The heavy test equipment was placed on a steel ingot weighing 300 tons and fixed with 300 tons: according to calculations, during the process of electromagnetic pulse moving space, powerful forces will be generated. These forces cannot be calculated for the time being, but It is estimated that it may be as high as about one hundred tons. The metal needle itself weighs about 30 tons, but it is obviously unable to withstand the huge force that may be generated during the impact. The base is added for fixation and to prevent the signal transmitting machine from overturning due to excessive force during the test, causing unknown dangers in the test - it is already dangerous enough.
A huge low-lying crawler truck moved this huge test machine into a sealed laboratory. It is connected to a set of physical batteries from Gaoshi Company through two arm-thick superconducting cables. This set of physical batteries is the size of a house and can store 1 billion kilowatt-hours of electrical energy.
The test was extremely dangerous and had to be disconnected from the grid to prevent incidents such as grid burnout.
Long Xinsheng talked boastfully, while the top company executives, including Zhang Jingyuan, were like primary school students listening to the professor's lectures. But that’s the fact. Such a communication technology is really enough to change the world. The first to accept these technologies are master companies.
"Mr. Long, have you ever calculated or roughly estimated the energy consumption of such a technology after it matures?" Liu Donghai, as one of the top 16 people in Gaoshou Company, and Qi Fengwu are responsible for Gaoshou Company's energy projects. . Energy projects are beginning to be tight now. With the physical battery, everyone thought that it could at least meet the needs of space development for 20 to 30 years. In fact, everyone found that the development of Gaoshou Company was too fast, and the world was catching up. Chao is also accelerating. In this case, the original physical battery technology is somewhat inadequate.
The energy requirements of space machinery ranged from tens of thousands of kilowatt-hours to millions of kilowatt-hours, and then jumped to tens of millions or hundreds of millions of kilowatt-hours of electrical energy! Seeing that the communication technology developed by Long Xinsheng was another big consumer of electricity, Liu Donghai finally became anxious! Let me go, don’t develop so fast, okay?
"Well, it is now expected to use 3 million kilowatt-hours of electricity. If the test is successful, it will probably work for about a minute. According to the current technology, a pulse of about one minute, coupled with compression acceleration technology, can probably transmit about 10,000 words. Words.”
"With 3 million kilowatt-hours of electricity, it can only transmit about 10,000 words?" Not only did the corners of Liu Donghai's mouth twitch, but even Zhang Jingyuan was speechless. I know high technology is expensive, but to be so expensive is simply unimaginable.
"It takes a lot of energy to move the space." Long Xinsheng had to explain. It is said that this energy consumption is indeed a bit large, but what can it do! This is a theoretical technology involving space. If it can succeed, it is already very good.
Li Changxing was in charge of the electronic information aspect of Gaoshou Company and asked a key question, "Mr. Long, is it possible to transmit video, pictures and other information through this technology?"
When it comes to this, Long Xinsheng is full of confidence: "The most direct transmission can only be sound; but other signal information cannot be transmitted, but may it be necessary to set up a translation? Just like today's electronic information technology, we You can send a sequence of ten numbers from 0 to 9, etc., and then convert these signals into sounds, pictures, videos, etc. through a compiler.
It's just that it's still the early stage of the experiment. We can only say with certainty that if this experiment is successful, then we can come up with a machine capable of super-speed communication within half a month. To be precise, it should be a machine with super-speed and ultra-long distance capabilities. space walkie-talkie. Although, such a machine may weigh up to ten tons or more. ”
"Not bad!" Zhang Jingyuan gave Long Xinsheng a positive reply when he heard this. He has worked very hard. Such a technology that he had never thought of before has been successful, so don't be too demanding. "But Mr. Long, this kind of technology is good, but we should have higher goals. I hope to see complete super-speed communication technology within this year, which can achieve the same functions as the current network on earth.
< br>
As for energy, if that doesn't work, we will build larger space photovoltaic power plants, or even space nuclear power plants. Energy-wise, you don’t have to worry. Whether it's materials, energy, or even other support such as formations, etc., as long as you need it, the headquarters will arrange it as soon as possible. ”
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang." Long Xinsheng was sincerely convinced. This was indeed the case for Zhang Jingyuan these days. The Communications Laboratory has not produced any output in the past two years, and even the theory is incomplete, but Zhang Jingyuan is still here. There is no abridged support, you get what you ask for.
"Team leader, the experiment is ready." At this time, an assistant in a white coat came to report the situation.
"Okay, let's start right away." After Long Xinsheng finished speaking, he called Zhang Jingyuan and others to the observation room, where everyone could observe the entire experimental process with the help of a camera.
There are actually hundreds of screens in the observation room. This is the first time for all senior company executives to enter this place, including Zhang Jingyuan.
"This is an ordinary camera, this is an infrared camera, this is a magnetic field camera - it can directly observe the magnetic field, this is a gamma ray camera, this is an x-ray detector, this is an ultraviolet camera, this is a temperature detector, this This is a gravity field detector, this is a metal stress detector, this is a radiation monitor, this is a flash capture instrument, this is an air pressure detector..."
The staff will introduce everyone one by one. Of course, an ultra-era scientific experiment cannot be without an advanced observation system. It's just that the on-site observation system is really complicated. Even Zhang Jingyuan had to sigh with emotion at the power of wisdom.
Human eyes can only see 4% of the world; but with the help of various instruments, we can observe almost 50% of the world! This is an amazing improvement. Even practitioners are not necessarily any more powerful than the power of technology.
"Countdown: 10, 9, 8..."
Long Xinsheng was already staring at the screen closely. The specific execution would of course be carried out by the real experts directly responsible for the research. Showing off can be done in ordinary matters; but in rigorous scientific research, it is absolutely not allowed!
"1, 0! Start!"
Buzz... At that moment, all the screens displayed different images, and at the same time, there seemed to be a buzz in the air that flashed away. At the same time, at least more than half of the alarm bells in the observation room sounded.
"Hold for one minute! As long as the limit is reached, don't give up the experiment!" Long Xinsheng calmly commanded in the face of danger.
Some alarm bells changed from yellow to red, and some that were previously flashing green started flashing yellow...
The buzzing sound disappeared, only the alarm bell sounded, and various effects flashed on various screens. Ordinary light and shadow cameras only see a blurry metal needle with a flashing aperture; while other cameras detect various rays.
Suddenly, all sounds stopped, because the set time of one minute had arrived, and all screen displays were frozen at the last moment. Of course, this is just a display. In fact, the detection does not stop, but the later data will be automatically recorded into the hard disk.
"Oh oh oh!" All the super-speed communication researchers began to shout wildly, and no one cared that there were more than 30 expert company executives next to them. You cannot express your excitement without partying.
Receivers set up in space, whether in low-Earth orbit, synchronous orbit, or detectors on the Space Mirror 200,000 kilometers away, have all detected the signals here and have sent them back.
After so many days and nights, so much suffering, I finally passed the most critical step.
Success! This word does not need to be modified with any adjectives. Success power! There were only these three words in the scene, which formed a sea of joy.
