"Shocked! After twelve years, the United States actually found the "original wife" it had abandoned"
In the temporarily rented office of Shenzhou, a branch of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Xu Chuan saw this news forwarded from abroad.
Obviously, this title is a common method used by "marketing accounts", but I have to say that this kind of title really captures human nature.
Even he clicked in casually, wanting to see what this thing was.
Following the marketing account's report, Xu Chuan found the original news text published by the Washington Post on the Internet and saw the news that the Americans had restarted the space shuttle.
"It's interesting. Are the Americans starting to sit still too?"
Staring at the news published by the Washington Post, Xu Chuan couldn't help but touch his chin, with a look of interest in his eyes.
In 2011, the space shuttle Atlantis was completely retired after completing its last space flight.
At the time, this kind of aerospace equipment could be described as advanced black technology. It could be used repeatedly, enter space repeatedly, and carry a large load. It was undoubtedly the crown jewel of the human aerospace industry.
But unfortunately, due to the huge cost and the aerospace technology and materials at the time, the space shuttle was completely retired in 2011 and left the public eye.
Apart from these reasons, there is actually another reason that prompted the retirement of the space shuttle.
That was the breakup of Big Brother at that time.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that apart from its aerospace uses, large space vehicles like the space shuttle have extremely powerful military uses and deterrent effects.
During the Red and Blue Cold War of the last century, the United States had to grit its teeth and persevere no matter how much money it spent during the period of confrontation because of the huge military use of the space shuttle.
But what happens after Big Brother breaks up?
Although for nearly a decade there had been concerns that Tsarist Russia, which had inherited Big Brother's will, would continue to use space shuttles to pose a threat to them.
But the result was that Lao Maozi collapsed and showed no signs of rising.
At this time, spending so much money to maintain the space shuttle has given the gentlemen in Congress a headache. One launch costs hundreds of millions of dollars, and maintenance is even more expensive.
NASA's original plan was for the space shuttle to be launched again after a simple inspection and replacement of parts.
However, I did not expect that after being burned by the high temperature of the atmosphere on the way back to the atmosphere, all the parts of the space shuttle must be disassembled and inspected one by one for flaw detection and performance testing.
The workload is staggering and the cost is staggering.
In addition, it can be said that there are almost no opponents in the fields of space security, military and other fields. After experiencing the economic crisis in 2008, the space shuttle, a hugely expensive "big killer", was hidden.
Unexpectedly, after more than ten years, NASA actually dug out the space shuttle again.
What surprised him even more was that judging from current reports, the group of gentlemen on Capitol Hill actually passed the plan to restart the space shuttle with such high efficiency.
However, accidents were accidents, and it was not that he could not understand the reasons for such a situation.
Their development in the aerospace field and their overtaking in electric propulsion technology have deeply stimulated the sensitive nerves of Americans.
In particular, the Xinghai space shuttle, a "big killer" that can freely enter and exit the atmosphere and outer space, can be said to make all countries feel afraid.
After all, this kind of power, if there are not enough countermeasures, is undoubtedly a sword of Darkmos hanging over the heads of the gentlemen.
Under such circumstances, it is natural for the gentleman to be anxious.
After all, no one wants to fall asleep and suddenly go to another world one day.
Although this possibility is very low, as long as the threat is there, no one dares to rest assured.
However, the type of space shuttle revealed by Director Bill Nelson in the interview really interested Xu Chuan.
The Atlantis series of space shuttles have been mothballed for more than ten years. Judging from the current situation, it is probably difficult to carry out space missions again.
In other words, if NASA wants to restart the space shuttle, the most likely option is to build a new one.
Although it is not difficult to redesign and manufacture a space shuttle with the current aerospace power of the United States, it may be very difficult to catch up with the Xinghai.
At present, with the propulsion efficiency of traditional chemical fuels, it is basically impossible to "independently" enter and exit the atmosphere and outer space like the Xinghai without the help of external force.
Only by using external propulsion rockets to bring the space shuttle to the sky can it have a certain ability to move independently.
But in this case, it may be difficult to compare with Xinghai in terms of battery life, flexibility and other aspects.
Xu Chuan is more interested in how NASA will compensate for this aspect of performance.
Because this does have reference significance for the development of space shuttles.
Although the Xinghai space shuttle has achieved overtaking in corners to a certain extent, its low-Earth orbit carrying capacity has only reached the order of fifty tons.
Even including the second-generation Hanhai that has not yet left the factory, its low-Earth orbit carrying capacity is only 67.5 tons.
This number sounds very good, and the increase from 50 tons in the first generation to 65.5 tons in the second generation is quite exaggerated.
However, due to the shortcomings of the electric propulsion system in terms of thrust, it can be said that with the current aerospace engine technology, it is difficult to further increase this number.
Electric propulsion has an upper limit in terms of thrust based on current technology.
But for traditional chemical fuel propulsion methods, this upper limit is much higher.
The Saturn V developed by NASA in the last century has a low-Earth orbit carrying capacity of up to 118 tons.
The high thrust that chemical fuel rockets can produce in a short period of time cannot be compared with electric propulsion.
If NASA can achieve some excellent performance in these aspects, it will not be without reference significance for Xinghai Research Institute.

In the Shenzhou Branch of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, while Xu Chuan was conducting experiments on magnetic polaron electromagnetic shields and collecting relevant data, a somewhat unexpected visitor arrived.
In the office, there was a knock on the door, and assistant Tang Sijia, who was sitting at the door, got up and walked over to open the door.
Soon, a smiling and hearty voice came from the door.
"Long time no see, Academician Xu."
Hearing the voice, Xu Chuan looked away from the computer and glanced at the person who walked in to visit him. There was a trace of surprise in his eyes, and then he stood up with a smile to greet him:
"Chang Ouyang? Why are you here?"
This Commander Ouyang is none other than the leader of the Naval Equipment Department, Ouyang Zhen.
When the USS Haixi aircraft carrier was launched two years ago, he went to attend the launching ceremony. The two met on the aircraft carrier and talked about the optimization of equipment such as the aircraft carrier's electromagnetic ejection.
The idea of a strong magnetic deflection field also emerged at that time.
It’s just that there was no theoretical basis to support it at the time, and the follow-up was nothing.
It was not until the completion of the unified theory of strong electricity and the interaction system between the magnetic polaron field and the strong electric phonon that it was officially confirmed that this road was feasible, that he picked up research in this area again, and only then did he have the following ideas The plasma and electromagnetic deflection comprehensive defense shield theory.
"Haha, of course I came to visit you."
Ouyang Zhen laughed, walked over quickly with a smile, extended his hand and shook it with Xu Chuan enthusiastically, and then said: "I hope that running over without saying hello will not disturb your research work."
"If you are there... Please sit down, Sijia, and help me make two cups of tea." Xu Chuan said with a smile.
Soon, two cups of tea were brought over. Sitting opposite Xu Chuan, Ouyang Zhen picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and praised with an intoxicated expression: "What a good tea!"
Xu Chuan really didn't expect this sudden compliment.
He smiled sheepishly and said nothing.
Can he not know whether this tea is good or not?
Although it is true that he does not have special tea leaves, and the big boss above will specially send him a few kilograms every year, but this is really not the case at the moment.
What they are drinking right now is just what they got from the reception desk of Shenzhou Branch.
It may indeed be a little better than ordinary tea, but it costs hundreds of dollars per pound.
The head of the Naval Equipment Department, what kind of tea has he not seen?
With such an intoxicated expression, Xu Chuan could only sigh in his heart, he is indeed a 'first-class' actor.
In the office, after the two exchanged a few words, they got down to business.
Ouyang Zhen put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Xu Chuan, with a formal look on his face: "Academician Xu, to be honest with you, I came here mainly for the electromagnetic shield technology you are developing."
After a slight pause, he continued: "This news was revealed to me from above. I would like to ask how long it will take for this technology to be put into practical use?"
Xu Chuan was not surprised by Ouyang Zhen's inquiry.
After all, plasma and electromagnetic deflection shield technology has a huge impact on military equipment. I am afraid that no expert in the military industry can refuse this level of technology.
However, he was not sure how much time it would take.
Shaking his head slightly, he replied: "Sorry, I'm afraid I can't give you an answer to this question yet."
Ouyang Zhen asked quickly: "Is there any problem in research? The Naval Equipment Department still has some research and development capabilities. If you need it, we can provide help whether it is funds, personnel, or equipment.
.”
Xu Chuan smiled and shook his head, saying: "Technology in this kind of cutting-edge field cannot be easily accumulated by relying on manpower and material resources."
"The plasma and strong magnetic deflection shield technology has a lot of problems to solve. I have only started research here for a short time. If I want to apply it, I really can't say for sure."
Ouyang Zhen sighed slightly, nodded and said, "Yes."
After restraining his somewhat disappointed mood, he smiled and continued: "When I heard that you were developing this, I was shocked. Plasma and strong magnetic deflection shield technology, this kind of legend
I didn’t expect that one day I would be able to see the black technology in it with my own eyes.”
Xu Chuan smiled and said: "You are thinking too far. Even if this technology is completed, it will be impossible to achieve the effect you want."
"This technology is used by the space shuttle to deal with the ubiquitous plasma and various radiations in outer space as well as some extremely fine dust."
"As for the bullet-proof and missile-proof things you think of, that's really impossible, at least it's simply not possible with current technology."
Hearing this, Ouyang Zhen licked his lips and said with a smile: "I think it will work out."
Xu Chuan smiled and didn't care. Looking at the expression on Ouyang Zhen's face, he continued: "It is almost impossible to defend against physical shields at present, but it is almost impossible to defend against electromagnetic waves and high-power microwaves.
There is still hope for the magnetic fields of electromagnetic interference and other electromagnetic attacks."
"Recently there has been a little breakthrough in the research at the Shenzhou Branch. Would Mr. Ouyang want to take a look?"
Before he could even finish his words, Ouyang Zhen stood up from the sofa with a snap, and with an urgent expression on his face, he quickly said: "Please show me to me!"
Xu Chuan smiled, stood up and made an invitation gesture, and said with a smile: "Then come with me."
.......
In the large-scale SQUID superconducting quantum interference magnetometer laboratory, testing experiments on the magnetic polaron electromagnetic shield generator are still continuing.
After finding the problem of low guidance rate of the magnetic polaron field, the next experiment was naturally a test experiment on the fusion of the magnetic polaron field and the plasma field.
This chapter is not over, please click the next page to continue reading! Although the research on plasma fields is conducted by Luo Ming, his goal is to stably generate reliable plasma walls and preliminary magnetic polarization in the atmosphere and vacuum.
Subfield and plasma field fusion experiments do not conflict.
Because the latter can use high-frequency nixie tubes and inert gas ionization to form a plasma wall.
Plasma, also called plasma, is an ionized gas-like substance composed of atoms that have been deprived of some of their electrons and positrons and negative electrons generated by ionization of the atoms.
When it is in a magnetic field, the moving charged particles will naturally be affected by the Lorentz force in the magnetic field. Whether it is the magnetic bottle effect, or magnetic field acceleration, explosion, binding, gyration and other movements, it is all related to it.
This may sound lofty, but it is actually the ‘Lorentz force’ in physics during middle school and high school.
To understand it simply, you can think of the electromagnetic field as the 'wind' in the sky, and the plasma wall as the 'clouds' floating in the sky. Under the influence of the wind, the plasma cloud will naturally move with it.
Whether it is the controllable nuclear fusion technology he studied before, or the current plasma and electromagnetic deflection shield, they are all related to it.
A plasma wall formed by a high-frequency Nixie tube and an inert gas is deployed in the magnetic polarization field generated by the magnetic polaron electromagnetic shield generator, and the movement of the plasma wall can be guided by a magnetic field.
When the plasma wall comes into contact with external electromagnetic waves, the free electrons interfered by the magnetic polarization field will be excited and enter a state of high-speed motion.
These electrons will move rapidly under the action of electromagnetic fields, generating induced currents and induced magnetic fields, thereby interacting with incident electromagnetic waves to form a natural shielding effect.
The magnetic polarization field can maintain the stability of the plasma wall during this process and achieve continuous interception and shielding of electromagnetic waves and high-energy microwaves, etc.
In these days of experiments, they have conducted targeted tests many times, and judging from the current experimental data, the results are quite good.
This is why Xu Chuan is confident in taking Ouyang Zhen to the laboratory to ‘experience’ it.
He only needs to wait until he returns to Xinghai Research Institute to solve the problem of low guidance rate of the magnetic polaron field, and he will be confident enough to create a composite magnetic field that can shield electromagnetic waves and high-energy microwaves!
