Capital Ronghua Hotel.

and Director Niu, who hadn't seen him for several days, sat on the sofa in Ye Ming's room, crossed Erlang's legs, with a smiling expression.

"If you come over like this, aren't you afraid that Academician Gu will feel uncomfortable?"

Ye Ming was looking at the design drawings on the notebook, and was speechless for a while when he heard the words: "Where is the uncomfortable point?" ”

Director Niu and He Mo laughed together.

You say that Ye Ming doesn't understand the world, he sometimes understands it quite well, such as rushing to pay for dinner, who in the institute has a wedding, funeral, and birthday, his red envelopes are at least never absent, and the red envelopes are full of "friendship" every time.

Even he knew that the first time he saw Director Niu's child, he would give a red envelope - or the kind he asked He Mo to borrow cash.

But do you think he understands......

It can only be said that when it comes to technological advancement, he does not consider other factors.

"Okay, actually, I communicated with Academician Gu before I came." Ye Ming knew what these two were laughing at, he sighed and said, "I looked at their test plan and felt that they didn't understand the real needs of the third young lady. ”

- Invitation Moon is the official name of this spaceship, but now it is generally said to be codenamed "Miss Three".

The third is the 3 of helium-3.

The reason why it is so named is that it has the meaning of paying tribute to "Miss Qiu".

"Miss Three's belly is large enough, and there is also a margin for full load thrust - we have at least enough two hundred tons of redundancy to modify and deploy the cabin equipment, so there is no need to be too compact in the design."

Saying that, Ye Ming paused: "This is actually my problem, there is no good communication, and Academician Gu may want to push the GB supercapacitor to the ordinary commercial market...... This led to his pursuit being too high. ”

"Of course, the biggest problem still comes from the military industry." Ye Ming stared at Director Niu and said stupidly: "The laser weapon added is too powerful, and it instantly raises the load ceiling - who do you say this pot belongs to?" ”

Director Niu laughed: "Military industry! ”

"So you say, what can Academician Gu say? Apparently not! ”

He Mo pursed his lips and smiled: "Actually, I also think that it is enough to go to the missile window, and there is no need to use the laser." ”

"It's still necessary." Ye Ming shook his head: "Let's not talk about active defense, just talk about the field of space engineering, there is a laser that is definitely better than a missile, and the use of laser weapons in space is originally one of the routes, and now there is such an opportunity to give it a try, it is always good." ”

"How powerful are laser weapons now?" He Mo asked curiously.

"8MW - can burn through 10cm of titanium armor in one second at a distance of 200 km, and if it is replaced with the current heat shield of ballistic missiles, it will take about 5 seconds to burn within 100 km."

"That means it can be used to protect against ballistic missiles?"

"If the location is right, it can barely be intercepted, after all, there are two launch pads, and the one with a high pulse is still quite sharp, and if such a large amount of energy hits it, the trajectory will definitely be affected."

He Mo stuck out his tongue: "Does that mean...... In the future, we will be invincible in the air? ”

Ye Ming glanced at her helplessly.

Director Niu also looked at her with the eyes of a fool.

He Mo immediately raised his hand: "Okay, okay, I understand-no one can withstand a saturation attack." ”

- Yes, if the location is right, there is a helium-3 engine power generation + supercapacitors, there is no problem in intercepting a single ballistic missile and deflecting it off track.

But if it does get a saturation blow......

It is really wishful thinking to stop it by a boat.

In fact, these two laser launchers, including missile launchers, were essentially set up to intercept certain "sudden and vicious" air-to-air missiles.

As far as the current situation is concerned, the probability of a ballistic missile falling in the country is really small.

However, a certain fighter plane suddenly climbed high, and then "misidentified the target," followed by two over-the-horizon air-to-air missiles......

The probability of such a thing......

There really is.

Otherwise, why does the Third Miss project have to be kept secret? It's just not giving some people the opportunity to think deeply.

- Of course, when the launch is approaching, it will definitely be announced globally, and even broadcast live globally.

"Okay, you get off early." Director Niu glanced at his watch and stood up.

"Well, He Mo helped me deliver Director Niu." Ye Ming glanced at He Mo and replied with a smile.

……

A moment later, Director Niu and He Mo returned to the next room together.

Director Niu glanced left and right, and didn't bother to go inside, and sat directly on the bed - He Mo's side is not a suite.

"Can you sit in a chair?"

"My butt isn't dirty." Director Niu smiled and said, "How is your work lately?" ”

“…… Very good. Answering casually, He Mo opened the shoe cabinet next to him.

"It's good." Although Director Niu was still smiling, his eyes became a little serious: "Do you have any ideas for transferring work?" ”

He Mo was changing his shoes, and when he heard this, he looked up in amazement, with an incredulous expression: "What do you mean?" ”

"Ask if you'd like to move."

"Do you have an opinion about me from the organization?" He Mo threw down his slippers and walked in front of Director Niu, his chest began to rise and fall.

"It's not." When Director Niu saw that she looked like a calf, he laughed again: "Sit down and say." ”

"Boss, how dare I sit without making it clear?"

"Okay...... In fact, several ***d systems have completed a comprehensive evaluation of Aita. ”

Hearing this, He Mo's eyes widened instantly!

"Going to Aita?"

Director Niu glanced out the window and nodded slowly.

"Now the direct connection optical fiber of several major bases is in full swing, and it will be completed by the end of the year at the latest."

"Once the laying is completed, it means that we have a two-way one-way response speed of 30 milliseconds in each system terminal in the whole territory, but the on-line project is huge, and it also needs a person who knows Aita very well to preside."

Saying that, Director Niu paused: "For now, you know Aita best. ”

He Mo stopped talking.

Director Niu is right, she is indeed ...... She "edited" the book that is now included in the textbooks of all the colleges and universities that offer courses on the Yinta system.

And she has been following Ye Ming for so long, and Ye Ming has never had any reservations about her academically.

But...... Because of this, He Mo felt ......

"Is this the only solution?" He Mo bit his lip and asked softly, "If it is the only solution, of course I will obey the order." If there are other options......"

"Besides, after I'm gone, do you want to send someone over?"

Director Niu nodded: "He really needs someone as a bridge of communication, whether it's security or anything else." ”

"Then I think...... If there are other options, it's best not to make substitutions. He Mo said: "He really doesn't like the changes in the environment around him. ”

Director Niu frowned slightly, falling into deep thought.

The next day, accompanied by Director Niu, Ye Ming arrived at a research center at an aerospace port in a low-key manner.

Because it was the time of engine assembly, and he was in charge of the Xicang assembly center, Director Zhang did not appear in the crowd to greet him, but was greeted by Academician Gu himself.

And in the crowd that greeted them, another group of people wearing military uniforms appeared.

……

"Academician Gu, Academician Qin."

Ye Ming hurriedly shook hands with the two and greeted them.

Academician Gu is a person from the aviation port and has always made great achievements in the field of supercapacitors, while Academician Qin is a military engineer and has been leading the development of high-power laser weapons.

The two men converged, apparently also to test supercapacitors.

"Haha, Professor Xiao Ye - no, it should be Academician Xiao Ye soon!" Academician Qin's military demeanor, holding Ye Ming with a pair of big hands, smiled and quipped-the two of them have actually met a few times in the video.

"Eh, don't you dare, don't you dare ......"

"What don't you dare? It's a sure thing! Academician Qin waved his hand: "Let's go, I'll wait for you!" ”

……

The group went to the base, and after watching a "laser cannon" as they wished—yes, yes, a light that makes a "chirp" sound in a science fiction movie—burned a hole in the steel plate, and everyone returned to the conference room next to it.

"That's right, Academician Gu."

Ye Ming pondered for a moment and then said softly: "It may be a problem of communication before, in fact, when we designed the spaceship, we adhered to the concept of vigorously producing miracles. ”

Academician Gu looked at him seriously.

"Otherwise, we wouldn't be using supercapacitors, would we?" Ye Ming said with a smile.

Everyone nodded in unison.

The so-called supercapacitor is actually a farad capacitor - it can be charged and discharged many times.

Compared to lithium batteries, it is a bit obvious.

The first is that the charging time is extremely fast, from a few seconds to a few minutes, it can be fully charged to more than 95%.

The second is the high power density, which can usually reach more than 100W/kg, which is about 10 times that of lithium batteries.

The last cycle life is extremely long – the kind that starts at 100,000 cycles.

The only drawback is that it has a low energy density, and commercial supercapacitors are only about 5% of lithium batteries.

In short, it is the only one that can store and discharge high-power power for short periods of time – of course, flywheels are also possible, but they are obviously not suitable for use in spaceships.

"So, we don't need to make it technically difficult, as long as it meets the requirements in terms of power and energy."

Academician Gu's brows furrowed slightly: "It means that just add a few capacitors and you're done?" ”

Ye Ming coughed lightly: "Theoretically, it's really like this - you see, the margin of the energy cabin is enough." ”

Academician Gu immediately stopped talking.

Director Niu glanced at Ye Ming deeply.

Ye Ming was unmoved, and smiled slightly: "Of course, this first ship can be so extravagant and wasteful, it doesn't mean that every ship can do this in the future - we still have to pursue a technological revolution, right?" ”

Hearing this, Academician Gu's expression looked a lot better and nodded.

Although it is indeed difficult to complete the supercapacitor plus the entire storage and discharge system, it is ...... It's just the engineering difficulty.

With Aita's help, this is nothing.

There is no real revolutionary technological breakthrough in this project.

Let's be honest...... This did make Academician Gu a little dissatisfied - especially after using his patent, it did not play a 1+1 greater than 2 design.

Now Ye Ming means that it doesn't have to be so "advanced"......

Even the current idea of solving the problem is very low-level......

"I've been thinking about the management of supercapacitors for a while, and I suspect that the real problem may be with the power devices."

Academician Gu was stunned, and immediately looked at Ye Ming: "What do you say?" ”

"The power device has now been fully transferred to ......" Ye Ming paused, he still didn't like to say "Ye Di".

"Carbondysprosium." Ye Ming said with a smile: "The properties of this compound, we have been analyzing them in the laboratory in the past, you can take a look at it if you have time." ”

Saying that, Ye Ming instructed Aita to send a document to Academician Gu.

The latter looked at the notebook, glanced at it only a few times, and immediately leaned closer to the monitor, as if to burrow into the computer.

Seeing this, everyone looked at Ye Ming one after another.

Especially Director Niu, who was even more surprised, grew his mouth slightly.

Ye Ming shrugged his shoulders slightly and told him with his mouth.

Get!

……

Half an hour later, Ye Ming left Academician Gu's office and then came to Academician Qin's side.

Lao Niu has been waiting for Academician Qin for a long time.

"Haha, Academician Xiaoye, welcome." Academician Qin smiled and served him tea: "How did you get Lao Gu done?" ”

"Actually, I gave him a new ......"

"Ye Di," Academician Qin added with a smile.

"Ahem...... Well, it's the unannounced properties of that crystal. Ye Ming took a sip of tea with a smile: "As long as a set of proprietary power devices are redesigned according to the new characteristics, the current problem can be solved theoretically." ”

"But it's too late." Ye Ming exhaled lightly and looked at the calendar.

No matter how fast Ye Ming completes the design and how fast the tape-out is arranged, it will be a project quantity, and in addition, the circuit management and control system of the entire capacitor must be adjusted.

——This is the result that Ye Ming has simulated many times.

Therefore, if you want to wait for Academician Gu to complete, the assembly progress of the entire spacecraft will be delayed for at least three to four months.

It is better for Ye Ming to send a personal favor, so that Lao Gu can first complete the current project goals with peace of mind, and then develop new technologies on the next spaceship.

And according to Ye Ming's estimate, Academician Gu's supercapacitor is indeed worth trying - in the case of doubling the engine's electrical conversion rate, it can quadruple the peak power that the current supercapacitor can provide!

This means...... Can be equipped with even more powerful laser weapons!

"yes...... Time is running out! Academician Qin touched his gray hair, smiled and sighed: "I never thought that one day, laser weapons would be used in spaceships. ”

Director Niu laughed and said, "Only a controllable nuclear fusion engine can provide electricity for laser weapons!" ”

Ye Ming coughed: "To be precise, it's the helium-3 fusion engine!" ”

"Then you say, the old American space program, what kind of weapon do they use?" Academician Qin is also a wonderful person, and winked at Ye Ming: "Don't use laser weapons?" Or boiling water in space? ”

Ye Ming and Director Niu laughed at the same time.

If you can't get a helium-3 engine, even if you have a deuterium-tritium fusion engine...... It is also possible to use the plasma beam to generate electricity, but how can that amount of electricity be compared to helium-3 fusion?

In the midst of laughter, Yin Ta's voice suddenly sounded in Ye Ming's ears.

- "Ye Ming, Professor Hollyon sent an email, he is currently on the plane from Java to HK. ”

Ye Ming was stunned.

"How?"

"Let you pick him up."
