Assuming that the experiment is successful, there must be loopholes, and several people quickly summed up the important points.

Qiu Chengwen was the first to say something, "If there is a strong pressure, it may cause the internal equipment to explode, triggering the explosion of the entire spacecraft."

"It is not only the pressure that causes danger, but also the possibility of violent nuclear fusion reactions."

"Your last experiment was to transmit the compressed space to the vacuum environment at the other end, and the particles were stripped off, thereby triggering nuclear fusion. Now, there is no space compression at one end of the legend, but because the space at the other end is not Existence, there may also be a situation where the particles are peeled off, which will trigger a more violent nuclear fusion explosion."

This is an important danger point.

Zhang Qican said, "It's also possible that nothing will happen. Our understanding of space is still very little. Even if we build a region where there is no space, it may only be similar to the environment at the edge of the universe. I think the edge of the universe is not very It may have exploded due to space expansion."

"There is another possibility that nothing will happen, the space link equipment is operating normally, but the efficiency has been improved, that's all."

"However, to be honest, I don't really want to see this result." Zhang Qican shook his head and smiled, "I believe you are the same, although it has been confirmed that our research direction is correct, but the experimental conclusion is exactly the same as imagined, It can only provide a theoretical direction.”

The other three thought so too.

The experimental method used to determine the research direction is correct, of course it is a good result, but what they want to see is 'abnormal'.

When there are abnormalities, it is certain that there are some unknown things, and it is very worthwhile to continue to study and explore.

Qiu Chengwen and Zhang Qican talked about several possibilities together.

The next few people demonstrated the possibility of extreme danger together, and finally found that the highest probability was only [-]%.

This is the estimated value calculated by inductive mathematics.

"If the experiment is done on the ground, the probability of extreme danger is no higher than [-]%, but the probability of extreme danger will be greatly reduced when the experiment is carried out in space far away from the earth."

"So we don't have to worry about doing experiments in space."

Even if it is an experiment in space, there is still the possibility of extreme danger, but the reality is a matter of probability.

Just like some asteroids may hit the earth, the probability will be less than [-]%, or even smaller.

This probability is almost negligible, and it is impossible to make targeted and large-scale countermeasures or stop an important scientific research because of such a dangerous probability event.

After several people made an agreement, they submitted the report.

Senior leaders saw the report and put it down.

Such a small probability can indeed be ignored, and we can start to look forward to the experimental results.

After the review of the risk assessment report was completed, the space agency also quickly started negotiations with Yixing on the Mars-1 spacecraft, and the two parties quickly reached an agreement on the price.

The final price was set at 93 billion yuan.

This price is completely acceptable to the space agency, because they think it is acceptable for less than 1 billion, and of course Yixing is also acceptable. The performance of the Mars-[-] spacecraft is very good. It has completed the Mars exploration mission, which proves the stability and safety of the spacecraft.

The latter is worth billions of dollars.

If the spacecraft is sold abroad, the transaction price should be at least 200 billion. However, with the technical precision of Mars-1, it is impossible to be allowed to sell abroad, and the buyer can only be the space agency, so 200 billion is not a consideration. .

In addition, it is not very useful for Yixing to keep the Mars-1 spacecraft. The lunar base plan will not use the Mars-1 spacecraft, and what they need is a brand new functional spacecraft, not a spacecraft for planetary exploration. Mars-1 The spaceship becomes tasteless.

Not only is it unusable, but it also requires continuous payment of high maintenance fees.

Therefore, selling Mars-1 to the space agency is the best choice.

The transaction price of 93 billion is enough for Yi Xing to make a fortune.

Although the Mars-1 spacecraft was sold to the space agency, it is still parked at the launch base that Yixing belongs to. A few people from the theoretical team will go to the Z-wave team and people from space information technology to transform the Mars-1 spacecraft together. .

Zhao Yi took Qiu Chengwen, Edward Witten and others to the launch base of Yixing. They said it was a launch base, but it was actually the place where the spaceships and equipment of Yixing were placed. Many companies used compressed materials and built them. All small spaceships will be placed here for a short period of time.

Because some members of the technical team have not yet arrived, they visited the materials and equipment prepared for the lunar base plan, as well as the most important lunar base vehicle.

The lunar base vehicle has been built and placed in the launch base.

Zhao Yi met the astronauts Deng Jian and Zhang Wenhua who were on the moon base mission.

Deng Jian is only 35 years old, and he is relatively young among astronauts. He graduated from a top military school in China and has a master's degree in ground machinery.

After graduation, Deng Jian has been working for the military. After reaching a certain working age, he participated in the selection of astronauts and began to receive aerospace-related training.

However, he did not receive long training, and the space agency reached an agreement with Yixing, and he joined Yixing Company.

Among the astronauts belonging to Yixing, Deng Jian is relatively young, and his training performance is not the best, but because he has done research on ground armor and is very proficient in mechanical related fields, he directly found out about the lunar base plan. over him.

Deng Jian agreed excitedly after hearing the mission description.

What he hopes most is to become a real astronaut and take part in a major space exploration mission.

Now, here's your chance.

In the training of astronauts, his performance is not the best, but his current job is not training astronauts, but going to the moon and driving a lunar rover to help find a location that is most suitable for establishing a lunar base.

This job is perfect for him.

Think about it.

After the lunar base is built in the future, when talking about the location of the base, the name 'Deng Jian' will come to mind, and he feels very excited and looking forward to it.

Of course, there are still challenges.

This mission requires astronauts to live on the moon for a long time, maybe a month, two months, maybe longer.

Two people, one car, driving alone on the moon, think about it, it is still very stressful.

Another astronaut named Zhang Wenhua has not experienced major missions, but he is a frequent visitor to the 'anti-gravity spacecraft'.

He has more experience than Deng Jian, and his training performance is better.

Therefore, Zhang Wenhua is also the captain.

Zhao Yi met Zhang Wenhua and Deng Jian. It wasn't the first time he saw them, but it was the first time he explained his work. He asked directly, "You should know about this mission, right? Do you regret it now? Regret it now Before it's too late, we can re-elect."

"Don't!"

Deng Jian became anxious immediately, "It's already agreed that it's us, so we can just come."

Zhang Wenhua also said, "Academician Zhao, we have no regrets! Now we are ready and just waiting for the order to go."

Zhao Yi smiled and said, "You don't need to be so formal, it's just a joke."

"This mission is indeed very important, but you don't have to worry about it. If there is any problem in the middle, we can ask the aviation agency to send support. They have built a spacecraft specially used for support, which can directly space shuttle to the moon."

"Now you should know the moon base vehicle very well, right? Come and introduce it to us."

Zhao Yi came here to see the lunar base vehicle.

Although the lunar base vehicle was designed by him, it was the first time he saw the real finished product. Other operational things were designed by other people, and he didn't know much about it.

Now Zhang Wenhua and Deng Jian are here mainly to learn how to operate the lunar base vehicle.

They not only need to be familiar with the operation method, but also have a comprehensive understanding of the lunar base vehicle, so that in the event of an unexpected failure, they know where the problem is most likely to occur, so that they can make timely repairs, and not because only one person appears. Small problems can affect the task.

Next, Zhang Wenhua and Deng Jian began to introduce the lunar base vehicle to several people.

The function of the lunar base vehicle is very comprehensive. It can be said that it is a caravan on the moon, and it has its own oxygen generation and circulation equipment, which can allow astronauts to live for a long time.

The base vehicle has a lot of automatic control equipment, which amazed Edward Witten and Qiu Chengwen. They have been doing theoretical research for a long time, and this is the first time they have come into contact with such advanced mechanical equipment.

Edward Witten kept sighing, "This car is really too high-end."

"As expected of a lunar base vehicle, it can support life on the moon and communicate with the earth in real time."

"There's even an intelligent control system that doesn't have to do anything at all."

Zhao Yi just smiled after hearing this.

In fact, the core technology of the lunar base vehicle mainly has two points, one is solar power transmission technology, and the other is compressed materials.

The compressed material can ensure the protective ability of the lunar base vehicle, so that the astronauts and internal equipment will not be disturbed by external temperature and rays.

Solar energy transmission technology is the source of power for lunar base vehicles.

When the material problem is solved and the energy problem is solved, everything else is no longer a problem.

Chapter 689 Empty Hypothesis Verification Experiment

The technology of the lunar base vehicle that can make Edward Witten express such emotion is indeed very high-end, but the current lunar base vehicle is not perfect.

In the launch center to which Yixing belongs, the base vehicle is constantly being tested to ensure that all components can operate normally.

The current base vehicle has just been assembled for the first time, and it will be disassembled twice later, and some necessary equipment will be added during the process.

Foremost among these are safety and replacement devices such as solid fuel and special solid fuel generators.

This equipment is generally not used, and the solid fuel generator becomes a temporary alternative power source in the event of a solar transmission failure.

In addition, the base vehicle also needs to add two sets of tire devices, two high-tech tires, which can adapt to different environments, so as to ensure that the base vehicle can continue to operate in the harsh environment of the lunar surface.

Even if it encounters serious potholes or soft areas, the base vehicle can use the spare tire to leave the obstacle area and move on.

Such a high-end lunar base vehicle naturally requires corresponding manufacturing costs.

The cost of materials and equipment for the lunar base vehicle exceeds [-] million yuan, plus maintenance, maintenance, labor, electronic equipment, etc., the cost easily exceeds [-] million yuan. .

That's not all, and it doesn't take into account the value of software and intelligent systems.

Zhao Yi is also very satisfied with the lunar base vehicle designed by himself. He hopes to continue to improve it to ensure the safety of astronauts. At the same time, he also hopes that the base vehicle can play a certain role in the subsequent construction and use of the lunar base.

After visiting the lunar base vehicle, several members of the theory group began to work on the modification design of the spaceship.

The refitting of the spacecraft mainly involves adding several kinds of equipment, including small Z-wave devices and space link devices.

In addition, the spacecraft also needs to upgrade the automatic control system to ensure that the spacecraft can be controlled remotely more flexibly, and the newly added devices can operate intelligently.

This aspect requires Yixing's software team to do it.

Two days later.

The technical teams from the space information technology company and the Z-wave experimental group are here, and they will refit and design the spacecraft.

Yixing's computer team also came.

Zhao Yi immediately explained the work of the computer team, and came up with a designed general framework, allowing them to add new functions and targeted upgrades to the spacecraft's intelligent system.

The hardware modification of the spacecraft is relatively simple, just adding some equipment, and the follow-up work is to adjust the coverage of the equipment to ensure that the experiment is more refined.

The improvement and upgrading of electronic and intelligent systems will take a long time, at least half a month.

Of course, Zhao Yi would not spend half a month to build a software system. He just provided the framework and direction, and asked the computer team to write detailed codes. Afterwards, he continued to study the 'empty hypothesis' with several people in the theory team. '.

'Empty hypothesis', there are a lot of content to be studied, and it also needs multi-level detailed demonstration.

This can be continuously studied, using the empty hypothesis combined with various physical theories to perfect the properties of the empty.

Several people in the theory group are full of fighting spirit and devoted [-]% enthusiasm to the research work, because they specialize in theoretical research. Now there is a new theory in front of them, and it is a theory that can be tested immediately. Everyone is very excited. I also hope that it can be perfected as much as possible.

When the research continues to deepen, various problems will be encountered.

The problems encountered on this day were so big that they even made people want to give up research.

Qiu Chengwen raised an important question, "I found a problem when I was doing gravitational calculations."

"If voids are defined as having a fixed density and a stable jump speed, then ultra-high-magnification compressed particles cannot be explained."

"This goes against both cosmology and the Big Bang theory."

After Qiu Chengwen's simple explanation, everyone understood.

If the density of holes is fixed, and there is an upper limit of jumping speed, then there will be a problem, there must be an upper limit for the squeeze (jump annihilation) of holes for a mass point.

The example of ultra-high magnification compression can theoretically see a point, because whether it is the big bang theory or Zhao Yi's cosmology, the formation of the universe was originally a point.

The mass of this point is infinite.

When the finite meets the infinite, contradictions arise.

Without solving this problem, the definition of void becomes completely meaningless.

Several people in the theory have been researching for a whole day, but there is no result. Only Zhao Yi can't think of a solution.

What should I do?

Don't holes really exist?

-

The question raised by Qiu Chengwen made the theoretical group fall into trouble. Qiu Chengwen and Edward Witten even had doubts about the experiment.

"Can we really get the results we want? Maybe time will be meaningless and nothing will happen."

"I really hope to see something in the experiment, but how to explain this problem?"

"Anyway, let's look at the experimental results first."
