Inventory of the heavens: start to shock from shining Tiga

Chapter 173 Ladder plan
After the insignificant compliments and complicated procedures, a small book covered with expensive leather was handed over to Yun Tianming.

"Your star!" Dr. He said with a smile.

Yun Tianming opened the small book, looked at some uncomplicated but exquisite property rights information on it, and then closed the book.

"Thank you."

Dr. He looked at Yun Tianming curiously: "May I ask, are you planning to give this star to a girl?"

Seeing Yun Tianming nodding his head, Dr. He said with emotion: "What a lucky girl."

[Marvel World, Tony Stark pretended not to see Pepper's enthusiastic eyes.

But in the end I was defeated: "Okay, I will try my best, but if it is a civilized planet, I will not use it as a gift for you! This is trampling and unfair to another civilization!"

"Of course I won't be that irrational, my dear. I didn't ask for it for myself, but as a gift for Morgan. You still have almost 20 years left, so I don't think it will be difficult for you." Pepper said: "But with such a romantic father, I'm really worried about Morgan's future. Will she look down on all men?"

"Not the best..." Tony Stark muttered.

Little Pepper: "What did you say?"

"It's nothing." Tony Stark rubbed his nose: "After the inventory is over, I will ask Thor to ask, and there are no suitable targets for the nearby stars."]

"Okay, the certificate of ownership, we will mail it to the address you gave as soon as possible. As you wish, we will not disclose your information..." Dr. He said: "In fact, there is nothing to disclose, after all, I am right now As far as you know, you only know that your surname is Yun, don't you?"

Yun Tianming asked, "Can I go and see that star?"

"Of course!" Dr. He replied: "But we can't see it in the city center. We have to go to the suburbs. It would be better if there is an observatory. But the road will be a bit bumpy. Why don't you take a rest and find a suitable time go again?"

Shaking his head, Yun Tianming said: "I don't have much time, and I feel good now, how about leaving now?"

After driving for two hours, it was already dark. Yun Tianming did not choose to go to the observatory in the suburbs. After all, what he bought was the stars that could be seen directly with the naked eye.

After talking with Dr. He in the field in the suburbs for a long time, Yun Tianming looked at the star with gentle eyes.

"I'm about to die..." Yun Tianming said.

Dr. He was silent for a while: "But I am luckier than many people. Many people spend their whole lives just looking at the world in front of them, but your eyes are almost 300 years away."

Time passed quickly, and the date of Yun Tianming's euthanasia was getting closer and closer.

Tomorrow is a day of peace and happiness, Yun Tianming typed some words on the memo on the phone:
When Cheng Xin saw this star, I was no longer alive.But in fact, the light of the star we see now came from about 300 years ago, when he and Cheng Xin didn't exist...

And when Cheng Xin could really see the light that this star was emitting at this moment, it had been 300 years... She was no longer alive...

Cheng Xin, what kind of life will you live?I hope you can remember that in the vast sea of ​​stars, there is a star that belongs to you...

【Three-Body World, the flight from Mingzhu to the Imperial Capital is already at the end of the journey.

The bodyguard in black breathed a sigh of relief, at least he didn't have to take unforeseen risks to carry out violent activities on the plane.

But Cheng Xin still didn't realize that she seemed to be the crumbs of the heavens, she just looked at the pale Yun Tianming on the screen with hazy eyes. 】

As soon as the picture changed, there were many people of various skin colors sitting in a conference room.

Obviously, judging from the classification of participants and some flags and logos, this is a very serious international conference.

Although this meeting room looks very simple.

After a yellow race participant talked for a long time with some clichéd nonsense, a Caucasian man who looked very difficult to get along with said casually: "Other people can leave, and the technical ones stay for another meeting. "

Soon, although a few chairs were vacant, the still somewhat crowded meeting room became empty as a large number of people left.

And one of them, a beautiful Asian woman, was Cheng Xin who was already on the landing stage of the plane.

【Cheng Xin realized something was wrong when she saw herself on the screen. After thinking of the titles of the first scene, she looked back at the bodyguard who seemed nothing had happened, but always made her feel a little dangerous.

But... why did I become the crumbs of the heavens?I... am not very kind? 】

After the heavy door of the meeting room was closed, he didn't look like a good person. The middle-aged caucasian man with the words "Director: Thomas Vader" on the nameplate in front of him said, "Everyone, Strategic Intelligence Directorate of the Planetary Defense Council, That is, the PIA we formed is going to launch a probe to the Trisolaran Fleet!"

As soon as Thomas Vader said this, the rest of the dozen or so people in the conference room were basically whispering to each other, obviously not understanding or even laughing at his plan.

"What are the specific indicators?" The man with "Mikhail Vadim" written on the sign in front of him said with a strong Russian accent.He was the only one with a calm face.

Thomas Vader put away the foolishness on his face before, and said seriously: "I have discussed privately with the representatives of the Planetary Defense Council. Although many indicators have not been settled, there is a consensus on one thing, that is, It’s about making the detector 1% faster than the speed of light.”

"You mean, it takes two to three hundred years for the probe to encounter the Trisolaran fleet?" A participant from NASA frowned: "Is what you said can only be done in the future?"

Thomas Vader hammered the table hard: "Sophon has locked our technology, and it is hard to say whether we will be able to achieve that kind of technology in the future! It is precisely because our current speed is very slow that we must start as early as possible! "

"But according to our speed, it will take tens of thousands of years to reach the destination, but the Trisolarans only need 400 years to reach our doorstep!" said the NASA representative.

Thomas Vader hammered the table again: "We have resources! Times have changed! In the past, Aerospace was making money at a loss, but now Aerospace has the best human and material resources! Use resources and use barbarian methods to achieve our goals! Use resources to change the principle!"

"Pfft..." Vadim didn't hold back his laugh: "I don't intend to offend, Mr. Director, it's really...don't say that in public... It's impossible to use resources to change the principle."

Thomas Vader said indifferently: "You are already mocking and offending me."

Pointing at Cheng Xin, Thomas Wade said, "She's the only one who didn't laugh at me, Cheng, do you have any thoughts?"

Cheng Xin was a little confused, and after pointing to herself, she said helplessly, "If we bypass the principle... the most powerful resource we can use now should be nuclear bombs. My idea is that if there is no technological breakthrough in the short term , use a huge energy body like a nuclear bomb to continuously explode in space, and push a probe or spacecraft to accelerate, theoretically it should be able to reach [-]% of the speed of light!"

Cheng Xin's words were quickly ridiculed by the participants just like Thomas Vader: "You should calculate the power-to-weight ratio!" "It's really a cartoon-like idea." "The principle has not changed, but you, a beauty, have achieved barbarism. "

Regardless of the ridicule from future colleagues, Cheng Xin looked at Thomas Vader and said, "Nuclear bombs are not installed on the spaceship, and the spaceship is only composed of radiation-powered sails as the main body. Following the pre-set nuclear bombs, they explode one by one. , accelerating in a vacuum.”

Cheng Xin looked at the representatives who fell silent: "Use the traditional method to arrange the nuclear bomb on the detector's route in advance, and whenever the detector reaches a suitable position, it will detonate a nuclear bomb, which can theoretically reach one percent of the speed of light! "

[I have to say that although many worlds have guessed that Cheng Xin is the shavings of the heavens, they have to admit that her method is very constructive. In theory, if she invests resources regardless of resources, she can indeed achieve that goal.

As a result, many scientific worlds have begun to use supercomputers to calculate such interstellar travel methods.

If it is feasible... Then the nuclear restrictions will probably be lifted. In a short time, the production of nuclear bombs will start again until the supply can be stabilized on the route.

There are not many ambitious plans to go directly to another galaxy, but intended as a method of accelerated travel to nearby planets such as the moon and Mars.

Helium III on the moon is a precious resource, but it is difficult to transport, and such a nuclear bomb propulsion method can at least speed up the transportation of the spacecraft.

The route to Mars is even simpler. Even if it is a window period, it will take several months to go to Mars. With nuclear bombs propelled, maybe the time in the non-window period can be shortened to within a few months. The window period may only take a dozen days. Acceleration and deceleration are enough!

Especially in the world of interstellar travel, some nuclear weapons that are not easy to deal with will usher in a second spring. They will be arranged on the route to the Saturn wormhole. As an insurance method for the race continuation plan, the fire plan will continue to be implemented Using the nuclear bomb propulsion method, the one-way trip calculated in years may be shortened by one year. The saved spaceship fuel can be used as navigation insurance, or it can be replaced with other materials and equipment by reducing the weight of this part! 】

[China Sun World, Zhuang Yu, who has successfully bid for the China Sun project, touched his chin.

Another golden bird? 】

"Does anyone have any ideas?" Thomas Vader looked around, but after everyone was silent, Thomas Vader said: "We will have two more meetings in the future to see if you have any other methods... Now, our first proposal needs a name!"

"Every time a nuclear bomb is detonated, the speed of the detector will increase." Vadim said: "It's like a person constantly stepping up the ladder, why not call it a ladder plan!"

Seeing that no one objected to his name, Vadim continued: "After talking about the name, let's talk about the detector itself. After all, the quality of the detector also affects the final speed."

"According to the current level of technology..." A strong man with a thick Maozi accent like Vadim said: "The quality of the radiation sail will be very light, with an area of ​​[-] square kilometers, but the weight is almost [-] kg. Logically speaking, this area is enough!"

An expert who has participated in the design of famous spacecraft in the same body in many worlds said: "The big head is the probe itself, counting various antennas and equipment that transmits signals back to the earth... almost two or three tons."

"No way!" Vadim shook his head: "It's too heavy, it must be as light as a feather... Keep the detection function to a minimum, about a ton!"

Thomas Vader squinted his eyes: "Not yet, a little further to the left, the probe and the radiation sail together weigh a ton, and it should be possible to push a one-ton probe with the power of all human beings!"

The screens were constantly switching, and every member of the Strategic Intelligence Bureau of the Planetary Defense Council was busy in the next few days.

But the hustle these days is paying off.

At another meeting, Cheng Xin reported: "The good news is that the Planetary Defense Council has helped us improve the plan, and calculated that only 25 square kilometers of radiation sails are needed to achieve the effect, and there are some materials. With progress, the weight of the radiation sail can be reduced to twenty kilograms."

"And then the bad news," Vadim added: "According to predictions, to reach one percent of the speed of light, the weight of the probe would have to be reduced to two hundred kilograms! And the mass of the probe itself would be only 180 kg without the mass of the solar sail. kg!"

Thomas Vader was expressionless: "Don't be depressed, because I have a worse news here."

After a pause, Thomas Vader continued: "The ladder plan has been rejected."
