Chapter 294: Space Lab Project
On September 12, Zhou Yu received a call from Lu Jinming.
The relevant departments of the state have promised Xinghuo Technology to carry out the space assembly experiment of the main cabin of the space station in advance.
Zhou Yu learned the news, he was very happy, this is a major good news for Xinghuo Technology.
Xinghuo Technology put forward this request, and it can be approved by the relevant departments so quickly, which is really important and indispensable for this project.
Preliminary and well-developed experiments must be carried out to determine whether the mass projector can complete the task of transporting and assembling space station components.
The mass projector is not only to transport equipment into space, but also to assemble the scattered equipment of the space station into a real space station.
A space station consisting of only two or three compartments, which can carry out self-docking.
The overall structure of the space station, which consists of hundreds of cabins, is very complex and must be assembled with specialized equipment.
The most convenient device for this function is the cargo box of the mass projector.
Verification of whether the mass projector cargo box can be completed accurately, and the assembly of the relevant compartments of the space station are related to the real success of the space station program.
As long as the leaders are in their right minds, they will not stop Xinghuo Technology from carrying out this kind of experiment.
What's more, Xinghuo Technology is responsible for the construction of relevant cabins, but it is proposed that these cabins should be used as scientific research plans, hoping that the state will give technical guidance.
The country is also preparing to establish a scientific research laboratory on the space station, which will give scientists early access to the space laboratory and help them become proficient in the space laboratory.
Xinghuo Technology has paid so much, of course, it has its own selfishness.
Space labs built by Starfire Technology, they will remain in space until the end of their life.
Even if it does not cooperate with the country, Xinghuo Technology will not suffer losses, this is a profitable business.
This cooperation can also help Xinghuo Technology build a space laboratory with the support of the country's overall scientific research strength.
In the fields of materials, biology and quantum mechanics, Xinghuo Technology has a great level of scientists, but its strength in the field of basic science is simply not enough.
The basic science laboratory led by Wei Tianpeng also has a trend of developing towards the Institute of Mathematics, and the achievements of mathematics are very prominent, and a lot of other basic experiments have been invested, but there is still no harvest.
This is the proof that Xinghuo Technology is not strong in the field of basic science.
In the field of basic science, Xinghuo Technology can only choose valuable fields to make breakthroughs.
Only the state can devote the strength of the whole country to the field of basic science, regardless of the cost.
Xinghuo Technology just took advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make up for its shortcomings in basic science.
Zhou Yu came to the scientific research center, and the main scientists attended the meeting he chaired.
Zhou Yu looked at the scientist and said, "This time, Xinghuo Space Company is going to launch multiple space station components into space.
There are a lot of space labs among them, and we have negotiated with the relevant departments, and these space labs are funded by us.
The Chinese Academy of Sciences and various universities in China helped us design the space lab, and they also helped us revise our research plans.
If you have any suggestions, you can put them forward now, so that other scientists, especially academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, can optimize the experimental project for you. ”
Everyone knows that this opportunity is rare, and no one dares to guarantee that they are absolute authority in a certain field.
Even scientists with the same technology as themselves may think differently when they see their proposed experimental scheme.
Zhou Yu saw that the scientists were thinking, and he solemnly emphasized: "This must be a topic related to the space laboratory, not a problem you are encountering now."
We are relying on the power of the state, that is, in the process of completing the task, by the way, add some private goods into it, don't do it too obviously. ”
Wang Xiaoxiao was the first to speak: "We are now in a bottleneck in the gene laboratory, using gene editing methods to edit known organisms.
We are also very cautious unless we make sure that the modified genes are not harmful.
Otherwise, after genetic modification, it may cause the genetic collapse of a certain species, or even the collapse of a certain biological chain.
In the end, all the consequences are borne by human beings.
I read the previous scientific literature to find a way to edit genes that would not affect living things today.
Now there is only a general idea, which is to introduce artificial base pair ZPSB.
Now the genetic material ribonucleic acid of natural organisms is composed of 4 base pairs, they are CGTA, and the corresponding Chinese names are cytosine, guanine, thymine, adenine.
The pairing rule is C with G, T with A, C and G are connected by 3 hydrogen bonds, and T and A are 2 hydrogen bonds.
ZPSB IV is an artificial base pair, and they can also form the genetic material of living organisms.
Their pairing principle is Z with P and S with B, both of which are connected by 3 hydrogen bonds.
The genetic material is completely composed of the 4 base pairs of ZPSB, and the organism will never insert its genes into the genes of all the current organisms, and the two systems are not compatible at all.
But in order to avoid the new biological hazards, the experimental site must be completely isolated, and the space laboratory is suitable. ”
"You're doing a great job with this project, go back and make a complete plan. Others have no projects. Zhou Yu looked at everyone and said.
"I propose to build a nuclear power plant in space, and if we want to achieve an absolute vacuum on Earth, the equipment required is very energy-intensive, and there are frequent accidents," Zhao said.
The space laboratory is naturally a vacuum, there are no impurities in it, and it is still in a weightless state, which is very suitable for the processing environment of a nuclear power plant.
Now the mass projector cargo box can only be transported one-way, transporting spacecraft and other materials into space and returning to the ground with empty boxes.
Once the space factory is built, the mass projector cargo box can be brought back with supplies produced in space.
This is only a small increase in the operating cost of mass projectors, but we have a much better nuclear plant capacity. ”
"It's a good project, but it's not about the space station program, how can it be added to the overall plan."
Zhao Qianyi said with a smile: "Our nuclear power factory can produce accessories for the space station, so we can add it to the space station program."
Li Qihua also suggested: "My current research on anti-gravity technology is stuck in a bottleneck, and the gravitational pull of the earth is still too small, and it is difficult to capture the gravitational force of the earth.
I want to build a space lab that captures the gravitational pull of the sun or the gravitational pull of stars.
By studying the gravitational pull of large stars, find ways to defy gravity, and implement anti-gravity technology on Earth.
What's more, after our speculation, in space objects are more obviously affected by the gravitational pull of the earth.
There are no more complex factors to interfere with, which is very helpful for the research of anti-gravity technology. ”
"Okay, add this item as well." Zhou Yu nodded and said.
The enthusiastic speeches of several of them directly led to the emotions of other scientists.
They also put forward their own plans, and as long as there was a slight hope of success, Zhou Yu agreed to their plan.
The cost of Xinghuo Technology's own space launch is too low, even if the project fails, it is worth gaining a failed experience.
