From University Lecturer to Chief Academician

The take-off and landing test of the light pressure engine was conducted in the afternoon.

At the same time, it was predawn night in Amerikon and early morning in Europe.

Both Amerikan and Europe took many photos of experimental tests through various types of satellites, and also watched the second half of the engine takeoff and landing test from a satellite perspective.

Looking at the take-off and landing process of the light pressure engine from a satellite perspective, affected by the reflection of sunlight and the strong light source below the engine, the gray-white engine in the air becomes very blurry, and only an outline can be roughly seen.

The most obvious thing is the strong light beam below.

The personnel at the satellite center were able to determine from the strong light beam that the engine used 'light pressure thrust'. "Look at the thermal data. High heat of more than 6,500 degrees Celsius was measured under the big guy."

"The temperature is so high?"

"Isn't that high? I've read some reports that it takes a temperature of over 50,000 degrees Celsius to generate enough thrust..."

"6500 degrees Celsius is quite high!"

"Don't read any reports. They are not researching engines. What is happening now is real."

Everyone else fell silent.

Although it is not the tens of thousands of degrees Celsius mentioned in the report, it is very amazing to exceed 6,500 degrees Celsius.

What is the concept of 6500 degrees Celsius?

The temperature of the sun's surface is only 5,000 degrees Celsius.

Before the emergence of first-order materials, it was recognized that the substance with the highest melting point was hafnium alloy, the molecule was Ta4HfC5, and the melting point temperature was 4215 degrees Celsius.

In other words, five thousand degrees Celsius can melt all matter.

Just from the temperature data, you can tell how amazing the technological content of the light pressure engine is, and it even makes the personnel at the satellite center despair.

They discussed with shock, "I feel that in the future, technology will still depend on flower growers, not other countries. It is far behind."

"Yeah, there's no hope at all."

"America always talks about catching up, catching up, and the new decision-maker also talks about overtaking in a corner. At first, he said he would research antimatter technology, but it turned out that it doesn't exist at all. It's so funny."

"It's incomparable, it's incomparable. The technological level is so different. Now that I see this big guy... who can research it? This is alien technology!"

"It seems that it's not something the earth can do..."

"Not even for another 100 years!"

"Stop talking so much, let's report the information. This is our job."

…

Amrican's No. 1 decision-maker learned the news in the morning. He had just opened his eyes when he heard that "the light pressure engine has completed the take-off and landing test."

The No. 1 decision-maker was confused for a moment, "What engine? What test?"

"Light pressure engine! That research by the flower grower and Aerospace Industry Company..."

Decision-maker No. 1 was stunned for a long time before finally reacting. He opened his mouth in surprise and asked, "Is today April Fool's Day?"

"What I said is true."

"I guess that's your job today..."

The No. 1 decision-maker still thinks it is a joke, because in his mind, the so-called 'light pressure engine' project is the research and development of future technology.

This kind of future technology research and development project is just like the nuclear fusion research decades ago. Even if the project is started and invested, everyone knows that it is just accumulating technology and is not really about creating a controllable nuclear weapon. fusion.

Now it is said that the light pressure engine has completed the take-off and landing test?

This is simply impossible!

The No. 1 decision-maker had always been very determined until he saw satellite images and data and intelligence information sent by several agencies.

"This is actually true!"

Before he could do anything, he received a call from decision-makers in other countries. The content of the call was naturally related to the light pressure engine.

The reaction of every decision-maker was similar. At first they didn't believe it, but later they were shocked when they believed it, and then they had to deal with related matters.

They need to react to this.

The light pressure engine project is considered to be a future technology research and development content, but now it can actually fly, which to a certain extent represents the success of the research.

Flying is the first and most important step.

If a large engine can fly, it means it can escape the gravity of the earth, and it will be able to fly at high altitude very quickly.

After completing the high-altitude flight, the next step is to fly in space.

For light pressure power, there is no technical bottleneck that is difficult to overcome, because light pressure power does not rely on air thrust and reduces the gravitational effect of the earth in space, but the effect will be more obvious.

The light pressure engine can fly, which means that more than 80% of the problems have been solved.

The next step, and the next technological advancement after that, is only a matter of time. The only difference is the length of time.

Many decision-makers also accepted this fact, and they immediately started busy work. One was to discuss relevant matters with the team behind them, and the other was to continuously communicate with decision-makers in other countries and express their views on related issues. , exchange opinions.

Then there is an internal meeting.

This kind of internal meeting has nothing to do with decision-making, but is of a technological and academic nature. Basically, it involves finding a lot of scientists and scholars to let them understand the existing intelligence and analyze the technical information.

Amerikan does this; many other countries do this as well.

They must first know more information, know what level the light pressure engine technology is, and the related technical levels, so that they can research countermeasures.

But the initial discussion pattern was basically the same, and the first reaction of scholars and scientists to the information given was also "impossible."

"This is simply impossible."

"The light pressure engine is a future technology, and now it can only verify theoretical issues at best."

"Having only done part of the research is already impressive. Taking off and landing? Are you kidding me?"

"Is this fake news?"

"Although there are satellite images, could it be a magic show? For example, they made a model and then let the model fly into the air..."

The last statement was directly rejected, because the big engine can be faked, and the take-off and landing scenes can also be faked, but the high temperature monitored by the thermal satellite cannot be faked.

Under the engine taking off, a high temperature of more than 6,500 degrees Celsius was indeed detected.

At this temperature, everything will melt and insulation is pointless.

In addition to the maximum temperature response at the lower side of the engine, there are also thermal sensible temperature data on the ground, and the radiation covers a large range.

Energy cannot be faked.

The scientists analyzed with shock, "If it is confirmed to be true, the outlet below the engine is at 6500 degrees Celsius. Theoretically, the internal temperature should be between 2000 and 5000 degrees Celsius."

"We don't know the technical principles and can only speculate from an energy perspective."

"It is impossible at this temperature to create strong light pressure at the original theoretical level. Either the original theory is wrong, or they have adopted a completely new theoretical technology that reduces the temperature requirements."

"In addition, it has been proven that annihilation particle technology is indeed very similar to the reaction of antimatter and antimatter cancellation. They both create pure energy, to be precise, it is light energy."

"Also, it is certain that their insulation materials can withstand temperatures exceeding 7,000 degrees Celsius..."

"Another possibility is that they just experimented with the technology, but after one experiment, a lot of material was damaged."

The last sentence gave the decision-makers a little relief.

They don't want high-end aerospace engines like future technology to appear in flower growers.

If florists can really build a spacecraft with a light pressure engine as its thrust, they will be completely defeated in the field of space competition, and they will not even have a chance to compete at all.

This is unacceptable.

The competition for space represents the future of national competition in multiple fields.

Once we have the initiative in the space field, we will have comprehensive military and technological advantages. When technology reaches a certain level, no matter how high-end technology on the ground becomes, it will become meaningless.

This is like the absolute superiority of the air over the ground a hundred years ago.

Countries without fighter jets have no way to deal with fighter jets flying in the air. All they can do is hide and avoid them.

At that time, it was only the lowest-end, unprotected fighter jet.

If it were a modern high-end fighter jet, it would have been able to run rampant a hundred years ago and destroy whatever target it wanted to destroy.

This is the case with the current light pressure engine. Compared with the spacecraft supported by the light pressure engine, the space technology they master can be described as a "hundred-year-old fighter jet", which can be regarded as a "praise".

Because their space technology can only enable devices to rise into space.

The spacecraft manufactured by the light pressure engine can be self-sufficient in energy and can sail freely in space. At the same time, it can carry a large number of people, be equipped with high-tech weapon systems, and can even sail across planets.

How does this compare?

Thinking about it, I feel very desperate.

"The research has only just begun and is still far from completion..."

"It must be so!"

Many decision-makers can only think this way because they find there is no way to deal with it.

Today's flower growers have mastered a lot of high-end technologies, and have surpassed Amrikan in the military to a certain extent to become the world's number one. Unless they fight a war of destruction with the idea of ​​​​human extinction, they can only watch from a distance.

Even simple sanctions cannot do it.

Because the flower growers have the most high-end technology and a complete industrial system, they can sanction other countries. It is good that other countries are not sanctioned.

For example, Amrican.

If flower growers restrict the export of first-level materials, many areas of American will be affected, especially high-end manufacturing, which will quickly decline to the bottom, and the market will be seized by other countries.

In the end, discussions at a series of meetings only came to the conclusion that "the light pressure engine adopts new theoretical technology and has achieved certain success" and "the first-order material technology mastered by flower growers is likely to exceed imagination."

…

Light pressure engine experimental base.

After the submission test, the light pressure engine shut down all devices and conducted a series of external inspections. The detailed inspections will last for several days, including inspection of the internal materials of the concave reflector cabin.

The project team will also conduct very detailed inspections of each device.

These will become valuable data.

The take-off and landing test of the light pressure engine was successful without any major problems during the test.

A simple celebration party was also held inside the base.

At the celebration party, Wang Hao immediately made a promise, "Success belongs to everyone."

"Next month, a bonus will be given to everyone, so everyone can share this joy!"

From the beginning of the project to the present, no large-scale bonuses have been distributed in the experimental base. Now that Wang Hao has directly mentioned that bonuses will be given to everyone, everyone is looking forward to it, and some people have begun to ask about the amount of bonuses.

This is an uncertain question.

Wang Hao still needs to discuss with other people to make a decision.

Those ‘old people’ who were from the annihilation force field experimental group or who were doing research with Wang Hao all said with certainty, “The bonuses are huge!”

"Academician Wang is never stingy in this regard, and you must know that our research is not short of money."

Not only is there no shortage of money, but there is too much money to spend.

When the Spacecraft Industrial Company was first established, it raised as much as 140 billion flower coins. So far, 115 billion flower coins have been spent, with less than 25 billion left.

25 billion, put into the research and development of spacecraft, can only make a splash.

However, the major shareholders of Spaceship Industry include Annihilation Technology Company and Annihilation Field Experiment Group. Annihilation Technology Company is the fastest-making company in the world. Annihilation Field Experiment Group is even richer than Annihilation Technology Company. They You can get 20% of the profit directly, because it is used for research and development, and you don’t have to pay taxes, and you can spend it all.

Additionally, their first takeoff and landing test was a success.

This is very important.

The ultra-large light pressure engine has achieved the most important take-off, and there is no need to worry about funding issues in the future. As long as you ask for "financing", many large companies will immediately be willing to invest money.

Light pressure engine is a high-end technology that supports the manufacturing of spacecraft in the future.

If the research can be completed, it means that humans can get out of the earth, and the company will have too many growth points. In the early days of the company's establishment, Wang Hao declared that the future business would be "manned spaceflight", "planetary resource mining", etc.

With the advent of large-scale spacecraft, everything can be achieved.

These represent infinite space for development.

Even if it's just a 'gamble' opportunity, as long as there is hope of success, the value can easily exceed one trillion.

So there is no need to worry about funding.

Encouraged by the large bonuses, all researchers and engineers at the project base, as well as ordinary workers and security personnel, became more enthusiastic and active about their work.

While holding the celebration party, the official website of the Spacecraft Industry Company also released information on the upcoming successful test as planned--

"At 3:20 in the afternoon, the light pressure engine conducted its first take-off and landing test experiment.

During the test, the engine completed its first take-off and hovered at 230 meters in the air for 21 minutes and 37 seconds. The electronic system and balance system were tested during the test. After that, the engine landed at the take-off point as planned.

The take-off and landing test of the light pressure engine was a complete success!

This is the first takeoff and landing test since the company established the light pressure engine project. The test plays a very critical role in improving various systems inside the engine...

In the future, the project team will continue to improve the light pressure engine according to the original plan and prepare for the next high-altitude flight test experiment. "

One stone stirs up a thousand waves!

Decision-makers in many countries are still discussing whether to release information, because they believe that releasing information has no benefit. It can only show that the technology of flower growers is powerful and increase the deterrent power of flower growers in the field of science and technology.

Now they don't have to hesitate.

In fact, Wang Hao and others had no intention of keeping the information secret, let alone a large light pressure engine, even if it was just a fighter jet undergoing a test flight, they could not hide it at all.

Such a huge light pressure engine is monitored closely by satellites from various countries.

In addition, the area around the project base is not an uninhabited land. They have designated a military control zone of more than ten kilometers, covering hundreds of square kilometers, including more than thirty villages and towns, and the nearby villages and towns have been resettled.

There were no arrangements for those farther away. I was worried that it would be affected before the experiment, so I gave advance notice.

These people all knew the news in advance.

Some brave people simply climbed to the top of the mountain to take pictures, which resulted in many photos on the Internet and aroused public opinion.

In this case, keeping the engine take-off and landing tests secret is no different from hiding one's ears.

So just publish it publicly.

When the news about Spacecraft Industries was released, it immediately aroused significant public attention, and the previous gossip was also verified to be true.

Many people started discussing excitedly, "A big guy with a diameter of 120 meters can actually fly?"

"It's really a light pressure engine!"

"At first I thought the spaceship company was just a gimmick. I didn't expect that it could really develop such high-end technology. It's amazing!"

"There is a video where the engine takes off very slowly and slowly floats into the air..."

"That's amazing. It is said that the engine weighs more than 10,000 tons, and that size is like an aircraft carrier flying."

"It's so shocking!"

Domestic public opinion quickly affected foreign countries, which naturally caused shock, "It's actually true!"

"Do flower growers already have such high-end technology? It seems that they are not far away from manufacturing a spaceship."

“How come I don’t know about this company?”

"Because our media never reports, they only report negative news with filters. This is not a joke. I just read a report saying that the light pressure engine produces a lot of heat, which will accelerate global warming... …”

"I also saw it, and said that research will bring about the crisis of human destruction..."

"No matter what they say, in short, the flower growers have developed such high-end technology that can make big things weighing more than 10,000 tons fly into the air. However, the aircraft carrier we have been studying for decades is still parked in the port and motionless... …”

"The gap is too big!"
