Chapter 267: A Complete Plan
"Sit." Zhao Qingyun was busy, and Sun Feiyu poured a cup of tea for the two. There is not even a basic framework in place, and everything needs to be started from scratch.
Zhao Qingyun was also in a hurry, and then said: "Liu Haibo, space exploration is an inevitable part of the space age.
In the Age of Discovery, human beings explored new continents and oceans; In the age of aviation, we explore the sky and look up at the stars. Then, in the space age, in the space age, we have to explore space.
I don't think it's necessary to say much about the significance of space exploration, everyone has enough knowledge. What I want to say is that we are strictly speaking now, it should be out of the space age, not the space age.
The so-called space age is the process of human beings walking out of the earth; The space age, on the other hand, is the process of exploring and developing space.
But with our current technology, we're rapidly transitioning to the space age; Ten years at most, you can truly enter the space age. Therefore, space exploration also has to be put on the agenda.
We're building a space base, we're going to build a space mirror, so we have to explore it to be safe. On earth, it is never possible to escape the embarrassing situation of the authorities. So, you have to get out.
But the dangers of space, not to mention, low temperatures, no air, strong solar radiation, solar wind, etc., cosmic rays are deadly threats.
And as the vanguard of space exploration, the pressure on your shoulders is also enormous. First of all, you must be responsible for the life safety of the team members, and then, you must also complete the company's tasks with quality and quantity. The pressure was so great that I didn't have the confidence to fully follow suit. It's just that human beings have developed to the point where we have to bite the bullet. Speaking of this, Zhao Qingyun paused for a moment, and then asked in a somewhat formal tone: "
Liu Haibo, after a night of consideration, have you decided that you are willing to accept such a heavy responsibility? Now you have one more chance; And after today, you can only go one way to the end. Perhaps, you will also pay with your life for it. This is not alarmism, the dangers of space, we are actually ignorant of it now. ā
"Mr. Zhao, I am willing to accept such a heavy responsibility, this is my honor. As a soldier, my biggest fear is not death, but inaction.
But I have only one request: If, in the event of my tragic death, please let my son take my place; Of course, I also want to go down in history! ā
"Good! Your request, I agreed! Zhao Qingshan looked at Liu Haibo, who had a firm attitude, and was very happy, the two-meter tall man stood up and patted Liu Haibo's shoulder vigorously. Fortunately, the current Liu Haibo is also a master of the Void Dan Period, otherwise he would really be in the hospital.
"Haha......" Seeing Liu Haibo's somewhat flushed face, Zhao Qingyun laughed a little mischievously, "You can talk about your plan first." ā
'Good. Liu Haibo turned on his computer and called up the content of the night's work, "First of all, space exploration is not an isolated mission, but a collective mission that requires coordinated operations.
For example, we need a space shuttle, for example, we need a corresponding scientific research team, for example, we need a ground command center, or a space command center, we need a medical team.
In addition, Mr. Zhao, I thought about it for a long time yesterday and found that if we want to complete space exploration, there is still a lack of technology. That is the technology that simulates the Earth's magnetic field. Space radiation is strict, and we don't know when we'll be able to meet the eruption of the sun.
I studied the U.S. lunar landing program, which landed on the moon during an interval between solar winds. With our current technology, space tourism is okay for a short period of time, but long-term space exploration will inevitably encounter solar storms.
We are not afraid of sacrifice, but we are afraid of sacrifice that does not matter. ā
"Your question is good. However, since the company has decided to go on a space expedition, of course, it is also well prepared. Wait a minute, the two of you will come with me to see the artificial magnetic field generator that the company is putting its final tests on. Absolutely blow your mind! Speaking of this, Zhao Qingyun smiled mysteriously.
In fact, the technology of artificial magnetic field generators has been mastered by humans for a long time, but no one has used it. (Guess, this is a technology that is already available on Earth right now, a technology that is in the real yĆ n chamber and has been tested.) And the principle is very simple. Since I want to write science fiction, try to use technology that is close to reality, etc.; Unless you don't know it, or what the plot needs, you will add an illusory plot. ļ¼
Hearing Zhao Qingyun say this, Liu Haibo temporarily let go of the doubts in his heart. And began to speak out about his detailed plans.
"Mr. Zhao, my general plan is as follows: first, we must have enough energy, food, and water. In space exploration, all of this is consumed. Maybe an expedition to space could take months or even years. The specific situation cannot be decided, it depends on the actual situation.
The best way to compensate for energy food in space is to build a mobile space base. The base doesn't need to be too big, but it needs to have nuclear power plants, land, plant planting, etc., with an artificial gravity field for astronauts to rest.
Nuclear power plants are huge, but now we have the ability to build some small nuclear power plants on the ground into modules and send them into space to assemble. And in space, even if the nuclear power plant is bloated, it doesn't matter; In a gravity-free environment, we can easily tow tens of thousands of tons of objects. In any case, nuclear energy is still the greatest force that mankind can control today. In space exploration, photovoltaic power generation devices are too bloated, unsafe, and susceptible to solar magnetic storms.
Photovoltaic power generation, after all, is only suitable for stationary.
This is my planning drawing, and it is also the lowest cost way to plan.
A 100-meter-sized cube (6 faces), in which there should be a maintenance warehouse, a storage base, a space for plant growth, a nuclear power plant setup, etc.
The nuclear power plant is placed in the middle of the cube, and according to the current nuclear power technology, it is possible to build a fully automated small nuclear power plant with a power of 5 million kWh. Five of the faces, with a three-metre height space, are used to grow plants, and the other is used to build a folding maintenance factory. This factory has to have its own rotation function, which can create artificial gravity.
The main cost of this plan is the construction of nuclear power and the transportation of steel. According to the existing technology plan, the cost price is about 300 billion yuan. In the later stage, as the technology matures, the cost may even be further reduced.
Perhaps, we can build a space factory and use solar energy to smelt meteorites in space to produce and replicate space factories. ā
"Okay, okay," Zhao Qingyun interrupted Liu Haibo's plan, "Your plan is complete, but I need time." And now, we can only keep it simple. Moreover, the current space exploration is estimated to be the limit of ten days and half a month. To be precise, we are now focusing on probing, followed by probing.
The plan is to build a large number of photovoltaic bases in space, and then charge a large number of physical batteries. You will be carrying compressed air or water, as well as plenty of fully charged batteries, for your initial exploration of space.
Each operation, about ten days. The exploration range is within the orbits of Mars and Venus. ā
Oh...... Liu Haibo blinked, and the gap between him and his own imagination is a little big!
