Chapter 336 The Space Shade Project is in progress
The world is always developing at a high speed, and master companies are no exception; While Wang Nannan was having a headache for his satellite department, Zhong Yuanxing was directing his department to conduct the final test in space.
The space environment science and technology department is definitely not an easy department, and in the face of complex and changeable space weather, everyone is powerless.
However, as the Master Corporation's Space Mirror program progresses, the dependence on the space environment department has become more and more important. The Space Mirror is located in outer space 200,000 kilometers away from the Earth, where the Space Mirror has been detached from the protection of the Earth's magnetic field; Once there is an invisible powerful ray or a solar storm, the consequences are unimaginable. The fragile space mirror will disappear like a bubble in an instant.
And now, the master company is making the next preparation: the sunshade plan!
Compared to the Space Mirror program, the Shade program is a supplement; If it is only reflected to the earth, it will accumulate the earth's energy over time, and the final result will be to destroy the ecology of the earth. In fact, a large number of numbers show that the ecology of the Earth's surface is actually very fragile: an asteroid with a diameter of 10 kilometers can destroy life on the Earth's surface; A one-third slowdown in the Earth's rotation would result in the extinction of humanity; Mankind's existing nuclear warheads can destroy the planet dozens of times; Even solar storms have the potential to wipe out the Earth's surface!
And now, with the development of the master company's space mirror program, the earth has been affected a little, and the first area in China to enjoy 24-hour sunshine has begun to rise, and the ground is a little dry; This is definitely not a good phenomenon for the planet. Therefore, the space sunshade program corresponding to the Space Mirror program must be launched.
The first thing to do is to shade the lifeless places such as the mountains, plateaus, and deserts in China; Of course, it will not be completely occluded, but will only use the corresponding technology to reduce the light in these places to a certain extent, such as 50%, 30%, etc.; The specific amount should be calculated according to the scientific number jù, and try to ensure the stability of the earth's ecology.
Because, you don't know what kind of consequences will be caused by ecological damage, since you don't know, try to maintain a stable dìng.
However, strictly speaking, such as the Space Mirror, it can be regarded as a unique satellite technology.
In the evening, Zhong Yuanxing submitted the calculated number jù to Zhang Jingyuan's table.
According to calculations, the noon sun in the equatorial part should be 38% shaded without affecting the earth's environment; The Gobi region of the Chinese Desert should be shaded by 53% of the sun, while the plateau area should be shaded by 30% of the sun. In addition, in places like Beiping, during the daytime, the sun exposure should be reduced by 15% to ensure that the temperature is stable. There are also places such as the North and South Poles, which need to block out about 17% of the sun, and even allow the melting North and South Poles to recover slowly.
Zhang Jingyuan just took a look, and after checking the relevant numbers, he simply replied with the word "approval" - you can implement the plan.
The space sunshade program was carried out under the joint supervision of the Ministry of Space Environment Science and Technology, Zhang Weiwei and Mu Xinghai; Before that, because the space shading, reflection and other plans affect the world, the master company had to inform the world: we are going to make the next plan, don't panic.
In this regard, the countries of the world can only smile bitterly, your master company is the old man, who dares to provoke you! Indonesia has become a thing of the past, and it is said that the area is particularly rich in water tanks and has a large number of marine fish.
However, these countries also know that the master company has good intentions, and now that the world is heating up, it must be cooled down; And the best cooling measure, of course, is to reduce direct sunlight; It's just that sunlight is a necessary thing for life on earth, and without sunlight, photosynthesis cannot be carried out, and it will inevitably lead to ecological collapse. Of course, the master company will not do this, but use the same method as blocking the mesh, staggered to cover the mesh one by one (you can think of it as a chess board). The sunlight through the remaining voids will be evenly distributed on the earth's surface under the action of the earth's air scattering. At that time, the most intense midday sunlight will be treated to turn into mild sunlight conducive to photosynthesis, so that the photosynthesis of plants on the earth will be further enhanced.
On April 12, the state leaders of the airborne master company were to conduct an inspection. To be precise, it is necessary to understand the specific technology used in the space shading program that the master company is about to implement. Some things, especially space technology, are missing in the slightest, and the master company is also considered the top technology group in the world today, so it is necessary to inspect.
Of course, the most important thing is that this leader, the new chairman of Huaxia, had completed the handover at the beginning of the year, but because it was not the election time, it was not made public; However, the handling of various government affairs has already begun.
The first time I saw this new chairman, unlike the previous one, he looked only about 40 years old on the surface, full of energy, and under the leadership of Zhang Jingyuan, he inspected some places that could be made public by the master company. In this day and age, it is necessary to have a vision of space; Therefore, after the inspection, the new chairman actually proposed to follow the space construction team and visit the site to observe the arrangement of the space visor.
Of course you can!
Zhang Jingyuan agreed without hesitation.
However, the little beauty who followed the new chairman was the one Zhang Jingyuan had seen before, and when he saw Zhang Jingyuan, he still had a disdainful face, and it was said that she was the daughter of the new chairman; In this regard, Zhang Jingyuan also laughed. Then he took the chairman to observe the details of the visor.
A visor is different from a reflector; It's about consuming sunlight. However, in the case of such a terrifying consumption of space construction, the master company is also in line with the maximization of interests, and the sunshades that block the sunlight are all photovoltaic cells. On the one hand, photovoltaic cells can provide the power demand of the visor itself, on the other hand, it can also accumulate electricity, and the master company will mount some physical batteries around the visor to use solar energy to charge and maximize the use of resources.
In addition, each of these visors can be adjusted and can be flipped 90°, which is beneficial for adjusting the intensity of sunlight. With such a technology, the cost of the space sunshade plan is 3,000 yuan per square meter, which is similar to the space mirror plan.
To assemble the space visor, it is necessary to have engineers working in space; Fortunately, over the years, the master company has its own space operation team, as well as professional space operation automation machinery assistance.
"Chairman, please." Mu Xinghai personally carried the new generation of chairmen to space for sightseeing. As a national president, we must go to space to see the earth, the world, the space, and the development of mankind in this era.
Two new space shuttles Rise, carrying more than 0.4 square kilometers of space visors, took off on the long runway, and the powerful scientific and technological force made the earth tremble, and the air exploded directly; only such a powerful force can send the space shuttle weighing thousands of tons into space.
Then, some space shuttles such as Dream and Explorer took off, and carriers, crews, operating machinery, etc., followed closely behind the Rise spaceflight.
The position of the space visor, which is just the opposite of the position of the space mirror, is in front of the earth, inserted between the earth and the sun, and the distance from the earth is also 200,000 kilometers.
The chairman lay quietly on the bed, looking at space through his sunglasses. Human technology has been able to do so far.
Watching the space visors being opened, the astronauts combining these sunshades into a continent that seems to be extending in space, watching the photovoltaic cells start to work to provide energy for the operating machinery, and watching the qiē and qiē floating in space like this, the "beauty" of technology and struggle shocked everyone. Even Mu Xinghai, who often saw this kind of operation site, was a little amazed.
And in the rear, the sun is blazing!
(Sorry, this chapter isn't very good, it's a farewell ceremony for an era.) The article enters the fourth volume, and will also enter the real era of space exploration; With the constraints of the ground out of the way, let's enter a bolder and wilder world. )
