Who said I was a military factory?I sue you for slander!

Chapter 377 A Brand New Beginning!Mars landed.

"Then, I will start working in the branch. Currently, Chen Ze is still managing the Light Sail project. Originally, aerodynamics is what you are good at."

"Then, several professors of optics, you must be the core personnel of laser technology."

The division of labor in the team is very clear, and everyone is responsible for their own positions.

Ye Fei watched with great satisfaction as Huo Dekai was coordinating the work of the entire team.

This also relieved Ye Fei a lot.

After some setbacks and hard work, the team was finally formed.

This team of experts from different fields officially started working on the laser matrix.

Ye Fei took them to the new laboratory, which is full of optical laboratory equipment, and encouraged them to work hard to achieve this grand goal together.

Halfway through the experiment, the team discovered that there was a technical problem between the laser matrix and the light sail thruster, which caused Huo Dekai a lot of headaches.Huo Dekai thought again and again, and reported the results of the first phase of the experiment to him.

In Ye Fei's office.

Ye Fei took Huo Dekai's experiment report.

"Yo! So fast?"

"It seems that your leadership team is quite good!"

But Ye Fei frowned when he saw it.

"This is an academic problem." Ye Fei whispered to himself, "We need to find a solution."

Huo Dekai said briefly.

"Our experimental results found that the laser matrix can be used to provide light sources to propel the light sail. However, the laser matrix itself cannot enhance the power of the light sail propeller." Huo Dekai made a brief summary of the experimental results.

"Light sail propulsion is a technology that uses the momentum of photons to propel a spacecraft. Its principle is to reflect photons from sunlight or other light sources onto the light sail, and use the momentum of the photons to propel the light sail and the spacecraft."

"A laser matrix can be used to provide a light source, such as using a matrix of multiple laser diodes to generate a high-intensity laser beam to provide photon momentum. However, the laser matrix itself does not enhance the power of the light sail thruster, because it only provides The power of the light sail propeller depends on the momentum of the photon and the area of ​​the light sail."

"Therefore, the laser matrix can be used in light sail thrusters, but it only provides a light source, rather than directly enhancing the power of light sail thrusters."

"This is really tricky." Ye Fei frowned, "We need to find a way to solve this problem."

"Does the laser matrix need to be redesigned?" Moy tried to give a solution.

"We have to re-examine our laser matrix design and determine what changes should be made." Ye Fei is now thinking more seriously.

"We need to adopt more advanced laser technology, such as high-energy and high-efficiency pulsed lasers. This can effectively enhance the power of the light sail propulsion." Huo Dekai also provided his insights.

"This idea is quite worth a try." Ye Fei is very satisfied with Huo Dekai's suggestion, "We can use pulsed lasers to complete the experiment and carry out the next step of research."

Huo Dekai returned to the laboratory, took a deep breath, and began to organize a team to study high-efficiency pulsed lasers.After two months of unremitting efforts, they finally succeeded in developing a high-energy pulsed laser, which effectively improved the power of the light sail propulsion.

During these two months, Huo Dekai and his team members have made great efforts.The purpose of this research is to address the inability of laser matrices to directly enhance light sail propulsion.

They had to design a high-efficiency pulsed laser to deliver greater photon momentum.

This requires thinking in terms of spectrum and energy input, and performing a series of complex calculations and simulations.

The team did not have a clear idea of ​​the research direction at the beginning, and many experiments and attempts were needed.During the research process, they must debug power supply, laser emission lines, lighting systems, wavelength modulation, optical fiber devices, and optical instruments.

They performed a lot of calculations, fabrication and experiments.

During the experiments, they refined the theory step by step.They used computer simulation methods to accurately calculate the reflectivity, transmittance, energy loss and other parameters of the pulsed laser, and optimized the longitudinal mode of the laser to improve the electro-optical conversion efficiency.

However, the experimental process is full of uncertainties and emergencies.

During one experiment, the laser failed, so they had to redesign it, replace parts, and rewrite the underlying software to improve the laser.

They even kept the noise in the lab to a minimum to ensure better experimental results.

Under the optimized laser emission system, the error tolerance rate of the experimental data gradually increased, and more stable data were obtained after repeated experiments.Through simulations and practical experiments, they determined the most ideal laser wavelength and parameters.

They used this wavelength to tune the lab's auxiliary fiber optic device and successfully delivered the laser beam to the light sail thruster, and finally successfully enhanced the power of the light sail thruster.

This process shows the tediousness and hardship of scientific research, but it also shows the indomitable spirit and determination of scientists and engineers to forge ahead.After two months of hard work, the team has achieved good results.

At this moment, they can finally breathe a sigh of relief, feel proud and confident about their success.

All the efforts are worth it. They successfully solved a problem that was once considered insurmountable and made a significant contribution to the development of science and technology.

With the unremitting efforts of Huo Dekai and his team, a high-efficiency pulsed laser was finally successfully developed.

And Ye Fei has been paying attention to the light sail propulsion in Mars orbit.

Lightsail thrusters were able to successfully reach Mars.

Huo Dekai naturally didn't have time to take care of the village.

It was Ye Fei's turn to take over the next task.

He received all the information sent back by the light sail thruster, including the power of Mars, wet and dry, climate and other information.

He spent some time analyzing the data in detail and planning future space exploration based on the results.He made a detailed consideration and comparison of the characteristics of the environment, gas composition, and earth similarity on Mars.The following is the data compiled by Ye Fei for the team:

Power data
After the light sail thruster flew, when Ye Fei received the returned data, he was quickly attracted by one of the data.That is, the energy accumulated by the light sail propeller during flight, the source of this energy is generated by the light sail propeller using laser light to illuminate the light sail.Now, he observed that the energy accumulation of the light sail thrusters was less than expected, which surprised him.He wants to reanalyze the data to find problems and solutions.

wet and dry data
Another aspect is the wet and dry climate of Mars.According to the data sent back by the probe, the surface of Mars is relatively dry, and the surface moisture content is relatively low.However, whether there are groundwater resources and whether there is a suitable living environment for life remains to be further explored and studied.

climate data

Ye Fei noticed that the climate of Mars is different from that of Earth.The atmosphere on the surface of Mars is much thinner than that of Earth, and the main component is carbon dioxide, without oxygen, which makes it more challenging to conduct human activities on Mars.In winter, temperatures can drop as low as -153°C, so there are limits to the rover's ability to operate.In addition, the wind speed on Mars is also strong, which will also cause certain damage to the protrusions.

Specifically, the impact on subsequent exploration and development work is very far-reaching.
