Regarding the take-off and landing test experiment of the light pressure engine, most public opinions at home and abroad were surprised and praised, but there were also many international media who talked about other issues from a unique perspective.
For example, there is a saying that creating strong light sources will accelerate global warming.
"The strong light source produced by the light pressure engine is similar to sunlight and is pure light energy."
"The total amount of light energy radiated from the sun to the earth every year is stable, and the light pressure engine will release additional light energy, which will directly lead to accelerated global changes."
"This could have a devastating impact on the Earth's environment."
"Spaceship Industries is not thinking about that."
"International environmental organizations should come forward to conduct a detailed investigation and limit the heat emission indicators when the light pressure engine is started..."
This statement has a certain logic, because the light pressure engine does create a strong light source, which can indeed accelerate global warming to a certain extent.
But the problem is that the engine releases pure light energy and does not involve greenhouse gas emissions, so there is no subsequent impact.
In addition, the efficiency of the light pressure engine is very high, and the total power released as heat when turned on is only equivalent to a few large rockets with a load of more than 100 tons.
Calculated as a whole, the impact on global warming when the light pressure engine is turned on is not even comparable to that of a small thermal power station (thermal power plants emit greenhouse gases).
Another puzzling theory is that the center of the light pressure engine will create an environment similar to the core of the sun.
Because of this, the engine is able to create a large amount of pure light.
"If you increase the power further, you may create a black hole that absorbs matter, and everything around it will collapse toward the center of the light pressure engine."
"The earth is in danger of destruction..."
This statement only made scholars take a look at it, but it has won the support of many ordinary people. In some countries, there were rallies and protests, shouting slogans calling for the suspension of the research and development of light pressure engines.
That of course makes no sense.
Statements like Angle Qingqi all come from international media.
at the same time.
Amrican's decision-makers are the most anxious. The successful test of the light pressure engine makes them feel anxious. The main impact is on competition in the space field.
In the competition in the space field, Amerikan has always had an advantage.
For example, they have the most complete space monitoring system, which relies on a large number of satellites launched into space.
According to statistics, Amerikan has 5,277 satellites, most of which are commercial and military satellites, including the famous GPS navigation satellites.
They are still continuing to launch satellites on a large scale, hoping to build a broader satellite network and further seize space resources.
This plan has been in progress, but it suffered a cross-dimensional blow.
The flower grower directly built a super big guy, with a diameter of 120 meters and a rough estimate of weight of more than 10,000 tons, maybe even tens of thousands of tons. It also used light pressure engine technology that was unimaginable.
This kind of big guy that can achieve self-sufficiency in energy has no rivals in space. No matter how many satellites are launched, it is meaningless to seize more resources.
When the time comes, the opponent will be able to start a space battle!
How to deal with it?
Americen's decision-makers held several meetings in a row to discuss related issues. "The research on the light pressure engine is going very well. Being able to fly proves that high-altitude flight is not far away."
"If high-altitude flight is achieved, space flight is not far away..."
"To target light pressure engines or possible future ultra-large-scale spacecraft, we can only use close-to-Earth destruction methods."
"This kind of spacecraft with almost unlimited energy will definitely be equipped with protective weapons. If it reaches space, it will not be destroyed..."
Everyone else nodded unequivocally to this.
The most high-end missiles can pose a direct threat to satellites in space, but they are aimed at satellites that cannot change their trajectory. When the missile flies into space, its speed will become very slow, and it has no penetrating power or accuracy.
It is also very low. If the spacecraft has a weapon system, it can think of countless ways to deal with ground missiles.
"It doesn't make much sense to destroy it close to the ground."
"We are not in a war to destroy humanity. The most important thing is deterrence."
"If we want to have deterrence, unless we use the same technology, for example, we can also build a spacecraft that is energy self-sufficient..."
Someone immediately suggested, "Maybe we should restart the nuclear-powered space shuttle program?"
This proposal was immediately rejected.
Their aerospace development history has shown that space shuttles have many shortcomings, not to mention nuclear-powered space shuttles, which will have countless problems when they are manufactured.
Then in the end there is only one way to go, "We need to have the same technology."
This is the key.
After holding many meetings in a row, the No. 1 decision-maker found that it was time to return to the original path, "We must master the regional strong annihilation field technology."
"Only by mastering the regional strong annihilation force field technology can we study annihilation particle technology and create a large number of first-order materials..."
"The intelligence department must hurry up. The nuclear organization needs more relevant information."
American is an important participant in the nuclear organization and can obtain a lot of important information, but it can only collect it bit by bit, and it is impossible to steal equipment openly.
This is the default rule.
If the rules are broken, not to mention the reaction of the flower growers, the allied countries will be very resistant, which will cause great conflicts and disputes. After all, the equipment is jointly owned by the flower growers' science and technology department and the nuclear organization.
…
Amrican has renewed its focus on the Nuclear Organization.
The nuclear organization didn't feel so good. Thinking back to a week ago, they were still the focus of the world. Many reports focused on the equipment they "bought" and the experiments they planned to conduct.
It's different now.
The eyes of the whole world have turned to the Spacecraft Industrial Company. Everyone is paying attention to the light pressure engine and has no interest in the experimental information of nuclear organizations at all.
It’s right to think about it…
Everyone has already built a light pressure engine based on annihilation particle technology, but the nuclear organization is still researching the 'lowest-end' strong annihilation force field equipment?
What does this mean?
Bazberg-Montra didn't think it was interesting. They recently conducted a series of tests, and the contents were published in academic journals and appeared in media reports. The results did not attract much attention at all.
Others say it is external public opinion. Even the people involved in the experiment within the organization are talking about the light pressure engine and possible follow-up research content.
Li Ming and Yan Yaojun are still the focus of attention.
As the team leaders of the flower growers participating in the experiment, they first became the focus of the strong annihilation field equipment. A large number of scholars surrounded them, constantly asking questions related to the strong annihilation field technology.
Li Ming and Yan Yaojun didn't understand the strong annihilation force field. They could only briefly talk about what they knew, and then asked questions without knowing anything.
Of course, they didn't say they didn't know, they just smiled and shook their heads.
This attitude makes people think that they want to keep information confidential, rather than not being technical.
Li Ming and Yan Yaojun were both worried about this. After the test of the light pressure engine made the news, they discovered that the scholars' questions turned into "light pressure engine".
"What material is used in the light pressure engine?"
"It is said that the maximum temperature exceeds 6500 degrees Celsius. How is it achieved? How is it controlled?"
"Talk about annihilation particle technology, talk about..."
"Is this technology really controllable? How is control achieved?"
"..."
Li Ming and Yan Yaojun suddenly became even more confused.
At first they said they didn't know, and found that no one believed it. Then they simply talked about the basics that everyone knew, "First of all, we agreed that we were not involved in the project, but the research was very powerful and used a lot of high-end first-order materials. Otherwise,
How can it resist such high temperatures?"
"This engine is very heavy, reaching tens of thousands of tons!"
"After making the engine, the next step is to make a super-large spacecraft!"
"This is a 100-billion-dollar project."
"The research speed is unexpectedly fast and very smooth. Now is the first test. It is estimated that in a few years, it will be able to enter space..."
The last sentence was affirmed.
Many people also judge the speed of research and development in the same way. Now we can only land airplanes. If the research goes well, we will be able to launch into space in a few years.
