MTL - The Rise of Space Technology-Chapter 167 , anti-gravity technology

   Chapter 167, Anti-Gravity Technology

  Xinghai Science and Technology Research Institute, the second and third phases have also been completed and delivered to Xinghai Technology for use, which also expanded the area of ​​Xinghai Research Institute several times.

  The first phase here mainly sets up various biological laboratories under the Institute of Biological Research and various laboratories under the Institute of Electronic Science and Technology.

The number of    is only a few hundred people, which is relatively small in scale.

  The second phase and the third phase are different. Liu Yuan has set up four branches of the Institute of Physics, the Institute of Astronomy, the Institute of Materials Science, and the Institute of Chemistry, as well as some related important laboratories.

   The thousands of new researchers who have joined Xinghai Science and Technology Research Institute are basically in the corresponding professional fields of these four research institutes.

In fact, there is also a Mathematical Research Institute, but the Mathematical Research Institute is quite special. It does not need various laboratories. It has one building, many classrooms and offices. Researching mathematics only needs a blackboard and a comfortable environment. There is no need for a variety of complex, specialized laboratories.

   Song Cang from the Mathematical Research Institute above often jokes with Liu Yuan: "The Mathematical Institute is the cheapest and least expensive among the major branches. It can be done in one teaching building. It's simple."

   Regarding this point, Liu Yuan also has to admit that the Institute of Mathematics is indeed the research institute that does not burn the most money. The various research materials and laboratories of other institutes are very expensive.

Taking the biological research institute as an example, there are many large and small laboratories, and the investment in each laboratory is often hundreds of millions. Some advanced research equipment, such as top-level electron microscopes, cannot be bought with money. , you need to find a way to make it yourself, and the cost will be even greater.

Also from the Institute of Materials Research, basic material research is very expensive. Doing experiments every day, many experimental materials are very expensive, gold and silver are trivial, some rare metals and materials, The price is sky-high, and the sprinkles are all large sums of money.

The key is that the results of material research are not so easy to come out. Sometimes it may be invested year after year, but there is not much result. When a new material is developed, it will be difficult to develop a use for a while. Gives a feeling of dragon slaying.

   But materials science is the most basic discipline and an essential and important discipline for industrial development.

  Why haven't we been able to make a powerful engine?

   Is technology and theory not enough?

   Or did we not understand the technology of the engine?

   None of these. The real reason is the trivial material technology. We have not paid enough attention to this short board, so it is always difficult to manufacture a qualified aero engine.

  The same engine, the lifespan we make is shorter than others made, and it is less used. The technology is the same, and the design is the same, but it just can't reach the performance of others.

There are also various tools often used in the field of machine tools. The same tools, domestic tools are not imported tools, whether it is cutting effect, or service life, etc., are much worse, so the tool used in the machine tool field Knives are largely dependent on imports.

   The important reason for the emergence of these phenomena is that the foundation of materials science is not firmly laid, and the chain will fall off when various special materials are needed at a critical time.

  Liu Yuan is well aware of the importance of materials science and material research, and he is also investing a lot of money. He starts with the most basic steel materials and gradually consolidates this foundation.

   Of course, this all costs money. A lot of money is poured into it, like flowing water. Fortunately, Liu Yuan has the guidance of inheritance seeds, and he can get the maximum research effect with the minimum consumption.

   In general, research in major disciplines spends more money than academy, and academy is much cheaper, and you don’t need to spend too much money at all.

Moreover, the number of people in the School of Mathematics is also the smallest. In mathematics, the most important thing is talent. There is a big difference between talented people and non-talented people. Without talent, it is impossible to make achievements and breakthroughs in the field of mathematics. Mathematics, may not be able to study anything.

   Talented people are different. Many mathematicians show extraordinary talent at a very young age. You can see whether you have mathematical talent at the age of 20 or 30.

  Compared with scientists in other disciplines, mathematicians are generally much younger. For example, Song Cang is already a famous mathematician in his early thirties.

  Liu Yuan walked in the Xinghai Research Institute. After the second and third phases were merged, the scale of the research institute was much larger and there were more people.

   "Boss~"

   "Boss~"

   "Hello, hello~"

   From time to time, I can meet the researchers of the research institute, and each of them naturally takes the initiative to say hello to the boss Liu Yuan.

   "Antigravity Laboratory of the Institute of Physics!"

   Soon, Liu Yuan came to the antigravity laboratory, ready to see the research on antigravity.

The    Antigravity Laboratory is a new laboratory established by Liu Yuan this year. The main research technology is antigravity technology that far exceeds the existing technology on Earth.

If the parent-star civilization wants to develop into a star-level civilization, it must master a cheap technology to travel to and from space, and use rockets to travel to and from space. It is impossible for a hundred, thousand, or 10,000 years to develop into a parent. Star question.

   Because the cost is too high, the price is too high.

   Using a rocket to go to and from space, even if it is a recyclable rocket, the cost is calculated at the level of ten million green coins. Every time a rocket is launched, it is tens of millions of green coins, and the average cost is in grams.

   Launching a satellite costs tens of millions of green coins, and the satellite looks like a few hundred pounds. The size and weight are greatly limited, and the cost remains high.

  In the last century, humans have been able to land on the moon. Why haven't humans landed on the moon again after half a century?

   In the final analysis, it is the reason for the cost.

  It takes tens of billions of green coins to land on the moon. Who has more money and has nothing to do to invest in this area?

  Moon landing is not profitable at all except that it can make people excited. The soil and rocks dug back from the moon are all costed by grams, which is more expensive than anything else.

   And the parent star civilization is to conduct large-scale activities, large-scale operations and development in the entire solar system. At this time, a large number of spaceships travel to and from space and planets.

   Without cheap enough technology, it is simply impossible to achieve this, and it is impossible to say that it has developed to the mother star problem.

  Imagine that you work in space. Every day you commute to and from space, you even have to return to the earth for a meal. If you use a rocket, is it possible?

   is simply impossible, the cost is too high, and the key is that security is also a big problem.

   Rocket launches are often accidents. After several major accidents, the beautiful fruit on the other side of the ocean has been extremely cautious in launching rockets.

   Now everyone uses rockets to launch satellites and send a few people into space. As for the large-scale development of space technology, it is not realistic. There are too many factors to consider, such as cost and safety.

   Liu Yuan boasted that he would land on the moon within three years.

   Many people think that Liu Yuan is definitely bragging, and it is really unrealistic to rely on rockets to land on the moon.

   Of course, Liu Yuan had no intention of landing on the moon with such a backward technology as rockets.

   To develop into space in the future, it is necessary to develop a cheap, efficient and safe technology.

   Fortunately, there are many very practical technologies in the inheritance seeds, such as anti-gravity technology, opto-magnetic traction technology, plasma power technology, space power technology and so on.

   The so-called anti-gravity technology, as the name suggests, is a technology that uses special methods to get rid of gravity and gravity.

In fact, antigravity technology has related theories for a long time. It is predicted in the general theory of relativity. Through the relevant research on gravitational gravitational waves, it is believed that it is entirely possible to make full use of the characteristics of gravitational waves to achieve a flying saucer like the aliens in science fiction movies. General anti-gravity technology.

   There are even many scientists on earth who have been tirelessly insisting on relevant theoretical and practical research in order to develop this epoch-making anti-gravity technology.

  The technical level of opto-magnetic traction technology is even higher. It involves opto-magnetic technology, which uses the traction characteristics of opto-magnetic to develop related technologies.

  The theory of plasma power technology is even simpler. Its principle is to use a powerful current to ionize the air in an instant to generate a powerful plasma to obtain power.

  This technology is also called plasma technology. Because a powerful current is instantly released to ionize the air, the resulting expansion is a hundred times or a thousand times stronger than the expansion generated by a jet engine, so it can have extremely powerful power.

   But this technology has two key core points. One is super battery. Without super battery, you can't say that it is used in aircraft. The electricity required for ionizing air is very huge.

  The other is the powerful material technology. The temperature generated by the super-strong current ionized air is as high as several thousand degrees. There is no material on the earth that can withstand such terrifying problems.

   As for space power technology, this level is even higher. It involves cosmic space science. The principle is to use powerful energy to compress the cosmic space, and then use the distance of space ejection to achieve flight.

  This technology is not mastered by the parent star civilization at all, but a technology that can be gradually explored after the stellar civilization has developed to the extreme. When it develops to a certain extent, it is a powerful technology that can be used for interstellar navigation.

   So after a comprehensive comparison, Liu Yuan also decided to develop anti-gravity technology first, which is more in line with the current technical level and easier to connect.
