Gate of Technology

Cheng Yuan looked at the surprised Ma Zhicheng, smiled slightly, and said, I want to make a solar power station in the stratosphere, but there are some technical problems that need some support.

Ma Zhicheng shuddered, his eyes widened, and he looked at Cheng Yuan like a monster.

It is impossible not to be shocked!

Think about it, since Cheng Yuan became famous, he has come up with technologies one after another, starting from the intelligent robot Dabai, to the interactive holographic projection system, and then to the extended material field, the preparation of a new graphene, and now they are still allowed to Experts from these academies relished it.

In addition to these, the appearance of a Z1 robot half a month ago shocked them even more.

A variety of technologies included in the z1 have been split out by them and are ready to be put into other fields to make these technologies play a greater role.

In just half a year, this 18-year-old boy can come up with so much technology in one breath, how can he not be shocked!

In particular, he actually reached out to the energy field at this time.

A power station located in a flat process is a field that many scientists have fantasized about, but have never achieved.

High-altitude energy is an endless treasure trove. As long as the earth is still spinning, as long as the sun can still shine, the energy in this field will be inexhaustible!

But this infinite treasure house of energy is not so easy to open.

The most important of which is the total weight, flight speed, and power conversion efficiency of high-altitude aircraft. These are all factors that they need to consider.

Although there are many difficulties that need to be overcome, it has a wide range of uses. Because the stratosphere has stable meteorological conditions, good electromagnetic properties and is close to the ground, this area has become a center for high-resolution earth observation, air warning and communication. Ideal height for activities such as following.

Not only in the field of energy, but also in the field of communication services, a suspended stratospheric platform that resides at an altitude of 2 kilometers. The effective coverage area on the ground can reach 19,000 square kilometers. Within this range, it can provide high-speed communication services as a small communication terminal.

Not only that. Due to the openness of the high-altitude field, multiple platforms can be set up to work on it. It can achieve communication coverage in a larger area and expand its application range.

In terms of Earth observation,

Due to their proximity to the ground, stratospheric platforms can provide higher resolution and accuracy than satellite observations! Moreover, compared with satellites placed in the universe, the stratospheric platform is not only low-cost, but also has high mobility, which can maneuver to the sky over the disaster area when disaster strikes. Set up a temporary monitoring and communication system.

And stratospheric flying chess can also solve the problems of wireless network coverage, earth remote sensing imaging, space observation, atmospheric measurement, resource monitoring and military reconnaissance on a global scale.

All of the above are a bit of a stratospheric vehicle feature.

Of course, it has its own shortcomings. First of all, due to the thin air in the stratosphere and the huge configuration of the stratospheric aerostat, the response of its actuator is slow.

But this problem is definitely not a problem for Cheng Yuan.

The slow execution is because of the information transmission program, and this aspect is naturally not bad.

The only trouble is the main cable connecting the aircraft to the ground.

It is the only disadvantage of this design, but it cannot be improved, but this thing is not a big disadvantage for Cheng Yuan, after all, it is a civilian device. Don't need to worry too much.

There are disadvantages, and naturally there are advantages.

Aircraft located in the stratosphere can use their own light gas to enter the stratosphere by net buoyancy. To fly or stay.

Also, stratospheric launch does not require a special launch vehicle like a rocket, and has the advantages of recoverable maintenance, redeployment and low cost. Again, the stratospheric aircraft is higher, much higher than the average plane and helicopter, and there is no possibility of collision.

As long as the cable distribution is properly planned in advance, it will not affect the flight of the aircraft.

These advantages and disadvantages have basically been studied by countless people over and over again.

But research is always research, and everything is just a fantasy until the finished product is produced.

now. Cheng Yuan suddenly brought up this matter, and Ma Zhicheng was shocked.

Not to mention the stratospheric power station proposed by Cheng Yuan. Power plants aside, put this technology to work on the projects in mind. This will definitely bring about a huge change in the whole of China.

Seeing Ma Zhicheng looking like he had seen a ghost, Cheng Yuan shrugged indifferently. He was used to this kind of gaze.

Whether it was Dabai, the gene enhancer, or the Z1 robot, everyone looked at them like this. In Cheng Yuan's opinion, as long as the other party got used to it, their mentality would naturally return to normal.

Yang Qiaoyuan was like this at the beginning, and now he hears that he has new technology, except for the surprise, there is no difference.

Can you help me get in touch? Cheng Yuan saw that Ma Zhicheng hadn't recovered, so he couldn't help but remind him.

Ma Zhicheng was startled, came back to his senses, and nodded quickly: Yes! Of course this is possible, but I still need to report this matter, otherwise... Ma Zhicheng looked at Cheng Yuan with some embarrassment.

This is no problem, anyway, this technology is not a shameful thing. Cheng Yuan said.

Seeing Cheng Yuan's indifferent look, Ma Zhicheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said solemnly: Mr. Cheng, perhaps for a genius like you, this may be a very common technology, but we must keep such technology secret!

Cheng Yuan was stunned and said, As for it? He couldn't figure it out. This kind of technology doesn't seem to be too advanced. I heard that Russia and the United States have already conducted in-depth research on airships, and they want to come to their own country. It won't be much worse.

Seeing Cheng Yuan's ignorant look, Ma Zhicheng smiled bitterly: Mr. Cheng, you may not understand that sending an airship to the stratosphere is what every country wants to do today. But no country can do it stably. , do you know why?

Cheng Yuan's head naturally reacted quickly after several developments. He didn't understand it before because he didn't pay much attention to this aspect of technology. When he saw Ma Zhicheng like this, he understood that this was not in his eyes. The unremarkable technology is something that can make other countries excited!

General commercial aircraft fly in the stratosphere at most 8 kilometers to 10 kilometers in the sky, because the upper part of the stratosphere is the area where ozone is most concentrated in the atmosphere, forming the ozone layer, and the ozone layer will absorb ultraviolet rays with shorter wavelengths, so advection The upper part of the layer is hot, the lower part is relatively low temperature, the vertical movement of the air is not significant, and the aircraft will not be disturbed during flight, which is beneficial to flight safety.

If it is too high, because the high temperature will have a certain impact on the fuselage of the aircraft, except that the space shuttle can fly at an altitude of 2 kilometers, ordinary aircraft cannot do this at all, but if the space shuttle is placed on it to perform this kind of task, it is simply Just like buying a bottle of mineral water with 100 yuan, more money!

So, airships became an option.

But such a high distance is a huge test for the material of the airship itself, and the temperature, pressure, and airbag control all require a precise calculation.

Whether the airship can fly at high altitude, the control of net buoyancy is particularly critical, and the net buoyancy is the weight of the airship itself, the air density and the volume of the air bag, as well as the density of helium and the volume of the helium bag, which are inseparable from the atmospheric pressure of the external environment. relation.

As I said before, due to height and volume issues, the slowness of the airship at high altitude makes it difficult to control the airship. Once the control is wrong, the consequences of the airship are self-evident.

Therefore, an excellent air pressure controller is a problem that must be solved.

Second, they needed a high-strength material to withstand the high pressure differentials in the upper atmosphere, and that material wasn't too heavy! The main thing is that building a large-scale power station on such a basis makes the level of difficulty even higher.

To be clear, every time the weight of the airship itself increases, the airbag inside the airship needs to be adjusted, and the control of the internal air pressure also requires a full range of conversions.

This is simply pulling one hair and moving the whole body.

Therefore, the design of an airship is very complicated, and it needs to calculate too many things.

Although there has been news of the test flight of stratospheric airships both abroad and in China, this short flight can't prove anything at all, and these test airships will not let you add a large power station below the flight. It can be said that is the same thing as a 'burden'.

Therefore, Cheng Yuan's power station located in the flat process is just two words dream for today's technology.

Maybe such a technology will come out in a few decades, but definitely not now.

But accidents can always be seen everywhere. Research in this area has just started in various countries. Cheng Yuan has already shown here that he already has mature technology!

Who will not be sluggish after hearing such news? Not shocking? Not surprised?

After understanding Ma Zhicheng's thoughts, Cheng Yuan suddenly realized, and said, It's okay to keep it secret, but this thing is for civilian use after all. If the top wants to expand this technology to the military, there is nothing we can do. Since the top may take it seriously, Cheng Yuan felt that it was better to say hello in advance, otherwise it would take more effort.

Ma Zhicheng couldn't tell the complexity in his heart. Looking at Cheng Yuan's indifferent expression, he finally understood why Cheng Yuan was so highly valued by the top!

He is simply a humanoid treasure trove!

Ma Zhicheng smiled bitterly and said, You should tell the person above you personally about this matter. All I can do is to contact you about the airship. You still need to solve the specific issues yourself.

Cheng Yuan nodded.

When the two negotiated the basics of the airship, the outside world started a war of words because of the grounding of the aircraft carrier. (To be continued.) Website URL: Please support this site!
