Dreaming about space

Chapter 7 Moon and Earth Throw
Remembering the first things that happened was the fundamental reason why Fang Yuan worked so hard and tried so hard to hide the identity of Miracle Baby.

Everyone at the orphanage, from the director to the child care workers, told Fang Yuan that his parents were the most proud students of Chief Designer Liang Tian.

He also planned some future growth paths for him, most of which were related to aerospace.

Everyone felt that with this relationship with Liang Tian, ​​Fang Yuan's future development would have unlimited possibilities.

I don’t know if they really think so, or if they think that a three-year-old child doesn’t understand anything.

At the age of 14, Fang Yuan was admitted to his parents' alma mater, and his tutor was an associate professor named Lan Zhuyi.

Lan Zhuyi is a student of Fang’s father, Fang Xinyang, from undergraduate to postdoctoral fellow.

After leaving the postdoctoral position, he came to the materials laboratory of Academician Fang Xinyang as an associate researcher.

Lan Zhuyi is a core member of Bingyang High Performance Materials Laboratory.

An associate researcher is equivalent to an associate professor.

According to the normal process, even if Lan Zhuyi is not an academician now, he is still a professor and doctoral supervisor.

Twenty years have passed, and Lan Zhuyi has studied teaching. To his surprise, he has not even removed the adverb in front of his professional title.

He can be regarded as one of the least enterprising tutors in the school.

It was already time to retire early.

Suddenly, he felt like a different person. He had to take care of a brainless student.

Although Fang Yuan didn't have a brain, he was down to earth and passed the entrance exam at the age of 14.

There are more than one or two mentors who want to guide Fang Yuan.

In order to get Fang Yuan under her name, Lan Zhuyi spent extraordinary efforts.

In Fang Yuan's view, Lan Zhuyi missed Academician Fang Xinyang much more than he, the son of a human being.

This is understandable.

After all, Fang Yuan had never even seen his father's face.

Lan Zhuyi was a postdoctoral fellow trained by Academician Fang Xinyang from his undergraduate studies, and then stayed in the laboratory.

If the accident 20 years ago had not happened, if everything had gone according to plan...

Fang Yuan had a laboratory version of the brain group.

There is a high probability that Lan Zhuyi has become an academician.

It is also possible to abandon literature and engage in business and accumulate wealth that ordinary people cannot imagine.

Fang Xinyang leads the transportation of materials and extraterrestrial energy.

In the long history, human transportation methods, from ground transportation, to air transportation, to space transportation, have been progressive step by step.

People have long been accustomed to mining resources from the moon, refining them nearby, and then continuously transporting the resources back to the earth through launch vehicles, spaceships, starships, etc.

Some people have even tried the possibility of a space elevator like that in science fiction works, but without success.

If a space elevator could really be built, the cost of maintenance would be staggering.

Combining his two main research directions, Academician Fang Xinyang put forward a very bold hypothesis.

Suppose there is a high-strength material that can withstand the friction of the earth's atmosphere, so that the objects wrapped in it will not burn out due to excessive heat in the atmosphere like meteorites.

So, is it possible to put the refined helium-1 in such a high-strength material, and use the fact that the moon's gravity is only 6/[-] of the earth's to eject it directly from the moon to the earth in the form of a trebuchet?

The first step is to throw it from the moon and break away from the moon's gravity; the second step is to capture it in the earth's atmosphere and enter the earth's gravitational environment.

Fang Xinyang's idea was very subversive of human cognition when it was first proposed.

Fang Xinyang's proposal, to put it simply, is to throw the helium-[-] energy ball out on the moon and catch the energy ball directly on the earth.

Fang Xinyang is a top scientist in the fields of materials and energy transportation.

He didn't care how crazy others thought it was, or how many experts and scholars were criticizing it at the time.

With the members of the Helium [-] Throwing Laboratory, including Lan Zhuyi, they worked hard and proved the feasibility of the plan step by step through scientific experiments again and again.

Going to the moon for field testing is the last step in the helium-[-] throwing plan.

After this test is completed, the earth-to-moon energy transportation channel will be completely subverted.

It will be more than just academic success.

Even more will be the success of this new patented material.

Behind the patents are huge economic benefits.

The cost of transporting helium-1 energy from the moon to the earth will become less than [-]% of the original cost.

Assuming that this plan is successful, Academician Fang Xinyang's current status will definitely not be lower than that of Chief Designer Liang Tian.

Every one of the main members of the Earth-Moon Throwing Laboratory who does research with Fang Xinyang will gain both fame and fortune.

Lan Zhuyi did not do these studies for money. She really felt that she was participating in a research project that would change the world.

If it hadn't been for the high-altitude disintegration on February 2050, 2, even if Lan Zhuyi had not become an academician like her mentor, she would still have been a leader in a specific discipline.

It is absolutely impossible for the professor to have an assistant in front of him like now.

Lan Zhuyi may not care about money and interests, but she can't help but care that all her years of hard work have been wasted.

Academician Fang Xinyang passed away in the most tragic space disaster for mankind. Everyone in the laboratory was personally trained by Academician Fang Xinyang.

These people, like Fang Xinyang, have been working hard for ten years to subvert the earth-moon energy transportation channel.

Fang Xinyang's death must have caused heavy losses to the laboratory, but the Moon-Earth Energy Throwing Laboratory did not shut down because of this.

There will certainly be a period of chaos and leaderlessness.

At this time, as long as a highly respected person comes out to take charge.

For example, Academician Fang Xinyang’s mentor and the chief architect of the human immigration plan to Mars.

As long as there are such people, they are willing to bring a little bit of help.

Or, even just to find some follow-up investment for the laboratory.

The plan to project energy to the moon and earth, which was only the last step away from the original plan, can be delayed for at most one year, but it will definitely be realized.

After attending the funerals of Fang Xinyang and Dai Bingyan, Lan Zhuyi went directly to find his "master".

She was full of expectations.

In the end, Liang Tian not only failed to help, but also took the lead in shutting down the laboratory.

He also very kindly arranged non-experimental teaching jobs for Lan Zhuyi and his group.

Once the moon-to-earth energy transfer plan was cancelled, energy transportation between the moon and the earth has continued to use the original transportation channel of the lunar base.

The person who controls this channel is called Liang Xinqu.

The word "Liang" in "Liang Tian" and the word "channel" in the middle have three gold characters.

This man is the grandson of Chief Designer Liang Tian and Liang Xinghuo's biological father.

It was this person who made the final decision to bring Liang Xinglan back to Earth, leaving Liang Xinghuo alone.

Lan Zhuyi watched helplessly as the laboratory was shut down.The plan to throw the moon to the earth, which was about to succeed, was in vain.

She resisted, appealed, complained...

She did everything she could.

It also failed to change the result.

Lan Zhuyi naturally has a lot of resentment towards Chief Designer Liang Tian.

But she also has evidence to prove that everything she said is true.

The first time he heard someone from the Commercial Space Administration mention Liang Tian, ​​Fang Yuan just used the sentence "Old Man Liang", which was really very restrained.

Having such a life experience, hearing such cruel words, and meeting such a mentor again...

Just a punch without directly attacking him is enough to be a gentleman.

The Milky Way was about to arrive at the Mars relay station, and Liang Tian talked a lot to himself.

There were only two sentences, and they sounded true to Fang Yuan:

【"Everyone says I am selfless."】

[“But I never thought that the person left on Mars in the end would be my own great-granddaughter.”]

Liang Tian is definitely not a selfless person.

Fang Yuan had personally experienced how the chief architect of the human immigration plan to Mars benefited himself and his family.

Fang Yuan really couldn't believe that someone like Liang Tian could be so kind.

……

"Xiao Fangyuan, when we arrive at the Mars relay station later, the Galaxy Ship will be completely under your control."

"I will let the solar system digital simulation system issue a preset calculation result."

"This result will show that if I take a living person like you with me on the subsequent journey to the galaxy."

"It is impossible for the Galaxy Ship to fly out of the solar system."

"With such a result, my choice to enter the freezing chamber at the relay station will become meaningless."

"The only thing that might change the outcome of this failure is to abandon the Galaxy Ship."

"Let the cryogenic capsule take the seed bank and all the energy and fly out of the solar system at extreme speed."

"Only by traveling lightly and lightly can we ensure that the cryogenic capsule will still have enough energy to operate after it leaves the solar system, preserving the possibility of finding the unknown other side of the galaxy."

Fang Yuan was still stuck in his previous emotions. After hearing Liang Tian say so much in one breath, he finally remembered to answer: "So, you prepared a fake calculation result in advance and planned to announce it at the relay station later. ?”

"No, the calculation result that is about to be announced is real. The set of data I used for the Galaxy Proximity Project is different."

Liang Tian is a leader in the field of deep space exploration.

The reason why he became the chief architect of the human immigration plan to Mars is because of two main achievements, both of which can be regarded as subdivisions of deep space exploration.

The first subdivision is called extraterrestrial atmospheric modification.

If humans want to immigrate to alien planets, of course they can bring life support supplies such as oxygen bottles.

But it is definitely unrealistic to bring everything from the earth.

There is definitely no problem in bringing them over to build a test base at the beginning, but relying on the earth for supplies forever is definitely not a long-term solution.

Except for satellites that are very close to the moon, if humans want to immigrate to any planet in the solar system, the first thing they need to change is the atmosphere. The right to breathe is the foundation for human survival.

Deep space exploration scientists who focus on this direction will look particularly like climate experts in the eyes of outsiders.

The second subdivision is the pioneering research of Chief Designer Liang Tian - the solar system digital simulation system. 【1】

Digital and analog are all concepts that have been familiar to people since the beginning of the 21st century. They sound like very ancient things. Until 2070, they will still be the most cutting-edge technology for all mankind.

Digitally simulating the solar system is not simply to establish a picture system of the solar system, but to accurately calculate the crustal movement, magnetic field changes, and future trends of all planets in the solar system.

This is an extremely terrible calculation.

Think about the 2020s, how much computing power will be needed to accurately predict an earthquake?
That's just an earthquake, just the earth.

Making such a prediction model for the entire solar system is something that most people dare not even think about.

"You submitted a set of false data to the Galaxy Proximity Project? Then you used this false plan to publish a recruitment notice that will never come back."

"Yes, you are still very smart, little baby."

Liang Tian admitted it without hesitation.

The expression on his face was that of a child, quite proud.

"Why did you do that?"

Fang Yuan always knew that Liang Tian was not a good person.

First there are the words heard in the orphanage, and then there are so many evidences given by the instructor.

One by one, the facts are before our eyes.

But he never thought that Liang Tian could be so bad.

"Because, if I give a set of real data, this plan will not be implemented. They are willing to let me start such a journey alone."

"And you use this to take away a willing young man?"

"No, no matter who comes with me, I will let him stay on Mars. Choosing you is just a matter of course."

"Do I deserve to be unlucky?"

"You are quite unlucky. After seeing your application, I realized that you still want to come to Mars after you become an adult. I should visit you again when you become an adult."

Fang Yuan was a little dizzy. What was he talking about?
Compared with the previous grievances, Fang Yuan wanted to understand the current situation more: "Since the entire Galaxy Proximity Project is based on a false data model, what is your purpose of doing this?"

"Little doll, didn't I just tell you? I want to personally implement the plan I designed." Liang Tian raised his hand, wanting to touch Fang Yuan's head lovingly. "I cannot always let my disciples and disciples pay for plans that are not necessarily reasonable."

　Before writing this book, Sci-Fi Xiaomengxin went to interview the person in charge of the Deep Space Exploration Laboratory of the University of Science and Technology of China.

　　Piao Piao asked a very outrageous question: "Are there any deep space exploration projects related to the future? It is huge, huge and difficult, but every layman can understand it at first glance."

　　Professor Zhao thought for a while: "Then there is probably only a digital solar system. That is a system that I may not be able to complete in my lifetime."

　　Piaopiao wants to ask Professor Zhao for science fiction.

　　Professor Zhao said that what he was doing was science, not science fiction.

　　Science fiction is about imagination, while science is about constant assumptions and calculations.

　　Science fiction can be made into blockbusters, but science is just boring calculations.

　　Perhaps, every scientist who is committed to promoting the development of human society must be a person who can endure loneliness.

　　Tribute to every scientist.
