I Have a Little Black Hole

Chapter 70 Ultra-long-term planning - building a spaceship

As for the harvest of various metals, Lei Tiantang is too lazy to count the specific quality of them. Anyway, he doesn't know how long it will take to use up this harvest. He simply estimates that it is only 6 9s of gold. There are probably more than 300,000 tons at a time. How much of this gold can he use on the earth? It's not as useful as iron, at least the usefulness of iron can be used a lot when he builds his own underground laboratory.

With such a large harvest, Lei Tiantang finally has the passion for work again. The universe is so big, I want to go and see it! And if you want to go to the waves in the universe, you must have at least a spaceship, and it has to be an ultra-high-tech superluminal spaceship! Otherwise, if a conventional spacecraft does not have a superluminal engine, it can only travel at a speed lower than the speed of light. What if you fly fast?

In the vast expanse of space, there are countless stars, of which the closest star to the sun is called Proxima Centauri. . If you use the fastest spacecraft to travel to Proxima Centauri, it will take 170,000 years to go back and forth. It is conceivable that the universe is so big that even if it is Proxima Centauri, it is far away.

With such a comparison, everyone should know how difficult it is to make waves in the universe, right? Even if we drive an ordinary spacecraft to 0.99 times the speed of light, it will take more than 4 years to reach Proxima Centauri, which is the closest galaxy to the earth, not to mention when the spacecraft can reach such a speed?

Lei Tiantang still has a lot of ideas about this. He has no doubts that he can go to the cosmos, because he can handle the most important materials for building spaceships, and there is no problem with materials of any quality. A spaceship that can fly in the universe is an incomparably huge system engineering, and it is not enough to have materials.

Therefore, Lei Tiantang first set a small goal for his plan, to build a spaceship that can navigate in the solar system. With the current technology, there is no problem if it is further developed. Now, it restricts humans from using spaceships in the solar system. The main reason for its creation is the problem of materials. Without good materials, the thrust of the rocket cannot go up, and the spacecraft cannot be sent into space. Even when it comes to space safety, there is no guarantee. There are too many dangers in space. All kinds of radiation and space dust can threaten the safety of spacecraft.

And if you want to build a spaceship that can take off directly from the earth, there are more things to do, because human beings have never done this kind of things, so everything has to start from scratch, but Lei Tiantang is still very With confidence, he can solve the most critical material problem, and the rest is the design.

Of course, design and construction is also a big project. Each system of the spacecraft has only limited experience to learn from, and almost all of them have to start from scratch. For example, the communication in the universe must now choose quantum communication, and quantum communication is still at the forefront of science. technology, and Huaxia is at the leading level in this field, but there is still a long way to go before it can be fully applied in spacecraft.

Another example is the life support system of the spacecraft. Although there is an example of the International Space Station, the International Space Station is regularly replenished. If the spacecraft needed by Lei Tiantang has to travel in the solar system for a long time, the supply will be a big problem. Can't launch supply ships often? So the sustainable life support system on the spacecraft is very important, and green plants can also relieve the anxiety of astronauts in confined spaces for a long time.

There is also the engine of the spaceship. Of course, a large-mass spaceship needs a powerful engine to take off from the earth, and there is almost no precedent for such an engine to learn from, so it must be designed and manufactured from scratch, which will be another big project.

There are also control systems, escape systems, etc. that are almost designed from scratch, but Lei Tiantang was not intimidated by these problems.

His life is already on the line, and now it is a good thing to have a goal for him to strive for, otherwise, do you think about how to make money every day? He won't be short of money now, not to mention the value of those precious metals such as gold he owns, just say that the new material company he is now focusing on developing, he will help develop some new materials when the new laboratory equipment arrives , how much does it cost?

Of course, there is nothing wrong with having money. To build a spaceship, you must spend astronomical amounts of money, but money alone is not enough. The key is that sometimes you have no use for money, such as Lei Tiantang's plan to build a spaceship. , Without the participation of the state, Lei Tiantang alone and his company would never be able to do it.

Lei Tiantang thought about this when he thought of this small goal. Without the participation of the country, many things cannot be done. The simplest point is that the top talents are almost all the treasures of the country, and he wants to design a spaceship. You have to involve these babies, otherwise, if you recruit some talents to train yourself and then participate in the design, then this spacecraft will not know how to build it in the year of the monkey!

The key is that you must be able to do such a big project in a superpower like China, because it has the foundation of this industry and there is no shortage of talents. If you want to build a spaceship in a country like India, Then just dream, they can't even build their own guns! Therefore, Lei Tiantang must obtain the support of the state.

It is definitely impossible for the country to agree to such a plan in the early stage. It is estimated that the country will not participate in the middle and late stage, because if it is an individual, he will go to the country and tell the country that I want to build a spaceship, and the country will take care of you. Money doesn't work either. You have to prove that you can do this, and then go to the state for help. This is the way to do things. Otherwise, the slogans are useless.

However, he still has to keep in touch with the country in the early stage, and Lei Tiantang has also selected the target in the early stage. His company is going to carry out research on new materials. After the laboratory equipment returns, he plans to develop the first one. The new material is stealth paint, which is the stealth paint used on high-end armaments such as stealth fighters. The current stealth paint is basically repainted for a few times at most, like the F22 of the US Emperor.

There are still several F22s in his storage space. There are ready-made invisible paints for his reference. After he solves the problem that invisible paints are not durable, his company will also become the country's key military-industrial cooperation unit. In this way When he develops new materials in the future, and gradually cooperates with the country, when he has prepared the preliminary preparations for the spacecraft, it will be very convenient to go to the country to cooperate.
