Galaxy Technology Empire

After receiving a five-year funding of US$60 billion, Maxwell and NASA quickly held a press conference.

They must use a strong attitude to respond to Dongtang Space Agency and Galaxy Technology.

"...We will restart Saturn V, build Saturn VII and a new space shuttle, and plan to land humans on Mars in 2030 and establish a Mars colony."

Looking at the NASA press conference being broadcast live around the world on the holographic projection screen, Huang Junjie glanced at it and stopped paying attention.

The cost-effectiveness of launch vehicles or space shuttles is too low. If you want to develop space on a large scale, you cannot reduce the unit cost.

If you want to work hard to create a miracle, you will only end up dead.

After all, if economic benefits cannot be generated during space development and the space industry cannot generate its own resources, the result will be a dismal end.

Why did Lao Mao Xiong’s economy collapse? That’s because he lost his money.

Huang Haojie and the space agency are happy to see NASA's follow-up. I believe that when the mass projector is put into use, NASA and Milijia will be even more stimulated.

By then, MiLijia and NASA will have to invest more heavily to catch up.

Because once Dongtang and Galaxy Technology establish a colony in outer space, the consequences will be disastrous.

Why do you say that?

Just think about the current blue star structure and you will know that the mushroom equilibrium state is only suitable for internal deterrence of the planet, but it is difficult to threaten the moon and Mars.

With a moon or Mars colony, it is equivalent to having a way out. Even if someone grows mushrooms on a large scale on the Blue Star, it will be a big deal.

Forces without interstellar navigation capabilities can only perish from radiation, disease, and famine.

So in order to rebalance, they have to follow up on aerospace. Of course, if they choose to give in and come to Dongtang and Galaxy Technology to cooperate, that is also a way out.

In fact, there is another way, which is to act like a gangster and directly steal a mass projector.

As Galaxy Technology, which started the space race and scientific research competition, of course we are aware of the possibility of jumping over the wall in a hurry.

In order to cope with conflicts that may break out in the future, preparations for some things are essential and cannot be delayed.

…

Huang Junjie is currently in the Materials Research Institute of Galaxy Technology.

"How is it? Where is the development progress of oxygen curing agent?"

Li wanted to click on a report and show it to him.

Looking through the holographic projection report, he saw the situation of solid oxygen.

"Currently it can only last for 8 to 9 minutes, and the ambient temperature cannot exceed 14 degrees Celsius. It has superconducting properties! What is this superconducting property?" Huang Haojie suddenly became interested when he saw this description.

Li Xiang explained: "In fact, both metallic hydrogen and metallic oxygen have room-temperature superconducting properties, but the submetallic hydrogen we produced through the curing agent has lost its superconducting properties, but this submetallic oxygen can retain superconducting properties. characteristic."

"Perhaps this is a cheap way to produce room-temperature superconductors!" Huang Haojie said thoughtfully.

Li Xiang nodded: "I am studying this direction."

The two came to a laboratory.

In a liquid nitrogen freezer, Li Xiang put on protective gloves and took out a small box from inside.

"Here is one of the sub-metallic oxygens we made, which can only be stored below minus 53 degrees Celsius. Once the temperature exceeds minus 53 degrees Celsius, the sub-metallic oxygen will be unstable, and when the temperature exceeds 14 degrees Celsius, it will completely decompose. "

Huang Junjie also put on protective clothing. Through the transparent observation window of the small box, he saw a small piece of dark red solid with a metallic luster inside the small box.

"The properties of the submetallic oxygen we produced are very similar to those of solid O8 red oxygen."

Solid oxygen O8 is composed of eight oxygen atoms. It is one of the allotropes of oxygen. Because it appears dark red, it is also called red oxygen.

Huang Junjie clicked on the holographic projection and checked the curing agent status of the Materials Research Institute.

I discovered that Li Xiang and the others had developed six similar curing agents based on hydrogen curing agents, and the red submetallic oxygen was the effect of one of the curing agents.

As for the light blue submetallic oxygen that shows superconducting properties, Li Xiang and the others call it superconducting submetallic oxygen, while the dark red submetallic oxygen is called submetallic oxygen.

Li Xiang took out another small box from the freezer. He glanced over and saw that the observation window was filled with light blue.

"This is superconducting submetallic oxygen. It is more unstable than dark red submetallic oxygen. It must be maintained below minus 87 degrees Celsius to maintain stability. If the temperature exceeds minus 87 degrees Celsius, it will quickly decompose."

After hearing this explanation, Huang Junjie put aside the small box of dark red sub-metallic oxygen and carefully observed the light blue superconducting sub-metallic oxygen.

"The two kinds of sub-metallic oxygen should no longer need to be stored under high pressure!"

"Well! We have got rid of the high-pressure storage conditions and can now use low temperature for storage, but it is still uneconomical." Li Xiang said still dissatisfied.

Huang Junjie did not speak, but continued to open the experimental report of the Institute of Materials with a smile.

Experimental reports and research results were all there, and he was thinking while reading them.

The instability of dark red metallic oxygen is caused by the instability of chemical bonds, which seems to be a natural defect.

Li thought that even if they added other stabilizers, it would still be difficult to suppress the breakage of chemical bonds. They could only suppress the breakage of chemical bonds by reducing molecular motion through low temperature.

The reason why low temperature can form a solid state is because low temperature suppresses the movement of atoms and molecules.

From the perspective of thermodynamics, the temperature we usually recognize is actually a manifestation of the movement of atoms or molecules. The faster the atoms or molecules move, the higher the temperature; and the slower the atoms and molecules move, the lower the temperature.

Conversely, the higher the temperature, the more intense the movement of atoms and molecules; the lower the temperature, the gentler the movement of atoms and molecules.

It took Huang Junjie more than an hour to roughly read through the experimental report on submetallic oxygen from the Institute of Materials Research.

He found a problem, or a breakthrough.

"Li Xiang, why don't you try using high pressure to experiment?"

"high pressure?"

Li Xiang was suddenly stunned.

"Yes! Why didn't I think that the Harvard University laboratory produced metallic hydrogen through high-pressure method? Perhaps sub-metallic oxygen can be suppressed through high pressure into a state that can be stored at normal temperature and pressure."

After Li Xiang was awakened by Huang Junjie, he walked around excitedly and muttered to himself. After a while, he woke up.

"How? This idea is feasible!" Huang Haojie patted Li Xiang on the shoulder and said.

"I don't know if it's feasible or not. I'll prepare the experiment right away."

"Let's go together!"

Li Xiang arranged the relevant experimental equipment and hurriedly called on his assistants and researchers to start the experiment.

In the laboratory, a piece of dark red submetallic oxygen was taken out from the liquid nitrogen freezing chamber and placed into a low-temperature and high-pressure equipment.

After taking safety measures, Li Xiang urgently ordered:

"Start with minimal pressure."

The equipment used in the materials laboratory is a machine similar to a large forging press.

Waves of tooth-aching sizzling sounds sounded in the laboratory.

After a while, the assistant took out the experimental samples from the equipment to check the assay.
