Chapter 474: Rocket Re-entry Experiment
"Because this time, we still have a project that is not completed. ”
"What project?"
Yang Chen smiled mysteriously: "Wait a minute, you will know." ”
As the two were talking, they saw that the projection showing the rocket surveillance screen suddenly changed again.
"What happened?"
"Strange, what's wrong again?"
"What's that?"
"Like...... It looks like the rocket from before......"
There's a lot of talk.
It can be clearly seen that in the picture is the image of the Centaur launch vehicle flying wrapped in a bright flame.
Moreover, it should be an image of flying in the atmosphere towards the ground. The bright flame is caused by the high-temperature ionization caused by the shock wave generated during supersonic flight. Through this flame, you can clearly see the earth below, which is obviously re-entering the atmosphere.
Zhu Yingying couldn't help asking: "This is ......"
Yang Chen said with a smile: "Our resources are limited, of course, we must try to use all the available things as much as possible, and try to complete multiple experiments in one experiment." This is also the content of an experiment in this rocket launch: the re-entry experiment. ”
"What? You're going to re-enter the atmosphere? What ...... Isn't that a complete ICBM technology?"
Zhu Hero is very sensitive to military affairs, and immediately thought of this.
"Uh...... The same can be said. But more importantly, it's the technology of the Space Shuttle, because we're going to recycle the rocket in its entirety, not just use it as a disposable weapon. Yang Chen was stunned.
That being said, if you can get the rocket to fly to your designated location and retrieve it, you can also turn it into a missile.
After all, recovery has to slow down when it is close to the ground, which is also a technical difficulty, but if it becomes a missile, it does not need to slow down, and it is a lot less troublesome.
To put it simply, once this technology is mastered, only the warhead needs to be added, and that is the standard ICBM technology.
The experts in the stands originally planned to come over to celebrate together, but as soon as they came over, they found new changes, and they looked at the surveillance images in surprise.
Suddenly, an expert silently calculated, and was immediately shocked: "Wait, why can we still see this real-time monitoring screen now? Now the rocket has obviously entered the state of black barrier!"
The so-called black barrier state means that when missiles and spacecraft re-enter the atmosphere at ultra-high speed, the shock wave generated causes the surface and surrounding gas molecules to be viscous and burning, and the temperature is not easy to dissipate, forming a high-temperature zone with a temperature of several thousand degrees Celsius. The gases in the high-temperature zone and the molecules of the material on the surface of the re-entry capsule are broken down and ionized to form a plasma zone. It envelops the craft like a sheath. This state will cause the radio communication between the aircraft and the outside world to be attenuated or even interrupted.
This state of affairs cannot be avoided by human science and technology at present.
In this case, you should not be able to see the real-time monitoring of the rocket now. Unless the surveillance screen is a mock-up. But everyone is a discerning person, and it can be seen at a glance that this is a real real-time monitoring screen, not a simulation.
"How is this possible?"
Several experts were shocked: "Have you broken through the problem of radio communication in the black barrier state?"
Wei Hua next to him shook his head: "Of course not, the black barrier state is insoluble for the current radio technology of the earth." ”
"Then this is ......"
Yang Chen smiled: "Of course, this is because of the non-radio communication technology we have adopted." To be precise, all the previous satellites, rocket real-time monitoring images, and other communications, we have adopted two systems, one radio, and one psionic communication technology. In order to ensure compatibility with current technology, radio technology is generally used. But if a radio like the Black Barrier doesn't work, we'll use psionic communication. ”
"Then ......," an expert hurriedly asked, "What is the current level of development of psionic communication technology?"
"It's basically the same as existing radio technology. Hmm......" Yang Chen muttered, "But at present, the range of action can only be within 50,000 kilometers above the ground. Even the communication between the earth and the moon cannot be realized. ”
The expert shook his head with a wry smile, now that human beings have not settled on the moon, except for rare cases, what is the need for earth-moon communication?
He asked, "Is psionic communication technology more difficult to jam and less expensive than traditional radio communication technology?"
Basically, the biggest feature of psionic technology is that it can greatly improve the effect of the technology and greatly reduce the cost of the technology.
Yang Chen nodded: "That's right." ”
The expert shook his head and stopped talking.
However, another expert next to him sighed: "As soon as this psionic technology comes out, our previous research can be abandoned...... Could it be that the future will be an era when psionic technology will obsolete all traditional technologies?"
Yang Chen shook his head and said, "No." Although psionic technology can replicate traditional technology efficiently and at low cost, traditional scientific research still has important and even irreplaceable significance. ”
"Why do you say that?" said the expert, "What can be done with traditional technology, psionic technology can do it, and it can be done better." On the other hand, there are many things that psionic technology can do, which traditional technology can't do at all, so what's the use of studying traditional technology?"
"Quite simply, psionic technology is sharp, but stability is a problem. Yang Chen said: "You must know that psionic technology is based on aura. However, Reiki is not an immutable constant, and the concentration of Reiki is different in different spaces and environments. In the same place, the concentration of aura varies at different times. So in the long run, in terms of stability, psionic technology is not as good as traditional technology. ”
"In addition, traditional technology is the foundation of this universe. If the fundamental laws of the universe studied by traditional science and technology, then the theory of energy particles only studied the secondary laws of the universe. The fundamental laws are eternal and universal, but the secondary laws are affected by the environment. ”
"Wait......" Hou Xunan next to him suddenly said: "Doesn't the energy particle theory say that aura is everywhere in the universe?"
"That's right," Yang Chen explained in detail, "However, it is not constant. The so-called aura is nothing but the appearance of the ocean of spiritual energy that fills any corner of the universe and becomes the cornerstone of the universe. The psionic ocean is the same as the cosmic background radiation, and the whole universe is the same. And the aura is just a little ripple, a wave on the ocean of spiritual energy. It's like the sea. The world is the same at sea level, but the height of the waves at sea level varies. However, psionic technology has to be affected by the waves before it can manipulate the psionic ocean, so it is unstable in the long run. Therefore, the research of psionic technology is only for convenience, and the real foundation is still traditional technology......"
Hou Xunan pondered: "This is like the legend in the metaphysical world, the aura of heaven and earth has been constantly decreasing. The power of a spell in ancient times was far greater than the power of the same spell now. However, if you put a bomb of modern technology in ancient times, its explosion power will be the same as it is now. ”
"That's it. Therefore, we must grasp both psionic technology and traditional technology, and both hands must be hard!"
Yang Chen finally concluded.
As he spoke, the returning rocket was getting closer and closer to the ground.
On the screen, everyone can already faintly see the more obvious terrain, instead of seeing only a piece of blue color like when looking at the earth in space before.
And at this time, the mobile phone on the hero rang.
He hid to the side, connected the mobile phone, and after saying a few words, he came to Yang Chen's place and said with a wry smile: "Yang boy, you have caused me a lot of trouble!"
"What's wrong?"
"What's the matter? What else can it be? Your rocket re-enters the atmosphere, and the ballistic missile monitoring network and reconnaissance satellites throughout the country have all clearly monitored it. Outside, people from the Air Force and the Second Artillery Corps were calling to ask. Why didn't you tell me when you asked me to say hello? Do you know that if we hadn't known that you had launched a rocket, I am afraid that the Second Artillery Corps would have started combat readiness mobilization and found a way to shoot down your rocket? ”
Yang Chen also smiled bitterly: "I'm sorry...... I really didn't expect that I forgot to let Zhu Lao remind the country. ”
"Are you ......" Zhu Yingying shook his head again and again: "You don't want to think about this kind of high-speed re-entry into the atmosphere, the capable country in the world will miss the past? Who doesn't worry about this thing with a nuclear warhead on it?"
On the contrary, since the advent of strategic ballistic missiles and strategic ballistic missile monitoring technology, all countries have been extremely wary of unidentified aircraft entering their territory from space at high speed, fearing that this would be a nuclear strike. In addition to finding a way to defeat it, it is also necessary to be ready at any time to launch combat readiness for a second nuclear strike.
There is also a record on Yang Chen's side, and the rocket has been monitored in the sky before, so there is no such fuss, but even so, the military side who did not know in advance that Yang Chen planned to recover the rocket still pinched a cold sweat, and if he didn't get feedback in time, he would definitely react violently.
Yang Chen even felt that it was very likely that when everyone was talking, I was afraid that the Second Artillery Corps' road-mobile strategic missiles and the navy's nuclear submarines would have already been dispatched and were ready to fight a nuclear war.
It's okay......
Thinking about Yang Chen, he was also in a cold sweat. Poor communication can lead to tensions.
Although his rocket does not have a nuclear warhead, it does have a nuclear fusion engine inside! If it is detonated when the military attacks, it will really be regarded by the military as a nuclear attack on China, and then I am afraid that it will have to be a big job. Perhaps China will not necessarily retaliate with nuclear weapons immediately, but who can guarantee that the nuclear powers that are watching other nuclear powers around the world will not overreact to China's actions? This possibility is not small!
Thinking about it, the ending of the nuclear war almost caused him, and Yang Chen was inevitably a little scared in his heart......
