For the take-off and landing test experiment of the light-pressure engine, the vast majority of public opinion at home and abroad are surprised and admired, but there are also many international media who have talked about other issues from the perspective of Qingqi.

For example, there is a theory that creating a strong light source accelerates global warming.

"The strong light source created by the photopressure engine is similar to sunlight, which is pure light energy."

"The total amount of light energy radiated by the sun to the earth is stable every year, and the light pressure engine will release additional light energy, which will directly lead to accelerated global change."

"This could have a devastating impact on the planet's environment."

"Spaceship Industries didn't think about that."

"International environmental groups should come forward to conduct a detailed investigation and limit the heat emission targets at the start of light-pressure engines......"

There is a certain logic to this statement, because the light-pressure engine does create a strong light source, which can indeed accelerate global warming to a certain extent.

But the problem is that the engine emits pure light energy, and there is no greenhouse gas emissions, so there is no subsequent impact.

In addition, the efficiency of the light-pressure engine is very high, and the total power of releasing heat when turned on is only equivalent to that of several large rockets with a load of more than 100 tons.

Overall, the impact of a light-pressure engine on global warming is not as good as that of a small thermal power station (which emits greenhouse gases).

Another puzzling theory is that the center of the light-pressure engine creates an environment similar to the core of the sun.

Because of this, the engine is able to produce a large amount of pure light source.

"If you increase the power any more, you may create a black hole that absorbs matter, and everything around you will collapse towards the center of the light-pressure engine."

"The earth is in danger of destruction......"

This argument has only been read by scholars, but it has won the support of many ordinary people, and some countries have rallied to protest, shouting slogans calling for a moratorium on the development of light-pressure engines.

That certainly doesn't make sense.

Similar angles of Qingqi's statements come from major international media.

At the same time.

Amriken's decision-makers are the most anxious, and the success of the light-pressure engine test makes them anxious, mainly affecting the competition in the space field.

In the field of space, Amriken has always had an advantage.

For example, they have the most complete space monitoring system, relying on a large number of satellites launched into space.

According to statistics, American has 5,277 satellites, most of which are for commercial and military use, including the famous GPS navigation satellites.

They are also continuing to launch satellites on a large scale, hoping to build a broader satellite network while further seizing space resources.

This plan has been a work in progress, only to be hit by an interdimensional attack.

The flower grower directly built a super large man, with a diameter of up to 120 meters, and a rough estimate of the weight of more than 10,000 tons, and maybe even tens of thousands of tons, using light-pressure engine technology that is unimaginable.

This kind of big guy, which can achieve energy self-sufficiency, has no opponent at all in space, and no matter how many satellites are launched, no matter how many resources are grabbed.

When the time comes, the other side has the ability to start a space war!

How to deal with it?

Ameriken's decision-makers held several meetings in a row, all of which discussed related topics, "The research of the light-pressure engine is going well, and the fact that it can fly proves that it is not far from high-altitude flight." ”

"If high-altitude flight is achieved, then space flight is not far away......"

"To target the light-pressure engine, or the possible super-large-scale spacecraft in the future, the only way to do it is to destroy it from near the ground."

"This kind of spaceship with almost infinite energy will definitely be equipped with protective weapons, and if it goes to space, it will not be able to destroy it......"

Everyone else nodded unequivocally at that.

The highest-end missiles can pose a direct threat to satellites in space, but they are aimed at satellites that cannot change their trajectory, and when the missiles fly into space, the speed will become very slow, there is no penetration at all, and the accuracy is also very low.

"It doesn't mean much to destroy near the ground."

"We are not going to destroy humanity in war, the most important thing is deterrence."

"If we want to have deterrence, unless we use the same technology, for example, we can build an energy-self-sufficient spaceship......"

Someone suddenly suggested, "Maybe we should restart the nuclear-powered space shuttle program?" ”

The proposal was immediately rejected.

The history of their space development has shown that the space shuttle has many shortcomings, not to mention the nuclear-powered space shuttle, which will have countless problems when it is manufactured.

So in the end, there is only one way to go, "We need to have the same technology." ”

That's the key.

After many meetings in a row, the No. 1 decision-maker found that it was better to return to the original path, "We must master the regional strong annihilation force field technology. ”

"Only by mastering the regional strong annihilation force field technology can we study the annihilation particle technology and create a large number of first-order material ......."

"The intelligence services need to hurry, and the nuclear organization needs more relevant information."

Ameriken is an important participant in the nuclear organization, and can obtain a lot of important information, but it can only collect little by little, and it is impossible to grab equipment openly.

This is the default rule.

If the rules are broken, not to mention the reaction of the flower planters, the allied countries will also be very resistant, so it will cause great contradictions and controversies, after all, the equipment belongs to the science and technology department of the flower planters and the nuclear organization.

……

Amricon has refocused on the nuclear organization.

The Nuka, on the other hand, was not in a good mood, and a week ago they were in the spotlight of the world, with a lot of coverage around the equipment they 'bought' and their plans to conduct experiments.

Now it's different.

All eyes of the world are on Spaceship Industries, and everyone is focused on the light-pressure engine, and there is no interest in the experimental information of the nuclear organization.

It's right to think about it......

Everyone has already relied on annihilation particle technology to build a light-pressure engine, and as a result, the nuclear organization is still working on the 'lowest' strong annihilation force field device?

What's the point?

Bazberg-Montella didn't find it interesting, but they recently conducted a series of tests, published in academic journals, and appeared in media reports, and the results didn't get much attention at all.

Others say that it is the public opinion of the outside world, and even the people involved in the experiment in the organization talk about the light-pressure engine and the possible follow-up research content.

Li Ming and Yan Yaojun are still the focus figures.

As the team leader of the flower planter who participated in the experiment, they first became the focus because of the strong annihilation force field equipment, and a large number of scholars surrounded them, constantly asking questions about the strong annihilation force field technology.

Li Ming and Yan Yaojun didn't know about the Forceful Annihilation Force Field, so they could only briefly say what they knew, and then they didn't know anything.

Of course, they don't say they don't know, they just smile and shake their heads.

Such an attitude gives the impression that they are trying to keep their information private, rather than being untechnological.

Li Ming and Yan Yaojun were both distressed by this, and when the test of the light-pressure engine was in the news, they found that the questions of the scholars had become 'light-pressure engines'.

"What material is used for a light-pressure engine?"

"It is said that the maximum temperature exceeds 6,500 degrees Celsius, how did you do that? How is it controlled? ”

"Let's talk about annihilation particle technology, let's talk about ......"

"Is this technology really controllable? How is control achieved? ”

“……”

Li Ming and Yan Yaojun were immediately even more confused.

At first, they said they didn't know, but they found that everyone didn't believe it, and then they simply said some basics that everyone knew, "First of all, we didn't participate in the project, but the research is very powerful, and a lot of high-end first-order materials are used, otherwise how can it resist such a high temperature?" ”

"This engine is very heavy, reaching tens of thousands of tons!"

"After building the engine, the next step is to build a super-large spaceship!"

"This is a 100-billion-level project."

"The research is unexpectedly fast and very smooth, and now it is the first test, and it is estimated that in a few years, it will be able to enter space......"

The last sentence was affirmed.

Many people judge the speed of research and development in the same way, and now only the plane can land, and if everything goes well, it will be able to ascend into space in a few years.

……

A few years, ascending into space.

This is not a guesswork, but an estimate of the time based on the normal pace of development.

With any very large device, every time you do a test, you will find a lot of problems, and it takes a lot of time to solve these problems.

This is especially true for light-pressure engines.

Wang Hao is confident in the design, but the manufacturing involves the performance of the material, but it is not 100% sure, the first take-off and landing test is over, and a lot of problems were found in the follow-up testing process.

For example, if the internal insulation material becomes dry, it directly affects the life of the material.

Whether this material should continue to be studied, or increase the thickness of the insulation material, or replace it with a better material, how to do it still needs to be demonstrated.

During the take-off and landing test, the balance system performed very well, but there were still some small bugs in the calculation, which caused the engine to tremble constantly.

In addition, the calculation accuracy of the small light pressure nozzle is insufficient, which leads to the instability of the internal temperature, and there is a deviation that exceeds the 'tolerable error'.

There are two locations where the material problem is most acute, one is the interface between the neutron channel and the center of the strong annihilation force field.

The other is the inner tube of the second half of the excitation propulsion unit.

The former is because it is at the release point of the light source and the temperature is too high; The latter is because the pressure is too high, and the light pressure is made by excitation the second half of the propulsion device, even if most of the pressure is outward, it will have a great impact on the inner tube in the second half.

After a week, all tests were over.

Wang Hao organized an experimental meeting and summarized the problems found, "All the problems found can be summarized into two categories. ”

"One is electronic systems; One is materials. ”

"The electronic system, which is in charge of Academician Wang Dong and assisted by Paul Phil-Jones's mathematics group, strives to solve these problems as soon as possible."

"Materials, Academician Cao Dongming is in charge."

"No problem, right?"

Wang Dong nodded immediately, "No problem, my group will continue to improve the electronic system." ”

Cao Dongming also nodded seriously, "There is no problem." Our team will communicate with other organizations to develop better alternative materials. ”

After assigning the task, Wang Hao returned to the office and had a serious conversation with Zang Chunlai.

Zang Chunlai is the general manager of the Spacecraft Company, responsible for all aspects of the research program.

They were talking about personnel.

Wang Hao said seriously, "Now that the first test has ended and the project is on the right track, I think it's time to formalize." ”

Zang Chunlai understood as soon as he heard it, "Academician Wang, do you mean to let those researchers join the company?" Onboard all the people involved? ”

"Yes."

Wang Hao said very seriously, "Spaceship Industries is a regular company, and the main researchers of the impossible project are all from other institutions. ”

"They still have jobs from the original agency, and there will definitely be problems in the future."

"For example, Academician Cao Dongming, Academician Wang Dong, these core researchers, can invite them to officially join the company, and others are the same."

"We want to formalize the treatment of the company so that they can concentrate on their work, not feel like they are just working on a big project."

"The manufacturing, operation and future development of spacecraft are very long-term, it may last for a few years, more than ten years, or even longer or decades, and it is impossible for them to stay on the job, right?"

"There's no end to this project!"

Zang Chunlai thought about it carefully, and said with some distress, "It's not easy to convince them to officially join the company, right?" First of all, they have to leave their original units, and there may be several academicians, professors, and researchers......"

"There are also some key engineers from the military, will those departments release people?"

"Well, you don't have to worry."

Wang Hao said, "I went to communicate with them, and there should be no problem." ”

"Also, to convince them to officially join the company, the salary offered is very high." Zang Chun said, "Academician Cao, how can he have an annual salary of one million, right?" ”

"Of course."

Wang Hao said, "You don't have to worry about funding, I plan to continue to raise funds in the next step." ”

"Fundraising?"

"Designing spaceships, to be exact."

"Huh?"

Zang Chunlai was stunned, how could financing become designing a spaceship?

Wang Hao said of course, "Now that our engines have been able to take off and land, the next step is to fly at high altitude, and the next step is to enter space." ”

"So, what about after you go into space?"

"The engines can all go into space, the spacecraft has not yet been designed, and the time difference in between is too big and could last for a few years, if not longer."

"So we have to design the spacecraft in advance, and we have to build it in advance, and when the engine is mature, it will be directly installed and test-flighted."

"Of course, there is another reason to ......"

"The spacecraft has a perfect design and manufacturing plan before it can be funded."

"When the company was first established, it was said that the future business is manned spaceflight, interstellar resource mining, etc., and spacecraft must have these functions in order to achieve positive returns in the future, rather than always investing heavily in research and development."

Wang Hao said very seriously.

Zang Chunlai opened his mouth wide when he listened, he always felt that when the company was first established, the 'future business plan' was all about drawing a big pie and fooling people.

Manned spaceflight is barely acceptable.

Planet prospecting?

Interstellar resource mining?

What an international joke! Why don't you talk about interstellar immigrants!

It is impossible for these businesses to be realized in a short period of time, at least his life is likely to be unable to wait.

Academician Wang seems to have taken it seriously?

I also want to build a spaceship with this large-scale financing......
