Genius of the Rules-Style System

The experts around senior leaders are still very capable.

They conducted a series of studies on the space shuttle experiment, and also participated in the demonstration of the design of the spacecraft. They conducted detailed research and discussions on the energy consumption of space shuttle, and concluded that a small spacecraft does not have a large energy power system. , the conclusion that space shuttle cannot be carried out.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration conducted a space shuttle experiment. From this wave generator to the small spacecraft, most of them were designed by Zhao Yi.

Then the energy consumption of the experimental process is also of great reference value.

The small spacecraft at that time could only open the anti-energy barrier and shuttle to the moon with the assistance of the Z-wave generator installed on the space station.

Then, there is no coming back.

Because there is no energy support, the anti-gravity device is directly abandoned.

Therefore, it is simply impractical to install a Z-wave generator on a small spacecraft.

If you build a very large spaceship, most of the space will be used to load energy, which will consume a lot of costs. Large spaceships are of high quality, and their energy consumption will also increase relatively. Not to mention the high cost, they may not be able to complete the mission.

In short, without the support of a large energy device, it is almost impossible for a spacecraft to use the Z-wave generator alone and then turn on the anti-energy barrier to complete space shuttle.

Of course, Zhao Yi also knew that it was impossible to create a small spacecraft using a Z-wave device.

He had carefully calculated before that it was simply impossible to achieve, otherwise a small spaceship could complete it, and he would not consider building a large spaceship.

Now I'm applying to my superiors to use Z-wave generation technology. In fact, I don't want to install this wave generator on a small spacecraft, but I plan to directly generate a Z-wave that stays in space for a long time like the generator on the space station. satellite occurs.

With the assistance of Z-wave generating satellites, small spacecraft can shuttle to Mars.

Considering that a small spacecraft needs to make a round trip, it is necessary to launch a similar Z-wave generating satellite in orbit around Mars.

With two Z-wave generating satellites, one orbiting the Earth and the other orbiting Mars, both can release Z-waves to assist small spacecrafts in completing their shuttles.

This is equivalent to establishing a channel from the earth to Mars.

Zhao Yi believes that the idea of ​​building a waterway is very likely to be realized. There are already Z-wave generating satellites that use solar energy to charge.

The Z-wave generating satellites needed now are just more powerful.

"Built a bigger one?"

When doing in-depth calculations and thinking, Zhao Yi discovered a very big technical problem. He needed to build a larger Z-wave generating satellite, but found that the power needed to be achieved was too high.

Zhao Yi began to calculate carefully.

The power of ordinary satellites generated in this wave is only about one-seventh of that of satellites generated in the space list. The power difference is still very big.

If a compressed space channel is built to reach Mars, the Z-wave generation power must be increased by at least eight times.

The difference between seven times and eight times does not seem to be very big. Compared with the difference between the distance between the earth and the moon and the distance between the earth and the fire, it can be said to be negligible, but energy consumption is not calculated in this way.

In fact, the distance and ratio of space compression have a very small relationship with distance. If there is nothing in space, not even tiny particles, then there is no difference between traveling 100 million kilometers and 10,000 kilometers.

It can be understood this way: an object that is not subject to any external force moves at a constant speed on a plane. There is no difference between walking one kilometer and walking ten kilometers under inertia, because it does not consume any energy at all because of walking. .

The same goes for space compression.

Because the Z wave itself does not react with space, most of the energy of particles that react directly will be absorbed by the particles.

Without any particles, the compression distance and ratio are infinite.

"But eight times is still too high!"

The data calculated by Zhao Yi is that by relying only on solar energy, a Z-wave generating satellite with twice the power can be produced at most.

The principle of Z-wave is to use space to squeeze particles to create a strong magnetic field. When the magnetic field reaches a critical value, it instantly releases energy and then converts it into Z-wave.

The principle of the Z-wave generating satellite is to use solar energy to continuously charge the magnetic field and maintain the magnetic field. Maintaining the magnetic field requires energy consumption. When the energy consumption and charging reach a balance, it is equivalent to the completion of charging. .

At this time, when the device that maintains the magnetic field is turned off, the magnetic field will burst out with energy and release Z waves in a fixed direction.

The key to everything is charging power.

It can be said that the Z-wave generating satellite is perfectly designed based on the existing technology.

No matter how much Zhao Yi wanted to improve it, he couldn't do it. What he couldn't do was increase the size and number of solar panels, which would directly and effectively increase the power.

However, one problem is that maintaining the magnetic field inside the Z-wave generating satellite consumes a lot of energy. The higher the magnetic field intensity, the greater the energy consumption. Moreover, energy consumption and magnetic field intensity are not simply proportional. It can be understood as , the higher the magnetic field intensity, the energy consumption will increase exponentially.

"The Z-wave power is eight times higher, the magnetic field intensity is about four and two times higher, and the maintenance energy consumption is high——"

"More than thirteen times!"

"In other words, more than thirteen times more solar panels must be added to barely be able to generate Z-waves with sufficient overpower."

"This number is too high!"

Zhao Yi kept shaking his head as he looked at the numbers. The design of the Z-wave generating satellite was good enough. It was surrounded by solar panels, which could be said to maximize the efficiency of absorbing solar energy.

If it is to double the quantity, it is barely possible, but to increase it more than thirteen times is almost impossible.

By then, Z-wave satellites will be as big as the space station, or even larger than the space station.

In addition, as the size and mass of satellites increase, energy consumption such as internal circuits and magnetic field requirements will also increase.

The final designed Z-wave satellite will definitely be larger than the space station, and the cost will be very scary.

This is no longer feasible.

Another problem is that charging time is also an issue. It takes several months for Z-wave satellites to be charged.

If a real waterway is established, it will take several months to complete the charging process and allow a small spacecraft to pass through. The efficiency is really low.

Of course, just consider doing an experiment and time is no longer an issue.

Zhao Yi wanted to make it more perfect, rather than making something useless that could only be tested once.

After all, Yixing Technology is a formal enterprise, not an institution that specializes in experiments. It still has to consider the cost issue. Any experimental research must consider the cost, so the power issue must still be solved.

Zhao Yi thought carefully and knew that he should start from the energy perspective.

A nuclear fusion device is impossible.

The conversion rate of fossil energy is too low and the transportation cost is too high, making it also unfeasible.

"Solar energy is the only option." Zhao Yi came to a firm conclusion.

Zhao Yi still has a certain understanding of solar panel technology. When designing the Z-wave generating satellite, he almost knew everything.

Currently, monocrystalline silicon panels are used on satellites, which are also the most efficient solar panels, with an energy conversion rate of more than 20%.

"If it's compressed monocrystalline silicon -"

Zhao Yi immediately made several calls in succession and contacted the Z-wave material experimental team, as well as the space agency and related laboratories, and got an accurate answer.

The Z-wave material experimental group has already carried out compression of single crystal silicon.

Monocrystalline silicon material compressed five times is used to manufacture solar panels. The corresponding experimental conclusion is that the solar energy conversion rate of panels made of compressed monocrystalline silicon exceeds 40%.

This is an astonishing number.

At present, the energy conversion rate of solar panels with the highest technical level in the world is only about 25%.

The energy conversion rate is a difficult number to improve, because part of the energy will be lost during any reaction.

The solar panel itself is enough to lose more than half of the energy by reflecting the sun's rays.

The energy conversion rate of battery panels made of compressed monocrystalline silicon materials can exceed 40%, which can be said to have reached the theoretical limit.

"The solar energy conversion rate has nearly doubled. To achieve more than thirteen times the power, at least seven times more panels are needed."

"It's still impossible."

Zhao Yi sighed and shook his head. He redesigned the Z-wave generating satellite and found that the maximum number of panels could only be increased by 50%, which was still too far behind the demand.

In addition, charging efficiency is also a big problem. It is meaningless to design it reluctantly and only use it once every few months or even a year.

"If we consider the practical value, the power must be increased by at least twenty times!"

"This data barely supports it. It can be recharged once every half a month."

Zhao Yi thought.

The speed of charging is also not directly proportional to the power, because while charging, it is necessary to maintain a strong internal magnetic field, which consumes a lot of energy, but the internal energy consumption is fixed.

If the energy conversion efficiency is very high, the extra part can be used for charging, and the charging speed will be greatly accelerated.

But, twenty times more whimsical!

Even if the solar panels have the ideal energy conversion rate of 100%, it is completely insufficient and can be described as a drop in the bucket.

“It’s not practical to solve the problem from the perspective of solar panel power.”

Zhao Yi came to a conclusion.

At this time, the research seemed to have reached a dead end, because the solar energy in the same area is fixed, and even if it is all converted into electrical energy, it is simply not enough to maintain the Z-wave generating satellites that establish the navigation channel.

Zhao Yi found that it could not be solved.

He thought about it again and again and still didn't know how to solve the problem.

Solar energy, this is also a dead end!

However, solar energy is the only option unless he can find other sustainable energy sources in space. The latter is much more difficult than the former.

The former is a dead end for the time being.

the latter--

Looking for new space energy sources? For the time being, I can only imagine it.

When Zhao Yi fell into deep thought, Zhang Qican knocked on the door and walked in. He was holding a compiled document in his hand, which was the research report of the theoretical team.

Zhao Yi took it and asked, "Brother Zhang, can you help me think about how to use limited solar energy to convert it into more electrical energy?"

"——?"

Zhang Qican was stunned for a moment, thought carefully for a long time, and then made a suggestion, "Use some kind of substance that reacts with solar energy and bursts out energy?"

"That won't work."

Zhao Yi shook his head and rejected the idea, "The conversion of thermal energy into electrical energy is too inefficient, unfeasible, and unsustainable."

Solar cell technology is very efficient because the electrons inside the silicon material become active when exposed to solar energy, which directly converts solar energy into electrical energy.

If it is a reaction between fossil raw materials and sunlight, it must be converted into heat first, and then the heat is converted into kinetic energy, and then electrical energy is produced. The conversion rate will be greatly reduced, reaching 5%, which is a very remarkable number, and then considering the fossil energy , it needs to be transported to the satellite, the technical difficulty and cost will become very high, and it is simply not feasible.

Zhang Qican thought again and said with a wry smile, "Academician Zhao, your question is equivalent to 'how to make a water tank of a fixed size pour out more water'? How is it possible? I can't figure it out anyway."

Zhao Yi touched his chin and thought about Zhang Qican's metaphor, and found that it was really vivid.

Fixed water tank pours more water?

He mused, "Maybe you could compress the water?"

Zhang Qican was stunned. He didn't expect that he would be refuted, and what he said made sense. He smiled bitterly and said, "Well, it is true that liquid compression can indeed make the water tank hold more, but the physical properties have also changed. ! But that’s not what we’re talking about.”

Zhao Yi also found that the topic had gone astray.

Now it's a matter of solar energy and energy conversion. They can't compress solar energy.

Zhang Qican thought about it again and said, "Otherwise, brainstorm ideas and find more people to ask."

"Right."

As the saying goes, ‘Three cobblers are worth one Zhuge Liang’.

Now Zhao Yi finds that he has no inspiration at all. The road to solar energy has come to an end, and there is no other way. Ask other people, maybe he can get other inspiration?

That afternoon, he simply went to the team leaders of the technical department and held a small meeting together to talk about the problems he encountered.

The heads of each R\u0026D team looked at each other in shock. They were also surprised that Zhao Yi had problems and asked them to help solve it.

result?

How to use limited solar energy to create more energy?

Isn't this whimsical!

Of course.

The problems Zhao Yi encountered cannot be simply summarized in this sentence, but they are essentially the same, because fossil energy, nuclear energy, etc. cannot be used, and the only sustainable energy in space seems to be solar energy. .

In order to find inspiration to solve the problem, Zhao Yi simply set up a bonus. "No matter who can bring me inspiration to solve this problem, I will make the decision and directly issue a cash reward of 200,000 yuan."

The high bonus immediately made people full of motivation.

Zhao Yi is not talking about 'solving the problem', but 'the inspiration to solve the problem'. It is too difficult to solve the problem, but only the inspiration to solve the problem is needed?

Maybe if you try your luck, you can tell where the inspiration lies?
