A big country of aerospace with black technology

"The construction of the 100-meter electromagnetic acceleration pipeline has been completed."

"The first experiment can begin at any time."

Yuan Xing, the person in charge of the large model of the electromagnetic acceleration pipeline, said to Zhang Xingyang excitedly.

The construction of electromagnetic acceleration pipelines is not difficult for infrastructure enthusiasts.

During the construction process, the biggest difficulty was how to keep the hundreds-meter-long electromagnetic acceleration pipeline straight.

Millimeter-level errors are not allowed.

One millimeter tolerance for initial pipe.

Inaccuracies of more than 1 cm can occur at the end of the pipe.

And if the flight distance of the accelerated object is extended to 10,000 kilometers.

Deviations can reach tens of kilometers.

If such an accelerated pipeline is to be used to transport supplies to the moon.

Then the supplies after the moon landing will become extremely random.

Maybe the last supply of supplies is still 100 kilometers north of the landing point.

Next time, you can fly to a location 80 kilometers east of the landing point.

"What is the current exit deviation of the electromagnetic acceleration orbit?"

Zhang Xingyang asked a key question.

If the deviation is too large, it's not a good time to experiment.

At least a large-scale improvement of the orbit deviation is required.

Only then can the experiment be restarted.

"We added an attitude adjustment track at the end of the acceleration track, trying to center the trajectory of the flying object at the end."

Yuan Xing talked about their unique design of electromagnetic acceleration orbits.

The ultra-long electromagnetic orbit means that the object accelerates in the pipeline for a period of time.

A certain degree of deviation is bound to occur.

This cannot be removed in any way.

First of all, the electromagnetic acceleration orbit cannot remain completely straight.

Secondly, there are subtle changes in the current between different sections of the electromagnetic track.

This will cause the force on the flying object to be unbalanced, resulting in deviation.

As for Yuan Xing and others, they did not solve this problem during the process.

Think directly about the consequences.

Adjust the flight attitude at the end of the flying object.

As long as the end can realign its flight attitude, it doesn't matter if it was flying around in the pipe before.

That's no problem.

"We have enough confidence in the 100-meter electromagnetic acceleration pipeline we just completed."

Yuan Xing assured Zhang Xingyang.

It is still very cold in the plain areas in winter.

In the farmland not far from the experimental area, white frost flowers are still hanging on the leaves of wheat seedlings.

It is hard to imagine that an important laboratory for space construction was built in this inconspicuous piece of countryside.

Zhang Xingyang rubbed his hands.

He was still at the Wenchang launch base in Hainan, which was as warm as spring yesterday.

The body is not used to such cold weather yet.

The electromagnetic acceleration pipeline is not specifically connected to a high-voltage cable for power supply.

Instead, a high-power space power station receiver was installed directly inside the factory.

Receive electrical energy directly from power-generating satellites in space.

After another year of development, Galaxy Power’s installed capacity has doubled compared to the previous year.

It has the ability to provide short-term power supply for some major scientific research projects.

Electromagnetic acceleration pipelines do not require a large amount of electrical energy all the time.

Power supply is only required during experiments.

Yuan Xing only needs to provide the required duration, location, power and other information a few days in advance.

Declaration is made on Galaxy Power’s internal website.

All you have to do is wait.

As for the electricity we use on weekdays, we still use high-voltage lines from nearby residential areas.

Zhang Xingyang and his party walked into the factory.

In the factory building that is hundreds of meters long, the first thing that comes into view is the electromagnetic acceleration pipeline that is more than 100 meters long.

Several thick cables were connected from the wireless power transmission receiving station dozens of meters away and fixed neatly on the ground.

Look towards the exit end of the electromagnetic acceleration pipe.

An entire wall near the exit end was raised.

Outside the factory building, there was a huge target erected.

Used to test the accuracy of electromagnetic acceleration devices.

"We set the targets at 100 meters, 200 meters and 500 meters respectively."

Yuan Xing pointed at the target in the distance that seemed to be the size of a car.

This is just the feeling of standing more than two hundred meters away.

In fact the target is almost three meters high.

As for the targets that are further away, it is difficult to see them clearly.

"The space satellite is about to arrive in our sky and can start supplying power to the electromagnetic acceleration orbit at any time."

Yuan Xing said after looking at the satellite trajectory on his mobile phone.

Today, Dragon Kingdom has tens of thousands of satellites operating in space every moment.

Therefore, a complete satellite monitoring system has been developed to detect the trajectory of satellites.

This is to prevent their tracks from overlapping and then colliding during their operation.

Even this satellite monitoring system is equipped with several of the most advanced supercomputing systems in the country to calculate the orbits of each satellite in real time.

Power satellites are the largest type of satellites.

Naturally, it is also subject to extremely strict monitoring.

With their size, even if they collide with a hundred-ton space station, they can be damaged by the space station.

"They're coming!"

Yuan Xing looked at the notification on his phone and said.

There were no earth-shattering sounds, nor any changes in light.

Microwaves have traveled hundreds of kilometers in an instant.

From space, he came within the range of the ground receiving station.

The surging electrical energy instantly surged along the cable toward the electromagnetic acceleration track.

"The acceleration process has begun!"

Yuan Xing put down his phone and looked at the blue lights that gradually lit up on both sides of the pipe.

Electromagnetic acceleration itself does not have any sound and light effects.

The purpose of the lights is to allow workers on both sides of the electromagnetic pipeline to clearly realize that the magnetic field inside the pipeline is starting to become stronger and stronger.

The automatic loader inside the pipe quickly loads a coin-sized block into it.

The strong thrust generated by the magnetic field begins to give a huge acceleration to the object with a small mass.

Although the appearance of the electromagnetic acceleration pipeline looks extremely sci-fi.

But its actual principle is extremely simple.

Just a simple application of F=ma.

When the force remains constant, the smaller the mass of the object, the greater the acceleration of the object.

At first, the speed of the block increases, but it is still relatively slow due to surface friction and other factors.

It is difficult to eliminate the effects of friction above the ground.

This is actually easier to do in space.

Yuan Xing nervously clutched the phone in his hand and said.

"The acceleration of the electromagnetic acceleration orbit is very large, and the acceleration process will be completed very quickly and will start soon."

Before Yuan Xing finished speaking, he only saw a reddish metal block flying at high speed and friction with the air, flying out of the pipe.

Power generation satellites transmit tens of thousands of kWh of electricity to the ground in an instant.

This electrical energy is then converted into ampere force within the electromagnetic acceleration pipe, pushing the object to fly at high speed inside the pipe.

The whole process was completed in just a flash.

Zhang Xingyang just blinked, and the entire acceleration process was over.

There are even some doubts about whether the attitude adjustment system at the end is working.

Because in such a short period of time, it is doubtful whether the flying object can be adjusted back to the correct orbit. (End of chapter)
