Chapter 92: Intrigue
Donuts As a new generation of famous electronic pets in the near future, Runmei is famous on the Internet for her delicious donuts.
The older generation of Run Renmei, Councilor Ding, can still negotiate terms and get Daole from the testing agency. When the donuts, Runmei, are directly transported to the hibernation center by pickup truck after pickup truck.
The angry Donuts blasted the old Americans on Twitter for not respecting martial ethics:
“Are you sick, America? If you don’t go to the hibernation center, you will be locked up all the time. , Illegal immigrants are not people, right?”
"Why the hell don't you let us out? We have to find a job before we can go out. If we don't find a job, we have to hibernate all the time?
Does anyone know if our health will be bad? If we repeat hibernation within a month? What are the side effects? "
"Why do I feel that something is wrong with this style of painting? Some Mexican illegal immigrants in the surrounding area have begun to think that it is good to have food and clothing here. After waking up from hibernation, they feel very energetic and have electronic devices to play with. They think this is a paradise and they don’t want to find a job anymore.
No, I have to leave. I feel that human hibernation may be addictive. ! ”
"Old Mo is so disgusting. He came to disgust you while you were hibernating!"
In the end, the donuts still had to be pushed out. The only difference was whether they were detained by the Immigration Bureau or in the human hibernation center. .
This technology spreads quickly in Amerikan, and the effects in Los Angeles and Austin are completely different.
Because it involves putting illegal immigrants into hibernation, although their consent was clearly obtained, it still has a somewhat rough meaning.
In addition, this is a technology that has not been fully verified. It is considered by human rights organizations to be a violation of the human rights of illegal immigrants, which has caused a lot of protests. Therefore, large-scale promotion is not that easy.
In Austin, it was completely different. They found that after human hibernation, the management cost of illegal immigrants was greatly reduced.
Originally, they kept these illegal immigrants in the Immigration Bureau for at most half a year and then released them. After all, they were not detained. These people had to have space to eat, drink, relax, and move around, and they needed people to manage them.
Through human hibernation, management costs are directly reduced by half.
The governor of Texas publicly announced in an interview that he would expand the scale of the human hibernation center. His explanation for this was:
“We cannot determine the mental and physical status of each illegal immigrant. The medical system is understaffed to provide complete treatment to every illegal immigrant.
Human hibernation is a good technology. After receiving human hibernation treatment, they can enter a new life with a new look and a peaceful mind. ”
Hongzhou thought to himself, if the border wall cannot be moved, I will disturb the influx of illegal immigrants.
Treating the symptoms but not the root cause is just treating the symptoms. When the Donkey Party is out of power, it will be treating both the symptoms and the symptoms. .
Human body hibernation has opened a curtain on the earth, and the impact of Amerikan society on society has been revealed.
In the future time and space, human body hibernation is complete. Impossible to abuse like modern time and space, they can only be used for space travel and extending the life of a few people
At that time, there was no need to rely on human hibernation technology for disease treatment.
"Levitt, Stanford would like to invite you to serve as an honorary professor and give an introduction to human hibernation-related technologies.
Are you interested?" Levitt said.
As Chen Yuanguang's Bole, the earliest partner, and a big player who was fleeced, Chen Yuanguang's academic cooperation with Levitt was even more than that with his nominal mentor Mengji Bawendi.
The papers including simulations and predictions of virus evolution paths during virus epidemics are also named after Chen Yuanguang and Levitt, so that many people in the academic community have always thought that Levitt was Chen Yuanguang's mentor.
Chen Yuanguang looked at Levitt and shook his head helplessly: "You know, human hibernation technology is too sensitive.
I definitely can't go to Amerikan.
You can come to Fudan to teach, I don't Most likely to go to Stanford
If I can go to America, then if SpaceX helps me launch the space probe this time, I will be there by myself instead of staying in the office and watching the Zoom live broadcast arranged by Musk. . ”
Levitt had already gone to Fudan to become a professor, and he was the kind of professor who could really lead the class, not a completely honorary one.
Levitt initially thought it was because the Chinese government wouldn't let him go, but then he thought about it and realized that if the Chinese government didn't let him go, he would be in personal danger if he went. Then he shook his head helplessly like Chen Yuanguang.
As a person born in the 40s, he knows very well how rare it is to have a peaceful earth in the past thirty years. In the world earlier, how fierce the struggle was, and the threat of potential war affected everyone.
Now this trend is on the rise again, preventing such an outstanding scientist as Chen Yuanguang from setting foot on Amerikan's land. Levitt couldn't help but sigh, time is reincarnation.
“I will help you refuse.
Now there are only two of us, and we are in your office, Yuan Guang, will the human hibernation technology have any side effects?
Think of it as satisfying an old man's curiosity. "Levitt said that he directly called Chen Yuanguang by his Chinese name.
Chen Yuanguang knew that Levitt was a smart man, and even if he knew there was a problem, he would not say anything. Because human hibernation is a matter of two parties: donkey and elephant. The consensus is that his standing up and speaking will have no effect at all.
As for why he wants to know, after thinking about it carefully, Chen Yuanguang doesn’t think it is really out of curiosity, but if there are side effects or potential harm, he will. Oppose in his own way.
His words are useless, but he can mobilize the power of the scientific community.
If Chen Yuanguang says that human hibernation technology has side effects, Levitt and Chen Yuanguang can prove the side effects in reverse. What is it, and then join forces with the scientific community to put pressure on Amerikan to conduct a comprehensive inspection of human hibernation technology?
Chen Yuanguang thought to himself: An old fox is still an old fox.
Then he said calmly: "There are no side effects that can be observed immediately or in the short term.
You can check the experimental data. Our experimental data will be released quarterly.< br>
If you want to see our internal experimental data, I can show you the latest one.
As for my personal feeling, I also think there are no side effects.”
Levitt said: "What about habitual hibernation and addiction?"
The former means that after hibernating for many times, the human body will develop the habit of hibernating. Even if the human hibernating equipment is not used in the future, it will involuntarily enter hibernation. state.
Chen Yuanguang denied: "How can human hibernation change the habits developed by people over thousands of years in just a few dozen times.
Addictiveness is even more nonsense. Some people will think about it. Are you addicted to sleeping? "
After Guangjia Technology went public, Chen Yuanguang felt like he had unlocked an achievement. If there was a badge system, he should have obtained the badge of a listed company.
With the rapid performance of Guangjia Technology in the capital market, state-owned assets from all over the country have become more confident in Guangjia Aerospace. Even if Chen Yuanguang wanted to cooperate with SpaceX to launch detectors and related satellites, Shenhai helped him block it.
“We currently need to do a lot of work. This is just the first round of detectors. When this round of detectors is completed, the next round of satellites will be launched.
We have recently been working on We will design a new generation of gamma-ray spectrometers to transform them.
Compared with traditional use of low-resolution spectrometers, it then takes months and a lot of computing resources to map large-scale observations from orbit. According to the elemental composition map of the star's surface, gamma rays are more suitable for the needs of asteroid mining. The opportunity for asteroid mining is fleeting, its orbit is unpredictable, and the time it appears in a suitable mining orbit is very limited.
We need to quickly judge whether it has the value of mining, and whether it can recover the cost after one mining trip, or at least break even.
The time period of the surface element composition map of several months is too long and we cannot tolerate it. "Chen Yuanguang is having a remote video conference with Musk.
Musk is obviously very interested in asteroid mining, and he has to get up at 4:30 in the morning to have this meeting with Chen Yuanguang.
He is very I’m curious whether Chen Yuanguang’s plan is a joke or whether he really intends to do it.
The economic benefits of mining asteroids in the short term are much higher than going to Mars.
Only by truly realizing asteroid mining can Musk see the hope of transforming Mars and building a Martian city in his lifetime.
Chen Yuanguang continued: "You know, all objects in the solar system are constantly bombarded by cosmic rays.
These high-energy particles from deep space hit asteroids at very fast speeds to expose the surface.
Smash the atoms in the top layer and produce a shower of secondary particles, including neutrons.
The neutrons then repeatedly collide with atoms in the material, creating gamma in the process. Ray.
We use a gamma-ray detector to record the intensity and wavelength of gamma rays coming from the surface of the asteroid.
By analyzing this spectrum, it is possible to determine the concentrations of many important rock-forming elements, including oxygen, magnesium, silicon and iron, not to mention the precious metal gold. ”
Chen Yuanguang’s thinking is very clear, or the thinking of early human asteroid mining in the future is very clear.
They are all stepped on one pit after another.
Musk listened very seriously. Just from this idea, it can be seen that Chen Yuanguang is not just joking.
There is a difference between what you really want to do and when you plan to make money and run away. It is easy for a genius to accumulate knowledge, but it is difficult to fake the mental state when talking about this matter.
Chen Yuanguang’s passion when he talked about the plan was something Musk could feel even across the screen.
Musk asked curiously: "You are right. The question is how to detect gamma rays and confirm that the gamma rays do come from the corresponding asteroid?"
Musk continued Said: "Previously, to detect gamma rays, high-purity germanium was needed. It required cryogenic cooling and was very bulky. It could not be used on satellites at all.
Even if it is a robot lander, it needs to use high-purity germanium. The purity of germanium can’t be achieved.”
Chen Yuanguang said: "This requires the use of a new material. The specific new material is a commercial secret."
Musk immediately changed the topic because he knew that continuing the topic would only arouse the other party's vigilance. Musk I feel that the cooperation time is still very long.
Since you want to use SpaceX equipment, then the launch of your new generation of gamma ray detectors does not have to rely on SpaceX.
Chen Yuanguang feels that Musk's curiosity is a bit too strong. He must get the recyclable rocket as soon as possible. The only way to control this technology is in his own hands.
The cooperation between the two parties is based on evil intentions.
After having a remote video conference with Musk and watching the Falcon 9 successfully fly into the preset orbit, he closed the computer and prepared to have breakfast.
"How is it?" Lin Jia was already waiting for him at the dining table. There were bread, salad, fried eggs and grilled sausages on the table.
Due to the special nature of their work, they did not hire a nanny, and someone would come to the house regularly to check for some monitoring equipment.
Chen Yuanguang said: "It went very smoothly. It has entered the preset track. It will not enter the next track until the next round of level changes.
There should be no problem."
< br>
Lin Jia gritted his teeth, "It's still too expensive. One shot costs 30 million U.S. dollars."
According to official data released by SpaceX, each Falcon 9 launch to low-Earth orbit costs 62 million U.S. dollars. This is new. The price of a rocket.
That is to say, the first launch of the rocket cost 62 million US dollars.
But Falcon 9 can be recycled.
The price of the rocket for the second launch will be reduced to US$50 million, and SpaceX has a bunch of rockets with more than 10 launches.
They have to prepare to reach Gaussian orbit and have to fully load the Falcon 9, so the price will be more expensive than recyclable.
The Gaussian orbit is an elliptical orbit. The distance of the earth from the perigee of this orbit is less than 1,000 kilometers, and the distance from the apogee is 36,000 kilometers.
At the same time, it can reach geostationary orbit after acceleration.
In other words, through Falcon 9, the detector can be sent to a farther place and more accurate data can be detected.
If we cooperate with China Aerospace Group and use the Long March series of rockets, the first thing is the price. The external price quoted by Long March B is about 40 million US dollars, which is a bit more expensive, but it is not bad because it can be settled in RMB.
The second point is more fatal, and that is the load. The load of the Long March B is 5.5 tons, which cannot reach the target value of light armor aerospace.
Another reason is that Chen Yuanguang hopes to obtain some Falcon 9 emission data. The detector they carry can capture Falcon 9 data.
Relying on future technology, it’s not that we can’t make a much better recyclable rocket than Falcon 9.
The main thing is that Chen Yuanguang must grasp the speed and use the technology acceptable in this era to achieve the greatest effect.
Instead of coming up with some black technology that no one can understand and causing unnecessary trouble.
You can lead, but your lead is limited.
If someone else has a payload of less than 10 tons, and you build a starship with a payload of 300 tons, this is within the normal range. However, if you use a curvature engine to build a starship with a payload of 3,000 tons, this is abnormal.
“There is no way, aerospace is expensive, otherwise how could the starting budget be US$2 billion.
Two billion US dollars is not a small number.
Now come on I’m a little nervous looking at US$2 billion.”
Chen Yuanguang regretted a little. If he had known it was so easy to get money, he should have asked for more.
Lin Jia asked: "Are you sure?
If it fails, it will be difficult to attract investment in the future."
Chen Yuanguang said: "You are sure, but even if If it doesn’t succeed, it’s not impossible to invest money yourself later.”
