People cheered, jumped, and strangers hugged each other, but none of them could express their pride! This is my own empire... Such pride lasts until I go to work, and it still remains the same.
Rewind the time 30 minutes... Chen Feng's face was as hard as steel. Zhang Wenliang led the new generation of leadership team to observe on the spot. If - if an accident happened, then Zhang Wenliang must bear the responsibility for this failure! Because this is one's own responsibility; it also allows scientists to have a good working environment.
Some things don’t need to be explained, everyone knows them. Therefore, the pressure this puts on Chen Feng is even greater! When an emperor personally stands up and says that I will take the blame, no one can treat him indifferently!
Clicking on the operation sequence table, Chen Feng adjusted his mood to an almost cold state. In this state, you can ensure your absolute calmness. Although His Majesty said that failure is the mother of success, Chen Feng, who personally presided over this project, knew what one-tenth of the empire's wealth meant. This was one-tenth of all the wealth that the empire had accumulated over the years! In other words, this failure, even if the rails and other weapons are saved, the blow to the empire will still be unimaginable. Inviting the whole country to do this is nothing more than that.
This can be said to be an all-out experiment and exploration.
"No. 1, start the self-inspection program and conduct electrical, electromagnetic, and structural inspections!"
"Received on the 1st!" Coldness seemed to be contagious, and everyone dedicated their souls to this exploration!
Chen Feng looked up and saw that No. 1 was operating according to the procedures meticulously and strictly, and nodded with satisfaction; he was afraid that someone would slip up at the critical moment! Some people are very strange. They are usually good, but at critical moments, they may be nervous or under too much pressure, which can harm others and themselves!
"Prepare for the second day, recheck all the previous steps to make sure there are no mistakes!"
"Received on the 2nd!" This tense moment, this scene of peak technology. There is no name, only a code name!
"Prepare on the 3rd. Return the time to zero and check the absolute time clock. What we need is absolute zero error!"
"No. 3 received it!" No. 3 is a female scientist, a woman who is attentive. Let her take on this task. At a speed of 0.15 times the speed of light, a slight deviation may cause immeasurable disaster. If this satellite hits the earth, it will be the sinner of the earth.
"Prepare on the 4th, check the balance point, no deviation is allowed!"
"No. 4 received it!" No. 4 is an old expert with gray hair. But young people really can’t do such a thing. In the space age on earth, one degree of deviation in space is hundreds of kilometers on the ground; and in this space age. Not to mention an inclination of one degree, even an inclination of one billionth, will lead to another result during the 12 light-year journey - perhaps, the detector will directly miss the star T in the constellation Cetus. Went to other constellations. You know, at 0.15 times the speed of light, it is not easy to turn.
"Prepare on the 5th to re-confirm the starry sky map. What I want to see is absolute accuracy. At the same time, check the detector's route. There should be no planets, meteorites, etc. Try to pass through interstellar space."
"Received on the 5th!" The starry sky is full of uncertainty, and you don't even know whether you will encounter a meteorite on the way forward - in theory of course. The universe is still very empty, but what if something bad happens! ! ! Scientists do not believe in luck, so they try to avoid any human error as much as possible.
"Prepare on the 6th. Check the operating room computer program, time, execution response speed and order!"
"Roger it, No. 6!" No. 6 is a young-looking researcher, who looks like he is in his thirties. Of course, don't be deceived by this guy's appearance. He is one of the few top scientists and top personnel who has participated in the research of mecha neural units. I have already received the reward of practicing. Today, this man is almost entirely responsible for the operation and maintenance of the Clairvoyance space factory. Under the movement operation that touches the speed of light, it is difficult for the human brain to accurately determine the time node. Therefore, everything can only be set after setting. Automatically operated by machine. He was one of the assistants of Professor Xiang Yundong.
Orders were issued one by one, and Chen Feng was also checking his records carefully; the detector has not been launched yet, so there is still a chance to save it; if it is launched, even a huge mistake cannot be corrected - 0.15 times the speed of light, you should be careful. It's a joke!
The countdown is getting closer and closer, and the people are waiting for that glorious moment; but the scientists seem to be walking on a fork in the road, with a cliff on one side and a palace of myths on the other! This is science. They hollowed out one side and built a glorious temple on the other side - but how many people can truly reach the top of the temple!
Ten atomic clocks are timing, and this launch must ensure absolute time accuracy. High technology is contained in these bits and pieces.
"Countdown to 60 seconds..." All inspections have been completed and all personnel have set the procedures. From this moment on, everyone leaves their seats and waits for the last moment!
The countdown is coming to the end little by little... Suddenly, the green light flashes and all the instruments are turned on! When the atomic clock hits "0", they all turn on at the same time. The computer control is so precise that it even reaches the Planck time point. Even the propagation speed of electrical energy in cables and the error of light in the laboratory have been taken into consideration. Its precision is absolutely what Chen Feng calls "zero error!" There is no need for six nines, nine nines, or twelve nines! Just "0"!
To put it bluntly, just this fixed device is enough to make the current earth salivate.
Then I saw a burst of light flashing from the starry sky cannon, and then a blue light point was instantly stimulated... But this was just the beginning!
If we were to advance in space at 0.15 times the speed of light, it would take more than 80 years to reach the star T in the constellation Cetus! Eighty years! It’s still Earth year! If replaced by Venus, it would be 104 years! What if we add the time it takes for the signal to return? Haha... These two generations are in their prime! It’s enough for a long-lived family to have five generations living under one roof!
Therefore, what the empire used in the later period was light pressure drive!
The fast-moving Clairvoyance probe slowly unfolded its solar sail in space. Although the speed remained unchanged, it was like a peacock spreading its tail, and a golden solar sail with a diameter of two hundred meters slowly unfolded! In order to prevent corrosion and stability, while using ultra-high temperature materials, gold coating technology is also used. Get this advanced detector. Can work under high pressure for 50 years!
Boom... All the mirrors started to work, and a beam of sunlight with a diameter of two hundred meters and a light intensity of a thousand times that of Venus was gathered and emitted! The speed of light is absolutely constant and is the fastest speed discovered in the human world today. Although the previous Clairvoyance detector is already very fast, reaching 0.15 times the speed of light. It took a few minutes to deploy the solar sail. At this time, it had exceeded the orbit of the Earth and was about to enter the orbit of Mars. But this laser that is not a laser still catches up extremely quickly!
Bang... Although it is silent space, you can still see the dim solar sail that is instantly dazzling - it is the reflected sunlight - at this time, it is already eight minutes later!
What is the concept of a force of 2.7 tons acting on a detector weighing 200 kilograms?
It’s almost a speed bonus of more than 130 meters per second!
In other words, every second, the detector's speed increases by more than 130 meters - an increase of 11,000 kilometers per second in one Earth day! A few dozen Earth days can increase the detector to the speed of light...
Of course, that's impossible. According to the mass-energy formula, we can know that the faster the speed, the greater the mass, and the space-time in which the object itself is located - mainly time. Already different from the outside world. But even so, after one Earth month, the detector speed can still reach the terrifying 0.7 times the speed of light!
The diameter of the solar system, if calculated based on planetary orbits, is approximately 12.3 billion kilometers; if calculated based on the position that the solar wind can reach. It is about 110 billion kilometers; if calculated according to the Oort cloud, it is about 45 billion kilometers; but if calculated according to the scope of influence, it is 300 billion kilometers!
These distances are not a big problem for detectors traveling at high speed! This high-speed probe, unprecedented in human history, flew to the orbit of Pluto in just four hours and a day. It flew beyond the scope of the Oort Cloud—30 Earth days later, it completely escaped the gravitational range of the solar system, and its speed reached 0.712 times the speed of light!
In order to propel this detector, the booster "sunlight" emitted from Venus traveled across half of the solar system, across the Oort cloud, across the solar ion wind range, and traveled 150 billion kilometers! this distance. Even if light reaches here from Venus, it will take 110 hours! In other words, in order to drive this detector, the sunlight at this moment must be determined 110 hours in advance. Only then can we accurately continue to push the detector forward with zero deflection! The difficulty of this technology is equivalent to firing a bullet on Venus. After the sun rotates dozens of times, it accurately hits the signal transmitter of a satellite in outer space!
This is one of the most cutting-edge technologies in the world today; the most cutting-edge technology is not just about how powerful the machine is, it also needs to be precise! If the target cannot be hit, even a nuclear warhead will be blinded! It would be a joke if you exploded an advanced nuclear warhead on your own land! In short, those invisible places often require more advanced technology. Using sunlight as a power source has long been available; but being able to use it so superbly, spanning 1,000 distances between the earth and the sun, and accurately advancing the goal is still unbelievable to the scientists of the current Republic.
But he said that lucky space probe, hurry up! Incredibly fast! It is said that when passing by Saturn, the old detectors on Saturn were focused and did not capture the shadow of the Clairvoyance detector - its speed was too fast and exceeded the response speed of ordinary cameras.
As it rushed out of the solar system's range of influence, the tail trailing behind the detector, the beam, disappeared; then, under the control of the program, the detector slowly retracted its solar sail and regrouped into a "bullet" of a hundred meters in length. , disappeared rapidly in space... Its speed was so fast that it didn't even have time to take a few commemorative photos of the solar system! Of course, this is also to save energy. The structure of the handheld nuclear power plant is relatively simple and cannot be shut down once it is started, so everyone can only endure it for the time being!
Only on the Clairvoyance Space Factory can we see the reflected light, and then make pre-judgments based on these reflections and decisively correct the angle of the beam. Because the detector continues to advance and accelerate, the reflected light begins to undergo a significant red shift, which can be seen clearly with the naked eye even without instruments. At first, there was still a little golden light reflected back, which is a feature of the gold coating technology; but gradually as the detector accelerated, the reflected light began to slowly turn red... In order to ensure the intensity of the light and the detector's Acceleration, after the red shift phenomenon occurs, compensation light is decisively used to compensate for the thrust. Here at the launch center, only a bright red light spot can be seen, gradually disappearing in the universe; after it exceeds the orbit of Pluto, the reflected light is already very weak, and at this time, it can only rely on previous data to accelerate.
In the empty and dark space, a representative pioneer from human civilization rushed out of the solar system without looking back, bringing some insignificant changes to the universe!
