Genius of the Rules-Style System

The technology of the lunar base vehicle that made Edward Witten express such emotion is indeed very high-end, but the current lunar base vehicle is not perfect yet.

At the launch center where Yixing belongs, the base vehicle is constantly being tested to ensure that each component can operate normally.

The current base vehicle has just been assembled for the first time, and will be disassembled and assembled twice in the future. Some necessary equipment will be added in the process.

The most important of these are safety and replacement devices such as solid fuel and special solid fuel generators.

This equipment is generally not used. When the solar transmission device fails, the solid fuel generator becomes a temporary alternative power source.

In addition, the base vehicle also needs to add two sets of tire devices. Two high-tech tires can adapt to different environments to ensure that the base vehicle can continue to operate in the harsh environment of the lunar surface.

Even if it encounters serious potholes or soft terrain, the base vehicle can use the spare tire to leave the obstacle area and continue moving forward.

Such a high-end lunar base vehicle naturally requires corresponding manufacturing costs.

The material and equipment cost of the lunar base vehicle alone exceeds 200 million. Adding maintenance, maintenance, labor, electronic equipment, etc., the cost easily exceeds 250 million.

This is not all, and the value of the software and intelligent systems has not been considered.

Zhao Yi is also very satisfied with the lunar base vehicle he designed himself. He hopes to continue to improve it to ensure the safety of astronauts. He also hopes that the base vehicle can play a certain role in the subsequent construction and use of the lunar base.

After visiting the lunar base vehicle, several people from the theoretical team began to work on the modification design of the spacecraft.

The modification of the spacecraft mainly involves adding several types of equipment, including small Z-wave devices and space link devices.

In addition, the spacecraft also needs to upgrade its automatic control system to ensure that the spacecraft can be more flexibly controlled remotely and that the newly added devices can operate intelligently.

This aspect requires Yixing’s software team to do.

Two days later.

The technical teams from the Space Information Technology Company and the Z-wave Experiment Group are here, and they will carry out modifications and designs for the spacecraft.

Yixing’s computer team also came.

Zhao Yi immediately handed over the work of the computer team and came up with the designed general framework, allowing them to add new functions and targeted upgrades to the spacecraft's intelligent system.

The hardware modification of the spacecraft is relatively simple, just adding some equipment. The follow-up work is to adjust the equipment coverage to ensure that the experiment is more precise.

The improvement and upgrade of electronic and intelligent systems takes a relatively long time, at least half a month.

Of course, Zhao Yi would not spend half a month to build a software system. He just provided the framework and direction, and let the computer team write the detailed code. After that, he continued to study the 'Void Hypothesis' with several people in the theory team. '.

The ‘Void Hypothesis’ has a lot to be studied and requires detailed demonstration at multiple levels.

This can be continuously studied, using the void hypothesis combined with various physical theories to improve the properties of voids.

Several people in the theory group are full of fighting spirit and devote 100% enthusiasm to research work, because they specialize in theoretical research. Now there is a new theory in front of them, and it is a theory that can be tested immediately. Everyone is very enthusiastic. expectations and hope to improve as much as possible.

As the research continues to deepen, various problems will be encountered.

The problems encountered on this day were so big that they even made people want to give up research.

Qiu Chengwen raised an important question, "I discovered a problem when doing gravity calculations."

"If holes are defined as having a fixed density and a stable jumping speed, then ultra-high-magnification compression particles cannot be explained."

"This is contrary to both cosmology and the Big Bang theory."

After Qiu Chengwen gave a simple explanation, everyone understood.

If the density of holes is fixed and there is an upper limit on the jump speed, then a problem will arise. There must be an upper limit for the squeeze (jump annihilation) of holes against a mass point.

In the case of ultra-high-magnification compression, one can theoretically see a point, because whether it is the Big Bang theory or Zhao Yi's cosmology, the universe was initially formed at a point.

The mass of this point is infinite.

When the finite meets the infinite, contradictions will arise.

If this problem is not addressed, the definition of void becomes completely meaningless.

Several people studied the theory for a whole day without any results, and only Zhao Yi could not think of a solution.

What to do?

Does the loophole really not exist?

——

The questions raised by Qiu Chengwen troubled the theoretical team. Qiu Chengwen and Edward Witten even had doubts about the experiment.

"Will we really get the results we want? Maybe time will be meaningless and nothing will happen."

"I really hope to see something in the experiment, but how to explain this problem?"

"Anyway, let's take a look at the experimental results first."

Zhao Yi has no way to solve this problem for the time being. Theoretical research requires inspiration, and it also needs to be studied through experiments. It is just a matter of imagination, and there must be an upper limit.

Many physical theories are obtained through experiments.

Quantum physics research is very convincing. Most quantum physics research is based on conclusions drawn from experimental analysis.

Now they can only wait for the experiment.

——

The hole verification experiment is to be carried out on a spacecraft. It is definitely very wasteful for the Mars-1 spacecraft to fly into space alone to conduct experiments.

Therefore, the space agency's plan is to conduct an exploration activity, and the destination is set at Jupiter. The Mars-1 spacecraft will use space shuttle to fly to the vicinity of Jupiter in a short time, and then use Jupiter's strong gravitational pull, as well as the spacecraft itself The power system corrects the orbit and returns to the earth.

The experiment is scheduled for the spacecraft to arrive near Jupiter and complete a series of exploration work. According to the planned plan, if the experiment goes smoothly and does not cause damage to the spacecraft, Mars-1 will also attack asteroids on its way back to Earth. Bringing Pallas and passing by Ceres at a long distance, a series of photography work can be carried out.

Of course, this is all follow-up work.

After completing a series of preparations at the Yixing launch base, Zhao Yi and the theory team went to the space agency's mission center together.

It took the space agency less than two months to prepare to use Mars-1 to explore Jupiter. The work is still very intense. Fortunately, the space exploration technology is very mature, and Mars-1 can also be controlled in a timely manner from a long distance. They need to do The only thing is to conduct a series of calculations.

Calculation work in the aerospace field is very complex. A series of issues must be considered for the path of the spacecraft, and the predetermined orbit also needs to be demonstrated in detail.

Zhao Yi and people from the theory team participated in the follow-up work.

After Zhao Yi and the people from the theory team joined in, the subsequent work of summarizing the data suddenly became faster. Whether it was Zhao Yi, Qiu Chengwen, or Edward Witten, they were all top mathematicians. He is very good at data and calculation-related work, especially Zhao Yi. He can easily get the result of any problem in his hands.

All preparations were completed one week before the planned launch.

The space agency has released information about exploring Jupiter, and has also determined to use the Mars-1 spacecraft.

International public opinion has little reaction to the exploration of Jupiter. With China's leading aerospace technology, it is not a big deal to just explore Jupiter. Public opinion is concerned about two points -

One is to use the Mars-1 spacecraft.

"Yixing's Mars-1 spacecraft has performed missions to land on Mars and return, proving its stability and reliability."

"At the same time, the Mars-1 spacecraft has very complete performance. The space link equipment it carries can clearly transmit three-dimensional images to the ground at close range, which is much clearer than what the human eye can see."

"Relying on the high-end technical performance of the Mars-1 spacecraft, it will definitely provide more data and image information than ordinary detectors. It will also allow us to obtain more information about Jupiter and gain a better understanding of Jupiter."

"However, it seems that using Mars-1 is overkill for just exploring Jupiter, rather than landing on Jupiter's satellites?"

This is one of the views of public opinion.

If you only want to explore and photograph Jupiter, you can just launch a multi-functional probe, and there is no need to use the high-end Mars-1 spacecraft.

Another point is that the exploration mission will use space shuttle technology.

Space shuttle technology attracts attention every time it is used. So far, the longest distance traveled has only been to Mars.

Now it is a space shuttle that directly reaches Jupiter. The distance has been increased several times, which will naturally attract a lot of attention.

Yixing claims that space exploration technology can even allow spacecraft to reach the outer reaches of the solar system, but it is not certain whether this can be achieved.

The current Jupiter exploration mission is an opportunity to see whether the shuttle can be successfully completed.

If we can reach Jupiter in a short time, it will prove that it is easy to reach longer distances, and exploring the outer solar system will no longer be just a theory.

In fact, it is still impossible to explore outside the solar system for the time being. The only thing that can do it is a spacecraft, and the spacecraft is still being tested, and it will definitely not be easy to explore outside the solar system.

This is mainly because of the power of the Z wave.

The power of Z-wave satellites in Earth orbit is severely limited. Just using solar energy transmission technology cannot guarantee super power.

Even if the 'brightest star in the night sky' is created, it can only support high-magnification compression of one billion kilometers at most. The further the distance is, the compression magnification will be limited, and it is completely meaningless.

Because of this, Yixing has a "lunar base" plan. The top priority in the construction of the "lunar base" is to use the gravity of the moon to build large-scale solar energy receiving devices and fix a large number of single crystal flakes to manufacture high-performance solar cells. The power supply releases ultra-high power Z-waves.

Finally, the scheduled launch time arrived.

In the morning of this day, senior leaders came to the launch center of the space agency to prepare to watch the experiment on site.

For most people, the work of exploring Jupiter is not important. Even if some new information about Jupiter is obtained, the real significance is not great.

What everyone cares about is the ‘empty hypothesis verification experiment’.

Zhao Yi and others in the theory team also came to the control center, feeling excited and expectant, but also a little worried.

They hope to see results from the experiment, but are also worried that nothing will happen.

This is the conflict in my heart.

There will be another chapter today.
