From University Lecturer to Chief Academician

After the application of gravitational field technology, the performance of the space carrier can definitely achieve a qualitative breakthrough.

The application of gravitational field technology can simulate the ground environment inside the space carrier, which allows humans to live in space as if they were on the surface of the earth, and the working time will be greatly extended.

The gravity-free environment in space is harmful to the human body.

When the human body is in a weightless environment for a long time, it will cause metabolic disorders in the body, which may cause a series of problems.

Generally speaking, astronauts work in space for no more than six months. Astronauts on the International Space Station generally work for four months, and astronauts on domestic space stations work for three to six months.

After completing a round of work, the astronauts will return to the ground for detailed physical examinations and a series of exercises until their bodies return to normal before they can carry out the next mission.

This is a big limitation for the application of space carriers.

The space carrier is not a conventional space station. It may carry out planetary exploration work in the future. The duration is not fixed, and it is very likely to exceed six months. Without gravitational field technology, the internal personnel will always be in a state of weightlessness. , it may lead to a series of physical problems.

Therefore, the application of space carriers will also be greatly affected.

The second point is that the space carrier can continue to maintain its acceleration state, and higher acceleration also means more flexible performance.

It is very important for an aerospace carrier to be able to maintain an accelerated state. Theoretically speaking, the speed of an aerospace carrier powered by a light pressure engine can be infinitely close to the speed of light.

Of course, affected by the theory of time, it is very difficult to accelerate close to the speed of light.

At the same time, human body endurance is very limited.

The speed of light is approximately 300,000 kilometers per second, and even two-thirds of the speed of light reaches 200,000 kilometers per second.

Assuming that the space carrier has been accelerating at a speed of 20 meters per second, it will take more than 100 days to accelerate to 200,000 kilometers per second. How can the human body withstand this state for 100 days?

That's obviously impossible.

The human body cannot be maintained in an accelerated environment for a long time, otherwise it will cause big physiological problems. In an accelerated environment, you can only sit in your seat and cannot do anything. You cannot be inside the space carrier. normal work.

Therefore, under the limitation of the human body's endurance, it is meaningless no matter how high the performance of the space carrier is. In fact, the high performance cannot be released at all.

It's different after having gravitational field technology.

The reverse gravitational field can offset the acceleration effect. The higher the gravitational field technology, the greater the offset acceleration value.

When the space carrier is in an accelerated state for a long time, the personnel inside the ship do not feel anything and can still work normally.

In this case, the space carrier can exert its superior performance.

…

Gravitational field technology is indeed very important.

Wang Hao's next step is to return to the Anti-Gravity Center to continue research on gravitational field technology, but after the press conference, the priority is still to complete fundraising.

They quickly held a fundraising meeting.

This meeting was held internally, but representatives from some cooperative companies without shares were also invited to participate. Companies with shares sent heavyweights to participate in the meeting.

The meeting first explained the research progress of light pressure engines, high-altitude test experiments and next-step research plans.

"Next step, we will improve the light pressure engine and officially start the design and initial manufacturing of the space carrier."

"Before the space test begins, we will surround the concave reflector and install several large cabins. At the same time, we will also install weapons devices above the concave reflector..."

Wang Hao stood in the center and made a work report.

After the work report ended, everyone in the venue applauded. They were all looking forward to the content of the plan and hoped that the goals could be achieved.

After that, General Manager Zang Chunlai explained the financing plan and the determined financing amount.

This plan will raise a total of 150 billion yuan.

Among them, it has been determined that Annihilation Technology Company and Wang Hao himself will spend 30 billion and 15 billion respectively according to their shareholding ratios.

The anti-gravity center took out 20 billion.

Previously, the anti-gravity center and the light pressure engine group held 50% of the shares, and could only contribute 20 billion, which meant that the shareholding ratio had to be reduced. At the same time, the shares belonging to the light pressure engine project team would be carefully split and detailed. right.

Wang Hao's shareholding ratio has therefore increased to 11.3%.

The Anti-Gravity Center took the initiative to reduce its shareholding ratio. Naturally, there were also parties determined to increase their shareholdings, namely the military and state-owned groups. They invested a total of 50 billion and took away part of the shares.

The research on the space carrier is too important, and the military and state-owned groups must have a hand in it.

In fact, the intervention of the military and state-owned groups is to formalize the research on the space carrier. After all, the research itself has the support of the military and science and technology departments. Otherwise, just allocating research bases will be a big problem.

The purpose of investing and holding shares now is to formalize the management of Aerospace Industry Company.

Then only 35 billion is left to raise funds.

This amount is not low either.

The test performance of the light pressure engine is very good and has attracted the attention of the world. However, it is difficult to predict the profitability of the spacecraft company in the future. At least there is no place where profitability can be achieved at present.

For normal investment, each company will definitely have to discuss it. After all, the purpose of investment is to make profits, not to invest money in a high-end research project that has nothing to do with itself.

It is impossible for the current aerospace carrier to make profits in a short time, and it is only a steady stream of investment, but the temptation of high-end technology is still very great, and with the most advanced gravitational field technology, the possibility of realizing interstellar exploration in the future is becoming more and more big.

Even though the future is uncontrollable, everyone knows that only high-end technology can achieve high profits.

It is also very tempting to look at the development momentum of Annihilation Technology Company now, because at the beginning, the research on strong annihilation force fields was just a simple investment in research and development projects. Compared with the aerospace carrier, it is much better, at least it can be seen A truly built light pressure engine.

In addition, the research and development of aerospace carriers also has a very significant international influence.

Therefore, raising 35 billion yuan is not a problem at all, and many companies are prepared to spend money for investment.

soon.

The 35 billion raised funds have been distributed.

After the fundraising meeting, Zang Chunlai walked with Wang Hao and asked, "Academician Wang, if we go on to raise a higher amount of funding in the next step, I think we can consider a bank loan."

"Based on the current situation of the project, there should be no problem in borrowing tens of billions."

Wang Hao shook his head and said, "We have no profit point for the time being. Since we can raise funds directly, why do we need loans? That is no choice."

“And, I have confidence in the project.”

"The next step is to conduct space testing. By then, we will have the prototype of the space carrier, and I believe we will be able to find profit points."

Zang Chunlai smiled bitterly and said, "I hope so."

The future is uncertain.

The test of the high-pressure engine is now indeed going smoothly, and the test has also shocked the world. In addition, the introduction of gravitational field technology has attracted a lot of international public attention.

But many people have different opinions on whether the space carrier plan can be successful.

Then you must consider the risk issue.

The success of the high-altitude test does not mean the success of the space test, and the success of the space test does not mean that the space carrier can definitely be built.

The risk factors are very high. There are indeed great risks in the aerospace field. The aerospace carrier is not a fighter jet. If the fighter jet has a problem and crashes during testing, it can still rely on technology to manufacture a second or third fighter jet.

The aerospace carrier is too huge and costs too much. If there is a slight problem along the way and a crash occurs, the next development may take several years and will require national power to be implemented. The most likely possibility is that Produced by the space agency with financial support.

Of course, the person in charge of the research will still be Wang Hao, and other companies and institutions will no longer have the opportunity to participate.

The problem now is that the positioning of spacecraft companies is not clear.

The Spaceship Company is said to be a company operating normally, but in fact the Space Carrier itself has serious military and purely scientific and technological research implications. It is operated commercially and cannot find profit points for the time being. It also relies heavily on the support of national power. For the time being, It cannot operate like a regular business.

These are all questions.

Wang Hao would not consider that much. Professionals are still responsible for the management of the company.

Now that the military and state-owned groups have settled in, there is no need to worry about the management level. What he cares about is decision-making power. No matter how the company develops, it is enough for him to ensure that he has decision-making power.

He expects the space carrier project to be successful, and a one-time success.

Therefore, he would not do research as if by chance, but would consider all aspects to nip all possible dangers in the bud.

…

After the funding meeting, the aerospace carrier underwent detailed internal and external inspections. A series of reports will be released later, and the problems discovered will also be repaired.

Wang Hao asked Zhu Qiqiang, Cao Dongming, Wang Dong and others to take charge of the work of the project base. He went to the annihilation particle experimental base, where research on laser weapons has been ongoing.

Tang Hongchao's team used the latest materials to slightly improve the performance of laser weapons. "Our latest powerful laser can hit targets 22 kilometers away. The energy intensity value is very high, reaching..."

Tang Hongchao explained carefully.

Wang Hao nodded gently after hearing this. He knew that laser weapon technology could only go so far, because the theory was actually very simple. Just because the technology was there, it was very difficult to make a qualitative breakthrough.

He hopes that technology can be greatly improved, for example, releasing a regional and large-scale laser, but he also knows that this is impossible.

Energy is conserved.

If the range of release is too large, the power will be greatly reduced, and it will not even have much impact on the target.

"What should we do if we face a swarm of meteorites or satellite fragments?"

"Could we use other space weapons?"

Wang Hao thought about it carefully for a long time and searched a lot of information, and found that it was difficult for simple space weapons to work.

In the environment of space, many ground weapons will fail.

Generally speaking, space weapons are concepts such as particle weapons, microwave weapons, and kinetic energy weapons. No matter what type of weapons they are, it is difficult to produce a wide range of destructive effects like ground weapons.

Regarding meteorites and satellite fragments, any kind of space weapon has no good characteristics. At most, it can only be used as a supplement to laser weapons.

Finally, Wang Hao returned to the anti-gravity center with thoughts.

The Antigravity Center has been studying gravitational field technology. They announced that the space carrier will introduce gravitational field technology, but in fact, it is difficult to say that gravitational field technology is stable for the time being.

The research team created a gravitational field that is 1.1 times the Earth's gravity, but the basis of the research and manufacturing is the equipment that discovered the gravitational field, which is an improvement based on the underlying structure of the original equipment.

If the power of the device is changed, or the underlying structure is moved, it will be impossible to create a gravitational field.

After the research team built the second device, they found that it was very difficult to create a gravitational field. They debugged it for two weeks before remaking and processing the gravitational field. The debugging process could almost be said to be 'lucky', and it seemed that they just happened to find it. At a certain point, the second device was copied.

This is mainly because there is no theoretical support.

When the gravitational field cannot be known, the research team does not know why, so they can only constantly modify the structure and use a luck-based debugging method, which is often very frustrating.

Only with theoretical support and a true understanding of technical principles can we truly apply gravitational field technology.

Returning to the anti-gravity center this time, Wang Hao was determined to solve this problem.

After arriving at the anti-gravity center, Wang Hao found that Helen and Chen Mengmeng were there, so he asked about the progress of theoretical research.

Helen said seriously, "We carefully analyzed the experimental conditions and related the S wave and co-directional current issues. We believe that the S wave is probably a superposition wave, that is, the S wave appears when two waves are merged together. .”

Wang Hao was stunned for a moment after hearing this.

He didn't pay much attention to it at first, but after Helen finished speaking, he found that the system had correct feedback.

This shows that the research idea is correct.

He immediately said seriously, "This is a very good idea, please explain it carefully."

Helen said, "S wave is based on data analysis, but it may also be the data manifestation of the superposition of two waves."

"The currents in the same direction in both directions are in the opposite regions of the structure. We believe that the waves generated by the currents in the same direction are different."

"These two different waves, superimposed at a certain frequency, jointly create space s-waves."

Wang Hao suddenly laughed with satisfaction, because he got positive feedback again, and couldn't help but curiously asked, "Whose idea was it?"

"It was my idea."

Helen said a little unconfidently, "It was my idea at first, but we also studied it together..."

Wang Hao stood up, reached out and rubbed Helen's hair, and praised, "Helen, you are finally a genius for once!"

"..."

Helen twitched the corner of her mouth hard, turned her head and looked at the others, her eyes seemed to say, "Teacher Wang is praising me, right?"

Ding Zhiqiang and Chen Mengmeng couldn't help laughing.

Huang Xing couldn't help but rectify the injustice and corrected him, "Academician Wang, you are wrong to say that. Helen is a genius!"

Wang Hao nodded in approval, "I said the wrong thing."

Helen looked at Ding Zhiqiang, then at Chen Mengmeng, and finally turned to Huang Xing, nodded seriously and said, "Fortunately I have you!"

"You're welcome……"

"Uh~~~"

Huang Xing thought about it carefully and suddenly felt something was wrong. Was Helen thanking him just now?
