Chapter 644: Ghost Voyage
High energy physics is a research field with great differences in directions but a high degree of integration.
A high-energy physicist may have made great achievements in laser physics, quantum physics, nuclear physics, microscience, etc., and their research tools and environments are highly versatile, and they need to rely on each other's research to move forward.
So Zhao Xiaowen knew what Lu Qiu meant after thinking about it slightly, he was hinting at electromagnetic force control technology.
In fact, he also deeply understands that although the technical data of the laser smelting satellite contains relevant technologies, the technology applied to the "Blazing Sun" is also the technology in the "Chiren" and "C172A" metallic hydrogen batteries, and the latter two also apply microscopic strong electromagnetic force control on a large scale.
According to the current world's mainstream tokamak device thinking, such a powerful and precise electromagnetic restraint device is very much needed, unlike the weak force restraint used in the future world line "laser inertial restraint" obtained by the base before.
However, in Zhao Xiaowen's view, this is a good thing, which means that the base may be deeply involved in the EAST program, and even if the tokamak does not work in the end, it can provide a lot of experimental data for the laser inertial confinement fusion selected by the base.
Reaching out to EAST has always been one of the dreams of the base's higher-ups.
Zhao and Lu took advantage of the situation to communicate, and the two colleagues had the idea of inquiring about more news, and they chatted happily for a while.
However, Lin Ju's side finally calmed down and reached a consensus, and Zhong Cheng and the three officers unified their opinions.
They want to organize more complete destruction experiments as soon as possible, and have come up with a technology that can provide fairly accurate guidance, combined with the "Blazing Sun" to test strikes against aircraft and satellites.
At the same time, the military learned that the budget of the base was tight under the evidence of Zhong Cheng, and immediately proposed that 500 million yuan could be invested immediately.
They will internally set up a large-scale military laser project, and designate Xinyuan as a contractor to promote the research of various lasers according to the method of weapons bidding.
Although it still needs to be discussed at the top level before the project is established, and it will take a little time to determine, the emergency provision of 500 million yuan can be received in advance.
And Xinyuan has no problem undertaking this project, they have long participated in several top-secret military programs, and all kinds of licenses and qualifications are complete.
……
Except for Zhong Cheng and Lu Qiu, who stayed behind as a liaison officer, the others took a technical briefing and flew away in a hurry, rushing back to the evening meeting.
At the strong request of the officers, the warehouse where the "Blazing Sun" was located was closed and sealed, and 10 backbone guards were transferred from the adjacent guard base, so he left with confidence.
Lin Ju couldn't help but complain when he looked at this scene:
"I'm the CEO of a private company, more like the director of an arsenal, and there are garrisons next to me to protect me."
However, he only said a few words, which was to be expected.
The original plan of the base was to wait for the "Blazing Sun" to be fully developed and then made public when the launch was completed in May or June, but after considering it, many parties decided to notify it now, so as not to cause any overreaction.
But it seems that there are still many people who will stay up all night, and it is unlikely that it will be a big change in strategy.
Zhong Cheng, who had been holding back for a long time, finally had a chance to relax at this time, and his burden also included the Space Force, and a breakthrough in a new technology also brought great variables:
"Xiaolin, you not only want to squeeze out our aerospace funds, but also squeeze out military spending.
Counting the 909 project, the expenditure in 16 years will exceed one trillion, don't you want to run for two trillion yuan?
I don't remember wrong, Guan Laser was a university professor before, why did anyone come to you like taking medicine, and the results were the same as not asking for money? ”
"This ...... There are really pills, 314 injections and 504 injections are good things, you want me to send you a few. ”
“……”
Zhong Cheng shook his head, just complained with a sad face, and even rarely burst into foul language:
"Fuck it, why do I feel like troubled times are coming?"
……
February 11, Futaba-gun.
Forty days have passed since the last hydrogen bomb exploded, but the "rescue teams" of various countries in the control area have not withdrawn and continue to carry out the two-month post-explosion disaster prevention and power detection mission.
The job of one of the front-line personnel is to drive an armored vehicle or an airplane, pass through the explosion center area to measure the level of radioactive dust in the air, and record the value of the Geiger counter.
The explosion of the third hydrogen bomb caused 22 consecutive earthquakes, but the highest one was only 5.2 magnitude, and although it did not cause significant damage to people and property, the tsunami caused completely destroyed the original site of the Toshima power station.
Looking down from the aerial map, there is only a ruined circular harbor, the walls smooth as if they had been artificially repaired, and the deep blue water and the shiny green parabola are surprisingly beautiful.
According to frequent IAEA detections, it was confirmed that the radiation level was reduced to less than half of the peak 24 hours after the explosion, to one-tenth after 72 hours, and seven days later to be able to carry out human activities except within a 3-kilometer radius of the explosion center.
By now, the level of radiation in the air has been greatly reduced, and at least 98% of the nuclear material in both cores has been fully reacted through the measurement of pollutants, and the clean-up effect is very good from this point of view.
Tian Zhan continued to faithfully perform his duties, and according to the plan, he would be transferred back to China in 15 days.
It's not that he is not needed, but that the personnel who have been close to radiation for a long time have to take turns off, and in fact, most of the members of the rescue team have been replaced once.
After completing the recording and sending back the data, he returned to the air command room at his home station, carrying out an order from home:
A Pterodactyl 5 drone is heading south along the coastline after crossing the Tsugaru Strait, and rescue teams stationed around Toshima are required to provide guidance services until they leave the island's airspace.
This is a very ordinary task, the maximum take-off mass of the Pterodactyl 5 does not exceed 5 tons, it is powered by a piston aero engine, the cruising speed is about 300 kilometers, and the maximum range is more than 10,000 kilometers.
According to this route, eighty percent of them are carrying out hydrological monitoring or daily patrols, right?
The operator of the Empty Finger Center immediately carried out the order, but after a few moments, there was a soft "huh".
"What's wrong?"
"No, let me see ...... again"
The operator looked at it for a moment, and then said with some uncertainty:
"The signal of YL403A seems to be unstable, and the data is transmitted too little but it is reported normally...... Also, the radar signature is much larger. ”
"Then you can make sure again, if there is an abnormality, I will report it immediately."
"Yes!"
Neither of them attracted much attention, and more than two hundred kilometers away, the Pterodactyl-5, flying close to the air defense identification zone, also looked completely different from normal.
It has a high bulge added to its back, while the tail engine doesn't quite sound right, except for the noise of the paddles, the engine sounds like an electric motor.
It swaggered south, but it didn't make a circle and return as Tian Zhan and the operator had thought.
In fact, it takes off from the hinterland of the interior, first circumnavigating almost the entire southern region before coming out of the East China Sea, and is performing a flight around the island, after which it will continue eastward to the central Pacific Ocean, visit Hawaii and then south to Samoa, and then continue cruising in Southeast Asia.
The flight was planned to last for 168 hours, or seven days, and is now only a quarter.
Its own battery is only enough to fly for two hours, but in the synchronous orbit above its head, Chiwu-1 is slightly adjusting the inclination of the microwave emitter, providing a steady stream of energy from space.
The Chiwu-1, which is in synchronous orbit, does not receive sunlight for only 71 minutes a day, and the rest of the time can provide sufficient power for the specially modified Pterodactyl-5.
After the Chiwu No. 3 was put into use, the original Chiwu No. 1 was also changed to a professional and began to study the wireless function for aircraft and ships.
From Hawaii in the east, Baikonur in the west, Sakhalin in the north, and New Zealand in the south, it can provide 100 to 150 kilowatts of power to drones in nearly one-third of the world, which is enough to meet the needs of flight.
In this area, the Pterodactyl-5 can perform unlimited tasks like a ghost as long as there are no mechanical failures;
If there are three Chiwu No. 1 networks, then it can appear in major regions on all continents.
Compared to the arrogant Snow Hoof, the microwave-powered Pterodactyl-5 is barely noticeable, but in a sense more deadly.
The only thing that limits its play is the serious interference of microwave power with electronic equipment, and until this problem is solved, the flying platform will not be larger than the Pterodactyl-5.
