After meaningless compliments and complicated procedures, a small book with a precious leather cover was handed to Yun Tianming.
"Your star!" Dr. He said with a smile.
Yun Tianming opened the small book, looked at some uncomplicated but exquisite property rights information, and then closed the book.
"Thanks."
Dr. He looked at Yun Tianming curiously: "I would like to ask, are you planning to give this star to a girl?"
Seeing Yun Tianming nodded, Dr. He said with emotion: "What a lucky girl."
[Marvel World, Tony Stark pretended not to see Pepper Potts’ passionate eyes.
But in the end he was defeated: "Okay, I'll try my best, but if it were a civilized planet, I wouldn't use it to make a gift for you! This is trampling on another civilization and unfair!"
"Of course I won't be so irrational. My dear, I don't want it for myself. I want it as a coming-of-age gift for Morgan. You still have almost twenty years, so I think this won't be difficult for you," said Little Pepper.
: "But with such a romantic father, I'm really worried about Morgan's future. Will she look down on all men?"
"Looking down on the best..." Tony Stark muttered.
Little Pepper: "What did you say?"
"Nothing," Tony Stark rubbed his nose: "After the inventory, I asked Thor to find out that there are no suitable targets in the nearby stars."]
"Okay, the certificate of ownership, we will mail it to the address you gave as soon as possible. As you wish, we will not leak your information..." Dr. He said: "In fact, there is nothing to leak. After all, I am now
All you know is that your surname is Yun, right?"
Yun Tianming asked: "Can I go see that star?"
"Of course!" Dr. He replied: "But you can't see it in the city center. We have to go to the suburbs. It would be better to have an observatory. But it will be a bit bumpy along the way. Why don't you take a rest and find a suitable time?
Go again?”
Shaking his head, Yun Tianming said: "I don't have much time, and I feel fine now, so how about we start now?"
After driving for two hours, it was already dark. Yun Tianming did not choose to go to the observatory in the suburbs. After all, what he purchased were stars that could be seen directly with the naked eye.
After chatting with Dr. He for a long time in the suburban fields, Yun Tianming looked at the star with tender eyes.
"I'm about to die..." Yun Tianming said.
Dr. He was silent for a moment: "But you are luckier than many people. Many people spend their whole lives just looking at the world in front of them, but your eyes are already almost three hundred years away."
Time passed quickly, and the date for Yun Tianming's euthanasia was getting closer and closer.
Tomorrow is a peaceful day. Yun Tianming typed some words on the memo on his mobile phone:
When Cheng Xin saw this star, I was no longer alive. But in fact, the light of the star we see now came from about three hundred years ago, when he and Cheng Xin did not exist yet...
And when Cheng Xin could actually see the light emitted by this star at this moment, three hundred years had passed... and she was no longer alive...
Cheng Xin, what kind of life will you spend? I hope you can remember that in the vast sea of stars, there is a star that belongs to you...
[Three-body World, the plane taking off from the Pearl and flying to the Imperial Capital is already at the last part of the journey.
The bodyguard in black breathed a sigh of relief. At least he no longer had to take unforeseen risks and carry out forceful activities on the plane.
But Cheng Xin still didn't realize that she seemed to be the crumbs of the heavens. She just stared at the pale Yun Tianming on the screen with hazy eyes.]
The scene turned and there were many people of various skin colors sitting in a conference room.
Obviously, judging from the classification of participants and some flags and logos, this is a very serious international conference.
Although this conference room looks very simple.
After a yellow participant talked for a long time with some commonplace nonsense, a white guy who looked very difficult to get along with said nonchalantly: "Others can leave, and the technical people will stay and hold another meeting.
"
Soon, although there were a few empty chairs, the still somewhat crowded conference room became empty as a large number of people left.
One of them, a beautiful Asian woman, was Cheng Xin who was already on the plane during the landing stage.
[Cheng Xin saw herself on the screen and realized something was wrong. After remembering the title of the first scene, she looked back at the bodyguard who looked as if nothing had happened but always made her feel a little dangerous.
But... why did I become the scorn of the heavens? Am I... not very kind?】
After the heavy door of the conference room was closed, he didn't look like a good man. The middle-aged white man with the words "Director: Thomas Vader" written on the nameplate in front of him said: "Everyone, the Strategic Intelligence Bureau of the Planetary Defense Council,
That is to say, the PIA we formed is going to launch probes to the Trisolaran fleet!"
As soon as Thomas Wade said this, the dozen or so people left in the conference room were basically whispering among themselves, obviously not understanding or even laughing at his plan.
"Are there any specific indicators?" The man with "Mikhail Vadim" written on the sign in front of him said with a thick Russian accent. He was the only one with a calm expression on his face.
Thomas Vader put away the carelessness on his face and said seriously: "I have discussed it privately with the representatives of the Planetary Defense Council. Although many indicators have not been determined, there is a consensus on one thing, that is,
Let the detector reach 1% of the speed of light."
“You mean, it will take two to three hundred years for the probe to encounter the Trisolaran fleet?” A participant from NASA frowned: “What you are talking about can only be done in the future, right?
"
Thomas Wade hammered the table hard: "Sophon has locked up our technology. It's hard to say whether we can have such technology in the future! It's precisely because our current speed is very slow, so we have to start as early as possible!
"
"But according to our speed, it will take tens of thousands of years to reach our destination, but the Trisolarans only need four hundred years to reach our doorstep!" said the NASA representative.
Thomas Wade hammered the table again: "We have resources! Times have changed! In the past, aerospace was about losing money and making money, but now aerospace has the best human and material resources! Use resources and use barbarian methods to achieve our goals!
Use resources to change principles!”
"Pfft..." Vadim couldn't hold back his laughter: "No offense, Mr. Director, it's really... you must never say this in public... It's impossible to use resources to change the principle."
Thomas Wade said calmly: "You are already laughing at and offending me."
Pointing at Cheng Xin, Thomas Wade said: "She is the only one who didn't laugh at me. Cheng, do you have any ideas?"
Cheng Xin was a little confused. After pointing at herself, she said helplessly: "If we bypass the principle... the most powerful resource we can use now should be nuclear bombs. My idea is that under the premise that there is no technological breakthrough in the short term,
, using a huge energy body like a nuclear bomb to continuously explode in space to push a detector or spacecraft to accelerate, it should theoretically be able to reach one percent of the speed of light!"
Cheng Xin's words were quickly ridiculed by the participants like Thomas Wade: "You should calculate the weight-to-push ratio!" "It's really like a cartoon animation." "The principle has not changed, but the barbarity has been achieved by a beauty like you.
"
Ignoring the ridicule of her future colleagues, Cheng Xin looked at Thomas Vader and said, "The nuclear bomb is not installed on the spaceship. The spaceship is only made of radiation-powered sails and the like. It explodes in sequence with the preset nuclear bombs."
, constantly accelerating in a vacuum.”
Cheng Xin looked at the silent representatives: "Use the traditional method to place nuclear bombs on the detector's route in advance. Whenever the detector reaches the appropriate position, it will detonate a nuclear bomb. In theory, it can reach one percent of the speed of light!
"
[It has to be said that although many worlds have guessed that Cheng Xin is the scum of the world, they also have to admit that her method is very constructive. In theory, if resources are invested regardless of resources, it can indeed achieve that goal.
As a result, many in the scientific world have begun to use supercomputers to calculate such interstellar travel methods.
If it is feasible... then nuclear restrictions will probably be lifted, and in a short period of time, the production of nuclear bombs will start again until a stable supply can be achieved on the route.
It's not too ambitious to go directly to another galaxy, but it is intended to be an accelerated travel method to neighboring planets such as the moon and Mars.
Helium-3 on the moon is a precious resource, but it is difficult to transport. This nuclear bomb propulsion method can at least speed up the transportation of spacecraft.
The route to Mars is even simpler. Even within the window period, it will take several months to get to Mars. With nuclear bombs propelling it, maybe the non-window period can be shortened to within a few months, and the window period may only take a dozen days.
Acceleration and deceleration are enough!
Especially in the interstellar world, some nuclear weapons that are not easy to deal with suddenly have a second spring. They will be deployed on the route to the Saturn wormhole. As an insurance method for the race continuation plan, the Fire Plan must continue to be implemented.
Using the nuclear bomb propulsion method, the one-way trip calculated in years may be shortened by one year. The saved spacecraft fuel can be used as navigation insurance or to reduce the weight and replace it with other materials and equipment!】
[China Sun World, Zhuang Yu, who has successfully bid for the China Sun Project, touched his chin.
Another golden bird?]
"Does anyone else have any ideas?" Thomas Vader looked around, and after everyone was silent, Thomas Vader said: "We will have two more meetings to see if you have any other methods...
Now, our first proposal needs a name!"
"Every time a nuclear bomb is detonated, the speed of the detector will speed up." Vadim said: "It's like a person constantly stepping up the stairs. Why not call it the ladder plan?"
Seeing that no one objected to his name, Vadim continued: "After mentioning the name, let's talk about the detector itself. After all, the quality of the detector also affects what the final speed can be."
"According to the current technical level..." A strong man with a thick Maozi accent like Vadim said: "The mass of the radiation sail will be very light and light, with an area of fifty square kilometers, but a weight of only about fifty
Kilograms. Logically speaking, this area is enough!”
An expert who has been involved in the design of famous spacecrafts in many worlds said: "The big part is the detector itself. Counting various antennas and equipment for transmitting signals back to the earth...it can do almost two or three.
Ton weight.”
"No!" Vadim shook his head: "It's too heavy. It must be as light as a feather... Keep the detection function to the minimum, about one ton!"
Thomas Wade squinted his eyes: "Not yet, a little further to the left. The detector and the radiation sail weigh one ton together. It should be possible to push a one-ton detector with all the strength of mankind!"
The screen kept switching, and every member of the Strategic Intelligence Bureau of the Planetary Defense Council was busy in the next few days.
But these days of busyness have paid off.
At another meeting, Cheng Xin reported: "The good news is that the Planetary Defense Council helped us improve the plan and calculated that only twenty-five square kilometers of radiation sails are needed to achieve the effect. Materials Science
There are also some improvements, and the weight of the radial sail can be reduced to twenty kilograms."
“Then the bad news,” Vadim added: “According to predictions, to reach one percent of the speed of light, the weight of the detector would have to be reduced to two hundred kilograms! And minus the mass of the solar sail, the detector itself would be just one
One hundred and eighty kilograms!”
Thomas Wade deadpanned: "Don't be depressed, because I have even worse news here."
After a pause, Thomas Wade continued: "The ladder plan has been rejected."
