Chapter 262: Science and technology competition between major powers, one experiment, one billion dollars!
"The superconducting material has a parallel spiral structure layout. After being energized and entering the superconducting state, a transverse AC gravity field is generated."
"The strength exceeds 70%, and the force field drives the equipment to lose weight..."
Wang Hao continued to stare at the blowhole of the 'small fountain' without moving his eyes.
He was very surprised.
The direction of the AC gravity field is related to the internal microscopic morphology, but he did not expect that the field force structure would be horizontal.
He initially thought the experiment had failed, but he didn't expect to see such a scene.
In fact, the decision to remove the eight-node structure and adopt a spiral horizontal arrangement was just to conduct an experiment. Only by collecting data through special experiments can we prepare for subsequent experiments.
This new discovery is very unexpected.
But it is normal to think about it. The phenomenon of AC gravity can only be said to have started research. They have not fully understood the theory. If they conduct new designed experiments, they may discover some new phenomena.
Much of physics begins with accidental discoveries in the laboratory.
Even the alternating gravity field is a phenomenon discovered by He Lan's team accidentally when doing research related to superconductivity.
There is definitely a huge discovery in front of us. Whether it is research related to AC gravity or the theoretical shaping of microscopic morphology, it will have a huge advancement effect.
The same is true for the system task prompt, "Task 4, inspiration value +13."
This new discovery is very helpful in shaping the internal microscopic morphology of CA005. For research on S-level difficulty, a one-time increase of 13 points of inspiration is already a big improvement.
Nowadays, experimental progress has surpassed theory, and theories can only be deduced based on experimental findings. This is the case in most physical research. Some content is discovered in experiments, and then the underlying theory is improved.
After the experiment ended, He Yi, Liu Yunli and others got up and went to the conference room.
Everyone's face was filled with excitement and seriousness. The excitement was because their experiments had made amazing discoveries, and the seriousness was for the next research.
"The first thing we have to do is to detect the intensity." Wang Hao said seriously, "Let's talk about how to design the detection."
Others immediately expressed their opinions.
Because the AC gravity field appears in the lateral area and the coverage is uncertain, detection is not easy and some new designs must be made.
The internal principle of the anti-gravity strength detection device is actually the same as the rise of a balloon in the anti-gravity area. It is not easy to place the detection device in a lateral position because the lateral space is filled, and the space between the conductors
The space will be filled with coolant, that is, liquid ammonia, and the detection device will be damaged if placed in it.
In addition, coolant spraying is also a big problem. The reason why coolant sprays out is because there is flow extrusion in the pipe. The position where the coolant sprays out is the air hole on it. The air hole is to balance the internal pressure.
In the past, the AC gravity field was at the top, so it would naturally not affect the inside of the equipment. The pressure in the cooling channel was balanced. But with the effect of AC gravity, the flow extrusion will cause the coolant to spray out from above.
The cooling pipes of the equipment must have air holes. Due to the effect of gravity, the air holes must remain at the top.
Of course.
These are just minor issues, and it's easy to find several design solutions.
After a series of detailed discussions, the experimental team quickly came up with a new plan and began preparing for new experiments.
........
The experiment was conducted on the afternoon of the next day. The detection device had been placed inside the equipment, and some accompanying devices were also placed inside.
The pointer of the parameter can be seen directly, and it is simply disabled because it cannot be placed internally.
They can only take out all the testing equipment and calculate the accurate AC gravity field strength value after the experiment is over.
After the experiment ended on the second day, the participants in the experiment calculated
Detailed values are given.
At the internal meeting, He Yi gave a report. With excitement on his face, he said a numerical value, "Through detailed calculations, we found that the strength of the transverse AC gravity field is 74.86%."
When this value was revealed, others immediately exclaimed.
Wang Hao waved his hand to silence everyone.
He Yi continued, "We also tested the coverage area of the AC gravity field, but we were able to determine the edge of the range, which is about 0.3 meters away from the sideways side of CA005."
"Because the horizontal disk is a circle, the diffusion range of the AC gravity field is very similar."
"The width between the top and bottom is only about ten centimeters from the conductor cross surface."
"besides......."
He Yi made a detailed report on the experimental data.
After he finished his report, the conference room suddenly started discussing, and everyone was very surprised.
The first is the intensity of the AC gravity field, which is close to 75%.
This value is very amazing.
If it is an object with a mass of one ton, the weight will be reduced to 750 kilograms, leaving only 250 kilograms, and the corresponding gravity will naturally be greatly reduced.
If we can increase the strength of the AC gravity field, the effect will be doubled!" Liu Yunli said with surprise.
"Indeed it is."
"If the weight is increased by another ten percent, the weight will be doubled again!"
"If it can be increased to more than 90%, it will be equivalent to creating an isolation gravity field..."
"Even the current data is very impressive, and we use materials with a critical temperature of 93K, so the cost of use is very low!"
"The current 75% is amazing..."
Just saying that the value of 75% is amazing, the anti-gravity strength is as high as 75%, but the value itself has application significance.
The most basic one can directly create a weight loss area, which can be used as a training ground for astronauts without any problem.
Of course, the most attractive thing is the anti-gravity flying device. Many people have begun to imagine designing small 'anti-gravity flying vehicles' or super-large 'anti-gravity floating fortresses'.
The anti-gravity design is completely different from existing flying devices.
For example, fighter jets and civilian space shuttles can fly in the air using wind propulsion, and they all need to keep flying to stay in the air.
The flying device designed with anti-gravity technology uses anti-gravity technology and can float directly in the air.
In addition, flying devices designed with anti-gravity technology are definitely much more flexible than existing flying devices because there is no worry about falling.
Of course.
Anti-gravity flying devices are still only in their imaginations. They have only developed the relevant technologies, and it will take a long time to continue to improve them before they can be used.
In any case, they also see hope, unlike before, where the basis of anti-gravity was simply regarded as a 'testing' technology for superconducting materials.
Thinking of the future prospects, everyone in the laboratory is very motivated and devoted to the research and improvement of technology.
at the same time.
There is a big news related to anti-gravity technology in the world, and the publisher is Amerikan Los Alamos National Laboratory.
Los Alamos Laboratory has publicly announced that it has achieved anti-gravity technology with a strength of more than 50%, using high-temperature superconducting materials.
A spokesman for the laboratory publicly stated in an interview, "Our recent research has greatly improved the anti-gravity strength."
"Fifty percent is a very important figure, which means that any object entering the area will lose twice as much weight."
"Our research uses high-temperature superconducting materials, and the research also greatly reduces the cost of use."
"This technology will be used in various fields of technology in the future..."
As for the application, you can use your imagination
.
The news announced by the Los Alamos Laboratory was reported by many American media, and some media began to imagine related applications.
Many people immediately thought of military and aerospace applications, such as rocket launchers and electromagnetic ejection technology on aircraft carriers.
The former is still in theory.
The latter can be directly applied. Anti-gravity devices made of high-temperature superconducting materials can be used in electromagnetic ejection technology.
This will double the weight of the fighter above, which will double the acceleration on the aircraft carrier and allow the fighter to take off faster.
In addition, because the acceleration is doubled, the track of the electromagnetic ejection device can be shortened appropriately, which can greatly save space.
Many media have reported on the improvement of electromagnetic ejection technology.
The reason why we focus on the application of military science and technology is actually to strengthen a theme, which is the confrontation in the field of military science and technology in the world.
American can have huge international influence. The most important thing is that they have the most powerful military power, and they also need to maintain their strong advantages in military technology.
Now that there is new technology, it is natural to announce it in a high-profile way.
At the same time, public opinion propaganda in the media is also intended to suppress relevant domestic research.
In previous research in the fields of superconductivity and anti-gravity, China seemed to be ahead of American. A new superconductivity theory was proposed by domestic scientists, and superconducting materials exceeding 120K were also developed.
In the research of superconducting materials, American seems to be far behind, but they have taken the lead in the research of anti-gravity.
Los Alamos Laboratory.
Professor Philip Laurel is busy in the laboratory. They have just completed an AC gravity experiment and the intensity value obtained is 52%.
This value increased by 0.32% compared to last time. He looked at the detailed report of the experiment and couldn't help but feel a little proud. While sitting on the chair to rest, he read a series of related reports and smiled unconsciously.
Shake his head.
Media reports are still somewhat exaggerated.
Although they announced that they were using high-temperature superconducting materials, in fact, they only prepared 87K metallic superconducting materials and used them in AC gravity experiments, and the AC gravity field strength obtained was only 31%.
This is a relatively low value.
'Anti-gravity strength exceeding 50%' and 'Using high-temperature superconducting materials' have indeed been achieved in both researches, but they are not connected together.
But, that's what propaganda is.
To the outside world, we must talk about our technology as more high-end, so that we can get more attention and more funding.
The higher-level Ministry of Energy also thinks so. Only by promoting more high-tech and displaying high-end technologies related to science and technology can we gain more influence.
"Wang Hao's team is probably focused on the research of superconductivity, right?"
"They've been working on theories..."
"Even if there is progress in materials, it has nothing to do with anti-gravity. We only need to study anti-gravity technology. This is the advantage."
American's wave of publicity is indeed effective. After receiving the news in China, relevant departments have also begun to pay attention to anti-gravity research.
Although everyone knows that the research on superconductivity is the main direction, antigravity represents the high-end technology of the future, and related research must not lag behind others.
Xu Baogong was concerned about anti-gravity related research, and found that in recent times, there was no relevant progress reported at all.
In other words, there has been no progress in antigravity research.
This is actually not surprising.
The current exchange gravity research team is assisting in research related to superconducting materials and has not conducted new research, so there will naturally be no major progress.
In addition, they have already increased the strength of the communication neutral position to between 40% and 50%, and it is already very difficult to increase it further.
"Wang Hao is focusing on research on the superconducting mechanism.
After all, I definitely have no intention of caring about communication gravity..."
"That's right, theory is more important."
"But we can't fall behind..."
Xu Baogong was thinking about it and wanted to know about the research progress, so he simply asked Du Kai.
Du Kai is the head of the newly established Superconducting Materials Industry Company. He was once the general manager of the Shipbuilding Industry Group and has rich experience in company management.
He is responsible for spearheading the formation of the new company.
From site selection, planning to establishment, including finance, funding, etc., Du Kai is fully responsible. Even the allocation and use of R&D funds before the establishment of the company is supervised and managed by Du Kai.
Of course.
Du Kai still has no access to the funds of the superconducting materials experimental group for the time being. He only has the authority to check the use of funds and does not have direct management authority.
"Manager Du, how is the research over the West Sea? Is there any new progress?"
Xu Baogong asked directly.
Du Kai just checked the research team's use of funds. When he heard Xu Baogong's question, he smiled bitterly, "I don't know if the research has made any progress, but the funds have been consumed very quickly recently, hundreds to tens of millions every day, and they are all
It’s the loss on the anti-gravity side.”
"The materials team has been working hard to prepare a new material called CA005."
"Is there any new material?" Xu Baogong's eyes lit up after hearing this.
"It starts with CA." Du Kai explained, "Three new materials were developed last time, but the critical temperatures were not high. CA005 was only 93K."
Xu Baogong thought about it and asked, "Why do we need to prepare this new material?"
"It seems that the anti-gravity team wants to use it." Du Kai said, "And it uses a lot. Almost everyone in the materials team is busy preparing this new material, and it is too expensive."
"Want a lot?"
"a lot of!"
Du Kai said, "I asked Deng Huanshan, and he seemed to say that a very large experiment needs to be carried out. It is estimated that it will be needed to prepare this material in the past half month."
Xu Baogong said nonchalantly, "The research should be useful."
He has absolute trust in Wang Hao.
The anti-gravity team had such a big demand, so it must be some kind of experiment, and he actually became interested in the experiment.
........
The experiment went really well.
After the experiment made new discoveries, Wang Hao immediately organized follow-up demonstrations. Through two experiments, the strength of the transverse AC gravity field was increased to 80.72%.
This value is very astonishing, but Wang Hao feels that there is still room for improvement.
"The biggest limitation now is materials."
Wang Hao said at the meeting, "We need to design larger equipment and increase the arrangement of spiral combinations."
"In addition, we also need to design another device, which will use a vertical spiral design of materials to see if the thickness of the AC gravity field can be increased to cover a larger area."
Wang Hao is very interested in the 'anti-gravity flying car'.
The design of the vertical spiral is to increase the coverage area. Only by increasing the coverage area can various devices and equipment be filled in the area, and the "flying" of the equipment can be realized.
Therefore, both strength and coverage area must be strong, and large-scale experiments must be conducted, and the original quantity of materials is not enough.
"At least more than ten tons of CA005 are needed." Wang Hao roughly estimated a number.
Because it is prepared by laboratory means, the speed of material production is really too slow. It consumes a lot of money every day and can only prepare less than 20 kilograms at the fastest.
Until now, the total materials they have are less than 300 kilograms.
If the demand is for ten tons of CA005, the experimental team will need to be busy for more than a year, and the cost will exceed one billion.
Funding is not a big issue.
As long as you simply report the results, the funds will definitely be approved.
Come, but it takes too long.
"It seems that we need more manpower to specialize in manufacturing materials and expand production."
Wang Hao thought about it and simply went to the materials experimental group to see their preparation situation.
He mentioned the experimental requirements by the way.
Deng Huanshan was stunned when he heard this. He opened his mouth in surprise and asked exaggeratedly, "What? Do you need ten tons?"
"Professor Wang, we are now fully producing, no more than 20 kilograms per day."
"Ten tons, we will be exhausted..."
Listening to the data of 'ten tons', he almost wanted to cry.
Wang Hao nodded in understanding, "Okay, I'll apply to my superiors."
Deng Huanshan said, "There is no need to apply to the Ministry of Science and Technology. You can just ask Du Kai. He is in charge of new enterprises and our research-related affairs. It will definitely be no problem to find ways to coordinate with him."
"Du Kai? Okay."
Wang Hao only met Du Kai once, on the day Du Kai came to Xihai. He picked up the phone and called him. Later, he thought about it and just called him directly.
Du Kai was processing documents in the office to establish a manufacturing company for superconducting materials. He was responsible for too much work and he was busy all day long.
Wang Hao came to the door and directly stated his needs.
Du Kai was stunned, "What? Professor Wang, one ton of CA005? Isn't it enough prepared in the laboratory?"
"We're going to do a big experiment."
Wang Hao shook his head and said, "Haven't you already introduced some basic equipment? In this way, first cooperate with the laboratory to help us produce some new materials."
Du Kai grinned vigorously.
The ten-ton CA005 is no joke. The basic equipment they introduced is for the construction and production of CM001 and CMO02.
CA005 is not in the plan at all.
Du Hai thought about it carefully and said depressedly, "How about this, Professor Wang, let's apply together. I can't decide on such a big move and such a huge expense by myself..."
"
"Also, do you have any results? It would be best if you have results."
Wang Haodao said, "In terms of results, we are confident. We have made new breakthroughs in anti-gravity technology, and it is estimated that there will be no problem with funding approval from our superiors."
"That's no problem."
Du Kai breathed a sigh of relief after speaking. In fact, he was still a little unsure about the application.
That can easily amount to several hundred million, or even more.
The focus of current research is on superconducting materials. Such a large amount of money wasted on the research of superconducting materials will definitely be supported.
But, antigravity research?
I guess the superiors still need to have a serious discussion. This is not to say that anti-gravity technology is not worth hundreds of millions, but it is mainly a one-time cost of several hundred million.
The two are completely different.
If a project costs several hundred million, there will definitely be no problem.
However, what Wang Hao asked for was only the cost of materials for one experiment, which also required the participation of many technical personnel and even the use of basic equipment from the new company to assist production.
They want to conduct a large-scale experiment, and the material requirements are one billion. Who knows if there will be other needs in the future? It is estimated that there will be more expenses.
Then it’s not just a few hundred million, maybe it’s billions or tens of billions!
This level of funding loss cannot be solved with just one application report.
