What Wang Hao proposed was not some unimaginable high-end technology, nor was it a very, very subtle idea.
To put it bluntly, it means replacing the coolant.
No one in the anti-gravity spacecraft research base has thought of it, and perhaps it cannot be said so absolutely. It should be understood that even if someone thought of it, they did not say it out, and the senior leaders did not know about it.
The research base naturally treats high-end transverse antigravity fields and superconducting battery technologies with caution.
Someone below has thought of a solution, but they may not tell it, and they may not report it. Otherwise, if the research goes wrong or an accident occurs, who will take responsibility?
this is a problem.
Furthermore, the people in charge of the research base are all too old. Being old has its advantages and disadvantages.
Older scholars have rich knowledge and experience, but at the same time, a large amount of so-called "correct logic" in their minds will also limit their creativity and imagination.
Faced with the admiration of Chen Jiahe and others, Wang Hao just nodded calmly. He didn't think that his idea was very good at all. He just understood the technology better and dared to make changes to the technology.
He continued, "We need to cooperate with the coolant and change the cooling system. In fact, we can also replace the superconducting materials used in lateral anti-gravity technology."
"The transverse anti-gravity material that can be applied now has a maximum critical temperature of 230k. It is a new type of material developed by the Superconducting Materials Research Center."
"This is an aβ-mixed element superconducting material. It not only has a high critical temperature, but also has relatively better performance. Of course, when β-element materials are involved, the manufacturing is more complicated and the procurement cost will be much higher."
Chen Jiahe, Duan Jiacong and others were all speechless after hearing this. The new material is indeed very attractive. The critical temperature is higher and the performance is better. But the problem is that the beta element material involved is a special new hybrid material. The price
It is not ordinary high, at least twenty times higher than the materials currently used.
Then, just to build a horizontal anti-gravity system, the cost will reach several hundred million.
Wang Hao ignored other people's reactions. He just gave a suggestion. Whether he would adopt it or not was none of his business.
He continued, "Actually, it is possible to disregard lateral anti-gravity technology in your research."
"oh?"
Chen Jiahe and Duan Jiacong looked at each other and immediately asked, "Academician Wang, what does this mean? Aren't we studying anti-gravity spacecraft?"
Wang Haodao, "But our needs, or in other words, the short-term needs of the space carrier, are functional small spacecraft that can board the ship, rather than large spacecraft that can take off and land on the surface of the earth."
He explained, "Of course anti-gravity technology is good. If an anti-gravity spacecraft can be developed, the spacecraft itself can be called a 'spaceship', but the anti-gravity technology itself will also make the spacecraft very large."
"The space carrier needs some small spacecraft. The small spaceships need to fulfill various functions and can take off and land with the space carrier."
"Even without anti-gravity, it's still possible. Superconducting battery technology and a Hall engine are enough."
Chen Jiahe suddenly understood.
They have been developing anti-gravity spacecraft and have never thought of abandoning anti-gravity technology. In fact, the short-term mission is to build the small spacecraft needed for the space carrier.
Small spacecraft can take off together with the space carrier. In space, gravity is very weak, so it doesn't matter whether lateral anti-gravity exists.
"So as long as the small spacecraft achieves long endurance, can rely on Hall thrusters to propel it, and ensures flexibility?"
"right!"
Wang Hao said with certainty, "If the anti-gravity spacecraft encounters problems in the short term, you can put aside the lateral anti-gravity and give priority to building some simple, usable small spacecraft."
"no problem!"
Chen Jiahe immediately said, "Without the lateral anti-gravity, the technical difficulty will be much smaller. It can even be said that there is no difficulty. We will be able to assemble it very quickly."
"Well."
Wang Hao said, "When you have built the first prototype, we will come to the base to have a look, and then we can discuss specific cooperation."
Chen Jiahe attaches great importance to cooperation with spacecraft companies.
This is an opportunity to realize large amounts of independent income, and the use of small spacecraft built by the space agency hanging on the space carrier is also a proof of the space agency's technology research and development capabilities.
Naturally they will not miss the opportunity.
Wang Hao requested the development of a small spacecraft that abandoned anti-gravity technology, and they immediately put a lot of energy into it.
After putting aside anti-gravity technology, the development of small spacecraft is too easy. In fact, it is just to combine superconducting batteries and Hall propulsion technology, and then provide a manned control cabin.
that's enough.
If the small spacecraft needs to achieve what kind of functions, what kind of functional components should be added accordingly.
Of course, a manned spacecraft cannot be that simple.
Including the radar system, oxygen supply system, safety devices, etc., they are all the most basic standard configurations. There is also the issue of balancing power and thrust, but the overall difficulty is greatly reduced.
The above technologies are all available to the space agency for immediate use.
…
After Wang Hao left the anti-gravity spacecraft research and development base, he did not return to the light pressure engine unit, but went to Xihai University.
Others are responsible for the work of the light pressure engine unit. The basic work tasks have been assigned. The next thing to do is to check the progress and prepare for space testing.
After returning to Xihai, Wang Hao also took a period of vacation for himself. He took time to spend time with his family.
It was not until half a month later that he came to Xihai University.
The working environment of the Mason Number Laboratory is still very relaxed. After Wang Hao entered the laboratory building, he felt a relaxed atmosphere.
After staying in a stressful working environment for a long time, you will feel very comfortable when you return to a relaxed working environment.
He walked leisurely to the second floor, glanced at the students' offices, and found that Ding Zhiqiang was watching a TV series?
Chen Mengmeng and Helen chatted together. While they chatted, they occasionally laughed harshly.
Paul Phil-Jones walked over, but he kept his head lowered and did not see Wang Hao. Wang Hao shouted in a funny way, "Paul!"
Paul Phil-Jones was so frightened that he shivered all over.
This shout also made the students in the office come out. Ding Zhiqiang was the first to come out. He immediately said to Wang Hao, "Teacher Wang, you are back!" There was some emotion and excitement in his voice.
"Ah? Yes..."
Wang Hao nodded and asked Ding Zhiqiang, "Have you done any good research during this time?"
"That's for sure." Ding Zhiqiang's tone was firm, "I was watching some video materials just now, trying to find some inspiration from them, about the technical theory of gravitational fields."
"..."
Wang Hao didn't know what to say for a moment. He wanted to expose Ding Zhiqiang's lies directly, but he also felt that he should give the students some face.
never mind!
"Alas~~"
He sighed and shook his head, and saw Chen Mengmeng and Helen, "How are you doing?"
Helen said seriously, "We are doing research on racial differences." Chen Mengmeng covered his face helplessly as he listened.
"The issue of racial differences?" Wang Hao was confused and looked at Chen Mengmeng and then Helen with some strangeness.
Helen continued, "To be specific, it is to study the sensory differences between white women and yellow women in their treatment of men. We did the evaluation ourselves, Chen Mengmeng and I."
"We talk to different male subjects for a certain length of time, and rate them on various attributes such as clothing, personality, appearance, IQ, etc., with a maximum of 10 points and a minimum of 1 point."
"Finally, a comprehensive score is given."
"We also created a comprehensive chart to compare the judgments of women of different races..."
After Helen finished speaking, Wang Hao pinched his chin and looked at Chen Mengmeng, asking in a low voice, "Why do I sound weird? Are you sure what research you are doing?"
Chen Mengmeng glanced at Helen, immediately pulled Wang Hao aside, and whispered, "Of course not, my research is 'What kind of men would Helen be interested in?' That would be very interesting. I just took what she said just now
It’s just an excuse for the investigation...”
"Teacher Wang, please don't say anything!"
"Yeah, I won't say."
Wang Hao glanced at Helen and asked Chen Mengmeng, "How do you know she doesn't think so?"
Chen Mengmeng was suddenly confused.
On the other side, Ding Zhiqiang suddenly thought of what happened a few days ago: Helen and Chen Mengmeng had a conversation with him for about ten minutes each.
They asked all kinds of strange questions.
Now I understand.
That’s so!
