And Director Niu, whom I hadn't seen for several days, was sitting on the sofa in Ye Ming's room, with his legs crossed and a smile on his face.
"You just come here in such a straight-forward manner, aren't you afraid that people will make the academician feel uncomfortable?"
Ye Ming was looking at the design drawings on his notebook. Hearing this, he was speechless: "Excuse me, where is the uncomfortable point?"
Director Niu and He Mo laughed together.
You said that Ye Ming doesn't understand the ways of the world. He sometimes understands it quite well. For example, rushing to pay for meals, who has any weddings, funerals, birthdays, at least his red envelopes are never absent, and the red envelopes are always there.
Every time, it was full of "friendship".
He even knew that he would give a red envelope to the child of Director Niu's family when he met him for the first time - the kind that borrowed cash from He Mo.
But do you think he understands...
It can only be said that when it comes to technological advancement, he does not consider other factors.
"Okay, actually I communicated with Academician Gu before I came here." Ye Ming knew what the two people were laughing at, and he sighed: "I looked at their test plan and felt that they did not understand the real needs of the third lady.
.”
——Yaoyuehao is the official name of this spacecraft, but now it is generally referred to as its codename "Miss San".
Three is 3 of helium 3.
The reason for choosing such a name is to pay tribute to "Miss Qiu".
"Miss San's belly is large enough, and there is plenty of room for full-load thrust - we have at least two hundred tons of redundancy left to modify and deploy the cabin equipment, so there is no need to be too compact in the design."
Ye Ming paused as he spoke: "This is actually my problem. I didn't communicate well. In addition, Academician Gu may have wanted to push gb supercapacitors into the general commercial market... which led to his pursuit of too high a level.
.”
"Of course, the biggest problem still comes from the military industry." Ye Ming stared at Director Niu and said angrily: "The added laser weapon is too powerful, and the load limit is instantly raised - who do you think is responsible for this?
"
Director Niu laughed loudly: "Military Industry Portal!"
"So you said, Academician Gu, what opinions does he have? Obviously not!"
He Mo pursed his lips and smiled: "Actually, I also think that it is enough to put on the missile window. There is no need to put on the laser."
"It's still necessary." Ye Ming shook his head: "We won't talk about active defense, only in the field of space engineering. A laser is definitely better than a missile, and the use of laser weapons in space was originally one of the routes. Now there are
It’s always good to give it a try.”
"What is the power of current laser weapons?" He Mo asked curiously.
"8mw - can burn through 10cm of titanium armor in one second at a distance of 200 kilometers. If it is replaced with the heat insulation tiles of current ballistic missiles, it will take about 5 seconds to burn through 100 kilometers."
"Does this mean it can be used to protect against ballistic missiles?"
"If the position is right, we can barely intercept it. After all, there are two launch pads, and the high-pulse one is quite sharp. If such a large amount of energy hits it, the trajectory will definitely be affected."
He Mo stuck out his tongue: "Does that mean... we will be invincible in the air from now on?"
Ye Ming gave her a helpless look.
Director Niu also looked at her like she was a fool.
He Mo immediately raised his hand: "Okay, okay, I understand - no one can bear the saturation attack."
——Yes, if the location is right and there is a helium-3 engine to generate electricity and a supercapacitor, there is no problem in intercepting a single ballistic missile and causing it to deviate from its orbit.
But if we really suffer a saturation blow...
It is really wishful thinking to think of stopping it just by a ship.
In fact, these two laser launchers, including missile launchers, are essentially set up to intercept certain "sudden diseases" air-to-air missiles.
Judging from the current situation, the probability of ballistic missiles landing in China is indeed low.
But a certain fighter plane suddenly climbed very high, and then "recognized the wrong target", and then launched two beyond-visual-range air-to-air missiles...
The probability of this happening...
There really are still some.
Otherwise, why should the San Miss Project be kept secret? It’s because it doesn’t give some people a chance to think it through.
——Of course, when the launch is approaching, it will definitely be announced globally, and it will even be broadcast live worldwide.
"Okay, you go to bed early." Director Niu glanced at his watch and stood up.
"Well, He Mo will send Director Niu to me." Ye Ming glanced at He Mo and replied with a smile.
…
After a while, Director Niu and He Mo returned to the next room together.
Director Niu glanced around, and didn't bother to walk inside. He sat directly on the bed - He Mo's room was not a suite.
"Can I have a chair?"
"My butt is not dirty." Director Niu chuckled and said, "How is your work lately?"
"...Very good." He Mo replied casually and opened the shoe cabinet next to him.
"That's fine." Although Director Niu was still smiling, his eyes became a little serious: "Do you have any ideas about changing your work?"
He Mo was changing his shoes. Hearing this, he looked up in shock, with a look of disbelief on his face: "What do you mean?"
"I'm asking you if you want to change your job."
"Does the organization have any objections to me?" He Mo threw down his slippers and walked up to Director Niu, his chest starting to rise and fall.
"No." Director Niu saw her looking like a calf and laughed again: "Sit down and talk."
"Boss, how dare I sit down if you don't explain me clearly?"
"Okay...actually, several ***d systems have completed a comprehensive assessment of Aita."
Hearing this, He Mo's eyes widened instantly!
"Are you going to Aita?"
Director Niu glanced out the window and nodded slowly.
"The direct-connect optical fibers in several major bases are now being laid in full swing, and the laying will be completed by the end of the year at the latest."
"Once the installation is completed, it means that our various system terminals throughout the country will have a two-way and one-way response speed within 30 milliseconds. However, the project to go online is huge, and it also needs someone who knows Aita very well to preside over it.
"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Director Niu paused as he spoke: "For now, you know Aita best."
He Mo stopped talking.
Director Niu is right, she is indeed... the person who knows the most about Aita and the Yinta system - the book that is now included in the textbooks of all colleges and universities that offer Yinta system courses was "edited" by her.
Moreover, she has followed Ye Ming for so long, and Ye Ming has never had any reservations about her academically.
But...because of this, He Mo felt...
"Is this the only solution?" He Mo bit his lip and asked softly: "If it is the only solution, of course I will obey the order. If there are other plans..."
"And, after I leave, will I have to send someone over?"
Director Niu nodded: "He really needs someone as a bridge of communication, whether it's security or anything else."
"Then I think...if there are other plans, it's best not to change people." He Mo said seriously: "He really doesn't like changes in the environment around him."
Director Niu frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
The next day, accompanied by Director Niu, Ye Ming arrived at a research center at a spaceport in a low-key manner.
Because it was the time for engine assembly, and he was in charge of the Xicang Assembly Center, Director Zhang did not appear in the welcoming crowd, and was greeted personally by Academician Gu.
Moreover, among the welcoming crowd, there was another group of people wearing military uniforms.
…
"Academician Gu, Academician Qin."
Ye Ming quickly shook hands with the two and exchanged greetings.
Academician Gu is from the aviation industry and has been making great achievements in the field of supercapacitors, while Academician Qin is from the military industry and has been leading the development of high-power laser weapons.
The two men gathered together, apparently to test the supercapacitor.
"Haha, Professor Xiaoye - no, it should be Academician Xiaoye soon!" Academician Qin had a military demeanor, holding Ye Ming in his big hands, and joked with a smile - the two of them had actually met a few times in the video.
"Uh, don't dare, don't dare..."
"Why don't you dare? It's a done deal!" Academician Qin waved his hand: "Let's go, I'm waiting for you!"
…
The group of people went to the base, and after observing a "laser cannon" as they wished - yes, it is the kind of light that makes a "chirp, chirp, chirp" sound in science fiction movies - burning a hole in the steel plate, everyone returned to the base.
The conference room next to it.
"That's it, Academician Gu."
Ye Ming pondered for a moment and then said softly: "It may be a problem with previous communication. In fact, when we designed the spacecraft, we adhered to the concept of working hard to achieve miracles."
Academician Gu looked at him seriously.
"Otherwise we wouldn't use the supercapacitor solution, right?" Ye Ming said with a smile.
Everyone nodded in unison.
The so-called supercapacitor is actually a farad capacitor - it can be charged and discharged many times.
Compared with lithium batteries, its advantages are very obvious.
First of all, the charging time is extremely fast, from a few seconds to a few minutes, it can be charged to more than 95%.
Secondly, the power density is high. The power density can usually reach more than 100w/kg, which is about 10 times that of lithium batteries.
The final cycle life is extremely long - starting from 100,000 times.
The only disadvantage is that its energy density is low, and commercial supercapacitors are only about 5% of lithium batteries.
In short, it is the only one that can achieve short-term high-power storage and discharge - of course, a flywheel will work, but it is obviously not suitable for use on a spacecraft.
"So, we don't need to tackle the technical difficulties on it, as long as it can complete the requirements in terms of power and energy."
Academician Gu frowned slightly: "You mean just add a few capacitors and that's it?"
Ye Ming coughed lightly: "Theoretically, this is true - you see, the energy cabin has enough margin."
Academician Gu immediately stopped talking.
Director Niu took a deep look at Ye Ming.
Ye Ming was unmoved and smiled slightly: "Of course, the fact that this first ship can be so extravagant and wasteful does not mean that every ship in the future can do this - we still have to pursue technological revolution, right?"
After hearing this, Academician Gu's expression looked much better and he nodded.
Although it is indeed difficult to complete the supercapacitor and the entire storage and discharge system, it is only an engineering difficulty.
With Aita's help, this is nothing.
There is no truly revolutionary technological breakthrough in this project.
Frankly speaking... this did make Academician Gu a little dissatisfied - especially after using his patent, it did not achieve a design of 1 1 greater than 2.
Now what Ye Ming means is that there is no need to be so "advanced"...
Even the current solution to the problem is still very low-level...
"And I have been thinking about the management of supercapacitors during this time. I suspect that the real problem may lie in the power devices."
Academician Gu was startled and immediately looked at Ye Ming: "How do you say that?"
"Power devices have now been fully transferred to..." Ye Ming paused, he still didn't like to say "Ye Dy".
"Carbodysprosium compound." Ye Ming said with a smile: "We have been analyzing the properties of this compound in the laboratory in the past. You can take a look if you are free."
As he spoke, Ye Ming ordered Aita to send a document to Academician Gu.
The latter looked at the notebook for only a few glances, and then immediately moved closer to the monitor, as if he wanted to get into the computer.
When everyone saw this, they all looked at Ye Ming.
Especially Director Niu, his mouth widened slightly in surprise.
Ye Ming shrugged slightly and told him with his mouth.
Done!
…
Half an hour later, Ye Ming left Academician Gu's office and then came to Academician Qin.
Lao Niu has been waiting for Academician Qin for a long time.
"Haha, welcome, Academician Xiaoye." Academician Qin served him tea with a smile: "How did you deal with Lao Gu?"
"Actually, I just gave him a new one..."
"Ye Dy," Academician Qin added with a smile.
"Ahem... Well, it's the unpublished characteristics of that crystal." Ye Ming smiled and took a sip of tea: "As long as a group of proprietary power devices are redesigned according to the new characteristics, the current problem can be solved in theory."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "But there is no time." Ye Ming breathed out softly and looked at the calendar.
No matter how fast Ye Ming completes the design and arranges the tape-out, it still requires engineering work. In addition, the entire capacitor circuit management and control system must be adjusted.
——This is the result that Ye Ming has simulated many times.
Therefore, if we have to wait for Academician Gu to complete it, the assembly progress of the entire spacecraft will be delayed for at least three to four months.
It would be better for Ye Ming to send a favor and let Lao Gu finish the current project goals with peace of mind before launching new technologies on the next spacecraft.
And according to Ye Ming's estimation, Academician Gu's supercapacitor is indeed worth trying - when the engine's electrical conversion rate is doubled, it can quadruple the peak power that current supercapacitors can provide!
This means... that it can be equipped with more powerful laser weapons!
"Yes... time waits for no one!" Academician Qin touched his gray hair and sighed with a smile: "I never thought that one day laser weapons would be used on spacecrafts."
Director Niu chuckled and said: "Only a controllable nuclear fusion engine can provide the power of a laser weapon!"
Ye Ming coughed: "To be precise, it's a helium 3 fusion engine!"
"Then tell me, what kind of weapons do they use in the American space program?" Academician Qin is also a wonderful person. He winked at Ye Ming: "Don't use laser weapons? Or boil water in space?"
Ye Ming and Director Niu laughed at the same time.
If you can't handle the helium-3 engine, even if your deuterium-tritium fusion engine goes to heaven... you can still use plasma beams to generate electricity, but how can that amount of electricity be compared with helium-3 fusion?
Amid laughter, Yin Ta's voice suddenly sounded in Ye Ming's ears.
——"Ye Ming, Professor Huo Laien sent an email. He is currently on a plane from Java to Hong Kong."
