The safe house at the No. 2 test site is located 3.5 kilometers away, and the construction crew has built a sidewalk to connect it, and Yang Zhongkai can see the snow piled up on both sides while sitting in the car.

"Forklifts come every day to remove snow for commuting, but soon we won't have to.

Did you know that the comprehensive conversion efficiency of the first test satellite we launched, Chiwu-1, was only 84%, and one-sixth of the energy was lost, even if we failed to break through 86% in many tests. ”

Maybe it's because he has been in an uninhabited place for too long, Ding Biyun seems quite talkative at this time:

"Later, we confirmed that the size of the receiving antenna was too small and the microwave beam emitted by the satellite was not concentrated enough, and the first problem was solved very simply, we built a larger and more reasonable No. 2 test base, and the maximum acceptance power bearing capacity was increased dozens of times!

As for the second one, we originally wanted to wait for it to be solved later, but Xinyuan solved this problem for us, and they directly took over the manufacturing of the launcher, and the performance was improved by more than ten times. ”

Speaking of this, Ding Biyun lowered his voice and pretended to be mysterious:

"I feel that they have had this kind of product for a long time, and according to the accuracy, it should be used for lasers with stronger direction, and it should be the technology of ultra-long-distance laser communication, and we have directly enjoyed the ready-made technology.

If this experiment is also completely successful, the future application prospects are unimaginable! ”

Yang Zhongkai: "For example? ”

Ding Biyun: "Do you know how the microwave oven was invented? There was a radar operator who noticed that the sugar in his pocket was melting, which made people realize that microwaves could be used to heat objects evenly.

But the scattering of electromagnetic waves is too strong, so we have to limit it to a concentration in an iron box, but now the power transmitted by Chiwu 3 is as high as 2.3 megawatts, although the limit range of concentration is also much larger than that of a microwave oven, but this power is ...... It is enough to have a significant effect on the human body.

Of course, it is not just heating, microwaves are also electromagnetic waves, such a strong electromagnetic environment will cause unpredictable disorders in the organs and nerves of the entire body, which is the real weapon of destruction that kills people.

You said you weren't going to study that...... Star Wars? Microwaves attenuate less in space, and you're just as effective at burning enemy ships with them. ”

“……”

Yang Zhongkai couldn't imagine what the physical disorder caused by electromagnetic waves would look like, but according to his common sense, it was terrifying enough to think about the fate of putting people in the microwave oven.

"So you're actually working on weapons, too? To be precise, solar-powered satellites can also kill? ”

"No, no, no, of course we're still doing it for peaceful purposes, and we've recently seen some other potential."

Of course, Ding Biyun has no interest in roasting humans alive, which sounds even more terrifying than a nuclear explosion. The latter can at least give a good time most of the time.

"The current Chiwu No. 3 solar cell part only accounts for 13 tons of mass, and the remaining 6 tons are given to heat dissipation, microwave transmitter and control unit, although the larger the mass of the non-energy supply part, the smaller the proportion of the mass, but it is still impossible to ignore, so we began to study another more advanced flexible solar panel."

"Flexible?"

"Yes, now our solar panels are composed of hard panels, and the main part of the first 160 megawatt power station put into practical use is a super large rectangle composed of solar cells, and the rest is mainly a transmitting antenna.

But let's think differently, don't use microwave transmitters, make the solar array round, and can bend and deform to a certain extent, so that its back is covered with another material, and the front is the power generation part after curling, and the back is the transmitter, which is simple and lightweight, and it is easy to control the focus range, because the area is large and the heat dissipation is easier to solve.

And think about it, what does it look like at this time? ”

"Like ...... A mirror. ”

"That's right, an opaque mirror that reflects light, it can focus not only microwaves, but also light, and although it is not as good as a real mirror, it also reflects a considerable amount of light over such a large area.

Do you remember the artificial moon that Rongcheng envisioned before? This mirror can do a similar job. ”

Yang imagined a blue-black, silver curled mirror in the synchronous orbit that could bring both electricity and light.

He also remembered what Ding Biyun had just said about the focusing effect, the intensity of the light focused by such a large mirror may be able to directly ignite the ground, and only the name of the "Staff of God" can match it.

With his mind already divergent, he even began to think of more uses:

"Now we are converting the focused microwave into electricity here, so that we can not focus it, or expand the focus radius to cover the whole city, so that people don't even need to use batteries, mobile phones can be charged at any time, and electric cars don't need to worry about battery life......"

"Mr. Yang, according to your idea, we have to consider the problem of interference first, and the chaos caused by such a wide area of high-intensity electromagnetic environment is probably even greater."

"Uh......"

Yang Zhongkai was a little embarrassed, but Ding Bijun didn't mean to laugh:

"But this is also something that cannot be achieved with current technology, and maybe one day in the future it will become a reality, in fact, even the kind of 'mirror' I am talking about will have to be developed at least to the fourth, fifth, or even more generations of solar cells to achieve, and the cost of manufacturing them is so high that it is simply not affordable.

But we should all believe that we will definitely be able to wait for the ideal day in this life. ”

During the conversation, the car had arrived at the safe house, which actually looked much like a normal makeshift house, except that the walls and roof were covered with a layer of shiny material that looked like aluminum foil.

Blocking microwaves is not a difficult task, as long as it is covered with a layer of reflective material, the safe house is also filled with similar materials in addition to the outer layer of the outer panel, which can basically ensure that the people in the house are not affected, the only problem is that the signal transmission is almost blocked.

Yang Zhongkai didn't have a chance to interject after he arrived here, but just watched the others busy and didn't hear a word "coming" until the evening.

He already knew that the focusing and positioning of microwaves required a process, and the 10 kilometers around the No. 2 test base belonged to the warning zone, and there was the possibility of concentrating a large number of microwaves.

When the transmission began, he didn't notice anything unusual at all, and after about a minute, he saw the snow outside the window begin to melt, and immediately spread at an alarming rate, turning the white snow into a gurgling stream, and then quickly evaporating to reveal the soil below.

At the same time, the same thing is happening in the forest outside, the snow that clings to the branches and needles melts faster, and the vast snow forest quickly changes from white to dark green and brown as if it were fading, and if you ignore the still thick snow, it looks more like spring and autumn.

The vast forest is divided in time, and the seasons of the trees are out of place with the ground, and the sense of discord is extremely strong.

Dante is more concerned about the fluctuation of the antenna array's received power, which is growing rapidly with the focus of Chiwu 3, which has exceeded 1 megawatt.
