309 Towards the Starry Sky
When Yifan and Feng Jingting walked out of the world, Feng Jingting raised their heads seriously and searched around the sky. Yifan also followed his appearance and looked up. He found nothing except the stars in the sky. 3∴35686688lingdiankans
Suddenly, Ivan noticed that a small red dot that shone slightly and was flashing at the same time appeared in a whole static spot of light. Against the background of the starry sky, this red dot moved at a uniform speed. "Is it it?" Ivan pointed to the little red dot and asked.
Feng Jingting glanced at it, smiled and shook his head, "No, this is just an ordinary passenger plane. The movement speed of the Kite II is much smaller than that, and it doesn't look so obvious. According to the scheduled acceleration plan, it may take another half an hour before we can see its shadow on the horizon."
The Kite Type II is a space station that Carmel assembled last year. It borrowed the technology of several space powers and some latest technologies. After entering orbit, the space station basically achieved no need to maintain communication with the ground. In other words, unlike the Carmel plane, it requires magic to continuously maintain air. The power of the space station uses traditional solar power generation. Because the solar power generation efficiency in space is high, and the Kite Type II almost does not need to consider the quality cost. The entire outer wall of the Kite Type II is almost covered with solar cells, and the total power generation power is enough to maintain the daily lives of hundreds of scientific researchers in the space station, as well as for experimental projects.
As the first spacecraft with long-term living as the experimental purpose, and also has kite type one as a lesson for the past, kite type two adopted a more conservative solution than kite type one in ecological simulation. The kite type one took too much steps. When I first went to heaven, I simply built it as an ecosystem. I almost thought of any seaweed or green leafy plants. But after going to heaven, the air quality deteriorated sharply in less than a week. After half a month, the oxygen content was even small enough that even mice could not bear it. I took it for granted before and reached a perfect balance by photosynthesis and respiration, which completely failed.
The Kite II space station uses chemical methods to solve the carbon dioxide produced by respiration, while oxygen is completed by electrolyzing water. In this way, although the expected "** survival" effect cannot be achieved, at least it can be done by replenishing absorbents, food and water, and the entire space station can maintain operation for about half a year.
Unlike the usual space station, Kite II space station is the largest spacecraft in space currently in humans. It also has a certain orbital maneuverability because it carries enough mass. In the positioning stage, Kite II will generally float above the African equator, which is synchronized with the rotation of the earth. However, if there is a mission, such as this time, it can also actively accelerate and decelerate, change orbits, and change from a synchronous space station to asynchronous. This orbit change may mean huge consumption for other satellites, but for Carmel, it is just a slight increase in magic consumption and some aviation fuel.
If the starry sky is compared to the ocean, the second type of kite is almost the most primitive làng board. Although it is still a long way from truly exploring the ocean, this is at least the beginning.
While waiting, the two were walking and chatting in the city. In the square in the city center, Ivan found that there were still many people who had not dispersed here, and some reporters were still staying here dedicatedly. After all, there has not been a result of the multi-national meeting yet, and news may appear at any time. The two of them just took a few glances from a distance and did not go in. If they go in, this is another news itself.
When the kite type 2 appeared on the horizon, no one in the whole city noticed it. Even Yifan, who had been observing it deliberately, only after Feng Jingting's guidance, could barely see that the kite type 2 was not bright, and it could even be said to be a little dim. If you want to calculate the magnitude, it would be as high as the level of two or three. Just like other stars, if you observe carefully, you will find that due to the boo movement of the atmosphere, its bright light seemed to be blinking and flashing irregularly. However, if you are a slightly professional astronomical person or have learned some astronomical knowledge, it should not be difficult to find that it is an artificial aircraft, because in the background of the starry sky, its relative position with other stars is always changing.
The famous philosopher Kant once said that there are two things in this world that deserve his awe. The starry sky above his head and the morality in his heart. Although Ivan disagrees with morality, he is always curious about the starry sky. After all, in his original world, because the entire planet has been passive, the original world has been blocked, and the sky has only one pure darkness. txt e-book download**
After more than an hour of slow "flying", the kite type II came to the northward direction of the city of Ménggo, and gradually entered a slowing state. When it finally stopped completely and was completely hushed with other stars in the sky, Feng Jingting reminded Yifan to "pay attention."
A few minutes later, Ivan was surprised to see that a thin, faint red light extended below the kite type 2. From a distance, the red light seemed to be a kite string that was traction of the kite type 2. Feng Jingting told Ivan that this is the latest light signal transmission system. Through this visual light, the satellite can efficiently exchange information with the ground station in the weather. The speed is almost comparable to that of the optical fiber. The signal docking just now was that the final location of the kite type 2 and the ground station were confirmed, and the ground station was led by the ground station to make the final fine adjustment. After this adjustment, the kite type 2 will stop again, and the relevant magic staff will reopen the space mén - during the flight of the space station, the space mén leading to the kite type 2 is closed.
Five minutes later, at the first floor of the world point, Feng Jingting and Yifan officially entered the interior of the Kite Type 2 from the space mén. When they entered, they also found that some space station staff were also preparing to go home by the way. Most of these staff members were from all over the world, countries and fields, engaged in scientific research on the space station. Because of this unexpected adjustment, many of their scientific research projects needed to be terminated unexpectedly. Therefore, going back for a vacation is a good choice for many of them. After all, from here to their city, it is just a few steps away.
The second type of kite adopts a design similar to Fengjing stop station, but has made stricter and more detailed regulations in terms of structural strength and air tightness. The outer layer is not as bare as the Carmel Space Station, but like a hedgehog, with equipment all over the body. When Yifan followed Feng Jingting into the main control room, he saw that the whole room was related to these equipment, with dense control buttons. More than a dozen left-behind scientific researchers were sitting together and holding a dinner party. Some of them knew Feng Jingting or were from the Chinese. When they saw him, they shouted, "Minister Feng, are you always here to inspect the work?"
Feng Jingting walked over, patted his head with a smile, and then turned to Yifan to introduce, "This is a classmate when he was studying for a master's degree, Ma Bin, who is also a student of high-energy physics like me."
Then he turned around and introduced everyone here in English. "I think everyone knows this, and I won't introduce it much, Ivan."
At the previous kite type 2 "hair shè" ceremony, Ivan appeared in front of these staff members and personally presided over the casting of the spell, sending the space station on track.
After Feng Jingting introduced, a bearded European stood up and said to Ivan, "I am a German. Although I personally do not agree with the consciousness network, I still want to say that the existence of magic has indeed brought greatness to the world. Thank you for your magic."
Ivan glanced at him and answered "Thank you." After saying that, he paid a little attention to the crowd present. As he knew before, only two of the dozen scientists were wearing communicators, and these two communicators were still closed. The consciousness network is not popular among people with high-education, at least at present, which is an indisputable fact.
Perhaps because he noticed Ivan's vision, the two people with communicators said embarrassedly, "We are all maintenance engineers on this spacecraft, this... is just a tool for our work."
Ivan shook his head, "You don't need to explain anything. I don't require everyone to join the consciousness network. I can understand that the world of science is enough to be satisfied with this kind of lottery and not be disturbed by other things. This is also a kind of luck. If everyone on the earth can be like you, then the consciousness network will not be necessary."
After a while of greeting with the group of people, Feng Jingting said goodbye to the group of people and roughly visited the structure of the entire space station. In the dormitory area where the staff used to sleep, Feng Jingting also found several members of the Guards arranged by Carmel on the space station, asking them to increase the level of safety alert from now on, pay attention to every suspicious person, and know that the two left.
These soldiers exist here as security and protection, and can also be regarded as Carmel's "garrison". After all, in terms of ownership, this space station belongs to Carmel, and even on the outer layer of the space station, Carmel's national flag is painted. After several soldiers confirmed to Anna that Feng Jingting's order was effective, they each released the space eye and began to monitor the entire space station's every move.
As the preparations were completed, Feng Jingting and Yifan randomly found a chair to sit down, and closed their eyes at the same time. In the dark space, an invisible space eye passed through the wall of the space station and sank into the boundless space.
...
In space, without the interference of air, many things gradually emerged from their original appearance. It is late at night in Chad, but Ivan could still see a slightly transparent golden edge on the side of the earth because of the sunshine. Another part of the sunlight hits the moon behind them. The originally warm and gorgeous sunshine actually turned out to the coldness of the moonlight. Looking around, at the end of the endless sky, countless shining bright stars were like diamonds, turning out to intoxicating light.
In space, the stars are the eternal visual background, and stars are the main theme of the material world. Only by personally lying in this world, feeling the huge mass of matter, and under the influence of physical rules, can people most directly feel what the rule that the Lord truly controls the universe.
If the four basic forces of the universe are divided according to the scope, sensoryly, strong nuclear forces and weak nuclear forces basically only act on the inside of atoms. The former is a chain that bonds the nucleus and binds protons and neutrons together. It makes the atoms extremely stable, so that only by putting them in the extreme high temperature of a star can the strong constraints be broken, while the latter is like a prisoner who escapes from the junction of this chain. Its existence prevents the nucleus from expanding infinitely. When its structure is large enough, it will quickly collapse due to decay.
The force that is truly closely related to human activities is also the world that human eyes and senses truly feel is a world composed of electromagnetic forces. It is precisely because of its existence that this colorful world is created. Electromagnetic force repels atoms and makes them "ignite" because they cannot get too close, but to a certain extent, it attracts them to each other. Therefore, we can see that this world is not like sand, and forms mutually exclusive individuals.
But if we want to talk about the king who maintains the movement of stars in this universe, the human eye has to go back to the beginning of the 17th century. The most famous scientist discovered the gravity and the real material force. If we look at it alone, the gravity seems to be useless. For example, even if all 6 billion people on the earth are concentrated together, the gravity generated is not enough to pull an ant. But the real terrible thing about gravity is that all forces are superimposed between each other. Theoretically, in a universe, the final direction of gravity is the mass center of this universe. Without the effect of the expansion of the universe, it is almost certain that the entire universe will eventually be compressed to an infinitely small point under the action of gravity.
Which of the two is stronger? Who will win the game between space and matter at the cosmic level? So far, the scientific community has not been able to give a unified answer. The general view is that if the power of space is better, the universe will eventually expand and move towards heat silence, and space will achieve the final victory.
However, this kind of space power is essentially derived from the beginning of the universe. The space explosion is also called the Big Bang. This power is essentially a natural force, but the existence of magic has made this natural force possible for human use. 6 billion "natural people" may not be able to change an ant, but only one or two billion "conscious people" can change the small world where they live. The active consciousness of life comes from this world, but it arrogantly wants to change this world. This point has been destined since hundreds of thousands of years ago when ancient humans first learned to fight with bāngzi.
The essence of this "magic project" is to create a series of spaces at specific distances outside the earth's atmosphere. The function of these spaces is not to transport other items to live, but simply to collect sunlight to appropriately reduce the temperature in the Sahara region.
Calculated from this "engineering volume", if you want to achieve the expected effect, at least you need to reduce the current Sahara Desert area, plus the total intensity of light received in Chad, about one-third, while the total area of Sahara is 7.7 million square kilometers. In other words, the total shielding area of the space cast this time needs to reach more than three million square kilometers. The concept of this area is almost equivalent to one-third of the size of Chinese territory.
Since this plan is being promoted as a project, the practice can naturally not be forced to do it as before. In fact, Ivan is just trying to do it now. This consciousness network with less than 200 million members is not enough to support such large-scale consumption. The magic part has calculated this before. If the casting scale of space mén continues to expand, it can reduce the power consumption of magic to a certain extent. This is like the average power generation cost of large power plants is always much lower than that of small power plants. But as long as this scale is on a certain order of magnitude (the test data of Carmel Magic Laboratory is that the area is more than 20 square kilometers), the effect of increasing the scale and reducing costs will decrease to an almost negligible number, and the cost will be almost maintained at an average consumption of one forest per 10 square meters. One square kilometers is 10,000 forests, and three million square kilometers, which will require 300 million forests...
Even in a country with a strong power, a project cannot be expected to be completed within one day. Moreover, because the area affected by this project is too large, it is better to try to slow down if possible. If you find anything wrong here, you can make up for it in time.
Feng Jingting and Yifan came here more importantly to inspect the actual "construction site". According to Feng Jingting's plan, it is best to be outside the synchronous orbit. The insurance calculation is best to be 40,000 kilometers away from the ground. That is to say, the target area of the construction must be nearly 5,000 kilometers away from the Kite Type 2, because only in this way can these spaces be prevented from causing accidents to the satellite. In this way, the cost of "construction" will be further increased, because the relationship between the casting distance and the consumption of magic is almost proportional.
Fortunately, these "space shading" spaces do not need to be as effective and safe as the ground-based spaces, as long as the structure is generally correct, so the quality requirements for "construction personnel" are not very high. According to the current statistics of magic management, Carmel currently has a population of 300,000, plus Chad's more than 13 million people (more than 3 million are foreign immigrants in recent years, and the ratio of immigrants to Chad and Carmel is almost 10 to 1). There are almost 200,000 people who hold space criterion (that is, they can basically use) or above, and even at level B (skilled use), there are more than 5,000 people. According to Feng Jingting's calculation, the construction of the entire project cannot require a total of more than 200 people. It can be said that from the perspective of human resources reserve, Carmel is more than enough.
The current problem is that Carmel needs to compress magic consumption as much as possible while ensuring the "engineering effect". For this reason, Feng Jingting also needs to pre-cast the target spellcast area and issue a place that can be used as a "temporary construction site". Carmel cannot really make people stand 5,000 kilometers away from the earth. Therefore, the current reality is that Carmel needs to build such a spacecraft with basic "navigation" function to stop at a distance of 40,000 kilometers from the earth. Because of construction, this spacecraft needs to accommodate 200 people for food, clothing, housing and transportation. Due to the earth's revolution, it is necessary to ensure that this "space" must also be as constant as Carmel's spaces, as it is in Carmel's spaces, and at any time. More importantly, during the entire construction process, the spacecraft must also constantly move its position and stay still with the earth.
Ivan was not worried about magic. In fact, keeping the space mén in circular motion is just a few parameters. The earth's orbit is almost a fixed parameter. This is not difficult to do, but the difficulty is that it is somewhat difficult to keep this "construction ship" moving during construction. You must know that the earth's revolution speed is 30 kilometers per second!
This means that the construction ship must keep flying at this speed during the construction period. If this can be done, it will be a qualified planetary spacecraft!
Can Carmel do this? To be honest, Feng Jingting felt unsure.
From the perspective of technological level alone, Carmel is not much higher than on the earth. It can even be said that in aerospace technology, which requires a large amount of technical accumulation, it is still several orders of magnitude behind them. With Chad's industrial level, the current space stations built now cannot be guaranteed, let alone other things. If it weren't for "magic entry into orbit" that could greatly reduce the cost of space and the technical support of other countries, the current Kite II cannot be used at all. If it is Carmel's solemn work, even if it is forced to be sent into orbit, the spacecraft will disintegrate due to internal and external pressure. Feng Jingting once said bluntly that Chad's current industrial level, if it is built a ship, it will have to fall apart when it is launched. If it is built a car, it will have to break down on the road.
But difficulties have never been a factor that hinders human progress. Being able to see humans enter the solar system era and see the spacecraft that truly sails in the universe can be said to be Feng Jingting's greatest long-cherished wish in his life. Now he finally has such an opportunity to come into contact with this dream. He will never give up before he really exhausts his hope.
