NOVEL NEXT Chapter 635 Manned Spaceflight
After completing the first satellite launch in synchronous orbit, it can be said to be a major breakthrough for the space exploration of the Sun and Moon Empire. After having a fixed anchor point in space, the difficulty of future positioning will be greatly reduced. Next, we only need to launch two more satellites in synchronous orbits. Then the global positioning system can be initially structured.
Perhaps a real satellite navigation system requires a larger number of satellites, perhaps seventy-seven, perhaps more, but this is already a matter of time. The cost of launching satellites for the Sun and Moon Empire is much lower than that of the actual Earth. There is no need to consider the quality of the fuel itself, which is really a huge advantage.
So after the launch was successful, preparations for the next round of launches began in the second week. And this time, two satellites were launched at once. Complete the satellite architecture of geostationary orbit.
To some extent, their space development plans are quite radical. But from another perspective, this is also the result of the explosion of technology that has accumulated to a certain extent in a short period of time. With standardized lathes and simple chip technology, the Sun and Moon Empire's industrial capabilities are experiencing a rapid development. And in the process of this soaring development, many cutting-edge technologies have become popular.
In terms of technological level, the Empire of the Sun and Moon is actually no worse than the Earth in the 21st century. In many fields, it is beyond the reach of the people on Earth in the 21st century. However, their technology is limited to the hands of a few people and lacks effective utilization. This has resulted in maintaining a backward, medieval-like pattern. As long as this pattern is broken and productivity is released, their technology will develop in a leap-forward way.
It can be said that Lan Nuo was fully involved in the launch of the next two satellites. With his participation, both satellites were mounted on his Sunflower, and more precise mathematical tools were used to launch the satellites. After reaching a more accurate orbit, it saves a lot of trouble in adjusting the flight orbit.
"After the positioning of these three satellites is completed, the next task of our department is to launch people into space and return smoothly. At present, we are preparing to use the soul beast to conduct preliminary tests. After the soul beast enters space, its own soul power will be detected. "
Kong Lingshu is now the aerospace minister of the Sun-Moon Empire. Compared to the technical staff who had no real power at all, she is now even the minister of a popular department in the Sun-Moon Empire.
The power he holds in his hands can be said to be among the top few in the Sun and Moon Empire, but his performance has always been reassuring. He has always used the power in his hands to invest in scientific research and has never exceeded his authority. Engage in some political struggle or something like that.
It is this scientific research spirit that makes everyone willing. Technology development was carried out under his leadership, and after hearing that the next goal was manned spaceflight, everyone became excited. Launching satellites into the sky and launching people into the sky are completely two different things. Concept, if people can enter the sky, then can the thousands of stars in the sky also become their next destination? Are there other planets like the one they are on now? A prosperous and splendid life.
It is these curiosity about the future that drives them to move towards the future step by step and push technology to a higher peak step by step.
"What we are going to discuss next are some technical details. You should also realize that there is no soul power in space. In other words, the density of soul power is very small. The soul power of a baby bottle in outer space will increase rapidly. It is lost at a relatively fast rate. And if our human body is in a soul power vacuum environment, the soul power in the body will also be lost relatively quickly, and it cannot be replenished after use.
This is an urgent problem that needs to be solved after individuals enter space. Because we cannot be sure whether the loss of soul power will cause harm to the human body.
I have submitted relevant questions to the biology laboratory next door. They are trying to artificially create a soul power vacuum environment. And it was tested with primate soul beasts, and the current test results have been preliminary. Soul beasts that have been in a soul power vacuum environment for a long time will have their cultivation level dropped. Although the soul ring of a ten thousand year soul beast is still ten thousand years old, its own strength may even drop back to a thousand years, and this requires a long period of cultivation in an environment with abundant soul power to recover.
Next we need to go to space to verify this. and solve related problems.
That is, how can astronauts survive in space for a long time? Food and water were not difficult for us. Relying on space devices, we can carry a large amount of matter into space.
This is also the greatest significance of manned spaceflight. Rely on preset program. Although it is possible to open the space soul guide in space, the space facilities inside must be taken out. And assembly in space is impossible to do simply relying on our current chip technology and automation technology.
This complex work can only be done by humans. And what if humans could directly enter space and perform these complex operations. Then our space station construction will be carried out with extremely high efficiency. "
A technician in the audience raised his hand and asked: "If a soul master enters space and being an astronaut will lead to a decline in his own strength, why don't we choose ordinary people? As we all know, ordinary people are not completely without soul power. Most of them are Because their soul power is less than level one, they cannot practice. A considerable number of them have soul power of level 2 to 3. They don't need to worry about the decline of their strength in space, because they don't have it themselves. , isn’t he the most suitable astronaut?”
Kong Lingshu shook his head and said: "It's not enough to use ordinary people as astronauts. In an environment where the soul power is vacuum, if you want to open up the space, the soul power required for the soul guide is much greater than on the ground. , even if the soul power required to open the soul guide is very small, it is not something ordinary people can afford, but the idea you proposed is indeed feasible. Ordinary people will not suffer the backlash of the loss of soul power, so in the future space station Once the scale is large, one soul master can be specially dispatched as the controller of the space soul guide, and the rest can be dispatched in large numbers as ordinary people as engineers and technical guides to stay in space for a long time to maintain the operation of the space station. The soul masters are constantly rotated in the space station through the return capsule. In this way, the duty time of each soul master in space can be greatly shortened, and the cost of sending manpower to space can also be greatly reduced. "
This system immediately won the approval of almost everyone, after ordinary people also participated in the design of the soul guide. The status of ordinary people in the Sun and Moon Empire is improving rapidly, and the contribution that a person can make in society. It determines his social status to a considerable extent. The contribution a group can make in society is directly linked to the social status of this group.
Just like before the industrial revolution, women's status could not be equal to men, nor could they be equal to men. It was precisely because they could not occupy a dominant or even equal position in social production. Ordinary people were more inferior to soul masters. A large part of the reason for their low social status is this. Even if combat effectiveness is not considered, their average individual contribution to social production is less than that of a soul master. Of course, it does not mean that the social system was fair because the social status of ordinary people was relatively low in the past. Even in the current Sun and Moon Empire, the internal social system cannot be called fair.
But relatively speaking, in the scientific research world, the difference between ordinary people and soul masters can be considered minimal.
Therefore, the scientific researchers present were all in favor of a large number of ordinary people participating in the construction of outer space. However, the scientific researchers rarely considered political issues, so they did not think that doing so might affect the dominance of soul masters in the empire. Space The construction of China can be said to be an important weapon of the country. If ordinary people are allowed to control space-based weapons, will there be a rebellion? If a revolution breaks out among ordinary people on the ground, will ordinary people in space use the killer weapons in space to help them out of sympathy?
These are what the politicians and emperors of the Sun and Moon Empire need to consider. At least the current reality is that a large number of ordinary people must participate in the construction of space.
The next manned space flight will be carried out by ordinary people first. The honor of being the first to enter space will be given to a mortal without soul power.
This can be said to be quite rare in the history of the Sun and Moon Empire. But as far as the researchers present, this didn't seem to be surprising.
For the first time, an orangutan-like soul beast was selected for launch. Primates are the closest to humans, even if there are relatively big differences between soul beasts and humans. Under these conditions, orangutans were known to serve as experimental targets. The experimental data available can be said to be the most accurate. After many tests, the data was successfully fed back.
The longer it lasts after being launched into space, the longer the black star will be weak after a successful return.
And when he was in an environment without soul power for more than a month in space, his weakness had become completely unrecoverable. It will cause irreversible damage. Even if you return to the surface of the planet for training, your own strength will permanently regress.
"So the sealed environment in space must be solved. We must find a way to build an environment with abundant soul power in space to allow soul masters to rest. Otherwise, each soul master will spend the most time on duty in space. It should not take more than two weeks, and this puts a lot of pressure on us, because we definitely need to maintain more than one space station in space, and with multiple space stations, it is impossible to allow the soul master to be so fast. rotation, even if the cost of launching a rocket is not particularly high, it is almost equivalent to burning an eighth-level soul guide. If there are dozens or hundreds of space stations in the future, we really cannot afford to do this. Burnt.
And judging from the current development of the Sun and Moon Empire, the reserves of rare metals are also limited. If they continue to be mined as uncontrolled as they are now, the rare metals will definitely be exhausted in the future.
Since we have not yet explored other planets, it is difficult to determine whether there are rare metals on other planets. If not, we must cherish these resources on land from now on and be thrifty so that we can step into the starry sky. On other planets, relying on the resources of other planets, we can develop and prosper to the point where we can also step into the starry sky and replace our soul guides. "Kong Lingshu has even stood at the height of the future of mankind, which is much higher than those who put all their energy into political struggles or infighting on the continent.
The top leaders of the Sun-Moon Empire are obviously aware of these things. In recent years, the mining of rare metals has become much more restrained. And many restrictions have been imposed on the relevant mining departments.
The original violent mining has now been almost completely banned. Every mine must achieve a sufficiently high utilization rate before it is allowed to continue. Otherwise, the waste of resources is likely to trap the creatures on this planet forever on the surface of the planet.
This series of measures has a considerable impact on the Sun-Moon Empire. Even in a short period of time, under the condition of technological progress, the price of soul guides has increased significantly.
Of course, the impact on Douluo is still minimal. After all, apart from space soul guides, soul guides are rarely used there.
Even hidden weapons have a considerable living space in Douluo in this era.
The Sun-Moon Empire Scientists now look at the hidden weapons of Douluo with a very strange eye, because it can't be regarded as a subject at all, but only a very small branch of mechanics, and in this very small branch, the scope of application is limited to weapons. It can be said that the future development potential is almost equivalent to nothing, and it belongs to the type of debut and peak.
When the scientific researchers of the Sun and Moon Empire were worried about how to make soul masters survive for a long time in space, the relevant departments of materials science finally made a breakthrough. Through continuous testing of different rare metal combinations, they finally found a material that can be cheaply mass-produced to isolate soul power. This material is coated and covered on the inner wall of the spacecraft, which can greatly isolate the loss of soul power. After completing this isolation, it can be said that a relatively abundant soul power area can be created in space, and the soul master's relatively long-term survival in outer space has a basic guarantee.
