Genius of the Rules-Style System

"Z-wave detection technology" is a technology used to explore whether space shuttle routes are safe. The purpose of the research is to detect whether there are large-mass obstacles on the route.

This technology can only be used for space exploration, because in a complex environment, such as the earth's surface, with air, mountains, and flowing water, instantaneous detection is meaningless at all.

In addition, if the exploration is not based on light years as the unit distance, there is no need to use such high-end technology.

For example, in the solar system, in the area covered by the eight major stars, there is only the asteroid belt, and the asteroid belt has been thoroughly observed. Stars with greater mass have been discovered long ago. Based on the recorded conditions, we can directly determine whether the waterway is dangerous. .

Therefore, Z-wave detection technology can only be used for long-distance exploration outside the solar system.

When used for exploration outside the solar system, research is associated with spacecraft projects.

Zhao Yi also applied in the name of technology related to the spacecraft project.

In fact, the current spacecraft project team is different from what was originally expected. The project team is under great pressure.

This was not brought about by funding, nor by the complexity of the project, but because the project team found that their project manufacturing speed could not keep up with the development of the latest technology.

At the beginning, the spacecraft manufacturing demonstration only combined several latest technologies, including space shuttle technology, anti-gravity technology and controllable nuclear fusion technology.

When these key technologies are combined, they can be used to build spacecraft that can travel through space.

The initial manufacturing demonstration of the spacecraft was just about manufacturing. The consideration was to let the spacecraft sail within the solar system and fly out of the earth to perform missions to explore the eight planets, rather than actually exploring outside the solar system.

The first spacecraft had great strategic significance. It just orbited the earth. Because it could continue to operate, it could be said to deter space, and it had considerable strategic significance.

In addition, the first spacecraft also has considerable scientific research significance. At the same time, it will accumulate a lot of technical manufacturing experience to open up channels for the subsequent manufacturing of other spacecrafts.

As a result, the spacecraft is still under demonstration, and the situation is different.

The coverage of Z-wave satellites has achieved the strategic purpose, and there is no need to use spacecraft at all.

In terms of scientific research, especially in the field of exploring the inner solar system, Yixing Technology has brought great pressure to the spacecraft project team.

Originally, exploring the solar system was the work of the spacecraft project team. After the spacecraft was built, it could fly to the eight planets.

However, it seems that it is not necessary.

Yixing launched a high-power Z-wave satellite and directly established a space channel from the Earth to Mars, making it possible for ordinary anti-gravity spacecraft to shuttle directly to Mars.

This is just the beginning.

Zhou Hong, the general manager of the spacecraft project team, said with certainty in an internal meeting, "Yixing will definitely continue to build space routes. The next time it may be direct to Pluto, Mercury, or even Callisto, they will A series of explorations have been conducted on the stars in the solar system.”

"Callista makes a lot of sense because of its environment, where water might exist."

"Mercury will become a transit station leading to the sun. Yixing continues to launch energy-gathering satellites and always needs a regulated transit station. Maybe Mercury will become their base."

"Pluto will become their outpost for exploring the outer reaches of the solar system!"

Zhou Hong's analysis made the people participating in the meeting nod frequently. They are all members of the project team and national strategic talents. At the same time, they are also very much looking forward to completing the spacecraft project so that the spacecraft can show its capabilities and truly explore the universe in the future.

However, what depresses them is that there is no end in sight for the completion of spacecraft manufacturing, and the entire solar system is almost complete.

So what’s the point of a spaceship?

Of course.

Spacecraft can realize exploration outside the solar system, but it will also greatly increase the difficulty of their projects.

The current situation is that once a spacecraft is manufactured, it will become a big waste if it cannot get out of the solar system.

Therefore, the spacecraft must be pushed out of the solar system. But how difficult is it to get out of the solar system? This is completely different from the concept of exploration within the solar system. What kind of technology is needed must be constantly demonstrated and thought about.

When exploring the solar system, we know at least what stars there are.

It's different outside the solar system. Just talking about the distance is very scary.

Outside the eight major planets in the solar system is the Kuiper Belt. The Kuiper Belt is located outside Pluto and is the birthplace of short-period comets. In recent years, the Kuiper Belt has only come into the sight of astronomers. There are many asteroid bodies concentrated in the area, among which Pluto is A typical Kuiper Belt star, located at the edge of the Kuiper Belt.

Taking the Kuiper Belt as a benchmark, the radius of the solar system is as high as 100 astronomical units (about 15 billion kilometers).

Outside the Kuiper Belt is the Oort Cloud. The Oort Cloud only exists in predictions, but the possibility of its existence is very high.

The Oort cloud is the birthplace of long-period comets. It is a spherical cloud surrounding the solar system and filled with many inactive comets. It is about 50,000 to 100,000 astronomical units from the sun, and its maximum radius is close to one light-year. .

Astronomers believe that the Oort cloud is the remnant of the nebula that formed the sun and its planets five billion years ago and surrounds the solar system.

The radius of the Oort cloud is nearly a quarter of that of Proxima Centauri.

If you are exploring outside the solar system, you must at least head towards the Proxima Centauri galaxy. Proxima Centauri, the closest star to the solar system, is the third star of the Alpha Centauri system, and its distance from the sun is approximately 4.2 light-years.

Alpha Centauri is also very close to the sun, only 0.1 light-year farther than Proxima Centauri. It is another star in Alpha Centauri, and it also has a rather peculiar red circle.

Whether it is Proxima Centauri or Alpha Centauri, the distance from the solar system is measured in light years. Even if you have space shuttle technology and travel such a long distance, it is very difficult to know what will happen, what you will see, or what problems you will encounter. It is difficult to predict directly, and the spacecraft project team must study related technologies in advance during the process of manufacturing the spacecraft.

This is the biggest difficulty.

When the exploration mission of the spacecraft is expanded to explore outside the solar system, the project team feels that the work of manufacturing the spacecraft will become even more difficult to complete.

Fortunately, the project team is not without results.

The biggest achievement of the project team came from the nuclear fusion research and development team, which overcame many difficulties and successfully manufactured the second nuclear fusion device.

This nuclear fusion device only needs to replace the fuel once every two years, and the output unit can provide a stable power of 4.3 million kilowatt-hours.

The power of 4.3 million kilowatt hours is already quite high.

The power of a single large-scale unit in a general power plant is only one million kilowatts. As for nuclear power units, the output power of the country's first nuclear power plant is only 3.1 million kilowatt-hours.

4.3 million kilowatt-hours is a very impressive figure, enough to support a spacecraft, activate high-power Z waves, and quickly complete space shuttle.

Of course.

The manufacturing of the second nuclear fusion device also consumes a huge amount of money. The direct cost is as high as 69 billion yuan, which is more valuable than a large aircraft carrier.

In addition, after the device was manufactured, it was wider than expected. When used to build a spacecraft, it would also add an extra layer to the outer layer of the spacecraft, and other locations would also need to be expanded accordingly.

These are all questions.

Fortunately, the problem of project funding is not a problem, because the spacecraft project involves more than a dozen major countries. China is responsible for the overall design and supervision, and the funds invested are only spent on a few core components.

Nuclear fusion device, also known as power device, is one of them.

This part of the cost is invested domestically. The huge capital investment comes from directly allocated project funds, and most of the funds come from high-tech income.

For example, anti-gravity technology.

The sale of anti-gravity technology and devices has brought in huge amounts of income far and wide.

In addition, space information technology companies also have continuous large profits.

Only by putting the two together can we support the spacecraft project team, conduct research and development of core components, and continue to support the project.

At this time, Zhou Hong was sitting in the office, reviewing the submitted documents.

The spacecraft project is so huge that there are at least hundreds of R\u0026D and manufacturing documents that need to be processed every day.

Zhou Hong leaves the responsibility for ordinary application and reporting contents to the leader of the relevant group, but he must be responsible for some of it himself.

For example, this project research and development application is in hand.

"The application made by Academician Zhao?"

Because it was Zhao Yi who made the application, it was handed directly to Zhou Hong. He even wanted to approve it directly. What was there to see in Academician Zhao's application? You must agree first before talking.

When he saw the funding applied for, Zhou Hong still hesitated. The initial funding was 2 billion, which was too huge.

He looked carefully.

The title of the project is somewhat unremarkable, "Z-wave detection technology? Does detection technology require so much money for research and development? Two billion is enough to manufacture several large-scale Z-wave generators."

Zhou Hong continued to read and found out what Z-wave detection technology is.

"Instantly detect Z-wave coverage, are there any massive obstacles?"

"This is a timely rain!"

The spacecraft project team has been worried about how to avoid ultra-long-distance exploration and dangerous problems in space shuttle.

Theoretically speaking, it is possible for accidents to occur during space travel measured in light years. It is not an accident caused by directly loading a very large star, but the worry of encountering a small star, such as one weighing tens or hundreds of tons. Small stars are the most dangerous.

The presence of supermassive stars on the Z-wave coverage route will directly affect the Z-wave compression ratio, making it impossible for the spacecraft to complete long-distance shuttles.

For example, the planets in the solar system.

If the Z wave directly hits Mars, the Earth, etc., there will be no ultra-high-magnification compression at all, and the space shuttle will not be successful at all, and the danger will naturally be directly avoided.

Asteroids are different, because their mass is limited, which will also greatly affect the compression ratio, but it is not to the extent that the shuttle fails. Instead, it will cause the spacecraft to perform a certain shuttle, and the shuttle distance is not as far as expected. However, there is a certain probability that it will directly hit an asteroid on the way.

The purpose of the "Z-Wave Detection Technology" that Zhao Yi is applying for now is to detect whether there is an asteroid blocking the shuttle route, which is equivalent to directly helping the spacecraft project and solving a big problem that has always been troublesome.

"approved!"

"Straight through!"

"If this technology can be developed, all the major problems of the project will be solved!"

Zhou Hong thought so, but he couldn't do it on his own. To approve the initial 2 billion project, he held a symbolic meeting and linked Zhao Yi via video to let Zhao Yi give relevant research and development explanations.

Zhao Yi gave a brief explanation on the necessity of Z-wave exploration technology and the importance of realizing space exploration. The project team approved the application and the application was handed over to senior leaders.

The senior leaders did not hesitate at all. They even only asked about the content before directly approving it.

——

Most of the initial two billion yuan that Zhao Yi applied for will be used to build laboratories and manufacture sophisticated Z-wave generators.

A newly established laboratory requires a lot of precision instruments, some of which even need to be customized and manufactured, which will definitely cost a lot of money.

In addition, research also requires auxiliary manpower. Experts in microphysics, optics, electronics and other fields are indispensable.

After Zhao Yi applied for the project, the Optical Laboratory, Department of Physics, Institute of High Energy and other departments of the Academy of Sciences directly dispatched the needed personnel. There were three academicians, four researchers, and one associate researcher.

Zhao Yi also hired someone from the theory team as an assistant to be responsible for some calculation work.

He quickly ordered a high-precision small Z-wave generating device and more than a dozen high-precision electronic detection devices.

In addition, equipment to establish a vacuum environment is also essential.

After completing a series of orders, many people came to the laboratory, and Zhao Yi called everyone for a meeting.

This is an early stage meeting.

"Although most of the equipment has not arrived yet, our research has already begun."

Zhao Yi said, "The first thing to do in this research is to analyze various constrainable particle beams to see whether the behavior changes of the particle beams can be quickly tested through experimental means."

"What we need to do now is theoretical research, come up with some feasible solutions, and lay the foundation for real research!"

What the research is doing is to design a solution for detecting changes in the behavior of particle beams.

Of course, we must first design various particle beam generation schemes and impose range constraints on the particle beam.

Among them, the most intuitive and feasible solution is to confine the charged particle beam.

The charged particle beam only needs to be restrained by a magnetic field. After being emitted, it will continue to circle under the influence of the magnetic field and can be controlled and detected.

However, charged particle beams are only one solution.

In fact, Zhao Yi does not have high hopes for the charged particle beam detection scheme, because the behavior detection of charged particle beams will be seriously affected by current and magnetic fields.

In other words, it is easy to confine a charged particle beam, but too difficult to detect.

He hopes to study whether energy beams will be affected in a space compression environment.

For example, the most basic beam.

Theoretically speaking, energy will not be affected by space compression, but the theory he studied may not be completely correct.

In addition, it is not necessarily correct to say that the beam is pure energy and is completely unaffected.

For example, the most direct counterexample is that the light beam will be affected by super gravity to produce observable gravitational waves.

The emergence of gravitational waves is directly related to space and time.

Spacetime is time and space.

The bending of light beams will be affected by space and time, and space compression is not necessarily affected. It only affects space, and may also affect time.

In the field of time, he did not conduct in-depth research.

Now it’s time to study and think about it in depth.
