After completing the first geostationary satellite launch, it can be said to be a major breakthrough for the space exploration of the Sun and Moon Empire. After having a fixed anchor point in space, the difficulty of future positioning will be greatly reduced.
Next, we only need to launch two more satellites in synchronous orbits. Then the global positioning system can be initially constructed.
Perhaps a real satellite navigation system requires a larger number of satellites, perhaps seventy-seven, perhaps more, but this is already a matter of time. The cost of launching satellites for the Sun and Moon Empire is higher than in reality
The earth is too low. There is no need to consider the quality of the fuel itself. This is really a huge advantage.
So after the launch was successful, preparations for the next round of launch began in the second week. And this time, two satellites were launched at once to complete the satellite architecture of the synchronous orbit.
From a certain perspective, their space development plan is quite radical. But from another perspective, it is also the result of the explosion of technology that has accumulated to a certain extent in a short period of time. With standardized lathes and simple chip technology,
The industrial capabilities of the Sun and Moon Empire are undergoing a rapid development. And in the process of this rapid development, many cutting-edge technologies have also become popular.
In terms of technological level, the Empire of the Sun and Moon is actually no worse than the Earth in the 21st century. In many fields, it is beyond the reach of the people on Earth in the 21st century. However, their technology is limited to the hands of a few people and lacks effective utilization.
This has resulted in maintaining a backward, medieval pattern. As long as this pattern is broken and productivity is released, their technology will develop in a leapfrog manner.
It can be said that Lan Nuo was fully involved in the launch of the next two satellites. With his participation, both satellites were mounted on his Sunflower, and more precise mathematical tools were used to launch the satellites.
By arriving at a more accurate orbit, it saves a lot of trouble in adjusting the flight orbit.
"After the positioning of these three satellites is completed, the next task of our department is to launch people into space and return smoothly. At present, we are preparing to use the soul beast to conduct preliminary tests. After the soul beast enters space, its own soul power will be detected.
After changes, and whether it can land safely, real manned spaceflight tests will be carried out."
Kong Lingshu is now the aerospace minister of the Sun-Moon Empire. Compared to the technical staff who had no real power at all, she is now even the minister of a popular department in the Sun-Moon Empire.
The power he holds in his hands can be said to be among the best in the Sun and Moon Empire, but his performance has always been reassuring. He has always used the power in his hands to invest in scientific research and has never exceeded his authority.
Engage in some political struggle or something like that.
It was this scientific research spirit that made everyone willing to carry out technology development under his leadership. After hearing that the next goal was manned spaceflight, everyone became excited and launched satellites to
Being in the sky and launching people into the sky are completely different concepts. If people can enter the sky, then can the thousands of stars in the sky also become their next destination, on other planets?
Is there a planet like the one they are on now? With prosperous and splendid life.
It is these curiosity about the future that drives them to move towards the future step by step and push technology to a higher peak step by step.
"The next thing to discuss are some technical details. You should also realize that there is no soul power in space. In other words, the density of soul power is very small. The soul power of a bottle in outer space will increase faster.
It is lost at a relatively fast rate. And if our human body is in a soul power vacuum environment, the soul power in the body will also be lost relatively quickly, and it cannot be replenished after use.
This is an urgent problem that needs to be solved after individuals enter space. Because we cannot be sure whether the loss of soul power will cause harm to the human body.
I have submitted relevant questions to the biological laboratory next door. They are trying to artificially create a soul power vacuum environment. They are also testing it with primate soul beasts. The current test results have been preliminary. People who have been in a soul power vacuum environment for a long time
The cultivation realm of a soul beast under the age of 10,000 will fall. Although the soul ring of a ten thousand year soul beast is still ten thousand years old, its own strength may even drop back to a thousand years, and this requires a long period of cultivation in an environment with abundant soul power.
It takes time to recover.
Next we need to go to space to verify this and solve related problems.
That is, how can astronauts survive in space for a long time? Food and water are not difficult for us. Relying on space devices, we can carry a large amount of materials into space.
This is also the greatest significance of manned spaceflight. Although it is possible to open the space soul guide in space relying on preset procedures, it is simply a matter of taking out the space facilities inside and assembling them in space.
This is impossible to achieve with our current chip technology and automation technology.
This kind of complex work can only be completed by humans. If humans can directly enter space and perform these complex operations, then the construction of our space station will be carried out with extremely high efficiency."
A technician in the audience raised his hand and asked: "If a soul master enters space and being an astronaut will lead to a decline in his own strength, why don't we choose ordinary people? As we all know, ordinary people are not completely without soul power. Most of them are
Because their soul power is less than level one, they cannot practice. A considerable number of them have soul power of level 2 to 3. They are in space. There is no need to worry about the decline in strength, because they have no
, isn’t he the most suitable astronaut?”
Kong Lingshu shook his head and said: "It's not enough for ordinary people to serve as astronauts. In an environment where the soul power is vacuum, if you want to open up space, the soul power required for the soul guide is much greater than on the ground.
, even if the soul power required to open the soul guide is very small, it is not something ordinary people can afford, but the idea you proposed is indeed feasible. Ordinary people will not suffer the backlash of the loss of soul power, so in the future space station
Once the scale is large, one soul master can be specially dispatched as the controller of the space soul guide, and the rest can be dispatched in large numbers of ordinary people as engineers and technical guides to stay in space for a long time to maintain the operation of the space station. And the soul master
The soul masters are constantly rotated in the space station through the return capsule. In this way, the duty time of each soul master in space can be greatly shortened, and the cost of sending manpower to space can also be greatly reduced."
This system immediately won the approval of almost everyone. After ordinary people also participated in the design of the soul guide. The status of ordinary people in the Sun and Moon Empire was rapidly improving, and the contribution a person could make in society was considerable.
The degree determines his social status. And the contribution a group can make in society is directly linked to the social status of this group.
Just like before the industrial revolution, women's status could not be equal to men, nor could they be equal to men. It was precisely because they could not occupy a dominant or even equal position in social production. Ordinary people were more inferior to soul masters.
A large part of the reason for their low social status is this. Even if combat effectiveness is not considered, their average individual contribution to social production is less than the average individual contribution of soul masters. Of course it is not
In the past, the social status of ordinary people was relatively low, which was a fair social system. Even in the current Sun and Moon Empire, the internal social system cannot be called fair.
But relatively speaking, in the scientific research world, the difference between ordinary people and soul masters can be considered minimal.
Therefore, the scientific researchers present were all in favor of a large number of ordinary people participating in the construction of outer space. However, the scientific researchers rarely considered political issues, so they did not think that doing so might affect the dominance of soul masters in the empire. Space
The construction of China can be said to be an important weapon of the country. If ordinary people are allowed to control space-based weapons, will there be a rebellion? If ordinary people on the ground break out a revolution, will ordinary people in space use space weapons out of sympathy?
A big killer to help them?
These are what the politicians and emperors of the Sun and Moon Empire need to consider. At least the current reality is that a large number of ordinary people must participate in the construction of space.
The next manned space flight will be carried out by ordinary people first. The honor of being the first to step into space will be given to a mortal without soul power.
This can be said to be quite rare in the history of the Sun and Moon Empire. However, as far as the scientific researchers present, this does not seem to be surprising.
For the first time, an orangutan-like soul beast was selected for launch. Primates are the closest to humans, even if there are relatively large differences between soul beasts and humans. Under these conditions, it is known that orangutans are
The goal of the experiment. The experimental data that can be obtained can be said to be the most accurate. After conducting multiple tests, the data was successfully fed back.
After being launched into space, the longer it lasts, the longer the black star will be weak after successfully returning.
And when he has been in an environment with no soul power for more than a month in space, his weakness has become completely irrecoverable. It will cause irreversible damage. Even if he returns to the surface of the planet for training, his own strength will not be able to recover.
It has also permanently regressed.
"So the sealed environment in space must be solved. We must find a way to build an environment with abundant soul power in space to allow soul masters to rest. Otherwise, each soul master will spend the most time on duty in space.
It should not take more than two weeks, and the pressure this brings to us is still relatively high. Because in space we need to maintain more than one space station, and with multiple space stations, it is impossible to allow the soul master to be as fast as
rotation, even if the cost of launching a rocket is not particularly high, it is almost equivalent to burning an eighth-level soul guide. If there are dozens or hundreds of space stations in the future, we really cannot afford to do this.
Burnt.
And judging from the current development of the Sun and Moon Empire, the reserves of rare metals are also limited. If mining continues as it is now, rare metals will definitely be exhausted in the future.
As we have not explored alien planets yet, it is difficult to judge whether there are rare metals on alien planets. If not, we must cherish these resources on land from now on and make careful budgets to make it possible for us to move forward.
Entering the starry sky, on other planets, relying on the resources of other planets, we can develop and prosper to the point where we can also step into the starry sky and replace our soul guides." Kong Lingshu has even stood at the height of the future of mankind.
On top of that, this is so high compared to people who put all their energy into political struggles or internal strife on the mainland.
The senior officials of the Sun and Moon Empire are obviously aware of these things. In recent years, the mining of rare metals has become much more restrained, and many restrictions have been placed on the relevant mining departments.
The original violent mining has almost all been banned now. Every mine must achieve a high enough utilization rate before it is allowed to continue operating. Otherwise, the waste of resources is likely to cause the planet to
The creatures are forever trapped on the surface of the planet.
This series of measures had a considerable impact on the Sun and Moon Empire, and even in a short period of time, the price of soul guidance devices increased significantly due to technological advancement.
Of course, the impact on Douluo's side is still minimal. After all, except for space soul guides, soul guides are rarely used there.
Even hidden weapons have considerable room for survival on the Douluo side in this era.
Scientists from the Sun and Moon Empire now look at Douluo's hidden weapons with a very strange eye, because they can't be regarded as a discipline at all, they can only be regarded as a relatively small field in mechanics.
A branch, and in this rather small branch, the scope of application is limited to weapons. It can be said that the future development potential is almost non-existent, and it belongs to the type that reaches its peak after debut.
While the scientific researchers of the Sun and Moon Empire were worrying about how to allow soul masters to survive for a long time in space, the relevant departments of materials science finally made breakthrough progress. Through continuous testing of different combinations of rare metals, they finally found
A material that can be mass-produced cheaply to isolate soul power has been developed. By coating this material and covering it on the inner wall of the spacecraft, the loss of soul power can be isolated to a great extent. After completing this isolation, it can be said that
Being able to create an area in space with relatively abundant soul power will provide a basic guarantee for the relatively long-term survival of soul masters in outer space.
