cosmic hegemony

Chapter 223, Anti-Gravity Technology

Li Fu knew very well that with the current strength of the Fuyun Group, he could express his dissatisfaction to Wang Aiguo and Tang Yunshan in the form of a strike.

It is also possible to completely stop providing super large plasma engines to the country. In this case, even if these heavy industry groups can build frigates, but without the super large plasma engines provided by Fuyun Group, these frigates are just some iron bumps .

Fuyun Group has mastered the core and most critical technology. Even for Dumbo and Dafeixiang spacecraft, Fuyun Group can sign an agreement with those buyers. The asteroids mined must be sold to Fuyun first. Group and so on, Fuyun Group has many means to easily grab enough resources.

However, Li Fu did not intend to do this, because doing so would not do Li Fu any good, it would only push himself to the forefront and play into the hands of others.

They hope that Li Fuzheng will confront the authorities, so that they have a reason to suggest to the authorities to take some measures against the Fuyun Group. Among other things, an anti-monopoly alone is enough to make the Fuyun Group fall apart.

Furthermore, Li Fu is also very clear why Tang Yunshan and other high-level officials are so eager to build their own cosmic army, because they are always very worried about the invasion of alien civilizations in their hearts.

If Li Fu plays petty emotions on this matter, Tang Yunshan may come forward at that time, and the resource demand of Fuyun Group can be guaranteed, but the image that Li Fu has been erecting all along will fall short, not to mention that Li Fu also knows Serious.

Others may not know why China is in such a hurry to build a cosmic army, so it can shamelessly snatch resources, but Li Fu can't do it. It must start from the perspective and fundamental interests of the entire earth people, of course, it is also from the perspective of Li Fu. Start with your own interests.

"Brother Fu, it is not difficult for us to mine by ourselves, but if we want to meet the demand, we need to mine at least 15 asteroids of tens of millions of tons every year. If we calculate it, we need dozens of teams and more than ten large-scale asteroids. spaceship."

"At first we didn't intend to mine asteroids, so none of the large spaceships we produced remained, and the orders for the later period are all full. If we want to squeeze out more than ten spaceships, the impact will still be Relatively large."

When Chen Bin heard Li Fu's words, he kept calculating in his mind, then shook his head and said.

"What's the point of mining 1000 million tons of asteroids each time? We are the originator and naturally we need to spend a lot of money. If we can mine hundreds of millions of tons of asteroids at a time, we can mine once or twice a year to meet the needs of resources."

Li Fu smiled mysteriously. The Dumbo spacecraft can drag asteroids of tens of millions of tons at most. Of course, it is very good if it can reach about 900 million tons under normal circumstances. In many cases, it can drag around 700 million or 800 million tons. Iron-rich asteroids can be lucrative.

As for the Big Flying Elephant spacecraft, the current output is still very scarce. The most important thing is that the price is too high, as high as hundreds of billions of Chinese coins. Even crazy capitalists have to carefully weigh their own. Money bag.

The Big Flying Elephant spacecraft is an upgraded version of the Dumbo Spaceship. In theory, it can tow asteroids up to 5000 million tons, but in actual operation, it can tow about 3000 million tons of iron-rich asteroids. Planets are very good. If you can encounter an asteroid with a mass of about 4000 million tons, you will be lucky.

Li Fu now proposes to mine asteroids worth hundreds of millions of tons at a time. It is obvious that the Dumbo and Jumbo spacecraft cannot meet the demand, and more advanced spacecraft must be built.

"Asteroids of hundreds of millions of tons?"

When the others heard this, their eyes widened. They are all experts in the field of aerospace power, and naturally they also know how huge the power is required to mine hundreds of millions of tons of asteroids. This requires a super-large plasma engine to be able to Satisfied, but still relatively reluctant.

The mass of "Huashan" is as high as 10 billion tons, but according to the design, more than ten super large plasma engines need to be installed on it to meet the demand.

Plasma power, like jet power, also has a limit, just like once a jet-powered fighter reaches Mach 3, it is almost impossible to speed up, because the thrust generated by the jet power system is no longer enough for the fighter jet The speed increased again.

The same is true for plasma power, which also has a limit. In theory, a single ultra-large plasma power engine can propel objects on the level of 10 billion tons, but this is only a theory. In actual operation, it is difficult to reach the limit.

Therefore, if you want to mine hundreds of millions of tons of asteroids, if you still use the plasma power system, then you must use a super-large plasma engine, but the super-large plasma engine itself is extremely expensive, and the key is It requires very large spaceships and space battleships to match them.

It is impossible to build a frigate-level spacecraft as large as the "Hengshan" and "Songshan" to mine asteroids. This is a bit too talented.

Moreover, to build such a huge spaceship would require the consumption of a huge amount of steel resources, and it would take several years, which would have no effect on alleviating the immediate situation.

"Brother Fu, what do we use to mine hundreds of millions of tons of asteroids?"

Yu Liang seemed to have thought of it, and said with bright eyes, he has been with Li Fu for a long time, he knows that Li Fu seems to contain infinite possibilities, so there is no problem that can hinder Li Fu.

"Using a super-large plasma engine to build a large spacecraft to mine asteroids is not cost-effective, and it will take a long time, and it will not solve the immediate problem at all."

Chen Bin's mind is relatively simple. At this time, he is still calculating and guessing how to mine asteroids with a scale of hundreds of millions of tons.

"Brother Fu must have a new power technology."

Cao Haitao stroked his chin, looking thoughtful.

"New power technology? What technology?"

It was only at this time that Chen Bin suddenly realized, and asked Li Fu quickly.

"Traditional plasma technology is naturally very uneconomical. We have no intention of losing money. We are a high-tech enterprise, so we must continue to innovate and research new technologies."

Li Fu Wei Wei’s secret, the power technology has slowly developed from the earliest steam power to the internal combustion engine, and then to the electric motor, plasma power, it can be said that every change in power technology is a huge leap in human history, from the first industrial From the revolution to the second and third industrial revolutions, and to the current interstellar era, almost everything is determined by power technology.

"What technology?"

Chen Bin, Yu Liang, Cao Haitao and others asked almost in unison, all with expectant eyes.

"Anti-gravity technology!"

Li Fu spit out a few words lightly.

"Anti-gravity technology?"

After several people heard it, they talked one by one, and then kept thinking in their minds.

The so-called anti-gravity technology is a theoretical power technology. Its theory is very simple. In the vast void of the universe, no matter any object is dominated by universal gravitation.

The moon is dominated by the gravitational force of the earth, so the moon revolves around the earth; the earth, Mars, Venus and other eight planets are dominated by the gravitational force of the sun, so they all revolve around the solar system; Countless galaxies are dominated by the powerful black hole at the center of the Milky Way, so the matter in the entire Milky Way revolves around the Milky Way. According to calculations by scientists, the time it takes for the solar system to circle the Milky Way is about 2.2 million to 2.5 million years. This cycle can be called cosmic year or galaxy year.

Of course, although the Milky Way is very huge, the Milky Way is not static. It is also dominated by a powerful force, and it is also moving at an unimaginable speed in the universe.It can be said that everything in the universe is dominated by a powerful force, and this force is gravity.

Knowing the gravitational force that governs everything in the universe, scientists wonder whether it is possible to use this universal gravitational force that exists widely in the universe to obtain power. This is the theory of anti-gravity technology. Of course, it cannot be said to be anti-gravity technology in the true sense. It should be called gravitational power technology.

It's just that in the early days, the gravitational force that can be used is generally the gravitational force of the planet, that is, gravity, so it is called anti-gravity technology. If it can be developed and developed to a relatively advanced level, it can be called gravitational power technology.

Once it reaches that level, the gravitational force used is no longer limited to planets, it can be the gravitational force of stars or the terrifying power that dominates the river system.

Although everyone can know the theory of anti-gravity technology, it is very difficult to actually realize anti-gravity technology, just like we all know Einstein's mass-energy formula, but when we are asked to study the atomic bomb, we will There is no way to start with a smear, otherwise countries all over the world have already mastered nuclear bomb technology.

Chen Bin, Yu Liang, Cao Haitao and others also know about the theoretical technology of anti-gravity, but when it comes to the real research of anti-gravity technology, everyone is confused and has no way to start, even though they all know Li Fu's main energy these years has been on the research of new power technology.

At first everyone thought that Li Fu was researching plasma power technology, and Li Fu never announced it to the outside world. Unexpectedly, Li Fu was actually researching anti-gravity technology. This kind of theoretical technology is also a promising technology.
