Chapter 645 Concessions and Expectations
Qinling, the second test base of the daily project.
At the end of another test, Ding Bijun personally led the team to the antenna array to prepare for the inspection.
He wears a blue hard hat and a gray jumpsuit, and looks more like an electrical worker than a professor in charge of the connection between heaven and earth.
Not only is the appearance similar, but the operation process and tools are also similar, although the tall antenna array is preset with steel corridors, many places still need to be checked with the help of a pole climber.
Unlike ordinary antennas, the maintenance of microwave receiving array antennas is actually more complicated.
As an open super microwave oven in principle, although most of the microwaves will be absorbed by the metal antenna array, there will also be a small amount of leakage, which cannot be ignored relative to the total amount.
Theoretically, all substances with polar molecules can be heated by microwaves, but they are not safe, for example, many stones in the soil of the antenna array do not absorb microwaves in theory, but because the stones may have metal components inside, they may explode after being heated.
The same principle may also cause accelerated aging and damage to the paint on the surface of the antenna array, or a small number of non-metallic parts.
Ding Bijun must find all kinds of hidden dangers, even if these are small problems now, but when the power continues to increase ten times, a hundred times, it may be a serious safety accident.
Xiong Cheng, the chief disciple, has also become dark and thin in the past year of shuttling through the deep mountains and old forests, but his spirit is good, which may be caused by frequent meals.
The day-by-day project has been carried out so far that there are 40 or 50 core personnel, and the peripheral technical personnel have exceeded 200.
Find an area for each short-term test, put the marinated chicken, duck or other food on it, and then calculate whether it can be heated to just right.
These days, Chiwu-3 has conducted a total of 9 transmission tests, a total of 4 of which have been "traditional", with neat rows of tin foil-wrapped things placed under the antenna, as if it were some kind of mysterious sacrifice.
In reality, however, it may also be true, and for a significant number of people, obtaining a large amount of electricity "out of thin air" is a miracle in itself.
However, the tradition of microwave barbecue will soon come to an end, and one of the purposes of Ding Biyun's thorough investigation is to prepare for the ultra-long transmission test.
The longest experiment was only 16 hours, and this time he plans to conduct a seven-day ultra-long transmission test.
Due to the existence of the yellow-red angle, satellites in synchronous orbit will always be exposed to sunlight most of the time, and only a few special event points will not receive sunlight for a maximum of 70 minutes a day.
Therefore, Ding Bijun formulated that the actual transmission time in every 24 hours is only about 22 hours and 30 minutes, and the free 90 minutes can be used for maintenance work.
This situation will not happen after the formal networking, the blank period is generally around the early morning, which is the trough of electricity consumption, and then the load can be temporarily sent to other power grids, and it can also be coordinated through multiple satellites.
Multiple space power stations can transmit microwaves between satellites, allowing satellites with plenty of sunlight to supply energy to dark areas.
However, the second option is the most convenient, in the long run, it is impossible for only Chengdu to need a space power station, the vast land area is enough to ensure that there is a space power station at any time to generate electricity, and then it can be flexibly distributed with each other.
So far, the day-by-day project can be said to be good, and the only thing that has left the team a little disappointed is the widespread use of microwave transmission in public places.
Even if you don't take into account the huge loss of large area coverage, it is impossible to make electric vehicles or mobile phones and computers in a certain area abandon the battery.
After conducting several animal tests, an unknown organization also sent volunteers to stay in the antenna array during low-power transmission, and found that the people in it had runny noses, itching, inexplicable irritability, headaches, memory loss and other phenomena according to the different amounts of radiation.
For those rabbits and monkeys that have been "sacrificed" by increasing the intensity of testing, some of them have nervous system disorders and loss of mobility, and even have serious consequences of inducing cancer.
These simple tests directly negate the prospect of large-area wireless power transmission, and even receiving stations can be expected to be strictly regulated, and operators are required to strengthen protection and regular inspections.
However, Xiong Cheng didn't feel anything, anyway, during this time, he was busy during the day and slept at night, and there was no anxiety at all.
"Chief Engineer Ding, Chief Engineer Ding!"
The people who were inspecting were interrupted by a voice, and Xiong Cheng looked back and saw that it was the military representative stationed here.
This position has been added since the launch of the Chiwu No. 1 project, but not many people know about the affairs between the military representative and the mentor, including Xiong Cheng himself.
"What's the matter?!"
Standing on the more than ten meters high maintenance trestle, Ding Biyun had to shout hard to communicate with him.
"I have to tell you in person, you come down!"
Ding Bijun didn't dare to slack off, and after a few minutes, he went down to the ground and walked to the side alone with him.
Military representative: "Mr. Ding, there was an instruction from above just now, asking you about the technical potential of the precise positioning system at the end of Chiwu No. 1, and go back and write a report."
In addition, if the terminal diffusion of the Chiwu-1 microwave is limited to ...... About 0.1 square meters, the application object is replaced by a supersonic aircraft, can it keep up? ”
Ding Biyun naturally knew about the wireless transmission test of the moving target of Chiwu-1, and he was also an important participant, so after listening to his words, he did not answer immediately, but frowned and asked:
"You mean to change microwaves to lasers, right?"
“……”
"Forget it, I can go back and give an analysis, but the question you asked...... If I want to say that it is not enough, the effective terminal coverage area of microwaves is now 80 square meters, and it is not easy to suddenly reduce it by two orders of magnitude.
It is a small problem to keep up with the moving speed of the aircraft, the ground moves hundreds of kilometers, and the launcher in the sky is only slightly deflected, not to mention the supersonic speed of the aircraft, the missiles can keep up, but the control system also has to improve the accuracy of an order of magnitude, and the main application of wireless power transmission is static accuracy, and the moving target needs to be redeveloped in two directions.
In addition, it is more appropriate for you to ask Xinyuan about this matter, this positioning system is also done by them, and they should have better technology. ”
"That is, it is very likely to be realized."
"It will definitely be achieved, you see, the Chiwu No. 1 set was originally designed for static targets, but we tried to track the aircraft, it's no problem below 800 kilometers per hour, it's only a matter of time before it's faster and more accurate."
"Chief Engineer Ding, I have a not very reliable inside information, you may want a new job."
"What's new...... Hmm, it's true, it's a project?! ”
……
Aoyama base.
As probably the most secrecy and technologically advanced research base among private enterprises, the usual atmosphere here is always quiet and busy.
But today it was completely different, with a dozen strange cars in army green and black driving in, and visitors coming down from them gathered in the largest warehouse that had been cleaned up.
In addition to the transferred Blazing Sun, there are some other strange things, such as the latest Type 99A main battle tank, disassembled wings and fuselage structures, the cut hull parts of the heaviest parts of large ships, backup satellites that failed to launch, and a harmless rabbit.
An opening was added to the wall of the warehouse directly opposite the Blazing Sun, and a cylindrical device approximately 4 meters in diameter was placed in front of it.
The function of the cylindrical device is to release a thick smoke composed of particles of various sizes and water vapor, and the body is also covered with dense water-cooled copper pipes, so as to greatly reduce the power through the scattering of the laser after it passes through the target.
If it really can't be stopped, there will be only air for several kilometers from this direction, and it is basically impossible to affect the area of human activity.
The reason why so many preparations have been made is to prove to the many visitors who come that lasers have evolved to epoch-making power.
They are now temporarily housed in another warehouse, eagerly awaiting the results of the experiment.
Judging from Lin Ju's observations, the decisions of these people are enough to affect the future direction of the world.
The laser laboratory, which is under deep pressure, keeps repeating the examination for fear of a little accident.
It doesn't matter if the laser cannon goes out, but the strong magnetic device inside the Blazing Sun is dangerous, and if it leaks, you can probably see the screwdriver flying and accelerating to the speed of sound, or the heavy steel twisting into twists and breaking out of thin air.
However, the probability of this situation is very small, and the most likely possibility of an accident is that the verification machine will be blown into a pile of fragments or simply forced to cut off the power.
"Kobayashi!"
Zhong Cheng entered the control room and found Lin Ju, who was supervising.
"The chief asked you to go over and ask something, and besides, can the test be carried out as scheduled?"
"I'll go when I'm done...... Ten minutes, ten minutes later, the damage test can be carried out. ”
The two quickly left the control room one after another, leaving only Zhao Xiaowen and Ye Changsi here.
"Ha, we're going to have big business right away."
Ye Changsi muttered, the use of the Blazing Sun had always been planned by him, and now it seemed to be working well.
The main reason is that the breakthrough speed of plasma mirror technology is faster than expected, not only because of the complete information and a large amount of investment, but also because of the more than 100 elite scientists who have been wiped out at that time.
Their presence has greatly accelerated the research process, which has advanced the success milestone by half a year, and with the addition of 7 new A-level and A+ scientists, this progress has been smoother.
Plasma specular reflection technology has rapidly risen to a very high level, and the power requirements of the light source can be greatly reduced at the same power.
His plan is based on the Qianjun Bang-1 and the technical level of the Blazing Sun, and combines a laser satellite that surpasses the Qianjun-1 laser satellite, so as to extract huge funds from national defense.
The Qianjun Bang-3 is also carried out in the name of a smelting satellite, and it is expected that the "Xuyang" used for lunar smelting is the Qianjun Bang-3.
Although the mass has been reduced by two-thirds to 40 tons, and the power of the light source has also been reduced to one-eighth to 2.5 megawatts, thanks to the plasma mirror technology, the actual performance is comparable to the original scheme of Qianjun Bar No. 3, which is more than 100 tons.
When the time comes, it only needs to strengthen the maneuver, and the Rising Sun will be able to move between the moon and the earth, smelt ore, and maintain peace.
"Rising Sun", that is, the third level of Qianjun Rod, has been able to fully meet the near-ground defense, but the Qianjun Stick series is still not over.
The base has not forgotten about the alien threat and is trying to develop the Qianjun Bar 5 with a light source power of 30 megawatts and a magnification of 1,000 times.
A weapon of this level only has a single boot time of 0.01 seconds, and it requires supercapacitor energy storage and discharge, but as long as it is a physical substance existing in the solar system, it cannot withstand a terrorist attack of this order of magnitude.
The mass of Qianjun Bar 5 definitely starts at 200 tons, and it should eventually be hung on the Qianjian.
However, at that time, the information of the aliens was estimated to be hidden, so confidentiality should not be considered.
"Brother Ye, how many times are you going to knock it down this time?"
The inspection work has been completed, Zhao Xiaowen personally set the output parameters, and asked curiously.
"How much?"
Ye Changsi's hands made an accordion movement on his chest:
"The value of laser satellites cannot be measured in money! Moreover, it is not a single satellite, it needs the support of a large number of supporting reconnaissance and communication satellites, and it is a complex system engineering.
It is an important weapon of the country more important than an aircraft carrier, and it is not too much to add 100 billion yuan of supporting projects.
Even if we have a full set of technology, we have invested almost 15 billion yuan in the research and development of the 'trampoline', and it will take at least 10 years for the processing equipment of the strong magnetic restraint device to appear, and we have developed a new superconducting material, and we have also broken through the scientific theory that can write a book.
The Blazing Sun is the future that we have caught! ”
Because of the need for multiple reflections, the plasma mirror technology is aptly called "trampoline", but this is an extremely expensive trampoline.
Zhao Xiaowen, who was still a little apprehensive, finally calmed down, nodded in agreement, looked at the time, picked up the intercom and shouted:
"Five minutes to prepare! All unrelated personnel are to leave the site immediately, and no metal objects are to be left in the testing area! ”
In the test warehouse, a main battle tank that was supposed to be returned to the factory for repair was aimed at the firing end of the Blazing Sun, just right to hit the turret at a height, and several pieces of tungsten steel armor were temporarily welded to the outside because it was too bulky to be mass-produced.
Behind it, a barrel-shaped scattering device already filled with billowing white smoke.
On the current battlefield, it is basically impossible for a tank gun or anti-tank missile to penetrate such a defense.
"Energized ready, parameter 2000! 10, 9, 8...... Three, two, one!! ”
The countdown went to zero, and the dim warehouse, which had turned off all lights, was suddenly covered in a blue glow, and the Blazing Sun stopped firing after only 2 seconds.
There was a dull crash as the warehouse returned to darkness, but what was striking was that the scattered smoke began to glow with a demonic faint blue light, and the particles and gases inside had been lifted to an excited state by the laser.
The turret of the main battle tank had melted away from the middle, and the tall barrel had been greatly deformed and drooped weakly, and the fracture emitted a dark red shimmer.
In the observation room, everyone was silent.
Only Lin Ju muttered dissatisfiedly:
"It's still conservative, setting 1000 milliseconds should be enough, maybe 800 is fine."
The fate of the next aircraft and battleship structural parts is also obvious, and the wings dominated by aluminum alloy are ignited by the high temperature after the high temperature breakdown, burning to the skeleton.
Aircraft are the easiest to destroy in the sea, land and air, there is no need to burn a big hole, and the fragile metal skin is easy to deform due to high temperatures, leaving the best fate for pilots is to parachute.
The remaining satellites and in vivo testing were the most brutal, the former was already smaller, and then only a small pile of wreckage remained.
The poor rabbit was left with only half of its charred body, and the rest of it was only a pile of carbon slag, and even its head twitched for a while after the fire.
From an experimental point of view, the test was a perfect success.
But for the onlooker, it has an unprecedented visual impact, and it takes a lot of time to calm down.
"The golden monkey rose up with a thousand sticks, and Yuyu clarified thousands of miles."
It wasn't until half an hour later that someone read a poem with emotion.
"With this thing, our space will be clear, I think the laser satellite program is called the Qianjun rod series, right?"
Lin Ju: "......"
"Leader, in fact, 'dead light' is better."
"Xiaolin, you don't know, in the past, when Academician Qian was here, there were space fighter spacecraft, which were called Qianjun Bang No. 1 and No. 2, which is a historical inheritance.
Although the laser is so light that it has no mass, it weighs more than a thousand pounds like a golden hoop rod, and it is the Dinghai Divine Needle of the Dragon Palace!
We must vigorously promote this project, and we must let Qianjunbang No. 1 protect the sky as soon as possible, and my trip is worth it. ”
These words were reasonable, so that Lin Ju could only think about whether to change the name of his Qianjun stick to Death.
But in addition to this surprise, the reaction to the laser satellite is very expected, just look at the eyes that shimmer with strange light.
There is light in his eyes...... Laser!
But what made him even more excited was that the superior continued:
"The budget of the Qianjun rod project is to be determined, but it should be contracted independently by Xinyuan Company, and it is fully responsible, all for the delivery of qualified finished products as soon as possible, and other difficulties cannot interfere with the Qianjun rod project, and you-"
A finger pointed at Lin Ju accurately:
"Xiao Lin is personally responsible for the general supervision, and if there are problems, you can communicate at any time, and difficulties must be raised."
These words can be said to be quite straightforward, which made Lin Ju's eyes widen, which almost clearly said:
First cut and then played, the imperial power is licensed, this is the West Factory...... Ah no, this is the military-industrial complex!
"This ...... I ......"
Before he could continue to speak, he heard his superior say in a voice of concern:
"Your personal safety is very important, I was tired some time ago, and I will go to the capital to check it in a few days.
Comrade Lin Ju, if you are healthy forever, you can always contribute to the world and mankind! ”
