From University Lecturer to Chief Academician

Annihilation force field experimental base.

The work of the photopressure magnetization power generation research group has become busy. They originally thought that the material testing work was easy, but after the new materials were delivered, they found that it was not that simple.

The materials tested before are all solid materials. They only need to make the materials into thin sheets and place them in the field force for direct detection.

The new material is magnetized to generate electricity after being melted, which gave Wang Shanqing, Zhang Chunli and others a headache. They thought of a way to seal the new material with a high-melting point glass material, and then place it in a field to detect it.

There will be a loss of light energy in this process, because the glass material cannot be 100% transparent, and some of the light energy must be converted into heat.

One percent converted into heat will also reduce the efficiency of light-to-electricity conversion by one percent.

After customizing a high-melting-point glass sealed tube, they thought the problem had been solved, but found that the metal composite laboratory had used new materials.

This time the requirements for the new material are even higher. Not only do they need to be magnetized to generate electricity after melting, but they also need to measure the magnetization to generate electricity in the state of ‘high-pressure liquefaction’.

Composite materials are made from a variety of materials combined together.

Some materials have low melting points, and some materials have high melting points. When the temperature reaches a certain level, some of the constituent materials will melt or even reach a vaporized state, while other constituent materials will continue to remain solid.

For example, the melting points of silicon compounds and metal alloys are very high, while the melting points of sulfide and lithium compounds as media are very low.

If a material composition vaporizes at high temperatures, the material properties must not be maintained. Then the material must maintain its original volume, that is, it must continue to remain in a 'liquefied' state under high pressure, which is called 'high-pressure liquefaction'.

Therefore, the pipes carrying the material must have high pressure resistance characteristics.

High pressure resistance is not a technical problem that is difficult to solve. The key issue is that the pipe carrying the material must be light-transmissive, otherwise the external light source will be blocked by the pipe, and "light to electricity" will not be possible.

"High-pressure resistant light-transmitting pipes..."

Wang Shanqing had a headache just thinking about it. They definitely couldn't solve the problem themselves and could only ask large-scale materials institutions for inquiries.

He's very lucky.

The capital's polymer materials rely on the first-order silicon element to develop a brand-new light-transmitting material, which has the characteristics of high melting point, high pressure resistance and explosion resistance. It also agreed to manufacture part of the new material and hand it over to the annihilation force field experimental team. First, we obtained the new materials from the Institute of Polymer Materials and immediately sent them to the cooperative factory for manufacturing.

The entire process was rushed and it still took more than two weeks to complete.

At this time, several new materials developed by Wang Hao in the Metal Composite Materials Laboratory have been transported to the Annihilation Force Field Experiment Base.

Looking at the new materials piled up in the operation room, Wang Shanqing and Zhang Chunli sighed with a wry smile, "They can research new materials faster than we can do testing."

"This is really..."

"It's unreasonable!"

They all felt that they were lagging behind, but they had no choice but to continue waiting.

Wang Hao couldn't wait any longer.

He stayed in the metal composite materials laboratory for a month and led the team to complete the manufacture of a total of eight new materials.

At this time, he discovered that the inspiration value was increasing very slowly, indicating that the new direction provided by Li Guowei had come to an end.

Although the research was not yet confirmed to be completed, Wang Hao decided to leave Sudong University. He first returned to Xihai, and after a few days of rest, he went to the annihilation force field experimental group.

The Annihilation Field Experiment Team has a lot of work.

One of the most important ones is the experiment to study the release of F-rays from a strong annihilation force field. The difficulty of releasing F-rays from a strong annihilation force field is S+. Obviously, it cannot be completed by simply designing an experiment.

But Wang Hao still supports them to continue the experiment. Even if F-rays cannot be released, new discoveries may be made during the experiment, which will help improve the inspiration value of the research task. In addition, the data during the experiment is also very important. Every item Experiments are all about laying the foundation and making accumulation.

Wang Hao checked the experimental data when he arrived at the experimental group.

Ding Zhiqiang has been participating in the experiment. He gave Wang Hao a detailed report, but he looked a little down and depressed because they didn't find anything.

After Wang Hao listened to the report and looked at the experimental data in detail, he found that there was a '1' point increase in inspiration value.

Although there is only a '1' point increase, which can be ignored in a mission, you must know that this is an S+ difficulty mission.

A 1 point increase is also amazing!

Wang Hao noticed that Ding Zhiqiang looked a little down, and he immediately comforted him, "Xiao Ding, you have done a good job. It is not your problem that you didn't find anything."

"Actually, I don't expect you to actually create F-rays. What you are doing now is to accumulate experience and lay a solid foundation."

"I just took a closer look, and you did a very good job!"

Wang Hao's words of approval did not make Ding Zhiqiang feel better, and even made him feel more depressed.

because……

He felt that Wang Hao was 'positively PUA'.

Their experiments clearly found nothing, but Wang Hao still affirmed their work. Why? Isn’t it ‘positive PUA’?

Constantly praise and affirm, even if you don’t do well, praise...

Only fools believe this!

…

After paying attention to the experiment of releasing F-rays from a strong annihilation force field, the light energy magnetization power generation technology research team finally obtained a light-transmitting high-pressure pipeline.

Wang Shanqing and Zhang Chunli immediately organized material testing.

The experiment was relatively easy, and it only took them three days to complete the testing of all new materials.

The results are very gratifying.

For the first material, the temperature rises to 1300 degrees Celsius. When it exceeds 1300 degrees Celsius, some of the constituent materials melt, resulting in no subsequent data.

The second material encountered the same problem as the first material, except that the temperature increased to 1350 degrees Celsius.

In the third material, the constituent materials melted at 800 degrees Celsius, but a high potential difference was still detected, breaking through the limit of fixed to semi-fluid, and the temperature also increased to 1460 degrees Celsius.

The fourth kind...

The fifth material is a breakthrough. Ultra-high temperature current has been detected, with a temperature of 1750 degrees Celsius. If it were not for the high-pressure state, the lithium element compound in it would have vaporized.

The sixth kind...

The seventh kind...

"Academician Wang!"

After the day's experiment ended, Wang Shanqing came over immediately to report the good news. He said excitedly, "The last material fully meets the requirements."

"TGL-03, 2300 degrees Celsius, high potential difference detected."

"Although there is no definite efficiency measurement, we are very sure that the conversion efficiency exceeds thirty points..."

After hearing this, Wang Hao immediately said seriously, "Tell me more specifically."

Wang Shanqing said, "TGL-03, the melting point of sulfide is 610 degrees Celsius and the boiling point is 1200 degrees Celsius. The melting point of lithium element compound..."

"In the test experiment, we directly heated to 1800 degrees Celsius and found that the conversion efficiency exceeded 30. After continuing to measure, the conversion efficiency not only did not become lower, but became higher."

"We believe that when TGL-03 is in a high-pressure liquefaction state, the increase in temperature does not affect its resistance, and at the same time increases the internal electronic activity."

"If the temperature exceeds 2500 degrees Celsius, the conversion efficiency will definitely exceed 50 points!"

Wang Shanqing said it with certainty.

Wang Hao was also very excited. He immediately went to the Light Energy Magnetization Power Generation Research Group and conducted a new round of measurements with them. The final results were the same as Wang Shanqing said.

Above 2500 degrees Celsius, the light-to-electricity conversion efficiency exceeds 50%.

This discovery is so important that it directly solves the power problem of the light pressure engine. At the same time, the efficiency has also been greatly improved.

For light pressure engines, the advantages of light energy magnetization power generation technology lie in high efficiency and simplified equipment. With the new technology, backward steam power generation technology is no longer needed.

The conversion efficiency of steam power generation technology is also very high, but a big problem is that the equipment is too heavy and the efficiency of the generator is also very low. If you want to create high voltage and strong current, you must operate several large generators together, and power generation The weight of the machine itself cannot be underestimated.

The technology of light energy magnetization power generation is different.

When this technology is placed on a light pressure engine, it is enough to add a strong annihilation field device. It can be said that it perfectly matches the light pressure engine.

At the same time, there is still room for improvement in technology.

TGL-03 brings a new material direction for light energy magnetization power generation technology. Research can continue along this direction to further improve the conversion efficiency.

In addition, the outer layer of light-transmitting pipe materials can also continue to be researched in order to have stronger resistance to high temperature, high pressure and explosion resistance.

It is a pity that the new technology can only be used on large-scale equipment that operates alone for the time being. At this stage, the only thing that meets the conditions is the light pressure engine.

For example, ground-based power generation is not feasible.

Even if the conversion efficiency is high, the pure light source energy in a closed space is limited. It is best to control the temperature inside the equipment below 2700 degrees Celsius, otherwise the material will melt and be damaged.

If it is ground-based power generation, it is better to use annihilation particle technology combined with steam power generation, and at the same time expand the heat source space to create more heat.

Under the premise that annihilation particle technology is close to "infinite energy", the space on the ground is large enough, and the energy conversion efficiency is not important.

Other large equipment is not used either.

For example, aircraft carriers can completely use "nuclear power". "Nuclear power" technology is more mature and can continue to produce energy.

Light energy magnetization power generation is a brand new technology, and the equipment accuracy and cost are relatively high.

…

After completing the material research on light energy magnetization power generation, Wang Hao couldn't wait to go to the light pressure engine manufacturing base.

Two months have passed, and the experimental base has changed a lot.

More than ten kilometers away from the base, you can already vaguely see the concave reflector frame, which is a huge sphere with a diameter of 120 meters.

120 meters, forty stories high.

Coupled with the fact that it is a huge round ball, it looks like a huge thing from the outside.

This is also the reason why the research on the light pressure engine was initially decided not to be kept secret. Such a huge thing cannot be kept secret at all. Regardless of whether it can be seen from the surroundings, satellites that are thousands or more than 10,000 kilometers away from the ground can easily be directly seen. .

In fact, many institutions use satellites to view experimental bases.

From the perspective of a high-precision satellite, one can easily see an oversized sphere, and they all know that it is a manufactured light pressure engine.

Most institutions are not optimistic about it.

The concept of a light pressure engine is really too advanced. Even with the support of basic annihilation particle technology, the idea of ​​building a light pressure engine is still unacceptable.

There are many technical difficulties that prevent photosynthesis, and high-temperature environment control is the biggest difficulty.

How to control high temperatures above 50,000 degrees Celsius?

Even first-order materials cannot do this, and when the temperature is reduced to several thousand degrees Celsius or 10,000 degrees Celsius, the light pressure power produced cannot even keep up with the Hall thruster.

Isn't such a light pressure engine useless?

Most institutions are not optimistic about it, but they are not 100% sure that it cannot be built. What if the flower family masters other technologies?

This cannot be determined.

Therefore, many foreign institutions continue to conduct monitoring, and at the same time they also pray, "It will definitely not be made! This is just a fake!"

"Something's bound to go wrong!"

"It's impossible to fly even if it's made!"

"The first experiment may cause an explosion!"

"..."

There are many unfavorable remarks in the world, and there are also many positive remarks. They are not optimistic about the light pressure engine, but affirm the "speed" of flower growers.

That is, the speed of flower planting!

In contrast, some countries spent twenty years developing large-scale aircraft carriers. Problems always occurred when the aircraft carrier was launched into the water for the first time. It was announced that the aircraft carrier had been confirmed to be commissioned, but it still stayed motionless in the port, and various reports frequently broke out. kind of problem.

In just two months, the domestically manufactured light pressure engine has been built. The super-large circular frame has been built, and the overall structure can already be seen through satellites.

This speed is very amazing.

That is a very large sphere with a diameter of 120 meters. Even if it is just to build a very large circular building, it would be difficult to build the frame in three months, let alone a light pressure engine.

Wang Hao just doesn't have so many emotions.

After the light pressure engine project was confirmed, it received support from the state. Priority was given to all aspects of supply, and it was normal for the framework to be built in a short time.

After he arrived at the light pressure engine experimental base, he worried the core members of the design team and talked about the design improvements of the 'power generation module'.

"Now we have the power generation technology suitable for a photopressure engine."

"Therefore, it is necessary to improve the power generation module of the generator. The original design used part of the steam power generation and superconducting batteries to maintain power supply, but it could only support about half an hour."

"New technology can make the light pressure engine self-sufficient in electricity..."

The light pressure engine looks very large from the outside. In fact, it is not the huge concave reflector that consumes power, but the strong annihilation force field, excitation propulsion device and electronic circuit system.

Nuclear reactors are sustainable.

The concave reflector seems very large, but its function is only to release the light source and create light pressure, and it does not require electrical energy support.

The strong annihilation field and the excitation propulsion device are both large power consumers.

Secondly, the power consumption of the two devices is very high. More importantly, the power requirements are too high. Thick cables are needed from the ground to the ground to provide power.

Previous designers used several steam generators, coupled with several superconducting batteries, to maintain a high-power power supply.

The problem with this design is that the power of the superconducting battery is limited and can theoretically only last for about thirty minutes.

The weight of the steam generator itself is very high, and a responsible steam power generation design is required at the front end of the concave reflector, which greatly increases the weight of the entire engine. At the same time, the complex power generation design also increases the probability of failure.

Wang Hao talked seriously about the new technology, "We use a new light energy magnetization power generation technology. This technology only needs to separate a part of the light source from the concave reflector, enter a specific enclosed space, and then install a weakened strong annihilation force The field device is enough.”

Everyone else opened their mouths in surprise.

They had many questions in their minds, but Cao Dongming asked, "Academician Wang, is the new technology so simple? All it takes is adding an annihilation field device."

Wang Hao nodded.

Cao Dongming continued to ask, "What about the conversion efficiency? Can the engine be made self-sufficient?"

Wang Haodao, "We have already conducted measurements and found that in a space where the temperature of the pure light source exceeds 500 degrees Celsius, it is possible to generate electricity that allows the annihilation force field equipment to operate on its own."

"The other core annihilation field equipment consumes more power, but it is estimated that 1200 degrees Celsius is enough."

"From the data point of view, the temperature of the pure light source remains above 1500 degrees Celsius, which is enough to support the operation of two annihilation force field equipment and the excitation propulsion device."

"Above 1,600 degrees Celsius is enough to maintain engine power."

"We can design 1,800 degrees Celsius to produce more power to supply several superconducting batteries. If the power system fails, the superconducting batteries can continue to keep the engine running."

Wang Hao said it with certainty.

Others were surprised. They didn't expect to hear such technology. Is 1600 degrees Celsius enough to support engine operation?

The temperature inside the concave emitting mirror can theoretically reach 6000 degrees Celsius.

In other words, as long as a small part of the light source is separated, it is enough to allow the engine to operate autonomously, and the power problem can be said to be perfectly solved.

This is so amazing!

Many people have discussed, "This new power generation technology is amazing and directly solves the flaws in the engine design."

“At the same time, safety is greatly improved!”

"I can't wait. When can I see this technology?"

Wang Hao nodded and said, "Follow-up tests are still being completed. Next month, I will ask the optical energy magnetization team to come over and conduct more detailed measurement experiments at the experimental base."

"Now our job is to improve the power generation module..."

…

The power generation module of the light pressure engine project has been improved, and the only shortcoming in the design has been made up.

In the following months, the project also progressed steadily.

Time flies like an arrow,

Gone in a flash.

Seven months passed quickly.

The world can be described as calm. There are no major events in the field of science and technology, but there are many institutions and scientists who have been paying attention to two focuses.

One is the light pressure engine project.

The other is the cooperation between the nuclear organization and the science and technology department. To put it bluntly, the science and technology department determines the strong annihilation field equipment to be provided to the nuclear organization.

There is no news about the former.

Other institutions can only view the appearance of the light pressure engine through satellites, but it is impossible to evaluate the specific progress of the project.

The light pressure engine is a completely new project.

Without a basis for reference, it is impossible to use images and shapes to evaluate progress.

The cooperation between nuclear organizations and science and technology departments is real, and relevant news has also attracted the attention of the world——

The strong annihilation field equipment provided by the science and technology department has been loaded on the cargo ship, left the port and shipped to Europe...
