Chapter 370 The bottleneck of the experiment.

The Mars team began experimenting with the lightsail propulsion system by building a lightsail and installing it on a small model spacecraft.They placed the model spacecraft in a vacuum chamber and used lasers to simulate sunlight hitting the light sail.

After the experiment began, the team observed the model spacecraft begin to move forward.They measured the speed and acceleration of the spacecraft using a laser and recorded the experimental data.

"It appears our lightsail propulsion system is feasible," said a team member.

The professor next to him said: "But we need to further optimize the system to improve the propulsion efficiency."

Next, the team began optimizing the lightsail propulsion system.

They experimented with making light sails out of different materials, and tested light sails of different shapes and sizes.

"We need to find the best light sail material and shape to improve propulsion efficiency."

They also experimented with using different light sources and light intensities to simulate sunlight hitting the light sail.

"We need to find the most suitable light source and light intensity to improve propulsion efficiency."

During the experiment, the team encountered some problems.

They found that the material and shape of the light sail had a big impact on propulsion.

They also found that the surface of the light sail needs to be very smooth, otherwise it will affect the propulsion effect.

In addition, the light sail propulsion system requires very precise control, otherwise it will affect the direction and speed of the spacecraft.

"We need to find the optimal light sail surface treatment method and develop a precise control system to improve propulsion efficiency."

The team continues to experiment and refine the lightsail propulsion system.

They used state-of-the-art materials and technologies to create an optimized light sail and develop a precise control system.

However, even though they were full of hope for the experiment, the announced results of each experiment made people feel extremely depressed.

"The light sail doesn't seem to work," said a young scientist, looking at the results of the experiment.

"What?! This result is useless at all!" A member of the team said in disbelief.

"We need to find out where the problem is," another scientist said grimly.

The whole experiment process is very simple, ascend from the space station to the target position, and then release the light sail until it is successfully loaded.

However, there was a problem, the driving force of the light sail was obviously not enough, and the experimental results did not show the expected effect at all.

Why is this so?
To find this problem, the team repeated the troubleshooting over and over again in the experiment.

After a long night and numerous failures, they found the answer: the reflective effect was disappointing due to a problem with the reflective material used.

They are inches,
One month later, Ye Fei will come to inspect their results.

When Ye Fei saw the result of the experiment, frustration and regret appeared on his face, because he knew that the result was not what he expected.

Ye Fei carefully read the experiment report of the Mars team and checked the light sail propulsion system, the power is very small.

He knows that such a result is a major challenge for his own team.

But he didn't say anything disparaging about his team, instead he encouraged them to keep going.

"I know this result is not satisfactory, but I believe that you have put in a lot of hard work to achieve this goal. Please don't give up. Persevere, there will always be a day when you succeed."

Ye Fei's words made the Mars team feel that they were really taken seriously.

They knew that Ye Fei was not only a visionary scientist, but also a broad-minded and compassionate leader.

They have a deep respect and trust for Ye Fei.

Ye Fei called Huo Dekai, one of the core heroes, into the office.

"Professor Huo, come with me."

Come to the office.

Huo Dekai showed guilt. He believed that all the faults were caused by himself.

Ye Fei didn't blame him, but asked Huo Dekai if he could show him his theoretical paper.

Huo Dekai fell into contemplation for a while, and then he seemed to remember something, "Yes, I do have some experimental records and data. I also found some new solutions that can increase the thrust to a certain extent. I am sure that as long as we follow my If you do it with your own ideas, you will definitely get better results.”

Ye Fei didn't speak, but read the paper along.

Soon, he saw the problem: "The propulsion of the light sail is directly related to the quality of the reflective material used."

This question surprised Huo Dekai.

He thought about his entanglement through theoretical calculations and experiments, but he still couldn't find the answer.

Unexpectedly, Ye Fei's insight was more refined than his.

"This is a very interesting thing. When the reflective material is made, we must conduct in-depth research to find the corresponding relationship. This can help us get better performance and results in future experiments."

Ye Fei's words made Huo Dekai sigh.

He thinks that his boss is indeed his ideal leader because he trusts others and is always committed to finding new innovations and technological improvements.

This is the quality that a leader who pays great attention to details and constantly strives for breakthroughs should possess.

But Huo Dekai didn't agree with Ye Fei at all in his field of expertise.

But at present, the two are arguing endlessly over the fact that the propulsion of the light sail is directly related to the quality of the reflective material used.

"I think that using laser beam propulsion can help us get more thrust." Hodkai said with half-closed eyes, full of confidence.

"Wrong, Huo Dekai. We need to reduce the mass of the solar sail propeller as the first element. Only in this way can we develop a system that can actually be applied to the Mars rover." Ye Fei retorted.

"That's your opinion, but mine is just as valid. You need to understand that the laser beam can provide more thrust without sacrificing weight. It's a very good solution."

"I don't deny the advantages of laser beam propulsion. But you shouldn't ignore the weight of the thruster. We need to minimize that to be able to develop a Mars rover. It's more practical."

Ye Fei and Huo Dekai have been arguing endlessly academically.

They all have different philosophies and concepts, but they all share the same goal: to improve the efficiency and thrust of the light sail propulsion system.

"I understand that your consideration of the weight of the thruster is very important. But I think that if we blindly reduce the mass of the thruster, it may cause more problems for the probe." Huo Dekai is very convincing.

"It's a legitimate concern, but we need to find an optimal solution. If we don't consider the weight of the thruster, we may face many unnecessary problems. This is a weight that we cannot afford."

The dialogue between the two is like a passionate duel academically, their thinking collides and breeds more questions and answers.Although their opinions are not exactly the same, they are all working hard and dedicating to scientific exploration.

In the end, Huo Dekai had no choice but to listen to Ye Fei's opinion first and complete the experimental work of reducing the mass.

"Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Ye. Your suggestion will definitely be of great help to our next work."

When Huo Dekai walked out of the office, he still had a little resentment.
