Rebirth of science and technology academic master

Not only Ma Donglai and Niu Benben, but also many academicians in the aerospace field who attended this meeting found it inconceivable that Qin Yuanqing, as the leader of the Chinese scientific community today, could raise such unreliable attention.

The "Double Ring Space Station" looks good, but can it be built in ten years?

Even in a hundred years it won’t be possible!

What a joke!

As the real big guys in the aviation field, they know China's aviation technology best, and aviation technology is a high-precision technology. Many technologies are only used in aerospace engineering and have not been used in other fields.

They all feel that the 'double-ring space station' is too unreliable. Even though this 'double-ring space station' looks full of science fiction beauty and has data on size, mass, orbit, inclination, etc., they just don't think it is reliable. Spectrum.

"Lao Zhu, what do you think happened to Academician Qin? How could he come up with such an unreliable 'double-ring space station'?" In the small cafeteria, a man about 60 years old frowned slightly and said to Zhu Zongpeng next to him.

They were all elected as academicians of the Academy of Engineering just last year and are relatively young academicians.

Zhu Zongpeng graduated from Harbin Institute of Technology. After graduating from graduate school, he entered the China Space Technology Research Institute. He is the chief designer of the Tiangong space station and is a boss-level figure in the space station system. It is also true that Zhu Zongpeng has great influence on the next generation of space stations. The right to speak.

In the previous two days of meetings, Zhu Zongpeng actively spoke and made suggestions. After all, he also hopes to contribute to the next generation of space stations.

As an expert in the field of space station systems, Zhu Zongpeng is very clear about the role of space stations. For example, this time on the Tiangong space station, the laboratory is equipped with a number of space application loads such as space cold atomic clocks and air-to-ground quantum key distribution experiments, covering the basic physics of microgravity. , space materials science, space life science and other fields. Each group of astronauts enters the space station with a large number of tasks and conducts various experiments, covering various major fields and major disciplines, which will play a very important role in scientific development.

Therefore, aerospace elites including Zhu Zongpeng all have a consensus that the next generation space station must be built. The only objection is what kind of next generation space station should be built?

"Oh, I was shocked just now. Academician Qin really dared to mention that such a large space station can probably accommodate thousands of astronauts, as well as controllable nuclear fusion technology, anti-gravity technology, etc. Technology, with an investment of up to 3 trillion yuan,” Zhu Zongpeng sighed, admitting that he was shocked.

The bosses are the bosses, and they dwarf their imaginations whenever they take action.

In fact, Zhu Zongpeng knows very well that this 'double-ring space station' only looks beautiful and is not feasible at all. First of all, it is too difficult to build. Building such a thing in space is not building on the ground. It is extremely difficult to transport large amounts of materials to space. Secondly, the investment is too large, reaching 3 trillion yuan, and China's total GDP is now only 116.81 trillion yuan, which is equivalent to 2.57% of GDP!

At lunch, I don’t know how many experts felt that the food cooked by the chef of the five-star hotel was not delicious at all. When they slowly realized, they all felt that the analysis of the ‘Double Ring Space Station’ proposed by Qin Yuanqing was unreliable.

There are three major principles for developing the next-generation space station like this, namely feasibility, rationality, and advancement. All three must be well balanced.

The 'Double Ring Space Station' proposed by Qin Yuanqing is super advanced, but it is unfeasible and unreasonable!

As the afternoon meeting began, the atmosphere in the conference room became serious and tense. Because Qin Yuanqing proposed the 'Double Ring Space Station', everyone would then attack the 'Double Ring Space Station' in groups and besiege the 'Double Ring Space Station'.

"Academician Qin, the first priority of the 'double-ring space station' you proposed this morning is controllable nuclear fusion technology. This is the energy source of the 'double-ring space station'. Without controllable nuclear fusion technology, this 'double-ring space station' 'It is useless if it loses its source of energy. As we all know, controllable nuclear fusion technology is still in the laboratory stage. The operating time is calculated in seconds. It is an extremely long way from operating to half an hour. Take a future A technology that may not be able to achieve a breakthrough in ten or even fifty years. I think this is unreasonable and unfeasible!" Zhu Zongpeng was the first to attack. His point of attack was directed at controllable nuclear fusion technology. He wanted to To operate an extremely large space station like the 'Double Ring Space Station', the energy demand is extremely terrifying. What can be used as a support is the controllable nuclear fusion technology that Qin Yuanqing had explained earlier in the morning, and there are unknown uncertainties in this technology.

Ever since mankind discovered nuclear fusion, everyone has wanted to commercialize it like nuclear fission and use it to generate electricity in nuclear power plants. In this case, the power generation would far exceed that of nuclear fission power plants, and it would also be safer and cleaner energy, which can be said to be inexhaustible.

However, over the years, all countries have invested heavily in half a century of research. In fact, controllable nuclear fusion has not made any substantial breakthrough. It is still stuck in the laboratory stage and cannot get out of the laboratory.

Even if China has exceeded 100 million degrees and burned for 100 seconds, 100 seconds is less than 2 minutes. This is still a long way from commercialization!

"With regard to controllable nuclear fusion technology and anti-gravity technology, there is no doubt that they will be commercially used in the next 10 years, including the miniaturization of quantum computers. I think I have the best say in these three aspects. You don't need to worry or question these. !" Qin Yuanqing smiled lightly.

He proposed that the 'double-ring space station' seems incredible, but in fact it is completely feasible, because the fourth industrial revolution is extremely terrible for the improvement of productivity. The explosive growth of productivity will make many technologies Make breakthroughs and create more new technologies.

Controllable nuclear fusion technology, anti-gravity technology, and quantum computer miniaturization are all three major areas that Qin Yuanqing is pushing hard and is the host. He knows them better than anyone else.

As soon as Qin Yuanqing's words came out, many people who wanted to make a fuss about these three aspects felt as if they were hit by 9999 points in their hearts, and they almost vomited blood in depression.

But he was speechless, because as Qin Yuanqing said, Qin Yuanqing is the real expert in these three aspects. There is no doubt that the boss among the bosses has the most say and holds the most secrets. . As for them, they have actually never been in contact with each other. They are not in that field. They are essentially novices and cannot question Qin Yuanqing, the big boss who represents authority.

At this time, these experts in the aerospace field finally understood why many people called Qin Yuanqing a 'new academic'. This is simply evil. No matter how depressed you are, you can only complain in your heart, but cannot refute.

"Academician Qin, you also said this morning that the investment in the 'Double Ring Space Station' will reach an astonishing 3 trillion, and the total GDP in 2019 is 116.81 trillion, equivalent to 2.57% of the current total GDP. I think this means What are you doing, Academician Qin, you know very well!" A gray-haired old man of about seventy years old questioned, and he started with an astronomical amount of investment.

3 trillion, adding up the investment in all aerospace projects including two bombs and one satellite over the years, and taking inflation into account, it is less than a fraction of this 3 trillion yuan figure.

An investment of 3 trillion yuan is simply an astronomical figure.

"You also said that this is equivalent to 2.57% of the current GDP. We should realize that China is in a state of development, especially the fourth industrial revolution was born in China, which has greatly improved social productivity. Today The speed of development is obvious to all. It is estimated that by 2030, the country's GDP will likely reach 300 trillion yuan. By then, the investment of 3 trillion yuan will actually only account for 1%. Considering that the project will not be completed within one year It will be built in stages instead of completed, so by that time, an investment of 3 trillion yuan is completely acceptable!" Qin Yuanqing said.

"Furthermore, please understand that the next generation space station is not only for scientific research work, it is also a transfer station, an earth-moon transfer station, and even an earth-fire transfer station. Its role is huge, and it is also a controllable nuclear power station in the future. The main source of fusion fuel!" Qin Yuanqing said.

Controlled nuclear fusion, the best fuel is helium 3!

Helium 3 is very scarce on the earth, but it is very abundant on the moon. According to current research, the soil on the moon contains rich helium 3 resources, estimated to be 1.03 million tons. Such a large amount of helium 3 resources is enough to Even if humans use it for ten thousand years, it will not be used up.

Why Qin Yuanqing supports the lunar exploration project is because for the sustainable development of mankind, the development of lunar resources is necessary, and if mankind does not enter the interstellar age within fifty years, then mankind will be completely trapped on the earth, and human society will not be productive. It will increase, but it will gradually decrease.

The reason is simple. The earth's resources will reach their peak and decline in another fifty years. The more they are used, the less they will be. Naturally, they will not be able to support mankind into the interstellar era.

Then mankind enters the era of internal friction!

Therefore, Qin Yuanqing did not regard the "Double Ring Space Station" just as a space scientific research station, but as a transfer station for human beings to enter interstellar exploration. Going from the "Double Ring Space Station" to the moon is much simpler than going from the earth to the moon. , which can save a lot of energy.

Many people looked at each other in shock. They did not expect that Qin Yuanqing proposed that the "Double Ring Space Station" was not only used for scientific research, but also had other tasks.

After all, in their subconscious minds, space stations are used for scientific research tasks. For example, the International Space Station has always been engaged in scientific research.

How can this be a siege? The functions and positions of the two are fundamentally different.

As for technology, many technologies need to be conquered within the next 10 years, rather than using existing technologies. This fact is actually clear to many people.

For example, special materials that can exist in space for a long time and are used to build space stations have not remained unchanged over the years, but have made great progress.
