Chapter 650: How Many Years? It's been a long time, and here comes the chance to experiment!
After the spacecraft completed the mission of launching satellites, it began to accelerate out of the Earth-Moon system and into the boundless space.
The spacecraft first flew out of the boundary of the earth's magnetosphere, and then completely broke away from the protection of the earth's magnetic field, and then maintained an acceleration and flew out of 300,000 kilometers, completely leaving the Earth-Moon system behind.
At this point, the spacecraft officially flew out of the Earth-Moon system.
During the acceleration of the spacecraft to Jupiter, it will also maintain communication with the ground console, sending messages every twenty minutes on average, and the communication delay is not high at first, and the delay becomes higher and higher later.
The ground console also combines communication data and delay time to determine the distance and position of the spacecraft.
The first media continued to pay attention to the voyage plan, and every hour they would broadcast the movements of the spacecraft in the form of text, so that everyone could know about the spacecraft.
After completing the mission of launching the satellite, the spacecraft maintained a stable acceleration of about 10 meters per second, which lasted for about 12 hours, before pausing the acceleration to maintain stability, and after determining that it could adapt to the speed of 400 kilometers per second, it continued to accelerate again.
10 meters per second, is the most stable acceleration.
The gravitational field in the spacecraft cabin can cancel out the impact of acceleration to a certain extent, so that the interior of the spacecraft can simulate a gravitational environment similar to that on the ground, but in fact, the simulation is not 100%.
The main difference is that the acceleration of the spacecraft is a unilateral force, while the gravitational force is a force that penetrates into the microscopic level in all directions, and the two cannot be completely canceled out, and the continuous acceleration will still cause some discomfort, and the only thing that technology can do is to minimize the discomfort.
The boarding crew has been trained for a month, and most of them can get used to it, at most, they will become much more comfortable when they lie in bed, but there are still some people who react very much.
Among them, the strongest reaction was Professor Hua Guojian of the Academy of Sciences, and the other was Paul Phil-Jones.
At first, Hua Guojian did not react, he felt that he was completely able to adapt, but after only an hour, he began to vomit uncomfortably, and he felt very uncomfortable all over his body, so he could only lie on the bed and close his eyes to rest.
Paul Phil-Jones's reaction was even stronger, the most important thing was that he not only vomited, but also yelled in fear, which directly affected the others, the only doctor on the spaceship, who became Paul's nanny on the first day, fortunately he had two assistants-
Ding Zhiqiang and Krot James.
It is impossible for Ding Zhiqiang to ignore Paul, and Krot James is full of disgust, in fact, he is still worried about Paul, the spacecraft is not just going for a day, but will continue to sail for more than a month, the first day is this reaction, and the follow-up ......
I don't dare to think about it!
"Paul won't die on the ship, will he?" James didn't understand anything about it, "You really shouldn't let him come, look at his training performance, I think you should be the chief advisor, it's better for him to stay on Earth, good for him, good for the rest of us." ”
"I knew it was like this......"
Ding Zhiqiang shook his head depressedly, "But it's too late to regret it, I don't know how he qualified, I think it was the instructor who released the water, but he is really very important." ”
"Don't worry, it's less than a day to accelerate, just stabilize the speed tomorrow."
James pursed his lips hard, "And slow down." ”
"It's much better to slow down, I don't feel it." Ding Zhiqiang shook his head and said, "But I heard those testers say that when you slow down, it's almost the same as the ground." ”
"Mainly because the ground of the cabin and the engine nozzle are in the same direction, some people on the research and development side suggested that the manufacturing of a rotating cabin, whether it is acceleration or deceleration, the cabin ground and the vent are always in the opposite direction, so that the acceleration will not be felt, in order to fully simulate the ground environment."
"The design idea...... It's too high-end. James smiled bitterly, from the time he came to the Tianhang base to the present, he has been constantly sighing, high-end technology, high-end equipment, unimaginable spaceship interiors, and so on.
Now that he's hearing about more high-end design ideas, he feels like a failure in his life and takes on the role of the head of the Lake Groom project, which turns out to be obsolete technologies.
He shook his head and discussed with Ding Zhiqiang, "Do you have any other ideas?" I mean, without the swivel cabin design, it makes the cabin feel more comfortable. ”
"Do you have any good ideas?" Ding Zhiqiang really didn't think about this problem, and he didn't design spaceships professionally.
James shrugged, "Maybe high acceleration?" In this way, the gravitational field can be controlled to accelerate rapidly in weightlessness, and now the acceleration lasts for more than ten hours, and if it can be controlled within half an hour, weightlessness does not matter. ”
Ding Zhiqiang rolled his eyes, "Think about it yourself, how high-end technology is required for this method?" ”
"Ultra-high acceleration, ultra-high gravitational field strength, I think it can be achieved, but it will take at least a few years."
He shook his head helplessly.
"A few years ......"
James opened his mouth wide in shock, he just said an idea casually, but when it came to Ding Zhiqiang's mouth, it became 'wait a few years', "Will it only take a few years?" ”
"How long do you think it will take?" Ding Zhiqiang knew why James was surprised, and he also had a little pride in his heart, and continued, "Think about it, how long has the space spacecraft been used? It's just a technological improvement, a power boost, a technological boost, and that's it. ”
"If we build the next spaceship, I'm sure we'll be able to improve this problem!"
His words were full of firmness, and the most important thing was his trust in Wang Hao.
Ding Zhiqiang felt that Wang Hao was omnipotent, and they had already adapted to omnipotent research and development.
Technological improvements?
What's the big deal about that?
Even if a new technology is developed, it is not a big deal, how many new technologies have appeared in recent years?
Now annihilation technology is in a period of vigorous development, and any related new technology is within the scope of acceptance.
Ding Zhiqiang thinks that he will no longer be shocked by any technology or any discovery.
……
The spacecraft finally accelerated to 800 kilometers per second before stabilizing its speed and moving forward at a constant speed.
800 kilometers per second is nothing relative to the speed of light, but traveling only within the eight planets of the solar system, the speed is completely sufficient.
The distance from the Earth to Jupiter is now about 680 million kilometers, and it only takes 10 days to reach Jupiter at 800 kilometers per second.
The reason why the acceleration is not continued is because the protective ability of the space spacecraft is still limited, especially the collision in the universe that may affect it, and human beings' understanding of the universe is still quite limited, and there may be some danger during the voyage.
The electronic control system of the spacecraft is set to a maximum speed of 1,000 kilometers per second.
This is also due to the protection of the ship.
……
The journey of the spacecraft to Jupiter continues to attract the attention of international public opinion, and the spacecraft is already hundreds of millions of kilometers away from the earth, and the transmission of information has become very untimely, and there is no public opinion that can suppress the boiling.
Many people are concerned about when the spacecraft will arrive at Jupiter and when the exploration of Europa will officially begin.
There will also be discussions in public opinion about what Europa will discover, what the spacecraft will discover when it arrives at Jupiter, and so on.
While everyone is paying attention to the spacecraft, other news information is getting less attention.
Take, for example, the sinking of a cargo ship near the port of Naples.
For a week after the sinking of the cargo ship, the location of the wreck continued to attract attention, and when the salvage ship successfully salvaged the cargo ship, it was found that the bottom of the cargo ship seemed to be subjected to high heat reaction, and the metal layer even appeared to break like melting.
This made the incident investigation team puzzled, and they continued to investigate without results, and in the end it could only be attributed to the quality of the cargo ship, and then there was a dispute over compensation.
The investigation team believes that it is a problem with the quality of the cargo ship, but the cargo ship manufacturer does not think so, and it also involves the issue of insurance compensation, so one more insurance company participates.
The three parties also went directly to court, and there will definitely be a long-term entanglement in the future.
In fact, it is indeed difficult for the investigation team to find that the strength of the annihilation force field of the strong S-wave thin layer is not high, which is not enough to cause an element up-order reaction, and the material at the bottom of the cargo ship contacts the strong S-wave thin layer, and a large number of atoms instantaneously detach from the electron layer and enter a semi-ionized state.
At this time, the bottom of the cargo ship is subjected to strong pressure, and there is a natural possibility of breakage.
After a while, no more bubbles were found on the surface of the sea, and the news stopped getting attention.
But there is still an impact, the nearby sea area is temporarily defined as 'risky', and the ships will detour as much as possible, but there are still ships that do not care, because the coverage of bubbles on the water surface is very small, only more than 20 meters away, and in the vast sea, more than 20 meters is too small and too small, and it is difficult to deliberately try to run into it.
In this context, Wang Qiang felt that the opportunity had come, and he immediately wrote a report to apply for a new experiment.
Wang Hao can't go back to the Qiang S wave base to participate in the experiment, he still has to continue to stay in the Tianhang base, even if he doesn't do anything, as long as he is in the base, he can play a role in stabilizing the morale of the army.
Before the spacecraft returned to Earth, he could only stay at the base of the spacecraft.
In fact, Wang Hao is also a little worried, the trip to Jupiter of the Tianhang spacecraft may also be risky, he does not have the ability to predict, and can only ensure that there are no problems at the technical level of the known range.
He keeps an eye on the location of the spacecraft every day, and keeps an eye on the content of the communications.
However, compared to before the spacecraft took off, his work did become very leisurely, and he didn't even have much to do except care about the Tianhang spacecraft, so he had a lot of energy to check the experimental things submitted by Wang Qiang.
"Experiment again, continue to inject energy ......"
"Shock with high temperatures?"
"This ......"
Wang Hao was also a little hesitant when he looked at the content of the experiment, they had used the method of injecting energy to make the black ball exist for a longer time, but the longest did not exceed thirty seconds.
The duration of the black ball's existence does not seem to be proportional to the intensity of the injected energy.
To put it simply, injecting a certain energy intensity, the black ball's existence time will increase by a few seconds, and the injected energy intensity will increase tenfold, and the black ball's existence time will not increase by tens of seconds, but only by twenty seconds, ten seconds, or even less.
It's as if there is an upper limit to how long the black ball can exist, and the way to increase the injected energy can only keep getting closer to the upper limit.
"So, where does the energy go?"
The answer to this question must be found.
Therefore, the new experiment proposed by Wang Qiang wants to use the method of high-energy impact to observe whether there will be new discoveries.
While conducting the experiments, they also had people take a boat to the sea near the sinking of the cargo ship to do sampling and testing.
The people in charge of testing and sampling did not know exactly what was done, and they thought that their superiors were interested in the sinking of the cargo ship and wanted to conduct an investigation nearby.
In this way, even if they are discovered in the middle of the way, it doesn't matter, and no one else can connect the time of the ship's silence with the experiment.
Wang Hao thought carefully about the problem of high temperature impact, and after thinking about it, he felt that he would use a similar method to conduct research in the experimental base.
Eventually, he agreed.
……
Strong S-wave research base.
Wang Qiang looked very anxious in the office, he submitted the experiment application in the morning, but there has been no reply so far.
"No, it stands to reason that Academician Wang is not busy right now."
"Why hasn't there been a reply yet?"
"Doesn't he agree with our experimental design? We have been discussing this for a long time, and this experimental method is the most straightforward, and maybe some new phenomena can be observed......"
Wang Qiang kept chattering.
Zhu Guifen is the leader of the electric power team and the person in charge of the engineering group, and the engineering team will not participate in the experimental design, let alone the theoretical research, but only cooperate with the completion of the experimental work.
So Zhu Guifen behaved very calmly, she looked at Wang Qiang's anxious expression and felt a little funny, "Director Wang, you just care too much, do you have to reply to the application submitted in the morning?" Maybe Academician Wang is busy, how many affairs are there in the Tianhang base? You can think of it. ”
"Look at what's going on out there right now, almost every focus is on spacecraft."
"Even if Academician Wang has already read the application, he may not have the energy to think about it carefully."
"Anyway, don't be too anxious, the experiment is not bad for a day or two, we have all waited for so long, it doesn't matter if you wait a few more days."
Wang Qiang also knew that what Zhu Guifen said was right, but he still wanted to know the result as soon as possible.
A new email message pops up on the screen.
Wang Qiang was full of cleverness, and immediately clicked on the email, and saw that it was sent by Wang Hao, which talked about experimental design and put forward some suggestions for improvement, but they were all for safety.
As for the design of the experimental subject, Wang Hao did not say anything, and directly agreed to the application.
Wang Qiang looked at it carefully and suddenly became excited, he even slapped the table hard happily, "Academician Wang agreed!" ”
"We can experiment!"
He looked at Zhu Guifen happily and said, "I just said that Academician Wang will definitely reply to the news in the afternoon!" I've been following Academician Wang for so many years, don't you understand? ”
Zhu Guifen rolled her eyes, gave a thumbs up with sarcasm, and said, "Good, good, good, amazing!" ”
"You know Academician Wang!"
"I don't know who was in a hurry like a monkey just now, jumping up and down, as if they were about to go up the tree......"
Wang Qiang ignored Zhu Guifen's sarcasm, he couldn't wait to start the experiment for a long time, and immediately told the news to the people in the experimental team, so that everyone moved and began to prepare for a new experiment.
