Chapter 263 [Exciting days]

July 2020, 7, Riverfront Villas.

Early in the morning, when Qin Yuyan came to the dining table, Gu Cheng was already sitting there enjoying breakfast.

"Why did you eat mine too?" Qin Yuyan sat next to her and said angrily, and immediately asked Xiao Luo to drink another cup.

Gu Cheng was watching TV, but it was a news channel. Hearing this, he glanced back at the beauty, and said calmly, "Didn't you already eat milk not long ago?"

When Xiao Luo, who happened to be delivering food, heard this, she couldn't help thinking about it for a while. She was in charge of the work these two days. She didn't deliver milk to the bedroom this morning, nor did she last night. Besides, she couldn't drink overnight yes.

Is it wrong?
Xiao Luo left with confusion in her heart, but Qin Yuyan, who was sitting next to her, gave Gu Cheng a wink when she heard it.

At this time, a report on the TV news attracted Gu Cheng's attention.

[According to the Russian satellite network on July 7, a few days ago, the North American Space Exploration Technology Corporation (SpaceX) company broadcast the launch process live on its official website, and stated in the broadcast of the "Falcon 26" launch program that the launch vehicle " The Falcon 9 was launched from Florida on the 9th carrying the "Dragon" spacecraft to transport supplies to the International Space Station. ]
[It is reported that the launch of the "Falcon 9" rocket carrying the "Dragon" spacecraft was canceled due to weather on the 25th, and it was launched from the launch site of the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida on the 26th. The docking time of the spacecraft and the International Space Station is scheduled for today, and it has just successfully docked to complete the transportation and supply mission. ]
[The North American cargo spacecraft plans to transport about 2.5 tons of materials this time, including materials needed for dozens of scientific experiments. Other related experiments in the fields of medicine and biology. The Dragon cargo spacecraft will also deliver the International Model Docking Adapter (IDA-3), which is planned to be installed on the International Space Station. ]
Seeing the news, Gu Cheng couldn't help thinking to himself: "Forcibly renew the life of the International Space Station, something will happen sooner or later."

The original design service life of the International Space Station was strictly calculated, and it was planned to retire this year, but NASA forced the International Space Station to continue its life, repair and so on, and wanted to postpone the retirement of the space station until 2024. Recently, The Russian Space Agency conducted an evaluation through various data and found that the space station is in good condition, and all parties discussed and decided to postpone the decommissioning time to 2028.

There is no way, the International Space Station has been decommissioned, and only the Huaguo Tianzhou Space Station, which just came up this year, is left in space orbit. This is because Europe and the United States, especially North America, do not want to put down their faces and play with rabbits at that time.

"Just make a new one and send it up." Qin Yuyan, who was sitting next to her, said lazily. She was just talking casually, but she was not really interested.

"Building a space station is so easy for you to go shopping and buy luxury goods?" Gu Cheng couldn't laugh or cry, knowing that Qin Yuyan was not very interested in these things, he didn't bother to explain anything to her.

Leaving aside technical issues, building a space station is an astronomical investment from an economic point of view. The initial budget of the International Space Station was only 500 billion US dollars, but the operating costs of the space station exceeded the imagination of the 16 participating countries. As of this year At that time, the International Space Station had already spent more than 1700 billion U.S. dollars, which is undoubtedly an astronomical figure.

But having said that, it is said that it wants to continue until 2028, but no one can say how long it will last. The financial status of each country largely determines the life of the space station.

After breakfast, Gu Cheng drove to Tianqing Industry alone. Today, Meng Na didn't follow her, but planned to go shopping with Qin Yuyan.

……

Today is a very important day for the "Tianren Project", because today is the first thrust test of the light guide engine, and it has been sent to the test bed of the Aerospace Development Corporation yesterday.

It is worth mentioning that the light guide engine is not a traditional aerospace engine that burns chemical fuel, nor is it an ion propulsion engine, it "burns" photons.

Therefore, it needs the energy support from the light core.

The principle prototype of the light quantity core was built as early as mid-July, and it was secretly transported to the high altitude area in the west at the first time, and a large number of off-screen collectors were also secretly transported.

To put it simply, I went to the west to "light" a long time ago.

When Gu Cheng just arrived at Tianqing Industry, a train team just happened to drive into Tianqing Industrial Zone, and there was Zhou Huang in the team.

"How's the test of the electromagnetic rifle going?" Gu Cheng asked Zhou Huang when he saw Zhou Huang. This time Xiao Zhou and the others brought back the light cores by the way, and they were all in the western part of the country.

Zhou Huang: "All the tests have been done in the past few months, and everything is very ojbk."

Gu Cheng heard his last words and glanced at him: "Just use this tone to talk to the boss? Want to help auntie clean the toilet again, right?"

Hearing this, Xiao Zhou's face froze, and he quickly yelled, "Boss, I'm going to do statistical analysis of the data first, and I will report to you later, goodbye."

After leaving such a sentence, he resolutely fled in a hurry. Gu Chengnian thought about letting him go because he was about to be tanned in the past few months.

After a while, Gu Cheng noticed that several staff members were using a forklift to unload a packaged box from the truck and transport it to the "Tianren Project" research center, and walked over immediately.

"My God, can all of you ancestors be careful, this is an EMP equivalent to a super-large energy level, if there is a business trip, the entire business will be completely paralyzed!"

Just as Gu Cheng walked over, an old man standing next to him said with a beard and a stare. He seemed to be out of breath and in a hurry, and a group of young staff members were shocked, and they were all extremely careful.

There is a defense device in the light quantity core. Once damaged, 99% of the photon energy inside will be converted into electromagnetic pulses and radiated outward. This is to ensure the safety of human life, but it is not so friendly to electronic equipment, especially civilian electronic equipment. , and did not take measures to prevent electromagnetic pulses.

"Academician Li, it's not as exaggerated as you said, how can the light core be so weak." Gu Cheng said with a smile when he walked over.

"Hey, Mr. Gu." Academician Li turned his head to see Gu Cheng who came smiling, and said immediately after hearing him say, "Of course I know, but it's always right to be careful, and you must treat it with the spirit of spaceflight. "

"Haha, yes, by the way, Academician Li, how much energy did you collect this time?" Gu Cheng couldn't help asking.

"About 3 trillion joules, according to the peak energy storage of the light core, it is only 2%." Academician Li replied that the full energy storage can reach 150 trillion joules. What is the concept of 3 trillion joules of energy?It is equivalent to more than 80 kilowatt-hours of electricity.

Academician Li added: "There is no way, the time is too tight, the collection efficiency can't keep up, and only about 12% has been collected in 2 days and nights without interruption. The main reason is that the receiving surface of the light screen collection device is not large enough, and another On the surface, it is not the active period of solar flares, and high-energy gamma photons cannot be collected, if the light screen collection device is placed in the outer sky, it will already be full of energy."

Gu Cheng smiled and said: "Don't worry, Academician Li, one day it will be sent up, one step at a time, and it won't take too long, it will definitely be sent up, even if you can bear the charge for half a year and last for a day or two, I will I can't stand it."

"Haha... To be honest, I can't bear it." Academician Li laughed and said, shaking his spirits. Only if the Skyblade fighter is successfully built, it means that human beings have realized the manufacture of aerospace vehicles, and then they will make more. With large-tonnage space transport spacecraft, the cost of space activities is greatly reduced, and light screen acquisition devices can be sent to outer space on a large scale, forming a virtuous positive cycle.

This is indeed the foreseeable future, and Academician Li is also looking forward to the future.

"2% is indeed a little less, but it is enough for the light guide engine test run test." While speaking, Gu Cheng saw that the sealed box containing the light quantity core had been transported to the center of the Hangfa test platform by the staff, and stopped chatting, followed Head to the test bench together.

On the test bench, Professor Xu and the others had already waited until the flowers were gone. After the light core was delivered, everyone was refreshed and immediately started to arrange it.

Not surprisingly, the light guide engine is the most powerful fighter engine in human history.

Today is definitely an exciting day.
