Chapter 921 Three Tickets~
The matter of the electromagnetic railgun and the electromagnetic sniper rifle has come to an end for the time being, and Xu Chuan is ready to return to Jinling.
But this time there was one more person accompanying him, Chief Ouyang Zhenyang from the Naval Equipment Department.
Leader Ouyang wanted to know the specific research status of exoskeleton devices, so he followed him to Jinling.
Xu Chuan didn't pay much attention to this. Along the way, he was thinking about ways to improve the problems of electromagnetic rail guns and electromagnetic sniper rifles.
Although the brain-computer interface chip and bionic robotic arm researched by Xu Xiao can temporarily solve the problem, the problems of the size, weight, and length of the electromagnetic sniper rifle have not actually been solved.
In fact, after trying out the electromagnetic sniper rifle, he roughly knew what Academician Wang Yong and Wang Enge wanted to do with his help.
But this problem is not so easy to solve.
Because the size, weight, and length of electromagnetic sniper rifles basically involve the core materials, namely copper oxide-based chromium-silver system and room-temperature superconducting materials.
This is the core foundation of the Thor electromagnetic railgun and this as-yet-unnamed electromagnetic sniper rifle.
Only it can provide a huge critical magnetic field in a normal environment and provide sufficient acceleration for the launch of the electromagnetic gun.
If you want to optimize these problems, the only way is to improve the performance of room temperature superconducting materials.
But with the current technological development, this is almost impossible to do in a short time.
Even if he completed a theoretical paper on the mechanism of room temperature superconducting materials through condensed matter physics, it would be extremely difficult to further optimize this.
Thoughts were flowing in his mind. On the high-speed train, Xu Chuan was writing and drawing to record some of his thoughts, preparing to have others study them when he returned to Jinling.
After the last character fell on the keyboard in his hand, Xu Chuan breathed a long sigh of relief and habitually pressed the CTRL+S keys to save some of the ideas he had written.
Although it is very difficult to continue to improve the performance of room temperature superconducting materials, the brain-computer interface chip + bionic exoskeleton device researched by Xu Xiao can make up for the shortcomings of electromagnetic sniper rifles to a certain extent.
In addition, he also learned through Ouyang Zhenxian, the head of the Naval Equipment Department, that the army is now equipped with a lot of "Lynx" all-terrain vehicles.
This all-terrain vehicle uses 8×8 full-time drive and has eight wheels. It is nicknamed the "cat car" by netizens and has excellent all-terrain passing capabilities. It also has excellent load-bearing capacity.
Perhaps bionic exoskeleton devices may not be fully equipped on soldiers in a short period of time, but in the army, there is actually not much pressure on how to transport heavier weapons such as electromagnetic sniper rifles.
With the combination of electromagnetic sniper rifle + bionic exoskeleton + Bobcat all-terrain vehicle, in the near future, they will have a new form of special forces.
Perhaps the number of this army may not be large in a short period of time, but its combat capabilities will be absolutely powerful!
After sending the leader of the Naval Equipment Department to Xu Xiao, Xu Chuan returned to Xinghai Research Institute.
Just when Xu Chuan opened the office door and was about to walk to his desk, the phone in his pocket vibrated.
He took out the phone and took a look. The caller was Tang Ran, the assistant from Nanda University.
Thumb across the screen, Xu Chuan answered the phone: "Hello, Tang Ran."
On the phone, Tang Ran reported quickly: "Professor, the Jinling Municipal Government just called, saying that the trial operation of the porous liquefied DAC carbon dioxide trap is about to be officially launched. They would like to invite you to attend the launch ceremony." < br>
"Of course, Director Han from the Industrial Information Bureau said that it doesn't matter if you don't have time."
Hearing the news, Xu Chuan was stunned for a moment before he remembered that in the second half of last year, he signed a contract with the Jinling Municipal Government on an urban reconstruction project.
The content of the contract is actually very simple. The Chuanhai Materials Research Institute provides porous liquefied DAC carbon dioxide traps and cooperates with the government to renovate some urban high-rise buildings in Jinling City.
This is part of the super city he had previously conceived to regulate urban temperature by reducing carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the city on a large scale and reducing the heat island effect.
The follow-up will use artificial intelligence + carbon-based chips + quantum computing as the skeleton, superconducting magnetic levitation + driverless driving as the flesh and blood, and environmental control technology as the skin to create an ideal living city.
Of course, in addition to the transformation of super cities, another role of the porous liquefied DAC carbon dioxide trap is the transformation of the Mars ecosystem.
At least for some of these technologies, the pilot project here in Jinling is actually to collect specific experimental data to judge whether this technology really has sufficient potential.
If he remembered correctly, the first phase of the urban renewal project was to renovate a total of ten high-rise buildings in the city center.
Although it is not difficult to deploy a porous liquefied DAC carbon dioxide trap, the transformation work can be completed in less than half a year. It must be said that the efficiency of the Jinling Municipal Government is still quite high.
The thoughts in his mind were flowing, and Xu Chuan came back to his senses and said, "When will the kick-off meeting be?"
"One week later, April 28th."
Tang Ran replied quickly, and then asked: "Professor, are you ready to participate?"
Xu Chuan nodded and said, "Let's go."
Hearing this, Tang Ran immediately replied: "Okay, Professor, I will communicate with the city immediately to arrange the itinerary."
"Well, I'll leave it to you." Xu Chuan nodded, handed the matter over to Tang Ran and hung up the phone.
The deployment of porous liquefied DAC carbon dioxide traps and urban environmental renovation projects were things that were not his turn to go through in person, so it was almost enough for Fan Peng to go over to Senior Brother Fan's place.
However, this project itself was proposed by him. On the other hand, it also involves the Mars transformation project that may be carried out in the future. He is ready to go to the site to see it in person to understand the specific situation.
Jinling, Xinghai Research Institute.
In the office, Xu Chuan turned on the computer and prepared to process the work emails that had accumulated during this period.
Although he has been helping Xu Xiao solve the problem of accurately sensing and converting brain wave signals in the brain-computer interface chip during this period, other work is progressing smoothly.
The second-generation space shuttle Fuyao, which carried a large amount of equipment to Mars for preliminary exploration work, is going well and is already halfway through its journey. It will reach the low-Earth orbit of Mars in another half month.
The current main research work at the CRHPC Ring Super Particle Collider is still to detect and improve his unified theory of strong electricity.
The remaining predicted coupling constants are being verified one by one. If the subsequent collision experiments go well, all the work may be completed in the second half of this year.
By then the unified theory of strong electricity will be fully accepted by the physics community. Although the physics community has almost accepted it now, he may still have to revise the paper before the predictions of several key coupling constants are fully confirmed. Modified.
Although he was extremely confident about these things, he was not 100% sure that his research theory was correct.
After all, this already involves unknown areas that humans have never touched.
Just as he was thinking about arranging the matter in an email, another phone call came in.
Picking up the phone from the desk and looking at the caller ID, the call came from Academician Chang Huaxiang from the Xia Shu Aerospace Base.
Seeing the name, he answered the phone with a smile and said: "Hello, Mr. Chang." On the other side of the phone, Academician Chang Huaxiang smiled and asked: "Go back to Jinling, right?"
Xu Chuan nodded and said: "I just arrived in the afternoon, what happened?"
Chang Huaxiang: "Do you still remember what you said during CCTV's live broadcast of the Fuyao space shuttle's voyage to Mars?"
Hearing this, Xu Chuan's mind instantly recalled what he had promised in Yang Ma's live broadcast room nearly a month ago, and said with a smile: "Remember, the candidates have been selected?"
Chang Huaxiang shook his head with a smile and said: "You are really a hands-off shopkeeper. The candidates were settled more than half a month ago. Tonight is the time for these three lucky people to set sail for the moon."
Xu Chuan patted his head and said with a smile: "I did forget about this. I'll go there later."
Chang Huaxiang: "What are you doing here?"
Xu Chuan: "Come over and take a look. What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
Chang Huaxiang asked with a strange expression: "You really don't want to go up with them, do you?"
Apart from this possibility, to be honest, he really couldn't think of any other possibilities. After all, for today's Xiashu Space Base, the already mature aerospace technology has already transported countless astronauts and scientific researchers between the earth and the moon.
Although it was said that these three ordinary people's trip to the moon was something that this person did on a whim, it was really nothing to them, and there was no need to make the trip themselves.
Unless he wants to go to the moon with him.
Hearing this, Xu Chuan was a little dumbfounded and said: "Am I so untrustworthy? Didn't I say last time that I wouldn't go up with you?"
Chang Huaxiang said cheerfully: "That's not necessarily the case. With your personality, maybe you don't want to get on the plane now. Then when you arrive, you see three tourists boarding the plane and you follow them on impulse."
Hearing this, Xu Chuan couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said: "I went over this time because I happened to see you and have some other things to do."
The matter of three ordinary tourists traveling to the moon was indeed beyond his level. Even if it was something he personally arranged, it would not be his turn to personally come forward.
However, he was still quite interested in this matter.
Although the modern Internet has greatly promoted the flow of information and news, it is still very difficult and takes time for real development to reach the people at the bottom and for everyone to truly feel the changes.
In fact, it is difficult for ordinary people to feel changes in cutting-edge development fields.
Just like the development of the aerospace field.
Unlike astronauts and scholars who go to the moon to conduct scientific research, ordinary people traveling to the moon can truly open up the door to extraterrestrial immigration.
No matter how prosperous the former is, it is just a development at the national and scientific research level. For ordinary people, it will only be "wow" or "awesome" after the manned moon landing is successful, the construction of the scientific research base is completed, or a certain scientific research result is completed. Strong! ’ and the like.
The latter is what truly allows ordinary people to come into contact with this out-of-reach development.
This will greatly promote the development of the aerospace field and is complementary to the country's policy support for the aerospace field.
Especially this time, his support for the transfer of tickets for the 'Moon Trip' will allow some private capital to participate.
For example, Prince Faisal of the Middle East previously proposed building a "mosque" and a "lunar hotel" on the moon, as well as resource development on the moon, etc.
When aerospace technology is sufficient to support the development of outer space, these things can actually be brought up on a daily basis.
Perhaps it is a little impatient in terms of time, but considering that there may be another huge "project of the century" in the future, it is necessary to promote private participation in the development of the aerospace field and the development of outer space.
After chatting with Academician Chang Huaxiang for a few words, Xu Chuan hung up the phone.
After sending a message to Zheng Hai asking him to pick him up, he searched the email and found that there were indeed some previous work reports from the Aerospace Research Institute and Xia Shu Space Base.
The three moon landing spots that were promised from the Yangma live broadcast room at Xia Shu Space Base a few months ago have been selected with the help of Weng Yunzong and Wen Yuanhang.
Three lucky netizens received invitations to travel to the moon after being vetted.
Two of the netizens chose to publicly 'transfer' their quotas online, and the targets of the transfer were only those wealthy people.
According to the space travel services previously determined by Xinghai Research Institute, the business of traveling to space is 19.99 million (meter gold), while the business of traveling to the moon is 49.99 million (meter gold) ).
Judging from the current development of the aerospace field in various countries, only China and the United States are capable of completing these two travel businesses.
But the latter's aerospace technology, to be honest, although it can send astronauts to the moon and achieve manned landing on the moon, the risk is still high.
It has only been two years since the Artemis lunar module had an accident, leaving three astronauts stranded on the moon.
If China had not happened to be carrying out a manned moon landing mission at that time and had the ability to rescue them, I am afraid that the three astronauts would have been three cold corpses by now.
Therefore, whether it is considered from a technical perspective or from a safety perspective, only China is actually qualified and capable of conducting space travel, especially earth-to-moon travel.
If the scope is narrowed down a bit, there is actually only the Xiashu Space Base.
Don't look at the price of 49.99 million meters of gold for a trip to the moon, which is an astronomical figure for ordinary people, but for those who are truly rich, this is a completely acceptable price.
But just because they can accept it, doesn’t mean they will definitely be able to ‘apply’ for a place to travel to the Earth and the Moon.
There are currently no so-called "civilian facilities" on the moon. The only Yuehuatai Outpost Research Station base that can accommodate people for accommodation and travel is currently basically not open to the public.
All personnel going to the moon, except astronauts, are scientific researchers, engineers and related scholars from various countries.
In other words, although Xinghai Research Institute currently has "lunar travel" in its space travel business, it has not carried out related work.
Therefore, only the near-Earth space travel business is currently open. It can be said that those wealthy people who have experienced near-Earth travel have no way to travel to the moon.
But this time, Xu Chuan opened this opportunity to the outside world, although there were only three places, and they were selected randomly from the CCTV live broadcast room.
But for these super rich people, it is not difficult to buy places from these three lucky people with money.
After all, not everyone is Mr. Ma who doesn’t love money.
For ordinary people who accidentally get three invitations, whether they transfer the invitations to others or keep them to travel to the moon, they are all options.
The former is tantamount to a windfall from winning the lottery, while the latter is more like fulfilling one's dream.
No matter which one they choose, for these three people, it is the benefit brought by space development.
