Galactic Tech Empire

Chapter 237 Negotiation
Ten o'clock on January 2019, 1.

In the large conference room of the Yinhe Technology 2017 Building, researchers in groups of three or four were exchanging enthusiastically, when suddenly they were interrupted by a burst of microphones.

Wang Tu, the person in charge of the Vacuum Engineering Institute, acted as the temporary host, and he tapped the microphone:

"Boom! Boom! Please return to your seats, the meeting will begin immediately!"

After a while, everyone took their seats, and Huang Junjie also came to the podium.

Huang Haojie looked around at the crowd and said slowly:
"I called everyone during my busy schedule, mainly the quality projection system engineering, which has entered the practical stage. Now everyone can click on the holographic projection on the table, and the overall design of the quality projection system inside is the next question."

Everyone below quickly clicked on the holographic display, and a thumbnail model appeared in front of them.

"The mass projection system project will be divided into the mass projector part, the vacuum pipeline part, the annular airship part, the supercomputing center part, the storage power station part, the bottom atmosphere monitoring part, and the projection spacecraft part." Huang Haojie continued.

As soon as he finished speaking, the logos of various parts appeared in the thumbnail model in front of everyone.

Li Zhongting clicked on the part of the vacuum pipe, and the part of the vacuum pipe was immediately enlarged, and some detailed information was displayed beside it.

［真空管道部分：缆绳状态直径8厘米，真空激发状态直径96米；对流层段（长度12公里）、平流层一段（长度12公里）、平流层二段（长度12公里）、平流层三段……平流层四段，总长度60公里……12公里长度缆绳的重量约为48.32吨。］
[The magnetic vacuum film composite carbon nanotube cable costs about 4 Wah per meter, and the total cost of the 60-kilometer length is about 24 billion Wah. ]
[Two superconducting high-voltage cables attached to the vacuum pipeline, the diameter of the cable is 1.8 centimeters, the single line weighs about 12 tons for 4 kilometers, and the total weight of two 60 kilometers is about 40 tons, of which the normal temperature superconductor content is 95%...]
Li Zhongting immediately figured out that the price of Yinhe Technology's normal-temperature superconductor is 5000 million Chinese yuan per ton, and about 40 tons is 20 billion Chinese yuan. In addition, the cables must be made of high-strength carbon nanotube composites. It is estimated that the cost of two high-voltage cables is about About 30 billion Chinese yuan.

There are other things in the vacuum pipeline. It is estimated that the total cost of the 60-kilometer vacuum pipeline should be around 60 billion Chinese yuan.

Of course, taking into account the sharing of research and development costs and construction costs, as well as profits, the price is at least around 200 billion Chinese yuan.

On the stage, Huang Haojie continued to introduce the situation of each department:
"In the entire system, the remaining problems are the interference of the vacuum pipeline by atmospheric movement, the design of the projection spacecraft, and the overload of the astronauts. These three major problems require the full support of the space agency. I wonder if Mr. Zhao has any problems?"

Hearing Huang Haojie's question, Zhao Hongxing nodded: "The space agency will definitely do its best to overcome the problem with Yinhe Technology."

"That's good. In addition, after projecting the spacecraft into outer space, we want to use the Beidou system and the space agency's outer space database." Huang Haojie continued.

"No problem!" Zhao Hongxing hastily assured her.

Huang Haojie and the others continued to discuss some matters. Whether it was the researchers of Yinhe Technology or the experts of the space agency, they all expressed their opinions and ideas.

"Mr. Huang, ask a question!" Wang Guanghai stood up and asked.

"Academician Wang, please sit down and talk."

"How to solve the exit of the vacuum pipe? If it is completely sealed, how will the projection spacecraft get out? If it is not sealed, the air will be poured in quickly." Wang Guanghai sat down and asked.

Huang Haojie explained: "I have also thought about several solutions to this problem. The first is to seal the door and open the door when the projection spacecraft is about to arrive. Of course, this method is not perfect. The strong atmospheric pressure may instantly Crush the door, if the door is too thick, you have to consider the load of the ring-shaped airship."

Wang Guanghai nodded: "The warehouse door plan is not very practical. Even if the warehouse door can withstand the atmospheric pressure, timing is definitely a problem. The ship may be destroyed by one second."

"The second plan is a one-time magnetic vacuum film. On the exit at 60 kilometers, a magnetic vacuum film is covered. This magnetic vacuum film needs to weaken the frontal stress, just like a balloon that can burst when it is stabbed, so that the projectile spacecraft can penetrate the membrane."

When everyone present heard this plan, they began to discuss it in whispers.

Disposable film? Wang Guanghai bit his pen and thought.

"There is no problem with this!" Li Xiang from the Materials Research Institute stood up and said:

"Because the film is in a vacuum excited state, the side facing the atmosphere itself is under enormous pressure. As long as you prick it with a sharp needle, the entire film structure will produce a chain reaction and collapse."

After listening to Li Xiang's explanation, everyone thought about it and nodded in agreement.

"If this is the case, wouldn't it be very dangerous if a bird or the like hits the vacuum pipe?" Wang Guanghai asked another question.

Huang Haojie explained with a smile:
"There is indeed this possibility! But don't worry too much, the first vacuum pipe is in an excited state, those currents will make birds feel scared, and the potential energy of the second bird in flight is not enough to break through the vacuum pipe. relative motion."

Wang Guanghai nodded: "I suggest adding some sound wave equipment to repel birds. After all, at the moment when the vacuum tube is excited, if a bird happens to fly over, there may be a relative movement. It's better to take precautions."

"Academician Wang is right. Then install some sound wave equipment near the bottom vacuum pipe to drive away the birds." Huang Haojie adopted this opinion.

Li Zhongting also stood up and said:
"I saw that the diameter of the vacuum pipeline is 8 cm in the cable state. In this state, the atmospheric interference factor can be ignored; but in the excited state, the diameter and height are 96 meters. We want to come up with a more reasonable plan, otherwise it will Big trouble."

"Choosing the right weather can reduce some interference." Wang Guanghai suggested.

Huang Haojie shook his head: "This plan won't work. In our plan, the quality projection system will run for a long time. It can't be the same as getting married and seeing your life!"

"Haha..." Everyone suddenly laughed.

The serious atmosphere was diluted by laughter, and it took a while for everyone to continue discussing this issue.

"Boss, it's better to increase or increase the weight of the airship at an altitude of 12 kilometers in the troposphere. After all, the troposphere is the area where the atmospheric movement is most disturbed." Wang Tu, the head of the Vacuum Engineering Institute, suggested.

Huang Haojie thought for a while: "This can be considered. Increasing the number of ring-shaped airships should have the effect of wind dampers, but how many ring-type airships need to be added is open to discussion."

"The Institute of Aerodynamics of our space agency may be able to help!" Zhao Hongxing interjected.

Since the space agency is willing to take charge of this issue, Huang Haojie can't wait for it, and immediately agreed:

"Then this problem will be jointly tackled by the Aerodynamics Research Institute of the space agency and the Atmospheric Motion Research Institute of Yinhe Technology."

"We will arrange this matter as soon as we go back." Zhao Hongxing said while taking notes.

Various problems were brought up for discussion. With the collective wisdom and efforts, many problems have been solved.

Although I don't know if the plan will work, but having a direction is better than bumping around like a headless chicken.
