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, a material with an expansion coefficient of zero is obtained, thus obtaining a truly durable material.

High-temperature materials, however, the raw ores currently collected from the ground obviously do not have an expansion coefficient approaching 0.

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

Ye Zhou once again modified his mental modeling and added a temperature test part. In addition, he also added a new detection program for the detector. After completing all operations and the detector began to ignite and rise, he wanted to try to

Solve the problem that the parachute cannot be ejected 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 by changing the temperature of the experimental cabin, he successfully measured the effect of temperature on the properties of the ore.

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

Then, he began to conduct 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 executed, 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 did not go as smoothly as he thought.

The parachute still failed to 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.

[The second phase plot simulation of Dragon Heart ends]

[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 really necessary to keep this researcher alive in the plot simulation?

Not really.

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. For activities that require creativity and do not have any clear direction, they are not very useful. This is also an important reason why humans can be different from artificial intelligence at the current stage.

He modified the thinking program that he had programmed before, canceling the automatic detection of parachute anomalies, and instead ascended from the detector to above the Moho interface, automatically woke up after entering a safe range, and then operated it with 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 noises.

"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 and the rising process cannot 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 thoughts 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 a simulator now? I only need to try to open the parachute manually at various times during the ascent, until the parachute cannot be opened, and 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, entered the password and gained full control of the detector.

Then, he 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 stardust insulation coating remaining on the surface was scraped off, but because it was only a local damage, the detector's self-inspection system did not detect it.

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

During the subsequent ascent, the high temperature escaping from the engine combined with the temperature of the ground caused the shell that had 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 according to the predetermined design 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 there seems to be no way for him to simply change this matter.

The stone is there, destined to fall.

The detector is 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 is again long and boring work.
Chapter completed!
