Chapter 677: Great journey, great work (Final chapter)!
The International Annihilation Theory Organization and the Continental Nuclear Organization respectively sent teams to the strong S-wave research group.
They come to understand experiments, techniques and theories, and to participate in experiments at a shallow level.
In the future, the two institutions will also cooperate in conducting some basic experiments.
All the scientific researchers who came to the research base are looking forward to the experimental work, and they are all very excited to participate in the wormhole technology research experiment.
Some of them are able to stay and work, while others are returning to work on a rotating basis.
As the Interstellar Project unfolds, the research will receive more abundant funding, the scale will continue to expand, and other countries and institutions will also send personnel.
At that time, relevant research will develop into a huge project around experiments.
…
With the contact between the upper management, the science and technology department and other countries and institutions, several more teams subsequently joined the project.
The interstellar project also started smoothly.
The original strong S-wave research base did not cooperate as the main base of the interstellar project, and the location of the new base was quickly determined. The location is 300 kilometers away from Xinchuan Province and is on the edge of the Xinchuan Basin.
To the south of this location is a vast plain with very heavy traffic, a vast area and sparsely populated areas.
After the location of the main base was determined, preliminary construction began quickly. A large amount of machinery, equipment and materials were transported, and a huge engineering team of several thousand people was put into construction work.
At the same time, upper-level negotiations are progressing very smoothly.
The science and technology department has reached cooperation intentions with more than 30 international countries and scientific research institutions, including influential countries such as American, Goose Country, and Faguo.
Personnel sent by all countries and corporate organizations that had negotiated cooperation gathered together to hold the first interstellar project project meeting.
The project meeting determined the formation of the Interstellar Project Project Committee.
Wang Hao served as the first chairman of the Interstellar Project Committee. During the voting process, even members of other national agencies voted for him, and other people participating in the election were just foils.
The project meeting also confirmed three vice-chairmen and 13 committee members, including Paul Phil-Jones and Colette James.
It is worth mentioning that Corot James joined the project on behalf of the Amerikan College Alliance organization, and the team he led will be responsible for part of the experimental work.
Paul Phil-Jones works in the Technical Theory Office and provides theoretical support for experimental work to various experimental teams.
In a way, Paul Phil-Jones and Korot James have become colleagues working together again.
After the project meeting ended, the interstellar project officially set sail.
The interstellar project is very large. The funds raised during the preliminary experimental establishment stage reached as high as 600 billion, and the number of participating scientists and engineers totaled more than 5,000.
The plan is divided into four parts.
The first part is to experimentally achieve 100% transmission of matter.
The second part is to build large-scale equipment so that the strong S-wave thin layer can be released at a distance measured in 'light years'.
The first two stages are parallel and are also called the ‘experiment establishment stage’.
The 'experimental establishment phase' is to lay the foundation for the subsequent huge projects. Only by achieving 100% transmission of matter and creating a wormhole that travels through space in light-year units can the spacecraft be able to achieve interstellar journeys in the future.
The third stage is the verification stage of small spacecraft. Creating a small manned spacecraft to pass through the wormhole and reach the end point safely completes the verification of the application of wormhole technology.
Finally, there is the preparation stage for extrasolar exploration, which is to learn about super-large spaceships and super-large wormhole equipment, and prepare for mankind's first inter-galactic journey.
…
After the interstellar plan was established, the first phase was quickly completed.
Using the technology provided by Fermilab, the team created a silicon ball that can maintain a strong magnetic field of 5T and weighs 1.4 kilograms. The silicon ball was placed into the black ball in a fast-moving state and was 100% transmitted into space.
The Thousand Falcon gravity spacecraft collected special silicon balls, and after bringing them back to the ground, they found that they were completely undamaged, that is, there was no loss of mass, and they were not affected by strong S waves.
Two years and three months later, the project team created a huge strong S-wave generating equipment, and through complex technology and analysis, determined that the strong S-wave release distance reached 0.3 light-years.
This distance is enough.
When the distance can be measured in 'light years', even if it is less than one light year, it is a major breakthrough in technology.
If larger equipment is built, the distance can reach several light years, or even dozens of light years.
After the first two stages are completed, the next step is to enter the spacecraft verification stage.
This stage is ongoing, and the spacecraft used for experiments is also built with the Thousand Falcon spacecraft as the main frame.
It will be expanded to 'jet energy powered' spaceships in the future.
The Thousand Falcon spacecraft uses electricity as its main energy source and initiates the manufacture of transverse anti-gravity lowering spacecraft to achieve the purpose of getting rid of gravity. The 'Jet Energy Powered' spacecraft uses jet energy as its main power source.
Conventional rockets and spacecraft both belong to this category of spacecraft. The difference is that the former uses fossil fuel, while the latter uses light pressure to eject.
Such a spacecraft will eject energy outwards, and the ejected energy will 'fill' the wormhole and escape, causing it to instantly reach the upper limit of the energy it can carry.
"The difference between the two is that the energy ejected instantly by the jet energy-powered spacecraft can make the wormhole reach the upper limit of the energy it can carry, and will increase the time the wormhole can be maintained."
"In this way, there is no need to use strong energy shock at the same time."
"At the same time, the energy intensity emitted by the jet energy-powered spacecraft is high, which may affect cross-space transmission..."
Theoretically, strong energy will not affect the experiment itself, but strong energy impact will make the equipment unsafe.
If there is a problem with the equipment, the experiment will naturally not be successful.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! So the most important thing is to isolate energy, which is also the most difficult part of the third stage.
With the participation of many top teams, various safety protection measures were taken for the experimental equipment, and precise calculations were performed based on the data. In the end, the problem was solved.
After another year and nine months, the project team successfully sent a Thousand Falcon spacecraft, whose surface can maintain a strong magnetic field, to a near-lunar orbit through a wormhole device, that is, to a position nearly 300,000 kilometers away from the earth.
This special Thousand Falcon spacecraft has many special passengers in the cab, including monkeys, mice, roosters, hamsters tied to chairs, as well as fixed types of plants, microbial tanks, etc.
Two days later, the Thousand Falcon spacecraft returned to the ground.
The animals in the cockpit were just a little sluggish, while the plants and microbial tanks were hardly affected. Subsequent analysis believed that the animals' condition was just due to their incompatibility with the weightless environment.
In other words, the experiment was a success!
At this moment, everyone in the project cheered, and many people felt incredible recalling it.
It has only been four and a half years since the interstellar project officially started, and they have completed the first three stages.
This speed is incredible!
At the beginning of the new plan, many participants believed that the plan would last for tens or hundreds of years. Just the establishment phase of the experiment will take more than ten years, and the third phase cannot be completed in a short time.
Now they can only be shocked by the rapid progress of the research.
Those who participated in the strong S-wave basic experiment were not surprised at all. They had been doing research with Wang Hao and felt that all kinds of research were done very quickly.
"What's so strange about this?"
"The project is led by Academician Wang Hao, and Academician Wang Hao's research has always been very fast."
"Now that we have completed three stages, the speed is still slow..."
"As for the research itself, the staff in the first three stages is still a bit bloated, especially in the first two stages, there is simply no need for so many people."
"This has slowed down the progress of the experiment..."
"But when it comes to the next stage, there won't be enough people!"
The fourth stage is the most difficult.
If you want to explore outside the system, you must know about super-large wormhole equipment and build super-large spaceships.
If it is a very large wormhole equipment, it cannot be manufactured on the ground, or even on the earth. It is best to do it in a vacuum so that the experiment is not disturbed by the air.
The final manufacturing location was chosen on the far side of the moon.
The moon is the closest planet to the earth, and there is almost no air on the moon.
If you want to build very large equipment on the back of the moon, you need to know about a very large base. The base needs to be able to accommodate a large number of people and maintain a strong power supply, that is, to build a large lunar power station.
This is very difficult.
Coupled with the requirements of the ultra-large equipment and the large spacecraft itself, it will definitely be a very huge project.
After entering the fourth stage, the senior members of the project team simply retired early.
That's what happened to Yuni Novotny.
He was reluctant to give up on research, but had to quit considering his age.
Even if he insists on staying on the project team, he will not be able to see the completion of the fourth phase.
Before he left, he sighed and said to Wang Hao, "I hope that while I am alive, I can see humans walking out of the solar system."
Wang Hao nodded vigorously and said seriously, "I will definitely do it!"
…
Seventeen years later, the Interstellar Project Ground Control Center.
Wang Hao stood directly in front of the big screen.
There was a group of people standing behind him.
Including Ding Zhiqiang, Chen Mengmeng, Wang Qiang, He Yi, Paul Phil Jones, Corot James, etc.
Chen Mengmeng and Ding Zhiqiang stood together, holding each other's hands.
Next to Helen stood a teenage child, who looked like a mixed race. The child's eyes were staring at Wang Hao's back, with a look of reverence in his eyes.
A picture of the moon base was displayed on the big screen.
First of all, what comes into view is a very large light pressure spacecraft, and in the distance there are a large number of people wearing space suits working.
Following each command, the huge light-pressure spacecraft turned on its power system and slowly floated up.
The staff in the distance have already gone to the underground base.
As the light pressure spacecraft flew, a huge black ball suddenly appeared in front of it, giving people a huge shock.
That's a wormhole!
This is not only a picture received by the control center, but also a picture received by all mankind.
In the screen, there is also an introduction from the host, "The Earth-1 spacecraft is preparing to enter the wormhole. The 1,300 scientific and technological workers and engineering personnel carried by the spacecraft will become the first batch of personnel to go to the X-301 galaxy.
…”
"The X-301 galaxy is 31 light years away from the earth. There is an Earth-like planet there, codenamed X-301 the third planet."
"The first destination of the Earth-1 spacecraft is the fourth planet X-301, which is nearly 300 million kilometers away from DY-20."
"It's a planet similar to Mercury."
"The Earth-1 spacecraft has an arduous mission. They will build a power station and wormhole equipment on the fourth planet X-301. By then, they will be able to open a wormhole channel between the Earth and the X-301 galaxy..."
