Black tech predators

Chapter 294 [Weather weapon? 】

"Project All Stars" is a long-term project with a time span of more than 20 years. Even Gu Cheng cannot achieve it overnight. If it is replaced by someone else, it will not be more than 20 years, it may be more than 200 years, and it may not be successful.

For any core technology application under Tianqing Technology to be placed in other scientific research institutions or R&D units, it will take at least a ten-year cycle to start.

To realize such a grand space project, it is necessary to make the best use of the situation and adapt to local conditions. This is a big battle, and it is impossible to settle the world in one battle. Only the strategy of accumulating small victories and finally turning into big victories can achieve the final overall victory.

Gu Cheng is now focusing on the project on the back of the moon, taking it step by step, and others are also making progress, but the progress is only slow, and it will inevitably involve dealing with the US emperor.

The starting point for realizing the project on the back of the moon is to build a Skyblade spaceship and Xiaoqing's mechanical variant. Before these two points can be achieved, Gu Cheng has to ensure the production capacity and deployment of the Skyblade fighter.

There are indeed many and complicated things. No wonder Gu Cheng rejected the invitation of the Plasma Research Institute. He is busy with his own affairs, but Gu Cheng has a very clear logic on what to do and when.

……

At the end of February, Tianqing Industrial Center.

"After the test flight of the Tianren fighter jet, all the data has been processed. I think it can be confirmed that the model is officially in service. Everything is perfect. The only imperfection is that she is too perfect." Professor Xu joked.

At this moment, Gu Cheng and Professor Xu are sitting in a lounge of the R&D center. According to the design requirements, the service life of the Tianren fighter is about 50000 flight hours, but the flying mission of the Tianren fighter is much longer than that of traditional fighters. Many, such as last year's space rescue mission.

Even so, the theoretical service time of a Skyblade fighter can be pushed to about 45 years, and then structural life extension is required, and it can be extended for another 25 years. The service life of fighter jets is over 200 years.

According to the maintenance tasks set in the design plan, each Tianren fighter will undergo a major overhaul every 12 years. Despite the small size of the Tianren, the amount of maintenance is very large.

According to the test flight and space rescue mission at the end of last year, the cost of flying the Tianren fighter jet for one hour is about RMB 226 million, which is really calculated by the second.

This is the result of the huge cost caused by the inefficient collection of light quantum by the light screen collection device on the ground. After the light screen collection device is installed in space in the future, the cost will be reduced by more than ten times.

"There is a new requirement from above, that the Skyblade Fighter should have the ability to be immune to high-energy laser weapons." Gu Chengru said.

"Immune to the high-energy laser?" Professor Xu looked at Gu Cheng curiously.

"Yes, the military is worried that the Skyblade fighter will face the threat of space-based high-energy laser weapons in North America. As far as I know, the space-based kinetic energy weapons led by United Technologies Corporation in North America have indeed been dismissed, but Lockheed Martin took it back. When it came to the North American Department of Defense’s huge allocation of more than 1000 billion U.S. dollars, and they only dismissed the kinetic energy weapon system, but not the space-based platform.” Gu Cheng nodded and said.

When talking about this, Gu Cheng couldn't help laughing. All the signs showed that the little girl Vera dug a huge hole for her old club, and everyone in the village jumped into it.

From now on, if you face the Skyblade fighter, Laomei's high-energy laser weapon, fight, charge the opponent, and you will be beaten if you don't fight.

Professor Xu thought for a while and couldn't help but said: "This shouldn't be difficult. We can apply the light screen receiving principle to the structure. Not only can the Skyblade fighter be immune to the high-energy laser weapon, but it can also receive this energy for my use. It kills two birds with one stone." Isn't it beautiful?"

After speaking, Professor Xu looked at Gu Cheng, who also smiled, took out a data disk from his pocket and gave it to him, nodded and said, "Mr. After completing the structural adjustment design, the models in service will follow this."

Professor Xu took his data disk, was quite surprised, and then smiled: "I didn't expect you to have already solved the solution, the efficiency is really high."

Now there is no doubt about Gu Cheng.

Putting the data disk away carefully, Professor Xu said with a thought: "I have an immature idea recently, which is related to the 'Stars Project'. Can you see if it can also be used at the Lagrangian point between the sun and the earth?" Install a super-giant light screen device? It doesn’t need to be too big, I’ve calculated that it only needs to reach 2% of the receiving surface on the Lagrangian point of Venus.”

Gu Cheng looked at Professor Xu with curiosity, and said concisely: "What do you want?"

Professor Xu said frankly: "The super-giant light screen device can intervene in planetary-level energy, so it can control the climate. This device on the earth does not need to control the entire global atmospheric movement like Venus, so it does not need to be very large. The reason for this temporary The idea is because I am worried about the current global climate anomalies."

"Like the typhoon around the coast of our country, it is now more than 15 at every turn, and it is commonplace to be above 16. If we have this device, we can easily control meteorological activities and meteorological disasters. Not only can we eliminate the super typhoon before it lands It also includes the artificial intervention of rainfall in arid areas and rainfall in flooded areas. The Amazon rainforest fire burned for more than a month in the fall of the previous year. It was shocking. It was the 'lungs of the earth'. The entire planetary atmosphere was a huge chaos. system, the impact is global."

Speaking of this, Professor Xu couldn't help sighing, this is the feeling that a scientist should have. In fact, many scientists around the world have shown concern about the deterioration of the earth's environment. Professor Xu hopes to use this to reduce the entropy of the earth. Take it into the cosmic space, thereby indirectly reducing the entropy of the earth.

It is worth mentioning that, according to the laws of thermodynamics, entropy can only increase but not decrease. However, if the system is expanded to the scale of the solar system and then reduced to the local scale of the earth, it is possible to achieve local entropy reduction.

To put it simply, it is to take out the increased entropy in this place of the earth and throw it to other places, and the earth will come down relatively, but it is still a process of increasing entropy overall.

After a while, Gu Cheng looked at Professor Xu and said: "Mr. Xu, your starting point is good, for the sake of all mankind, but in reality, if you want to put a light screen device on the sun-earth system, you will inevitably be punished by the whole world." Especially the fierce opposition from North American authorities."

Professor Xu was puzzled: "Why? This is a good thing? We can also help Americans eliminate hurricanes and tornadoes."

Gu Cheng shook his head and laughed, and said lightly: "In your eyes, it is a good thing, but in the eyes of those authorities in Europe and the United States, it is a bad thing, and the bad thing can't be worse, because their first instinct is not to define it as an improvement. It is a device for the earth's environment, but a weather weapon. This is undeniable. In turn, it is a weather weapon. The Big Ivan hydrogen bomb with a 5000 million-ton TNT equivalent can't see the taillights in front of it. The most terrifying planet-level weapon system, Mr. Xu, do you think the Americans will obstruct it if they know about it?"

Hearing this, Professor Xu was dumbfounded, and when he came back to his senses, he smiled wryly and shook his head again and again, lamenting that sometimes technical problems are not the fundamental problem.

He knew that what Gu Cheng said was not an exaggeration at all. Even with only 2% of the receiving surface of the Venus light screen device, the energy intensity that can be intervened within one day of the earth is equivalent to the sun shining on the earth for 12 hours. Solar radiation energy, if there is no intuitive concept for the description of the energy intensity of this magnitude, then it is equivalent to the energy of 1.35 million Hiroshima atomic bomb explosions.

"But having said that, this light screen device is also going to be done, and it must be done."

Gu Cheng said so suddenly, making Professor Xu look at him blankly, and Gu Cheng added with a smile: "The reason is also very simple. We will vigorously support whatever the US imperialists try their best to oppose. The more we oppose, the more necessary it is."

Professor Xu was stunned for a while: "This..."
