Genius of the Rules-Style System

This was the first time that Zhao Yi encountered a situation where he was able to carry out experiments but was worried about a major accident caused by an accident.

This is not just a major accident. Thinking deeply, it may even harm the entire earth.

It is an experiment that no one dares to do on earth. Just thinking about it makes me feel very scary, and at the same time, I feel very depressed. Others feel the same way.

As a scientist engaged in theoretical physics research, when a new theory emerges, it can be directly verified by experiments. However, it turns out that the experiment may be very dangerous and cannot be verified immediately, which is the most depressing thing.

This kind of time is definitely not possible on Earth. Fortunately, space exploration technology is developing rapidly, and other methods can be found.

Zhang Qican was the first to say, "Can it be done on the moon? It should be relatively safe on the moon, right? We are planning a lunar base and have also built a transport ship that can transport relevant equipment directly to the moon. It’s time to experiment.”

"How long will it take?" Qiu Chengwen asked with interest.

Zhang Qican thought for a moment and said, "If the speed is fast, two or three months will be enough, right? Of course, the premise is to give priority to experiments."

Edward Witten was surprised, "Is it so fast? Your transport ship has been built? I have paid attention to this matter. It seems that it is said that a lunar base vehicle will be sent first, right?"

"That's right."

Zhang Qican nodded.

Zhao Yi shook his head and said, "The moon may not be safe either."

The others were silent after hearing this.

This is the truth.

If there is any big movement on the moon, it will definitely have an impact on the earth.

This may become an experiment that threatens the earth and mankind. Even if there is only a slight possibility, we must be cautious and cautious.

Zhao Yidao said, "But there are still methods. In fact, you don't have to think too complicated. If the requirements are not high, it is just a small experiment."

"All we need are anti-energy barriers, Z-wave generators, and space link equipment."

"If you are doing experiments on the ground, one day of preparation is enough, and it doesn't cost much."

"If we want to ensure safety, then what we need is a spaceship that can activate the anti-energy barrier, so that the spacecraft can be as far away from the earth as possible, and then we can start the experiment."

"Our requirements for the experiment are not high, we are just doing a simple verification, so whether it is a Z-wave generator or a space link device, we can use the simplest one."

The others nodded thoughtfully, with expectant looks in their eyes.

Edward Witten asked, "So, what about the spaceship? I know that Yixing has a spaceship, but I don't know about the rest."

"The space agency has them too."

Zhao Yidao said, "There should be four domestic spacecraft that can activate the anti-energy barrier. There is one in Yixing, one in the space agency, the anti-gravity team also has an experimental spacecraft, and there are spaceships."

The spacecraft will definitely not be used for experiments, because it cannot afford to lose it.

The anti-gravity team's experimental spaceships are likely to have substandard technical performance because most of them are engaged in near-Earth experiments and have no experience in space shuttles.

This technical substandardness is mainly reflected in the electronic system.

Because the hardware has already been installed, upgrading the electronic system is very complicated and requires special preparation and upgrade.

This process takes a long time.

Therefore, the spacecraft of the anti-gravity team can be ignored, and the remaining ones are the spacecraft of Yixing and the space agency.

Yixing's spacecraft is the one that carried out the Mars mission, and its performance is still very good. After returning to Earth, it has been repaired and maintained, and has been parked in the launch manufacturing base of Yixing.

This spacecraft will not have any missions in the short term, so it is most suitable for experimental missions.

The space agency also has a newly built spaceship. They are referring to Yixing's spacecraft technology. Because it is newly built, it makes up for some of the technology and lack of use of Yixing's Mars-1 spacecraft, and increases the space. It can also be used as a carrier ship.

The construction of this spacecraft is to prepare for future emergency missions.

For example, if a problem occurs at the lunar base, spacecraft can be used for rapid support.

Or, if something goes wrong with the spacecraft, you can also use the spacecraft for emergency rescue.

etc.

To put it bluntly, it is a spacecraft used for space rescue. After it is built, it has no mission for the time being and can also be used for experiments.

Zhao Yi still prefers to use the space agency's spacecraft, because the research they do is directly related to Z waves and space transmission. It analyzes space and studies the mysteries of particle transmission.

In a word, this is a basic theoretical research project, not research for Yixing.

Of course, the certification of this kind of research cannot be funded by Yixing, and there is no reason for Yixing to pay a spacecraft for this.

You must know that a spaceship is worth more than 5 billion, and it is only the basic price of manufacturing, not including the technical value.

If the spacecraft is sold abroad, it can easily fetch 20 billion.

So it is better to use the space agency's spacecraft.

After several people from the theory group discussed it, they wrote the experimental application materials together, because they were in the building of the Science and Technology Department. After writing the application materials, they were sent directly to Minister Liu, the leader of the Science and Technology Department.

When Zhao Yi went to deliver the application materials, he gave them to Minister Liu casually, and also chatted with Minister Liu about daily life, probably about hard work.

Minister Liu didn't take it too seriously, so he returned to the office calmly, made a cup of tea and looked at it slowly. After just one minute of looking at it, he squirted out the water.

"What!"

"Applying to use the space agency's spacecraft to conduct experiments? And the experiment may also involve great dangers, such as a big explosion?"

"Then, is there a certain probability that the spaceship will never return?"

"this--"

Minister Liu couldn't sit still. He simply called the senior leaders to report and talked about the experimental application materials he had received.

Two hours later, senior leaders arrived, along with Deng Long, the head of the space agency, and several other leaders and experts. They would listen to the research reports and experimental applications of the theoretical team.

Zhang Qican was the first to speak, "We analyzed the mathematical logic of particle transmission from multiple angles."

"After our research, we finally described space as consisting of basic 'empties'."

"The density of holes is fixed, and at the same time, holes are constantly jumping——"

He talked about the achievements of several people.

Later, Qiu Chengwen and Edward Witten explained the mathematical logic of the existence of holes based on existing physical theories and M-theory framework respectively.

What Qiu Chengwen said is better. Whether it is the speed of light, Einstein's theory, or other related physical theories, many people know it. Using this to explain the void hypothesis will also make people convinced to a certain extent.

Edward Witten is different. He also knows that the mathematics of string theory is very complicated. He just looks for some simple ones and ignores some difficult ones.

Even what he thinks is simple is completely incomprehensible to most people.

Even if a top mathematician or theoretical physicist has not conducted research on string theory, it will be difficult to hear what he has to say.

After Edward Witten finished his speech, the meeting was quiet for a while.

Several leaders clapped vigorously, and others followed suit. The senior leader coughed lightly and said, "As expected of a Fields winner, who is considered the most influential theoretical physicist in recent decades. Scholar, what Mr. Witten said is profound."

Edward Witten sat down happily. He seemed to feel that everyone recognized his speech.

Zhao Yi reminded in a low voice, "When the leader doesn't understand, he will say this."

"——?"

Edward Witten didn't react for a moment, but Qiu Chengwen next to him couldn't help laughing.

Next it was Zhao Yi's turn.

Zhao Yi made the final summary. He explained the importance of the experiment from the perspective of the latest technology, "Our last experiment had an accident that was suspected of a small hydrogen bomb explosion. I believe everyone is aware of it."

"According to my judgment, the reason why such an accident occurred is because of particle stripping and particle transport."

"The particles were stripped out of the nucleus and transported under special circumstances. When they collided together in the vacuum, a nuclear fusion reaction occurred."

"This is obviously not a normal situation, so we formed a theoretical team to do research."

"Now we have some results in our research, but we are not sure whether these results are correct. We use experimental methods to verify it, but at the same time, the safety of the experiments we designed cannot be guaranteed."

"This experiment will create an area where even space exists. If the experiment succeeds, we don't know what will happen. Because of this, we applied for a spacecraft to complete the experiment in the universe we want."

"The best result is that the experiment is successful and no accidents occur, and the spacecraft can return normally."

"Once an accident occurs, there is a high chance that the spacecraft will not be able to come back."

"But no matter what, this experiment can directly verify our results. No matter how much we pay, it is worth it, because once the experiment is successful, we may understand the space better and develop new technologies based on it."

That last sentence is quite telling.

The latest technologies Zhao Yi studies include anti-gravity technology, Z-wave, space link technology, compressed materials, etc., covering the fields of space exploration, military technology, information transmission and materials, each of which is a crushing success in related fields. level of technology, and created a steady stream of ultra-high profits. It is precisely with these key technologies that China can achieve external technological suppression and deterrence.

Every latest technology can be said to be the foundation of domestic development.

Compared to the emergence of a new technology, the loss of a spacecraft is nothing.

Senior leaders were immediately moved.

Zheng Long, the head of the space agency, certainly doesn’t think so. He certainly knows how important a new technology is, but the spacecraft used in the experiment is not irreplaceable.

The newly built spacecraft created by the space agency can be said to be his darling.

This uses the most high-end technology, very expensive compression materials, and is also equipped with a very high-end electronic system. The various devices and equipment inside are also the best.

Although the stated mission of the spacecraft is space rescue, because of its superb performance, it can also do some other work and complete some very important tasks.

For example, planet exploration.

If we now have more efficient Z-wave satellites, we can use space routes to directly span more than 10,000 astronomical units and explore planets outside the solar system.

It would be too heartbreaking to lose such an ultra-high-performance spacecraft in an experiment, and it would take a lot of time and energy to rebuild a spacecraft.

So Zheng Long put forward a different opinion, "As far as I know, Yixing is also a spacecraft and has been on Mars exploration missions. It should also be able to meet the experimental needs, right?"

Zhao Yi nodded and said, "Yixing's spaceship can also be used, but this is not Yixing's project."

He said it very bluntly.

Because Yixing is a normally operating company, it is impossible to lose one of the company's ultra-high-value spacecraft just for the sake of basic theoretical research.

One problem here is that the technology developed through basic theoretical research does not entirely belong to him or to Yixing.

The theory group is the R\u0026D group of the Science and Technology Department.

No matter what kind of technology can be developed, it may not necessarily be a confidential technology in the latest scientific and technological field. The main ownership will be domestically owned. Because of this, it is simply unreasonable to use Yixing's spacecraft for experiments.

Of course Zheng Long also understood this. He smiled and said, "Mr. Zhao, you have misunderstood me. In fact, what I want to say is that the country can fund the purchase of Yixing's spacecraft and use it directly for experiments."

He stood up and said to the others, "Our newly built spacecraft is very high-end and has better performance than the Mars-1 spacecraft. If there is a problem in the experiment, it would be a pity to directly destroy it. And the Mars-1 has carried out Mars exploration missions. To be honest, He said that there are no other tasks now, and if you want to use it, you will need to make certain upgrades, so it is perfect for experiments."

"So we can fund the purchase of Yixing's spaceship. I believe Yixing will not refuse."

Of course I won't refuse, provided the price is right.

Zhao Yi knows that the manufacturing cost of Mars-1 is about 5 billion.

The space agency also knows.

Therefore, the meeting decided that the space agency and Yixing would negotiate to purchase the Mars-1 spacecraft and then modify it for the upcoming experiments.

After the meeting ended, Zheng Long and Zhao Yi walked out side by side, and whispered, "Academician Zhao, the cost of your spaceship is about 5 billion, right? If it is used for experiments, the price -"

He didn't finish his words, his meaning was already clear, he just wanted to come over and bargain.

Zhao Yi shook his head and said, "Yixing and the space agency often cooperate. We are old acquaintances and friends, right?"

Zheng Long nodded doubtfully.

Zhao Yidao said, "Friends, I will definitely not trick you. What's more, Yixing and the space agency will definitely have a lot of cooperation in the future, with a lot of technical exchanges and a lot of business contacts."

"So the specific price of the spacecraft still needs to be discussed. The manufacturing cost of Mars-1 is indeed 5 billion, but the sales price will definitely be more expensive, because Mars-1 has carried out exploration missions, which proves the safety and reliability of the spacecraft. and stability.”

"I will not participate in this negotiation, but I estimate that the selling price should be less than 10 billion, mainly because Mars-1 is indeed not necessary for Yixing, and there is no mission for the time being."

"But don't worry."

Zhao Yi finally added, "The space agency will not necessarily lose money if it buys it, because the probability of major safety risks in this experiment is very small."

"Although we are talking about seriousness, it is just because there is a probability, but the probability is not high."

"Compressed materials will be installed inside the Mars-1. Even in response to the last small explosion, because of the space cover blocking it, it will not be directly damaged. Therefore, after the experiment is completed, there is a high probability that the Mars-1 will Can return to Earth normally."

Zheng Long felt happy after hearing this, and then immediately asked, "I thought I would never come back after doing the experiment, but it turns out that's the case! Academician Zhao, what do you think the probability of coming back is?"

Zhao Yi hesitated and said, "I can't guarantee this, it's hard to say."

"That's good."

"how?"

"You can sign an agreement with Yixing. If the experiment is damaged, Yixing can compensate accordingly and the sales price can be negotiated as normal."

"This is good!" Zheng Long was immediately satisfied.

If an accident occurs in the experiment and the spacecraft cannot return normally, there will be a certain amount of financial compensation, which can be regarded as making up for the loss to a certain extent.

Otherwise, buying Yixing’s spaceship will definitely not be a loss!

Although the manufacturing cost is only 5 billion, the performance of the spacecraft is very good, and it has performed missions and can ensure safety and stability. It will not be a loss to buy it for 10 billion.
