"The problem is described as follows:
If you want to establish a space base based on the moon, you must consider the issue of material transportation. A factory floating in space will be the most important base of Gaoshou Company in the future. But the fact that the factory is in space also causes inconvenience in material transportation.
Whether it is daily necessities or factory production materials, etc., it is a huge difficulty.
At present, the conventional transportation method is nothing more than the space shuttle. But now there is a big problem, there is no air on the moon. Vertical take-off and landing technology can only take off and land with small tonnage; large-tonnage technology can only be used to accelerate over tens of thousands of meters of runway, because this consumes the least energy.
However, these problems can still be solved in small batch production; however, large batch production will consume too much energy. Even if this is already remembered, it is still difficult to ignore as time goes by! Therefore, in the long run, it is not advisable!
Therefore, we should design an excellent, cheap, convenient, and easy-to-operate transportation method! ”
After Zhang Jingyuan finished reading, he turned to look at Zhao Weimin, "Where did these questions come from?"
"Someone said some time ago that there are many loopholes in the space program. Finally, a student told me why not hold a poll. In the end, more than 300 problems were selected through voting. Before that, more than 200 problems had been solved. ”
"Yes. Not bad. Are corresponding rewards given to those who put forward opinions?"
"Of course, each person ranges from 100,000 to 10 million. The company has never been stingy in this regard." This. Zhao Weimin is also a little proud.
"Okay. But those who solve problems should be rewarded."
"Ha, boss, don't worry. The price has been clearly marked before. There is a corresponding price for solving every problem!"
"..." Zhang Jingyuan was speechless at this moment, feeling that he should be a little out... But now he also understood why there were so many people here, involving almost every department of the master company. It looks like the rewards are amazing! However, Zhang Jingyuan supported this!
"Let it go and do it." Zhang Jingyuan patted Zhao Weimin on the shoulder. Although Zhao Weimin acted very calmly, Zhang Jingyuan could still see a trace of tension in it. After all, it costs money! Spending money is always harder than making money! This is the basic rule within a company.
"Thank you, boss!" Zhao Weimin's voice was loud! But among them, there is even more relief and pride. and sincere gratitude.
Then Zhang Jingyuan continued to sit back to his original position. He said that the scene was left to Zhao Weimin and that he would not intervene again. As for the previous intervention, Zhang Jingyuan was so excited that he couldn't help himself, and it was not to interfere with Zhao Weimin's planning of the seminar. and. Because of Zhang Jingyuan's performance. It even pushed this seminar to its peak.
"Teacher Zhao. I think this thing can use an elevator! Someone once proposed to build an elevator between the earth and the space base to transport supplies. But it had to be abandoned because the earth's gravity was too strong.
< br>
But the moon is totally fine! But this needs a little change, just a little bit... Oh, really just a little bit...
I did a rough simulation calculation.
You can use the elevator, but there is one thing to note. That is, the space factory must orbit the moon so as not to fall on the moon.
In order for the space factory to orbit the moon, it must have a speed of at least 1.32 kilometers per second, be about 200 kilometers away from the moon, and take 2.56 hours to orbit the moon.
But building an elevator will inevitably lead to a problem: the elevator must be fixed on the ground, otherwise it cannot be fixed; after all, the elevator must be connected to the ground.
In order to solve this problem, I considered the problem of combining elevators and guide rails. That is to say, the guide rails are the pillars of the elevator, and the elevator carriage is modified using containers.
This rail is very strong and will be erected on the ground of the moon, using semi-flexible technology to build a super rail that can moderately change the direction of the launch. We need to use this kind of guide rail and electromagnetic guide rail technology to send containers into space, so that the containers after entering space will have the same height, the same speed, the same direction and the orbit as the space factory, and the orbit will be slightly staggered to prevent collisions. .
Then, the space factory can use the robotic arm to capture these containers during the orbiting process.
Of course, in order to save energy, I think it is necessary to process all the ore resources on the lunar surface. If possible, it could even be made into steel ingots and sent directly to space. Of course, for those metals such as copper and aluminum that cannot be magnetized, you need to use containers!
Of course, I only made a rough calculation. The design of the guide rails is amazing, so I won’t go out and do it by professional engineers.
In short, this is a guide rail, but it is also a strange elevator that combines two technologies. It also involves the technology and parameters of launching satellites. ”
"Okay!" Everyone looked at the person in front of them with admiration. Who would have thought that the person who came up with this idea was actually a student from Deep Blue Middle School in a master company - and he was still wearing a school uniform!
At the same time, on the virtual three-dimensional screen, a demonstration diagram expressed the boy's opinion in detail: a huge guide rail was installed at an angle of 45° on the lunar surface; a huge container was sent out; when it arrived in space, it was just right Reaching the apex of the parabola, the upward speed has been offset by gravity, but the horizontal speed has just reached the orbiting speed, which also offsets the moon's gravity. Then these containers remain relatively stationary with the space factory, waiting to be captured by robotic arms or small aircraft in the factory.
“Wonderful!”
Zhang Jingyuan looked at this boy. He looked about 16 years old. This was the new generation of the master company! But it can be seen that they already have the ability to stand alone.
"Young man, can you introduce yourself?" Zhao Weimin satisfied everyone's curiosity.
"Yes! My name is Liu Kaixing! I am 15 years old this year, and my dad is Liu Haibo!"
Oh also...my dad is...this has almost become a prefix for cheating. But today, everyone looked at Liu Haibo with envy in their eyes. There is no problem for such a son to honor his ancestors!
"Okay." Zhao Weimin looked at Liu Haibo with envy in his eyes, "Xiaoxing, according to the regulations of the master company, you will now be responsible for the design of the guide rails in space. Are you willing?"
"Ah...but, there are a lot of things I don't understand." Liu Haixing still has a youthful spirit after all, "And my goal is to be like my father and become the main force in interstellar exploration!"
"Oh, that's it. But becoming a designer of guide rails does not prevent you from becoming the main force in space exploration. You know, as long as the construction of guide rails is completed early, we will have a powerful space factory and a powerful space vehicle. , you will be able to explore space earlier." Zhao Weimin's step-by-step guidance was correct and powerful. Liu Haibo was equally satisfied.
"That...that's good. But, there are some things I don't understand..."
"Haha, Xiaoxing. Let me tell you a story.
Ahem..." Zhao Weimin coughed, his voice pretending to be rough, "I, Zhao Weimin, really don't have anything. I didn't go to junior high school after I graduated from elementary school. But I now have hundreds of millions in assets! There are masters and doctors who work for me, postdocs who warm my bed, graduate students who walk and drive, and college students who sweep the floor at home.
I have money in my hands, that's enough! ”
"Pfft..." Many people laughed. Zhao Weimin was really a little bit funny, which made everyone laugh. But words are rough and reasonable, and such things abound in society.
Then, Zhao Weimin turned to Liu Kaixing, "What's up, little guy, have you figured it out?"
"But, but I have no money." Liu Kaixing was so dizzy by this metaphor...
"No! You do! Just because you can independently assume the responsibility of a key department of the master company, you have this qualification. As long as you shout out in the society, some experts will come to work for you. This is your greatest wealth ! ”
"But, I haven't graduated yet. After graduation, I also want to study at Xinghai University in Gaoshou Company."
"Then let's study engineering together. Anyway, at the university level, practice is the main focus."
"Oh, that, I accept."
"Bah bang bang..." Warm applause rang out. The first major department head of the master company is a minor! And he’s still a student! Everyone gave warm applause. Perhaps, this is a major turning point for the master company: the new generation has finally risen! And this is also the second father-son combination in the master company besides Long Xinsheng and his son! (To be continued...)
