ps: Thank you, the reward of the little demon fairy in troubled times; Thank you to the dragon family, the end of the world, 5454988454, wwy's monthly pass, and thank you to all of you who gave me the first recommendation ticket~~
Qingquan Technology's possession of quantum bubble weapons is extremely tightly blocked, and Liu Qingquan has set the encryption level to SSS level, and there are very few people who have the authority to know about it, because this thing is too important, especially to be able to restrain nuclear weapons, if the news leaks out, it is easy to cause a worldwide shock, breaking the hard-won delicate balance. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Although the scientists of the Quantum Research Center, who have developed the quantum foam weapon, are a little unhappy at this time, they cannot loudly announce this major achievement to the world, and they have to hide it.
However, Liu Qingquan is not a person who has made a lot of contributions, the scientists of the Quantum Research Center have collectively been promoted, salary increases or something, and they can be given, Liu Qingquan has never been stingy, but all this is quietly and silently.
"Jingbo, I've wronged everyone for the time being!" At the award meeting, Liu Qingquan said to Zhou Jingbo embarrassedly.
"Boss, what's this! Just treat us to a late-night snack! Zhou Jingbo said disapprerovingly, he was also very aware of the importance of this quantum foam weapon, so naturally he would not be surprised that Liu Qingquan was tightly sealed.
"Haha, that's easy to say!" Liu Qingquan was naturally happy to agree.
On the other side, in Qingquan Science and Technology Chang'an Space City, in the old factory area, Jiang Zhipeng is leading hundreds of scientists to discuss something fiercely.
"Think about it, if a spaceship is going to fly in space for decades, or even hundreds of years, what should you pay attention to?" Jiang Zhipeng also had a headache at this time, because he received a very headache task, designing and building unmanned exploration spacecraft, all of which were to be launched into galaxies near the solar system.
The future of Qingquan Technology is in the universe, and it is natural to prepare for the future exploration of extragalaxies, but the distance between galaxies and galaxies is all calculated in light years, and how many years the light will travel, you can imagine how far away the distance is, and it will take a very long time.
What galaxies are there near the solar system? How far are they? According to the distance from the solar system, the stars near the solar system are;
1, Centauri, 4.3 light-years away from the solar system, has three stars, called Centaur ABC star.
2. The Canis Major Galaxy, located 8.6 light-years from the solar system, is called Sirius.
3, Canis Minor, 11 light-years away from the solar system, its star is called Nanhesan.
4, Aquila Galaxy, 16 light years away from the solar system, its star is called the Cowherd Star (author: It's really called the Cowherd Star, it's not me who gilded myself, it's a coincidence, it's a pure coincidence~~)
5. The Southern Fish Galaxy, located 22 light-years from the solar system, has a star called Beiluoshimen (strange star name).
6. The Lyra galaxy, located 25 light-years from the solar system, is called Vega.
7. The Makuri Galaxy, located 30 light-years from the solar system, is called Arcturus.
8. The Gemini Galaxy, located 35 light-years from the solar system, has a star called Beihe-san.
ā¦ā¦
The later galaxies are not listed one by one, and the stars you see at night are actually stars, and as for the distance, any one that comes out will exceed the stars listed above.
At present, Qingquan Technology relies on observing the luminescence of the stars of these galaxies to estimate their distance and some basic conditions, but because the distance is too far, it is impossible to have an in-depth understanding of these galaxies, and it is impossible to conclude whether these galaxies have intelligent civilizations.
Take the nearest galaxy to the solar system called Centauri as an example, the distance is 4.3 light years, according to the current science and technology, we only know that Centauri is a triad star, composed of three stars, and then we can infer that there can be no life in the triad star system according to the reason for the formation of life on the earth's side, let alone the birth of civilization, which is still too arbitrary!
Therefore, it is necessary to send probes to explore these galaxies in advance and get first-hand information.
Moreover, there are many advantages to launching an exploration spacecraft to these galaxies in advance, and with the current development speed of Qingquan Technology, I believe that it will soon be able to truly realize direct interstellar immigration and exploration.
If you launch a space probe in advance, you can know a lot of important information in advance, such as some basic information about the star system, how many planets there are, distance, size, whether there are water resources, etc., to lay the foundation for future interstellar activities.
At the same time, this can also be used to detect the current science and technology, especially the current quantum communication technology, to know that such a long distance, if the traditional electromagnetic wave technology is used, the round-trip time of the signal is also calculated in years, but the quantum communication technology can ignore the real-time communication of the distance.
But whether it is really the same as in theory, this needs to be tested by two places far away from each other, and this spacecraft ready to be sent to an alien galaxy can take on this task, and as the flight continues to grow, the test can be continuously verified.
And the spacecraft can also scatter a lot of small explorers and the like along the way, Qingquan Technology can monitor all the areas around the solar system through these explorers, forming a monitoring network, well, although the hole in this network is a bit big, but after all, it is also a monitoring network.
Therefore, Qingquan Technology, which aims at the starry sky of the universe, must prepare for the future now, and the launch of some unmanned exploration spacecraft in advance will naturally be put on the agenda in the past, and this task will fall to Jiang Zhipeng.
"Jiang Gong, the distance between galaxies is too far, our current technology, accelerating the spacecraft to 0.2 times the speed of light is almost the limit, this is still with nuclear fusion power, that is to say, it will take at least 20 years for this spacecraft to fly to the nearest Centauri galaxy!"
"Although in the past 20 years, the spacecraft is only started when it starts to depart and arrive, and the time in between is to rely on inertial flight, which can allow the spacecraft to hibernate and only retain a few working instruments, but this is still a considerable test for the spacecraft and all the equipment!"
"After all, it's more than 20 years, even more than 100 years, so I think the durability and reliability of all instruments must be very high, and the design should also take into account the problem of long-term work, or bring enough spare parts!"
Lu Jin, who was in charge of aerospace power, was also transferred, and he thought about it to express his opinion.
"What Lu Gong said is very reasonable, the instruments and equipment in it can be dormant, but the shell of the spacecraft has always been in the universe, although there is no air in the universe, but there are a lot of rays, radiation, etc., will this steel change under long-term rays and radiation, I think it is also to be considered!"
"We can consider making the ship's hull from the latest materials, and build it thicker, I think it should be possible!"
"In terms of internal components, I think we should try to design it as simple and easy to replace as possible, and at the same time place a maintenance robot inside, and wake up the robot to replace it when there is a problem with the components!"
ā¦ā¦
One by one, the scientists said their thoughts, Jiang Zhipeng nodded, while instructing his assistant to record them, and for some suggestions with high feasibility, he immediately took them out and discussed them with everyone.
"I think everyone's opinions are very good, but I think people have forgotten a very important thing, which is something that no one has taken into account!"
A handsome-looking, slightly shy scientist raised his hand to speak.
"David, if you have any good suggestions, just say it!" Jiang Zhipeng recognized at a glance that this was a newcomer who graduated from Qingquan University, his name was David Zhang, an overseas Chinese, who performed very well in school and was directly assigned to Jiang Zhipeng.
"I think we should not only consider the long-term performance of the spacecraft, but also how we should approach it if our spacecraft encounters an alien civilization in an alien system. At the same time, how to prevent our technology from being leaked! I think that's something to take into account as well! ā
David Zhang looked at the scientific seniors who had seen hundreds of people in front of him, and was a little timid, but he still said his thoughts and considerations loudly.
"Very good advice, I didn't think of it!" Lu Jin slapped his thigh violently when he heard this.
At first, everyone just thought about how to build a spaceship, so that the spacecraft can maintain normal work for a long time, and at the same time think of various ways to explore these alien systems, but they didn't think that if they encountered an alien civilization, what would the civilization do?
"What should we do if we encounter an alien civilization? David, very remarkable, very original in considering the problem, very own ideas! Jiang Zhipeng gave a high evaluation, and he couldn't help but praise in his heart.
"David, I wonder if you have any good ideas?" Jiang Zhipeng thought about it and continued to ask him, since he raised these questions, he must have some ideas.
"Let me answer the last question first, that is, if you encounter an alien civilization, how should the civilization keep its technology secret, the unmanned exploration spacecraft we launched can be said to be the culmination of the current technology, if the technology in it is known by the alien civilization, the civilization is not as good as ours can be vigorously developed, if the civilization level is higher than ours, we can infer our scientific and technological level from it!"
"This is very bad for us, so I think our unmanned exploration spacecraft must have a self-destruct program to protect its technology!" When David Zhang spoke, he was full of spirits!
"Not bad! You really should set up a self-destruct program! Jiang Zhipeng nodded, this self-destructive, didn't he just research the quantum bubble bomb not long ago, isn't this the best choice!
A scientific exploration spacecraft, especially the one that Qingquan Technology is going to use to launch into an alien galaxy, can be said to be the crystallization of Qingquan Technology's current technology, and if there is no self-destruction program, it is really quite dangerous!
