Hearing Su Zhe mention the instantaneous information transmission technology, Si Wenbo quickly said: "Yes, it is the instantaneous information transmission technology. Only by developing such a technology, combined with the controllable nuclear fusion technology, can we humans be healthy in the universe. Keep developing.”
Fan Xiaoming shook his head and said: "Having said it all, let's talk about instantaneous information transmission technology. This technology involves the existence of super-light speed. There is no basic theory to support such a technology. It is too difficult to come up with such a technology. "
They have mentioned instantaneous information transmission technology many times, and have also established projects for such technology.
Right now, there are more than a hundred scientific research teams across the country studying such technology.
Of course, most of them are doing basic theoretical research.
As for progress, there is no progress.
To be precise, there is no specific research direction.
Zuo Dajun said helplessly: "Whether this technology exists or not is a question. I guess we won't see it in my lifetime. Maybe there is no such technology. If you want to expect such technology, we might as well focus on the present. Of course, , we must continue to invest in the research of this technology, but the most urgent thing right now is controllable nuclear fusion technology, and heavy photon aerospace engine technology."
Si Wenbo nodded and said: "Yes, yes, controllable nuclear fusion technology can solve the energy problem. Now let's look at the proton nuclear fusion device. As for the heavy photon aerospace engine technology, the simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine is currently used. To be honest, the energy consumption of the heavy photon aerospace engine is still a bit large. It is far behind the theoretical heavy photon aerospace engine. I guess if a genuine heavy photon aerospace engine is developed, coupled with the controllable nuclear With fusion technology, it will be easy for us to achieve interstellar flight."
You know, what is used now is a simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine.
That's it, with the beam channel, you can achieve this.
If it were a genuine heavy photon aerospace engine, it would be different.
If nothing else, the battery life of the humanoid bionic robots they currently control will be greatly increased.
The energy stored right now can fly from the earth to the moon.
"Well, our research on heavy photon aerospace engines has been ongoing at our research center. As for when we will produce a genuine heavy photon aerospace engine, we don't have an accurate time." Fan Xiaoming was a little embarrassed, "Of course. I estimate that in another ten or eight years, a heavy photon aerospace engine will definitely be developed.”
Su Zhe nodded and said: "There are still many difficulties in the research of heavy photon aerospace engines. Just like controllable nuclear fusion, there are no difficulties in theory, but it has not been realized in engineering. To put it bluntly, the basic science is too Weak."
Research on heavy photon aerospace engines has been ongoing, and he has made many forced breakthroughs, but every time he failed, and none of them succeeded.
In the final analysis, it is still the existing basic science, or the basic theory is not perfect enough.
It is completely feasible in theory, but it has been difficult to realize in engineering.
This is why he settled for the next best thing from the beginning and chose a simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine that is easy to implement in engineering.
Although the energy conversion rate is much lower, it is much higher than the efficiency of traditional chemical rockets.
Looking back now, his original choice was right.
If he had pursued perfection from the beginning and held on to it, there would be no current situation.
However, compared to the simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine, the genuine heavy photon aerospace engine is much more efficient.
If the current flying saucer uses a genuine heavy photon aerospace engine, the flying saucer will not need to pass through any beam channel to fly from the earth to the moon. The energy carried by the flying saucer itself can fly several times back and forth.
Then there is no need to build any beam channel network in the solar system.
It's just that the successful development of this genuine heavy photon aerospace engine is far away.
In his opinion, it is necessary to work hard on basic theory. Only when the basic theory is accumulated to a certain extent, can it be possible to develop a genuine heavy photon aerospace engine.
Si Wenbo heard this and said: "I know a little about this. Many universities and research institutes have disclosed research information on heavy photon aerospace engines. As for our research on heavy photon aerospace engines at Tsinghua University, relevant researchers It is unanimously believed that the reason why a genuine heavy photon aerospace engine cannot be built is due to the imperfection of basic science."
Jiutian Research Center is not the only one currently studying heavy photon aerospace engines.
Since the Jiutian Research Center completed the research on a simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine, it has actively invited other universities and research institutes to join the research on the heavy photon aerospace engine.
Scientific research teams, large and small, range from one thousand to eight hundred.
There has been little progress in the research on the genuine heavy photon aerospace engine, but there has been great progress in the optimization and magic modification of the simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine.
Although there has been little progress in the research on genuine heavy photon aerospace engines, everyone agrees that the reason why it cannot be realized is the imperfection of basic science.
Bao Zhengyi nodded and said: "This is the truth. This requires a breakthrough in high-energy physics theory. I heard from my teacher that after the completion of the Super Hadron Collider at Sanmen Base, the conclusions of many experiments have confirmed the existing The imperfection of the basic theories of high-energy physics, as my teacher said, the existing basic theories of high-energy are quite useful at the proton and neutron level, but not very effective at smaller levels."
Fan Xiaoming added: "Yes, more and more experiments have confirmed that the existing basic theories of high energy are ineffective, such as the structure of protons and neutrons. Look, maybe these existing theories are problematic. , having said that, the energy limit of the Super Hadron Collider at Sanmen Base is still limited. To really figure this out, a more powerful Super Hadron Collider is needed."
After the construction of the Super Hadron Collider at Sanmen Base was completed, research on high-energy physics became lively.
When the experiments were repeated for a thousand times, no abnormalities were found. However, after increasing the energy, the phenomena that appeared cannot be explained clearly by the current basic theory.
At this time everyone also understood that the opportunity had come.
Su Zhe said: "Not only the research on physics, but also mathematics. Right now, we need to make breakthroughs in mathematics and physics. This is not only related to the development of genuine heavy photon aerospace engines, but also related to controllable The development of silicon nuclear fusion technology, as well as instantaneous information transmission technology, can only achieve breakthroughs if basic science and basic theory achieve breakthroughs."
For now, basic science has limited technological development.
If you want to make breakthroughs in related technologies, you can only achieve breakthroughs in basic theory first.
Si Wenbo nodded and said: "Yes! We must make breakthroughs in basic theory. Now, we have attached great importance to the research of basic science. Nearly half of all scientific researchers are engaged in basic science. Research, but we have to admit that it is difficult to produce results in basic scientific research, and it cannot be achieved overnight, and there is no need to rush, so we can only keep investing."
Half a year ago, after the impact of two asteroids, China obtained all the data on basic science research in the world.
It only took four months to digest this information, and then I started to do basic research again.
At this time, a breakthrough came in application technology.
But the good times did not last long, and we soon found that we had reached a bottleneck.
Basic science has limited the development of applied technology.
Naturally, investment in basic scientific research will also increase.
No, this has formed the current situation, with almost half of the people doing basic science research.
Zuo Dajun lamented: "You can't rush basic scientific research. You can only do it slowly. But having said that, for basic scientific research, mathematical research is better, but physical research requires large scientific equipment, so it is necessary to do so." To understand the internal structure of protons and neutrons, and to understand the structure of those quarks and so on, it is impossible without a more powerful hadron collider."
For the study of mathematics, all you need is a brain.
But the study of physics is not possible.
The study of physics was not too difficult at the beginning and did not require any large scientific equipment, but in the end it became more and more difficult.
As far as high-energy physics is concerned, it relies heavily on big scientific devices.
Si Wenbo nodded and said: "Yes, our Tsinghua University is preparing to build a super hadron collider with a radius of one hundred kilometers in space. The design has been completed and parts are being manufactured now. It will take another half a month. It will be assembled in space within a short period of time, and by then, our super hadron collider at Tsinghua University will be the most powerful one currently."
After saying this, he felt emotionless in his heart.
A year ago, experts were quarreling over the construction of the Hadron Collider.
Some are supported and some are not.
In the final analysis, scientific research funding is still a problem.
But now, the Super Hadron Collider with a radius of 50 kilometers has been put into use, and the Super Hadron Collider with a diameter of 100 kilometers built by Qingda University is about to start construction.
You know, Tsinghua University is not the only one building the Super Hadron Collider.
As far as he knew, even some powerful universities and research institutes in the country were preparing to build a super hadron collider.
Some, like Tsinghua University, are about to start construction soon, while others have already been planned and are in preparation.
As they usually joke, the super hadron collider, which was rare in the past, is now available to everyone in universities and research institutes.
As for those super hadron colliders in the ultra-high energy region, for example, those with a radius of more than 300 kilometers, such scales are only built in cooperation with some universities and research institutes.
Fan Xiaoming looked at Si Wenbo and reminded: "Don't be too happy at Tsinghua University. Based on our theoretical calculations, if we really want to make a breakthrough, what we need is a super hadron collider with a radius of more than 500 kilometers. I said The super hadron collider you built with a radius of 100 kilometers may not be useful even if it is completed."
After the abnormality was discovered in the collision experiment, the school and research center conducted research in this area.
From the beginning, it was planned to build several super hadron colliders with a radius of 100 kilometers, 200 kilometers, and 300 kilometers.
But in the end, it was discovered that even if these were built, they would be of no use. The only option was to directly build the super hadron collider with a radius of one thousand kilometers that had been designed. To be precise, it was a high-energy space city.
As of now, the design of the high-energy space city is almost complete, and the main structure and components are also being manufactured.
Hearing what Fan Xiaoming said, Si Wenbo was very surprised, "It's true! The Super Hadron Collider with a radius of 100 kilometers is useless. Is this true or false?"
He really didn't know the news yet.
Tsinghua University also has the same project as Lingzhou University of Technology’s high-energy space city.
Speaking of which, the diameter of the high-energy space city planned by Qingdao University is larger than that of Lingzhou University of Science and Technology, with a radius of two thousand kilometers.
Although there is an idea of competition, this is also planned by Tsinghua University based on actual needs.
Right now, such a high-energy space city is already being designed.
But because it couldn't be built for a while, the Super Hadron Collider with a radius of 100 kilometers was built first.
What I didn't expect was that this wouldn't work.
Seeing this, Su Zhe explained: "It's just our theoretical inference to say it's useless. It's hard to say what the actual situation will be. Once it's built, it's built. Anyway, it won't be possible to build anything bigger in a short time, right? Even if it can't be built, it will be built." For major breakthroughs, relevant research can still play a big role."
Fan Xiaoming smiled and said: "I'm just telling you, don't take it seriously. I've heard that the high-energy space city planned by your Qingda University with a radius of two thousand kilometers is under design. It is said that it will take another two years. The construction will be completed, and by then, you will not be the strongest yet."
Regarding the construction of the Super Hadron Collider, each one is more ruthless and the radius is larger than the last one.
Si Wenbo waved his hand quickly and said, "That's not possible. You must know that the radius of the high-energy space city planned by Yanda is 2,500 kilometers. As far as I know, this is the largest one known so far."
With the launch of the earth's deindustrialization plan, nine special zones were established.
This also means that there are signs of competition among major universities and research institutes.
The nine special zones are led by different universities and research institutes and are independent of each other. There is both cooperation and competition among the nine special zones.
At present, there is more cooperation within the special zones, and more competition between special zones.
No, the size of the high-energy space city is comparable to the previous one.
Fan Xiaoming pretended not to know, "Really? The radius is 2,500 kilometers. Whether it is 2,000 kilometers or 2,500 kilometers, this radius exceeds the moon. Now that we have seen our 1,000 kilometers, we are more conservative. To be honest, building such a large space city consumes a lot of resources, and it will take some time to build it."
These are just these three companies. As far as he knows, there are many high-energy space cities like this.
Taken together, these high-energy space cities will not have enough resources even if the moon is hollowed out. We will have to wait until the development of Mars, the asteroid belt, and the entire solar system.
