Chapter 281: Gravitational Traction

After the publication of the papers in the journal "Spark", scientific research institutions in all countries are urgently studying these papers.

Scientists recognize that gravity and nuclear power will be the bellwether for the next phase of technological explosion.

In major countries, it is easier for scientists to submit applications to study gravitational techniques and obtain funding for research than for other projects.

Xinghuo Technology is also researching gravitational technology, in addition to the Water City Degenerate State Lab, which continues to study degenerate matter, and at the same time uses the particularity of degenerate matter to study gravitational technology in the quantum field.

The Xinghuo Science and Technology Research Center has also set up a gravity laboratory, with Li Qihua, who has made great contributions to the gravity project, as the laboratory director.

Zhou Yu put on his clothes and was about to go out, he looked at the children who were slowly crawling on the ground, having fun, with a gentle look on his face.

"Xiao Jin, I'm going to work now, won't you go to the modern medicine laboratory to have a look?"

Zhou Yu was afraid that Chen Jin would be bored with the children at home, so he proposed that Chen Jin continue to work.

Chen Jin waved his hand: "When children are 1~3 years old, they are the most active, I must always keep an eye on them, intelligent robots cannot be exhaustive."

When they are three years old and have a certain amount of autonomy, I will look at the situation. ”

Zhou Yu left home and did not go to the headquarters of Xinghuo Technology.

Xinghuo Technology is already a large group, the management system is very perfect, and there are quantum computers and artificial intelligence Xianghua staring at the company, and there will be no mistakes.

He went straight to the newly established Gravitational Laboratory at the Research Center.

Zhou Yu approached Li Qihua, the director of the Gravity Laboratory, and asked him about the progress of the Gravity Laboratory's research and development of gravity technology during this time.

Scientific theories are the most difficult, and all technologies must be supported by scientific theories if they want to develop.

However, even with the support of scientific theories, it is very difficult to develop a feasible technology, especially if there is no reference in a new field.

Li Qihua reported to Zhou Yu on the recent situation of the Gravity Laboratory.

"Mr. Zhou, our gravitational laboratory leads the study of macroscopic gravity.

The research on gravitons in the quantum field is located in the Degenerate States Laboratory and is presided over by Professor Zhao Qianyi.

They are now able to control the nuclear force to guide the operation of the quantum, and are working with Mr. Zhang Wei to develop a new quantum computer. ”

When Zhou Yu heard Li Qihua's introduction, there was no trace of joy on his face, this was because he had known the news for a long time.

Nuclear force is the collective name of the four fundamental forces, which all originate from the nucleus of the atom, and the homonym is also the resultant force.

The nuclear force in the quantum field is still relatively easy to control, and Zhang Wei understands the specific situation of gravity.

He cooperated with the Degenerate State Laboratory to control the quantum through nuclear force, develop a new quantum coherence sphere, and bring quantum computers into the era of three-digit sub-bits.

Li Qihua continued: "Our gravity laboratory mainly studies two technologies, anti-gravity technology and gravitational traction technology."

"Anti-gravity technology is a manifestation of gravity.

The gravitational pull of an object on other objects is closely related to the mass, energy, and state of its own graviton.

Now in the laboratory, it is possible to suspend a small cloud of ferric tetroxide molecules in the air with the help of the gravitational pull of the earth. ”

As Li Qihua spoke, he took out a black ferric tetroxide the size of a fingernail from the laboratory.

He threw the ferric tetroxide towards the ground, and it was suspended in the air in the space of about 1 meter away.

"Mr. Zhou, this is the anti-gravity technology we can develop now.

The theory of this technology has made a breakthrough in capturing the effects of magnetic fields through ferric tetroxide itself.

The graviton of the ferric oxide molecule is changed by the transfer of energy through an electromagnetic field.

However, to sustain the anti-gravity phenomenon, it requires an extremely large amount of energy. ”

After Li Qihua said this, the ferric oxide molecule that was suspended in the air suddenly fell to the ground, and it stayed in the air for about a minute.

"The ferric tetroxide molecule can stay in the air for 58 seconds, but it is the energy it takes for this fingernail-sized ferric oxide molecule to stay in the air for 58 seconds.

It can allow the Fuxing high-speed railway to carry a carload of people from Shanghai to Yanjing.

At present, the anti-gravity technology is completely immature, and there are still many difficulties to overcome, but this technology has indeed completed the previous theory.

All we need is to find new ways to control gravity, and anti-gravity technology can make it happen. ”

Li Qihua introduced the anti-gravity technology, and his face suddenly showed an excited look, and he introduced to Zhou Yu: "The anti-gravity technology is just a prototype, and our gravity laboratory has now developed the gravitational traction technology after unremitting efforts.

It can be used as a core technology in the field of spaceflight, and the acceleration of spacecraft is completed through the gravitational pull of the planet, and the effect can now be used practically. ”

Zhou Yu asked curiously: "What is the specific implementation method of gravitational traction technology?" This one sounds a lot like a gravitational slingshot. ”

Li Qihua smiled and said in detail: "Mr. Zhou, the gravitational traction technology and the gravitational slingshot technology are completely different.

Gravitational slingshot technology is a passive use of the gravitational pull of the planet, and the spacecraft enters the gravitational field of the planet from a special angle.

Then fly out from the other side of the planet, so that because of the synthesis of velocity, the spacecraft gains its own speed plus twice the speed of the planet.

Because the mass gap between the spacecraft and the planet is too large, the planet loses very little kinetic energy to accelerate the spacecraft.

This has little effect on the planet's speed, but it can greatly accelerate the spacecraft.

If you do it like the movie Wandering Planet, the quality of the two planets is not very different, it is easy to collide together, and it is extremely difficult to use gravitational slingshot technology to accelerate. ”

"Our gravitational traction technology, which is a macroscopic application of gravity, requires two objects with a mass ratio of more than 10^15 to use gravitational traction technology.

For example, the mass of the Moon is 7.349×10^22 kilograms, and for objects over 70,000 tons, it cannot achieve gravitational traction.

This technology is not only about quality, but also about distance.

On the earth, as long as we get rid of the influence of the earth's gravity on the object, and then through the gravitational traction technology, the object can be accelerated by the traction of the corresponding planet. The Moon can tow objects up to 100 tons at a time. ”

After listening to Li Qihua's introduction, Zhou Yu asked suspiciously: "Gravitational traction technology plays a great role, how do you get rid of the influence of the earth's gravity?"

The easiest way to get rid of the Earth's gravitational pull is to accelerate an object to the first cosmic velocity of 7,900 per second. ”

Li Qihua immediately explained: "Mr. Zhou, gravitational traction technology does not need to make an object reach the first cosmic velocity, it only needs the object to get rid of the decisive influence of the earth's gravity.

You only need to accelerate the object to 1,000 meters per second, and through the gravitational pull of the moon, you can use the gravitational pull of the moon to make the speed of the object rise rapidly.

Quickly reach 7,900 meters per second, free from the influence of the Earth's gravity.

If we can borrow the gravitational pull of the sun in the future, then the objects that can be pulled and the initial velocity requirements of the objects will be lower. ”

"We already have a model of such a device, which I named the mass projector, which can continuously project a spacecraft with a mass of no more than 100 tons at night.

Spacecraft launches borrow the gravitational pull of the moon and require very little energy, which is more economical than space rockets. ”

After Li Qihua finished his introduction, he immediately turned around and took the model of the mass projector, ready to show it to Zhou Yu to see.
