Early the next morning, Su Zhe, Fan Xiaoming and others got on the bus arranged by Northwest Dianzi University after breakfast.

A group of more than 300 people will take a bus to the Zhuguang Engineering Base, which is 50 kilometers away from Northwest University of Electronic Science and Technology.

The base is located in a ravine, and there are no people within 20 kilometers of it.

The bus convoy drove on the road for nearly two hours, and finally arrived at the Zhuguang Engineering Base smoothly.

The base is surrounded by small hills, and access is only by a road.

Su Zhe and his entourage of more than 300 people arrived, and after a short rest, they began to visit the Zhuguang Engineering Base.

There are many buildings built against the mountains in this ravine, but the most conspicuous is the center of the ravine.

In the center of the ravine is a circular building with a diameter of 30 meters.

After the introduction of Academician Zhao Guoan, everyone knows that this is a receiver of dual-light source energy transmission technology.

This receiver is capable of receiving beams of transmitting energy from multiple directions.

In the morning, the group visited the base of the project, and in the afternoon, the group came to the central control center of the project.

The central control center has a very large screen, and there are many sub-screens in the screen.

There are ground receivers, there are space solar power stations.

Academician Zhao Guoan excitedly introduced these.

At the beginning, Academician Zhao Guoan gave a general introduction to the light-chasing project.

The purpose of the light-chasing project is to build a solar power station in outer space and then transmit the energy to the earth's surface through infinite transmission.

After years of research, Academician Zhao Guoan's scientific research team has solved most of the problems, and the only problem that has not been solved is the problem of energy transmission from space to the surface.

Before the emergence of dual-light source energy transmission technology, microwave transmission was used, but there were too many disadvantages of microwave transmission, and the result was that the light-chasing project could not be broken through.

Now, the whole process of the light-chasing project is that the space solar power station converts the collected solar energy into electricity, and then converts the electrical energy into a specific wavelength of light, that is, the electrical energy into light energy.

Light energy is then transmitted to the surface through the transmitter of a space solar power station, and after receiving the light energy by a receiver on the surface, this light energy is converted into electricity.

The electrical energy can be integrated into the power grid through frequency modulation and voltage transformation.

After a brief introduction to the light-chasing project, Academician Zhao Guoan began to explain to everyone the various pictures displayed on the big screen of the central control center.

The ground receiver was visited by everyone in the morning, and Academician Zhao Guoan took it in a word, and then focused on the solar power station in synchronous orbit.

On the big screen, the solar power plant looks like an open umbrella.

Academician Zhao Guoan looked at the big screen while introducing.

"The space solar power station is in a synchronous orbit more than 30,000 kilometers away from us, and in our design, those panels are always facing the sun, and the dual-light source energy transmission technology transmitter carried by the space solar power station is always oriented towards the light-chasing engineering base."

"To be honest, it's very difficult to do that, and you need to provide additional power to adjust, and the power of the space solar power plant is provided by nine plasma engines."

"As you know, the plasma engine not only needs energy, but also needs a medium, and there is no shortage of energy, but the medium is difficult...... I look forward to the early success of the heavy photon aerospace engine. ”

“……”

After Academician Zhao Guoan introduced the space solar power station, the experiment began.

The visitors in the central control center looked nervously at the big screen.

Under the control of the staff of the central control center, the space solar power station in synchronous orbit was moved.

Then, the ground receiver also moved.

Almost simultaneously, a clearly visible yellow beam of light was emitted from the edges of the ground receiver and the transmitter of the space solar power station.

In the blink of an eye, both the transmitter and receiver received their respective yellow beams.

Two parallel yellow beams connect the ground receiver to the transmitter of the space solar power station.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Guoan said excitedly: "Not to mention anything else, in order to achieve point-to-point docking across more than 30,000 kilometers, we have worked hard, even now, we are still optimizing, these two yellow beams are high-purity monochromatic light, which can ......"

Under Zhao Guoan's introduction, everyone knows that these two yellow beams are for positioning, so that the ground receiver and the space solar transmitter are always opposite.

These two yellow beams are quite the switches of the transmitter of the ground receiver and the space solar power station, and the transmitter of the space solar power station will only be activated if the two yellow beams are parallel.

In layman's terms, two parallel yellow beams are necessary for the launch of a solar power station launcher in space.

Zhao Guoan was saying that, in the picture of the big screen, the space solar power station launcher emitted a red beam with a diameter of three meters.

After 0.1 seconds, the red beam, which was three meters in diameter, reached the ground receiver.

Immediately, one side of the large screen shows the parameters of the entire system.

From the parameters, it is known that the energy is transmitted from space to the ground, and the efficiency of energy transmission reaches 98%.

The distance of more than 30,000 kilometers lost only two percent of the energy.

You know, the beam of light that transmits energy passes through the atmosphere.

At this moment, the astronauts on the two space stations, which are at orbital altitudes of 330 kilometers and 400 kilometers respectively, saw through the portholes of the space stations a red beam of light connecting the Earth with the deep space of the universe.

The astronauts of the former felt the fear and wondered if the red beam was shooting from the Earth into deep space or from deep space to the Earth.

The men anxiously connected to the ground, wondering where the red beam was coming from.

The astronauts of the latter were full of excitement, either looking at the red beam through the porthole, or looking at the pictures displayed on the display screen in the space station, which were synchronized with the pictures displayed on the large screen in the central control center of the light-chasing engineering base.

The astronauts watched and chatted excitedly.

It was not only the astronauts who could see the red beam, but also people in parts of the night who could see it.

However, it is difficult to see with the naked eye, and you need to use a telescope.

Through the telescope, these people in the dark can see a red beam of light passing through the starry sky, and they can also see that the red beam is motionless.

In the light-chasing engineering base, everyone in the central control center stared at the parameters of the big screen and listened to the explanation of Academician Zhao Guoan.

"The diameter of this red beam is three meters, and the reason why it is so thick is to reduce the energy power per unit area."

"Don't look at the low power of energy transmission, this is what we set on purpose, and it is still in the testing stage at this stage......"

"In the process of energy transmission, we must not only consider the problem of energy transmission power, but also consider the problem of safety, as far as the current energy transmission power is concerned, there is no fatal harm to people."

“……”

Fifteen minutes later, there was a round of applause in the central control center.

As we all know, the test of the experimental station of the light-chasing project has been successful, and the next thing to do is to continuously adjust and optimize.

However, it will take some time before it can be implemented on a large scale, and there are still many problems that need to be solved.

For example, the problem of the power of the space solar power station, after all, relying on the plasma engine that requires the medium is not a long-term solution, and the problem of the orbit where the space solar power station is located, etc

Overall, there is still a long way to go before mass use can be achieved.

The test was successful, and the completion ceremony of the Northwest University of Electronic Science and Technology Chasing Light Engineering Experimental Station began.

In the center of the ravine, a stage was erected next to the ground receiver.

Su Zhe and a group of witnesses sat under the stage, Academician Zhao Guoan stood on the stage to tell the story of the construction of the light-chasing project, and behind the stage was a red beam of light that shot obliquely from the sky.

As Zhao Guoan was talking, everyone saw an eagle flying in the distance.

Amid the exclamations of the crowd, the eagle passed through the red beam.

What the crowd feared did not happen.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the completion ceremony of the experimental station of the Northwest University of Electronic Science and Technology was over, and everyone got on the bus and left the base of the project.

When everyone returned to Northwest Dianzi University, it happened to be dinner, and some of Su Zhe, Fan Xiaoming, and Xu Zhengping had dinner, and after a short rest, they got on the bus.

They had to rush to the satellite launch center more than 100 kilometers away overnight to watch the launch of the Xuanwu program's space probe.

There were more than 70 people who went to the satellite launch center from Northwest Dianzi University, and these people were divided into two buses.

Su Zhe, Fan Xiaoming, Xu Zhengping, and Zhao Guoan sat on the bus.

The group looked out the window at the red beam of light in the distance.

"The red beam has been going on for five hours, and now it's safe to say that the system is complete." Xu Zhengping looked at Zhao Guoan, who was sitting next to him, and said.

"It can only be said that it has been preliminarily completed." Zhao Guoan modestly said, "To be honest, the light-chasing project is not as far as the light-pillar project, and besides, we can't spread solar panels in the geosynchronous orbit of the earth, but the light-chasing project can transmit the light energy collected by the light-chasing project to the planets with atmospheres." ”

The goal of the light-chasing project is really not big, it just wants to collect solar energy around the earth and send the collected energy to the surface of the earth, only for the earth.

But the light pillar project is different, it collects solar energy in the space around the sun, and sends the collected energy to any place in the solar system, even the outer space of the solar system, aiming at the entire solar system.

In addition, the essential principles of the light pillar project and the light chasing project are also different.

The core of the light-chasing project is electrical energy, and no matter what the process is, it will eventually return to electrical energy, but the core of the light-column project is light energy.

Hearing Academician Zhao Guoan say this, Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming smiled.

"Academician Zhao! You don't have to be presumptuous, whether it is a light-chasing project or a light-pillar project, it is what human beings need, and no one thinks farther. Xu Zhengping smiled, "To be honest, with the development of the economy, energy is the core problem, as long as the energy problem is solved, 90% of the problems of mankind can be solved." ”

"Yes! Yes! Zhao Guoan looked at Su Zhe as he spoke, and said with a smile, "Professor Su! I have carefully read your three papers, and with these three papers, the realization of the light pillar project will no longer be a dream, and the scientific and technological tree of human light energy will become possible. ”

"That's right! I think so too. Xu Zhengping smiled and nodded.

"In my opinion, it won't be long before we can build a fiber optic cable that can transmit high-power light energy, so that the energy transmission that comes over does not have to rely on electrical energy transmission, and there is ......," Zhao Guoan said excitedly.

Suddenly, several people heard the exclamations of the five assistants Zong Lanyue and Liu Fen, saying that they were all talking about the red beam on the Internet.

Su Zhe and the others smiled and took out their mobile phones.

At a glance, as the five assistants said, it had spread on the Internet.

Su Zhe looked at Zhao Guoan and asked with a smile: "It's all this time, don't you plan to open the project to the public?" ”

"No hurry! Let the Internet ferment first, so that there will be more people who pay attention. Zhao Guoan replied with a smile.

"It's okay at home, anyway, everyone who should know knows what's going on, but it's different abroad, and the other party still thinks that we have developed some powerful weapons." Fan Xiaoming said, "Look, there are all kinds of conspiracy theories on the Internet, and many of them have been moved from foreign networks, saying that we have developed a big killing weapon." ”

"Almost!" Zhao Guoan said seriously, "As far as the current space solar power station is concerned, as long as we want to, it will become a super weapon in minutes, of course, now the sky is not good, we have made restrictions on hardware, after all, we are developing civilian facilities." ”

"That's right! Security is no joke. Xu Zhengping said affirmatively, "But I have heard that the launch of the Xuanwu Program space probe we visited this time is different from the previous one, and it is through the SS-defense system to see this launch." ”

Zhao Guoan looked left and right, and whispered: "I heard that the diameter of the highest-grade deathlight launcher of the SS-Defense System's deathlight weapon is thirty meters, and it is easy to take out an aircraft carrier. ”

"Indeed! However, this thing consumes a lot of electricity, taking the highest-level dead light transmitter as an example, holding a *** clock will consume a day's electricity consumption of a small city with a population of 500,000. Su Zhe explained.

"We are in such a hurry to launch probes and deploy SS-defense systems, isn't it for the asteroid collision event!" Fan Xiaoming said.

"We're not going to be so unlucky! Even if those two asteroids do collide, it may have little effect on our planet. Zhao Guoan sighed.

"We're going to prepare for the worst." Xu Zhengping said.

“……”

Along the way, everyone watched the news on the Internet and chatted at the same time.

From the light-chasing project to the light-pillar project, and then to the collision of two asteroids.

After talking about that, we talked about the SS-defense system again.

Before they knew it, more than two hours had passed, and everyone had arrived at the satellite launch center more than 100 kilometers away.

This satellite launch center is only more than 100 kilometers away from the Tamu Gobi.

After Su Zhe and his entourage got out of the car, they were greeted by Zhang Gaoming, director of the Lingzhou Institute of Optoelectronics.

As soon as they met, Zhang Gaoming congratulated Su Zhe and Zhao Guoan again and again.

Congratulations on the success of the Chasing Light Engineering Experimental Station.
