"Spraying iron powder is to verify the magnetic field. After all, directly observing the magnetic field is extremely difficult and inaccurate. But through extremely small iron filings, the magnetic field can be easily observed, and it is helpful to judge the strength of the magnetic field. ." Li Yuzhang explained when he saw the confused expressions of the people around him.
In this virtual laboratory, iron powder suddenly sprayed out like water mist, filling the entire room. In an instant, several outsiders wanted to shut up. The fine iron powder is like flying flour.
"Haha..." Seeing the looks of several people, some experts in the research room started to laugh.
"Guys, just relax and breathe. This is a virtual laboratory. It's just a 100% projection of the other side. Everything is a light and shadow effect." Seeing the looks of several people, Li Yuzhang kindly reminded this.
Oh...the four of them blushed in anger.
But no wonder the four of them. The simulation technology here is more advanced than outside. It is understandable that people were caught off guard and thought it was a real experimental environment.
As the iron filings are sprayed, a large number of fine iron powders are magnetized in the air, forming lines that are thinner than hair. They are supported in the air out of thin air, as if they are a three-dimensional thing growing in the air. lantern-shaped network.
"Please see, compared to electromagnets, this magnetic field is empty in the middle."
Sure enough, under Li Yuzhang's guidance, the four of them discovered that there was a blank area of about one meter near the sphere, with almost no iron powder.
Without waiting for these people to ask, Li Yuzhang began to explain: "Actually, the reason is very simple, that is, liquid metal sodium also has its own magnetic field during rotation. The two magnetic fields cancel each other out, which is the current situation. Of course, we also have this mechanism. In the process of research, there is no clue yet.
Normally, magnetic fields would cross each other, just like water ripples; but the magnetic fields here cancel each other out, as if disappearing into thin air.
But I believe that once this phenomenon is thoroughly studied, it will bring us huge benefits. First of all, we don't need this huge, bloated, energy-consuming and dangerous magnetic field generating device. Because this thing contains a large amount of high-speed rotating liquid metal sodium, even if it uses new materials unique to the master company, it still cannot guarantee 100% safety.
Okay, next we will conduct the second test, which is the protection against charged particles.
According to existing research, the main components of cosmic radiation, solar storms, etc., and even the most common harmful components, are charged particles. Therefore, we use lasers to detect protective capabilities.
The first step is normal sunlight intensity. ”
During this period, the magnetic field generating device has been restarted, and the iron filings have been taken away by the wind.
A ray of light shines on the magnetic field; however, this ray of light does not shine directly on the magnetic field generating device, but is distorted, as if the light enters the water and is refracted. But this time, everyone saw something even more beautiful than refraction.
When light shines on a magnetic field, it instantly begins to scatter radioactively like ink dropped into water. Under the influence of the magnetic field, the charged particles are deflected, and only a small amount of mild light shines on the surface of the generating device. Most of them form beautiful halos in the magnetic field, like the Earth's auroras. There are also two weak rays of light that are thrown out from the two poles of the generating device. A small amount of light passes through the magnetic field and spreads to the rear of the generating device.
At the same time, the colorful colors also cover the generating device, bringing a dream-like beauty.
"So beautiful!" The four spectators were stunned by the beauty in front of them.
What was even more surprising were the researchers, especially Li Yuzhang. "Big discovery, big discovery! The protective capabilities of this magnetic field are beyond our imagination! Moreover, I think I have seen another application of magnetic field!
Quick, turn up the brightness and use ten times the intensity of sunlight! ”
Ten times the intensity of sunlight still did not penetrate the magnetic field, and the beautiful light response was even more beautiful.
100 quilts!
It still hasn't penetrated the magnetic field, but now the magnetic field generating device seems to have transformed into a orb, dazzling with brilliance. That's light separated by magnetic fields. There are also two bright single rays of light, ejected from the two poles, carrying scorching heat.
"I think I saw another kind of laser cannon technology! This will be an extremely terrifying technology, and it can be integrated with a magnetic field generating device."
Next, we experimented with current sites of different strengths, etc., and even simulated a low-intensity solar magnetic storm. All tests have shown that this device is enough to protect the safety of the space shuttle near the earth's orbit. However, the energy consumption is a bit high, especially when resisting solar magnetic storms, the energy consumption exceeds the energy consumption of 5.6 million kilowatt-hours of electricity.
"This technology is very good. It is really suitable for protecting fragile space shuttles and conducting long-term explorations in the sky. However, it consumes a lot of energy!" Liu Haibo was very excited. Gaoshou Company has solved such a problem. However, energy consumption is a newly added problem! In space, the status of energy is definitely the first.
"Ahem!" Li Yuzhang was very dissatisfied with these guys' criticism. "In terms of batteries, the company is currently working on key issues. The third-generation battery technology should be available soon."
"Hehe, I'm relieved then!" Liu Haibo smiled carelessly.
"Okay, come with me and I will take you to see the most advanced magnetic field generating device. It is a tiny device that can be implanted into the helmet and used as a protective device for the space suit. It is a new one for your expedition team. A gift. With it, you can work safely away from the earth’s magnetic field without worrying about various unpredictable radiations in the universe.”
"That's great!" Liu Haibo rubbed his hands with anticipation on his face. And even Li Canglan, who was relatively quiet next to him, was like this. As an astronaut, I know all too well the dangers of space radiation. Why does ultraviolet rays have a sterilizing effect? That's the power of radiation! The radiation in space is many times more powerful than ultraviolet rays. Without protection, it can easily penetrate a steel plate with a thickness of ten centimeters without much weakening itself. Powerful radiation can cause DNA mutations and trigger unpredictable crises.
After many layers of inspections, we arrived at a laboratory that was a hundred meters deeper underground; however, even here, we could only view the advanced technology in a holographic projection safe room. Because although this extremely advanced magnetic field generating device is good, it is also more dangerous and difficult to control.
Li Yuzhang took the initiative to introduce: "This magnetic field generating device imitates the magnetic field of Jupiter. Jupiter has the most powerful ordered magnetic field in the solar system. Its magnetic field's influence range can extend beyond the orbit of Saturn. Its magnetic field strength is More than 20,000 times that of Earth. But it is well known that Jupiter is a gaseous planet, and according to current theoretical calculations, Jupiter does not have a solid core.
Until recently, this principle could not be solved theoretically. That is what the study believes is that in the core of Jupiter, there is a high-speed rotating substance of changed hydrogen atoms.
Under a pressure that is more than 150 times greater than that of the Earth's core, hydrogen will be compressed to the limit and mutate into a substance with metallic properties. We call it 'metallic hydrogen'. In the generation of magnetic fields, it has properties that far exceed those of iron. performance.
Because, it can rotate around itself. And now we are studying this technology.
But now the experimental conditions are extremely harsh. It requires high pressure and more than 3,000 laser irradiations to maintain such pressure; the experimental environment is inaccessible to humans. But according to the current research and development progress, we will hopefully apply it to space suits within half a year. "With this weapon, space exploration is worry-free!" "Liu Haibo's eyes shone. As for practical applications, Liu Haibo has never worried about it. The R&D strength of Gaoshou Company is unimaginable by the world!
