Xinghai Institute of Science and Technology Gravity Research Institute.
Liu Yuan, who was thinking about leaving the earth as soon as possible and working alone, also came here.
Gravity technology has two major research directions. One is anti-gravity technology. At present, anti-gravity technology has been mastered and anti-gravity engines have been developed, and anti-gravity engine technology is becoming more and more mature.
The anti-gravity engines manufactured by Xinghai Technology are becoming more and more powerful. A behemoth like the Star absolutely requires a powerful anti-gravity engine to drive it.
Another research direction is gravity technology.
Gravity technology and anti-gravity technology, just by listening to the name, you will know that this technology mainly studies how to artificial gravity.
Artificial gravity may not seem to have much meaning or effect in the eyes of many people. After all, we are on the earth all the time, feeling the impact of gravity. It is not too late to get rid of gravity, so we still need to study this gravity.
What is the use of technology?
In fact, gravity technology is a very important technology, and its application fields are very wide.
The first one is to use it on spacecraft.
There is no gravity or microgravity environment in space.
It is extremely difficult for people to adapt to this environment, and it will lead to many problems, such as the loss of calcium, resulting in loose bones. Once people return to Earth, they will most likely become paralyzed, and their bones can no longer support them.
Body.
Another example is problems such as endocrine disorders, decreased immunity, etc. These problems are called space syndrome. The main reason is that astronauts are in a weightless environment for a long time.
Human technology has never been separated from the earth. Even if astronauts stay in space, they will not stay too long. Generally speaking, it only lasts a few days, a dozen days, or dozens of days.
The one who stayed the longest was Krikalev, who stayed in space for more than 311 days, but that was also a special situation. He was called the last one.
Human beings grew up on the planet, and everything in the body is adapted to the environment on the planet. It is very unsuitable for the environment in space. It is fine in the short term, but over time, many problems will occur in the body.
.
After entering the home star civilization and the trajectory of activities spreads throughout the solar system, a spacecraft often flies within the solar system, and the round trip time will be very long, often taking several months, or even a year or two.
Like the Xingchen expedition to Mars, the scheduled time is as long as half a year, which means that most of the time, you will live and work in a gravity-free environment.
This is a huge test for astronauts, engineers and other personnel on board the ship. Among other things, just to maintain the calcium of their body bones, they must exercise in space for at least 4 hours a day.
If the amount of exercise is not enough, once you return to the earth, your bones may not be able to withstand the gravity of the earth, causing the whole person to become paralyzed.
This is also the reason why many positions, occupations, etc. in the space field have very high salaries and benefits, because it is indeed very hard, very tiring, and involves great risks.
In addition, after returning to Earth, you will need to go through a long period of recuperation before you can return to space to work again.
The Star is only going to Mars, the planet closest to the earth. If it is going to Jupiter, Saturn and other farther planets, it will conduct inspections.
It is estimated that if you calculate it back and forth, it will take a year or two casually. Such a long time, being in space all the time, is a great test, and the impact on the body will be very great.
If you set foot on the starry sky and sail in the interstellar universe from now on, the time may be even longer. Maybe a voyage will take several years, or even more than ten years.
During such a long period of time, it is difficult for people to maintain regular exercise and life. Under the influence of the environment in space, they may no longer be able to adapt to the environment and life on the planet.
Therefore, we must study gravity technology.
Install a gravity generating device on the spacecraft. In this way, even if it is on a route in the interstellar universe, the environment on the spacecraft can be similar to the environment on the planet.
Under the influence of gravity, life and work can be no different from those on the planet. This can greatly facilitate navigation between interstellar universes and facilitate human exploration of the interstellar universe.
Gravity technology is also one of the key technologies for a civilization to move towards the interstellar universe. Only by mastering this technology can it go further and for a longer period of time.
In addition to installing gravity-generating devices on spacecrafts, gravity technology can also be used in material manufacturing.
The development of gravity technology has unlimited potential.
Creating super strong gravity, using strong gravity to cast materials, and creating a variety of powerful materials is also an extremely important technical field.
There are even gravity technologies mastered by some powerful civilizations in the universe, which can simulate the terrifying gravity of neutron stars, directly use gravity technology to collapse asteroids into a state similar to neutron stars, and obtain super strong materials for manufacturing
Powerful spaceship.
Gravity technology can also be used in the field of interstellar warfare, using gravity technology to form powerful attacks and defenses. A gravity cannon attack will directly collapse the opponent's space battleship into a ball.
With the powerful gravity defense system, the enemy's attacks will be directly attracted by the terrifying gravity, and they will be swallowed up like a black hole and become invisible.
In short, gravity technology has many uses and is also very important. It must be a technology that needs to be researched and developed.
"Boss, you came just in time. I was just wanting to report our research results to you."
Upon learning of Liu Yuan's arrival, Sun Tzu Long, the head of the Gravity Science and Technology Research Institute, immediately ran over.
He is a senior manager of Xinghai Aerospace Technology Group, and he is also the head of an important research institute of this research institute. He holds many positions in one person, and he is usually similar to Liu Yuan.
In the morning, I deal with daily affairs in the company, and in the afternoon, I spend silence in the laboratory doing scientific research.
"It seems that you have developed a gravity generating device?"
Liu Yuan looked at Sun Zilong's appearance and immediately made a guess.
Naturally, there is nothing to report on anti-gravity technology. Although it is becoming more and more mature and the anti-gravity engines produced are becoming more and more powerful, after all, it is a technology that has already been developed.
What Sun Zilong should report to him must be gravity technology. They have developed a gravity generating device.
"The boss knows things well. We have indeed just made a breakthrough in this technology and developed gravity technology."
"This technology is much more difficult than anti-gravity technology."
Sun Zilong nodded and said.
When I and Wang Chen studied anti-gravity technology together, I was not so sad. It only took more than a year to develop it. However, I have led a larger team to study this gravity technology for several years.
Just broke through a few days ago.
"Let's take a look at your gravity generating device. How much gravity can it generate now?"
Liu Yuanlai became energetic.
Whatever you think of, you get what you want. I was thinking about researching this technology as soon as possible and applying it to spacecraft to prepare for the next interstellar voyage. Unexpectedly, I heard the good news.
Compared with anti-gravity technology, gravity technology is actually more difficult.
We all know that the generation of gravity is related to mass. The greater the mass of a star, the greater its gravity.
The mass of the earth is greater than that of the moon and Mars, so the gravity of the earth is much greater than that of Mars and the moon. The gravity of the moon is only one-sixth of the earth, and the gravity of Mars is two-fifths of the earth, and the mass ratio
The gravity of Saturn, which is as large as the Earth, is 1.25 times that of the Earth.
This means that gravity is directly proportional to mass.
If you want to create artificial gravity, it is very technically difficult, and the technological theories and knowledge involved belong to advanced star-level civilizations. It is simply impossible for ordinary star-level civilizations to master this technology.
How to create strong gravity under limited mass. This technology is definitely not as simple as using a centrifuge to continuously rotate. What the centrifuge rotates creates is centrifugal force, not gravity.
"The gravity generating device we have manufactured so far can only produce a gravity equivalent to one-tenth of the earth's gravity, which is very average."
"But we have made a breakthrough and have the right development direction and ideas. I believe that given us some time, we can continue to improve."
While Sun Zilong led Liu Yuan to the laboratory, he also reported to Liu Yuan in detail.
"One-tenth of Earth's gravity?"
"This is already very good. Take your time, I believe you will be able to create a more powerful gravity generating device soon."
Liu Yuan was very satisfied after hearing this. Technology often requires inspiration and breakthroughs. As long as there are inspirations and breakthroughs, the next development will be rapid.
The same is true for many theories and technologies. As soon as someone puts it forward and scientists make breakthroughs, it rapidly develops and breaks through. Like computer technology, from its emergence to the present, a huge breakthrough occurs almost every few years.
Changes and breakthroughs.
Gravity technology is very difficult. I didn't expect them to make a breakthrough and develop it now. Unexpectedly, Sun Zilong succeeded and successfully developed gravity technology.
Although it is only one-tenth of the earth's gravity, it is a good start. With a breakthrough, the next development will be much smoother. I believe that more powerful gravity devices will be able to be manufactured soon.
"Perhaps we can start building spacecrafts for mining asteroids. With gravity devices, it will be possible to travel to more distant areas."
