Chapter 626 Environmental Issues

"Manpower manipulates seasonal changes and makes breakthroughs in day-by-day projects."

"Chinese scientists recently launched a high-power space-to-earth electric energy transmission test, with a peak power of more than 2,300 kilowatts."

"The era of wireless energy has come, and Rongcheng plans to use all clean space electricity within 10 years."

"International ecological experts criticize microwave power transmission: it is a serious interference with the laws of nature."

"'Green head overnight', the team of Chang'an University of Science and Technology brought spring in advance."

“……”

"Okay, well, we're going to invest more in the day-by-day plan!"

The news that Lin Ju got the success of the Chiwu No. 3 test was not much faster than the media, after all, he had too many things to care about.

However, compared to the media, he has the precise data of this trial.

To put it in one word: smooth.

It has a receiving power of 2,320 kilowatts for 10 minutes, which can light up more than 9,000 street lights, which has practical value.

The reception efficiency was successfully achieved with the support of the precise focusing system transplanted from Qianjun Bang-1, which means that the first phase of the 160 MW space power station has the foundation to be built and enough to start construction.

But what attracted him the most was the new pie painted by Ding Biyun by the way, which added one item in addition to those that Yang Zhongkai boasted: microwave smelting.

This technology is not new, and microwave steelmaking technology is now widely used around the world, suitable for some more complex slag ore or scrap metal, but it is not mainstream.

The microwave smelting proposed by Ding Biyun is, of course, applied to the moon, and does not conflict with laser smelting.

Of course, the temperature and efficiency of laser smelting far exceed that of microwaves, but microwaves also have their own advantages.

The premise of laser smelting is to complete ore excavation, crushing, primary separation and pretreatment, but microwave smelting, as its name suggests, can directly carry out preliminary smelting of buried raw ore.

Of course, the practical application still needs to be crushed, but it can directly rough the ore to remove those impurities with low melting point and high proportion first, so that laser refining can greatly improve efficiency.

And as long as the microwave power and range are adjusted, it can also provide a large area of wireless "electricity" coverage for the moon, and any device working on the lunar surface can obtain "endless energy".

Although these are just cakes painted by Ding Biyun, Lin Ju wants to eat them!

However, his happy appearance sighed slightly after Ye Changsi saw it, the success of the day-by-day project may be the best news they have heard recently.

Today is January 12th, and it has begun to become easier because of the smell of the New Year as usual, but the upper level of the base is still running at a high speed.

For the New Year of 2018, they are ready, except for the middle and lower level of senior engineers will stay, and the use of 10 A-level cards has been basically determined, and once the upgrade is completed, they will start their work non-stop.

But he couldn't bear to spoil the good atmosphere now, and smiled and cooperated:

"The breakthrough speed of the day-by-day project is really fast, and it can even change the solar terms of a region, and maybe it can be used in the north in the future, so that the permafrost can become Toyota, and it will also ripen several times a year like the tropics, or open up larger grasslands, so that the people can really feel the benefits of aerospace technology."

Lin Ju agrees with his point of view, microwaves change heat energy, that is, temperature, and it is needless to say how much change can be brought about by adjusting the temperature of an area.

"Then you have to be careful, otherwise the rice will be roasted before it is harvested."

Both of them were amused by this cold joke, of course, there is still a long way to go to achieve this step, and the scale of investment is also unimaginable at this stage.

After some laughter, the two returned to the topic, and Ye Changsi said his thoughts:

"The three A+ are handed over to materials, nuclear technology, and theoretical physics, which can basically carry out several important projects such as red science, metal hydrogen, quantum technology, and nuclear fusion, and the remaining four A-level are assigned according to 1, 1, and 2.

I'm barely a physicist, and I have the strongest overall strength in physics, followed by materials and nuclear technology, and with the gain in research progress, the speed of advancement should be about the same.

In addition, I will apply for an additional 2 billion yuan in the budget for the addition of 20 B+ engineers, so that we should not lack research strength. ”

"Then do it, and you can determine the candidate."

Lin Ju didn't dwell on this issue, Ye Changsi's ability here is completely overkill, and it is exaggerated to say that it is second only to Qian Lao.

"Our main focus now should be on strengthening the construction of space forces, how long will Ruiyun be?"

"Soon, 'Liuyun' has been offline and is outfitting the equipment, the progress of 'Ruiyun' has exceeded 90%, Liuyun will be able to carry out the first flight test in early February, and Ruiyun will be a month late, mainly because we have carried out more optimization."

Liuyun and Ruiyun are the two aerospace planes after Tengyun, the former is the Air Force, and the latter is for personal use, but they should both join the space construction.

"Hurry up, and by the way, ask the No. 4, 5, and 6 air forces how long they plan to do it and where they want to improve."

Ye Changsi: "Are you trying to ......?"

Lin Ju nodded: "The capacity of the aerospace aircraft is still a little small now, I asked Seryov a few days ago, and he said that the NPAE can be optimized and installed, and the 65-ton load can be put into low earth orbit with a total weight of 180 tons, and the regular version of H2 can be basically retired in addition to large cargo." ”

Ye Changsi: "Hmm...... Then we may have to convince the environmental protection agencies around the world first. ”

……

Seattle.

"There's no way the FAA can license this, never!"

FAA crews stand inside Boeing's Space Shuttle Renovation Plant, next to the Space Shuttle Endeavour.

He raised the Geiger counter in his hand and angrily pointed to the large box that was tightly wrapped in red cloth not far away.

"It's impossible for you to let them fly around on the space shuttle, it's contempt for the lives of the public!"

Christopher Douglas, head of Boeing for the FATS program and chief engineer for the retrofit program, stood to the side, his face stiff as a steel plate.

The FAA man in front of him is not simple, he is also a senator, and he relies on environmental protection and minorities to pull votes, which is why he is so vehemently opposed.

And the containers he objected to were none other than the first nuclear engine delivered by JFT, the NERVA A105.

Unlike the Storm, which required three A100s, one A105 can provide 37 tons of thrust, which is more than three A100s, but NACA will never admit that one A105 is even slightly heavier than three A100s, and that it is far inferior in terms of impact and power generation capacity.

Regardless, this is NACA's first state-of-the-art nuclear engine ready for practical use, and it is far more advanced than any conventional engine ever before.

Thanks to the generous allocation, JFT built 10 of its first batch of testing machines and conducted a total of more than 1,000 hours of brute force testing, resulting in the A105, which they believed met the delivery standards.

It just so happened that Boeing also spent more than half a year renovating the seriously outdated space shuttle, and everything was completely new inside and out, and now the engine can be sent over for its first flight at least two months ahead of schedule.

This required Christopher to complete the commissioning of the nuclear engine in three months, which was the first time NACA had built a serious large nuclear-powered spacecraft, which was not a lot of time.

And the behavior of this councillor obviously greatly affected his work, so he did not give a good face
