Galaxy Technology Empire

Ten o'clock on January 6, 2019.

In the large conference room of the Galaxy Technology 2017 Building, small groups of researchers were having an animated conversation when suddenly they were interrupted by the sound of a microphone.

Wang Tu, the head of the Vacuum Engineering Research Institute, acted as the temporary host. He patted the microphone:

"Bang! Bump! Please return to your seats, the meeting will begin immediately!"

After a while, everyone took their seats, and Huang Haojie also came to the podium.

Huang Junjie looked around at everyone and said slowly:

"I am convening everyone during my busy schedule, mainly because the mass projection system project has entered the practical stage. Now you can click on the holographic projection on the table. The overall design plan of the mass projection system inside is already the next issue."

Everyone below quickly clicked on the holographic display, and a thumbnail model appeared in front of them.

"The mass projection system project will be divided into the mass projector part, the vacuum pipeline part, the annular airship part, the supercomputing center part, the power storage station part, the bottom atmosphere monitoring part, and the projection spacecraft part." Huang Haojie continued.

As soon as he finished speaking, the logos of each part appeared in the thumbnail model in front of everyone.

Li Zhongting clicked on the vacuum pipe part, and the vacuum pipe part was immediately enlarged, with some detailed information displayed on the side.

[Vacuum pipeline part: cable state diameter 8 cm, vacuum excitation state diameter 96 meters; troposphere section (length 12 kilometers), stratosphere section 1 (length 12 kilometers), stratosphere section 2 (length 12 kilometers), stratosphere section 3... …Four stratospheric sections with a total length of 60 kilometers…The weight of the 12-kilometer-long cable is approximately 48.32 tons. ]

[The magnetic vacuum film composite carbon nanotube cable costs about 40,000 yuan per meter, and the total cost of the 60-kilometer length is about 2.4 billion yuan. ]

[The vacuum pipeline is equipped with two superconducting high-voltage cables with a diameter of 1.8 cm. A single 12-kilometer cable weighs about 4 tons, and two 60-kilometer cables weigh about 40 tons. The normal temperature superconductor content is 95%...]

Li Zhongting immediately calculated that the price of Galaxy Technology's normal temperature superconductor is 50 million yuan per ton, and 40 tons is about 2 billion yuan. In addition, the cable must be made of high-strength carbon nanotube composite. It is estimated that the cost of two high-voltage cables is About 3 billion Chinese yuan.

There are other things in the vacuum pipeline. It is estimated that the total cost of the 60 kilometers of vacuum pipelines should be around 6 billion yuan.

Of course, taking into account the sharing of R\u0026D costs and construction costs, as well as profits, the price is at least around 20 billion yuan.

On the stage, Huang Haojie continued to introduce the situation of each part:

"In the entire system, the remaining problems are the interference of the vacuum pipeline by atmospheric movement, the design problem of the projection spacecraft, and the overload problem of the astronaut human body. These three major problems require the full support of the space agency. I wonder if Mr. Zhao has any problems?"

Hearing Huang Haojie's question, Zhao Hongxing nodded: "The space agency will do its best to work with Galaxy Technology to overcome the problems."

"That's good. After the projection spacecraft enters outer space, we want to use the Beidou system and the space agency's outer space database." Huang Haojie continued.

"No problem!" Zhao Hongxing quickly confirmed.

Huang Haojie and everyone continued to discuss some matters. Whether they were researchers from Galaxy Technology or the experts from the space agency, they all expressed their opinions and thoughts.

"Mr. Huang, I have a question!" Wang Guanghai stood up and asked.

"Academician Wang, you're welcome. Just sit down and talk."

"How to solve the problem of the exit of the vacuum pipeline? If it is completely sealed, how can the projection spacecraft get out? If it is not sealed, air will be poured in very quickly." Wang Guanghai sat down and asked.

Huang Haojie explained: "I have also thought about several solutions to this problem. The first is to seal the warehouse door and wait until the projection spacecraft is about to arrive. Open the door. Of course, this method is not perfect. The strong atmospheric pressure may instantly If the warehouse door is too thick, the load capacity of the ring-shaped airship must be considered."

Wang Guanghai nodded: "The warehouse door plan is not very practical. Even if the warehouse door can withstand atmospheric pressure, timing is definitely a problem. One second may cause the ship to be destroyed and people to die."

"The second option is a disposable magnetic vacuum film. Cover the exit at 60 kilometers with a magnetic vacuum film. This magnetic vacuum film needs to weaken the frontal stress, just like a balloon that bursts with one puncture, allowing the projection spacecraft to Penetrating the membrane.”

When everyone present heard this plan, they began to discuss it among themselves.

Disposable film? Wang Guanghai bit his pen and thought.

"This is no problem!" Li Xiang from the Institute of Materials stood up and said:

"Because the film is in a vacuum excited state, the side facing the atmosphere is under tremendous pressure. As long as it is pricked with a sharp needle, the entire film structure will cause a chain reaction and collapse."

After listening to Li Xiang's explanation, everyone thought about it and nodded in agreement.

"If this is the case, wouldn't it be very dangerous if a bird or the like hits the vacuum pipe?" Wang Guanghai asked another question.

Huang Haojie explained with a smile:

"This is indeed a possibility! But don't worry too much. The first vacuum pipe is in an excited state, and those currents will frighten the birds. The potential energy of the second bird in flight is not enough to break down the vacuum pipe. After all, the two sides are not involved. Relative motion.”

Wang Guanghai nodded: "I suggest adding some sonic equipment to repel birds. After all, at the moment when the vacuum pipe is activated, if a bird happens to fly over, there may be relative motion. It is better to take precautions."

"Academician Wang makes sense. Then install some acoustic equipment near the vacuum pipes on the bottom floor to repel birds." Huang Junjie adopted this opinion.

Li Zhongting also stood up and said:

"I saw that the diameter of the vacuum pipe in the cable state is 8 centimeters. In this state, atmospheric interference factors can be ignored; but in the excited state, the diameter and height are 96 meters. We want to come up with a more reasonable solution, otherwise it will Big trouble."

"Choosing suitable weather can reduce certain disturbances." Wang Guanghai suggested.

Huang Haojie shook his head: "This plan won't work. In our plan, the mass projection system will run for a long time. It can't be like getting married and waiting for the day!"

"Haha..." Everyone laughed immediately.

The serious atmosphere was diluted by laughter, and it took a while for everyone to continue discussing the issue.

"Boss, why not add more or increase the weight of the airship at an altitude of 12 kilometers in the troposphere? After all, the area with the most serious interference from atmospheric movement is the troposphere." Wang Tu, the head of the Vacuum Engineering Research Institute, suggested.

Huang Haojie thought for a while: "This can be considered. Increasing the number of ring-shaped airships should have the effect of a wind damper, but the specific number of ring-shaped airships needed to be added is subject to discussion."

"The Aerodynamics Research Institute of our space agency may be able to help!" Zhao Hongxing interjected.

Since the space agency was willing to take charge of this issue, Huang Haojie couldn't help but agreed immediately:

"Then this problem will be jointly tackled by the Aerodynamics Research Institute of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the Atmospheric Movement Research Institute of Galaxy Technology."

"We will arrange this matter immediately after we return." Zhao Hongxing said while taking notes.

All issues were discussed, and many problems were solved through collective efforts.

Although I don’t know if the plan will work, having a direction is better than running around like a headless fly.
