Chapter 254: The Future Development Direction of the Day-by-Day Project

"Luanniao?"

Zhao Yu was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but admire: "Mr. Lin, your name is so good, it is indeed very suitable for the body type of the second-generation mecha." ”

"Okay, Director Zhao, Luan Niao's announcement plan, I will carefully conceive it, if there is nothing to do, I will be busy."

Ignoring Zhao Yu's rainbow fart, Lin Yu waved his hand and directly ordered the expulsion.

"Well, there's one thing."

Zhao Yu hurriedly said: "That's the case, Mr. Lin, isn't the Xuannu fighter now free to travel to and from space." ”

"After Academician Yang Zhong, the general person in charge of the day-by-day project, found out, he wanted me to consult and see if he could ask the Xuannu fighter to help with the delivery of spacecraft."

"Mr. Lin, you also know that the space solar power station of the daily project is tens of thousands of tons, and if it is sent to the sky by rocket, it will not only be time-consuming and laborious, but also difficult to estimate the cost."

"But the Xuannu fighter can not only be reused, but also extremely fast, it only takes ten minutes to reach outer space, which is the best way we can think of it at present."

The current aerospace technology simply cannot do the complete reuse of multiple stages of rockets.

To achieve this level, the estimated completion time given above is 2035.

Only then will the launch cost of the space solar power station be greatly reduced, and the day-by-day project can really begin.

However, with the advent of the Xuannu fighter now, this time-consuming, laborious, and costly transportation problem has been solved in an instant.

"This problem is easy to handle, you let Fuxi calculate and design, on the Xuannu fighter, you can add a new transportation function template."

"It just so happens that Xuannu is not equipped with a laser weapon system yet, and it has a certain capacity space, which should be quite convenient and will not have any impact."

"If you insist on it, at most it will temporarily affect your appearance, and after the delivery task, you can still recover."

Lin Yu gave advice.

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Lin, I'll go tell Academician Yang Zhong."

After receiving an accurate answer, Zhao Yu immediately left with a smile on his face.

End of call.

Lin Yu continued to devote himself to writing key technologies.

The next afternoon.

Lin Yu received Zhao Yu's holographic projection video again.

The video content is simple.

That is, the Xuannu fighter has been transformed and can be transported at any time.

In addition, Academician Yang Zhong, the general director of the day-by-day project, wanted to invite Lin Yu to visit the first docking test between the ground and space of the day-by-day project.

In this regard, Lin Yu thought about it and finally agreed.

Soon, under the pick-up and drop-off of the special plane, Lin Yu took the plane for several hours, and finally came to the site of the daily project, the Xi'an Institute of Science and Technology.

Pick-up point.

Zhao Yu and Academician Yang Zhong, the general leader of the day-by-day project, were already waiting in advance.

After Lin Yu got off the plane, the two sides simply greeted each other, and then rushed directly to the erection site of the day-by-day project.

Half an hour later.

Lin Yu and the others finally arrived at their destination.

At this time, on the wide ground here, stands a giant iron tower seventy or eighty meters high.

On the suspended platform in the middle of the giant tower, there are many large condensers that resemble the eye of the sky.

Under the sunlight, these silver-white condensers are sparkling and shining, which is very dazzling.

Underneath those large condensers, and on the ground, are two huge antenna platforms.

"Mr. Lin, this is the ground test verification system of our day-by-day project, it is composed of four parts, and this is our support tower."

Yang Zhong, the general manager, first pointed to the giant tower, and then pointed to other parts, and enthusiastically introduced: "In the middle is our concentrating system, and down is the transmitting antenna platform and the receiving antenna platform. ”

"Their working principle is to determine the angle at which the condenser needs to be tilted according to the angle of the sun's altitude, and then locate it in the center of the condenser after receiving the sunlight reflected by the condenser

Photovoltaic arrays, which convert them into direct current energy. ”

"Then, through our power management module, the power converted by the four concentrators is converged on the launch antenna in the middle."

"After processing by modules such as oscillators and amplifiers, the electrical energy is further converted into microwaves.

"Finally, as long as the microwave is transmitted to the receiving antenna in the form of wireless transmission, the receiving antenna can rectify the microwave and convert it into direct current again, which can directly supply the load."

Lin Yu nodded.

He had already understood the fundamentals of day-by-day engineering.

"Elder Yang, to what extent can the receiving device of the day-by-day project be miniaturized now?"

Lin Yu suddenly asked.

"Miniaturization of the receiver?"

Yang Zhong was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The original intention of the day-by-day project is to be able to build a solar space station in space to solve our country's energy problem. ”

"So, we didn't have any R&D on miniaturization, because it was completely contrary to our original intention."

In the end, Yang Zhong was also a little puzzled.

The day-by-day project was originally to be done bigger, because if it was small, the power generation was too small, the cost was high, and the loss was large, so it was not cost-effective at all.

It's better to build a solar power plant directly on the ground.

Therefore, he was also a little confused about Lin Yu's sudden question about miniaturization.

Seemingly sensing Yang Zhong's incomprehension, Lin Yu explained unhurriedly: "Elder Yang, my idea is that after the day-by-day project is completely completed, it can be loaded with miniaturized receiving device templates on satellites, drones, cars, mobile phones, etc., large and small. ”

"In this way, no matter where you are, as long as there is sunlight, you can directly achieve power freedom without worrying about any battery life problems."

Lin Yu thinks that the space solar power station should be a "space charging pile" in orbit in the future.

Just like in the current aerospace field, any small and medium-sized satellite launched needs to carry a huge solar sail board to charge, and the charging efficiency is extremely low.

This is because when the satellite is operating in the shadow zone of the earth, there is no sunlight shining on it, so it cannot be recharged at all.

However, if there is a "space charging pile", the satellite no longer needs a huge solar sail board, but only needs to be loaded with a miniaturized receiving device, and it can be charged all the time.

Moreover, in addition to the aerospace field, the two major fields of civil and military have broad practical value.

It can be said that as long as the miniaturized receiving device is loaded, the power supply, disaster relief, and emergencies in remote areas can be used.

In the military field, it can even directly provide power to places such as Chengying mechas, drone mechas, and ground military facilities.

Therefore, this continuous, flexible, reliable and real-time energy supply can not only improve people's living standards, but also ensure the effectiveness of military power and national security.

Killing many birds with one stone belongs to yes.

After listening to Lin Yu's explanation, both Yang Zhong and all the researchers present were all stunned.

They never dreamed that Lin Yu's vision would be so long-term, and they could see the future direction of the day-by-day project at once.

Who is the developer of the day-by-day project?

"Mr. Lin, your idea is too ambitious, judging from the current level of science and technology of the day-by-day project, I am afraid we will not be able to achieve this level."

Half-loud, Yang Zhong said faintly.

"It's okay, you can let Fuxi design a miniaturized receiving device first, see what technical difficulties there are, and if you have any problems, you can come to me at any time, and I will help solve them."

Lin Yu waved his hand, and his tone was very relaxed.

The miniaturization of the day-by-day project must be completed.

Because the impact is too great.

In a sense, the day-by-day project is completely comparable to, or even surpasses, the Suiren clan.

After visiting the ground test verification system, Lin Yu and the others came indoors.

At this time, the Xuannu Aerospace Fighter was on standby in the factory, ready at all times

Make move.

Lin Yu glanced at Xuannu and found that its fuselage had undergone earth-shaking changes, from its original graceful posture and slender arc to bloated.

If you describe it as a game character, it is a sudden change from an assassin to a heavy tank.

The contrast between this appearance and the fuselage is too great.

It's as vivid as Nezha in 100,000 bad jokes.

Inside the main control room.

"Mr. Lin, all the systems are normal, the driver is ready, please instruct."

The Chief Engineer's voice came through the communications headset.

"Let's go, then."

Lin Yu ordered.

The voice fell.

Xuannu slowly activated, and the dazzling white light continued to erupt, and began to levitate in the air.

Soon, when the Xuannu fighter left the factory and came to an altitude of thousands of meters, there was a thunderous roar and a violent explosion.

The next second.

The figure of the Xuannu fighter suddenly disappeared into the air.

All that was left was a ladder-like white sound barrier cloud channel, and the reverberating sound of explosions.

Seeing this terrifying posture, Yang Zhong's researchers were shocked.

And Lin Yu, Zhao Yu and the others had a calm face.

A few minutes later.

Xuannu has left the outer atmosphere and has come to a low-earth orbit of 400 kilometers.

It is densely packed with the International Space Station, small and medium-sized satellites, communication satellites, and so on.

However, Xuannu's destination this time is not here.

Space solar power plants need to be deployed in orbit about 36,000 kilometers from the Earth.

Only there can be guaranteed that the spacecraft can receive the maximum amount of sunlight without deorbiting.

Sixteen minutes later.

The Xuannu fighter came to the designated orbit and opened the bloated fuselage.

Soon, a small spacecraft emerged from inside.

This spacecraft, which is circular in shape, has a large number of solar cells installed in it.

With the calculation and analysis of artificial intelligence, the spacecraft successfully entered orbit and began to dock with the ground test verification system of the daily project.

Inside the main control room.

"A communication signal from the spacecraft has been detected, and data docking is underway."

"The solar elevation angle is being recalculated."

"The tilt of the condenser has been adjusted,"

……

The reports of the engineers came and went.

Yang Zhong stared at the data on the control panel with a nervous expression.

"Ding!"

With the crisp sound of prompts, the spacecraft in space and the test verification system on the ground finally completed the docking.

"Beautiful!"

Seeing this scene, Yang Zhong couldn't help but wave his fist fiercely, and shouted excitedly.

Many researchers also burst into enthusiastic cheers.

Only Lin Yu asked without changing his face: "Elder Yang, can the current spacecraft collect solar energy and send it back to Earth?" ”

"Of course."

Yang Zhong said in a somewhat excited tone: "As long as the spacecraft successfully enters orbit and docks successfully, it can absorb solar energy in space at any time." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to a progress bar on the control panel and said, "This is the progress of the spacecraft in absorbing sunlight, as long as it is full, it can be converted into microwaves and transmitted directly to the ground." ”

"And how long does it take for the spacecraft to be full?"

Lin Yu asked again.

"We haven't practiced this yet, but we can do it now."

Yang Zhong smiled and pressed the start button of the spacecraft.

A few seconds later.

The spacecraft in space received the command and quickly began to work, aiming the photovoltaic array on the front at the sun.

In a flash.

Huge amounts of sunlight energy, like a flood that bursts a levee, all poured into the photovoltaic array on the spacecraft.

Although this process of absorption is not visible to the human eye.

But

, the progress bar on the control panel, but at a speed visible to the naked eye, soaring wildly!

10%!

35%!

64%!

100%!!

In less than a minute, the progress bar is directly full!

Looking at such a terrifying collection speed, Yang Zhong's eyes suddenly lit up.

Although he knows that there is a lot of solar energy in space, it is all based on data.

And now, he finally intuitively felt how rich the light energy in space is!

It's simply inexhaustible!

"Convert it to electricity right away, and I'm going to see how much it loses."

Yang Zhongqiang endured the excitement in his heart and instructed the engineers next to him.

"Yes!"

The engineers sprang into action and activated the spacecraft's power management module.

A moment later.

All the light energy of the spacecraft is concentrated in a photovoltaic array and converted into electricity.

Finally, under functional templates such as amplifiers and oscillators, the electrical energy is further converted into microwaves.

Through wireless transmission, these invisible microwaves, as if teleporting, surged directly to the receiving antenna platform on the ground.

"It is reported that the microwave energy has been received, and after it is converted back into electrical energy, the loss rate has reached 28%!"

The Chief Engineer said loudly.

Hearing this, Yang Zhong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

A loss rate of 28% is actually very good.

You must know that the distance of microwaves from space back to the earth is 38,000 kilometers.

At such a distance, the microwave will definitely weaken, and then lose some of its energy.

Secondly, when microwaves pass through the atmosphere, they will be affected by various external factors, which will also lose some energy.

Finally, the microwaves are sent back to the ground and need to be reconverted, which in turn requires a loss of energy.

Therefore, under various factors, microwaves can still have 72% of the power left, which is already very efficient.
