Galaxy Technology Empire

"Academician Ma, you have begun to comprehensively test and improve this No. 3 mass projector. The next mass projector will use this model as a prototype." Huang Haojie said to Academician Ma with a smile.

"But I feel that this prototype is still a little weak. It is estimated that even after improvements, it can only project to about 120 kilometers at most. Of course, if the mass of the space capsule is reduced, it can project even higher." Academician Ma quickly stated the problem.

Huang Junjie smiled without saying anything and clicked on the holographic bracelet.

A conceptual model of a vacuum pipe appears in mid-air.

Academician Ma involuntarily raised his glasses and approached the conceptual model of holographic projection.

Several researchers or engineers present were also fascinated and shocked.

"Mr. Huang, can this vacuum pipeline really be completed?" Academician Ma was both excited and worried.

If the vacuum pipeline in front of them can be completed, then their mass projector will be even more powerful and can soar up to 90,000 miles.

So he hoped the vacuum pipe was real, even though it looked a bit dreamy.

But he knew about strong magnetic repulsion materials, room-temperature superconductors were no problem, and carbon nanotubes were no problem either. The only thing that Academician Ma was not sure about was the elastic film.

However, Huang Junjie cannot be viewed with ordinary eyes. Since he dares to take it out, this elastic material must exist.

"Remember the Second Institute of Vacuum Engineering Research Institute? They have successfully developed a vacuum pipe that can produce a diameter of about 15 meters." Huang Haojie explained.

Academician Ma was immediately ecstatic: "If this is the case, it will definitely be even more powerful for our mass projector. We only need the diameter of the vacuum pipe to reach about 30 meters to match the mass projector."

"The Second Institute of Vacuum Engineering is currently developing a thin film with a vacuum pipe diameter of about 200 meters. Considering the size of the space capsule, a vacuum pipe with a diameter of 30 meters can be achieved by adjusting the electromagnetic power."

"200 meters?" Academician Ma was stunned by this data. Are you planning to project all the spacecraft up there?

Other researchers and engineers were also intimidated by their boss's idea.

"That's right, it's 200 meters in diameter. I have initially completed the design of the troposphere and stratosphere. This is the first phase of the plan." Huang Haojie said calmly.

"The first stage? In other words, there is a second stage?" Academician Ma asked.

Huang Junjie nodded: "The second stage is to build a space station from the bottom of the middle layer to near the Karman Line."

Academician Ma frowned and reminded:

"Karman Line Space Station? Mr. Huang, I have to remind you of a question. Although the Karman Line is the aerospace dividing line, the pipeline of man-made celestial bodies is less than 120 kilometers, and the rate of descent will be very fast. If it is near the Karman Line, at most two or three It fell into the atmosphere within a month."

"If it is raised to 120 kilometers, how long can it be supported without power? I am talking about a space station with hundreds of tons or even thousands of tons." Huang Haojie asked.

Academician Ma raised his glasses and made an estimate: "If it is such a large space station, even if it is 120 kilometers away, it can last for about half a year at most before it falls into the atmosphere."

"If we add an engine to the space station, and then start the engine every once in a while to restore the height of the space station, what do you think, Academician Ma?"

After hearing this plan, Academician Ma picked up a tablet computer and started calculating. After a while, he shook his head and explained:

"Engine fuel is a big problem. Although the air at 120 kilometers is very thin, if you want to correct a space station with a thousand tons, a single correction may require 15 to 20 tons of fuel and oxidizer, and the correction frequency may require every 20 to 25 tons. God corrects it once."

"That means we need to store a batch of fuel up there."

Academician Ma nodded: "Reserve at least 30 tons of hydrogen and 240 tons of oxygen, but..." He suddenly stopped when he said this.

By the way, the submetallic hydrogen state can be used to store hydrogen. 30 tons of liquid hydrogen requires 430 cubic meters of space to store, while 30 tons of submetallic hydrogen only requires 60 cubic meters.

By using a mass projector and projecting it into a vacuum pipe, hundreds of tons of material can be transported at a time, so the fuel problem is not big.

Although this is a bit troublesome, in the future, by continuously increasing the height of the space station, as long as it reaches an altitude of about 300 kilometers, the space station can be relatively stable.

"I think this plan is feasible. As long as we continue to increase the height of the space station in the future, reaching about 300 kilometers, it will basically be OK."

"This is the third phase of the plan. We will now complete the mass projector and the troposphere and stratosphere vacuum pipeline system, and then use the cheap projection capability of this system to build a space station, thus forming a virtuous cycle." Huang Haojie pointed to the holographic projection The conceptual model says.

Academician Ma agreed with Huang Haojie’s words:

"That's right, it does need to be done step by step. Our Electromagnetic Ejection Research Institute will finalize the mass projector as soon as possible. However, if it needs to be matched with a vacuum pipeline, our mass projector itself also needs to make a fixed vacuum pipeline."

"Fixed vacuum pipelines are very simple. The rigid vacuum pipelines of the Strait Cross-Sea Bridge can meet this requirement. Building a rigid vacuum pipeline with a height of about 300 meters is not a big problem."

Academician Ma suddenly thought of a question: "If it is a vacuum pipe with a diameter of 200 meters, the one on Caiyu Island is not suitable for use as a space base."

"That's right, this place is indeed not suitable as a space base. I plan to establish a space base in Bazhong City in Shu Province and Kaohsiung City in Dongdao Province." Huang Haojie certainly knew that this base was not suitable as a space base.

When I chose this place before, it was just for temporary use.

"Two space bases?" Academician Ma glanced at Huang Junjie.

He knew that Galaxy Technology was now the actual controller of East Island, and it was estimated that the space base on East Island was used by Galaxy Technology itself.

The space base in Bazhong City is most likely to cooperate with the Dongtang Space Administration.

"Which base does Mr. Huang plan to build first?"

"Two simultaneous constructions. In fact, the location of the base has been prepared. I have previously asked the institute management committee to establish two bases in Bazhong City and Kaohsiung City in the name of the Vacuum Engineering Research Institute. The two bases The standard is based on the space base." Huang Haojie explained with a smile.

"It turns out that Mr. Huang was already prepared."

"By the way, Academician Ma, if you have time, help me contact people in the domestic aerospace system. If the project of the Second Institute of Vacuum Engineering is completed, I plan to start the mass projection system project and enter the preparatory and construction stage in February next year."

As for why Huang Junjie didn't go by himself, firstly, he didn't have time, and secondly, his identity was a bit sensitive now.

Academician Ma thought for a while and agreed. After all, Huang Junjie could take care of them by bringing him into the Dongtang Aerospace System.

With the current technical strength of Galaxy Technology, even without the Dongtang Space System, the mass projection system project can be completed, which may take a longer time at most.

In fact, after Galaxy Technology took control of the East Island, all the aerospace power on the island was taken over by Galaxy Technology. Although these guys are not very good, they can still make do with it for example.

In addition, Galaxy Technology has recruited a large number of aerospace researchers in the mainland.

The situation of Galaxy Technology in aerospace can be summarized as follows: top technology, mid-level personnel, mid-level training, mid-level funding, and high-level environment.

The situation of Dongtang Aerospace System is overall medium to high level.

What Galaxy Technology lacks is a foundation and the accumulation of time, but as time goes by, Galaxy Technology's foundation will become stronger and stronger.

Once the mass projection system project is completed, Galaxy Technology's aerospace power will catch up.
