Minke's black technology

Chapter 214 Academician Ma's Plan
Li Maoye didn't know that someone had used his influence to get a large sum of money from the Bald Eagle Congress.

Now he is attending the inauguration ceremony of the new building in the high-tech industrial park on Shahe West Road. This is the new office building of Meow Star Technology Company. After more than two years, it was finally built.

The total area of ​​the entire building complex is about 8 square meters, with a total investment of more than 13 billion, covering an area of ​​more than 2 square meters. The surrounding commercial atmosphere is not very active, and it is far away from Dachong and Kexing Science Park. relatively remote place.

Originally, the Pengcheng government wanted to give Meowstar Technology a piece of land near Keyuan Road, but the area of ​​the land was relatively small, only a few thousand square meters, and it was enough to build a building, but it was not conducive to the company's future expansion.

After discussions with the senior management of Meowstar Technology, Li Maoye finally made a decision. They asked the government for a relatively remote but very large land to build a building.

Due to the large land area, the construction had to be divided into three phases, and several R&D buildings had to be built in the first phase alone.

Now the first phase of five buildings is built, and three corridors are connected in an arc to form a wide courtyard space, which not only increases the use of office space, but also ensures the design of the green environment.

Looking down from the air, you will find that the entire building complex is shaped like a cat's claw pattern.

At the bottom is a main building, surrounded by three arc-shaped corridors, forming the palm of the cat's claw, with a wide courtyard in the middle, and four auxiliary buildings were built around the corridors outside the courtyard. Their oval roofs resemble a cat's four little fingers.

At the inauguration ceremony, many leaders of Meow Star Company attended.

After ribbon-cutting, signing in, giving speeches and many other steps, the Meow Star Building was finally put into use, and Li Maoye was finally liberated, and brought Assistant Xie to his personal office.

As soon as he entered the door, Li Maoye immediately relaxed and lay down on the sofa, intending to take a breath before talking. The occasion just now was more tiring than running ten CVI systems.

"President Li, there is an important meeting to meet with President Zhou later." Xie Linger quickly reminded.

"Okay, let him wait for me first!" Li Maoye replied weakly.

Although most of the work was done by Zhou Lin and others just now, Li Maoye just stood on the stage and watched, but for him, this kind of dealing with people is really uncomfortable, and he can't wait to set up a time accelerator. Let others sprint through the ritual twice as fast.

"But that thing seems to be prone to problems?"

Li Maoye thought about it for a while, and felt that with the current level of earth science and technology, even if he could use the CVI system to 100% efficiency, it would take hundreds of years before he could manufacture the time controller.

Moreover, playing with time will cause the timeline to split, and there will be countless possibilities at that time, and it may even put the entire universe in a state of quantum time uncertainty.

"Forget it, I can't figure it out anyway!" Li Maoye jumped up from the sofa.

The strengthened body didn't actually feel tired, but mentally. After a few minutes of adjustment, he quickly returned to his usual energetic appearance.

Following Assistant Xie to the reception room, there were already two people sitting there, one of whom was the company CEO Zhou Lin, and the other was an old man in a white navy suit.

After the introduction, Li Maoye knew that in front of him was the well-known Academician Ma in China. He came here today to talk about how the electromagnetic gun is planned and used.

Since the things they were talking about were quite confidential, even Assistant Xie could only wait outside, leaving only the three of them inside.

"It's like this..."

Zhou Lin first explained that not long after he finished chatting with Musk, Academician Ma took the initiative to come to talk about the launch of satellites by electromagnetic guns. After many communications and technical verifications, both parties felt that this plan was very feasible.

"After obtaining the materials from the Meow Lab, we found that the bottleneck of the original electromagnetic gun technology has been broken!" Academician Ma said excitedly.

A few years ago, he wrote a thesis on the use of electromagnetic guns to launch satellites.

At that time, he believed that electromagnetic launch had many advantages. It could launch satellites and deliver materials into space at a very fast speed. More importantly, the cost was very low, which could effectively increase the ability of florists to transport materials into space.

At that time, he was engaged in related research work as the head of the relevant department, and he expected to succeed in 2020. As a result, he encountered many technical difficulties in practice, which caused the plan to be postponed repeatedly.

Academician Ma encountered three main technical problems at that time.

First of all, launching satellites at high speed can easily cause fatal damage to the orbit. This is also the reason why the life of the electromagnetic gun tube is not long, so the material needs to have sufficient strength and rigidity to withstand strong currents and shocks.

Secondly, the technical bottleneck of high-power pulse power supply, before the polyammonia molecular capacitor came out, it was unable to provide enough energy for the launching device to achieve such a high-power pulse, so that the speed of the electromagnetic gun has been unable to break through.

Finally, it is hindered by the friction of the atmosphere. If the initial velocity is too high, it is easy to heat up due to friction with the air, and even cause damage. If the initial velocity is too slow, it is likely to slow down the satellite during flight, so that it cannot reach the predetermined track.

"Now these problems are no longer a problem!" Academician Ma slapped the table and emphasized: "I am sure that I will build a super electromagnetic orbital cannon, and then use it to launch satellites into space and transport materials to our space station. !"

Hearing this, Li Maoye already understood Zhou Lin's thoughts.

Meowstar Technology Company does not need to cooperate with Huayao or SpaceX, and can rely on its own strength to realize a plan similar to the Starlink system. As long as Meowstar Technology can manufacture this super electromagnetic cannon, the initiative will be firmly in the hands of In your own hands, you can launch satellites to whomever you want.

Of course, if private companies want to build civilian electromagnetic guns, they still have to get the government's approval.

That's why Zhou Lin chose to cooperate with Academician Ma, through the cooperation of Meow Star and Rabbit Academy of Sciences, to create a unique electromagnetic gun space transportation system in the world. As long as the design complies with relevant regulations, the government should give the green light all the way.

"So do you have a detailed plan?" Li Maoye asked.

As soon as Zhou Lin heard this, he knew that Mr. Li approved of his approach, so he quickly took out the first draft of the plan that had been discussed and confirmed in the past few days.

"Well, the plan is divided into three phases. In the first phase, satellites will be launched first, and then the orbit of the electromagnetic gun will continue to be expanded... When the second phase is completed, it can be used to transport materials to the space station and even the moon base..."

Li Maoye took a closer look at the plan in his hand, and soon found that the problem appeared in the third issue. Zhou Lin and Academician Ma wanted to realize the orbit of the electromagnetic gun and finally be able to launch a spacecraft into space!

This is indeed a very grand plan, with great courage and ideas!
But if you want to manufacture a spacecraft that can launch a spacecraft, you have to consider the limit acceleration that the pilot in the spacecraft can withstand. According to normal human physical fitness, it can usually withstand an acceleration of 10 G.

If you want the spacecraft to reach 7.9KM/S, it will take at least 10 seconds to calculate at 80.6G, and in less than a minute and a half, the spacecraft will travel 318 kilometers!

This also means that the orbit of the electromagnetic gun has to be made more than 300 kilometers long, so the launch starts from Jinling, and then runs all the way to Shanghai to take off.

Such a long distance, even if it can be realized, the cost will be terrible!
When Li Maoye expressed his doubts, Academician Ma said that the orbit of the third phase will be a super large circle, and then let the spacecraft accelerate to a certain degree in this circular orbit, and then let it pass through the first two phases. The built orbit is launched.

"It's like when an Olympic athlete throws a hammer, he first grabs the rope with both hands and turns around, and then throws it when it reaches the maximum speed!" Academician Ma said with gestures with his hands.

"It can indeed be done!" After being reminded, Li Maoye immediately used the CVI system to deduce it, and found that Academician Ma's method of throwing the hammer was feasible.

As long as the circular orbit made is large enough, and then a centripetal force is added through the outer orbit when turning around, it is enough to keep the spacecraft running on the orbit until it reaches the required speed before launching.

However, he thinks that the third phase of the project is unnecessary, the construction cost is too high, and it is very difficult to implement, and there will be many technical problems to be solved.

Sure enough, Academician Ma quickly said: "The third phase is the most difficult part of the whole project. We have to solve the problem of how the centripetal force is generated, and the pressure that the track material bears when providing the centripetal force, etc."

"There is also the problem of the sound barrier. Just imagine a supersonic object that keeps circling in the same place, and the sound barrier will cause huge damage to the surrounding things!" Zhou Lin added.

If you switch to an electromagnetic railgun and shoot directly into the sky, the impact of these problems will be relatively small, but if you want to limit it to a large circle orbit, there are indeed many problems that need to be solved.

"So, we thought..."

Zhou Lin and Academician Ma looked at Li Maoye with expectant eyes, as if he was the legendary Doraemon. With a few strokes in front of his belly, he could come up with a black technology prop that perfectly solved the problem.

Li Maoye quickly raised his hand to stop it: "No, you don't think about anything!"

"But..." Zhou Lin was in a hurry and wanted to explain.

Immediately, Li Maoye interrupted again: "It's nothing, you really don't want to think about anything!"

After a pause, he explained: "I have seen your plan timetable, the third phase will take at least ten years to complete, if we really have to wait until then, I am afraid we will have the ability to fly directly to outer space, How can there be an electromagnetic railgun to launch it!"

After the two people in front of them were rejected, they were disappointed at first, and then excited by the words behind them.

"Li, Mr. Li! Are you saying that we will launch spaceships into space within ten years?" Zhou Lin asked quickly.

Academician Ma also looked at him with a very hot gaze, as if he had met a peerless beauty, which made Li Maoye feel a little embarrassed.

"Ahem!" Li Maoye replied affirmatively, "That's right, after all, our journey is a sea of ​​stars!"
