Chapter 404: New technology of annihilation field, Groom Lake plan blocked(2/2)
Among them, a lot of money has been invested in the anti-gravity direction, especially lateral anti-gravity technology and technology. The emergence of the "airship series" aircraft has brought huge pressure.
On the major issue of air supremacy, they naturally have to work hard to catch up.
The American military and related companies have used the research results of the Los Alamos Laboratory to continuously test lateral anti-gravity aircraft, spending countless funds.
The country also supports several scientific research projects, hoping to catch up with flower growers in horizontal anti-gravity.
This research also involves superconducting battery technology.
Lateral anti-gravity technology is relatively good. After investing a lot of money, it has achieved results, and it has been demonstrated that it can be used to manufacture aircraft.
The progress of superconducting battery technology is very slow.
They originally mastered superconducting power storage technology, but they can scale it down from power storage to batteries, and the technical difficulty is basically increasing at an exponential level.
The technology gap is like building a nuclear power plant and a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.
Many countries around the world can build nuclear power plants, but only Amerikan has perfect nuclear-powered aircraft carrier technology.
With the emergence of strong annihilation force field technology, the investment in scientific research funds has become even greater.
Not to mention providing more support to several scientific research institutions, the International Annihilation Theory Organization alone has already confirmed expenditures of nearly 10 billion US dollars.
American has always been supportive of scientific research and development, but even now, it is expected that scientific research funding will increase by more than 25 percent next year.
"If we continue to support the Groom Lake Plan, next year's scientific research funding budget will increase by more than 35 percent."
"This is simply impossible!"
Even Amerikan, which has deep pockets, has extremely limited investment in scientific research funds.
Now that investment in scientific research has taken up funds from other areas, if we add another scientific research plan with a budget of over 100 billion US dollars, funding in many fields will have to be tight.
Who would want to live a frugal life?
The second reason for the senators' objection is that 'it is impossible for flower growers to invest so much money in research on strong annihilation force fields'.
Even if they don't have accurate data in this regard, they also know that the flower growers' investment scale in research on strong annihilation force fields is far from reaching the level of "hundred billion US dollars".
It's impossible for such a large investment to go without any news.
It is impossible to spend a huge amount of funds at the level of "hundred billions of dollars" in secret. For example, it will definitely require large-scale procurement and the gathering of a large team of scientists.
The two combined will definitely leave traces.
The Senate directly rejected the "Groom Lake Plan". Several senior officials and experts had a serious discussion and concluded that "if the plan is to be passed, the funding cannot exceed US$60 billion."
This is very depressing.
When discussing the "Groom Lake Plan", they formulated three research directions. One research direction is the standardized design of the underlying high-pressure hybrid materials.
This research direction refers to the recommendations given by the International Annihilation Theory Organization.
Using standardized manufacturing of the underlying material layout is like manufacturing a large number of Lego parts. The design can be continuously modified to improve the strong annihilation field created.
The advantage of standardized design is that the research direction is very clear, but it also has a big flaw - the required funds are too high.
They plan to spend $70 billion to support standardized design.
The second direction is the conventional route. Creating the 'next generation' equipment can directly increase the strength of the strong annihilation force field.
Under normal circumstances, the intensity of the 'next generation' is about 5 times, and the required funding is about 10 billion US dollars.
If certain results are achieved, we can then support the construction of the ‘next generation’ and slowly increase the technological intensity.
The advantage of the conventional route is that it can be steadily improved, and the required funds are within an acceptable range, but the disadvantage is that the technology improvement speed is too slow.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Finally, there is the direction of new technology.
It is difficult to say what research is going on in this area. Many experts and scholars have proposed new scientific and technological methods. For example, experimentally using metal materials to study superposition force fields, combined with high magnetic field intervention, and more recently, studying strong annihilation force field technology.
Similar statements are very unreliable, but what if it works?
The current intensity carried by metal materials is high, and the intensity of the anti-gravity field created is high. The intensity of the strong annihilation force field created by superposition is naturally higher.
They plan to invest $30 billion in new technology directions.
The total budget for research in the three directions is US$120 billion.
This is still an ‘advance budget’.
Now……
$60 billion?
Not even one standardized direction is enough!
Several senior executives felt a headache.
There is a saying among flower growers, "Poor and lowly couples are in trouble all the time." Insufficient funds also bring many problems.
When it was determined that the funding that could be passed would not exceed US$60 billion, the invited experts started arguing. The reason why there were "three directions" was because the experts had different opinions.
As I said before, with support from all three directions, everyone is naturally in harmony.
Now it is obvious that it can only support one or two directions. What about the direction that is cut off? Of course, you have to fight for it with words!
In the following period, whenever there is a discussion meeting on the "Groom Lake Project", many experts will be heard arguing non-stop.
Everyone feels they are right.
The senior executives participating in the meeting all felt a headache, but they could not make a simple decision...
At this time, they were very envious of the flower growers.
Only one voice, Wang Hao, is involved in relevant research among flower growers. The results and prestige of other people's results are simply incomparable, so naturally there won't be a lot of quarrels.
The problem is that Wang Hao leads the team to do research and can still achieve so many results.
Let’s look at these experts again…
sad!
