"If the experiment is done on the ground, one day of preparation is enough, and it doesn't cost much."

"To ensure safety, what we need is a spaceship, a spaceship that can open the anti-energy barrier, and keep the spaceship as far away from the earth as possible, so we can start the experiment."

"Our requirements for the experiment are not high, just a simple verification, so whether it is a Z-wave generator or a space link device, the simplest one can be used."

The others nodded in thought, with expectant looks in their eyes.

Edward Witten asked, "So, what about the spaceship? I know that Yixing has a spaceship, but I don't know about the others."

"So does the space agency."

Zhao Yidao, "There should be four spaceships in China that can open the anti-energy barrier, Yixing has one, the space agency has one, the anti-gravity team also has an experimental spaceship, and there are spaceships."

The spacecraft will definitely not be used for experiments, because it cannot afford to lose it.

The experimental spacecraft of the anti-gravity team may not meet the technical performance standards, because most of them are engaged in near-Earth experiments and have no space shuttle experience.

This technical substandard is mainly reflected in the electronic system.

Because the hardware has already been installed, it is very complicated to upgrade the electronic system, and it needs to be specially written and upgraded.

This process takes a long time.

So the spacecraft of the anti-gravity team can also be ignored, and the rest are the spacecraft of Yixing and the space agency.

Yixing's spacecraft is the one that carried out the mission to Mars, and its performance is still very good. After returning to Earth, it has been repaired and maintained, and has been parked in the launch and manufacturing base to which Yixing belongs.

This spaceship will not have missions for a short time, and is most suitable for experimental missions.

The space agency also has a newly built spacecraft. They refer to Yixing’s spacecraft technology, because it is newly built, making up for some of the technologies that appeared in Yixing’s Mars-1 spacecraft, which is insufficient, and increases the space. It can also be used as a carrier ship.

The construction of this spacecraft is to prepare for future emergency missions.

For example, if there is a problem with the moon base, spaceships can be used for rapid support.

Or, if there is a problem with the spaceship, the spaceship can also be used for emergency rescue.

and many more.

To put it bluntly, it is a spaceship used for space rescue. After it is built, there will be no mission for the time being, and it can also be used for experiments.

Zhao Yi still prefers to use the spacecraft of the space agency, because the research they do is directly related to Z waves and space transmission, which is to analyze space and study the mysteries of particle transmission.

In a word, this is a scientific research project of basic theory, not research done for Yixing.

Of course, the certification of this kind of research cannot be funded by Yixing, and Yixing has no reason to pay for a spaceship for this.

You must know that the value of a spacecraft is more than 50 billion, which is only the basic price of manufacture, and does not include the technical value in it.

If the spacecraft is sold abroad, it can even be easily sold for 200 billion.

So it is better to use the spacecraft of the space agency.

After a few people in the theoretical group discussed it, they wrote the experiment application materials together, because they were in the building of the Science and Technology Department. After writing the application materials, they sent them directly to Director Liu, the leader of the Science and Technology Department.

When Zhao Yi went to deliver the application materials, he just handed them to Minister Liu, and even chatted with Minister Liu for a few words, probably about hard work or something.

Director Liu didn't take it too seriously, so he returned to the office safely, made a cup of tea and watched slowly, and just watched for a minute before he spit out the water in one gulp.

"what!"

"Apply to use the space agency's spaceship for experiments? And the experiments may be very dangerous, such as a big bang?"

"Then, there is a certain probability that the spaceship will never return?"

"This--"

Minister Liu couldn't sit still for a while, so he simply called the senior leaders to report and talked about the experimental application materials he had received.

Two hours later, the high-level leaders came, and at the same time Deng Long, the head of the space agency, and several other leaders and experts, etc., will listen to the research report and experiment application of the theoretical group.

Zhang Qican was the first to speak and said, "We analyzed the mathematical logic of particle transmission from multiple angles."

"After our research, the space is finally described as a basic 'empty' composition."

"The density of holes is fixed, and at the same time, holes are constantly jumping—"

He talked about the achievements of several people.

Later, Qiu Chengwen and Edward Witten explained the mathematical logic of the existence of voids from the existing physical theory and M-theory framework.

What Qiu Chengwen said is better. Whether it is the speed of light, Einstein's theory, or other related physical theories, many people know it. Using this to explain the empty hypothesis will also convince people to a certain extent.

Edward Witten is different. He also knows that the mathematics of string theory is very complicated, so he just finds some simple ones, and some difficult ones are staggered.

Even if it is simple in his opinion, it is completely incomprehensible to most people.

Even top mathematicians and theoretical physicists have never studied string theory, and it is very difficult to hear what he said.

After Edward Witten finished his speech, the meeting was quiet for a while.

Several leaders applauded vigorously, and the others followed suit. The senior leader coughed lightly and said, "As expected of a Fields winner, he is considered the most influential theoretical physics scientist in recent decades. A scholar, what Mr. Witten said is profound."

Edward Witten sat down happily, he seemed to feel that everyone recognized his speech.

Zhao Yi reminded in a low voice, "When the leader doesn't understand, he will say so."

"—?"

Edward Witten didn't react for a while, but Qiu Chengwen next to him couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Then it was Zhao Yi's turn.

Zhao Yi made the final summary. He explained the importance of the experiment from the perspective of the latest technology. "Our last experiment had a suspected small hydrogen bomb explosion. I believe you all know about it."

"As far as I can tell, the reason for that surprise is because of particle stripping and particle transport."

"Particles are stripped from the nucleus and teleported under special circumstances. They collide together in a vacuum and a nuclear fusion reaction occurs."

"This is obviously not a normal situation, so we set up a theoretical group to do research."

"Now our research has some results, but we are not sure whether these results are correct. We use experimental methods to verify, but at the same time, the experiments we designed cannot guarantee safety."

"This experiment will create a region where even space exists. If the experiment is successful, we don't know what will happen. Because of this, we apply for spaceships to complete the experiment in the desired universe."

"The best result is that the experiment is successful, and there are no accidents, and the spacecraft can return normally."

"Once an accident occurs, the spacecraft may not be able to return."

"But no matter what, this experiment can directly verify our results, and it is worth paying more, because once the experiment is successful, we may have a better understanding of space and use it to develop new technologies."

The last sentence is quite convincing.

The latest technology researched by Zhao Yi, including anti-gravity technology, Z-wave, space link technology, compressed materials, etc., covers the fields of space exploration, military technology, information transmission and materials, each of which is crushed in related fields Advanced technology, and created a steady stream of ultra-high profits, and it is precisely by virtue of these key technologies that China can achieve foreign technological suppression and deterrence.

Every latest technology can be said to be the foundation of domestic development.

Losing a spacecraft is nothing compared to the emergence of a new technology.

The top leaders were immediately moved.

Zheng Long, the person in charge of the space agency, certainly doesn't think so. Of course he knows how important a new technology is, but the spacecraft used in the experiment is not irreplaceable.

The new spacecraft manufactured by the space agency can be said to be his sweetheart.

This is the most high-end technology, very expensive compression materials, and is equipped with a very high-end electronic system, and the various devices and equipment inside are also the best.

Although the established mission of the spacecraft is space rescue, because of its superb performance, it can also do some other work and complete some very important tasks.

For example, planet exploration.

If we now have a more efficient Z-wave satellite, we can use the space channel to directly span more than 1 astronomical units to explore planets outside the solar system.

It would be too heartbreaking to lose such an ultra-high-performance spacecraft in an experiment, and it would take a lot of time and effort to recreate a spacecraft.

So Zheng Long put forward a different opinion, "As far as I know, Yixing is also a spaceship, and it has done Mars exploration missions, so it should be able to meet the experimental needs, right?"

Zhao Yi nodded and said, "Yixing's spaceship is also available, but this is not Yixing's project."

He was very straightforward.

Because Yixing is a company operating normally, it is impossible to lose an ultra-high-value spaceship of the company for the sake of basic theoretical research.

The problem here is that the technology developed by the Institute of Basic Theory does not completely belong to him personally, or to Yixing.

The theory group is the research and development group of the Science and Technology Department.

No matter what kind of technology can be developed, it may not necessarily be a secret technology in the latest technological field, and the main ownership will be owned by the country. Because of this, it is totally unreasonable to use Yixing's spaceship for the experiment.

Of course Zheng Long also understands this, he smiled and said, "Mr. Zhao, you misunderstood me. In fact, what I want to say is that China can buy Yixing's spacecraft and use it directly for experiments."

He stood up and said to others, "Our newly built spacecraft is very high-end, even better than the Mars-1 spacecraft. If there is a problem with the experiment, it would be a pity to damage it directly, and Mars-1 has carried out Mars exploration missions. Said that there are no other tasks now, and if you want to use it, you need to upgrade it to a certain extent, and it is perfect for experiments."

"So we can pay for Yixing's spaceship, I believe Yixing will not refuse."

Of course not, if the price is right.

Zhao Yi knew that the manufacturing cost of Mars-1 was about five billion.

So does the space agency.

So the meeting decided that the space agency and Yixing will discuss the purchase of the Mars-1 spacecraft, and then refit it for the upcoming experiment.

After the meeting ended, Zheng Long and Zhao Yi walked out side by side, and whispered, "Academician Zhao, the cost of your spaceship is about [-] million, right? If it is used for experiments, the price-"

He didn't finish his sentence, the meaning was already very clear, he just wanted to come over and bargain.

Zhao Yi shook his head and said, "Yixing and the space agency often cooperate, we are old acquaintances, friends, right?"

Zheng Long nodded in doubt.

Zhao Yidao, "Friends, I definitely won't cheat you. What's more, Yixing and the space agency will definitely have a lot of cooperation in the future. There will be a lot of technical exchanges, and there will be a lot of business contacts."

"So the specific price of the spacecraft is still to be discussed. The manufacturing cost of Mars-1 is indeed 1 billion, but the selling price will definitely be more expensive, because Mars-[-] has performed exploration missions and proved the safety and reliability of the spacecraft. and stability."

"I will not participate in this negotiation, but I estimate that the selling price should be less than 1 billion, mainly because Mars-[-] is really not necessary for Yixing, and there is no mission for the time being."

"But don't worry."

Zhao Yi finally added, "The space agency may not necessarily lose money if they buy it, because the probability of a major safety risk in this experiment is very small."

"While we're saying it's serious, it's only because there's a probability, and the probability isn't high."

"The interior of Mars-1 will be equipped with compressed materials. Even if it is to deal with the last small explosion, because it is blocked by the space cover, it will not be directly damaged. Therefore, after the experiment is over, Mars-1 has a high probability. Can return to Earth normally."

Zheng Long was overjoyed when he heard this, and then immediately asked, "I thought I would never come back after doing the experiment, so it turned out to be the case! Academician Zhao, what do you think is the probability of coming back?"

Zhao Yi hesitated for a moment, and said, "I can't guarantee this, it's hard to say."

"That's good."

"how?"

"You can sign an agreement with Yixing. If the experiment is damaged, Yixing can make corresponding compensation, and the selling price can be negotiated normally."

"This is good!" Zheng Long was immediately satisfied.

If there is an accident in the experiment and the spacecraft cannot return normally, there will be a certain amount of financial compensation, which can be regarded as making up for the loss to a certain extent.

Otherwise, buying Yi Xing's spaceship will certainly not be a loss!

Although the manufacturing cost is only 50 billion, the performance of the spacecraft is very good, and it has performed missions to ensure safety and stability. It is not a loss to buy it for 100 billion.

Chapter 688 Visiting the Moon Base Vehicle

The special experiment meeting for the declaration was over, and those who knew the news all focused their attention on the experiment, and the experiment became very popular.

At the same time, the theoretical group of the experiment also needs to submit a risk assessment report.

This was unexpected by Zhao Yi and others.

But it is normal to think about it carefully, because the cost of the experiment will be very high. If the spacecraft is not lost, the experiment will cost hundreds of millions of yuan. Once the spacecraft is damaged, the cost will be close to tens of billions of yuan.

In addition, the theory team kept emphasizing the possible dangers of the experiment, which also made the senior leaders attach great importance to it. They hoped to know the probability of an extremely dangerous situation.

Zhao Yi, Qiu Chengwen, Edward Witten, and Zhang Qican all rested for one night, and came to the workshop together the next day to make an assessment report on the danger of the experiment.

In effect, what they do is study 'what happens' in the experiment.

"The emergence of an extremely dangerous situation in the experiment is mainly reflected in the success of the experiment."

"If the experiment is successful, we will know a region without even space. This region is oppressed by the outside, and anything is possible."

"However, in fact, because of the blocking of the anti-gravity barrier, even if there is a huge explosion, the energy of the explosion at that moment will be absorbed, and the remaining energy will be placed in space, so it is difficult to create much threat."

Zhao Yi made a brief summary, and then said, "So what we have to do is to analyze what might happen if the experiment is successful."

This problem is solved very well.
