From University Lecturer to Chief Academician

venue.

Wang Hao stood on the stage and explained the research content and answered most people's doubts about the research. He mainly explained two points.

One point is the stably controlled annihilation particle technology.

Another point is that the temperature requirement is reduced to 6,000 degrees Celsius.

Everyone was so shocked that they no longer paid attention to the rules of the meeting and couldn't help but start discussing with surprise.

Of course they have heard of annihilation particles.

The "explosion incident" in which Prier died heroically for science ended with Wang Hao's research group publishing the "Annihilation Particle Theory."

The controversy also started from this.

Many foreign physicists believe more in the antimatter theory. They believe that the annihilation of matter and antimatter occurred in the explosion, thus creating uncontrollable energy.

American also introduced an Indian-born physicist to study antimatter technology using the explosion experiment as a starting point.

Then there was a second explosion.

That news shocked the world, and from an onlooker's perspective, it was a bit funny to think that Amrican's research would fall in two identical places.

Of course.

Scientific experiment accidents need to be taken seriously. They can only hold a silent attitude of silence seriously, and they can only keep it in their hearts if they find it funny.

The Institute of High Energy Midway announced that it had cooperated with the Center for Antigravity Properties and produced superluminal particles in experiments, verifying the annihilation particle theory.

As a result, the annihilation particle theory has been recognized by more scholars.

In high-end academic circles, the annihilation particle theory is very famous, but everyone assumes that it is just a theory. The creation of faster-than-light particles by high-energy institutes has only verified the theory to a certain extent.

result……

Wang Hao's team has mastered annihilation particle technology?

This is appalling!

Judging from the history of the development of physics, it takes at least several decades for a brand-new theory to be proposed, verified, and then transformed into technology, let alone mastering the perfect technology.

That will take longer.

When they heard that they had mastered the stably controlled annihilation particle technology, they immediately felt that Wang Hao was joking and felt that it was too unreal.

That's annihilation particle technology!

Annihilation particle technology can be understood straightforwardly as 'technology that converts matter into energy'. The theory is different from that of antimatter technology, but the results are similar. They both create super-powerful energy, and its energy conversion efficiency is '100 percent'.

In comparison, nuclear fusion technology has only 0.7%.

Nuclear fusion technology is already quite amazing. It is considered to be "infinite energy technology" and "the cleanest energy" to some extent, but it is still not on the same level as annihilation particles.

The energy gap between the two is huge.

Another point is also very important - 'stability control'.

If the reaction cannot be controlled stably, such as in nuclear fusion reactions, the energy released increases exponentially after the reaction occurs, and control will become the main research content.

How long did it take to research nuclear fusion control?

Before the emergence of annihilation force field technology, humans had been researching nuclear fusion for more than seventy years, and a lot of money and labor costs had been invested. Research progress was very limited, and we were still far away from truly controlling nuclear fusion.

Annihilation particle technology has just appeared, and it is even more incredible that it can achieve stable control.

"This is equivalent to saying that we have mastered energy technology at the theoretical limit!"

"unimaginable!"

"If possible, I really want to learn about annihilation particle technology. It just appeared without any warning."

"I had never heard of this study at all."

"As expected of Academician Wang Hao, he is really amazing. Since he can speak plainly and technically, if it were me, I might be so excited that I can't hold my breath..."

Everyone is concerned about annihilation particle technology.

With this technology as the basis, the research on light pressure engines is no longer a fantasy, and Wang Hao also said that relying on the effect of the strong annihilation force field, the temperature needs to be reduced to 6,000 degrees Celsius.

In fact, six thousand degrees Celsius is a vague definition.

If the annihilation field strength is increased, the temperature requirement can be reduced further, but other problems may be encountered.

In addition, data without experimental knowledge is also inaccurate.

Theory, after all, is theory.

After Wang Hao talked about annihilation particle technology and temperature requirements, he did not explain too much. Their research is to design the light pressure engine based on the basics, and the technical content needs to be published.

Everyone knows the basics of technology.

The discussion at the venue lasted for a long time. After finally accepting the possession of annihilation particle technology, many people couldn't help but feel glad that they had participated in the project.

For example, Kong Libin of the Space Administration.

He was telling others about his joining, "As soon as I heard it was Academician Wang Hao's project, I applied immediately."

“Can Academician Wang Hao’s research be small?”

"From superconducting batteries to spacecraft, to nuclear fusion technology, etc., if I were not at the space agency, I would have joined these projects long ago."

"Now I finally have the chance."

"After I applied, Chen Jiahe persuaded me not to join, saying that I was the leader in aerospace materials... Isn't this a joke? I rejected him at that time!"

Kong Libin said with some pride, "He has no chance to participate. Academician Wang Hao wants people who understand aerospace materials. If he has the chance, he will definitely apply."

Several researchers from the aerospace materials department nearby also nodded.

Their application to join the project went smoothly. Kong Libin was the head of the aerospace materials department, but was persuaded not to join by other leaders.

As a result, Kong Libin said that he was also qualified and wanted to join the research project, and he almost blushed with Chen Jiahe.

The process is a bit arduous.

Kong Libin also has his own ideas. He is the head of the materials department, but he also has an age limit of 50 years old to apply.

If you don’t apply this time, you will have no chance in the future.

Many of Wang Hao's research projects have age restrictions, and elderly people who do not have outstanding abilities are not eligible to join.

So Kong Libin applied.

After completing the research project and returning to the space agency, he will have a richer resume and experience. He can still be promoted after he is fifty years old. Maybe he will have the opportunity to apply for an academician?

There is no point in staying at the space agency without joining the project.

There are currently no major research projects within the space agency. The so-called "aerospace-type airship" is still under planning, and we don't know when it will officially start.

Stay and do what?

Waiting for others to return with rich research results, and then discuss his status as the head of the aerospace materials department?

…

The venue finally calmed down.

Wang Hao waited for a while and continued, "Based on annihilation particle technology, my colleagues and I have completed the design of the main frame of the light pressure engine."

"Now, let Professor Jones explain the entire framework."

Paul Phil-Jones took the stage with a serious and serious expression, and at the beginning he explained the design of the frame step by step.

Wang Hao attaches great importance to Paul Phil Jones.

One reason is that Paul is very active in research. He devotes himself wholeheartedly to research and hopes to complete the design work as soon as possible.

The second is that Paul's level is indeed very high.

His knowledge is very extensive and he can give professional advice in many aspects even when he is involved in technical design issues.

Paul is indeed a super genius.

Among the other people in the research team, Ding Zhiqiang is still relatively young and sometimes gets nervous when he goes on stage to explain complex issues.

Helen is a bit like a 'younger version of Paul'. Her personality is a bit too arrogant, and she doesn't even bother to explain some simple contents. He is not suitable for explaining work at all.

Chen Mengmeng is cheerful and generous, but her words are a bit too gentle.

Huang Xing is incidental.

"The innovation and imagination are too poor, and the understanding of technical issues is also very poor. We can only do basic research together." Wang Hao shook his head gently.

The design work of light pressure engine is not suitable for Huang Xing, and it is only because he is a member of the research team that he does research with him.

In Paul's explanation, the annihilation particle department was covered.

Technical issues that are strictly confidential do not need to be disclosed. It is enough for everyone to know the general technology. The subject matter is still a concave reflector.

This is also the key to the design of the light pressure engine.

The concave reflector is a giant circular object that occupies most of the design framework. In terms of volume, the annihilation particle equipment and excitation propulsion device only occupy a very small part.

After Paul Phil Jones' explanation was over, Ding Zhiqiang was the next person to take the stage. Instead, he talked about the next experimental test goals and clarified the purpose of designing and manufacturing equipment.

"The equipment we design and manufacture will be tested on the ground. The goal of the test is to enable the engine to lift from the ground and fly into space."

"This process requires free control."

"We need to continue experiments in the middle to test the specific thrust and obtain other key data..."

Ding Zhiqiang's explanation was very little, but it made everyone at the venue look forward to it. The light pressure engine is a behemoth with a diameter of more than 100 meters.

This behemoth relies on light pressure to fly from the ground to space, and a huge beam of light will definitely be ejected from below.

Let's imagine……

Even if it is just an experimental test, it will cause a huge shock. Others who see it may think that it is the arrival of gods? Or maybe aliens are attacking the earth? or……

In short, it must be full of shock!

…

End of the meeting.

Many people couldn't help but talk about the research content. They were still in shock, and some were looking forward to manufacturing and testing after design.

“I couldn’t help but get to that point.”

"It will definitely be interesting when the time comes. You can't hide this kind of test at all, right? There's no point in keeping it secret."

"If I hadn't joined the project to test the light beam created, I would have thought it was a god descending to earth."

“That would be shocking!”

"I don't know how long it will take, but I feel that this project is not as complicated as nuclear fusion. According to Academician Wang Hao's speed... three months?"

"This is too fast, it's impossible! Nuclear fusion has a foundation. This research is brand new, but without a foundation, we still need a year."

"Maybe a few years?"

"I still think it can be completed in a few months...Wang Haoyuan cannot be judged by common sense."

"That's right~~~"

At this time, Wang Haozheng and Cao Dongming were walking together. They went to the materials room on the first floor of the office building, where there was a large piece of first-order tungsten-silicon alloy.

Cao Dongming had attended the meeting and knew the use of tungsten-silicon alloy. "Is it used to make the coating inside the concave reflector?"

"right."

Wang Hao nodded slightly and said, "The internal coating material of the reflector is only part of the work. Academician Cao, your task this time is very difficult!"

"Other groups are still discussing, but for your group, I asked Director Kong to transfer several aerospace material experts, including the original people in the group, to form a large group that specializes in studying the internal and external materials of concave reflectors."

"It also ties in with the design of concave reflectors."

"This part of the work is the most important and difficult..."

Wang Hao's tone was serious.

Cao Dongming also nodded seriously, "Academician Wang, don't worry, we will give 100% effort to complete the task."

The part that Cao Dongming is responsible for is indeed very important.

A concave reflector is not just a round, oversized 'lens', it also needs to have other functions. Because the reflector occupies a large volume, many issues need to be considered.

The first is the conventional resistance to cosmic radiation, electromagnetic interference and other issues.

Then we must pay attention to the physical risks. There is a high possibility that a giant object with a diameter of 100 meters will collide with small matter and cosmic garbage in space.

This is a serious physical risk, so the outer material must be hard enough and the design must be resistant to impact.

In addition, the design also needs to consider other issues.

For example, there is a high-temperature light source inside a concave reflector. A small opening can be opened in the middle, and strong light will be ejected. As long as the beam is concentrated together, it can be used as a powerful laser weapon.

This kind of laser weapon can destroy cosmic debris, and the light pressure it generates can also deflect small objects from orbit, forming a protective measure for future space carriers.

Laser weapons can also be used as active attack weapons.

Wang Hao and Cao Dongming talked about this issue, "If the beam can be concentrated, it is expected to cover a minimum range of several hundred kilometers. Theoretically, the effective range of influence is within 10,000 kilometers."

"Within a few hundred kilometers, the driving force generated by the concentrated beam is enough to significantly change the trajectory direction of an object weighing over a hundred tons."

"This can form a strong protection for the engine or the future space carrier."

They talked about beam weapons and also came to the materials room to see tungsten-silicon alloy.

Wang Hao had seen it before, but the problem was that the tungsten-silicon alloy did not increase the mission inspiration value.

In other words, the tungsten-silicon alloy in front of us is not a perfect concave mirror coating material.

Cao Dongming introduced the material performance testing experiment, "We have been testing this material, focusing on reflected strong light and fatigue testing."

"So far, it meets the standards."

"We also believe that this material meets the standards, but the fatigue test will take some time. The main reason is that we cannot provide a high temperature environment above 6,000 degrees Celsius for a long time."

Wang Hao nodded and asked, "Academician Cao, do you think there are any performance shortcomings of this material when used in concave reflectors?"

"shortcoming……"

Cao Dongming was stunned by the question. He thought about it carefully and said tentatively, "As a coating, it's not reflective enough...it's definitely not comparable to a glass mirror."

"Mainly because of the heat absorption of metal."

[Task 2, inspiration value +1. 】

The system prompts!

Wang Hao's eyes suddenly lit up and he nodded, "That's it. The heat absorption is too high, which will affect the service life."

"ah?"

Cao Dongming was confused for a moment, "You mean, this alloy failed the fatigue test?"

"right."

Wang Hao confirmed, "The main reason is that the heat absorption is too strong. But I think it is close to meeting the standard. As long as the heat absorption performance is reduced some, it can reach the standard."

"Academician Cao, what do you think can be improved to reduce the heat absorption performance?"

"this……"

Cao Dongming said blankly, "Increasing the carbon content? But will it affect other properties of the alloy?"

"You're right, what else is there?"

"Or... add other metals?"

Wang Hao immediately said, "Yes, this method is good. What metal should be added specifically?"

Cao Dongming was completely confused. He said a metal in a daze, "Iron?"

"no."

"aluminum?"

"no."

"copper?"

"Or not."

"……silver?"

"right!"

Wang Hao said with excitement, "Adding first-order silver can improve this problem. Academician Cao, your next step is to conduct research and development in this direction. I believe you will be able to develop an alloy that meets the requirements."

"..."

Cao Dongming was stunned for a long time.

He recalled the conversation with Wang Hao, completely confused. Then he turned his head blankly and asked Zhou Jin next to him, "Academician Wang was inspecting me just now, right? Just like a teacher inspecting a student?"

Zhou Jin nodded thoughtfully, "I feel the same way..."
