Chapter 270 Spacesuit Protection Layer
"Spraying iron powder is to verify the magnetic field. After all, it is extremely difficult to directly observe the magnetic field and is not accurate. However, through extremely small iron filings, the magnetic field can be easily observed, and it is conducive to judging the strength of the magnetic field." Li Yuzhang explained when he saw the confused expressions of several people around him.
In this virtual laboratory, I saw iron powder like water mist suddenly spraying out, filling the entire room. In an instant, a few outsiders wanted to close their mouths. The fine iron powder was like flying flour.
"Haha..." Seeing the appearance of several people, some experts in the laboratory started to laugh.
"You guys, just breathe with confidence. This is from the virtual laboratory. Just project the other side 100% over, and everything is a light and shadow effect." Seeing the appearance of several people, Li Yuzhang kindly reminded this.
Oh... the four people were so angry that they blushed.
But no wonder the four people. The simulation technology here is more advanced than the ones outside. It is caught off guard and makes people think it is a real experimental environment. Is it understandable?
With the injection of iron filings, a large number of tiny iron powder are magnetized in the air, forming thin lines that are weaker than hair, which are actually supported in the air out of thin air, as if it is a three-dimensional lantern-like network growing in the air.
"Please look, compared to electromagnets, the middle of this magnetic field is empty."
Sure enough, under the guidance of Li Yuzhang, the four of them found that there was a blank area of about one meter near the sphere, and there was almost no iron powder.
Before these people could ask, Li Yuzhang began to explain: "In fact, the reason is very simple, that is, the liquid metal sodium also has its own magnetic field during rotation, and the two magnetic fields cancel each other out, which becomes the current situation. Of course, we are also studying this mechanism, and we have no idea yet.
Normally, magnetic fields will intersect each other, just like water wisps; but the magnetic fields here cancel each other out of thin air, as if they disappear out of thin air.
But I believe that once this phenomenon is thoroughly studied, it will bring us huge benefits. First of all, we don’t need this huge, bloated, energy-consuming and dangerous magnetic field generator. This thing, because there are also a large number of high-speed rotating liquid metal sodium, even if it uses new materials unique to experts, it still cannot guarantee 100% safety.
Okay, we will conduct the second test next, which is the protection effect of charged particles.
According to existing research, the main components of cosmic radiation, solar storms, etc., can be said to be the most common harmful components, are charged particles. Therefore, we use lasers to detect protective capabilities.
The first step is normal sunlight intensity.”
During this period, the magnetic field generator has been restarted and the iron filings have been taken away by the wind.
A ray of light shines on the magnetic field; however, this ray of light does not directly shine on the magnetic field generator, but is twisted, as if the light illuminates into the water for refraction. But this time, everyone saw a phenomenon that is more beautiful than refraction.
When the light rays hit the magnetic field, it instantly looks like ink dripping into water, and begins to show radioactive scattering. Under the action of the magnetic field, the charged particles deflect, and only a small amount of gentle light shines on the surface of the generator. Most of them form a beautiful halo in the magnetic field, just like the aurora of the earth. There are also two faint light rays that are ejected from the poles of the generator, and a small amount of transmissing through the magnetic field will spread to the rear of the generator.
At the same time, colorful colors also envelope the generator, bringing a dreamlike beauty.
"So beautiful!" The four viewers were stunned by the beauty in front of them.
What is even more surprising is that it belongs to researchers, especially Li Yuzhang. "Big discovery, big discovery! The protection ability of this magnetic field is beyond our thinking! Moreover, I think I have seen another application of magnetic field!
Quickly, increase the brightness and use ten times the intensity of sunlight!”
Ten times the intensity of sunlight still does not penetrate the magnetic field, and the beautiful light reaction is even more beautiful.
100 times!
There is still no magnetic field shot through, but the current magnetic field generation device seems to have transformed into a bead, dazzling. It is the light separated by the magnetic field. There are two bright single rays of light that eject from the poles, carrying a scorching high temperature.
"I think I've seen another laser cannon technology! It's going to be a terrifying technology and can be integrated with the magnetic field generator."
Next, current sites of different intensities were tested, etc., and even a low-intensity solar magnetic storm was simulated. All tests showed that this device was enough to be near the earth's orbit to protect the safety of the space shuttle. The energy consumption was a bit large, especially when resisting the solar magnetic storm, the energy consumption exceeded the energy consumption of 5.6 million kWh.
"This technology is very good, it is really suitable for protecting fragile space shuttles and conducting long-term explorations in the sky. That is, the energy consumption is a bit high!" Liu Haibo was very excited. The expert company solved such a problem. However, energy consumption is a new problem! In space, the position of energy is definitely the first.
"Ahem!" Li Yuzhang was very dissatisfied with these guys' provocations. "In terms of battery, the company is working on key issues, and the third-generation battery technology should be fast."
"Hehe, then I'll be relieved!" Liu Haibo smiled heartlessly.
"Okay, come with me and I will take you to see the most advanced magnetic field generator, which is a tiny device that can be implanted in a helmet as a protective device for the space suit. It is a new gift for your expedition team. With it, you can work safely where you leave the Earth's magnetic field without worrying about the unpredictable radiation in the universe."
"That's great!" Liu Haibo rubbed his hands with anticipation. Even Li Canglan, who was quieter next to him, was the same. As an astronaut, he understood too much the harm of space radiation. Why does ultraviolet rays have a bactericidal effect? It is the power of radiation! The radiation in space is many times more powerful than ultraviolet rays. Without protection, it can easily penetrate the steel plate of ten centimeters thick, and it will not weaken too much. Powerful radiation can cause DNA mutations and trigger unpredictable crises.
After layers of inspection, we came to a laboratory that was more deeply underground by 100 meters; however, even here, we could only view the advanced technology in the safe room of holographic projection. Because although this extremely advanced magnetic field generator is good, it is also more dangerous and has the characteristics of being difficult to control.
Li Yuzhang actively introduced: "This magnetic field generation device imitates Jupiter's magnetic field. Jupiter has the most powerful ordered magnetic field in the solar system. Its magnetic field influence range can extend to Saturn's orbit, and its magnetic field strength is more than 20,000 times that of the earth. But it is well known that Jupiter is a gaseous planet, and according to existing theoretical calculations, Jupiter does not have a solid core.
Until recently, this principle was solved theoretically. That is, the study believes that at the core of Jupiter, it is a changing hydrogen atomic matter that rotates at high speed.
Under pressure more than 150 times the core of the earth, hydrogen will be compressed to its limit and then suddenly becomes a substance with metal properties. We call it "metal hydrogen". In the production of magnetic fields, it has properties that far exceed iron.
Because, it can rotate around itself. And what we are studying now is this technology.
However, the experimental conditions are extremely harsh now. It is possible to maintain such pressure by using high pressure and more than 3,000 laser irradiation; in the experimental environment, humans themselves are difficult to get close to. However, according to the current research and development progress, within half a year, we will hope to apply it to spacesuits."
