At the same time, experts from aerospace, military industry and other fields also arrived in Jiangcheng.
In the afternoon of that day, a research group code-named "Xia" was quietly established and held its first discussion meeting.
Before the meeting, Ye Ming first announced the news that inter-dimensional and long-distance communication had been achieved.
…
"The realization of cross-dimensional communication means that we can build a complete attack and defense system that relies on Aita, and the entire ship can be intelligent or even unmanned."
Ye Ming waited until everyone took a break from the discussion and continued: "Of course, it is always the person who controls the weapon. This is the principle."
Everyone nodded in unison, but someone immediately asked: "Will inter-dimensional communication be interfered with?"
"If electromagnetic shielding directly affects circuits and components, then it will definitely happen, but as far as the signal itself is concerned, it won't, unless someone masters dimensional weapons."
"Is interdimensional communication delay-free?"
"The delay currently measured is the delay of the terminal's data processing, which is within 3 milliseconds - this number does not increase as the distance increases."
"That means the missile can change lanes in time?"
"Yes, in theory it is."
Professor Huo Liang immediately pursed his lips: "How about a bird's plane? It would be great to directly cause a fully enclosed missile to launch a hedgehog."
"All missiles do not have the deterrent effect of launching aircraft in the entire airspace, which is contrary to the original intention of the design." Ye Ming looked at Huo Liang with a smile: "Mr. Huo, let's think about how to design this engine."
Professor Huo Liang, as the chief scientist of Yaoyue's first lunar landing, has not stopped working in Jiangcheng even though he has arrived on the moon. He is paying attention to the progress of the helium 3 commercial reactor every day.
It is obviously unrealistic to rely on engines to push up a space carrier of tens of thousands of tons. The only way is to rely on anti-gravity fields to lift it up, and then use the attitude engine to slowly accelerate into the air.
Therefore, the main discussion today is to determine the tonnage of the space carrier.
One hundred thousand tons, it's okay to use it to deceive the United States, but it's not necessary if it's really that exaggerated.
"There's nothing to think about. The core engine can only be designed as a generator set." Professor Huo Liang pursed his lips and frowned slightly: "Now our commercial reactor is designed to run at full power of 45,000 megawatts, which is close to two Three Gorges power stations.
.But if a gravity field is generated, it can only..."
Professor Huo Liang looked at Ye Ming.
Ye Ming lowered his head slightly, quickly asked Yin Ta to do the math in his mind and gave the answer: "35,000 tons."
"But the reactor itself occupies a very large space, basically half the size of the moon, and additional heat dissipation modules have to be considered." Professor Huo Liang frowned again: "The project is huge... This is really bigger than
Nuclear-powered aircraft carriers are much more difficult.”
"Yes, but if Party A has needs, we will try our best to meet them." Ye Ming held the pen and tapped gently on the notebook: "Let's finalize the rough specifications first."
Someone immediately said: "Then three engines, exactly 100,000 tons."
"No, engine maintenance and redundancy must be considered."
"The four engines?"
"What if two of them are damaged? What about the ship's electricity and laser weapons?"
…
This first meeting lasted for three hours, and everyone discussed it for a long time, and finally decided on the four-engine, 60,000-ton design plan.
Because taking into account maintenance, hull power consumption, power weapons, and redundancy protection in extreme situations, etc...
This is no different than a spacecraft like Yao Yue, which is either in orbit or on the ground, and does not have much time to actually use anti-gravity.
It is a suborbital vehicle that must contend with gravity at all times.
But even so, its construction cost has been roughly estimated at 300 billion—not counting design costs and other technical costs.
Of course, because of the existence of Aita, the cost of technology research and development has been greatly reduced, especially many of the technologies and modules on the Yaoyue No. can be directly used, so this 300 billion is basically enough.
During the meeting, there was a heavy rain in Jiangcheng. By the time after dinner, the heat had completely subsided.
Seeing that the weather was cool, Ye Ming didn't want to blow the air conditioner all day long, so he and Professor Huo took a walk in the research institute.
"Ye Ming, do you really support this space carrier project?"
Although the research center is heavily guarded, the environment inside is really good. Between the office building and the dormitory center, there is a garden full of flowers, a small pavilion and a pond.
After walking to the pavilion and sitting down, Professor Huo Liang looked at Ye Ming and asked seriously.
"Huh? Don't you support it?"
"I support it, but spending so much money to build such a big thing." Professor Huo Liang frowned slightly and shook his head slightly: "Aren't there battleships being built over there? How is the construction going?"
"Well... it's coming soon. It will probably be ready for test flight next year."
The battleship mentioned by Professor Huo Liang is a three-thousand-ton guided-missile airship built using the same engine and the same idea as Yaoyue. In the design, in addition to having a laser weapon device, the battleship also has
There are four strategic missile launch windows, twelve conventional missile launch windows, and twenty anti-air missile windows.
Corresponding to intercontinental strategic attack, medium-range strategic defense, and air self-defense attack respectively.
In Professor Huo Liang's opinion, this is enough in terms of practicality.
"The main thing is... our deterrence is not enough." Ye Ming was silent for a few seconds and said softly: "We just established a helium 3 factory on the moon, and now the relationship in the world... has changed. You may have heard in the past few days
Right? The European Union plans to increase its quota, and then South America also begins to plan to establish SAARC. After that, the United States jumps out and calls for American integration..."
Ye Ming shook his head slightly as he spoke.
Frankly speaking, he really did not expect that after the successful moon landing of the Yaoyue and the establishment of the helium 3 factory, it would cause such a huge chain reaction...
The current situation is as if everyone is a group of monkeys living in a pit, and one smart monkey is the first to find a way out of the pit.
This smart monkey said to the other monkeys, "I have found a way out of the trap. I will take you out." The other monkeys agreed.
But when the smart monkey really climbed to the entrance of the pit and could even reach the ground with his hands, the other monkeys immediately grabbed its hind legs.
It's not that they want the smart monkey to take them up, but they don't let them go up.
Now, what should the smart monkey do?
The best way is not to persuade and educate, but to hold a stone in your hand.
Whoever dares to hold it back will be hit in the head.
Professor Huo Liang frowned again, and after a moment, he took a long breath.
"If this is the case, then hurry up and send industrial robots to the moon directly next time."
"Yes, we are already doing it." Ye Ming pursed his lips and looked at the half moon gradually rising in the sky: "One day, we will realize the colonization of the unmanned resource planet."
