When Anna got out of the car, Wu Zhe was in the hotel, and saw her through the glass, more mature and more beautiful than she had in her impression.

Anna also saw Wu Zhe and beckoned to him.

After sitting down across from Wu Zhe, Anna expertly ordered a cup of coffee and several snacks. Then he took a serious look at Wu Zhe: "You have very little time to wake up from hibernation." ”

"Yes, hibernate for 6o years," Wu Zhe also asked her, "what about you?" ”

"Add it up, two or three years...... It's been a busy time lately. As Anna spoke, she knocked on their table, Wu Zhe is still a display screen, she operated the mobile phone, and a lot of information appeared on the display, some of which Wu Zhe had seen on that website.

Wu Zhe shook his head: "I don't understand these things, you can just say how much it costs." ”

"You're so loud......" Anna joked, "I've got a lot of me, I'm afraid you can't afford it." ”

If it weren't for the news that Wu Zhe was "kidnapped" in the Netherlands, Anna might not have thought that the young man she had met in a hurry 6o years ago would now be one of the few richest people in the world. In fact, there were already some signs when they met at that time, Wu Zhe spent money on urban lighting - generally rich people can do it, and ordinary people in the hibernation era are very frugal.

"This question...... You're really asking me," Wu Zhe touched the back of his head in embarrassment.

Before, he thought that the numbers he saw in Lu Jingwen's account were all, but when he talked about it with Qimo occasionally, he realized that it was far from it.

Real estate, stocks, funds. Bonds, Copyrights, Patents...... If you want to list all the wealth under Wu Zhe's name in a list, it may take several days just to understand this list, let alone sort out the valuation. I've come up with an exact number.

Calculating wealth was a complex discipline in Wu Zhe's time, and today, the complexity of this science shows no signs of simplification, but because of the hibernation factor, the concept of wealth has been more deeply blurred - Wu Zhe once went to university to listen to the economics of hibernation, and he can understand some concepts, but it is still far from being able to really understand.

"Do you wake up every 6o years? I've heard that many Chinese love this number...... According to you, a family? ”

"Yijiazi." Wu Zhe said, "I just happened by accident...... It was our company's AI that woke me up. ”

"And when were you going to wake up?"

Wu Zhe shook his head: "For me, it's the same all the time...... What about you? ”

"Twenty or thirty years, it takes about half a year to a year to wake up once...... I'm now the account manager for this website -- that is, I specialize in investing. I usually follow the trajectory of those customers, and if they get rich, I will come to the door and ask for a few dollars. ”

Wu Zhe smiled.

"Of course, you were an accident...... But you also have money," Anna spoke very directly. In the era of hibernation, many people say like this, "It's not very difficult to make money in this era." But most people don't know how to spend it...... At least I think it's better to invest in our field than to sleep in a hibernation cabinet for a few more years. ”

"I'm sure you've read the material on the website," Anna began, "and a lot has been done in the theoretical study of space navigation for more than half a century. But there is one fundamental problem that cannot be solved, and that is the cost of shooting. The first rockets appeared in the 2o century, but now it is the 23rd century, which is unimaginable, almost three centuries apart. Nuclear fusion power stations have covered the earth, but they are still the world of chemical energy. ”

Anna opened the document again, pointed to a design that looked like a railroad track, and asked Wu Zhe, "Do you know what this is?" ”

Wu Zhe took a look, this thing looked like the track of something, but it was not just two parallel lines on the ground, but a dozen dense rows, and these dozen long rails were wrapped in the center by the closed material, which looked like cannons.

But since Anna mentioned space, it's not hard to guess what this thing does.

"Switching to electromagnetic plus ejection?"

"Yes," Anna said, pointing to the center of the orbit, "this is also a new direction for Earth's astronautics, and now the cheapest thing on Earth is electricity." The inside is all pumped into a vacuum, and the spaceship is made into a long barrel, like a cannonball, replacing most of the chemical fuels with electricity, and directly hitting the spaceship. We have already asked the technical advisers of several space powers to check the rationality of this orbital technology, and the results of several small orbits used by the real yàn are also very good...... The problem now is the lack of money. ”

"How much?"

Anna didn't rush to say the numbers, but continued to say on the basis of what she had just said: "If it is just on the earth, to build such an orbit, according to the funds we have raised before, it is almost the same, the big deal is to do it slowly. We have chosen several places, and we have almost negotiated with the local government...... But we discussed it internally later, and since we want to do it, we will try to do it all at once.

Orbiting is only the most basic first step of launching a spacecraft, and it is necessary to launch in batches, assemble, and test run ...... You must know that the earth's orbit is planned, and we are a non-governmental organization, so we can't apply for indicators at all, let alone assemble, train, and even build a base in the future. If we build orbits now, at best, we will shoot a few small spacecraft and make a few circles in the sky......

We envision a spacecraft that can fly out of the solar system, and if we insist on going out of the Earth, this goal is too far away.

So we're going to make an outbound station on the moon now, and the moon is now allowed to be stationed by private organizations, but of course there is no one yet.

We first build an orbit on the earth, as long as the basic launch function is satisfied, and then we will shoot the construction materials to the moon in batches, and several countries are already planning to build permanent power stations there, specifically to provide energy support for the space industry. We can build a larger orbit there, both in terms of volume and power, and all the parts of the spacecraft will be reassembled on the moon, where the escape degree is only one-sixth of that of the earth, and the surface of the moon does not even need to be vacuumed, so to speak, it is a natural shooting field......"

As Anna spoke, she also showed Wu Zhe a demo animation - this animation was made by herself improvised before she came, which was a bit clumsy, but the meaning was clear.

"You mean to say that the orbit on Earth is just a springboard, and everything has to be shot to the moon and there again?"

"That's pretty much what it means," Anna said in a somewhat excited tone, "This is also the benefit of orbital rockets, because the launch energy is not in the hull itself, you can engage in such a multi-stage launch, and if you build a real O gravity launch station in space in the future, it can be very convenient to shoot directly from the earth......

However, if it is a traditional chemical rocket, the fuel of a single launch is dozens of times heavier than the load, and multi-stage launch is simply unrealistic. ”

"o Gravity shooting station? Where does the energy for the orbit come from? ”

"It's not hard to solve, microwave power, laser power - the loss in space is very low. Even if it's just solar energy, it's not impossible. Of course, there is a simpler way, which is to bring antimatter directly from the earth and use antimatter as propellant......"

"You mean antimatter motives?" Wu Zhe was a little excited when he heard this, "Now there is?" ”

"The real thing hasn't ...... yet," Anna waved her hand, "but it's already mature in theory." It's not difficult at all, at least not as hard as you think. The basic structure of the antimatter engine is even simpler than that of a conventional diesel engine - similar to that of a refueler on Earth, but the technical requirements are much lower than that of a refueler.

On Earth, the role of the adder is to add two particles, collide with each other precisely, record the results, collect reactants - in fact, most of the antimatter on Earth is made in this way, you can go to the Science and Technology Museum. If I'm not mistaken, there is now 1 milligram of antinickel in that museum in Beijing, which can be seen with a magnifying glass, and is also the single largest surviving antimatter in the world.

Antimatter motivation is the inverse of this process, the annihilation of antimatter, the resulting energy plus particles. We can create a powerful electromagnetic field, which is similar to the principle of fusion reactors today -- but it's the exact opposite. This electromagnetic field is the charged particles that are added, and only when the degree is above a certain threshold can they fly out of the hull of the ship, which is the most economical radiation propulsion in space. By the way, you can check this out. ”

Anna showed Wu Zhe the previous website, the part of a spaceship - click on this part, Wu Zhe clearly saw that the name of this part is 9o4 antimatter motive, just look like a spider, the body is embedded in the center of the spaceship, and the legs that stretch out from all directions run through the outside of the spaceship. As with any other component, you can still find the manufacturer, the material of the part, and the exact design drawing.

"Most of the supporting technologies on the spaceship, in 2oo years, this website has collected and verified a lot, and antimatter motives are just one of them. This is not a novel concept, after the commercialization of the first fusion reactor, antimatter has been developed in more than ten years, and on the basis of antimatter, the process of making motivation is as simple as primitive man seeing a fire and naturally thinking of making a stove and preserving the fire.

Theoretically, there is nothing wrong with this thing, and the real yàn on the computer is already very perfect. But the key is that it's not practical enough - it's too costly. Even in the era of nuclear fusion, antimatter is still too expensive, and the main reason for the high cost is not the cost of manufacturing, the cost of manufacturing antimatter is only electricity, but collection and preservation - there are only a few countries in the world that have special additives for collecting antimatter, which is much more expensive than our orbits, and the collection efficiency is still very low, often 1o units of antimatter are produced, and it is good to be able to collect 1.
