Chapter 348: When will I be able to leave the solar system

Ye Ming unscrewed the mineral water bottle and took a sip, looking at the reporter named Linda with a smile.

He knew this reporter well, and according to Aita's summary information, when Pacheng was still a wall-to-wall grass, this Miss Linda was inclined to report the domestic news positively.

Now that Pocheng has bargained with China and obtained a lot of resources, Miss Linda's report has become more eager.

I just don't know what questions she'll ask this time.

"Professor Ye Ming, hello, I am a reporter from Lianhe Zaobao, my question is, is there a manned space program to land on Mars and explore deep space?"

Linda sat down immediately after asking, holding the pen in her right hand, keeping a smile and staring at Ye Ming tightly.

She knows that this genius scientist, in addition to liking Lao Mei, has the biggest character of telling the truth, and does not refuse reporters' questions, and has the habit of "being a good teacher".

Perhaps, great scientists are like this, so that they can pursue the truth of the universe, right?

"Well, this question ......" Ye Ming and Director Zhang looked at each other, and both of them smiled at the same time.

"I can tell you, there must be. Because according to the navigation ability of the Inviting Moon, it can already sail to any planetary orbital area without ensuring safety and supply. ”

"But the specific plan, I can't disclose it, because the current exploration spacecraft, we only have the Invitation Moon one. Its more mission is to complete the construction of a lunar base. ”

Saying that, Ye Ming smiled: "The Invitation Moon is about to enter a two-month inspection and maintenance period, and we don't know many situations, so if you really want to ask me the specific time, I can't answer." ”

Linda pursed her lips and smiled, nodding vigorously.

"As for the deep space exploration program, there must be one. For example, in the future, we will have an asteroid landing plan, and a future body exploration plan, etc. - please pay attention to our future press conference for specific progress. ”

"Any more questions?"

Linda took a deep breath, glanced at the notebook quickly, and immediately looked up and said, "Thank you, Professor Ye, may I ask if the technology on the Invitation Moon Issue, such as the anti-gravity force field technology, will be used in other fields, such as international transportation and commuting." ”

With that, she held her breath.

This question actually appeared in her notebook for a long time, but ...... Because of the high probability of rejection, she chose another question.

Now that Ye Ming buys one and gets one free, then she naturally proposes it.

When she asked this question, all the reporters present looked at her, and then they all looked at Ye Ming.

- As early as two months ago, when the Invitation Moon took off with an unconventional attitude, the entire Internet was boiling, and it was almost concluded that the Invitation Moon had used anti-gravity technology.

Naturally, then, what anti-gravity technology can do is the focus of speculation.

For example, a flying car, such as an aerospace spaceship, such as a floating cityβ€”these can all be done theoretically.

But Linda is more concerned with the freight system.

Because her country is in the golden position of the current sea transportation, if it really wants to replace the current ship sea transportation with anti-gravity technology...... That's not pretty.

After waiting for a moment, Ye Ming's voice rose with a smile.

"All technologies are born for a better future for mankind, so they will definitely be used in all fields that everyone can think of. But for now, we have to give the world a little time. ”

After Linda listened, she didn't know why, she exhaled softly.

"Thank you, Professor Ye."

"You're welcome, next."

A day later, the leaders personally attended a joint meeting between the Invitation Moon and the command center.

At the meeting, the leaders listened to the mission report of the Invitation Moon No., and then listened carefully to the report on the establishment of the first helium-3 commercial power plant on the moon - I have to say that the report of several hundred pages is indeed a bit too long for the leaders of the day, and the leaders only took a cursory look at the introduction.

So the consequence of this is that the leader asked Ye Ming at the meeting with a head full of questions.

For example, the construction and maintenance of the helium-3 power plant on the moon, as well as the erection and maintenance of transmission lines.

Ye Ming answered them one by one.

In addition, the leaders also paid extra attention to the planning of the space city, saying that the space city is a miracle that truly demonstrates the technological capabilities of human beings.

This means that the leaders have a clear mind.

So Ye Ming said that the construction of the space city is actually easier than the moon base, because the space city does not need to fight gravity, so many structural designs can be simple and tricky, and you can directly use the way of building blocks.

The only thing to worry about is the cost of design, construction and transportation.

But the issue of cost is the least important one.

-- The country keeps calling for cooperation, and this international space city is the best project of cooperation and unity.

The country will provide technology, and the countries that are willing to cooperate will pay for it, and then everyone will go to the sea of stars together, what a beautiful thing!

……

"By the way, the space elevator, can it be built?"

The leader raised his wrist and glanced at the time, and while Ye Ming was drinking water, he asked with a smile.

"Ahem......" Ye Ming almost didn't choke on a mouthful of water.

Everyone in the meeting cheered at him.

The leader laughed: "What? Too whimsical? ”

"No, no." Ye Ming hurriedly shook his head, but he was dripping in his heart.

Good guys, space elevator ......

This thing appears a lot in science fiction works, but what is the actual significance......

Unless human beings have completed the construction of population transfer in the earth's orbit, it is like a Dyson sphere, which looks awesome and is actually not very useful.

"Building can definitely be built, in terms of technology, it is nothing more than the flexible use of anti-gravity force field, so that most of the gravity problems due to materials and building itself can be solved. But in terms of cost and practical significance, it is really not big - at this stage, it is better to build a space elevator than to open a bus spacecraft from space to Earth. ”

"Well, that makes sense." The leader nodded with a smile, then glanced at his watch again, and his gaze fell back on Ye Ming's body.

"When will humanity get out of the solar system?"

Hearing this question, not only the leader, but also the entire conference room looked at Ye Ming in unison.

Especially Director Niu, who was sitting opposite Ye Ming, had more meaning in his eyes.

Ye Ming took a breath lightly.

Behind this problem, in fact, it is faster and stronger.

If you only count the orbits of the planets, then getting out of the solar system is a breeze.

But if you want to be strictly speaking...... If you include the Oort cloud, then the diameter of the solar system will reach one light year.

This is not the other side that human current aircraft can reach.

After thinking for a long time, Ye Ming laughed.

"It's up to luck."

"If you're lucky, maybe it's a few years, if it's not good...... That might be a bit pessimistic. ”

"Luck, do you mean a black hole?"

"Yes."

Ye Ming glanced at Director Niu and replied.

He knew that the leader was able to raise this question, and it was obvious that Lao Niu had revealed something to the leader.

"Well, if you're prepared, then we'll give it a try." The leader waved his hand vigorously: "Then it is obvious that a black hole is in front of us, we must always take a look!" ”

Ye Ming took a deep breath and nodded heavily.
