Although the last asteroid capture program was a perfect one, it is very inefficient and only suitable for the collection and capture of asteroids that have escaped to the Earth-Moon orbit. However, it is really a bit impossible to efficiently collect and utilize the resource-based asteroids in the asteroid belt, especially those asteroids that are rich in rare and precious elements and even more precious water ice, and rely on this kind of engine landing and then driving it alone.

Therefore, when the Guanghan base is about to enter 2.0 and start the era of space smelting, it is urgent to find an efficient method of collecting and capturing resource-based asteroids.

The idea put forward by the domestic space sector was to create a large artificial gravity capture ring.

The principle is similar to the use of gravity devices to "intercept" fighters into storage.

After aiming at a target asteroid, it first enters its orbit, then accelerates to the front, then slowly slows down, wraps the asteroid with a hollow gravity ring, and then activates the gravity system to cancel out the asteroid's angular momentum and gravitational pull, and finally completes the deceleration.

This method is extremely convenient for smaller asteroids.

"In fact, for large asteroids, such as those with a diameter of several kilometers, if you really want to develop them, you can design a special mining spacecraft, which can be automatically mined after landing on them."

"But the cost is not as good as shipping it from the earth."

"Calculate the orbit, set up a collection group, and then use a large transport spaceship to take it away directly."

After deciding on the design ideas and plans of the large capture ship, the experts began to think of other scenarios.

"I think so, the asteroid belt will indeed become a resource zone in the future." Ye Ming took off the VR glasses, and instead connected the screen with a monitor, he said with a smile: "In the space age, the resources of the home planet must be used as much as possible. Start with the Moon, Mars, and the asteroid belt, then look at the big moons of Jupiter, and finally go to the Keyinbo belt. ”

This is immediately someone asked, "What about the Oort Cloud?" ”

"Uh...... From a serious point of view, we can't be sure if there is such an area until the probe has passed. Saying that, Ye Ming paused and laughed: "But I take a position of approval." ”

And they all laughed in unison.

The Oort cloud is a hypothesis raised in order to find the origin of the comet.

The hypothesis has been continuously developed, and it is now widely believed by astronomers that the Oort cloud is the remnant of the nebula that formed the Sun and its planets 5 billion years ago, and encircles the entire solar system.

】

It is the home of the comet.

It's just that, as imagined, it has a radius of almost a light year......

If you really want to pass, you have to reach at least 1/10th of the speed of light to make sense.

"Eh, Mr. Ye, what do you say about the curvature engine?" At this time, Director Zhang's voice sounded in the conference room.

Everyone "brushed" and looked at Ye Ming.

The high-dimensional space membrane can also change the curvature, which was proposed by Ye Ming two years ago - theoretically, the detector wrapped in the high-dimensional space membrane can now achieve curvature "flight".

"Don't think about it for a while, you don't have enough energy." Ye Ming shook his head: "Take the Invitation Moon as an example, if you want to add a space membrane to the hull of the Invite Moon and enter the curvature state...... Well, to be precise, to reach 80% of the sub-light state, the maintenance energy it needs is four hundred thousand megawatts. At the speed of light, 500,000 megawatts ......"

"At present, the engine power of the Invitation Moon is only 10,000 megawatts, and even if superelectrodes are added to store energy on a large scale, it will not last long - in essence, the curvature engine still uses energy in exchange for spatial displacement, and on a spatial scale, it is conserved."

"Is the spatial scale here a high-dimensional space or a three-dimensional space?"

"The high-dimensional space membrane is used, and it must be a high-dimensional space scale." Ye Ming smiled and explained: "We can understand that when the spacecraft is covered with a space membrane, it is actually not displacing in three-dimensional space, but in four-dimensional space. It's just that in the higher dimension, it is not necessary to follow the principle that the speed of light cannot be surpassed. ”

"Hmm...... We can even think that the change in curvature of the high-dimensional space film is actually the movement of the high-dimensional projection in three dimensions. ”

Director Zhang laughed: "Yes, it's getting more and more mysterious." ”

Ye Ming also smiled: "Yes...... If we really want to achieve controllable and perfect curvature navigation, we have to wait until the theory is mature and unified. By the way, how's the UFO progress? Just now, Mr. Luo came to ask about the progress under the guise of Daoxi. ”

The so-called "flying saucer" refers to the previously designed saucer-shaped transport ship.

Well...... The kind that is specially used for taking off and landing large parts.

In the design, it makes perfect use of the anti-gravity force field structure, which can easily realize the loading and unloading of large equipment. It is not very convenient to transport those one-piece engines and reactor cores.

"It's going to be fast, and it will be possible to ignite the test flight in two months at most."

……

At the end of the meeting, Ye Ming walked into the small courtyard quickly.

The small courtyard was brightly lit, as if it were daytime.

Qi and Mo, Mo Gu, Li Dongsheng, Zhong Lei and others have already set up a barbecue stall, and Qi and Mo don't know where to find an apron to tie, and they are chatting with Mo Gu next to them while wearing meat skewers.

"Wow, I thought you'd all baked." Ye Ming stood by the barbecue grill and put his hand close to the burning solid alcohol to keep warm: "The result hasn't started yet?" ”

"I'm waiting for you." Li Dongsheng skillfully turned the charcoal, and the primer suddenly ignited: "Will you roast?" ”

Ye Ming coughed: "I will eat." ”

Everyone was happy.

Then everyone started at the same time, and Ye Ming was also wearing a skewer on the side decently.

Soon, the smoke rose, and Li Dongsheng turned into a barbecue stall owner and began to brush up vegetable oil and chili noodles neatly.

While eating barbecue, everyone also asked about the content of Ye Ming's meeting before, but after listening to a few words about the curvature, everyone was not interested, and instead led the topic back to the black hole probe launched today.

"It's completely boiling on social media right now." Qi and Mo held up their mobile phones and handed them to Ye Ming: "You see, there are two completely different attitudes now......

"Well, you know, it's too risky to say black hole detection." Ye Ming glanced at it and smiled disapprovingly.

Although he doesn't pay attention to social media, whether it is He Mo, Yin Ta, or other people chatting at the meeting, he will always reveal the current attitude of netizens on social media.

Even, not only netizens, but also the scientific community, there are also those who oppose this black hole exploration plan, and these people are not unknown, they are still the kind of famous scientists.

Not only did they publicly state that it was not appropriate for human beings to explore black holes at this time, but they even wrote a joint letter and sent it to Ye Ming, the United Nations, and the Internet - which also became one of the bases for those netizens who disagreed.

Even more radical netizens began to attack Ye Ming, saying that he was a dark scientist who tried to realize his curiosity and thus ignored the overall safety of mankind.

It's as if a black hole is about to trigger an alien invasion.

Most of these netizens are foreign.

For this ...... Ye Ming just wanted to say that these people were full and had nothing to do.

"Is that a risk?" Qi and Mo's eyes widened, and they looked at Ye Ming with a flutter.

"Forehead......" Ye Ming put down the barbecue skewer and smiled slightly after a moment: "Scientifically speaking, any exploration of the unknown is an adventure. But it is clear that the adventure is manageable and worth it. ”

"In fact, in the past few years, have we taken risks to do less?" Ye Ming looked at everyone and said softly: "From 22 years to 28 years now, it has only been six years...... Not only did we land on the moon, but we also built a base on the moon. ”

Ye Ming said and looked up at the moon.

Of course, far away, you can't see anything.

However, with the continuous improvement and expansion of the Guanghan base, it is now possible to see a little outline through an astronomical telescope on the earth. In the next step, the Guanghan base will expand to the side facing the Earth - due to the tidal lock, humans will be able to see the base on the moon on any moonlit night.

And that's not really much.

The real miracle is the first phase of the Space City project, which will be launched at the end of the year.

After the construction of the space city, humans will be able to see it in the sky with the naked eye.

"Including Aita, in fact, we also took the risk to advance." Ye Ming retracted his gaze and smiled: "There is also controlled nuclear fusion...... You say, which of us is not making great strides? ”

Lacquer and ink hummed softly.

When Ye Ming said six years just now, she realized that she and Ye Ming were ...... I've known each other for exactly six years.

These six years...... Well...... Well, six years of seeing his genius for myself.

Thankfully, the country did not live up to his genius, but supported him with all its might, which led to such a earth-shaking change.

"Sometimes, I really want to knock your brain open to see if there is a supercomputer in it." Lacquer and ink glanced at Ye Ming, their eyes rolling.

Hearing this, Mo Gu was slightly stunned, and she subconsciously looked at the back of Ye Ming's head.

She remembered too clearly, Ye Ming had a chip in the back of his head, and ...... Or did the surgery herself.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Mogu finally couldn't hold back and asked softly, "Are you okay?" ”

Seeing her touching the back of her head, Ye Ming understood in seconds.

"Of course, of course it's fine." Ye Ming smiled and grabbed a barbecue and handed it to Qi and Mo: "Come, eat barbecue!" ”

- If you don't gag your mouth, the paint and ink will have to ask questions.

……

The next day, Ye Ming and Li Dongsheng returned to the provincial capital - because Academician Pan's team had arrived at the provincial government, the next step was to relocate the quantum computer.

Although the relocation of the quantum computer has been simulated countless times, but now the task of Aita online is not trivial, it is impossible to make a mistake, therefore, the alternatives and remedial measures alone have been made countless articles, yes, the computer room that could have been moved in November last year did not dare to do it until the turn of the year.

Moreover, Academician Pan is said to have a surprise for Ye Ming.

Ye Ming returned to the office with the front foot, and Academician Pan rushed over with Tang Zhigao on the back foot.

"Teacher Pan, is this a happy event?"

Ye Ming looked at Academician Pan's red face, and he smiled and quipped.

"It should be you who have a happy event - the joy of housewarming." Academician Pan turned his head and looked at President Tang Zhigao with a smile: "You say, is it the joy of housewarming?" ”

"Uh-huh, count." Professor Tang laughed: "I moved this time, so I will have peace of mind in the future." ”

"Actually, it's okay if you don't move." Ye Ming shook his head with a smile: "In addition to physical destruction, who can do something to Aita?" ”

——The original decision to move the quantum computer underground was mainly due to the fact that there were signs of inappropriate people on the side of the United States, and the move of the server to the underground also released an attitude of daring to fight in China, which was quickly promoted.

Now that the United States has actually given up hostility, from the perspective of physical security, it doesn't matter whether it is moved or not.

Of course, the new computer room has been built, so it can't be said if you don't move it......

"Actually, I'd like to hear your surprise more than moving." Ye Ming looked at Academician Pan with a smile: "Is there a spectrum of quantum hard disk?" ”

"It's coming." Academician Pan also looked at him with a smile.

Ye Ming was slightly stunned.

Coming soon?

He knows Lao Pan, although Lao Pan is a physicist, but after so many years of working on quantum computers, he has long been a person who "does practical things".

He said "it's fast", and that's really fast!

"To what extent?"

"At present, we have found a new crystalline material, and the optical quantum information time can be stored for about a year......"

Ye Ming was stunned again: "I'll go!" So long? No...... Wait a minute! ”

Ye Ming said and got up.

He walked around the office quickly, and Academician Pan and Old Tang glanced at each other, and looked at him with a smile at the same time.

"Hmm...... A year or so, that's enough. ”

Ye Ming stood still after walking a few steps and looked at the two.

"Although quantum computers are not the same as classical computer architectures, data queuing is still a big problem in our classical computing."

Academician Pan nodded with a smile.

In order for a quantum computer to complete a classical task, it theoretically needs a strong translation layer - embodied in the Aita here, that is, the Aita in the data center room is used as the translation layer.

However, when translating the classical task into the computing core of the quantum computer, it is actually affected by data queuing.

And there are no more than two things that restrict data queuing.

One is caching and one is storage.

Well...... You can even simply understand that one is memory and the other is hard disk.

Then this kind of optical quantum information can be stored for a year, and it can act as this "memory".

"We have developed a small quantum computer system to assist in the exchange of data in Aita."

Academician Pan looked at Ye Ming and exhaled softly: "This is probably, it can raise Aita's computing power to a higher level again." ”
