Fifteen minutes!
"Yes!!" A researcher forcefully swung his fist and shouted loudly.
Sounds of relief echoed, several people clapped to celebrate, and so even hugged their computers and ran to the side to start preparing for the next phase of work.
"Don’t celebrate just yet! Keep observing! The longer Sun Hang’s fungal stability can be maintained, the more ti the preparation team has, and the higher the action fault tolerance rate!" Song Yarong said.
Only at twenty-two minutes and forty seconds did the instrunt readings begin to change significantly, and then, in a re half-second, this mass of fungal threads directly turned to powder and scattered at the bottom of the transparent box.
"Twenty-two minutes and forty-six point seven seconds!" The researcher holding the box carefully placed it on the ground; only then did he realize his arm was intensely sore, almost like it was going to break — with all the equipnt, this test box weighs over ten kilograms. Logically, he should have placed the box on the side experint table right after Sun Hang threw the fungal threads in. But after five seconds, his mind went completely blank, only chanically reciting the data shown on the screen, completely forgetting to put the box on the experint table.
Even those observing researchers forgot to remind him about this.
This resulted in the guy turning into a human stand, standing motionless for twenty-two minutes.
"That’s great!" Song Yarong clenched her fist and turned to Sun Hang, "This kind of fungal thread, can you provide it in large quantities? After I increased the duration of my own fungal threads from one point nine seconds to three point four seconds, I found that I couldn’t manufacture this type of fungal thread in large quantities. And forcibly making it gave a sense of extre fatigue, which is hard to eliminate whether by rest or dication, and just has to fade away on its own."
"That fungal mass was just sothing I made casually... I didn’t specifically try to extend its duration... If you need it, I could produce at least a few tons." Sun Hang replied, "But on the condition that there are enough materials around for to devour and transform into the components of the fungal threads."
From this perspective, the Tai Sui fungal threads still adhere to the law of conservation of mass.
Facing Chira 17, many of those Fungus Puppets were transford from soil — the fungal threads buried underground not only connect each Fungus Puppet but, like plant roots, also absorb soil constituents and convert them into materials that form fungal threads.
However, without absorbing external materials, Sun Hang can also split several Fungus Puppets — these Fungus Puppets appear human-sized but are very light, with each puppet weighing less than a kilogram, showing extre lightweight design.
If it weren’t for the short duration of the fungal threads, this would certainly trigger a revolution in the field of material science.
"That’s wonderful! We won’t even need that much; each PFDA requires less than two hundred grams of Tai Sui fungal threads! I’ll later show you the component drawings, you just need to use fungal threads to construct corresponding parts based on the drawings, and soone else will handle the assembly!"
Song Yarong didn’t tell Sun Hang that to minimize the ti loss of fungal threads during assembly, those technicians have practiced over a thousand tis these days, optimizing and reducing the entire assembly process from initially thirty minutes to now eighty-five seconds.
"However, I still have a question. How do you plan to stop this thing?" Sun Hang asked, "The safe zone around Chira 17 is only three hundred ters, if we decelerate early, it increases the risk of being hit by Chira 17’s reactive response. If we decelerate after entering the safe zone... if I’m correct, even the latest fighter jets with strong short-distance takeoff and landing capabilities need a three to four hundred ter runway for buffering during landing. These jets have a maximum speed of only over Mach 3, yet they begin to decelerate before reaching the runway... now you want a Mach 5 object to decelerate within a three hundred ter distance... or are you planning to crash directly into Chira 17?"
"You’re slightly wrong; the landing distance isn’t three hundred ters; it’s nearly six hundred ters." Song Yarong said, gesturing with both hands left and right, "From one end of the safe zone to the other end... this is calculating the diater, not the radius."
"Based on our calculations, excluding the diater and space occupied by Chira 17, and maintaining a minimum ten-ter safe distance from Chira 17, the extre landing distance available to PFDA is four hundred and ninety ters. After deceleration, we can activate reverse and lateral thrusters, making the final flight path into an arc around Chira 17... according to computer simulations, the actual landing distance is over eight hundred ters."
"Even with eight hundred ters, how do you plan to reduce the speed of sothing traveling at Mach 5 to zero within that distance?" Sun Hang continued to ask, "Mach 5, five tis the speed of sound, three hundred forty tis five, that’s one thousand seven hundred ters per second... those eight hundred ters only provide half a second."
"After PFDA enters the safe zone, it will jettison the rear propulsion system and activate deceleration thrusters at the front of the armor and lateral steering thrusters. At the sa ti, the armor will launch a sticky anchor hook at Chira 17, utilizing Chira 17 for directional deceleration." Song Yarong explained, "In the second stage of deceleration, the armor will automatically disassemble and use internal ejectors to ’launch’ the pilot toward the ground. Simultaneously, safety airbags inside the specialized flight suit will rapidly inflate into a large balloon to cushion the counter-force from impact with the ground."
"Moreover, the balloon itself also carries directional control devices and mini-thrusters, ensuring the pilot won’t bounce out of the safe zone after landing... all this has been simulated on the computer, and we’ve reached the stage for actual testing, but got stuck on the fungal material issue." Song Yarong, while pointing at those researchers, engineers, and technicians who resud their work, said, "Your arrival helped resolve this problem. In an hour, the first actual equipnt test can officially begin!"
"Where are you planning to test? Who is the test personnel?" Sun Hang pointed to himself, "It can’t be , right?"
"In the southern suburb, we built a training ground simulating the Chira 17 incubation zone there, with a ’simulation cocoon’ made of high-strength concrete at the center, where the test will take place. As for the test personnel, we’ve already selected them... but if you want to test personally, I can switch out people temporarily!"
"No no, I’ll just watch... also, I don’t need PFDA." Sun Hang imdiately waved his hand.
"Indeed, your ability is much more practical than PFDA... seems like we need to make one less piece of equipnt in the end." Song Yarong patted her helt, "By the way, that ability of yours... it’s derived from ’Kui Niu,’ right?"
"Yes." Sun Hang nodded.
"What a pity, if I had known you could acquire such an ability, I might’ve overhauled the original PFDA design and developed a whole new entry apparatus... It’s a sha, really, but now there’s no ti for that." Song Yarong sighed, "However, PFDA will suffice!"
