Infinite Life: Trapped in a lifetime

This year, Mo Dao was fifty-six years old.

The entire country of China is still in the period of technological and industrial explosion after the conquest of room temperature superconducting materials.

After several years of deliberation, achievements in various fields based on room temperature superconducting materials and some construction plans in various aspects have been

I began to see more and more obvious results, and more of them entered into people's lives.

The face of the entire world continues to undergo radical changes as a result.

50 years,

March.

It took almost four years after the third material was successfully synthesized.

The materials research team of Qiusuo Research Institute has completed the synthesis of all the remaining materials among the eleven materials originally listed by Mo Dao.

Although no other room temperature superconducting materials have been found whose critical temperature exceeds the third material,

However, the properties and various data of synthetic materials can be regarded as a supplement to Mo Dao's superconducting theory.

In addition, there are also materials that are close to room temperature superconductivity, such as the eighth material. The critical temperature for superconductivity under normal pressure is about minus two degrees Celsius.

Although the scope of application is much smaller than that of the third material, it is not completely without application value.

In addition, the 026 material discovered from the moon surface,

Over the years, I have never given up on research.

Even at that time, Mo Dao had already started from the theory of superconductivity and realized his own room temperature superconducting material within the scope of human materials science.

However, Mo Dao did not give up investing resources in this area and did not let the materials research team give up research in this area.

Mo Dao's theory of superconductivity is not yet complete. Even if it is to explore a different possibility, it is of considerable value to continue researching 026 materials.

And this year,

Qiusuo Research Institute finally, after so many years,

Successfully came up with a path that can theoretically synthesize 026 materials.

The most important thing is that a material predicted by the first theory on this theoretical path has been synthesized that has never been synthesized before.

Although this is only the first step in the theoretical path to synthesize 026 materials, the ability to synthesize this material and the research process of this synthesis path itself are of extraordinary significance.

…

This year.

In addition to pursuing breakthroughs in various fields within the institute,

There was also quite a bit of movement outside the Qiusuo Research Institute.

Even though Mo Dao stayed in the Qiusuo Research Institute all year round, he noticed some things.

August.

In the third year after the first superconducting magnetic levitation experimental train based on the third material rolled off the production line,

The first superconducting maglev line in China with direct access between regions has been transformed and upgraded.

Superconducting maglev trains have entered regular operation on this line.

On the day this superconducting maglev line was officially opened,

The old leader who had met Mo Dao several times was also present and gave a speech.

"More developed transportation connects us more closely across a vast land, and also allows us to experience a broader world."

"Perhaps one day, we will reach from one end of the country to the other, just like the beginning of the village walking towards the end of the village. The physical distance is no longer an obstacle on the earth, and we will be able to stop and take root in this solid soil, connecting us Focus more on the vaster world, such as the starry sky and the universe.”

And seems unwilling to lag behind,

The power sector, also in the same year, followed in September,

Announced the completion of the superconducting replacement of many main transmission lines in China's power network.

At the relevant press conference, the person in charge of the power department said,

The replacement of many main transmission lines that have been completed has significantly reduced the loss in the transmission process of previous electricity consumption.

Thereafter, the power department will continue to replace all main transmission lines in the country to achieve the goal of reducing transmission losses by more than 80% in the entire transmission line.

Finally, the communications department.

This year,

The communications department obtained the ninth-generation communications base station, which is a high-power wireless power transmission equipment, developed by the relevant team of Qiusuo Research Institute.

And in October that followed,

The communications department conducted its first pilot installation in a remote suburban location in the capital.

Previously, the wireless charging functions of some electronic devices were limited to each manufacturer’s own physical devices.

It was the first time I moved to a whole street, a whole block,

It did attract a lot of people who were interested and came to this pilot area to join in the fun.

"Did you see it? It's charged! I don't know how the Qiusuo Research Institute did it. It is said that the range of this single wireless charging must be very large, and the power transmission power must be large, but I don't feel anything more when I stand here. "

"I don't know how the power department will charge after this wireless power is fully covered. Civilian power can be free, but what will happen if industrial facilities steal power?"

The past 50 years have been spent in the changing world.

…

Then, 51 years.

This year, with the direct participation of Mo Dao,

The electric propulsion system in the aerospace field has ushered in the second improvement after the thrust-to-weight ratio became positive.

The Yuanhang 7c model was born.

It seems that after passing a critical difficulty with room temperature superconducting materials,

The research and development of electric propulsion systems has entered a stage of rapid development.

Before encountering the next material science dilemma, breakthroughs in thrust-to-weight ratio and load capacity continued to occur.

On the Yuanhang 7c,

The carrying capacity of a single Yuanhang 7c electric propulsion engine is only less than 50 kilograms higher than that of the Yuanhang 7b.

It will have a carrying capacity of 350 kilograms.

But in terms of size, compared to Yuanhang 7b, it has shrunk a lot.

This means that a spacecraft equipped with Yuanhang 7c engines can theoretically install more engines and increase the overall load capacity.

Even in the aerospace field research of Qiusuo Research Institute,

This is also a landmark electric propulsion engine model.

And what follows,

The Qiusuo Research Institute has indeed installed this electric propulsion engine on the spacecraft.

The Yuanhang 7c manned and cargo spacecraft named after the engine model was born.

The shape of this spaceship is completely different from that of a rocket-powered spacecraft.

It looks like only the top part of the rocket ship assembly is left, and then it is widened several times horizontally.

It shows a rounded top and a flat bottom, a 'very fat' cylindrical structure.

On the bottom, you can see the plasma jets of the electric propulsion engine.

The man-cargo spacecraft, which is equipped with a total of 18 electric propulsion engines, uses a lightweight material newly discovered by the materials research team in recent years, which further reduces the weight of the spacecraft itself.

The additional load capacity reaches 3 dens.

Sorry for the Yuanhang-6 rocket, there are still so few.

But after the birth of this spaceship,

The long-distance launch site owned by Qiusu Research Institute has entered another operating state.

The Yuanhang 7c spacecraft did not carry out any lunar landing mission.

Instead, they travel between the ground and near-Earth space platforms.

We launched in the morning and returned to the Changlu launch site in the evening.

The next day, after some routine maintenance, the working fluid was refilled, the power was replenished, and the aircraft was able to take off again.

When returning, they can often bring along two or three astronauts from the near-Earth space platform as well as some scientific research results and domestic waste produced by the near-Earth space platform.

It took a month to go back and forth between the ground and near-Earth space platforms before conducting a major overhaul.

After that, it was put into use again.

This kind of communication between the ground and the near-Earth space platform has almost become a routine shift.

Although the Yuanhang 7c spacecraft takes one month to launch, the carrying capacity is not as much as that of the Yuanhang 6 spacecraft.

However, the advantages brought by technological innovation are still reflected in the Yuanhang 7c spacecraft.

The carrying cost per kilogram of this dual-purpose spaceship for humans and cargo is far lower than that of the Yuanhang 6.
