The Technology Tree of Xueba

On August 25, the weather was fine.

These days Zhou Yu has been accompanying Chen Jin, and spent the time when she was the weakest with her.

Honey, I've recovered well these few days. Don't stay with me all the time. The company still has so much work to do. Now that I'm recovering well, you should also focus on your work.

When Chen Jin was changing the baby's diapers, she talked to Zhou Yu who was sitting beside her.

During the period of confinement, even if there is an intelligent robot that can help her deal with things, Zhou Yu has been by her side, accompanying her to take care of the child, and prevent her from suffering from postpartum depression due to bad mood.

Chen Jin feels that her mind is very healthy, and she herself is very happy. Mental illness is impossible.

Zhou Yu saw that Chen Jin's complexion was good, he nodded and said, Well, some things are indeed inconvenient through the virtual world company.

Xiao Jin, you are also in good condition now, so I will go out to work during the day and accompany you to take care of the children at night.

Zhou Yu bid farewell to the two children again, and he left home and walked towards the scientific research center.

The company's artificial intelligence has been upgraded. Even if he is not in the company, Xianghua can cooperate with the executives to handle any company affairs.

These days, he handles the company's administrative business through virtual world network meetings, and now that electronic contracts are officially popularized, company management is very simple.

Zhou Yu's guidance to the scientific research center's projects can solve most of the problems through virtual world network meetings, but some core complex problems or problems that are not convenient to discuss in the virtual world need to be handled by him personally.

Zhou Yu came to the mechanical laboratory first, and Liu Jing started to develop maglev vehicles very early.

They finally decided on two maglev vehicle schemes, and let Zhou Yu decide which one to adopt so that they could continue to develop auxiliary facilities.

These two schemes are incompatible, and one must be chosen.

When Zhou Yu came to the mechanical laboratory, Liu Jing, the director of the mechanical laboratory, immediately greeted him.

Mr. Zhou, you have time to come. You are resting at home during this period, and I don't want to disturb your life.

What's the matter, let's talk while walking. Zhou Yu said in a slightly apologetic tone.

Mr. Zhou, because most of our company's products are very time-sensitive, air transportation is inconvenient, and high-speed rail transportation does not have enough capacity.

It just so happens that superconducting materials have made breakthroughs, and electricity storage materials have also made breakthroughs, especially the magnetic levitation technology I developed.

I applied for the development of the maglev vehicle project. Now that the project has entered a fork, I must choose one of the two paths as the main development direction.

Zhou Yu and Liu Jing came to the office, and he saw the approximate model of the maglev vehicle.

Its shell forms a closed pipeline, and the magnetic levitation carriage is suspended in the center of the pipeline.

This is very similar to the hyper-high-speed rail previously promoted by Elon Musk. Of course, this is just a money-making project. Up to now, even the one-kilometer hyper-high-speed rail has not been officially operated.

What are the two development paths you mentioned? Zhou Yu asked.

This is the vacuum magnetic levitation pipeline of the magnetic levitation vehicle we developed.

Our first development path is similar to the super high-speed rail, which is the transportation of people and goods, mainly transporting people.

The air resistance is reduced through the vacuum pipe, and the super-strong magnetic field formed by the superconducting material is used to push the cylindrical carriage in the center to move forward rapidly.

The outer casing of the cylindrical carriage is made of superconducting materials, and the external super-strong magnetic field cannot invade the interior of the carriage, and will not affect the people and objects inside.

The carriage in the vacuum maglev pipeline can reach 20,000 kilometers per hour. It only takes a few minutes from Yanjing to Shanghai, and you can travel all over China in less than an hour.

This selection adopts the selection of mixing people and goods, which is beneficial to the development of vacuum magnetic levitation track in the future.

It requires the development of an extremely complex security system, which has very high requirements on the strength of the magnetic field and the acceleration gap.

The second method is that it is only used for freight, so that the facilities of the entire pipeline do not need to be too complicated, but it has no development potential, and no matter how it is upgraded, it cannot take people and living creatures.

Because there is no safety guarantee, creatures cannot withstand strong acceleration at all.

Liu Jing introduced two directions for the development of vacuum maglev pipelines.

Your vacuum maglev pipeline is very similar to the super high-speed rail, except that Elon Musk's super high-speed rail is a gimmick. He himself did not invest in this project, but we have the strength to build a vacuum maglev pipeline.

At such a high speed of 20,000 kilometers per hour, it has far exceeded the speed of an airplane, and has reached 15 times the speed of sound.

What method do you use to allow ordinary people to take a vehicle that starts and accelerates so fast.

Experienced astronauts need long-term training and a comprehensive set of equipment to achieve this level.

There are not many people in China who can withstand this kind of acceleration. Zhou Yu asked with some doubts.

The running speed is more than 15 times the speed of sound, even if it is started with a relatively gentle uniform acceleration, the strong acceleration generated is enough to cause a serious burden on the heart and brain.

Once this kind of high-speed train is operated, it will cause extremely serious consequences, and it cannot be used by only a few people.

A means of transportation that ordinary people can't take, that's just a joke.

Liu Jing said briefly: The biggest difficulty in choosing the method of mixing people and goods is to ensure the safety of people, and our technology is not very mature yet.

It is necessary to cooperate with relevant laboratories to jointly develop life support devices.

The solution that comes to mind for the time being is to administer medicine to the passengers to minimize their brain and organ activity and enter a semi-dormant state.

In this state, their perception of the outside world is not obvious, as if they have become an object, which can enhance their resistance to drastic changes in the outside world.

Zhou Yu waved his hand and directly denied: This plan is not good, unless everyone is superhuman in the future, otherwise the risks involved are too great.

You also need to take drugs in the car. Not to mention the potential risks brought by drugs, passengers cannot accept it psychologically.

It's not two choices, but only one. You mainly research vacuum magnetic levitation pipelines for transporting items.

Now that science and technology are developing with each passing day, maybe when the vacuum magnetic levitation pipeline cannot meet the transportation requirements in the future, we have already considered the convenient air transportation method.

After listening to Zhou Yu's analysis, Liu Jing smiled and said, Then according to Mr. Zhou's analysis, we will develop a vacuum maglev pipeline for freight.

This project was officially identified as a super freight high-speed rail, and we began to develop supporting equipment for the super freight high-speed rail.

This plan is also in line with Liu Jing's own choice. This high-speed transportation method is naturally suitable for freight.

The high-speed rail network can be used for personnel transportation. In the future, high-speed rail transportation will reach 500-800 kilometers per hour. This is already the maximum speed that people can adapt to when they take transportation and ensure comfort.

The investment in the vacuum magnetic levitation pipeline is very large, and it only uses the freight method. It has almost no upgrade potential, and it can only be used as a logistics channel in the future.

Liu Jing didn't dare to make a random decision for such a huge project, he could only wait for Zhou Yu to finalize his choice.
