Zhu Qiqiang's idea caused heated discussions in the conference room.

Everyone's mind can't help but think of a scene from a science fiction movie - a circular flying saucer full of science and technology is suspended in the air, and suddenly, a light is shining directly on the ground from the bottom of the flying saucer.

A man came from a distance, and he walked into the light naturally.

The next moment, as if gravity no longer worked, his feet left the ground, and his body slowly flew upwards before disappearing into the bottom of the saucer.

The saucer closed the passage at the bottom, and the light disappeared from the ground.

'Whoosh' and flew away.

This picture, imaginatively, is full of science fiction.

While many people were excitedly discussing, they also looked at Wang Hao, "Academician Wang, this technology is too advanced!" ”

"It's so high-end, I didn't expect that gravitational field technology could be used like this, I guess Academician Wang thought of it at the beginning."

"Of course."

He Yi nodded vigorously and said, "This technology was developed by me and Academician Wang together. To be honest, I haven't heard Academician Wang say that he wants to apply it like this......"

Academician Wang must have thought of it a long time ago, but he didn't say it. Maybe he doesn't think it's a big deal, it's just an application. ”

"What we find surprising is in the eyes of Academician Wang...... Ordinary! ”

The others nodded vigorously, and they agreed with He Yi's statement.

Wang Hao was a little embarrassed to hear it, he quickly coughed lightly, and immediately said, "That's the case." Although I have this idea, the straight ladder and hanging ladder designed in the cabin are still needed. ”

"We're just starting to have the technology, and it's not very mature yet."

"Now we can diverge and imagine the application of technology, but in terms of practical application, the more complex the technology, the more likely it is to go wrong."

It's the truth.

The more complex the technology, the more likely it is to go wrong.

The new technology they want to add to the light-pressure engine is either to increase performance or ensure safety, and the use of high-end technology to seek convenience and cool effects is still too luxurious at this stage.

This is true for several high-tech technologies to be applied, including first-order radar, gravitational fields, laser weapons, and so on.

After everyone calmed down, He Yi continued to introduce the gravitational field technology, and finally Wang Hao explained the work related to the application of several high-end technologies.

"The work is divided into three parts."

"The first thing is to understand the new technology and design and manufacture the technology application according to the situation of the light pressure engine."

"The second is testing."

"This includes first-order radars, laser weapons, but also gravitational field technologies and equipment, especially the latter, which require very fine testing."

"Finally, the electronic system is linked and several technologies are integrated into the control system of the electronic system."

"Academician He Yi, Professor Shen Huiming and Professor Tang Hongchao are directly responsible for the testing, design and manufacturing of equipment and technology, and the design team and other parts must fully cooperate."

"We aim to be able to complete all the work within six months and conduct formal space tests."

Wang Hao did not put too much emphasis on space testing.

In fact, everyone knows that space testing is very unusual, and it is not just about letting the light-pressure engine fly more than 100 kilometers.

By definition, space is more than 100 kilometers above the ground.

In fact, less than 200 kilometers is not considered real space, and the space test carried out by the high-pressure engine is likely to allow the engine to fly hundreds of kilometers, or even thousands of kilometers.

That's what makes sense.

Wang Hao set the time of the space test half a year later, and the time is relatively tight, mainly because the gravitational field technology is not mature, and it takes a lot of time to improve and test the technology.

First-order radar and laser weapons are much easier.

After the meeting, many people thought of several high-end technologies, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "It is normal for light-pressure engines to use high-end technology, but I thought about it carefully, and when it comes to space testing, it can no longer be called an engine, it is completely an aerospace carrier." ”

"What the online media said also makes sense, and now it can't be called an engine."

"Energy self-sufficiency, first-order radar, perfect emergency and protection system, and laser weapons with active attack, plus the gravitational field ...... simulated ground environment in the cabin"

"It feels like it's a full-fledged space carrier, and the difference is just to hang a few small spaceships......"

"Anyway, how is the space agency's anti-gravity saucer developing?"

This sentence made the researchers of the space agency a little heartbroken, and after they came to work in the light-pressure engine unit, they also knew the news from the space agency.

The space agency has been turning on anti-gravity flying saucers for a long time.

Until now, only one empty shell has been manufactured, and a large number of equipment outside are still being tested, and the installation work can only officially begin when the tests are completed.

Then, there is a test work for an indefinite period of time.

"It is very likely that the progress of the anti-gravity flying saucer is slower than that of the optical pressure engine, and the anti-gravity flying saucer is likely to have only just been tested in space......"

"Ah~~"

The space agency researchers couldn't help but sigh.

The good news is that they have left the space agency and are working in a light-pressure engine unit, and the development of anti-gravity flying saucers has nothing to do with them.

Some of them couldn't help but think, "Shouldn't I leave the old organization and join the spaceship company like everyone else?" ”

"Otherwise, we may have to go back in the future......"

"I have participated in the rapid development and manufacturing of light-pressure engines, and then go back to study ordinary technology slowly, which is very boring!"

……

After the meeting determined the direction of work, the relevant work progressed rapidly.

The first is the first-order radar equipment.

The first-order radar is the easiest of several new technologies, because the equipment is ordered from the National Radar Center, and the performance is already relatively perfect, it only needs to be installed on the light-pressure engine and then docked with the electronic system.

Laser weapons, which are a little more complicated.

The manufacture of large-scale laser weapons takes time, and design changes and tests are required before the manufacturing scheme can be determined.

The test of the laser weapon is carried out directly on the light-pressure engine, that is, the test laser weapon is mounted on the concave mirror of the engine, and the test can be carried out after the internal heat source is turned on.

If the light-pressure engine is still on the ground, it is impossible to produce too high-intensity light energy, so the test intensity is still relatively low, and it cannot even catch up with the intensity of the annihilation particle experimental base.

After the initial tests, ten laser weapons were installed in the concave mirrors, and the light-pressure engines were officially launched to fly, and a laser weapon test was carried out at high altitudes.

The results of this test were still very good, and the manufacturing scheme of laser weapons was also determined, and an order was placed at the cooperative factory.

Compared with first-order radar and laser weapons, the work related to gravitational field technology is the most complex, and it is necessary to build a large machine separately for testing.

This large machine is a structure similar to an elevator, and a rectangular cabin is suspended in the middle of the elevator structure, and the gravitational field equipment installed up and down the cabin can be accelerated up and down after the power is turned on, and it looks like a high-power jumping machine.

In the environment of continuous acceleration, deceleration, and even weightlessness, the parameters of the gravitational field can be adjusted to ensure that the interior of the cabin will not be disturbed by the environment and maintain a stable gravitational strength.

The next step is to install the controlled gravitational field equipment into the capsule surrounded by the concave mirror.

The performance of the 'high-power jumping machine' is not good, and it cannot simulate complex environments such as high acceleration, turning flight, and fast oblique fall of the light pressure engine.

The research team needs to obtain a series of parameters and adjust the operation of the gravitational field equipment through the flight of the light pressure engine.

This process is relatively complicated.

It took five take-offs and landings of the high-pressure engine in the middle of the process to complete the basic adjustment of the internal gravitational field equipment.

Finally, there is the test of the gravitational shield.

This work is even more complicated, and the gravitational shield no longer needs to be tested on the ground, but directly on the ground.

The first is the creation of a fixed-oriented gravitational field area at a high altitude at one site, followed by the launch of shell missiles without warheads to strike at the side areas.

The missile technology used is still very accurate, the error range is within one meter, and after the strike, it is found that after the missile reaches an altitude of 60 kilometers, that is, the gravitational field area, the trajectory has a huge deviation, and even leads to the failure of the route correction system, and the target position can no longer be locked in the future.

Similar experiments were carried out three times.

The last time I even used a missile with an anti-interception and orbit-changing jet, I still encountered the same problem, and the missile's trajectory immediately deviated from the designated area, and even led to the installation of an anti-interception and orbit change system, which could no longer allow the missile to re-aim at the target.

In charge of the missile launch was Professor Zeng Quan, a rocket expert from the Second Research Institute.

After the test, Zeng Quan couldn't help but smile at Wang Hao, "Academician Wang, this time the anti-interception orbit change jet you personally designed can be regarded as meeting an opponent." ”

"At an altitude of 60 kilometers, the direction of the missile changed drastically within three seconds, the orbit change ejector continued to operate, and the final landing point was more than three kilometers away from the target position."

Wang Hao nodded with a smile, and then asked suspiciously, "Anti-interception orbit change jet...... I designed it? ”

"Right?"

Zeng Quan asked in surprise, "You don't remember?" ”

Wang Hao patted his head hard, and said helplessly, "There are so many things I have studied, I almost forgot about it, it seems that I have been, and I have also been to that research institute...... What kind of institute is it? ”

“……”

Zeng Quan didn't want to speak.

In recent years, a group of more than 20 people has been working around the missile anti-interception rail jet technology.

As a result, Wang Hao, the designer, didn't care about the technology at all, and even almost forgot the technology he had studied......

Angry or not?

How can there be such a big gap between people and people?

Zeng Quan suddenly felt ashamed to stand with Wang Hao.

The ground combat test of the gravitational shield is only a small episode in the work.

With the data of the ground combat test, the light-pressure engine unit determined the data of the gravitational shield technology and the manufacturing plan of the equipment, and then prepared for the high-altitude test of the gravitational shield technology.

This high-altitude test was very unusual.

After a meeting to discuss it, they decided to raise the light-pressure engine to an altitude of 80 kilometers.

This altitude is still relatively safe, it will definitely not encounter a large area of satellite debris, the engine has been installed with a first-order radar, and more than 20 laser weapons have been installed, and the safety is relatively guaranteed.

As the engine ascends, the gravitational shield will continue to open in the direction of propulsion, i.e., directly above.

This is also part of the test.

The gravitational shield equipment they use now does not create a large gravitational field area, and the maximum power of a single device can only cover a semi-circular area with a radius of 4 kilometers.

A radius of 4 km sounds like a lot, but the stabilization area in the center of the gravitational field is more than 70 km away from the engine, and more than 100 pieces of equipment are required to wrap the engine in a gravitational shield sphere.

This is simply not possible to do, because the electrical power of the light-pressure engine is limited.

According to the calculations of the design team, the engine can only support up to six gravitational shield devices to be turned on at the same time, otherwise it will affect the normal operation of the interior, such as the gravitational field equipment inside the cabin, and the normal operation will be seriously affected.

In the end, the study was finalized, and only six gravitational shields were installed.

At the same time, the gravitational shield will not be activated for a long time, but will only be turned on directly in front of the direction of flight during the flight.

Even if the gravitational shield does not completely encapsulate the spacecraft, safety is guaranteed, and with first-order radar, risks can be detected in advance, and even if they encounter meteorite swarms or satellite debris, they can be released in the direction of the attack.

The engine turns on a gravitational shield device directly in front of the flight to avoid the greatest possible risk.

The same is true for future aerospace carriers.

When the space carrier is flying at high speed, it can turn on three devices to the front and side, so that the risk can be avoided to the greatest extent, because the biggest risk comes from the direction of flight.

When flying at high speed in space, the danger on both sides of the Helicarrier is minimal, and it is difficult for meteorites to strike from both sides of the Helicarrier.

Not to mention the rear, where the danger is negligible.

Therefore, turning on the gravitational shield device to protect the front, as long as you don't plunge headlong into the meteorite area, there is basically no risk.

The research team believes that as long as the solar system does not enter the asteroid belt, it can be safe.

As for the extrasolar system, if you want to explore, you need to build a larger space carrier, and when the time comes, it may be called a spaceship.

The spaceship will be very large, and the power system will be many times larger, which can support the long-term operation of a whole set of gravitational shield equipment.

That way you can be safe.

Soon.

The gravitational shield equipment was installed on a light-pressure engine, which was also prepared for its sixth high-altitude flight test in four months.

At the same time, it has also attracted wide international attention.
