Chapter 858 The astronomical telescope is in place

It is impossible for Tang Xiaochuan to accompany Guan Jingwen to visit the patients supported by her charity foundation all the time, but he accompanied Guan Jingwen to visit a few patients during the weekend.

Come Monday, he has work to do.

When he accepted Dong Xiaoqing, the famous secretary of the imperial court, he said that Feitian Technology will deploy six Heming astronomical telescopes in the outer space of the earth in the next three years to observe and monitor "extraterrestrial visitors".

But this time he received a report from the scientific research center that the first astronomical telescope was successfully developed. He took the aircraft to the sky station and watched the spacecraft transport the astronomical telescope to the predetermined orbit.

"boss!"

Professor Gao led the students in white coats to greet Tang Xiaochuan who had just stepped out of the aircraft.

Tang Xiaochuan shook hands with Professor Gao and others one by one, and then asked, "Has the Heming Astronomical Telescope been delivered?"

"The finished product is too bulky, especially the solar panel is too long, it is not easy to use the aircraft to transport the entire telescope up, so we can only disassemble it into parts and ship it up, and then assemble it here. The spaceship has been bound, and the spaceship can be launched at any time!" Professor Gao said.

Accompanied by Professor Gao and others, Tang Xiaochuan came to the observation room above the docking port of the carrying spacecraft.

Through the special glass window of the observation room, Tang Xiaochuan saw a large-scale object tied to the carrier spacecraft. It has nine lenses. Behind the lens is a big head. This big head has many devices. The two sides of the big head are like ears. The thing is being put away, that is its solar panel, which is still in the state of being put away at this time.

Tang Xiaochuan asked: "What are the components of this Heming Telescope?"

Professor Gao said: "Boss, it is mainly composed of lens, solar panel and equipment compartment. Let's briefly talk about the lens and solar panel. The solar panel collects solar energy and cosmic ray energy and converts it into the operation of the entire astronomical telescope. The function of the lens is to shoot video and take pictures, and the system can perform thermal imaging and spectral analysis through them; release α, β, γ and other rays to assist in the analysis of the target, and the accuracy of the lens is extremely high!"

"Its main equipment includes ultra-wide-field cameras and video cameras, ultraviolet analytical spectrographs, α, β, and γ analytical spectrographs, extreme velocity photometers, dark matter cameras and video cameras, dark matter spectrographs, main control computers, batteries, Information receiving and transmitting processors, constant temperature system processing equipment, docking interfaces, and more!"

Tang Xiaochuan couldn't help asking: "Why does this thing have a docking port?"

Professor Gao said with a smile: "Of course, the equipment needs maintenance every once in a while. If something breaks down, people have to be sent to repair it in a spaceship. The maintenance personnel need to enter the interior to perform maintenance and repairs!"

Tang Xiaochuan nodded and asked, "How much does this thing cost?"

"700 billion!"

Tang Xiaochuan gasped, "The cost is so high?"

Professor Gao said: "No way, the parts and all the instruments and equipment on it are the top-notch today, and each of them took a long time to manufacture individually!"

"How long does it last?"

"About 30 years, but if you persist, it is not impossible to use 50 years, but I personally don't think it is necessary to let it serve for such a long time!" Professor Gao talked eloquently.

Tang Xiaochuan asked: "Why?"

Professor Gao said: "In 30 years, technological progress must be very great. We can't do it now. Maybe we can do it in 20 or 30 years. Maybe we will be able to manufacture more advanced astronomical telescopes in [-] years. , so I don't see any need to keep it in service for longer!"

Tang Xiaochuan had to admit that what Professor Gao said made sense. In this era, science and technology are developing too fast. No matter what type of product, the time for updating is very short. The Heming Astronomical Telescope is not without rivals. Now the Hubble Astronomical Telescope is facing When it is decommissioned, it will be replaced by a new astronomical telescope, and the performance of this new telescope is not known.

If you want to stay ahead in this area, you need to maintain the Heming Astronomical Telescope frequently. If there is a problem, you must repair it in time, and if you have new equipment, you must replace it with new equipment in time.

Tang Xiaochuan said: "Tell me about its main control computer!"

"The main control computer of the Heming Astronomical Telescope is a quantum computer, and its calculation and information processing speed far exceeds any supercomputer in the world today!"

Although quantum computers are rare, they are nothing new. When Feitian Technology announced its quantum supremacy two years ago, it had already developed a relatively large quantum computer. Quantum computers are faster and more computationally intensive than traditional computers. Larger and more complex capabilities.

Now, after two or three years of development, some quantum programs have been compiled for information processing and calculation, and Feitian Technology has already left countries far behind in this regard.

"Its quantum computer is a device the size of a drum washing machine. Compared with the first quantum computer we developed at the beginning, we have made great progress. Not to mention anything else, let's talk about the size. Our One is reduced many times, and other countries can't even build a quantum computer, let alone develop such a small quantum computer!"

Tang Xiaochuan had a rough understanding of this thing after listening to it, and he asked again: "You just said that there is a constant temperature transfer system equipment on the Heming Astronomical Telescope. How does this system work?"

Professor Gao said: "The orbit of the astronomical telescope is far away from the atmosphere, so the temperature changes greatly. It is necessary to keep all the equipment in a relatively safe temperature range to maintain normal operation. There are insulation and heat dissipation devices on it, and there is space inside. Yes, it can be used by maintenance and repair personnel!"

At this time, a staff member came over and reported: "Professor, boss, it's almost time, do you want to let the carrier ship go?"

Tang Xiaochuan nodded to Professor Gao, and Professor Gao gave an order; "Let the spaceship go!"

"understand!"

The astronauts who received the order drove the spacecraft away from the docking port, left the space station and flew in the direction of the predetermined orbit.

In fact, the carrier spacecraft can be commanded remotely by the scientists of the space station, but in order to train the astronauts and improve their driving skills, all space navigation missions are now basically driven by humans instead of remote control. , the benefit of doing so is that more and more astronauts have the opportunity to carry out practical operations.

Moreover, as the exchanges between the earth and the moon become more frequent, the requirements for astronauts' driving skills are also higher.

A few minutes later, the carrier spacecraft transported the He Tian Telescope to the predetermined orbit and successfully separated from it.

"The system started successfully!"

"Automatically detects each device...
"All equipment status is normal!"

"Good!" Tang Xiaochuan took the lead in applauding, and all the scientists were very happy. The successful deployment of the first Heming Astronomical Telescope means that there is no big problem with the remaining five telescopes. There will be nothing to hide.
