You need to unlock [Steam Power Generation Technology] in advance to use water vapor to generate electricity.

[Resource requirements]: fine copper 10kg, fine iron 1kg, fine aluminum 1kg, lead 1kg.

【Remarks】: Inferior steam generators have an efficiency of 10%, and each liter of water vapor can produce 1 kWh of electricity.

Looking at the introduction of [Steam Generator], Zhang Mingrui's expression was a little strange, he always felt that he had caught something, but he couldn't remember what he caught for a while.

Steam generators, naturally, use steam to generate electricity, but in this cold and freezing, how can there be steam?

"Not right........ Wrong.. ...... I've definitely seen steam before, when did it come?"

Zhang Mingrui racked his brains and thought hard.

Boom!

At the moment, a tsunami not far away suddenly rose up into the sky, startling Zhang Mingrui and making him think of the details he had forgotten!

"Yes, explosion!"

"Icebreaker!"

"When the fish hole was dug yesterday, the icebreaking bomb directly melted a hundred meters of ice!"

"When it melts, it produces a lot of water vapor!"

Zhang Mingrui's eyes widened, and his heart was pleasantly surprised!

Suddenly, he began to thank the tsunami for helping him solve this really difficult problem!

"Start R&D [steam power generation technology]!"

Without saying a word, Zhang Mingrui began to develop the technology.

According to the previous situation, there are about three days before the spacecraft lands in the polar night, and before that, although the intensity of solar power will slowly decrease, but three days is enough to develop this technology and store considerable electricity!

"Although it is not clear how much water vapor is produced by an icebreaker bomb, how can hundreds of liters of water vapor appear in the previous battle, one goes down."

"Even if not all the water vapor will be absorbed by the steam generator, as long as an icebreaker can produce 50 degrees of electricity, this transaction is not a loss."

"If it exceeds 50 degrees, it is earned!"

Zhang Mingrui followed the logic of the entire power generation process, and his mood was even more joyful.

Although the production of icebreaker bombs also requires resources, compared with the demand for electricity, the input of those resources is always higher than coal, fuel oil and so on, and the rate of return is higher!

"If the resources to make icebreakers are gone, go sell [find other survivors]!"

Zhang Mingrui smiled, this method is definitely the most cost-effective method!

After successfully solving the Polar Night problem, Zhang Mingrui thought about rescuing seventeen robots.

But this time, there is really no way, so I can only abandon them temporarily, and when the situation here is stable, I will drive a land and water tank to rescue them.

Then two groups of thirty-four robots were built according to the same pattern, after all, the collection of resources must not be stopped.

Now that you know about the frozen planet, why not just build a large number of digging robots?

The number of excavations of so many robots is already the maximum capacity that can be stored in the trunk of a land and water combat vehicle, and no more can really fit it.

More is actually possible, but then it takes Zhang Mingrui to really play the role of a transporter, constantly going back and forth... Zhang Mingrui is not very happy about this, after all, he still wants to find free time to fish!

"After three days, the collection of neon gas should be almost complete, and the construction of the insulation layer can begin at that time.

"But collect as much as possible, because steam generators should also need insulation protection, and some other equipment may also need it."

"Anyway, the insulation layer is equivalent to a spring down jacket, if you are too cold, wear it, if you feel hot, take it off, it is not particularly troublesome."

Zhang Mingrui thought thoughtfully.

If the frozen planet is just like this, then the next resource collection process should be relatively smooth.

But there is always a feeling in my heart that is not very grounded.........

Or because of the inexplicable problem with the radar!

When Flight was ten kilometers above the frozen planet, he deliberately observed the radar once and found that the radar range at that time was eleven kilometers.

By the time it landed, the radar range was back to a kilometer again!

What does this mean?

"This shows that there must be something in the seabed that can shield radar detection!"

"It's like the alpha alloy you got before!"

"But certainly not alpha alloy, because it is absolutely impossible to spread all over the seabed!"

"And when the submersible drone was in the sea at a depth of one kilometer, it was suddenly alerted by pressure!"

Zhang Mingrui muttered, becoming more and more curious.

If the situation on the glacier has not stabilized, I really want to dive to the bottom of the sea immediately, go to a location below a kilometer, and find out!
