Chapter 513 [Having and not using it are two different things]
The space photovoltaic power station is far more than just for civilian power generation. Otherwise, America would not have proposed it in 1968. By 1979, when the plan was given, the economic feasibility could not support it and it was chosen to give up. Thirty years later, the project was restarted and continued.
Advance.
The reason why the United States restarted is because it saw the military use of space photovoltaic power stations.
Otherwise, no country would be so anxious to start it now, even if it fails to follow the trend in the end, it would still be done, because the space light energy power station has transformed into a sustainable space-based weapon.
In other words, in loose terms, the energy is unlimited and the bullets are unlimited.
Because it can receive light energy from solar radiation all day long, it has unlimited energy, so it is a sustainable space-based weapon.
Receive light energy over a large area, and finally focus it on a point to lock a target on the ground. This is an orbital fixed-point strike. It really means hitting wherever. Moreover, high-energy laser strikes are strikes at the speed of light. It is impossible to evade. No matter how fast the reaction is, it cannot be faster.
faster than the speed of light.
The power of high-energy laser strikes depends on the output energy level. Furthermore, the larger the area of your solar panel, the greater the energy received, and the greater the power of the output.
As a space-based weapon, space light energy power stations can not only advance and attack, but also retreat and defend.
Aren’t intercontinental missiles impossible to intercept now?
Hypersonic missiles cannot be intercepted?
If there are space-based weapons with high-energy laser strike capabilities in geostationary orbit, intercontinental missiles can intercept them without pressure. Again, you can't go faster than the speed of light, and you can't escape a light-speed strike.
Locking means striking, striking means destroying, and the striking speed is the speed of light.
…
But at this moment, in the study room on the second floor, Fang Hong looked at the beautiful assistant and smiled lightly: "If we don't use the laser transmission method, we will lose everything. The purpose of developing laser transmission and having military-level strike capabilities is to protect space light energy.
Power station safety.”
Fang Hong immediately added: "The current demilitarization of space is largely due to the fact that countries do not have many assets in space, and they are not concentrated in the vast scale of space. Therefore, destroying each other has little effect and is meaningless.
big."
At this point, Fang Hong changed the topic: "But what if the scale of your space assets reaches hundreds of billions or even trillions? The space photovoltaic power station is an asset of hundreds of billions at least. Such a huge asset runs at high altitude in orbit.
On the other side, a few missiles can destroy your decades of hard work, do you think they will do it?"
Fang Hong chuckled and said: "Nowadays, the missiles of the United States are capable of shooting down satellites. Is it possible to use them without missiles? Of course, it is also possible. For example, a satellite running in a geostationary orbit 'suddenly loses control' and heads towards you.
If a space photovoltaic power station crashes into it, a small satellite can destroy hundreds of billions of your space assets. Even if it is not destroyed, it will cause heavy losses. Without installing a defense system, how dare you install hundreds of billions of dollars in space?
asset?"
Having said this, Fang Hong looked at the beautiful assistant: "In the following meeting, you will tell them this. It is not that we want to do this, but that we must do this. Laser transmission must be available in order to protect our space.
Assets and laser weapon systems must also be available, and the militarization of space is also an inevitable trend in the future. Just use Qian Lao’s words to tell them, having it and not using it are two different things.”
Tian Jiayi couldn't help but nodded.
In addition to military capabilities, as long as the space photovoltaic power station is built, it will also become a source of power for various sustainable spacecrafts, especially some expensive spacecrafts, which can greatly increase their service life.
If nothing else, let’s talk about the future "Tiangong" space station. In the future, the space station will not need to transmit energy from the ground. The space station operating in low orbit will be equipped with a microwave receiving station. In the space in the high-altitude geostationary orbit,
The light energy power station directly emits microwaves and converts them into electrical energy at the receiving station of the space station, thus providing energy support for the entire space station.
In this way, future space stations will have the conditions to expand to a larger scale.
The development of technology is often driven. A breakthrough in one point can often drive other points to take off. In the future, space photovoltaic power stations will be operational. For the future construction of sustainable bases on the moon, the energy supply will be greatly improved.
The problem is solved.
The space light energy power station operating in the geostationary orbit emits microwaves or lasers directly towards the moon. The surface base receiving station on the front of the moon simply converts it into electrical energy to power the entire lunar base. Although energy attenuation is inevitable during the transmission process, the earth-moon
Although it is far away at a distance of more than 300,000 kilometers, it is very close at the scale of the universe.
Even if there is energy loss during the transmission process, it is acceptable. After all, light energy is free. The most important thing is that it is much more cost-effective than directly launching materials from the earth to the moon for energy supply.
Once the problem of stable energy supply is solved, building a sustainable lunar base will no longer be a fantasy and will become feasible by then.
Once a sustainable lunar base is built and consolidated for another seven or eight years, the development of space mining will surely come as scheduled, and the scope of human activities will no longer be limited to the cradle of the earth. In the future, the establishment of industrial bases on the moon will also become a
People don't marvel at things that are sparse and ordinary.
It can be seen that this series of benefits are visible to the naked eye and can be expected in the future. Compared with the 50 years of controllable nuclear fusion and the breakthrough from 0 to 1, the feasibility of space photovoltaic power stations is in
The existing technical level and economic foundation already have the conditions for building it.
Of course there is no reason not to do it.
With Fang Hong, the ultimate BOSS behind the scenes, making the final decision, it means that there is the support of Star Capital, the super funder father. A super project of this level involves an investment of hundreds of billions, and the cost cannot be recovered quickly in the short term, and the time cycle is long.
There will also be many variables. Not only is it impossible to have fun without money, but also it is impossible to achieve success without courage.
But Big Boss is unswerving in promoting this super project. With the full support of the funder’s father, the “Daily Project” will advance much faster, and it will definitely not stop at PPT.
In the next few days, Tian Jiayi went to Jiuzhou Blue Arrow for a meeting on behalf of Qunxing Capital. The super engineering project of the space light energy power station was directly finalized at the speed of light in the secret meeting within Jiuzhou Blue Arrow, and it was determined that it would be a "daily project"
Name the plan.
It is financially supported by Qunxing Capital, led by Jiuzhou Blue Arrow, and a key laboratory for space solar power station systems has been established by Xincheng University, Xidian University and other universities.
The project's chief engineers, Yan Jiandan and Xiang Lanzhi, led the team to carry out a series of technical research.
