Chen Jiahe approached the science and technology department in the hope of reducing the number of personnel allocated. When he learned that Wang Hao's team had developed a light pressure engine and had entered the design stage, he naturally could only return with disappointment.
After returning to the space agency, I felt even more depressed.
Director Zheng was in charge of personnel deployment. He complained to Chen Jiahe, "Many people have signed up for the confidential project of the Annihilation Technology Department, including Director Kong."
He then followed up, "But that's right. If it were me... I'd also sign up. That's Academician Wang Hao's project. I'd rather be gold-plated in the past."
"The last big project was nuclear fusion. I have the experience of participating in the development of mankind's first controlled nuclear fusion device. Speaking of which, it is very impressive..."
Chen Jiahe became even more depressed after hearing this.
Kong Libin is the person in charge of aerospace materials research and development and a materials academician of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Even he shamelessly signed up. You can imagine how enthusiastic others were.
To put it bluntly, everyone wants to go.
Among them, those who are qualified must be top scholars in the aerospace materials department, who must have worked as researchers for at least five years. The project also has age requirements for personnel, and the maximum cannot exceed fifty years old.
Each of these researchers is a mainstay in the field of aerospace materials.
For example, Kong Libin.
He happens to be fifty years old. But aerospace materials are definitely a niche among niches.
Everyone wants to go, and those who are qualified to go are all aerospace material experts.
Experts in aerospace materials, rare.
Materials science is a major category of scientific research, while aerospace materials are a niche within a niche. The main reason is that their applications are very limited. Only space projects such as satellites, rockets, and space stations can use aerospace materials.
Because it is a small category, top talents are very rare.
"These people have been deployed, but I don't know when they will come back." Director Zheng shook his head as he said, "Will it affect our next work?"
"It's hard to say."
Chen Jiahe is very favored by Teacher Zhu, but in fact, he is only the head of a department under the space agency and has no right to interfere in other work.
He could only go to Teacher Zhu.
Teacher Zhu had a surprised expression on his face when he heard Chen Jiahe's report, "The light pressure engine project has entered the design stage?"
He was indeed very surprised.
Teacher Zhu knows about annihilation particle technology, and has also heard about the 'light pressure engine', and of course the rumored 'space carrier'.
I originally thought it was all about future technological development, but I never thought that the core engine technology had already entered the design stage.
Chen Jiahe said, "I also find it incredible. Light pressure engine? It is simply impossible to realize."
Teacher Zhu did not deny it, but asked, "What about our research? The next step is to improve the airship flying saucer and create a spacecraft that surpasses the performance of the space shuttle, right?"
"Is this research ready? When will it enter the design and manufacturing stage?"
Chen Jiahe opened his mouth but didn't speak for a long time.
"What do you mean?" Teacher Zhu urged.
"this……"
Chen Jiahe said hesitantly, "It's too early to design and manufacture. We are making preparations now and are communicating with the airship manufacturing factory and the R&D department."
"In the follow-up, we will analyze and study the main technologies."
"Many people will participate. We must first master lateral antigravity and superconducting battery technology. The two technologies are integrated."
"The argument will be prepared later..."
Teacher Zhu knows that the normal process is like this. The basis for their research is using technology from other departments, so they must digest the technical content first.
However, I still feel very depressed.
Also doing research in the aerospace direction, Wang Hao's team has developed a "science fiction-like" light pressure engine and has entered the design stage.
They are only making improvements in the direction of aerospace on the basis of airships and flying saucers. The big technology is to expand the space and add Hall thrusters. As a result, it will take who knows how long it will take for their research to enter the demonstration stage.
The gap between the two sides is also too great.
That day, the space agency held an internal meeting. At the meeting, Teacher Zhu asked all departments to report on their work. Finally, he lost his temper and said, "Still preparing! Still communicating!"
"What is your work efficiency?"
"Are we short of funds or manpower? Why does it take so long to communicate and you can't even understand other people's technology?"
"You are all just messing around!"
"If anyone doesn't want to work anymore, he should take the initiative to step down and retire, and let young people with more energy come up. Don't just stand in the pit without shit!"
Everyone who attended the meeting was reprimanded and felt very depressed.
Teacher Zhu is also very depressed.
He admires Wang Hao very much and thinks that Wang Hao is the top genius. He conducts research related to annihilation physics, allowing flower growers to achieve a far lead in cutting-edge technology, directly reversing the disadvantages of top technology, and doing research very fast.
.
In another hundred years, he believed that Wang Hao would become a 'sage'-like figure.
When conducting research in the same field, Teacher Zhu felt very depressed. They could not be said to be competitors. The pressure from Wang Hao was still so great that he felt that the space agency could be disbanded.
The research they do can all be classified as "second-rate technology" and does not seem to make much sense at all.
How scary would it be if it were a competitor?
It’s unimaginable!
…
Teacher Zhu spoke out Empoli-Cubo’s thoughts.
With the support of the new decision-maker, the Groom Lake Project Organization reinvested in the research of the DC annihilation force field.
The research team is united and united, hoping to make a breakthrough in the DC direction.
The results are pretty good too.
Their research has made progress, using high-temperature superconducting materials to create a DC anti-gravity field, but the strength is a bit pitiful.
"0.21 percent."
Cooper almost wants to cry when he talks about this number, but it is also the only progress they have made recently.
The first technological breakthrough is very important. It is equivalent to achieving zero breakthrough, but the intensity of the field force created is so low that it cannot be said at all.
If this result is published, not many people will pay attention to it, and it will even attract a lot of ridicule.
Mainly because the results disclosed by the Antigravity Behavior Research Center are certain to create an annihilation force field with a power exceeding 20 times.
The difference between an anti-gravity field of 0.21% and an annihilation force field of more than 20 times cannot be justified.
“It’s just too expensive to do research on high-temperature hybrid materials.”
Corot-James also lamented, "There is definitely no problem with our research direction, but each experiment consumes too much money."
"To date, it has exceeded US$1 billion."
"If we want to produce considerable research results, the remaining funds will definitely not be enough, and we must invest more."
Cooper curled his lips, "Do you think the new policymakers will raise funds in the short term? US$55 billion... the plan can be said to have failed."
Corot-James shook his head and changed the subject, "There is still too little support. We don't have many usable metallic superconducting materials."
"yes!"
Kubo also sighed.
In fact, they most hope to use metallic superconducting materials containing first-order silver. First-order silver is also the only 'beta element material' that can be purchased in large quantities.
With beta element materials, there is hope to create a high-strength annihilation force field.
This is the consensus in the academic field.
However, superconducting materials cannot be used casually, especially newly developed superconducting materials. Most of them can only rely on their own research groups to develop them.
Everyone knows that superconducting technology is the future.
Many large material companies are using first-order silver to develop new superconducting materials, but they will not give it to the Groom Lake Project team unconditionally.
There are ownership issues involved.
