Rule department scholar

This is his view of time.

If you put it on the outside, even 30 years is normal, and even if it can be manufactured in 30 years, it is already a remarkable thing.

Not to mention the huge spacecraft project, even some relatively small projects, such as the development of a military weapon, some countries and institutions need more than ten years or decades, and it may not be completely completed .

But no matter what, Zhao Yi really felt very free.

Zhao Yi is very interested in exploring the universe, and he can't wait for it.

Therefore, after returning to Zhengyang, he began to stay in the R&D department of Yixing Technology for a long time, doing technical public relations with others.

When Zhao Yi sits in charge of technical research and development, the research and development department of Yixing Technology becomes very efficient.

In just three months, they have made seven major technological breakthroughs and set new technological goals.

At the same time, Yixing Technology has applied for sixteen patents in a row, all of which are very heavyweight patents in aviation, including six materials research patents, two computer-related patents, one power technology patent, and the others are mechanical and electronic. patent.

this day.

Zhao Yi was staying in the office when Zhou Zhikun from the technical department came in, submitted a document report, and then said, "Academician Zhao, we have made a lot of progress recently, and according to the original plan, we can move on to the next step. "

"Next step?"

Zhao Yidao, "Manager Zhou, what do you mean, you can start designing the spaceship?"

"Yeah. I remember the original meeting, that's how it was decided."

Zhao Yi nodded after thinking, and then said, "But our research and development relies on the spaceship project—"

"wrong!"

Zhao Yi suddenly thought of a question.

When Yixing Technology was first established, it was considered to make up for the lack of research and development related to small spaceships. It hoped to manufacture functional small spaceships that could be carried on large spaceships. The main reason was that small spaceships could not carry nuclear fusion devices, and the power became Big problem.

But the spaceship program will be delayed for a long time.

Before that?

Is it necessary to accumulate technology for several years before researching and designing small spaceships?

If it is a functional small spacecraft, it is actually possible to manufacture a spacecraft that can travel to and from the earth and perform a single mission.

"It makes sense!"

"If it is to manufacture a small spaceship that completes the task alone, it does not need long-lasting power. For example, when it is launched into the sky, it can be assisted by anti-gravity thrusters, which can greatly reduce energy consumption."

"Small spacecraft can rely on their own energy to reach the moon, so reaching Mars is not a problem. It can be designed to be more energy-efficient, so that the spacecraft can go to and from Mars."

Zhao Yi thought about it.

If it is waiting for the spacecraft project, it will be too time-consuming.

Until then, it is possible to design spacecraft that are functionally designed to perform missions.

"Let me think about it." Zhao Yi and Zhou Zhikun said, and then dialed Liu Jiankun's phone number and asked about the opening of the Aviation Group and the Space Administration to Yixing Technology.

When Yixing Technology was first established, it had already determined the technologies to be shared, including anti-gravity technology and anti-energy barrier technology, but it certainly did not include Z-wave technology.

Because the shared technology does not include Z-wave technology, small spacecraft cannot complete space shuttle alone.

Now, if we want to design a functional spaceship for carrying out missions, we must not avoid the problem of Z-wave technology, so we need to ask Liu Jiankun whether he can apply for the use of Z-wave generation technology.

Liu Jiankun's answer was, "It is necessary to make a report to the superior, and the manufacture and installation of the Z-wave device shall be in charge of the whole process by the relevant department."

"In addition, the spacecraft must accept unconditional supervision during its mission."

This involves confidentiality.

If other companies apply for the use of Z-wave generation technology, it is almost impossible to apply, but Yixing Technology is different, because the company itself is under the aviation group, and the technology developed is to make up for the lack of small spacecraft, and the application for use is confidential. Technical components can also pass the audit.

Of course.

In fact, the premise of everything is that Yixing Technology is the company that Zhao Yi is in charge of. If it were someone else, even Liu Jiankun would not be able to apply.

Zhao Yi quickly applied to his superiors and gave a detailed explanation.

On the same day, a high-level leader called to inquire. Zhao Yi explained it carefully and immediately agreed, "As long as there is no problem with confidentiality, there is no problem."

"Academician Zhao, I heard that you plan to build a small spaceship first?"

"Yes, it's too slow to wait for the spaceship." Zhao Yi complained, and then said, "I intend to let the company make a functional small spaceship first, which can be regarded as helping the spaceship to explore technology."

"—!!"

The senior leaders didn't know what to say for a while.

The country is rushing to discuss the manufacture of large spaceships. Spaceships are designed to realize space shuttles. As a result, a company under an aviation group is planning to develop small spaceships that can directly carry out space shuttles. Small spaceships certainly do not have nuclear fusion technology.

So--

What if it works?

It was indeed an exploration for the manufacture of spaceships, but it still felt weird anyway.

However, the high-level leaders didn't say anything. Many experts analyzed it together. Without the energy provided by the nuclear power plant, the spacecraft would not have the energy to travel directly into space.

Therefore, he thinks that Zhao Yi is just planning to explore technology.Applying for the use of Z-wave generation technology is only for experimentation.

This is also normal.

After all, Yixing Technology is a company engaged in the research and development of small spaceships, and it definitely needs Z-wave devices to assist in technical experiments.

Chapter 627 Whimsical question!

The experts around the high-level leaders are not all freelancers. They have conducted a series of analyzes on the space shuttle experiment, participated in the demonstration of the design of the spacecraft, and conducted detailed research and discussions on the energy consumption of the space shuttle. It is concluded that a small spaceship cannot travel through space without a large energy power system.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration conducted a space shuttle experiment. From the wave generator to the small spaceship, most of them were designed by Zhao Yi.

Then the energy consumption of the experimental process is also of great reference value.

The small spacecraft at that time could only open the anti-energy barrier and shuttle to the moon with the assistance of the Z-wave generator installed on the space station.

Then, there is no coming back.

Because there is no energy support, the anti-gravity device is directly abandoned.

Therefore, it is simply impractical to install a Z-wave generator on a small spacecraft.

If it is to build a super-large spaceship, most of the space is used to load energy, which will consume a lot of cost. Large-scale spaceships are of high quality and energy consumption will increase relatively. Not to mention the high cost, it may not be able to complete the task.

In short, without the support of large-scale energy devices, it is almost impossible for a spacecraft to use the Z-wave generator alone, and then open the anti-energy barrier to complete the space shuttle.

Of course, Zhao Yi also knew that it was impossible to manufacture a small spaceship using Z-wave devices.

Before, he had carefully calculated that it would not be possible at all, otherwise a small spaceship would be able to complete it, and he would not consider building a large spaceship.

Now I am applying to the superior to use the Z-wave generation technology. In fact, it is not to install this wave generator on a small spacecraft, but to directly generate a long-awaited Z-wave in space like a generator on a space station. Satellites happen.

With the assistance of Z-wave generating satellites, small spacecraft can travel to Mars through space shuttle.

Considering that small spaceships need to make round trips, it is necessary to launch a similar Z-wave generating satellite in orbit around Mars.

With two Z-wave generating satellites, one orbiting the earth and the other orbiting Mars, both can release Z-waves to assist small spaceships to complete the shuttle.

This is equivalent to establishing a waterway from the earth to Mars.

Zhao Yi believes that the idea of ​​building a waterway is very likely to be realized. There are already solar-powered Z-wave generating satellites.

The Z-wave generation satellites that are needed now are just more powerful.

"Build a bigger one?"

When doing in-depth calculations and thinking, Zhao Yi discovered a very big technical problem. He needed to manufacture a larger Z-wave generating satellite, but found that the required power was too high.

Zhao Yi began to calculate carefully.

The power of ordinary satellites generating this wave is only about one-seventh of that of satellites occurring on the space sheet, and the power difference is still very large.

If it is to build a compressed space channel to reach Mars, the Z-wave generation power should be increased by at least eight times.

Seven times and eight times, it seems that the difference is not very big. Compared with the difference between the distance between the earth and the moon and the distance between the earth and fire, it can be said to be negligible, but energy consumption is not calculated in this way.

In fact, the distance, ratio, and distance of space compression are very small. If there is nothing in space, not even tiny particles, then there is no difference between traveling [-] million kilometers and [-] kilometers.

It can be understood in this way that an object that is not subjected to any external force moves at a uniform speed on a plane. There is no difference between walking one kilometer under inertia and ten kilometers, because it will not consume any energy for walking at all. .

The same goes for space compression.

Because the Z-wave itself does not react with the space, most of the energy of the particles that react directly will be absorbed by the particles.

Without any particles, the compression distance and ratio are infinite.

"However, eight times is still too high!"

The data calculated by Zhao Yi is that only relying on solar energy to charge, at most a Z-wave generating satellite with twice the power can be manufactured.

The principle of Z-wave is to use space to squeeze particles to create a strong magnetic field. When the magnetic field reaches a critical value, it releases energy instantly and then converts it into Z-wave.

The principle of the Z-wave generation satellite is to use solar energy to continuously charge the magnetic field, and at the same time maintain the magnetic field. Maintaining the magnetic field requires energy consumption. When the energy consumption and charging energy reach a balance, it is equal to the completion of charging. .

At this time, turn off the device that maintains the magnetic field, and the magnetic field will instantly explode with energy and release Z waves in a fixed direction.

The key to everything is the charging power.

It can be said that the Z-wave generating satellite is a perfect design under the existing technology.

No matter how perfect Zhao Yi wanted to be, he couldn't do it. What he couldn't do was to increase the size and number of solar panels, which could directly and effectively increase the power.

However, there is a problem that it consumes a lot of energy to maintain the magnetic field inside the satellite where the Z wave occurs. The higher the magnetic field strength, the greater the energy consumption. Moreover, the energy consumption and the magnetic field strength are not simply proportional, which can be understood as , the higher the magnetic field strength, the energy consumption will increase exponentially.

"The Z-wave power is eight times higher, the magnetic field strength is about four point two times higher, and the maintenance energy consumption is high—"

"More than thirteen times!"

"That is to say, it is necessary to increase the number of solar panels by more than thirteen times, so that the Z-wave with sufficient overpower can barely be generated."

"That number is too high!"

Zhao Yi looked at the numbers and kept shaking his head. The design of the Z-wave generating satellite is good enough, and it is surrounded by solar panels, which can be said to maximize the efficiency of absorbing solar energy.

If it is to double the amount, it is barely achievable, and it is almost impossible to increase it by more than [-] times.

By then, the size of the Z-wave satellite will be able to catch up with the space station, or even larger than the space station.

In addition, as the size and mass of satellites increase, the energy consumption of internal circuits and magnetic field requirements will also increase accordingly.

The final design of the Z-wave satellite will definitely be larger than the space station, and the cost will be very scary.

This is not feasible.

Another problem is that the charging time is also a problem. It takes several months for the Z-wave to recharge the satellite.

If a real channel is established, it takes a few months to complete a charge, allowing a small spaceship to pass through, and the efficiency is really too low.

Of course, just thinking about doing an experiment, time is no longer an issue.

Zhao Yi wanted to make it more perfect, instead of creating a chicken rib that could only be tested once.

After all, Yixing Technology is a formal enterprise, not an institution specializing in experiments, and the cost issue must be considered. Any experimental research must consider the cost, so the power issue must still be solved.

Zhao Yi thought about it carefully, and knew that he still had to start from the perspective of energy.

Nuclear fusion devices are impossible.

The conversion rate of fossil energy is too low and the transportation cost is too high to be feasible.

"Solar energy is the only option." Zhao Yi came to a definite conclusion.

Zhao Yi still has a certain understanding of solar panel technology, and he knew almost everything when designing Z-wave generation satellites.

At present, monocrystalline silicon panels are used on satellites, which are also the most efficient solar panels, and the energy conversion rate can reach more than 20.00%.

"If it's compressed monocrystalline silicon—"

Zhao Yi immediately made several phone calls in a row, contacted the Z-wave material experiment group, also contacted the space agency and related laboratories, and got an accurate answer.

The Z-wave material experiment group has already carried out the compression of single crystal silicon.

The monocrystalline silicon material that is compressed five times is used to manufacture solar panels. The corresponding experimental conclusion is that the solar energy conversion rate of the panels made of compressed monocrystalline silicon exceeds 40.00%.

This is a staggering number.

At present, the solar panels with the highest technical level in the world have an energy conversion rate of only about 20.00%.

The energy conversion rate is a figure that is difficult to increase, because in any reaction process, some energy will be lost.

The solar panel itself, for the reflection of the sun's rays, is enough to consume more than half of the energy.
