Su Zhe looked at the preliminary plan for the construction of the space elevator, but he was thinking about something else.
His previous thoughts came to mind again.
Heavy photon aerospace engine, dual light source energy transmission technology, space elevator, space solar power station, super hadron collider complex, super death ray.
Yes!
He thought about it, he thought about the plan for the Space Gateway Project.
Su Zhe looked at the laptop screen, but in his mind he connected the heavy photon aerospace engine, dual light source energy transmission technology, space elevator space solar power station, super hadron collider complex, and super death ray.
Quickly conceiving plans for the Space Gateway Project.
Fan Xiaoming, who was sitting next to him, saw that Su Zhe was looking seriously and kept explaining.
"The idea of a space elevator has been around for a long time, but it is not easy to realize."
"The preliminary plan for the construction of a space elevator produced by the scientific research team looks good, but it is too difficult to study it in detail."
"The location chosen for the Space Gateway Project is in the center of the Tamu Desert, but the optimal location for building the base of the space elevator is on the equator. Many people in the scientific research team suggested relocating the Space Gateway Project."
"In my opinion, the construction of the base, elevator cabin, and space station of the space elevator is not a problem, but the cable is a problem. Although carbon nanotubes are generally optimistic about it, there is still a long way to go to make a cable that meets the requirements..."
"Although the construction of a space elevator is difficult, once it is built, the cost of entering space will be greatly reduced."
…
As Fan Xiaoming was talking, he saw that Su Zhe's eyes were a little dull, but there was a smile on his face.
He took a closer look and found that Su Zhe was not looking at the content on the laptop.
When he was about to ask, he thought that Su Zhe might have thought of something important, so he didn't bother him.
The preliminary plan for the construction of the space elevator was still playing on the laptop screen, and Su Zhe sat there motionless.
Fan Xiaoming stopped explaining and sat there quietly waiting for Su Zhe. He was curious about what Su Zhe was thinking.
A quarter of an hour later, Su Zhe came back to his senses and looked around excitedly, as if looking for something.
Seeing this, Fan Xiaoming asked in a low voice: "What do you want? I'll help you find it."
"Pen and paper!" Su Zhe said as he stood up and took out a pen and paper from his computer bag.
Finding pen and paper, Su Zhe quickly started writing and drawing on the paper.
Fan Xiaoming picked up a piece of draft paper on which Su Zhe had drawn pictures.
There was a simple Earth drawn on the scratch paper, with a straight line connecting a point on the Earth's northern hemisphere and a point on the synchronous orbit.
He was a little lost.
I don’t know if this picture refers to the space elevator or the space solar power generation system led by Academician Zhao Guoan of the Zhuguang Project.
"Su Zhe! What's on your picture?" Fan Xiaoming asked quickly when he saw Su Zhe stopped writing.
Although the pictures on this picture resembled those of a space elevator and the space solar power generation system of the Chasing Light Project, he could be sure that those were not what they were pictured on.
He felt that Su Zhe must have thought of something great.
"The solution to the Space Gateway Project!" Su Zhe replied excitedly.
"Could it be a space elevator?" Fan Xiaoming asked uncertainly.
"Almost! A bit like it!" Su Zhe replied with a smile.
"This..." Fan Xiaoming was a little surprised, "Have you thought of solving the problem of the space elevator cable?"
"It's not a space elevator in the traditional sense." Su Zhe thought for a while and said, "The plan I'm thinking of is to integrate the Super Hadron Collider Complex Project, the Space Portal Project, and the Light Pillar Engineering Terminal, and... "
The main function of the Super Hadron Collider complex is to provide a place for collisions of various types of particles and to provide high-power light sources in almost all frequency bands.
In layman's terms, a space portal is a "space port" for communication between the earth's surface and space. It sends things from the surface to space and returns materials in space to the surface.
The terminal of the light pillar project is to transmit the energy collected by the light pillar project to the surface.
The three are integrated together, that is, one system realizes all the functions of the three.
To be more specific, it is to build a base in the center of Tamu Gobi.
This base is a combination of the Super Hadron Collider complex and dual light source energy transmission technology receivers and transmitters.
This is the base to be built on the surface.
The next step is to build a similar base in geosynchronous orbit, but this base does not require the construction of a Super Hadron Collider complex.
The base on the synchronous orbit can receive the energy transmitted by the light column project and the receiver and transmitter with dual light source energy transmission technology.
In this way, two-way energy transmission in the form of light energy can be carried out between the base in the synchronous orbit and the base in the Tamu Gobi Center through dual light source energy transmission technology.
At this point, the functions of both the terminal of the Light Column Project and the Super Hadron Collider complex have been realized.
As for the final space portal, this has something to do with the heavy photon aerospace engine.
Compared with the difficulty of developing a heavy photon aerospace engine, it is not that difficult to develop a simplified version of the heavy photon engine.
Compared with the original heavy photon aerospace engine, this simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine has less energy recovery, which causes the simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine to require a large amount of energy to maintain power.
But now this simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine has a place to be used.
Let the spacecraft equipped with a simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine always fly in the beam of energy transmission.
In this way, the spacecraft can continuously obtain energy from the beam, allowing the simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine to provide continuous power.
To put it simply, it is a beam of light that connects the base in the center of Tamu Desert and the base in the synchronous orbit.
The spacecraft travels between the two bases in a beam.
Listening to Su Zhe's explanation, Fan Xiaoming became more and more excited.
Seeing Su Zhe finish speaking, Fan Xiaoming asked excitedly: "Su Zhe! How did you come up with these ideas? The combination of these three is simply perfect."
"I had some ideas a few days ago." Su Zhe replied with a smile.
The prototype of this idea came up a few days ago, but I just didn't think it through.
It wasn't until today that he connected the dots.
"To be honest, your method not only solves the current problem, but also solves the problem of transportation within the solar system. As long as a beam channel is built between two points, the problem of insufficient energy carrying can be solved." Fan Xiaoming said with a smile. .
"This is just the best solution at the moment." Su Zhe smiled, "I hope to develop a real heavy photon aerospace engine as soon as possible."
"Even if a genuine heavy photon aerospace engine is developed, it will still face the problem of insufficient energy carrying, and it will still be useful to use light beams to provide energy." Fan Xiaoming explained.
"That's true!" Su Zhe nodded with a smile.
"That's right!" Fan Xiaoming thought for a while and said, "Three combined into one, the relevant technologies are all available, what is missing is a simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine."
"More than that, what I want to focus on is light energy." Su Zhe explained, "So high-power light energy transmission cables, super batteries, various light energy instruments, etc. must be developed."
"This...step by step." Fan Xiaoming smiled, "The most important thing is the simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine. How long does it take to develop it?"
"Half a year!" Su Zhe said firmly.
"Okay! Great!" Fan Xiaoming jumped up happily, "Then we are determined to do this...Su Zhe! Quickly sort out a rough plan, and then get the whole team started..."
Fan Xiaoming looked at the time as he spoke, stopped and thought for a moment and said, "It's very late today, let's go to bed! As for the plan, Su Zhe, please take your time to sort it out and start again after the Chinese New Year. We won't miss it in these few days." "
"Yes!" Su Zhe smiled and nodded.
The two of them packed up their laptops while talking and laughing.
As they talked, the two talked about two asteroids that were about to collide.
The two discussed not whether asteroids would pose a threat to the earth, but how the SS-defense system would intercept them.
…
The next morning, we had breakfast.
Su Zhe, Fan Xiaoming, Zuo Dajun, Zhou Dashi, and five assistants got on a business minibus with their luggage.
The business minibus drove for a quarter of an hour before leaving the temporary residence in Tamu Town and entering the Tamu Desert.
According to the plan discussed by several people last night, the first place they went to was the lithium-sulfur battery automation factory and the electric vehicle automation factory.
After staying here for a day, the second destination was a nuclear power plant under construction.
Then we pass through the heart of the Tamu Desert.
They want to see the reserved land of Jiutian Research Center.
Finally return to Tamu Town.
After leaving Tamu Town, the business minibus drove east along the Tamu Desert Highway.
It takes one hundred kilometers to reach the lithium-sulfur battery automation factory and the electric vehicle automation factory.
On the way, Zhou Dashi kept introducing, pointing to the construction site under construction on the roadside to explain.
Su Zhe and his party listened carefully.
Two hours later, the business minibus arrived at the new location and the temporary location of the lithium-sulfur battery automation factory and the electric vehicle automation factory.
Different from those small construction sites seen on the road, this area is all construction sites, and there are not too many related large machinery.
The most important thing is that there are many already built factories in this area.
Su Zhe and his party first arrived at the temporary residence of the station.
After placing their luggage in the temporary residence, everyone took the patrol car to the lithium-sulfur battery automation factory and the electric vehicle automation factory.
As the patrol car drove by the station, Fan Xiaoming sighed: "Why do I feel that the station here is bigger than the station in Tamu Town?"
He discovered it when he came to this area by commercial minibus.
There are much more temporary housing in this station than in the temporary station in Tamu Town.
"Yes! The name of this garrison is Tamudong garrison." Zhou Dashi explained, "The number of people living in Tamudong garrison has reached 200,000, which is twice that of Tamudong garrison."
"So many! No wonder." Fan Xiaoming was a little surprised.
The same is true for Su Zhe and others.
"People here are divided into two categories, one is building buildings and the other is building factories." Zhou Dashi said with a smile, "I am a building builder."
Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming smiled and nodded.
Soon, the patrol car arrived at the gate of the lithium-sulfur battery automation factory.
After the guard made a simple inspection, the patrol car drove Su Zhe and others into the lithium-sulfur battery automated factory.
The patrol car made a circuit of the automated lithium-sulfur battery factory.
Under the introduction of Zhou Dashi, Su Zhe and others knew what each building was for.
Many of these factories are made of steel structures, including those simple office buildings.
"The ones you see under construction are all office buildings, and the ones we saw on the road are dormitories and the like." Zhou Dashi explained.
Finally, the patrol car stopped in front of a huge factory building.
Su Zhe and his group got out of the car and walked into the factory.
As soon as they entered the factory, they were recognized by people at the door of the factory.
A young man with a red armband came forward.
After the young man introduced himself, Su Zhe and his party knew that this young man was a senior student at the University of Science and Technology of China.
Then, Su Zhe and his party visited the factory under the leadership of the student.
The factory is very "busy". Equipment is either being installed or debugged.
There were still people discussing, some even arguing.
The people who worked were divided into three parts. One part was teachers and students from Lingzhou University of Technology.
Then there are teachers and students from other universities, and finally there are related equipment manufacturers and other personnel.
After visiting one factory after another, Su Zhe and his team had a preliminary understanding of the lithium-sulfur battery automated factory.
Lithium-sulfur battery automated factory, literally speaking, it is an automated factory.
According to the introduction, after the completion of the lithium-sulfur battery automated factory, the automation rate can reach 95%.
The total number of people operating the entire lithium-sulfur battery automated factory will not exceed one hundred, and the vast majority of these one hundred people sit in the central control room.
This is just the first generation of automated lithium-sulfur battery factories.
According to the plan, the lithium-sulfur battery automated factory will continue to be optimized.
Every detail and every step will not be missed.
The goal is not only to achieve 100% automation, but also to achieve the ultimate in energy saving and emission reduction.
To sum up, we use the least raw materials, the least energy, the least pollution, and produce high-quality products in a fully automated way.
Of course, such a goal cannot be achieved in one step.
It needs to be done slowly.
After visiting the lithium-sulfur battery automation factory, it was noon.
Su Zhe and his party came to the canteen of the lithium-sulfur battery automation factory.
They found that the food here was similar to the school cafeteria, except that the price here was only half that of the school.
What’s funny is that while they were queuing up for food, people kept saying hello to them.
Among them, the three most popular ones are Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming. The last one is Fan Xiaoming's assistant and the leader of Jiutian Culture, Liu Fen.
Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming, one is the director and the other is the deputy director of Jiutian Research Center.
It is normal for everyone to know each other. After all, most of these people are teachers and students in colleges and universities.
Saying hello to Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming is just like saying hello, but it is different with Liu Fen.
I asked about the two movies released during the Spring Festival, and when the game with the same name as the movie would be released.
In this regard, Liu Fen always answered with a smile.
