Chapter 498: The space station faces a direct threat, astronaut: I will never come again!
F-ray generation technology that uses deuteron fusion as built-in energy still has a lot of room for improvement.
One direction is the underlying superconducting material.
The underlying superconducting material supports the creation of stronger annihilation force fields, including the strength of anti-gravity fields and strong annihilation force field thin layers.
The underlying superconducting material currently used in nuclear fusion center devices is based on a-iron element, which is a conventional first-order iron-based superconducting material. A-iron element will produce special phenomena, and the intensity of the annihilation force field created will be greatly affected.
limits.
If it is replaced by a superconducting material made of beta elements, no special phenomena will occur, and the intensity of the annihilation force field created will naturally be greatly improved.
The central device is made of iron A mainly because of safety.
The initial design relied on a-iron, and beta-iron was only used for experiments later. There is not much relevant experimental data, so it naturally lacks safety.
The second direction is to upgrade raw materials and use first-order deuterium materials for fusion reactions.
The nuclear physics research team has conducted first-order deuterium-deuterium explosion experiments and collected a lot of data, which can determine that the reaction intensity of first-order deuterium-deuterium fusion is higher, which means that the energy produced per unit material is higher, and the central device obtains
The built-in energy intensity has a positive correlation with the F-ray duration.
However, higher energy intensity means it is more difficult to control.
This is also the reason why first-order deuterium was not chosen as the raw material.
After the F-ray release experiment ended, various test data came out, and one of the important data was a bit disappointing.
"The f-ray intensity we calculated is 14.9T to 15.8T, and the reference benchmark is the magnetization intensity of tin-platinum-lead alloy."
Xiang Qiansheng explained to others, "The tin-platinum-lead alloy material was discovered by the calculation team of the Materials Testing Center. There is a relationship between the magnetization data of this material and the strength of the annihilation force field that conforms to a quadratic function curve."
"We did a lot of research to determine that the relationship is accurate."
He added, "It is accurate at least below the 20x annihilation field strength."
Scholars from the Institute of Materials Science and Technology of the Academy of Sciences were suddenly disappointed.
Scholars from these materials institutes are very much looking forward to participating in the experiment, because they will be able to come into contact with magnetized materials produced by high-magnification annihilation force fields for the first time.
They all envied Wang Hui and Zhou Qing very much.
In fact, there is no scholar in the field of basic chemical material research in China who does not envy Wang Hui and Zhou Qing. They work in the annihilation force field experimental group and can obtain magnetized materials produced by high-magnification annihilation force fields at the first time, which means that
Able to discover 'new upgraded elements' or other new elements and material properties immediately.
That's almost the result that's just around the corner.
Now they finally have the opportunity to come into contact with magnetized materials produced by high-magnification annihilation force fields for the first time. As a result, the intensity of the F-rays produced is not satisfactory.
This intensity cannot keep up with the technology of the annihilation force field experimental team.
But there is still a lot to look forward to.
Even though the Annihilation Force Field Experiment Team has produced similar magnetized materials and has been carefully studied by the Materials Testing Center, they are still considered the second research team.
The first one will definitely lead to many new discoveries.
the second……
Maybe there will be new discoveries?
Wang Hao didn't care so much. Magnetized materials were just by-products of technology. What was important was that the intensity of F-rays was not satisfactory.
He originally hoped to exceed 20 times, but he can understand it if he thinks about it carefully.
The impact of the built-in energy intensity of the equipment on F-rays is mainly reflected in the duration and coverage. The improvement effect of F-ray intensity cannot even keep up with the influence of high magnetic interference.
"We still have to use beta elements!"
"Only by directly increasing the strength of the annihilation force field can the intensity of F-rays be greatly increased..."
"There is a direct relationship between the two."
"However, using beta elements means building a second nuclear fusion device. I don't know when it will take..."
Wang Hao could only shake his head helplessly.
…
When the nuclear fusion engineering team held an experiment summary meeting, the Amerikan National Satellite Center building on the other side of the earth was also discussing issues related to F-rays.
They are not discussing F-rays, but the 'black lines' captured by satellites.
An image analyst named Montero Baikal zoomed in on a photo taken by a satellite to the maximum extent and discovered that a black line appeared in the left area.
Even though the image was taken away from the sun and the surrounding area was dark, even the weak light was difficult to see, and the black lines still looked quite obvious.
It's a straight line of pure black.
Montero Baikal felt something was wrong. He pursed his lips and waved to the colleague next to him, "Lem, look what is this? The lens seems to be broken."
"Frame dropped?"
"No, there is a linear crack. It is very thin and can only be seen after magnification."
Lime came over to take a look and said nonchalantly, "Is it normal? Maybe it won't be there during the day."
"……All right."
Montero Baikal thought about it and realized that it was no big deal. It was just a black line after enlarging the photo. Similar situations would occur with many lens equipment.
He thought about it carefully, took a note, and uploaded the photo to the system.
This matter is over.
A few hours later, Adrian Davis was getting ready to get off work. When he was packing his things, he found a reminder. He clicked on it and realized that it was a message from the space monitoring team.
This message contains a photo, which was taken by the high-magnification camera of the International Space Station. The photo was taken with its back to the Earth, and the entire picture is dim.
Against a dark background, a black line appears in the edge corner of the photo.
The space monitoring team also sent an inquiry message, "The appearance of this black line is very abnormal. We have determined that there is nothing wrong with the camera that took the photo."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Has the satellite center made similar discoveries?"
This is a routine inquiry.
In fact, a large number of similar things happen every day in satellite centers and space monitoring teams, and generally no one cares about them at all.
Adrian Davis didn't pay attention. He looked at the photo carefully and felt that it was just the light effect or the electronic equipment was interfered with. In short, there were many possibilities.
When he was about to reply, out of caution, he checked the information uploaded today and found the Montero Baikal record.
He looked through the photos uploaded by Montero and compared them with the photos sent by the space inspection team, and suddenly became serious.
"Is it a coincidence? Or what's the problem?"
"It's not just a coincidence in the photo. After calculation, the position directly opposite the black line is close to the nuclear fusion center device."
"This...can it still be a coincidence?"
Adrian Davis was a little confused, so he uploaded the two photos and the corresponding information to the intelligence center.
His work ends here.
What exactly that black line is requires other departments to make judgments.
Amrican's intelligence center works 24 hours a day, and they received the information uploaded by Adrian as soon as possible.
If the ground location directly opposite the black line was not the nuclear fusion center device, they would most likely not care at all. The current situation is different.
The person in charge of the intelligence center immediately thought of annihilation rays. He immediately found the experts in the team and also contacted scholars at the Groom Lake Project Experimental Base to help with analysis.
A large group of people analyzed and came up with a result--
"There is a 50% chance that the black line is the annihilation ray, and it is the annihilation ray released by the nuclear fusion center device."
The intelligence center immediately reported to the higher-level decision-makers, "It is normal for black lines to appear on the photos, but it is unlikely that several incidents will occur at the same time."
"First of all, the detection satellite and the space station captured the black line at almost the same time, and the duration was between 13 and 18 seconds."
"Secondly, the location directly opposite the black line is the Huazhongjia nuclear fusion project base."
"at last……"
The person in charge of the intelligence center said, "We already know about annihilation rays, and we also know that annihilation rays are related to annihilation field equipment. I have asked several top scholars, including Korot from Cooper's team, and I have confirmed one thing.
A nuclear fusion device can actually be regarded as a complex annihilation force field generating device."
"Adding several pieces of information together, we have reason to believe that the black lines are annihilation rays. In other words, the nuclear fusion team is using the central device to conduct annihilation ray generation experiments..."
The results of this speculation are terrible.
The decision-makers felt frightened when they heard this. The most frightening thing was not that the black line was captured, but that the black line lasted for more than ten seconds.
If the black line is an annihilation ray, it means that the annihilation ray technology mastered by flower growers can easily hit low-altitude satellites and even the International Space Station.
The No. 1 decision-maker rubbed his forehead hard while listening to the report.
They previously thought that annihilation rays were dangerous and could directly threaten satellites, but they did not think that the florist's annihilation ray technology could directly hit satellites.
Threat and being able to hit are two different things.
For example, a new country has manufactured a certain missile, and the coverage distance of its missile already includes the territory of another country.
Another country can say, "This missile technology already poses a threat to us."
In fact, because it is a new technology being researched, the threat is still very small.
Maybe the country whose territory is covered by missiles has a complete anti-missile system, but there is a high probability that the newly developed missiles will be far from accurate, etc.
Threat means 'possible impact'; being able to hit means direct impact.
It's like someone took a knife on the road, and another person has put the knife on the other person's neck, and can kill the other person with just one force.
Which situation is more terrifying?
Of course there is no need to answer this.
This is how the No. 1 decision-maker feels now. The annihilation ray technology possessed by the flower growers is no longer 'able to threaten', but 'able to directly hit', not just low-altitude satellites, but even directly hitting the International Space Station.
And they...
There is no way to deal with it.
It is not only the International Space Station that faces threats, but also direct military deterrence. Most reconnaissance satellites are in low orbits at an altitude of 120 to 200 kilometers and medium orbits at an altitude of 350 to 1,500 kilometers.
There is no need to worry about military communication satellites. Generally, communication satellites are geostationary satellites with an altitude of approximately 35,786 kilometers.
"But it's not necessarily true. Since it can reach 400 kilometers, who knows that it can't reach tens of thousands of kilometers?"
"If they use this kind of foundation, our satellites may be paralyzed, and even basic communications and positioning will not be possible..."
Thinking about it carefully, my scalp feels numb!
…
The various departments of American communicated and analyzed the impact of annihilation ray technology together, and finally found that they were unable to do anything at all.
Now we can either directly launch a war and launch missiles to destroy the nuclear fusion center device.
That is impossible.
In the absence of a fatal conflict, no one has the courage to trigger a war that may destroy all mankind, and it is impossible to get any support. No one can bear the consequences of the war.
As for conventional warfare...
The result of their joint deduction was... they couldn't beat it!
The Flower Planters have high-end airship flying saucers that can form a coverage strike against an aircraft carrier. Only one coverage strike is enough to destroy an aircraft carrier formation.
How to fight this?
In the end, the result of the discussion is appeal and condemnation.
Amerikan disclosed information from the intelligence center and started condemnation mode. Many influential figures stood up and shouted, "Flowers should not develop space weapon technology. High-end technology should be used in the field of economic development instead of manufacturing satellite weapons."
!”
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "This is not only an anti-satellite weapon, but also an anti-human weapon, which will affect every aspect of people's lives."
"This will pose a direct threat to the earth!"
"Florists must stop their experiments and disclose technical information so we can ensure space safety..."
"Our space station is under threat."
"Nuclear fusion technology can only be used to generate electricity and create energy, not direct space weapons..."
"..."
Ameriken is very effective in creating public opinion. International public opinion has taken a huge turn from talking about high-end nuclear fusion technology to talking about 'annihilation ray technology'.
"This technology can directly destroy satellites!"
"I thought it was just a threat before, but I didn't expect it to hit directly. This kind of ray can last for more than ten seconds, and it can hit any satellite!"
"This technology is really scary!"
"The space station is under the greatest threat. As long as the flower growers are willing, they can destroy the space station at any time. They may do so out of some kind of psychology..."
"After doing this, there will only be a space station for flower growers in space."
"..."
The remarks related to the threat of the space station hit the point.
Most ordinary people are not worried because the public information only talks about photos taken by the space station, and the International Space Station is only 400 kilometers away from the ground.
Most civilian satellites are more than a thousand kilometers away from the ground, or even more than 10,000 kilometers away.
In other words, annihilation rays do not threaten civilian satellites, but the threat to the space station is real, so the astronauts on the space station became the ones who were frightened.
Astronauts working on the International Space Station can also use communications to get news, and they can use computers normally just like on the ground.
They all saw the news.
Danny Brinks is one of the working astronauts. To be precise, he is a botanist who came to the space station to conduct research on plant growth in space.
For this space trip, he had been training for a year, but he didn't expect that he would be threatened by ground weapons just after he went into space.
"I'm going to end my mission quickly, I want to go home."
"I also want to see my family. Space is already dangerous enough. I didn't expect it to be threatened by high-end weapons. I don't want to die here..."
"Are all the news above true?"
"Hurry up and contact the headquarters and send a ship to pick me up..."
Of course these cries are meaningless.
If you are an ordinary staff member, you can just leave if you feel the working environment is not good, but when you work on the International Space Station, it is impossible to leave.
The other three astronauts just watched the fun.
In fact, they are also very worried. They all know that the relationship between the flower grower and Amrican is not good, and the flower grower is conducting experiments on high-end weapons...
What if?
The International Space Station orbits the earth more than fifteen times every day, and every time it passes through China, there may be dangers. Especially after reading a lot of news reports, it feels like a "death alarm."
The space station may be destroyed at any time...
terrible!
Several astronauts thought that they would never come back up after returning to the ground.
