Chapter 257: The Star Ring and the Oasis

Pang Xuelin smiled faintly and said: "Star Ring City is still in charge of you first, as for the next war or peace, it depends on whether the countries can accept our conditions...... Vader, you are now informing the leaders that I am going to hold a hearing on Project Facing the Wall in Star Ring. ”

"Face-to-wall plan hearings?"

Vader was slightly stunned.

Pang Xuelin nodded and said: "I still belong to the wall-facing people, even if the United Nations and the PDC are close to disintegration, but whether it is for the three-body civilization or the human civilization, the wall-facing plan is still effective." In the current situation, it is most beneficial for Star Ring City to have a dialogue with countries within the framework of the United Nations and the PDC. ”

Vader said, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away." ”

Countries obviously didn't expect that after Pang Xuelin woke up, the first request was to hold a hearing on the wall-facing plan.

At present, the United Nations has long existed in name only, and the Planetary Defense Council has been completely disintegrated, not to mention that most countries in the world have fallen into a state of war, with frequent civil strife in Africa, a mess in the Middle East, and a war in Europe, a civil war between the eastern and western governments of the United States, a war between India and Pakistan, and so on.

It is impossible for countries to harmonize and straighten out these relationships without a month or two, let alone organize a hearing on the Facing the Wall Plan.

Taking advantage of this time, Pang Xuelin, accompanied by Cheng Xin and Vader, began to visit and understand the Star Ring City in more detail.

After twenty-five years of hibernation, the overall technical level of Star Ring City has been greatly improved.

In the field of people's livelihood, folding mobile phones, which were similar to science fiction products 25 years ago, have basically been thoroughly popularized.

And this kind of folding mobile phone is not the folding mobile phone with a thickness of nearly ten millimeters when folded twenty years ago, and the thickness after folding is only about one millimeter, a four-inch folding mobile phone, which is equivalent to a twelve-inch tablet computer after unfolding, and the thickness is like a piece of paper.

In addition, televisions have been replaced by holographic projections, which can present ultra-high-definition stereoscopic images in naked-eye conditions.

At that time, it was quite expensive to use the V equipment for virtual reality, but in Star Ring City, everyone had one.

However, because of climate change around the world in recent years, frequent wars, and increasingly strict regulations in various countries, entertainment activities are not as popular as before.

In terms of transportation, the public transportation system of Star Ring City is quite developed, with rail trams, light rails and driverless buses extending in all directions, organically connecting the whole city.

As a result, private cars are not popular in Star Ring, but the single-person folding quadcopter has become the most popular means of personal transportation.

It's a bit like the electric car that was quite popular in China more than twenty years ago.

After a short period of training, Pang Xuelin flew once.

This kind of quadrator is quite safe, using fool-like operation and artificial intelligence, and can plan the route independently, as long as the pilot enters the destination, the rotorcraft can do the rest of the work for you.

In addition, even if there is a power supply failure and all the engines lose power, as long as the flight altitude does not exceed 500 meters, the emergency backup power supply of the personal aircraft can still allow the aircraft to land safely.

In addition to learning about people's livelihood facilities, Pang Xuelin basically spent the rest of his time doing research in various research institutes under the Transwarp Institute for Advanced Study.

Over the past 20 years, Transwarp Advanced Study has become the world's largest research institution.

Especially in recent years, the political turmoil in various countries around the world has caused many scientists to move their families to Transwarp City to seek refuge, so that the scale of the Transwarp Institute for Advanced Study has expanded dramatically.

At present, there are more than 20,000 researchers with the title of associate professor or above, and more than 50,000 researchers with doctoral degree or above.

Coupled with the families of these people, as well as high-level talents in other industries, the average length of education in the entire Star Ring City, including the elderly and children, has reached a staggering 17.8 years.

You must know that in some universities in other countries, the average education time of teachers and students combined is only this level, not to mention, this is the per capita level of 2.13 million people in Star Ring City.

This has also made Transwarp City a global outstanding presence in various fields such as medical care, education, biology, chemical industry, IT, and communications.

Of course, the field of physics is still locked down.

The theoretical research of the Institute of Physics of the Transwarp Institute for Advanced Study has been completely cut off from reality.

Even many scientists who study applied engineering jokingly claim that the research of theoretical physics researchers has entered the field of metaphysics.

However, even so, the Institute of Theoretical Physics has produced several papers over the years that theoretically may lift the blockade of Zhizi, but with the current level of human technology, it is not feasible in reality and has little significance.

In addition to the Transwarp Advanced Research Institute, Pang Xuelin went to the Aerospace Engineering Research Institute in Transwarp City the most.

At present, the two most well-known products of the Aerospace Engineering Research Institute are the "Star Ring" aerospace aircraft and the other is the "Oasis" space battleship.

The Star Ring Aerospace Aircraft is a slender delta-wing aircraft with a length of nearly 200 meters, a wingspan of more than 100 meters, and a V-shaped double vertical tail, with an empty weight of 500 tons, and a catapult take-off of 1,000 tons under full load.

With a sustained acceleration of up to twenty-five kilometers in an electromagnetic catapult orbit, it is possible to give the Star Ring a take-off speed of five times the speed of sound.

After de-orbiting, the 200-ton ionic electric propulsion engine was activated, giving the Ring additional thrust and allowing it to enter a low-earth orbit 150 kilometers above Earth within 10 minutes.

After Pang Xuelin woke up, Star Ring City carried out another launch mission.

It was a clear evening, and at sunset, the dark gray Starring was pushed onto the take-off end of the electromagnetic acceleration orbit near the coastline.

From afar, the silhouette of the two powerful industrial products of the Star Ring and the Electromagnetic Orbital Accelerator is wonderfully blended with the natural beauty of Isabela Island.

With the commander's order, the Star Ring glided rapidly under the impetus of the electromagnetic orbital accelerator with an acceleration of up to 4.6G.

When the takeoff accelerated to about thirty seconds, a layer of foggy shock wave clouds suddenly appeared around the Star Ring, followed by a deafening loud sound.

This is the sound produced by the Star Ring's acceleration on the ground to break through the sound barrier.

Then, the speed of the Star Ring became faster and faster, and in less than three minutes, the Star Ring quickly climbed up the Azul volcano, and the next second it departed from the acceleration orbit, the blue plasma flame was lit up.

Then, in a very short time, the Star Ring turned into a bright star in the night sky.

Although Pang Xuelin has seen a lot of big scenes, the launch scene in front of him still makes him a little excited.

This is the most likely space launch scenario to be realized in reality.

Because the ion electric propulsion engine used by the Star Ring has an ultra-long specific impulse of more than 20 hours, the Star Ring has the ability to fly freely in the Earth-Moon space.

Compared to the aerospace planes that can only fly in low-earth orbit, the Star Ring is like a product of another era.

Of course, compared to the Star Ring, the Oasis battleship is more feared by various countries!

This is a super battleship designed for the purpose of truly interstellar warfare, with the appearance of a giant cigar, with a total weight of more than 50,000 tons, a maximum crew of more than 2,000 ships, and a modular construction.

The so-called modular construction is to launch a section of giant modules into space through the space electromagnetic orbital launch system, and then assemble them by astronauts in space through the reserved standard interface.

One of the most important segments is the miniaturized fusion reactor.

It is precisely with the fusion reactor that the Oasis has become the most powerful weapon of war in human history so far, and with the powerful energy supply of the nuclear fusion reactor, it has initially possessed the ability to carry out wide-area combat missions within the solar system.

The Oasis is armed with four heavy electromagnetic guns, and its conventional strike capabilities have reached the level of nuclear weapons.

In addition, the Oasis has dozens of laser cannons, particle beam cannons, and small and medium-sized electromagnetic cannons for defense, plus hundreds of interstellar missiles with ion thrusters, it is simply a war fortress armed to the teeth, and no country can pose a threat to the Oasis at present.

This is also the reason why although the countries have an overwhelming advantage over the Star Ring City inside the earth, they do not dare to use any strong measures against the Star Ring City.
