Chapter 450 Space Transportation Channel

Academician Zhu Bingwen and his team are happily celebrating after the success of the micro nuclear power plant.

Li Hao did not participate in their celebration, but left directly.

He didn't rush back to the scientific research building either, it was getting late now, and it was time for him to go home.

Li Hao returned home in the smart electric car he had called in advance.

When he returned home, he found that Zhou Yunsheng had fallen asleep.

Li Hao didn't bother, and asked the robot to cook a meal for himself. After teaching the puppy Beibei to read for a while, he went to rest.

On the morning of the 16th, Li Hao and Zhou Yunsheng came to the company.

They are on the road and have reached a consensus on the details of the establishment of the Smart Industry Group.

After Zhou Yunsheng came to the company, he started this plan.

She will first divest and integrate the manufacturing industry belonging to the original company, and then re-plan the organizational structure of the Intelligent Industry Group.

Li Hao sat on the boss chair, seemingly resting leisurely.

He actually sank his mind into the science and technology library. Through the artificial intelligence program, search for the technology he needs.

Technology libraries are now readily available, and artificial intelligence programs provide search engines. It is easier to choose technology.

Li Hao soon heard a knock on the door, and he exited the science and technology library. Open the door to the office.

This is definitely not Zhou Yunsheng's return, nor is it the company executive who came to report to Zhou Yunsheng.

As long as executives report to work, their approximate positions will be marked on the cloud intelligence platform.

Being able to come at this time, someone should have asked him to report to him.

I don't know if it's from the scientific research building or from the Space Exploration Group.

Li Hao saw a man walking towards his office with a folder in his hand.

He didn't even need to look at this person's face to know that it must be Ma Yiming, the general manager of the Universe Exploration Group.

Everyone has their own office habits, perhaps left over from previous careers.

Every time Ma Yiming reports to work, in addition to filling out the electronic document backup on the cloud intelligence platform. He has to bring a paper document over.

Li Hao directly invited Ma Yiming to sit opposite him, and asked him, Manager Ma, what work do you have to report to me?

Ma Yiming immediately reported: Mr. Li, I think the company's development strategy in the aerospace field should be changed.

In particular, the means of space transportation cannot be dominated by space shuttles. To establish a new space transportation channel.

Now the space shuttle is the easiest means of transportation. Manager Ma, tell me your opinion. Why do you deny it? Li Hao asked seriously.

Ma Yiming handed the folder in his hand to Li Hao.

He told his reasons: Mr. Li, I am not denying the contribution of the space shuttle.

Through this experience of transporting material to the moon. I just found out that the space shuttle has a big disadvantage.

That is, its payload capacity is too low and its cost per use is too high.

Especially the cost of fuel, water and CO2 needed for ion engines.

All of them are ion fuels made by a special process.

Although it is cheaper than chemical raw materials, it is also expensive to use frequently. Plus maintenance costs.

In addition to repeated use, the cargo capacity is relatively large, these advantages. It is not much different from the launch vehicle.

Mr. Li, you said that the aerospace industry should develop rapidly.

Every time the space shuttle is used, it needs to consume millions of dollars, which the company can afford at this stage.

This price is too expensive for frequent access to space in the future.

In particular, some substances have very low value in themselves. After being transported by the space shuttle, the transportation cost far exceeds its own value.

There is no way at this stage, and there is no cheap means of transportation at all. Li Hao said with a wave of his hand.

Pointing to the documents on the desk, Ma Yiming said respectfully: Mr. Li, I discussed in detail with the company's engineers and formed two plans for space transportation.

They are the Space Elevator Program and the Mass Accelerator Program.

Overall consideration should be given to my country's financial capacity and technical standards. Only one of these two plans can be implemented, and it is more difficult to manufacture a mass accelerator.

Li Hao first read the space elevator plan, and briefly looked at the content of the plan.

The above explanation is very detailed, if he hadn't read the science popularization of alien civilization. Will definitely choose this plan.

The space elevator plan will not be considered. Li Hao sternly refused.

Ma Yiming was stunned, and he said puzzledly: Mr. Li, why did you refuse directly?

Our company agrees that the space elevator program is simpler.

The synchronous orbit is 36,000 kilometers high, a hundred times the height of the International Space Station, and three times the diameter of the Earth.

We use special cables that only need ten kilograms per meter. Counting the counterweight and construction equipment, the total weight is only 400,000 tons.

To build a space elevator, the biggest difficulty is launching the payload into space.

With the space shuttle, this job can be easily done.

The technical difficulties encountered in building a space elevator have been overcome by various means.

Gravity from the moon and sun, as well as pressure from gusts of solar wind, would shake the cables.

The lack of bending resistance is the biggest crisis in space elevators before.

We have solved this problem through the two-way dynamic balance compensation system.

Another big killer that plagues the operation of space satellites is space junk.

It was gradually cleaned up by the space shuttle and will not affect the operation of the space elevator.

We are going to open the space elevator to the world, and it has some self-defense capabilities.

After the efforts of all parties, it will not be attacked by weapons from major countries in the world.

Building a space elevator is the most cost-effective solution. Mr. Li, you can't deny it just because of your preferences.

When Li Hao saw Ma Yiming talking eloquently, he finally looked anxious.

Knowing that Ma Yiming proposed these two plans, it must be that he has already prepared the space elevator plan, and the mass accelerator plan has not yet been fully prepared.

Li Hao waved his hand and said, Don't talk about its benefits.

I just want to ask a little bit, the space elevator, in the process of traveling to and from the ionosphere.

Do you know the consequences of multiple high-intensity cutting of the ionosphere?

Li Hao saw Ma Yiming standing on the spot blankly, knowing that he didn't even consider this situation.

He said directly: This will generate a huge current, but it will not affect anything in the space elevator.

It also changes the atmospheric content at high altitudes, especially for ozone. This method is even more dangerous than compounds such as Freon.

It will consume the ozone in the atmosphere in a short time, resulting in a hole in the ozone layer. lead to a huge ecological disaster.

Li Hao only said the reason that Ma Yiming could understand.

This cause is the least harmful type of consequence.

The biggest consequence is that after long-term use, it changes the electromagnetic field structure of the atmosphere.

If you suddenly encounter high-energy particles in the universe attack. It is likely to break through the defenses of the atmosphere.

It is recorded in the popular science materials of alien civilizations that there is a civilization that is very good at killing. They adopted this plan.

When encountering a natural disaster in the universe, it will directly lose its protection, leading to the extinction of civilization.

According to the records of extraterrestrial civilizations, most of the initial civilizations were born on planets with atmospheres.

It is because on the time scale of the universe, various natural disasters will occur from time to time.

Some civilizations were born too short to experience the horror of these natural disasters. But that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

On a planet without the protection of an atmosphere, it is difficult to give birth to traces of civilization.

It is because of these planets that they encounter various natural disasters in the universe from time to time.

Even if some civilizations have great potential, as long as they cannot effectively block the attack of cosmic particles.

This civilization will soon die, and there will be no chance to grow up. Li Hao didn't want human civilization to become like this.

Just like the North American continent, there are no tall mountains running across the east and west.

It is extremely prone to disastrous weather, which is a fatal threat to farming civilization.

In ancient times, this land could not breed farming civilization at all.

The great development of agriculture is to enter the era of industrialization and use technology to overcome natural disasters.

Hearing Li Hao's reprimand, Ma Yiming was no longer as energetic as when he came in.

He asked in a weak tone: Mr. Li, take a look at the mass accelerator and see if there are any fatal hidden dangers in it.
