Chapter 250 One and a half million tons, energy
In the beam channel, the Space Shuttle Blue Sparrow continues to accelerate with an acceleration of 1.2 g.
An hour and a half later, the shuttle reached a speed of sixty-five kilometers per second.
At this time, the acceleration first gradually decreases to zero, then becomes negative 1.2 g, and the velocity begins to decrease continuously.
As for the 51 lunar landers in the cabin, as well as other related personnel, they set up different channels and chatted in the channels.
For example, Su Zhe, Fan Xiaoming, Xu Zhengping, and Dai Ping'an are talking about the next work to be done in the channel.
As agreed by the four of them, the school will lead the construction of a permanent base on the moon and the subsequent development of the moon.
The Nine Heavens Research Center will lead the construction of the Light Pillar project.
As far as the current situation is concerned, it is urgent to solve the energy problem, after all, relying on the earth's existing energy to support the development of the moon and the solar system is simply not feasible and unrealistic.
"In the next period of time, some schools will be busy, not to mention the construction of the Tamu Gobi, and at the same time as building a permanent base on the moon, we must also prepare for the development of the moon." Xu Zhengping said in the channel.
"Yes! It's very busy! Fan Xiaoming said, "While our research center is leading the construction of the light pillar project, there are still many problems to be solved, but the problems are not big." ”
"Yes!" Dai Ping'an said, "To be honest, I look forward to the Sanmen Project and the Light Pillar Project, especially the Light Pillar Project, to achieve results as soon as possible, with endless energy, we can develop the entire solar system on a large scale, I am far from it, our college has developed a lot of detectors, these probes have to detect the solar system, and there are also probe accidents." ”
"I know a little bit about that." Su Zhe said, "But it's not just our school that wants to launch the probe, the space agency, other universities, related research institutes, etc., they have applied to our research center for a quota for a simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine. ”

"Well, I want to say, from the relevant research data on the front side of the moon, the moon has rich resources, of course, we will not mine these resources on a large scale, but we can make the moon a springboard for us to develop the solar system." Xu Zhengping said, "Build a complete industrial system on the front side of the moon to support our development of the solar system." ”
"Yes! According to the school's plan, while the construction of a permanent base on the moon is completed, it is planned to land on Mars and build an equally permanent base on Mars. Dai Ping'an said.
"Landing on Mars! I think it will happen soon. Fan Xiaoming said.
……
Another hour and a half passed, and it was half past ten in the evening.
At this time, the test airport was brightly lit, and a large number of people stood next to the test airport and looked up at the space shuttle Blue Sparrow that was slowly descending.
After a while, the Space Shuttle Blue Sparrow stopped smoothly at the test airfield.
Amid the cheers of everyone, the cabin of the space shuttle Blue Sparrow was opened, and 51 lunar landers flew out of the cabin one after another under the leadership of Dai Ping'an, and stood neatly next to the space shuttle Blue Sparrow.
……
Su Zhe, Fan Xiaoming and some other lunar landers returned to their normal lives after completing physical examinations.
However, there will be a period of observation for the bodies of those who have landed on the moon.
After leaving the test airport, the group arrived at the cafeteria.
After supper, everyone chatted in twos and threes.
Some people are talking to others about how they feel on the moon these days, and some people are talking about what they have seen and heard on the moon.
And Su Zhe, Fan Xiaoming, Dai Ping'an, and Xu Zhengping talked about the arrangements for the next period of time.
After determining what to do in the near future, the time came at half past eleven, and everyone left the cafeteria and went back to their lodgings to sleep.
On the way back, Fan Xiaoming said to Su Zhe: "There are three space shuttles tomorrow, no!" It was the test flight of three flying saucers, as well as the transportation of modules of the space part of the three-door program. ”
"It's assembled so quickly! It's fast enough. Su Zhe was a little surprised, "That's right! Are all the modules of the space part of the three-gate program ready? ”
"It's all ready, just waiting for transportation." Fan Xiaoming nodded, "However, it will take a while to build, and it is estimated that it will be completed simultaneously with the ground part of the Sanmen plan, and it will not be until the end of August or early September." ”
The ground portion of the three-gate project is a triad of the Super Hadron Collider, the Beam Channel Generator, and the Beam Engineering Energy Receiver.
The longest of these is the Super Hadron Collider, which requires too much equipment to be installed.
The diameter of the beam channel generator is 500 meters, which can accommodate several spacecraft at the same time.
As for the Light Pillar Engineering Energy Receiver, it's even more magical.
At full power, the energy received by the energy receiver of this light pillar project can support the use of three Tamu Gobi.
To put it more figuratively, 500 such energy receivers would be enough to support the existing global energy consumption.
The space part of the three-door program.
Strictly speaking, it is divided into two parts.
They are the beam engineering part and the beam channel part.
The light pillar project part consists of six solar energy collection stations and three light energy transmission stations.
The beam channel part is a combination of a beam channel generator and a light energy transmission station, which not only integrates multiple beam channel generators, but also can transmit energy and provide spacecraft stay.
In fact, it is a spaceport in the actual sense.
"Okay! It seems that we will have to stay in the Tamu Gobi for a while. Su Zhe said.
"That's all there is to it." Fan Xiaoming said, "To be honest, the most delayed thing is the transportation of materials and equipment, and the total mass that needs to be transported in the space part of the entire Sanmen plan is as high as 1.5 million tons, and if an aircraft carrier is 100,000 tons, we will have to transport 15 aircraft carriers into space." ”
The space component of the three-gate program contains a spaceport in a synchronous orbit, the mass of which is three hundred thousand tons.
Six solar energy collection stations, 150,000 tonnes each.
Three light energy transmission stations, each 100,000 tons.
This is now, with the beam channel, with the space shuttle equipped with a simplified version of the aerospace engine and the flying saucer that will be tested.
Who would have thought of sending these things weighing 1.5 million tons into space.
That's it, it's still in stages, before and after flying.
The first thing to do is to build a solar power collection station and an energy transmission station, as well as a spaceport, which is 550,000 tons of supplies to be transported.
When these two are finished and can provide a steady stream of energy, the rest will be completed.
Just these 550,000 tons of materials, transported to the synchronous orbit, how much energy is consumed.
"No way! With the existing beam channels, spacecraft can't be built any bigger. Su Zhe said.
"I know that." Fan Xiaoming nodded, "So when our three-door plan is completed, there will be a beam channel with a diameter of 500 meters, and then the spacecraft will be able to build a larger spacecraft, and its payload can be 300,000 tons." ”
"Yes! At that time, many things would not be assembled in space, they could be assembled directly on the ground, and then sent directly to space through the beam channel. Su Zhe said with a smile.
In order to complete the space part of the three programs, the research center and the school have trained a total of 3,000 professionals.
These people must not only be familiar with the relevant profession, but also train to work in space.
But now with humanoid robots and spacesuits with superior performance, the requirements for personnel are not so high.
"Yes!" Fan Xiaoming nodded, "Not to mention, the Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics has designed a flying saucer with a payload of 100,000 tons, and it has been arranged to be manufactured, just wait for the three-door plan to end the test flight." ”
"I know that." Su Zhe smiled and nodded.
……
The next day, Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming came to the test airport early.
The two of them stood there looking at the six big guys in front of them.
Fan Xiaoming said with a smile: "In this way, there is really no difference between flying saucers." ”
"This is a flying saucer." Su Zhe said with a smile.
"The Blue Sparrow, the White Goose, and the Black Wither, are designed to be the most reasonable, not like an airplane." Fan Xiaoming said.
After watching the six flying saucers, the two came to the control hall, and when the two arrived, the president Xu Zhengping and the dean of the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Dai Ping'an, were already there.
After saying hello, the four of them sat down and looked at the big screen in unison, and the manned Blue Sparrow flying saucer was activated.
After a blue beam of light appeared over the test airfield, the Blue Sparrow flew slowly.
After entering the beam channel with a diameter of 30 meters, it began to self-test.
After the self-test is completed, it starts to accelerate.
The acceleration at the beginning was not large, and after crossing thirty kilometers at its altitude, it reached a hundred g in a very short time.
At an altitude of 18,000 kilometers, its speed reaches 200 kilometers per second.
Six minutes after takeoff, the Blue Sparrow flew into synchronous orbit.
After circling the space solar power station, it re-enters the beam channel.
Xu Zhengping looked at the returning Blue Sparrow flying saucer on the big screen, and sighed: "If you don't have a person, it will only take ten minutes to go back and forth to the synchronous orbit, and if you are manned, it will take more than an hour, and you can't compare!" ”
"What's the solution, who told us not to withstand excessive acceleration." Fan Xiaoming said, "But then again, an hour is already a short time. ”
In the morning, the six flying saucers completed the test perfectly.
In the afternoon, in addition to the two manned Blue Sparrow flying saucers, the other two White Goose flying saucers and two Black Wither flying saucers sailed to synchronous orbit to transport materials for the construction of the spaceport.
Of course, the two manned Lanceks were not idle, each carrying 300 professionals in armoured spacesuits.
At the same time, the first matter to be transported to the synchronous orbit was none other than twenty-five humanoid robots.
While the four flying saucers of the White Goose and the Black Wither were transporting supplies one after another, in the synchronous orbit, there were two Blue Sparrow flying saucers, as well as 300 professionals in armored spacesuits and 5,000 humanoid robots that were remotely controlled.
These 300 professionals and remotely controlled humanoid robots were the original builders, and more will be added in the future.
The three hundred professionals returned after two hours in the synchronous orbit.
In later construction, professionals went back and forth between the ground and the synchronous orbit every day, and their daily on-orbit time was two hours.
After six o'clock, the ground established a beam channel with the beam channel generator in lunar orbit.
The four flying saucers, the White Goose and the Black Wither, went to the moon again and again to send materials for the construction of a permanent base on the moon.
And Su Zhe, Fan Xiaoming, Xu Zhengping and some people control the humanoid robot on the moon to unload the flying saucer.
From 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., a total of four hours, the total mass of supplies transported to the moon was more than 10,000 tons.
The total mass of materials for the construction of a permanent base on the moon is 90,000 tons, and if 10,000 tons are transported every day, it will take nine days.
Of course, among the first deliveries, there were 440 humanoid robots, and in addition to the previous ones, there are now a total of 500 humanoid robots on the moon.
Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming came out of the game cabin.
Dai Ping'an looked at Xu Zhengping with some worry and asked, "Teacher!" Are you really going to be involved in the second group of people who went to the moon? ”
"Yes! I decided. Xu Zhengping was a little dissatisfied, "What! If you can go, I can't go. ”
"No, I'm worried about your body." Dai Ping'an hurriedly said.
"I'm fine!" Xu Zhengping said, "The acceleration of one point and two Gs is no different from taking an airplane." ”
"Alright! Then you can go and go back. Dai Ping'an said.
"What are you doing back! I want to participate in the construction of a permanent base on the moon, and this time it will not only be us, but also personnel from other units in China, adding up to more than 300 people. Xu Zhengping said.
Hearing this, Fan Xiaoming smiled and said, "These people who are in a hurry to go to the moon are good people!" They took the initiative to share the cost of our energy consumption, saving us a whole trillion yuan. ”
It's also kind of funny.
Since their successful landing on the moon, personnel from relevant domestic units have been in a hurry to go to the moon.
Of course, these people are not traveling, they are doing scientific research, or the development of the moon.
But so many people go to the moon, they need to build shelters on the moon, and they need more materials.
Considering the cost of energy, the school did not agree at first, because it would take another two months for the three-door project to be completed, and then energy would not be an issue.
But the relevant people disagreed, and strongly demanded that the sooner the better.
In order to convince the school, these people offered to help the school with the allocation of energy, and paid for the related expenses.
From the moon landing, to the construction of the space part of the Sanmen program, to the construction of a permanent base on the moon, a lot of energy needs to be consumed, and according to the existing electricity prices in China, these energy sources are worth 1 trillion yuan.
To be honest, 1 trillion yuan is not a big problem for Lingzhou University of Technology and Jiutian Research Center, and the most critical thing is the allocation of energy.
It's because it's to maintain the beam path for a long time, and to provide energy to those humanoid robots.
These days, the relevant domestic authorities have begun to promote the conservation of electricity across the country, and many areas have begun to have planned power rationing, and power plants are running at full power.
Now that the energy is available, and the money for the energy has been given, the school has no reason to refuse the request of the relevant departments.
