The assembly and manufacturing of the second-generation space shuttle is proceeding steadily and orderly.
Judging from the current situation, the progress is not much different from the estimated plan in the second half of last year.
Because of the need to manufacture another first-generation space shuttle to compete for and expand the space travel market and earn scientific research funds, the production and manufacturing time of the second-generation aircraft was extended by more than half a year.
But it's totally worth it.
In the past six months, to be precise, three months after the completion of the second-generation space shuttle, just serving the super rich and carrying out space travel projects has brought more than one billion meters to Xinghai Research Institute.
gold funds.
Even though the exchange rate between rice gold and soft sister currency has fallen below 1:5, the cost of nearly 1.7 billion rice gold is still an astonishing figure.
In other words, in the past three months, the two first-generation aircraft have brought them nearly 10 billion soft sister coins in revenue from "space travel" alone.
As for the assembly and manufacturing factory that has now formed an industrial chain at the Xia Shu Aerospace Base, the manufacturing cost of a first-generation aircraft can be reduced to about 800 million yuan.
For commercialized industries, to say that there are more huge profits than this, I am afraid that there are only a few industries such as tobacco, electricity, and banking.
But currently, the market for space travel is not very big.
Although the cost of space travel of less than 20 million is not much for the top rich, there are still relatively few people who are willing to spend this money to experience low-Earth orbit.
And this can be considered a one-time deal.
After all, after most of the wealthy people have experienced it once, they will rarely be willing to spend another 20 million meters to go to low-Earth orbit.
After all, people like Prince Faisal who are passionate about space travel are only a minority.
It has to be said that Prince Faisal is indeed a weird one among many rich people. Others can only experience it once. He has gone back and forth four times in the past six months.
In other words, after going up there with Xu Chuan for the first time, he spent tens of millions of dollars to go up there three times with other people.
He has almost become a VIP frequent visitor to the Xinghai Research Institute and Aerospace Research Institute.
Moreover, he is still planning to contact other wealthy people to "charter a plane" to travel to the moon or even Mars.
But currently, even though the Xinghai space shuttle has shown a high level of comfort in space travel, there are still very few rich people who dare to go to the moon.
Not to mention Mars, humans have not yet successfully landed a man on Mars.
After all, the risk factor between these two is still quite high.
Generally speaking, after the craze and limelight of 'space travel' passes, the corresponding income will drop significantly.
Unless they choose to lower the cost of space travel, which may attract ordinary wealthy people.
But currently, the Aerospace Research Institute has no such plan.
Because the main purpose of the space shuttle at this stage is still designed and manufactured for space development, space travel is just a matter of picking up grass and hunting rabbits.
Ordinary people may still have to wait for more than ten years or even longer for space travel.
Just like when products such as cars and mobile phones first appeared, only the rich could afford them. Only when the industrial chain is fully developed, ordinary people can enjoy the dividends and comfort brought by this technology.
.......
While Xu Chuan was inspecting the research on the second-generation space shuttle, discussions on the Internet about strong electric unification, void field theory and the strong particle collider were also intensifying.
For this reason, CTV media reporters also came here specially.
Xinghai Research Institute just came back from Xia Shu Space Base. Just when Xu Chuan opened the door of the office and was about to walk to his desk, assistant Qin Yue was in the cubicle handling the work at hand. His eyes lit up and he quickly stood up.
"Professor, you are back."
Hearing the shout, Xu Chuan turned to look at her, nodded, and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
Qin Yue walked out quickly and said with a smile: "When you went to inspect the Xia Shu Space Base in the morning, someone from CTV came to look for you."
"CTV is looking for me? What are you doing?" Xu Chuan asked curiously.
Qin Yue smiled and said: "Didn't you complete the report meeting on the unified theory of strong electricity and the conference on the era of void field theory a few days ago? It coincides with the completion of the upgrade of the LHC collider at CERN. CTV wants to talk to you Please apply for an exclusive interview on these theoretical achievements. I would like to ask if you are willing and when you have time."
If it were other scholars, CTV would not have such a low attitude. After all, it is the leader of all media in the country.
But the person in front of me, not to mention CTV, even all the domestic media, may not be qualified to show off in front of him.
If he is unwilling to be interviewed, anyone who comes will have no choice but to carry the equipment and return to where he came from.
Moreover, the general media are not qualified to apply for interviews with him, and they cannot even pass the test of being an assistant.
For Xu Chuan, although he has no interest in being interviewed, Media C still has to give him some face. After all, he is the leader of domestic media.
And sometimes, appropriate academic exposure is actually necessary.
It is not a good thing for something like academia to be too far away from ordinary people. It is difficult for ordinary people to understand what scholars like them are doing.
In this regard, some journals and countries and regions actually do quite well.
For example, "Nature", in addition to professional field journals, it also has a category of journals specifically for the general public. It uses popular, concise, interesting, yet rigorous language to describe the development of science or biological changes to the public.
After thinking for a while, Xu Chuan asked: "Where are their people?"
Qin Yue quickly replied: "Waiting at the hotel outside the institute. If professor you don't want to be interviewed, I'll go and refuse them."
Xu Chuan waved his hand and said: "Now that we are here, the C media still has to give them face. You can contact them and arrange an interview."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "If there is time..."
He thought for a while, looked at his phone, and then said: "I don't have enough time these two days, so let's put it to next Monday."
Today is Thursday, and there are still three days until next Monday. These three days should be enough for him to go to the Energy Research Institute to see the research progress of those researchers on plasma and electromagnetic deflection shields.
Seeing that Xu Chuan agreed, Qin Yue nodded quickly and said, "Okay, Professor."
...
The interview was scheduled for Monday three days later, and during these three days, Xu Chuan came to the Energy Research Institute and summoned a dozen researchers who had previously participated in the "Sunflower Classroom".
"How well do you understand the theoretical mechanism of plasma and electromagnetic deflection shields?"
In the small conference room, Xu Chuan asked everyone.
Upon hearing this question, all the researchers lowered their heads and turned red with shame.
This most cutting-edge theory in physics is based on the unified theory of strong electricity. Even though they have been researching and studying hard these days, they cannot fully understand it in such a short period of time.
Looking at everyone who lowered their heads, Xu Chuan gently shook his head.
It must be a bit disappointing to say that he was dedicated to explaining the theory and details to these people for three consecutive days before the report meeting on the unified theory of strong electricity was held.
Moreover, these people themselves are project leaders and top researchers in the controllable nuclear fusion project. Logically speaking, their talents should be very good.
But I really can’t say how disappointing it is. After all, the emergence of a new theory always takes time to be accepted by others.
In particular, plasma and electromagnetic deflection shields, which are cutting-edge theories at the forefront of physics, will only take longer.
Shaking his head, Xu Chuan spoke again: "In that case, let me start first."
Looking at the people who raised their heads again and turned their eyes towards them, he continued: It is undeniable that the plasma electromagnetic deflection shield is still an extremely cutting-edge theory and technology at present."
"Based on the current technological foundation, it can be said to be extremely difficult to achieve."
"So from the perspective of a research technician, considering the research difficulty, cost, benefits and other aspects of the project, I think we can separate the plasma wall and electromagnetic shield for research."
"We are no strangers to plasma. The high-temperature plasma turbulence control model in controllable nuclear fusion reactors is currently the best in the world. In this regard, we have world-leading experience and technology."
"What needs to be considered is if the plasma is guided in an unenclosed environment to form a fixed shield wall shape in an environment such as air or vacuum."
"As for the electromagnetic shield..."
"... Generally speaking, regarding the plasma and electromagnetic deflection shield theory, my idea is that we can divide it into two parts."
"The plasma shield and the electromagnetic field shield can be completed independently first, and then fused."
"Do you have any thoughts on these two aspects?"
After briefly stating his thoughts, Xu Chuan glanced at the crowd. Among the crowd, Luo Ming, who was wearing black-rimmed glasses, mustered up the courage to raise his hand.
Xu Chuan was a little surprised when he saw this right hand that was held up alone and seemed to be retracted in the next second. Then he looked at the researcher named Luo Ming with encouragement in his eyes.
He still remembered that in the previous small class, this researcher who was only slightly older than him raised a question about the theory of cyclic enhancement mechanism.
Among the researchers who attended the lecture, there were indeed only a few who could keep up with his explanations.
Luo Ming took a deep breath, stood up and said, "Um...Academician Xu, I have some ideas about plasma walls."
Xu Chuan nodded and said with a smile: "To put it boldly, we who are engaged in academics and research are not afraid of ideas."
After organizing the words in his mind, Luo Ming took a deep breath, pulled his chair back, walked to the podium, pulled out a whiteboard from the side, picked up the marker pen that was placed in the basket, and spoke while writing.
"Plasma exists widely in the universe and is often considered to be the fourth state after solid, liquid, and gaseous states. It has always received widespread attention from the academic community."
"However, due to its instability, how to control it has always been a huge problem."
"Based on the plasma turbulence control model and NS equations in the controllable nuclear fusion reactor, we may be able to study plasma by combining analytical and numerical methods and using several nonlinear development equations to construct plasma walls in the atmosphere and vacuum.
Solitons and chaos phenomena in the body..."
"In this regard, can we consider the (3 1)-dimensional generalized Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation Zakharov-Kuzsov equation with power-law nonlinearity?"
【Ut aμ^nμx b(μ_xx μ_yy μ_yy....】
"Here, a, b are real numbers. Our purpose is to use the bifurcation method of dynamical systems to study all traveling wave solutions of equation (1) when n = 1, and give all traveling wave solutions (including bounded and unbounded
)."
"By analyzing the equations, I considered the phase space geometry of the nodal traveling wave system and obtained parameter bifurcation sets for various bounded and unbounded orbits..."
In front of the whiteboard, Luo Ming, who looked a little thin and wore black-rimmed glasses, kept explaining.
At the conference table, Xu Chuan looked at the calculations on the whiteboard with interest and listened to the researcher's somewhat stumbling explanation.
I have to say that judging from the calculations on the whiteboard, this researcher named Luo Ming is indeed very knowledgeable in plasma.
In front of the whiteboard, Luo Ming's explanation continued: "...Except for homoclinic orbits and periodic orbits, all orbits of the system are unbounded."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "From this point of view, we need to discuss three situations when establishing a plasma wall in an ordinary environment."
"The first type of unbounded orbit Γ2 and Γ?; the second type of unbounded orbit, its energy is lower than the saddle point P?, but higher than Γ3 of the center P?; the third type..."
After the nearly ten-minute report was completed, Luo Ming stopped holding the marker.
He looked at Xu Chuan, took a deep breath, and said seriously: "The above are my ideas and thoughts about the plasma wall."
Xu Chuan had a smile of encouragement and praise on his face, raised his hands and took the lead in applauding gently.
In the conference room, the scattered applause soon became orderly.
Xu Chuan smiled, looked at the equations on the blackboard and said, "It's a very good idea. Use the ZK equation to establish a mathematical model for describing nonlinear ion acoustic waves in a strongly magnetized lossless plasma composed of cold ions and hot isothermal electrons.
"
"For traveling waves of the (3 1)-dimensional Zakharov-Kuzsov equation with power-law nonlinearity, the phase space geometry and parameter bifurcation sets of various bounded and unbounded orbits are systematically given."
"This research idea provides a certain theoretical basis for establishing a sparse plasma wall within the atmosphere."
After a slight pause, he looked at Luo Ming, who was standing in front of the whiteboard, still a little restrained, and said with a smile: "You will be responsible for the research on the plasma wall."
"I?"
In front of the whiteboard, Luo Ming was stunned when he heard this sentence. He pointed his finger back at himself in surprise, as if he couldn't believe it, and added nervously.
"Can I?"
Xu Chuan smiled and nodded, saying: "That's right, I'll leave the research on the plasma wall to you. I believe in my vision, you can do it!"
