From black technology to super engineering

Chapter 347 When Can I Leave the Solar System

Ye Ming unscrewed the mineral water bottle and took a sip, then looked at the reporter named Linda with a smile.

He is very familiar with this reporter. According to Aita's summary information, when Paocheng was still in the wall, Miss Linda tended to report domestic news positively.

Now that Paocheng has bargained with the domestic market and obtained a lot of resources, Ms. Linda's report has become more enthusiastic.

I just don't know what question she will ask this time.

"Professor Ye Ming, hello, I am a reporter from Lianhe Zaobao. My question is, does CN Aerospace have a manned spaceflight program to land on Mars and explore deep space?"

Linda sat down immediately after asking, held the pen in her right hand, kept smiling, and stared at Ye Ming closely.

She knew that besides liking Zha Laomei, this genius scientist's biggest personality is to tell the truth, and he doesn't refuse reporters' questions, and he also has the habit of "being a good teacher".

Perhaps, all great scientists are like this, so that they can pursue the truth of the universe, right?

"Well, this question..." Ye Ming and Director Zhang looked at each other, and they both smiled at the same time.

"I can tell you, there must be. Because according to the navigation capabilities of the Yueyue, it can already sail to any planetary orbit area under the premise of ensuring safety and supply."

"But it's inconvenient for me to disclose the specific plan, because the current exploration spacecraft, we only have the Yueyue. Its more task is to complete the construction of the lunar base."

Ye Ming said with a smile: "Yueyue is about to enter a two-month inspection and maintenance period. We don't know many things, so if you really want to ask me the specific time, I can't answer it."

Linda pursed her lips and nodded vigorously.

"As for the deep space exploration plan, there must be one. For example, in the follow-up, we will have an asteroid landing plan, and an unknown object exploration plan, etc.—for the specific progress, please pay attention to our future press conferences."

"Any questions, please?"

Linda took a deep breath, quickly glanced at the notebook, and immediately raised her head and said, "Thank you, Professor Ye, may I ask whether the technology on the Yaoyue, such as the anti-gravity force field technology, will be used in other fields, such as international transportation and commuting. "

After speaking, she held her breath.

This question actually appeared in her notebook a long time ago, but... because of the high probability of being rejected, she chose another question.

Now that Ye Ming buys one and gets one free, she naturally proposed it.

When she raised this question, all the reporters present glanced at her, and then at Ye Ming.

——As early as two months ago, when the Yaoyue took off with an unreasonable attitude, the entire Internet was boiling, and it was almost concluded that the Yaoyue used anti-gravity technology.

So naturally, what anti-gravity technology can do is the focus of everyone's speculation.

For example, flying cars in the air, spaceships, and floating cities—these are theoretically achievable.

But Linda is more concerned about the freight system.

Because her country is currently in the golden position of shipping, if it is really necessary to use anti-gravity technology to replace the current ship shipping... that would be really wonderful.

After waiting for a while, Ye Ming's voice rose with a smile.

"All technologies are born for a better future for mankind, so they will definitely be used in all fields that everyone can think of. But now, we still have to give the world some time."

After hearing this, Linda didn't know why, she exhaled lightly.

"Thank you, Professor Ye."

"You're welcome, next one."

A day later, the leader personally participated in the joint meeting between Yaoyue and the command center.

At the meeting, the leaders listened to the mission report of the Yueyue, and then carefully listened to the report on building the first helium-3 commercial power plant on the moon-it has to be said that the report of several hundred pages is very important for the leader who is managing every day. The speech is indeed a bit too long, and the leader only glanced at the introduction briefly.

So the consequence of this is that the leader asked Ye Ming at the meeting with his mind full of questions.

For example, the construction and maintenance of the helium-3 power plant established on the moon, as well as the erection and maintenance of power transmission lines, etc.

Ye Ming answered them one by one.

In addition, the leaders also paid extra attention to the planning of the space city, saying that the space city is a miracle that truly demonstrates the technological capabilities of mankind.

This means that the leader has a clear mind.

So Ye Ming said that the construction of the space city is actually easier than the moon base, because the space city does not need to fight against gravity, so many structural designs can be simple and tricky, and it can be done directly by building blocks.

The only thing to worry about is the cost of design, construction and transportation.

But the question of cost is the least important one.

——The country keeps calling for cooperation, and this international space city is the best cooperation and unity project.

It is a beautiful thing that domestic technology is provided, countries willing to cooperate provide money, and then everyone goes to the stars and the sea together!
……

"By the way, the space elevator can be built, right?"

The leader raised his wrist to glance at the time, and while Ye Ming was drinking water, he asked with a smile.

"Cough..." Ye Ming almost choked on a mouthful of water.

Everyone in the meeting cheered at him.

The leader laughed loudly: "What? Too whimsical?"

"No, no." Ye Ming shook his head quickly, but kept muttering in his heart.

Hey guys, space elevators...

This thing appears many times in science fiction works, but its practical significance...

Unless human beings have completed population transfer construction in earth orbit, it will look like a Dyson sphere, which looks awesome but is actually not very useful.

"Building must be able to be built. As far as technology is concerned, it is nothing more than the flexible use of anti-gravity force fields, so that most of the gravity problems caused by materials and building bodies can be solved. But in terms of cost and practical significance, it is really not that big. ——Building a space elevator at this stage is not as good as opening a space-to-earth bus spacecraft.”

"Well, it makes sense." The leader nodded with a smile, then glanced at his watch again, and his eyes fell on Ye Ming again.

"Then when will human beings leave the solar system?"

Hearing this question, not only the leader, but everyone in the conference room looked at Ye Ming in unison.

Especially Director Niu, who was sitting opposite Ye Ming, had more meaningful eyes in his eyes.

Ye Ming took a light breath.

Behind this problem is actually faster and stronger.

If only planetary orbits are counted, it is easy to get out of the solar system.

But strictly speaking... if the Oort cloud is counted, then the diameter of the solar system will reach one light-year.

This is not the shore that human beings' current aircraft can reach.

After thinking for a long time, Ye Ming laughed.

"It depends on luck."

"If you're lucky, maybe it's possible in a few years. If it's not good... then maybe it's a bit pessimistic."

"Good luck, do you mean a black hole?"

"Yes."

Ye Ming glanced at Director Niu and replied.

He knew that for the leader to ask this question, it was obviously Lao Niu who revealed something to the leader.

"Well, if you are ready, let's try it." The leader waved his hand vigorously: "Then obviously a black hole is in front of us, we have to take a look!"

Ye Ming took a deep breath and nodded heavily.
