From University Lecturer to Chief Academician

Chapter 548 There is hope for our light pressure engine!

It is expected that the strength of the annihilation field is not directly proportional to the upper limit of the speed of light.

From the perspective of the structure of photons, what provides the speed is the 'light tail' of the two-point five-dimensional topology, and the role of the 'core' is to stabilize the structure of the photon.

Increasing the strength of the annihilation force field will increase the speed of the 'Light Tail', but the upper limit of the overall speed will not be directly proportional to the strength of the force field.

From the perspective of experimental data, when the antigravity field intensity approaches 0 infinitely, the speed of light does not approach zero, but approaches half the speed of light.

As the annihilation field strength increases, it is naturally impossible to double the upper limit of the speed of light.

Wang Hao had expected this.

The problem is that in order to create strong enough light pressure to propel the space carrier to sail quickly, it is necessary to create a high temperature of more than 50,000 degrees Celsius.

It is impossible to have materials that can withstand a high temperature of 50,000 degrees Celsius, not to mention 50,000 degrees Celsius, even 10,000 degrees Celsius, so other aspects are needed to make up for it.

For example, the upper limit of the speed of light can be greatly increased.

At the same time, the strength of the annihilation force field cannot be increased significantly. Increased strength means that the need to reach the 'energy carrying limit' will become higher.

For example, a violent reaction of 10,000 degrees Celsius needs to continue to explode in order for the annihilation force field to reach the upper limit of the energy it can carry.

This is the paradox.

Wang Hao and Paul Phil-Jones discussed for a long time, and then said, "Under normal circumstances, the temperature is lower than 50,000 degrees Celsius. Theoretically, light pressure can also be created, but the thrust provided will decrease by a power level."

"Actually, our demand for manufacturing space carriers is not that high."

He continued, "Now we are discussing the construction of an aerospace carrier and the power issues of the aerospace carrier, all in the hope that it can achieve ultra-high-speed interstellar travel..."

"The minimum standard for interstellar travel is to allow the speed of the ship to be infinitely close to the speed of light."

"But in fact, we don't have this need in a short period of time. It would be great if the space carrier we built can realize travel within the solar system."

"So for power issues, we can also supplement Hall thrusters or other propulsion methods."

Wang Hao is comforting Paul Phil Jones.

What he said is also true.

If a space carrier can be built with self-sufficient energy, there is really no need for the ship to achieve interstellar travel. It would be great to be able to travel within the solar system.

Even if the ideal light pressure engine cannot be manufactured, it can be supplemented with Hall thrusters or other propulsion methods.

Paul Phil-Jones was still a little depressed. He shook his head and said, "Light pressure propulsion is the most suitable. Hall propulsion... is simply too weak!"

“That’s not cool at all~~~”

Ding Zhiqiang also nodded, he recognized what Paul Phil Jones said.

That is a space carrier with unlimited energy, using the Hall propulsion method as slow as an ox, and a high-speed rail train with a sense of technology. What is the difference between using a steam engine to propel it?

The results of measuring the speed of light are not ideal, and they are only relative to the study of the 'light pressure engine'.

The people in the optics team are still very excited. They have accurately measured the speed of light in the strong annihilation force field. They also look forward to measuring the speed of light in other field strengths so that they can make a 'light speed curve' to describe the relationship between the strength of the annihilation force field and the speed of light. .

This research is indeed important.

Wang Hao and Xu Hua discussed it and agreed that they would send a three-person team to work in the annihilation force field experimental team.

They can do a lot of experiments there.

At the same time, the annihilation particle experiment also made a series of progress. They continued the experiment without any pause in the middle.

Everyone who participated in the research was very motivated, and the experimental group showed very high work efficiency.

For other experimental groups, a small-scale research can be carried out for several years. If an experiment is prepared for a long time and a small discovery is made, it can be considered a success.

The annihilation particle experiment was conducted twice a week. Each experiment provided a large amount of data, and the subsequent analysis was quickly completed, and various small discoveries were made during the period.

Wang Hao’s projects have always been like this.

His personal work efficiency is very high. He spends very little time leading the team to do research. The preliminary research is not very long. The people involved are also very stressed. They just do repetitive experiments and change the values ​​​​midway. Record data after the experiment.

If such research is delayed any longer, there will be no way to explain it.

Pressure is motivation.

The benefit of high work efficiency is that experimental data are constantly and rapidly accumulated, providing more data support for the annihilation particle phenomenon, providing a very strong foundation for subsequent technical research and application.

On the way back to the West Sea, Wang Hao heard another good news. The Annihilation Force Field Experiment Team had made a breakthrough in its magnetization power generation technology project.

Then he decided to change his itinerary, "I won't go back now, I will go to the annihilation force field experimental team."

"Go to the experimental group?"

"Why?"

Several people in the research team were a little confused.

Wang Hao briefly explained.

Paul Phil-Jones immediately expressed no interest, "It's just a power generation technology, even if it is related to the annihilation force field, there are too many similar discoveries."

He added, "I only care about the light pressure engine."

"Paul, you can go back first, I still have to go take a look." Wang Hao said nonchalantly, then looked at Ding Zhiqiang and said, "Xiao Ding, you can go with me, everyone else should go back first."

Ding Zhiqiang immediately grimaced.

He originally planned to go back to Xihua University to 'cultivate' for a while after working continuously for a long time and following Wang Hao everywhere.

As a result, I had to go on a ‘business trip’ again halfway through.

Wang Hao explained to Ding Zhiqiang, "You also come with me to see it. This new way of generating electricity is very important. When we study annihilation particle technology, we must convert the pure light energy produced into electrical energy."

"Ordinary photoelectric conversion, such as solar cell technology, has high conversion efficiency, but the upper limit is too low and cannot withstand high temperatures of hundreds or thousands of degrees Celsius."

"The conversion efficiency of steam power generation is not low, but the power generation process is too complicated."

"If you are building an aerospace carrier, there will be a lot of space reserved inside for steam power generation. What is the difference between such an aerospace carrier and a bulky aircraft carrier? It can only fly, but it has completely lost its efficiency and flexibility."

After he finished speaking, Ding Zhiqiang nodded symbolically to show that he heard and understood.

Paul Phil-Jones raised his hand vigorously and said seriously, "I want to go too! How can such research be without me, Vice Captain Paul Phil-Jones!"

Several people laughed out loud immediately.

With the support of the scientific research department, the Annihilation Force Field Experimental Team established the 'Light Energy Magnetization Power Generation Technology' research group. Participants included Wang Shanqing, who discovered the phenomenon of light energy magnetization potential difference, the electric power team in the experiment, and more than a dozen people sent by superiors. An electromagnetic expert and an electric power expert.

The 'Light Energy Magnetization Power Generation Technology' research team is studying a brand-new power generation technology, and the experimental requirements are also very high. They need two strong annihilation force field equipment of different strengths.

When one side of a metal conductor has high magnetization and the other side has low magnetization, coupled with strong light exposure, a potential difference will form on both sides of the conductor, and an external connection will generate a current.

After Wang Hao arrived at the experimental base, Wang Shanqing introduced the research progress, "We found that every material can produce this potential difference, and the potential difference of conductive materials is stronger and more obvious."

"In addition, the intensity of the current produced is related to the properties of the material. Relevant conditions include light absorption, heat absorption properties, magnetization reaction intensity and conductive properties."

"We have experimented with more than a dozen materials and found that metals with high magnetization reaction intensity have higher light energy conversion efficiency, but iron and copper cannot. We analyzed the reason and believe that it may be that iron and copper have low step-up magnification, which produces critical 'Special phenomena' will affect the conversion of light energy."

"Three days ago, we experimented with a new type of material, titanium-silver alloy."

"The light energy conversion efficiency of this material is very high. The conversion rate in the experiment is about 15% to 20%. However, in the experiment, another important factor that affects the conversion rate is temperature. An increase in the temperature of the conductor will cause resistance. If the conversion rate rises, we must control the temperature below two hundred degrees Celsius in order to have a higher conversion rate, otherwise it will be greatly reduced..."

The research team conducted experiments using titanium-silver alloys, which was the result of demonstration after finding certain rules.

Titanium element has high magnetization reaction intensity, high force field intensity required for step-up transformation, and good heat absorption properties, while silver element has high electrical conductivity.

An alloy composed of two elements naturally has a good light-to-electricity effect.

After listening to the entire content, Wang Hao first affirmed their research and casually made a small suggestion, "You can expand the cross-sectional area of ​​the material that is exposed to light energy, and use coolant on the outer layer for continuous cooling, and then go to the experiment Look at the effect.”

"According to the current data, if we design a complete device, the photoelectric conversion efficiency may exceed 25%, or even more than 30%."

"This method of power generation combined with steam power generation can greatly improve the conversion efficiency of light energy. Of course...it's nothing..."

Wang Hao said and shook his head.

After possessing the annihilation particle technology, their priority for power generation is 'simple power generation method' and 'high power generation limit', rather than 'high power generation efficiency'.

Because a large amount of light energy can be produced, "high power generation limit" is very important.

For example, it can generate electricity at high temperatures of several thousand degrees Celsius, or it can still achieve photoelectric conversion under high-intensity light energy in a small range.

etc.

These are the most important.

If annihilation particle technology is only used for conventional discoveries, the titanium-silver alloy discovered by the research team will be enough, but it is still unrealistic to use it for power conversion on space carriers.

The problem is that the titanium-silver alloy material needs to be placed inside the annihilation particle field force, so the temperature of the material cannot be maintained below two hundred degrees Celsius.

If a large amount of light energy is produced, the temperature can easily exceed one thousand degrees Celsius.

This power generation technology instantly lost its meaning.

After Wang Hao learned about the research progress, he discussed it with others and set the next experimental goal, "try to find a material that can conduct photoelectric conversion experiments at one thousand degrees Celsius."

"The efficiency does not need to be too high, even if the conversion rate is only 5 points, it is acceptable. What we need is strong temperature adaptability and a high upper limit of photoelectric conversion."

Afterwards, they left the experimental base.

On the way back to Xihai, Paul Phil-Jones shrugged his head, obviously very depressed. He said to Wang Hao, "This technology sounds really powerful, but it just adds a means of generating electricity."

"We already have nuclear fusion, and using annihilation particle technology to generate electricity... is such a waste."

Others feel the same way.

At this stage, annihilation particle technology can be called "future technology", and it feels like a technology that is hundreds of years beyond existing technology.

If you build a large power station around annihilation particle technology, it will feel like fishing with nuclear weapons, which may even sound ridiculous.

Wang Hao smiled and said, "Even if it is researched and the technology is perfected, it cannot be used to build power stations in a short time. At this stage, it is only used as a high-end technology reserve, and the main direction is to use it to research higher-end technologies. "

Paul Phil-Jones shook his head and said, "In short, this technology will not be used for the time being."

Wang Haodao, "It is not used for the time being, but what if there is another breakthrough in technology? For example, if it can achieve power generation in high-temperature environments above one thousand degrees Celsius, that would be meaningful."

"Right……"

A group of people discussed for a while, and the topic turned to the space carrier.

Paul Phil-Jones and Helen talked about the naming issue of the space carrier. Chen Mengmeng expressed his support for Wang Hao and believed that it should be called 'Wang Hao'.

This name was quickly rejected by Wang Hao.

"It's so ugly!"

"That's not cool at all..."

"For the first time in my life, I feel that my name is ugly." Wang Hao commented with his lips raised, and then said to Chen Mengmeng, "If you have children in the future, please be sure to give the naming rights to others."

Chen Mengmeng smiled awkwardly.

"Teacher Wong!"

Ding Zhiqiang, who had been sitting in the corner, suddenly raised his cell phone and said loudly, "I just read a paper. I believe you will be very interested."

Ding Zhiqiang's words immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"What content?"

"Tell me."

Everyone looked at Ding Zhiqiang.

Ding Zhiqiang said with excitement, "Caltech Optical Research Center from Amrican used complex technology to create first-order light waves using first-order iron, first-order copper and... other materials."

"To be precise, it's first-order red light!"

"They conducted a detailed measurement of the first-order red light, which also included a light pressure test. They found that the light pressure of the first-order red wave is 1.69 to 1.83 times higher than that of conventional light waves!"

"In other words, our light pressure engine research..."

"——There is hope!"

After Ding Zhiqiang finished speaking, the others were suddenly surprised, followed by excitement and excitement.

The same goes for Wang Hao and Paul Phil-Jones.

When they considered the issue of light pressure before, they focused directly on the speed of light data and did not consider the issues of first-order light waves and conventional light waves at all.

As the speed of light increases, the pressure of light will increase.

What is created inside the strong annihilation force field is first-order light waves. First-order light waves are also different from conventional light waves, and the normal environment of first-order light waves is only the normal speed of light.

If the research results of Caltech Optics are correct, it means that the conditions for creating strong light pressure can be reduced by 1.69 to 1.83 times...
