From University Lecturer to Chief Academician

Korot-James' prediction was very accurate.

After the Annihilation Organization announced that it had verified the existence of S-waves in space, only two days later, officials sent by the decision-making level came to the Groom Lake project base. The official who came was Robert Bauer.

Robert Bauer is an important figure in the No. 1 decision-maker team. He is in charge of the direction of science and technology support development, and has even been involved in the work of the Department of Energy. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the superior of the project team's superiors.

After Robert Ball came to the project department, he immediately found Corot James. He first asked about his recent work, and then asked about gravitational field technology, S-wave and other issues.

Corot James was very serious. He said, "Judging from the results released by the Anti-Gravity Center, they detected S-waves around the strong annihilation force field. The verification by the Annihilation Organization confirmed this."

"We have the same equipment as the Annihilation Organization. As long as we follow this direction of research, we will definitely be able to discover the S wave and measure it in detail."

"If we can better understand S waves, we can get gravitational field technology."

James said very definitely, "Mr. Ball, we have an advantage in this research."

"oh?"

Robert Ball suddenly became interested.

In the field of cutting-edge technology, no matter what kind of technology emerges, Amrican has never had any advantage at all. He would like to hear James's opinion.

James said with confidence, "Mr. Ball, I believe you also have an understanding of gravitational field technology. They have developed a certain technology and actively created S-waves, thus mastering gravitational field technology."

"At the same time, S wave is not a first-order wave, but refers to a conventional radiation wave. We have a rich physical foundation, and the technology in the direction of radiation waves is the most advanced."

"So as long as we understand S waves, we will be able to master gravitational field technology based on its properties, and we will be further ahead than flower growers in this technology!"

Robert Ball suddenly understood.

In terms of research in the field of cutting-edge science and technology, flower growers can be said to be completely ahead. That is because cutting-edge technology is researched from scratch.

Radiation waves, no.

Ameriken masters the most high-end electromagnetic wave and radiation wave detection and manufacturing technology. They can produce the most advanced radar. They also invest a lot of money every year in the research direction of basic physics. Decades and hundreds of years have brought about rich technological accumulation. Naturally It is far ahead in the field of radiation waves.

If the characteristics of a radiation wave are mastered, and flower growers can produce specific radiation waves based on the characteristics, then their research and development speed will definitely be faster, and they will be able to create more sophisticated equipment.

Therefore, it is only a matter of time before gravitational field technology surpasses flower growers.

The starting point is indeed behind.

Flower growers have mastered gravitational field technology first, but they have rich technical and theoretical accumulation, and they also have the largest and best team of scientists. Their research and development speed is much faster than that of flower growers.

Robert Ball immediately nodded with satisfaction, patted James on the shoulder and said, "Sure enough!"

"Just let you be the person in charge."

"Previously, Kubo was really indescribable. He couldn't research anything. The decision-makers were very disappointed with him..."

"Come on, Kolot, I'm optimistic about you!"

Robert Ball left with satisfaction.

James looked at Ball's back and smiled. What he said would be no problem for anyone, because the results released by the Anti-Gravity Center were like this. First, they discovered S-waves, and then actively produced them based on the characteristics of S-waves. Exited S-wave and mastered gravitational field technology.

In reality?

James was very sure that the gravitational field must have been discovered first, and then the S wave was detected and measured.

The order is very important.

If the gravitational field is discovered first, it means that the S wave has been created. The subsequent detection of the S wave is just a theoretical study.

So how is the gravitational field created?

The results have no relevant content at all.

Now the research method he mentioned is simply not feasible, but the inability to study it has nothing to do with the Groom Lake Project team. They are responsible for the measurement of S-waves. Since the Annihilation Organization can measure it, they naturally have no problem. .

So the results they wanted to submit were only the characteristics of S-waves. The Annihilation Organization completed the measurement in just one week, and it was easy for them to do this work.

The subsequent gravitational field technology has nothing to do with them.

The Groom Lake Project team studies strong annihilation force field technology, and actively manufacturing it according to the characteristics of a radiation wave is the work of other research institutions. Possible institutions include military science and technology departments, electromagnetic physics, radiation physics, etc. Physical institutions, including some large enterprises.

etc.

In short, it cannot be researched in the end, and it has nothing to do with the Groom Lake project team.

James believes that it will eventually be impossible to study, just like cosmic rays. The physics community has done a lot of research on cosmic rays, but can they be actively produced? That's simply impossible.

S-wave production is not necessarily less difficult than cosmic rays.

It is a weak wave with extremely strong penetrating power. The stronger the penetrating power of conventional radiation waves, the higher the energy. That is, only 'strong waves' have strong penetrating power.

Weak waves have extremely strong penetrating power, which is contrary to common sense.

Research and manufacture?

That is definitely not something that can be achieved by conventional means!

…

After deciding that the next step was to study the S wave, James immediately held an internal research meeting and showed his determination to produce results. "If the annihilation tissue can be measured, we can definitely do it."

"We have more cutting-edge technology."

"We have better scientists and a better team!"

James not only encouraged everyone with words, but also announced that he would give bonuses to everyone who participated, because the research itself does not cost much money. If there is sufficient financial support, it is natural to give money to encourage his subordinates.

Bonuses are very effective.

All participants in the research were very supportive of James' approach, which also enhanced his personal prestige in the project team.

In this way, the superior decision-making department has great trust in James, and the subordinates are very convinced of James.

James suddenly became well-received.

He personally returned to his office, picked up his mobile phone leisurely, and sent text messages to a few 'friends'.

"Tina, I was so busy last month that I couldn't open the communication. You also know my work, so I have to keep it secret. Yes, I have been thinking about you..."

"Alice, I finally dealt with Bauer two days ago. You know who he is, right? The bald guy standing with the No. 1 decision-maker!"

"I hate that guy, but I can't help it. I am a patriotic scientific researcher and I have to put in a lot of energy... Of course I miss you. That wonderful night is still vivid in my mind..."

"Vanessa, I really hope to officially date you. It's such a pity that you already have a husband."

"Next week? Of course, I will call you when I have time. See you at the same place..."

…

Light pressure engine project base.

After determining the appearance design plan of the space carrier, the relevant researchers worked together to improve the "design around the concave reflector cabin".

Many people participated in the research, which also made the design plan more perfect.

Afterwards, Wang Hao held a design meeting and announced the formal launch of the space carrier design project.

The aerospace carrier already has the most critical energy power device (light pressure engine) and gravitational field technology. The subsequent design will revolve around these two key technologies, but the work is still very cumbersome.

The space carrier is really too complicated, and its complexity is several to ten times higher than that of the space station.

Even just design work requires a lot of professional input.

Wang Hao specially set up a space carrier design team. More than 150 people initially entered the design team, most of whom were from the space agency, and some were material experts.

Then new jobs came.

The light pressure engine will undergo its first high-altitude test. The light pressure engine will fly to an altitude of more than 20,000 meters and then fly for more than 2,000 kilometers.

During the entire test process, tests including diagonal acceleration, turning, rapid descent, and operational balance will be carried out. When it is about to land, the emergency system test will also be carried out.

The emergency system test is to forcefully shut down the magnetization power generation system and allow the built-in superconducting battery to provide temporary power supply.

There are risks in this process, so the test will be conducted near the landing.

At the same time, for the next step of space testing and simulation of the space environment, the research team ordered a large capsule from the space agency.

The cabin is circular and has been installed above the light pressure engine.

The circular cabin is just a prototype cabin and only has some basic functions, including electrolyzed water system, waste treatment system, etc.

The prototype capsule will only be tested once and will then be placed in the base. The purpose is to allow scientific researchers to have a better understanding of the space capsule, including internal materials, equipment, control systems, garbage disposal systems, electrolyzed water systems, etc.

The exit of the cabin is directly above, and a temporary electromagnetic ejection seat is installed on the diagonal side to ensure the safety of the personnel inside.

In fact, the electromagnetic ejection seat is not very protective for the personnel inside, mainly because the light pressure engine is too large. Even if it is ejected hundreds of meters, it may be exposed to the high temperature below and cause an accident, or it may fall to the ground. The same problem will also be encountered on concave reflectors.

Therefore, personnel who follow the high-pressure engine to lift off will wear thick spacesuits with a built-in landing device on the back.

Now the light pressure engine has solved the problems discovered last time, the electronic system has also been upgraded, and the preparations are very complete.

In the past half month, Wang Hao personally inspected every part of the engine and even inspected the entire concave reflector. Some minor problems found have been solved, and he felt more at ease.

This is necessary to ensure that the test is successful.

The light pressure engine is too important. If some small problems lead to a major accident, the gain will outweigh the loss.

This level of testing work may cause heavy losses due to accidents, but may also cause catastrophic accidents.

Half a month before the start of the high-altitude test, the Spacecraft Industry Company has officially announced the test time. The test experiment has also attracted worldwide attention. Many satellites have been aligned with the project base in advance, and some media reporters have already arrived. When it comes to the project base, the closest distance they can reach to the project base is 30 kilometers.

International public opinion is discussing the high-altitude test of the light pressure engine. Many people lament the speed of the development of the light pressure engine and are also analyzing the possibility of a successful test.

Some people are optimistic about it, some people are not optimistic about it.

"The more complex aerospace technology is, the higher the possibility of failure. Just like the exploration of Mars, the former Soviet Union failed countless times."

"Even the number of times they succeed is very small."

"This is true for rocket launches, not to mention the light pressure engine. Now it is just a high-altitude test, but if there is any problem with that big guy, it will be a big problem."

"The last test was successful, but it was just taking off and landing. This time it has to rise to an altitude of more than 10,000 meters. It will also be tested in many aspects. The possibility of failure is still very high."

"If it fails, wouldn't it turn into a disaster?"

"This is a little scary."

Of course, there are many voices of expectation, but there are still worries in anticipation. After all, the light pressure engine is too huge.

The domestic voice is still positive.

There are many discordant voices abroad, and many people directly expressed their hope that an accident would occur during the test.

This is mainly due to competition and jealousy.

In recent years, flower growers have made too much progress in cutting-edge technology, and the light pressure engine is an unimaginable technology. Other countries can only lament the huge technological gap.

It's like a hundred years ago, some countries had begun to study atomic bombs, while some countries didn't even understand the principles, and the news felt like nonsense until those two atomic bombs released fireworks that were recorded in history.

The gap between the two's military technological levels is so large that it cannot be judged based on reason.

Nowadays, most countries do not have perfect aerospace technology, and at most they can only launch small satellites. Among space thruster technologies, the most widely used Hall thruster only exists in theory.

result……

Flower growers are already developing light pressure engines? The gap between the two is so huge that it is completely hopeless.

Amrican, not to mention.

They are naturally very concerned about the testing of the light pressure engine. The No. 1 decision-maker and his support team are ready to watch the entire testing process in detail through satellite and live broadcast.

This time the experimental test is open to the public.

Although media reporters will not be allowed to enter the project base for interviews, they will be allowed to conduct live broadcasts in a town 30 kilometers away.

In fact, there is no way to do a public test. The light pressure engine is too huge. The way to keep it secret is to hide your ears and steal the bell. The test process will definitely be locked by satellites, so keeping it secret is simply impossible.

So we finally decided to do it publicly.

SpaceX Industries has also confirmed that it will hold a press conference after the test is completed.

The company is very much looking forward to the test, and they have already made follow-up plans, because the funds will soon be exhausted. The next step of fundraising has been put on the agenda and will be carried out after the test is completed.

The next step in funding includes follow-up research on light pressure engines and preliminary research on aerospace carriers.

Together, the two are estimated to raise more than 150 billion yuan.

Wang Hao believes that the Spacecraft Industry Company will operate normally in the future, that is, after manufacturing the space carrier, it will use high-end technology to create profits. Now in the development period, it is natural to let people see the hope of the success of the space carrier project. Only in this way can we attract more funds, instead of having a 'financial showdown' with cooperative enterprises.

The practice of ‘funding showdown’ will definitely encounter various problems.

The day before the test started, the leadership team headed by Teacher Xu, Teacher Zhao and Teacher Zhu came to the project base again.

They walked around the light pressure engine and took a close look at the preheated internal equipment.

Afterwards, they went to the small conference room together.

Teacher Xu couldn't help but said, "Academician Wang, is this test too important?" He added, "Several people told me that your decision to do the test was a bit hasty..."

"In a hurry?" Wang Hao was a little confused.

"too fast!"

Teacher Xu explained, "It's not that I don't have confidence in you, but the speed is too fast. It's only been a few months? From take-off and landing tests to high-altitude tests, it's faster than the development of fighter jets..."

"I think it's okay."

Wang Hao said seriously, "We are already prepared. There is no point in delaying it any longer. As for being sure..."

He shook his head and said, "No one dares to say 100%. If you want to be confident, well, let's say more than 95%!"

He said a number easily.

Teacher Xu and Teacher Zhao looked at each other and whispered, "What does Academician Wang mean? Ninety-five percent? Did he deliberately say such a big number to give us confidence?"

Teacher Zhao shook his head slightly. He didn't know what Wang Hao was thinking.

Teacher Zhu smiled and said, "Mr. Xu, do you have an answer to your question? If you say too much, you won't believe it. If you say too little, you will worry."

"No need to think about it, just watch."

"Anyway, I'm very confident."

Teacher Xu glared at Teacher Zhu and complained, "Have you ever thought about a question? You will be the most affected by this test."

"Your space agency is involved. If something goes wrong, you can retire early."

Teacher Zhu was stunned when he heard this, "Why?"

Teacher Xu leaned into Teacher Zhu's ear and whispered, "Do you think the blame will fall on Academician Wang? So."

Teacher Zhu was stunned for a while, then took a deep breath, "When you said that, I suddenly started to worry..."
