Chapter 513 [Medium and Long-term Planning]
Under the promotion of Qunxing Capital, the project has received the support of more than a dozen ministries and commissions, and organized more than 370 experts to conduct systematic demonstration and re-verification of various branch technologies, and then conduct comprehensive demonstration.
As a result, the "day-by-day project" was established as a national-level long-term planning project, and a space solar power plant committee was established to formulate a medium- and long-term development plan and roadmap for the "day-by-day project".
Generally speaking, the medium- and long-term development plan is divided into "three small steps" and "two big steps" planning ideas.
The "three small steps" are the ground floating test, space power management, and space-ground wireless energy transmission test.
The "two major steps" are to carry out MW-level system test verification and build GW-level commercial power stations.
The medium-term plan for the whole project is from 2012 to 2030, and the long-term plan is from 2030 to 2050.
After the medium- and long-term plan for this mega project is drawn up, it will be announced to the public.
It's impossible to hide it.
The human, material, and financial resources involved are extremely large-scale, and it is absolutely impossible to conceal it, and there is no need to conceal it.
However, there is information about this super project, and there is also top-secret information that cannot be released.
The top-secret part of it is the high-energy space-based weapon system, which is directly related to the military.
In other words, space solar power stations are not only engaged in microwave transmission technology, but also lasers.
And the research and development of laser technology also has to catch up with the schedule.
Although the orbital space-based light energy strike system will cause energy attenuation due to the scattering effect of the earth's atmosphere, even the haze can prevent laser to a certain extent.
However, as long as the output energy level is large enough, the disturbance caused by the earth's atmosphere can be ignored, that is, as long as the scale of the space solar power station is large enough, it is flawed.
At that time, the space-based solar energy weapon system established on the basis of the space solar energy power station can be used as an offensive weapon to carry out orbital strikes at fixed points, and can also be used as a defensive weapon to protect the space solar energy power station.
It can protect the national security of the planet and ensure that weapons of mass destruction are kept out of the country, such as intercontinental ballistic missiles carrying nuclear warheads.
As soon as the enemy's nuclear bomb was lifted into the air, it was directly hit by the speed of light, and it was solved at the speed of light before it flew out of the mainland.
This is true light-speed solution.
It is worth mentioning that the creation of such a huge artificial celestial structure in space, the large and small satellite debris and space junk scattered in space orbit undoubtedly pose a threat to space solar power stations to a certain extent.
Rabbit: Well, it's not for anyone, it's not for any space arms race, but for the disposal of space junk close to space solar power stations.
Hawk-chan: How much power do you have to deal with space debris? You can poke a big hole in the deck of an aircraft carrier, and you tell me to deal with space junk?
Rabbit: Ahem, you still can't hide it? In recent years, scientists have found more and more asteroids around the earth that have potential threats to the earth, and we must prevent it from happening.
Hawk-chan: It's not Fack who said.
Obviously, there are two sides to everything, and dealing with space junk, collisions with extraterrestrial asteroids, and the like is precisely the best reason given to the outside world for the development of space-based light energy weapon systems.
Human demand for energy is increasing day by day, and it is foreseeable that before the controlled nuclear fusion technology is developed and the laboratory can "boil water" to generate electricity, the space solar power station is undoubtedly the most feasible solution to the future medium- and long-term century-old scenario.
Because it has been verified for technical feasibility and has also been verified for economic feasibility. Invest 1 yuan to earn 1.9 yuan, and the profit of 9 cents is not fragrant? Definitely fragrant.
From now to the next 15 years of planning, vigorously promote the development of the photovoltaic industry and the upgrading of technology, and promote the new photovoltaic energy on the ground, there is no doubt that the space solar power station is excessive and accumulation.
A big problem is eventually divided into a number of small problems, and then solved one by one, and the big problem is solved.
The most important thing is that Fang Hong, who has been reborn through the rebirth, knows that according to the International Energy Agency's global carbon emission roadmap goal, to achieve carbon emissions to zero by 2050, then the proportion of renewable and clean energy power generation needs to increase from the current 20% to nearly 90%.
And with the passage of time, the further the development, the human consumption of electricity and energy is soaring, and the total number of solar photovoltaic power stations in the world will increase by more than 600GW every year, which is equivalent to nearly 30 Three Gorges power stations.
Under such a huge scale, it is certainly not enough to just lay a solar photovoltaic power station on the ground, so even in the consideration of carbon emissions, in the future, space photovoltaic power stations are likely to be really launched.
As long as the space solar power station is developed, even if controlled nuclear fusion has not yet been developed, mankind can still achieve energy freedom.
The space solar power station is 10 times more effective than directly using solar power on the earth, that is, the average radiation intensity received by the space solar power station is ten times that of the earth's surface, because it operates in a geostationary orbit at an altitude of 36,000 kilometers, it can receive sunlight 99.99% of the time every day, so it can generate electricity around the clock.
Ground-based solar photovoltaic power stations can only generate electricity during the day, and considering the combined effects of climate disturbances such as different light intensity in the morning and evening, and climate disturbances such as the change of seasons, the ground-based solar power station is ultimately only 8% to 12% of the energy radiation intensity under the loss of various factors.
Although the space solar power station is affected by factors such as microwave device conversion, rectification efficiency, atmospheric loss, and beam collection, the energy radiation intensity will also be lost to only about 32%.
Although only about 32% is left, the actual daily power generation of space solar power plants is also 2.5 to 4 times that of current ground-based solar power plants, which is still quite fantastic and attractive.
Another major advantage of space solar power stations is incomparable to ground-based solar power stations, that is, the stability of power generation.
There is no trouble that comes with day and night on the ground.
The most criticized problem of renewable energy is the problem of peaks and troughs, not only solar photovoltaic power plants, but also hydropower stations, which have to shut down in the event of a drought.
The space solar power station does not have the trouble of peaks and troughs, and can provide stable power supply around the clock.
