Lawrence didn't know that he had become a glorious reserver, but that didn't stop him from experiencing the shock of the cloud research institute up close to ordinary people.

All kinds of high-tech equipment and technologies that have been hundreds of years ahead of the earth, it is like coming to the world of science fiction, and just looking at the list makes Lawrence's heart beat faster and his eyes red.

The "Prometheus" project is just one of Lawrence's ideas, originally he thought that it would not be possible until at least a few hundred years later, but in front of Lawrence's eyes, the theoretical problems were solved one by one, and more than 80% of the technical details were never seen by Lawrence.

However, with the amazing abilities that Captain Ghost has always shown, Lawrence can treat this with a normal heart, but there is another thing that makes him unable to calm down.

That's what this research institute ...... There are only sixteen scientists!

Sixteen scientists, and three part-time testers of new products, are all the living people in the institute, while the rest are countless robotic assistants.

This number can be said to be far lower than Lawrence and even everyone imagined.

Even if it is a small laboratory set up by himself, there are more than 30 assistants not counting miscellaneous work, and the cloud scientific research institute, which is known as full of black technology and countless research and development achievements, has only 16 people in total?!

Who can believe that? Is it impossible to engage in scientific research and be fully automated?

In the virtual world, Yu Lao and others all showed themselves as small robots, and did not reveal their identities.

But through this time of communication in the "Prometheus" project, Lawrence can vaguely perceive that these people should be the same kind of people as himself.

They are very familiar with the scientific environment on Earth, and have a mature personality brought by age, experienced, wise and erudite, and they love to drill and are particularly stubborn, and they all reveal a familiar smell of Lawrence......

In the process of communicating with many top scientists, Lawrence will have this familiar feeling.

But the difference is that they seem to have a youthful vigor in these characteristics, which makes Lawrence feel a little contradictory.

What shocked Lawrence even more was the "inhuman" ability shown by Yu Lao and others.

Proficient in many foreign languages! There are all kinds of interdisciplinary fields, and the level is as high as several floors!

Quick thinking, quick response, mental arithmetic speed is completely incomprehensible!

The work efficiency is amazing, and the plan is often proposed in the morning, and the specific laboratory verification results are released in less than two hours.

Erudite and knowledgeable to the point of incomprehension, all kinds of theories and techniques are almost at hand, and in a few words can say the conclusions that Lawrence needs to think about for a long time to reach.

Even in his own professional field, in terms of theoretical level and scientific research skills, Lawrence was frustrated to find that he was crushed by everyone present in all directions.

You must know that among these people, only 5 are experts in the field of physics, and the rest are experts in the fields of chemistry, mathematics and even biology.

But he can't even compare to a biology person in his professional field!

He finally knew why just sixteen people could support the name of the strongest scientific research institute.

When there was such a scientist, Lawrence would tell himself that there would always be one or two unreasonable geniuses in the world, but sixteen such people appeared at once, and even if he was stupid, he knew that there must be a problem here.

It is rumored that Captain Ghost's human enhancement technology is unparalleled in the world, and Ghost Rider can even dodge bullets.

However, when he asked if this kind of human enhancement could be redeemed, what he got was Yu Lao's meaningful "internal employee benefits......

Lawrence is deeply envious of this employee benefit!

The strongest scientists, the strongest scientific research environment, and the strongest Ghost Captain as a backing......

"What a paradise for science...... Lawrence sighed as he looked at the spaceship approaching the sun.

This is why Nie Yun arranged for Lawrence to come to participate in the project, as long as he is a scientist who pursues the truth, he cannot be unmoved by a scientific research environment like the cloud.

"Drop! The spaceship arrives at the preset location! At this time, the system's prompt sounded, interrupting Lawrence's thoughts.

The spaceship in the picture has its thrusters turned off and slowly sails forward by inertia.

"Although the boss didn't come, but after all, it is a revolutionary galaxy-level project, and the ribbon-cutting ceremony still needs to be continued, Mr. Lawrence, you are the theorist of the plan, so it's up to you." Yu Lao made a gesture of please.

A virtual control panel immediately appeared in front of Lawrence, with a red handprint on it.

"No, no, I just came up with the inspiration for the design, and I did little to help in the specific implementation process, and this honor should belong to everyone here." Lawrence hurriedly excused himself.

To be honest, in the second half of the implementation of the plan, Lawrence felt that he could not keep up with the pace of Yu Lao and others, and his technical accumulation was still too weak.

Lawrence quickly put himself on the right posture soon after joining the team, and he came to learn.

"Hehe, inspiration is the most precious thing for science, and I look forward to you providing more inspiration for the earth." Yu Lao smiled and stretched out his hand to invite again.

Lawrence saw that the old man insisted, so he pressed his hand up with some embarrassment.

'Drop!' Prometheus' system is officially launched! ”

Then Lawrence saw the spaceship begin to unfold slowly.

First, the hull of the second half of the ship opened, and the eight sets of side-by-side thrusters suddenly split apart and broke away in eight directions.

The interior of the spherical spacecraft is filled with a thin, almost transparent membrane, and the 8 sets of thrusters spray tail flames, slowly flying in 8 directions, pulling the membrane behind them to slowly open.

The next picture is like opening a parachute, and the area of the open film is getting larger and larger.

10 km²...... 100 km²...... 10,000 square kilometers...... 100,000 square kilometers......

This huge film swells slightly backwards under the action of the solar wind, and finally forms an umbrella with the center of the circle pointing towards the sun.

The remaining hemispherical interior of the spacecraft, like a balancing sandbag for a hot air balloon, is firmly absorbed by the sun's huge gravitational pull, counteracting the solar wind thrust on the membrane.

The eight thrusters slowly shut down after the final attitude adjustment, which kept the entire system relatively stationary with the sun.

"Torch 1, orbital deviation 0.001%, anchoring complete!"

Project Prometheus was inspired by the Dyson sphere, but the Dyson sphere idea was not only too large a project, but also had many difficulties.

For example, how can construction materials withstand high temperatures? How to deal with the huge internal stresses caused by the sun's gravity? How is energy transported?

Lawrence proposed a way to replace the solid material with a transparent solar film, using a flexible film to avoid huge internal stresses and reduce material consumption.

Solar thin-film technology is not new on the earth, in 2015, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of cadmium telluride thin-film solar cells in the laboratory has reached 21.5%, and it has already entered the practical stage.

The unique parachute design is based on the solar sail theory.

As long as the density and orbit of the film are reasonable, the gravitational pull of the film and the solar wind cancel each other out, thus maintaining the orbit stability and avoiding stress tearing.

In addition, the specially designed translucent film can add a thermal radiation reflective coating according to its own temperature tolerance capacity, and adjust its own light transmittance to minimize the heat absorbed by itself.

Then, using the sun's gravity, solar wind, and orbital speed as parameters, Lawrence devised a formula for calculating the anchored orbit.

This is the smallest component of the "Prometheus" plan to steal the fire - the "torch"!
