Early morning on May 21st.
Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming appeared on the football field early.
The two of them were running while discussing last night's battle in the game "Proxima Centauri".
As a member of the first force in the game "Proxima Centauri", they participated in the battle in the end.
After wiping out the 250,000 players of the second force of the game who came to attack the space homeport, and after occupying the space homeport, the players of the first force of the game went directly to the second force's lair near the south pole of Proxima Centauri b.
Erase the second force's home base on Proxima b.
You know, in the game "Proxima Centauri", after the character dies, the character really dies in the game.
If you want to continue playing the game, you can only create a new character.
For the second force, the death of the character is not important. The most critical thing is equipment, resources, and territory.
These are the most important.
Now, nearly 200,000 characters from the second force have died, and the equipment carried by these characters has been lost.
Furthermore, the second force's lair was breached, and the equipment and resources in the warehouse were gone.
Moreover, the territory controlled by the second force is still being lost.
According to the current trend, it will be increasingly difficult for the second force to rise again.
Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming were not the only ones discussing the battle in the game "Proxima" last night. Many students running on the football field were also discussing the battle.
"To be honest, whether it's the game "Europa's Ocean" or the game "Proxima Centauri", they are all very attractive." Fan Xiaoming said while running, "But the experience is not very good, and it is easy to stare at it for a long time. Regarding fatigue, I think the best thing is to combine brain-computer technology and directly control it with consciousness. Only in that way can the experience be 100% real."
Su Zhe nodded and said: "It would be good if the current game cabin can achieve this step. As for the brain-computer integration, after the Three Gate Project and the Light Pillar Project are on the right track, we will focus on the brain-computer integration and study it with all our strength. I believe there will be a breakthrough soon.”
"Okay! Now let's start making preparations and then we can directly dive into research." Fan Xiaoming said.
"Yes!" Su Zhe smiled, "That's right! Using the game cabin, we can develop a virtual space for scientific and technological learning and experimentation. We can learn knowledge and do experiments in it. When learning knowledge, we can With both pictures and texts, experiments will be more intuitive and less dangerous. This kind of virtual space will play a great role in cultivating students."
"Uh! You thought of it too!" Fan Xiaoming said with a smile.
Su Zhe smiled and asked, "What? Someone has already thought of this?"
Fan Xiaoming nodded and said: "On the first day of the open beta of the games "Proxima Centauri" and "Ocean of Europa", Yun Mengyao from your class brought people from the Four Books Club to the School of Computer Science and Jiutian Culture, and we reached an agreement on the same day. In order to cooperate, real science and technology must be materialized in the virtual space, so that everyone can learn science and technology comprehensively.”
"That's right! That's really fast!" Su Zhe was a little excited, "When can such a virtual space be created? I must experience it."
Fan Xiaoming smiled and said, "I heard it's quite troublesome and takes a while to set up. I heard Liu Fen mention it a while ago and said it won't be online until next year."
"It is indeed troublesome, especially sorting out the knowledge points, but fortunately the Four Books Society has been doing this." Su Zhe nodded, "By the way! Does the Four Books Society have enough funds? Our research center needs more support."
"Don't worry, research centers and schools will provide some funds every once in a while, and universities that have benefited from the Four Books Society have also given a lot of money." Fan Xiaomin replied.
"That's good!" Su Zhe smiled, "No matter what, we can't let the Four Books Club run out of money."
"Last time I met Yun Mengyao, I heard her say that the ministry would allocate 100 billion in special funds to the Four Books Society, but I don't know if it has been received yet." Fan Xiaoming said.
"Yeah! It's different when you have money. It's just one hundred billion." Su Zhe said happily.
The work done by the Four Books Society is basically of a public welfare nature, with only a small cost of materials and production costs.
Fan Xiaoming said with a smile: "The Four Books Club is qualified to get the money. Now the Four Books Club is not only streamlining teaching materials, sorting, summarizing, and translating knowledge points in various scientific subjects, but has begun to extend to high schools, junior high schools, elementary schools, and even kindergartens. We provide high-quality teaching materials and extracurricular readings for students at different stages, but the Four Books Club is all related to science and technology, and social sciences are not involved."
"Forget about social sciences. Let professionals do professional things. We can't take away their jobs." Su Zhe said with a smile.
"I think so too." Fan Xiaoming smiled, "Although it has only been less than a year, the achievements of the Four Books Club are obvious to all. Not to mention the overall improvement of our school's students, according to statistics, those who have used In colleges and universities where the Four Books Society has produced textbooks and other related books, the overall level of students has been raised by a whole level."
"I know this. President Xu of Shangling University told me about this." Su Zhe nodded.
The University and the school are close allies.
From the very beginning, the achievements of the Four Books Society were shared with Shangling University.
According to Xu Jiaping, the president of Shangling University, now Shangling University's hardware, software, and overall students' level are comparable to those of key universities, and it can be regarded as a veritable institution.
You should know that after one year of construction, Shanngling University has changed from its teaching staff to its school facilities.
Judging from these conditions alone, Shangling University can be regarded as a super key university, not much worse than famous universities.
If you include this year's freshmen, Shangling University is definitely a key university.
But if you include sophomores, juniors, and seniors, then Shangling University can only compete with a single university.
After all, a year ago, Shangling University was at the bottom of the two universities. You can imagine the overall level of students at that time.
Shanngling University can become what it is now, and the Four Books Club has made a lot of contributions.
"That's right! It's not just the students of Shangling University who have improved, it's also all the universities that have cooperation with the Four Books Society." Fan Xiaoming smiled, "There are the textbooks and books produced by the Four Books Society, plus the three books that the country dropped at the beginning of the year. With more than 10 trillion yuan, it would be strange if the overall level of students does not improve. After all, there are only a few students who actively do not want to study."
"The higher the level of students, the better." Su Zhe smiled, "Unlike before, there were only so many positions and so many resources. The more we learn, the more involved we are. But it is different now. The development of the solar system is imminent, and many, many talents are needed. , our few people are totally not enough.”
Fan Xiaoming nodded with a smile and said, "Just watch! In a few years, anyone who can read or count will be pulled to sit in a game cabin and remotely control equipment to mine."
"It's really possible!" Su Zhe nodded, "In general, with the development of the solar system, more and more scientific researchers will be needed, including those outside the solar system."
Fan Xiaoming nodded and said with a smile: "From a long-term perspective, in the future, the number of people engaged in scientific research will account for the vast majority. When it develops to a certain level, people will no longer need to do manufacturing and other things themselves. Scientific research and exploring the unknown will be the key." All we have to do is work.”
"Agree!" Su Zhe nodded with a smile.
When the two of them finished their run, the sun had already risen.
After breakfast, the two went directly to the collision building.
We took the elevator to the underground and turned left and right to Experiment Station No. 5.
When Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming arrived at Experiment Station No. 5, all relevant scientific researchers arrived.
Fan Xiaoming held a simple morning meeting and arranged the day's work at the meeting.
After the morning meeting, everyone in Experiment Station No. 5 started to move.
Starting the equipment, checking the simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine sample, checking the parameters...
Everyone is preparing to verify and test a simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine.
Time flew by and it was 11:30 in the morning, and all the preparations were completed.
After lunch, the lunch break ended, and the time came to 1:30 in the afternoon.
Everyone came to the No. 5 Experiment Station. After the equipment self-check was normal, Fan Xiaoming announced that the simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine sample verification test experiment had begun.
After Fan Xiaoming clicked the OK button on the computer screen, the robotic arm in the vacuum chamber placed the first set of simplified heavy photon aerospace engine samples on the test platform.
After the simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine sample was fixed on the test platform, a blue light beam illuminated one end of the simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine sample.
Instantly, a dull red astigmatism appeared at the other end of the simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine sample.
At the same time, the thrust measured by the test platform was displayed on everyone's computer screens.
"Keep increasing the power!" Fan Xiaoming shouted.
As the power increases, the thrust generated by the simplified heavy photon aerospace engine sample becomes larger and larger.
Soon, the thrust reached its lowest point.
At this moment, the simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine sample on the test platform began to vibrate violently.
After the researchers stopped increasing the power, they asked whether to continue increasing the power.
Fan Xiaoming did not answer immediately, but looked at Su Zhe and asked, "Do you want to continue to increase the power?"
He had a bad feeling that this first simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine sample verification test experiment would fail.
Su Zhe said without hesitation: "Continue!"
The verification and testing experiments are all done here. Not increasing the power or stopping the experiments is not what he wants to see, because it has no practical value.
In his view, the only thing that can be done is to continue to increase power until the simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine sample is scrapped.
Of course, this is before the simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine sample reaches the set maximum thrust.
This simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine sample verification test experiment is divided into five parts. Each part has two identical simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine sample.
To put it simply, this verification test experiment tested five simplified versions of heavy photon aerospace engine samples.
The verification test experiment on the simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine sample is divided into three stages, corresponding to the magnitude of the thrust.
They are the minimum required thrust, the thrust in the working state, and the theoretical maximum thrust.
If the thrust of the simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine sample exceeds the minimum required thrust, then this simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine meets the requirements for civilian use.
Can be installed on small equipment such as drones, small aircraft, and cars.
If the thrust of the simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine sample exceeds the thrust in the working state, this simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine can be used on spacecraft, but these are small spacecrafts.
If the simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine sample exceeds the theoretical maximum thrust, then this simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine can be used on almost all spacecraft.
This only looks at the thrust parameter. In actual applications, the ratio of input energy power to thrust, stability and other factors must also be considered.
Hearing what Su Zhe said, the researchers had nothing to hesitate and continued to increase the power.
On the test platform, the simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine sample vibrated even more violently.
At the same time, the simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine sample exceeded the minimum required thrust in one fell swoop.
Suddenly, the simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine sample on the test platform went quiet.
Su Zhe shouted quickly: "Stop increasing the power of energy input and let the simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine sample run for a while."
Five minutes passed, and the simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine sample was still outputting thrust stably.
The simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine sample does not vibrate at all.
"Okay! Continue to increase the energy input power." Su Zhe shouted.
As the energy input power continues to increase, the thrust of the simplified heavy photon aerospace engine sample is also increasing simultaneously.
When the thrust of the simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine sample was close to the thrust in the working state, the simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine began to vibrate violently again.
"Continue!" Su Zhe reminded.
As the energy input power increases, the simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine vibrates more and more intensely, but the thrust generated by the simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine sample does not increase.
Suddenly, the simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine sample on the test platform made a muffled sound.
The dull red astigmatism at one end of the simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine sample has disappeared.
At the same time, the thrust generated by the simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine sample became zero.
Immediately, the researchers stopped the input of energy.
All the scientific researchers had expressions of pity on their faces.
Su Zhe smiled and said: "The thrust of the first set of simplified heavy photon aerospace engine sample verification test experiments exceeded the minimum required thrust and was close to the working thrust. It was much better than the last verification test experiment. "
"Yes! Yes! There has been a lot of progress this time!"
"In the last ten sets of verification test experiments, none of them exceeded the minimum required thrust."
"We still have nine sets of verification test experiments to do, and we will definitely succeed this time."
…
Su Zhe smiled and said, "I'm not trying to comfort you. Didn't you find that the ratio of input energy power to thrust of this simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine sample is unusually small? What does this mean?"
