Chapter 379: The Beginning of an All-Out Invasion of the Universe
Time flies by like water.
In the blink of an eye, it came to 20X5 years.
That is, 5 years of federation.
In recent years, some of the most lively things that have happened on the planet are as follows:
One, the boom in life-extending medical technology is remarkable.
Up to now, Xinghai Hospital has completed life extension treatment for a total of 5 million elderly people, and the average life expectancy of human beings in the future can reach more than 150 years.
Due to the institution that has mastered the mature life extension technology, there is currently only one hospital, Xinghai Hospital, and the elderly from all over the world can only complete the treatment if they go to the living city in the northwest desert reconstruction area of country Z.
More than 30 million people are expected to flow into the desert reconstruction area every year.
Such a huge flow of people, as well as the elderly who need to prolong their lives, and the economic benefits brought by the consumption are undoubtedly staggering.
Those who had laughed at Xinghai Technology's stupidity before were all stunned at the moment.
"The benefits of what we think are 'stupid things' to Xinghai Technology are far beyond the imagination of those of us who think we are smart."
"People who really do big things think about the next five or ten steps, and we mortals always think of only half a step in front of us."
"You don't have to try to think, or prove that you are smarter than Xinghai Technology, no matter what Xinghai Technology does in the future, try your best to take a free ride, this is the best shortcut to success."
"I know that every outlet that Xinghai Technology has seized is the biggest, and I know that this company has always been the most profitable company in the world, but its success cannot be replicated, and no company can compete with it."
"Hey, the Invincible Great Demon King."
"Maybe this world will be dominated by Xinghai Technology in the future, I don't know if it will be a good thing or a bad thing."
Second, various countries have stepped up their efforts in space development, setting off a wave of outer space resource development fever.
Resources on the moon have become the focus of attention.
In particular, Xinghai Technology's unmanned transport spacecraft has transported batches of high-grade rare earth ores from the moon, and the benefits minus the costs seem to be slightly profitable.
The whole planet is in a state of frenzy.
The major space powers have formulated plans for the exploitation of lunar minerals and invested huge sums of money to plan the mineral resources on the moon.
Private space companies have sprung up in droves, and there are now thousands of them.
Countless capital and hot money have also poured into this super outlet, and their faces are full of longing and various fanatical slogans:
"The Age of Interstellar Exploration is coming!"
"The opportunity in front of us is once in a lifetime and unprecedented."
"It's definitely the best of times, we are all restless in the air, there are so many opportunities like raindrops in a rainstorm, as long as you don't hide under the eaves, you can embrace wealth and success!"
Impetuous.
The arrival of the outer space development fever has made the whole world extremely impetuous.
However, in this restless atmosphere, Xinghai Technology, which took the lead in entering the space mining industry and had some gains, did not strike while the iron was hot and announced its next plans and plans.
Instead, it fell silent, seemingly content with a dozen tons of rare earth ore mined from the moon every day, and sat back and watched other private space companies get out of the way.
At this time, many investors who have close cooperation with Xinghai Technology are anxious and have called to ask:
"Mr. Chen, what about your company's "Moon Migration Plan", why didn't it be announced?"
"What about the Mars Exploration Program and other galaxy exploration programs?"
"Mr. Chen, don't hold back if you have any big moves, hurry up and release it, we can't wait."
But Chen Jin is not in a hurry, there must be a big move, but the time is not ripe yet, and he doesn't like bragging and hype very much...... Xinghai Technology is not a company that relies on dreams and feelings.
When the time is fully ripe, smart investors will know that the company is more reliable.
……
Federal 5, August.
Xinghai Technology's new energy research center has an exciting news: the high-energy No. 3 battery has been successfully developed.
Remote video conferencing.
Zhao Qiang, who is in charge of the project, said excitedly:
"Mr. Chen, Mr. Ling, leaders, the high-energy No. 3 battery project has been successful, and we have achieved something that is theoretically impossible."
"The energy density of 10,000h/kg is 2.5 times that of the 4,000h/kg energy density of the high-energy No. 2 battery, which is close to the energy density of 12,000h/kg of gasoline."
"And because we have repeatedly emphasized, the energy utilization rate of the battery is generally more than 80%, and the utilization rate of high-temperature superconducting materials is even more than 95%, and there is only a small amount of mechanical friction resistance."
"Compared to gasoline, the process of converting chemical energy into heat energy and then into kinetic energy is eliminated."
"So in actual performance, 1 kilogram of high-energy No. 3 battery is equivalent to 2 kilograms of gasoline, and even exceeds the same mass of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen."
"If the high-energy No. 3 battery is carried on the space shuttle, and then equipped with the ion engine developed by the company, and the thrust is generated by accelerating the ionization working medium, according to calculations, the space shuttle can be fully accelerated to the first cosmic speed and enter the orbit around the earth."
"Even after entering space orbit, the battery can still have a small amount of electricity left, more than 1 ton of working fluid, and about 3 tons of payload."
"If you change to a high-energy No. 2 battery, you will definitely not be able to do this performance."
"In addition, our company is at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, with the National Space Administration to build a length of 30 kilometers, a height of 7 kilometers of electromagnetic acceleration orbit, is expected to be completed next year, then through the electromagnetic orbit acceleration of the space shuttle, the end of the ejection speed of up to 2.5 Mach, with the help of electromagnetic acceleration orbit, the space shuttle can save about one-fifth of the energy, so that the payload of the space shuttle increased to 10 tons."
"High-energy No. 3 battery, electromagnetic acceleration track, a full 10-ton payload."
"Mr. Chen, I think these three things can open the era of large-scale development of outer space resources in the solar system."
"And the cost of this technology combination is currently the lowest, the launch cost per kilogram of payload will be reduced from 20,000 yuan/kg to about 3,000 yuan/kg, and after the number of launches, it can even be reduced to 2,000 yuan/kg, or even lower about 1,000."
"The launch cost of 3000 yuan / kg...... At present, no space launch agency can reduce costs to this extent. ”
"But we can do it, only we can do it."
"In the future, we can complete any outer space construction project at the lowest cost, and our cost performance is incomparable."
Well~
Chen Jin nodded.
Matured.
The time is basically ripe for Xinghai Technology to fully enter space.
Generally speaking, the explosion in the field of science and technology stems from the revolutionary development of information technology, such as 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G communication technologies, which have brought explosive development to science and technology.
The explosion of the industrial field is mainly caused by changes in the use of energy, such as steam engines, internal combustion engines, nuclear fission, nuclear fusion, ...... With the evolution of energy utilization, the production efficiency and living space of human beings have been greatly improved.
The high-energy No. 3 battery is the beginning of mankind's comprehensive entry into the universe.
