Chapter 87 Wave Valley Area
At nine o'clock in the morning, the development meeting on the sun's wreckage was officially held in the Government Conference Room!
For such a big thing, Zhang Ran naturally sat on the rostrum.
The new government's Parliament president, Zhou Chengfeng, sat on his left. The next session is an expert and scholar from all walks of life.
The development of sun wreckage is related to the future of mankind and is also a systematic project.
"Dear ladies and sir, good morning, we must discuss clearly the difficulties and risks of developing sun wrecks in this meeting."
There was nothing nonsense, Zhang Ran said straight to the point: "In the last month, we will reach the edge of the sun's wreckage, that is, the Wave Valley area. It's always nothing wrong to think about it first."
"We have been preparing for this work for a long time and the major laboratories have worked hard for more than a year. Are there any difficulties that are difficult to overcome in principle?"
A slight discussion sounded in the conference room.
Soon, Professor Fan Tianyu from the Ark Laboratory spoke: "Let me say that, the sun's wreckage is actually very thin, but it is a little better than the vacuum... There are actually not many theoretical difficulties. After all, it is just to capture thin matter in space and collect charged particles with strong magnetic fields."
"But there are many difficulties in practical application."
"The first is the vision problem. Without the sun, our current observation ability has been greatly weakened."
"The strongest light we emit cannot be compared with the sun."
"If we use a more vivid metaphor, we are like a paramecium, slowly crawling into our city hall, and the city hall did not turn on the lights, and it was pitch black. So paramecium could only turn on its own lights and illuminate the 1 micron space around it."
"That's about what it means..."
"Because the relatively dense material in the Wave Valley, if a high-speed meteorite with a diameter of 1 cm happens to hit the spacecraft that collects the material, its power is no less than a shell."
"If a 10-centimeter meteorite hits a spacecraft, it is no different from a high-explosive bomb attack. This is the first major risk brought by a decrease in observation ability. Our spacecraft is easily destroyed."
"Is there a solution?" Zhang Ran asked.
Professor Fan shrugged: "Of course...a stronger energy, stronger magnetic field, brighter light, expand our vision. It is certain to do a miracle."
Lin Qiuyue sat in the middle of the first row, nodded slightly, and did not speak.
There is naturally a reason why she sat in the first row, because the nuclear fusion project of Oriental Laboratory has been progressing very quickly this year!
Currently, it has been discharged stably for 2,000 seconds.
This duration almost rises in an exponential form, and it can double it by about every two months.
This rapid progress can be said to be another Moore's law.
According to the current progress, after a year, the steady discharge will be 128,000 seconds, and you will almost be able to leave the laboratory and build a demonstration stack.
She is quite confident about this.
Professor Fan continued: "The second difficulty is that the capture of thin materials in space requires the use of strong magnetic field materials."
"But it is meaningless to capture sails that are too small. One square or two square meters of area cannot capture too much material. At least one square kilometer of area is needed to capture enough space material so that we can make a comeback as soon as possible."
"This kind of sail can be very thin, just a layer of film material."
"There is a large amount of helium-3 in the nebula matter, which is the main fuel for the next generation of nuclear fusion."
"The third difficulty point is the big spacecraft! We need a bigger big spacecraft as the main base for the real universe."
"The current Ark is not capable of meeting the needs...it is at least 10 times the performance of the large spacecraft."
Zhang Ran understood what the other party meant and made money!
Technically, there seems to be no problem, and lack of money is the biggest problem.
He grabbed his hair and wanted to use my creative energy, which made him a headache!
Only 1450 creative energy!
As for the next era... it can only be dependent on nuclear fusion being completed earlier.
Since the completion of the government reform, in principle, Zhang Ran's creative ability is no longer used for people's livelihood, but only for military and scientific research.
Currently, he is only willing to invest in high-end raw materials because it is cheap to invest in raw materials and has a high cost performance. For example, high-purity crystals and 1 point of creation energy can produce high-end chips of hundreds of thousands, which is very cost-effective.
Or high-precision instruments that humans cannot manufacture at present, such as various devices in large tokamaks.
Now, with the recovery of industry, the number of technological products that humans can make themselves is gradually increasing. Since humans can produce them themselves, why do I invest in them? It directly creates a spaceship? What you think is beautiful!
As he thought about it, he felt a little painful again.
Forget it, it’s not easy for everyone to be generous, just 50, and you can allocate up to 50 Creative Energy!
If there are more, it won’t work. If technology advances in the future, this thing will become more and more valuable.
The creation ability of subspace is proportional to the level of civilization.
If it were in ancient times, 1 point of creation energy might only be able to produce 1 ton of steel; now 100 million tons of steel can be produced, which is the qualitative change caused by the change of civilization level.
When nuclear fusion comes out, it will definitely be a great breakthrough. Maybe there will be a qualitative change again?
So, it’s not that Zhang Ran is stingy, but that he really wants to leave energy for the future.
The future is long, and now it is squandered. What should I do if a crisis occurs in the future?
...
After Professor Fan finished speaking, everyone began to publish some technical details, including superconducting magnets, critical temperatures, critical magnetic fields, and critical current density. As long as they are not very professional terms, they can still barely understand them.
Finally, everyone still believes that magnets made of graphene are cheap and efficient, and are the best material for material capture sails.
Every time the matter capture sail is turned on, it can attract charged particles within a radius of 5 kilometers, and it can capture 600 grams of matter in about an hour.
Is it 600 grams per hour?
Zhang Ran really doesn't know what to say. There is only such a big drum and drum...
However, it is so difficult to salvage the sun's wreckage. In addition, the capture of sails can be used for a long time, so as long as the cost can be recovered, there is no big problem.
After that, Professor Huo Dong, who is specialized in the research of the high-dimensional universe, said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Everyone, please be quiet. We must not only discuss technical difficulties, but also discuss possible dangers!"
"The gathering of sun wreckage is caused by a space folding phenomenon called "Wave Valley".
"In areas close to the broken space, the space curvature is more complex, unlike normal space, it is smooth."
"Some places there may be natural gravity, just like waves, with high curvature in the middle and low curvature on both sides, so 2.3 earth-mass matter is retained at the 'low bottom'."
"Due to the wave valley phenomenon, the space in this area is extremely fragile, and vacuum decay occurs at any time, and the entire area falls into high-dimensional space."
