Chapter 977: Light from the Moon
April 1 is a significant day for the lunar colonies. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Lu Fan looked up at the magnificent hemispherical building outside the colony, and a look of admiration appeared between his eyebrows.
Sending electricity to the Earth, hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, seemed to him almost impossible two months ago. However, at this moment, he had no doubt that this miracle project in the history of mankind had been completed in their hands.
The original hexagonal laser generator was encased in a giant hemispherical surface composed of a hexagonal grid.
These hexagonal grids are made of special materials that, under different conditions, can even produce diametrically opposed light transmission.
According to the program, only one side of the six grids transmits light, and the other six grids reflect all light. Lasers in different directions are constantly reflected throughout the sphere, and are finally confined in one direction, all released by a vent, and hit a point hundreds of thousands of kilometers away.
This is how the whole device works.
Under the precise control of a quantum computer, the direction of high-energy beams can be precisely controlled by changing the light transmission of the hexagonal grid on the spherical surface. After all, this is a distance of hundreds of thousands of kilometers, and even light has to travel for as many as a second, and any slight error will be infinitely magnified.
The target receiving the laser is moving relative to the moon at all times, and only a quantum computer with terrifying computing power can steer the entire project.
"Aren't you surprised?" The bearded He Biao walked to Lu Fan's side, touched his almost bowed head, and grinned, "When I return to the earth in a few days, I can also blow it when I meet people, and the life and death of the earth have been in my hands for a moment." β
Lu Fan smiled unnourishedly, "Didn't the colony director say that even if this laser is shot on the earth, there will be no problems?"
"That's true," He Biao also looked at the giant egg and grinned, "But who can brag about that much." β
Hearing his boss's irresponsible statement, Lu Fan shook his head with a smile.
Suddenly, he realized a problem and couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows with some concern.
"You say...... What if other countries are embarrassed about this problem?"
He Biao laughed and patted him on the shoulder.
"Then let them be embarrassed. This is not something that we little people can worry about. When the sky falls, there are still tall people on top, not to mention those of us who have already gone to the sky? There are still a few days before the shift changes, if I were you, I wouldn't think about these things and not there. You might as well think about how you will spend the money you have earned in the past six months when you return to Earth. β
At the moment when the two members of the Ministry of Electric Power were gagging, in the colonial command room, Tang Weijie solemnly gave the order to launch.
Inside the Dome, the hexagonal pedestal began to glow faintly with a dark purple glow visible to the naked eye.
No flashy beams, no fancy special effects.
Everyone waited nervously for three seconds.
Three seconds later, a green signal light came on, and cheers and whistles rang out from the command room. Even Tang Weijie, who has always been calm, couldn't help but throw his hat into the air.
Just three seconds ago, a little more than two seconds to be exact, the spectral tester next to the Dome received a return light to verify whether the laser had hit the target. This light, which ran for more than two seconds, brought them the good news of victory.
Half a minute later, Tang Weijie received a call from the ground command center.
There was only one word on the other end of the line.
β¦β¦
"Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations to us, it's a great moment. β
Sending this blessing to the governor of the lunar colony, Jiang Chen put down the phone, patted Kirwin on the shoulder, and walked out of the command room with deafening cheers.
Walking through the hallway, through the antechamber, standing on the lawn outside the command center on the ground, the cheers of joy could still be heard behind me. Although he didn't see it, he could imagine people hugging each other, high-fiveing each other, shouting for a celebration feast, and crying with joy.
The tense face slowly relaxed, Jiang Chen smiled implicitly at first, and soon looked up to the sky and laughed.
It worked.
The efforts of the past two months have not been in vain.
It won't be long before the high-voltage electricity "shot" from the moon will be able to fill the power grid across two oceans. After seeing the ultra-low cost of power generation on the moon, more and more small and medium-sized countries will abandon nuclear power and thermal power to join his global power grid plan, and be tied to the chariot of Star Ring Trade forever by the submarine transmission cables.
At this moment, Xia Shiyu walked up to him and poked his waist with his fingers, piercing his illusions at this time.
"Is this the end?" Xia Shiyu whispered with a hint of untrue doubt.
Jiang Chen turned around and gave Xia Shiyu a bear hug, and before her exclamation sounded, he kissed her fiercely on the lips, and looked at her pretty face after the lips parted, and joked with a smile: "Otherwise, what else do you want?
Beams of light with shorter wavelengths than ultraviolet light cannot be observed with the naked eye. Don't say standing on the ground, even standing on a space elevator, and don't want to see the power transmission laser from the moon.
Xia Shiyu blushed, looked left and right a little crampedly, and after confirming that there was no one else, she relaxed her tense body, reached out and gently poked the tip of Jiang Chen's nose dotingly, "Look at you, excited like a child." β
Aisha walked over, looked at Xia Shiyu who was picked up by Jiang Chen with some envy, and reached out and gently tugged at the corner of Jiang Chen's clothes.
"What's wrong? Sasha. Jiang Chen turned his head and looked at her with a smile.
Aisha didn't speak, her watery sapphire eyes, but she could speak, as if reflecting the envy in her heartβ
"I want it too. β
Just when Jiang Chen was enjoying the blessings of Qi people, the ground command center was already jubilant about the success of the power-up.
After the excitement, Kirwin looked at the three-dimensional image on the holographic screen, and cast a hint of fascination in his gaze.
The three satellites floating in synchronous orbit form an isosceles triangle, like a work of art combining the beauty of mathematics and physics.
These three uniquely shaped satellites are like "prisms" that remain relatively stationary on three sides, and the received transmission laser light is reflected through one or two times and impartially shot at the receiving ring embedded on the outside of the space elevator.
There, light energy is converted into electricity, which is transported from a synchronous orbit to the ground or up to the Star Ring City along a superconductor transmission line installed outside the space elevator.
If the space elevator only allows the world to see the broad prospect of moving towards the starry sky and ignites people's enthusiasm for investing in the aerospace industry, then this laser shot from the moon is a real benefit that everyone can "see......
There is no need for any products, just selling electricity can make it easy to make a profit by burning hundreds of millions of dollars a month on a lunar colony. (To be continued.) )
