Genius of the Rules-Style System

The meeting for the special experiment to be declared was over. People who knew the news also focused their attention on the experiment, and the experiment became very popular.

At the same time, the theoretical team of the experiment also needs to submit a risk assessment report.

This was something Zhao Yi and others did not expect.

But it’s normal to think about it carefully, because the cost of the experiment will be very high. Without losing the spacecraft, the experiment will cost hundreds of millions of yuan. Once the spacecraft is damaged, the cost will be close to tens of billions of yuan.

In addition, the theory team constantly emphasizes the dangers that the experiment may bring, which also attracts the attention of senior leaders. They hope to know the probability of extremely dangerous situations occurring.

Zhao Yi, Qiu Chengwen, Edward Witten and Zhang Qican all rested for a night, and came to the workshop together the next day to start making an assessment report on the risk of the experiment.

In fact, their job is to study ‘what happens’ in experiments.

"The occurrence of extremely dangerous situations in experiments is mainly reflected in the success of the experiments."

"If the experiment is successful, we will know that there is an area that has no space. This area is subject to external pressure, and anything is possible."

"But, in fact, because of the anti-gravity barrier, even if a huge explosion occurs, the energy burst out at that moment will be absorbed, and the remaining energy will be difficult to create much of a threat if placed in space."

Zhao Yi made a brief summary and then said, "So what we have to do is analyze what might happen if the experiment is successful."

This problem is easy to solve.

Assuming that the experiment was successful, there must be loopholes. Several people quickly summarized the important points.

Qiu Chengwen was the first to say something, "If there is a strong pressure, the internal equipment may explode, causing the entire spacecraft to explode."

"What causes danger is not only the pressure, but also the possibility of violent nuclear fusion reactions."

"Your last experiment was to transfer the compressed space to the vacuum environment at the other end, and the particles were stripped off, thereby triggering nuclear fusion. Now, it is said that there is no space compression at one end, but because the space at the other end is not There may also be particle stripping, triggering a more violent nuclear fusion explosion.”

This is an important danger point.

Zhang Qican said, "Maybe nothing will happen. We still know very little about the space. Even if we establish an area where space does not exist, it may just be similar to the environment at the edge of the universe. I think the edge of the universe is not very It may have exploded due to space expansion.”

"There is another possibility that nothing will happen. The space link equipment is operating normally, but the efficiency has improved, that's all."

"But, to be honest, I don't really want to see this result." Zhang Qican shook his head and smiled, "I believe you are the same. Although it has been confirmed that the general direction of our research is correct, the experimental conclusion is exactly the same as imagined. It can only provide a theoretical direction."

The other three people thought so too.

The experimental method used to determine the research direction is correct, and of course it is a good result, but what they want to see more is an 'abnormality'.

When there are anomalies, it will be determined that there is something unknown, and it will be worthy of continued research and exploration.

Qiu Chengwen and Zhang Qican went through several possibilities together.

Next, several people discussed the possibility of extreme danger, and finally found that the highest probability was only 0.01%.

This is an estimated value calculated from inductive mathematics.

"If you conduct experiments on the ground, the probability of extreme danger is no higher than 0.01%, but for space work experiments far away from the earth, the probability of extreme danger will be greatly reduced."

"So we don't have to worry about doing experiments in space."

Even when conducting experiments in space, there is still the possibility of extreme danger, but reality is a matter of probability.

Just like some asteroids may hit the earth, the probability will be less than 0.10%, or even smaller.

This probability is almost negligible. It is impossible to develop targeted and large-scale response methods or to stop an important scientific research just because of such a dangerous probability event.

After everyone reached an agreement, they submitted the report.

Senior leaders saw the report and put it down.

Such a small probability can indeed be ignored, and we can start to look forward to the experimental results.

After the risk assessment report was reviewed, the space agency quickly started negotiations with Yixing for the Mars-1 spacecraft, and the two parties quickly reached an agreement on the price.

The final selling price was set at 9.3 billion yuan.

This price is completely acceptable to the space agency, because they think it is acceptable if it is less than 10 billion, and of course Yixing is acceptable. The performance of the Mars-1 spacecraft is very good, and it has completed the Mars exploration mission, proving the stability and safety of the spacecraft.

The latter is worth billions.

If the spacecraft is sold abroad, the transaction price will be at least 20 billion. However, with the technical accuracy of Mars-1, it is impossible to be allowed to be sold abroad, and the buyer can only be a space agency. 20 billion is not necessary. Considered.

In addition, it is of little use for Yixing to keep the Mars-1 spacecraft. The moon base plan does not need the Mars-1 spacecraft, and what they need is a brand-new functional spacecraft, not a spacecraft for planet exploration, the Mars-1 The spaceship became useless.

Not only will it not be used, but keeping it there will require continued high maintenance fees.

Therefore, selling Mars-1 to the space agency is the best choice.

The transaction price of 9.3 billion is enough for Yixing to make a fortune.

Although the Mars-1 spacecraft was sold to the space agency, it is still parked at the launch base where Yixing belongs. Several people from the theory team are going to work with people from the Z-wave team and space information technology to transform the Mars-1 spacecraft. .

Zhao Yi took Qiu Chengwen, Edward Witten and others to the launch base of Yixing. It is said to be a launch base, but it is actually a place where the spacecraft and equipment of Yixing are placed. Many companies use compressed materials to build Small spacecraft will be placed here for a short period of time.

Because some members of the technical team had not arrived yet, they visited the materials and equipment prepared for the lunar base plan, as well as the most important lunar base vehicle.

The lunar base vehicle has been built and placed in the launch base.

Zhao Yi met Deng Jian and Zhang Wenhua, the astronauts on the lunar base mission.

Deng Jian is only thirty-five years old, the youngest among astronauts. He graduated from the top military academy in the country and also obtained a master's degree in ground machinery.

After graduation, Deng Jian has been working for the military. After reaching a certain working age, he participated in the selection of astronauts and began to receive aerospace-related training.

However, he did not receive training for long before the space agency reached an agreement with Yixing and he joined Yixing Company.

Among the astronauts belonging to Yixing, Deng Jian is relatively young and his training performance is not the best. However, because he has done research on ground armor and is very proficient in mechanical related fields, the moon base plan was directly found. Got him.

After hearing the mission description, Deng Jian excitedly agreed.

What he hopes most is to become a real astronaut and participate in major space exploration missions.

Now, the opportunity has come.

In the training of astronauts, his performance was not the best, but his current job is not to train astronauts, but to go to the moon and drive a lunar rover to help find a location that is most suitable for establishing a lunar base.

This job suits him very well.

Think about it.

After the lunar base is built in the future, when talking about the location of the base, the name 'Deng Jian' comes to mind, and he feels very excited and looking forward to it.

Of course, there are still challenges.

This mission requires astronauts to live on the moon for a long time, maybe one month, two months, maybe longer.

Two people, one car, driving alone on the moon, if you think about it carefully, it is still very stressful.

Another astronaut named Zhang Wenhua has never experienced a major mission, but he is a frequent visitor to the "anti-gravity spacecraft".

He has more experience than Deng Jian and his training performance is better.

Therefore, Zhang Wenhua is also the captain.

Zhao Yi met Zhang Wenhua and Deng Jian. It was not the first time he met them, but it was the first time he handed over work. He asked directly, "You should know about this mission, right? Do you regret it now? Do you regret it now?" There’s still time, we can re-select someone.”

"Don't!"

Deng Jian immediately became anxious, "It's been agreed that it's us, we can just come."

Zhang Wenhua also said, "Academician Zhao, we have no regrets! Now we are ready and just waiting for the order to set off."

Zhao Yi smiled and said, "It doesn't have to be so formal, it's just a joke."

"This mission is indeed very important, but you don't have to worry. If something goes wrong along the way, we can ask the Aeronautics and Space Administration to send support. They have built a spacecraft specifically for support and can shuttle directly to the moon."

"Now you should know a lot about the lunar base vehicle, right? Come and introduce it to us."

Zhao Yi came here just to take a look at the lunar base vehicle.

Although the lunar base vehicle was designed by him, this was the first time he saw the real finished product. Other operational things were designed by other personnel, and he didn't know much about it.

Now Zhang Wenhua and Deng Jian are here, mainly learning to operate the lunar base vehicle.

They not only need to be familiar with the operating methods, but also have a comprehensive understanding of the lunar base vehicle, so that when an unexpected malfunction occurs, they know where the problem is most likely to occur, so that they can repair it in a timely manner, rather than just because of an unexpected failure. Small problems impact the mission.

Next, Zhang Wenhua and Deng Jian began to introduce the lunar base vehicle to several people.

The lunar base vehicle has very comprehensive functions. It can be said to be an RV on the moon. It also comes with oxygen generation and circulation equipment, which can allow astronauts to live for a long time.

The base vehicle has a lot of automatic control equipment, which amazed Edward Witten and Qiu Chengwen. They have been doing theoretical research for a long time, and this is the first time they have come into contact with such advanced mechanical equipment.

Edward Witten kept lamenting, "This car is really too high-end."

"It is truly a lunar base vehicle. It can support life on the moon and communicate with the earth in real time."

"There's even an intelligent control system, so you don't have to do anything at all."

Zhao Yi just smiled after hearing this.

In fact, the core technology of the lunar base vehicle mainly has two points, one is solar power transmission technology, and the other is compressed materials.

Compressed materials can ensure the protective capabilities of the lunar base vehicle, so that astronauts, internal equipment, etc. will not be interfered by external temperatures, rays, etc.

Solar energy transmission technology is the source of power for the lunar base vehicle.

When the material problem and the energy problem are solved, everything else will no longer be a problem.
