From University Lecturer to Chief Academician

When a major problem occurs in a research project, or even causes a major accident, resulting in huge casualties and property losses, during the subsequent processing, the responsibility will definitely be traced to the person in charge of the project.

However, the person in charge of the light pressure engine project is Wang Hao, and the situation becomes different.

Wang Hao's personal influence is too great.

His research has led the development of cutting-edge science and technology, allowing flower growers to rank first in the world in technology, and has also driven the development of economic, military and other fields.

Today's flower growers continue to maintain a rapid economic growth of more than eight points every year. They have a huge economic volume and a very strong performance. They are also favored by the whole world.

The flower grower has a leading position in many technological fields, and its outstanding performance is in various industries driven by first-order materials, which even cover areas of civilian life such as automobiles, mobile phones, and televisions.

Large companies from other countries are also rushing to invest. They hope to obtain more high-end materials through investment and manufacture higher-end products so as not to be eliminated by the international market.

Wang Hao represents the future of science and technology. His personal prestige, contribution to the country, and even to the development of human science and technology are too great.

The light pressure engine project is very important, but it is only a high-end technological research field. Even if problems occur midway and cause heavy losses, the project will be suspended at most.

Because the project has made some progress, it will definitely be restarted in the future after summarizing the failure experience.

At that time, Wang Hao will still be in charge of the project.

This is mainly because the impact of the aerospace carrier is too great. Even if the aerospace industry company develops independently, the influence of research cannot be denied. The research and development of the aerospace carrier can establish the international status of flower growers, and it also means that humankind Technology can officially leave the earth.

At the same time, Amrican will naturally fall completely off the competitive stage, and will no longer be able to compete for at least a few decades.

This kind of super project that represents technology, military and the future will definitely continue even if it fails midway.

The problem is that when failure causes significant damage, someone must be held accountable.

Who will take responsibility?

The person who is qualified to take responsibility for the Spaceship Industry Company is Wang Hao. He is the direct person in charge of the project, and he is also the one who planned the project and led the establishment of the Spaceship Industry Company. The participation of other cooperative enterprises is not high.

The only one with high participation is the space agency. They also own the space carrier and send a large team to participate in research and development.

So the only one left is Teacher Zhu. He is about to retire. If something goes wrong, he can only retire early.

Teacher Zhu had not thought about these issues before. He also felt that he had nothing to do with the test experiment and just followed the others to observe the test.

Now that he thought about it carefully, he broke out in cold sweat. It was like if there was a problem with a big project within the space agency, the person in charge must be responsible. If there was a big problem with the light pressure engine project, only Wang Hao and himself would be responsible.

Since it was impossible to go after Wang Hao, he could only be held responsible.

As for other people, they are not even qualified to take responsibility. Major problems in the project will also have a certain impact on them, but the worst possible outcome is to leave the project. Most of them are top scientific research and engineering personnel, and they can still return to their original units. Continue to work normally.

The more Teacher Zhu thought about it, the more depressed he became. He became the most anxious person and began to ask Wang Hao repeatedly, "Academician Wang, are you confident tomorrow?"

"How much is your confidence? Can you give a specific number?"

"I'm worried..."

Wang Hao was so annoyed that he simply gave a higher number, "98%, there is a 2% chance of something going wrong, but normally there will be no problem."

"Huh~~~"

This number gave Teacher Zhu some comfort. What he actually wanted to hear most was that it would be 100% successful, but he also knew that it was completely impossible.

After returning to the resting place, he simply asked someone to help him make a random small program. The small program would output red failures and green successes, and the probability of output failure was 2%.

Then he started running the program continuously on the computer.

"Start! Success~"

"Start! Success~"

"Start! Success~"

The probability of 98% is too high. Most of the output of the mini program is successful, but if it is run too many times, it will occasionally fail.

After experimenting many times in a row, Teacher Zhu found that the game was a bit interesting, just like gambling. Later, he even hoped to see two failures in a row. As a result, he failed to achieve the goal after running for more than an hour.

He didn't lie down on the bed depressed until it was too late and he had to go to rest.

…

The next morning, the test officially began.

This time there are many aspects of testing, which are of great significance and have attracted worldwide attention.

At eight o'clock in the morning, a large group of people had gathered in the square where the light pressure engine was parked.

Important figures from the leadership team and the research team were standing at the entrance, and they shook hands with Zhang Wei, who was performing the test task.

Zhang Wei is an excellent pilot, but he is not flying a fighter jet.

Before that, he trained for half a month.

Now he is wearing a spacesuit and is about to board the circular cabin at the top of the engine. Traveling with him are more than a dozen animals, including monkeys, dogs, poultry, mice, etc. The animals are all released Fixed in the cage.

The existence of these animals is to test the oxygen supply system of the circular cabin.

As a pilot, Zhang Wei, of course, will not personally test the oxygen supply system. The spacesuit he wears has an oxygen mask. If he feels a little suffocated, he can put on the oxygen mask. His main job is to sit in the position and feel the operation of the light pressure engine. At the same time, we constantly maintain communication with the main control room and report the situation in a timely manner.

If he encounters a very dangerous situation, he will open the ejection seat and let himself be ejected hundreds of meters away from the engine.

Although the tasks performed are relatively simple, there are still certain risks, so before departure, the leadership team and project leaders shook hands with Zhang Wei. People who perform such tasks can be called heroes.

Wang Hao also shook hands with Zhang Wei. He patted Zhang Wei on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work. The spacesuit is heavy enough this month. You will have to climb a hundred meters in a while. Is that okay?"

"Report, Zhang Wei is ready!"

Zhang Wei saluted seriously, raised his chest and raised his head, and shouted energetically.

Wang Hao continued, "Wish us success!"

Zhang Wei suddenly felt a sense of responsibility and honor. In fact, many people envied him and it was not easy to get this opportunity.

Although he is only performing a test mission of the light pressure engine, the light pressure engine is too high-end, and it will be built around the space carrier in the future. To a certain extent, it can be said that he is the first person to board the space carrier.

After Zhang Wei went to the other side, Paul Phil-Jones couldn't help but said, "Wang Hao, I have already said that I want to go. I can also perform this kind of mission. I also want to be the first to board." People on the Helicarrier.”

“That will definitely go down in history!”

"I, Paul Phil-Jones, the deputy captain of the space carrier, was the first to board the battleship!"

Wang Hao rolled his eyes fiercely, "The mission is indeed very simple. Otherwise, you and Zhang Wei will go up together? But we agreed in advance that there is only one seat inside, and I won't care if anything goes wrong."

"Also, because the engine may not run smoothly, all the devices inside, animals and humans, must be secured."

He added, "I remember there was an empty cage at the bottom..."

Paul Phil-Jones suddenly stopped talking.

Xiang Qiansheng said with interest, "Paul, I think you can go. This mission is indeed not dangerous. You are in the bottom cage, which is monitored from all angles."

"We can take a few more photos to commemorate then."

Cao Dongming was also familiar with Paul Phil Jones, and he immediately said, "Yes, Paul, I also think you can go. It will definitely be interesting then. Think about it, you will be the first to board the space carrier." Humanity."

"You are still the future vice-captain!"

Paul Phil-Jones took a few deep breaths angrily and said forcefully, "Since you said so, I'll leave the opportunity to you!"

He said and walked away quickly.

…

The test officially begins.

Wang Hao has arrived at the control center, followed by Zhu Qiqiang and Teacher Zhu.

Zhu Qiqiang is the commander.

Teacher Zhu came here purely because of worry. Teacher Xu and Teacher Zhao both went to the air-raid shelter. Teacher Zhu felt that he had to watch the test with his own eyes before he could feel at ease when he came to the command center.

When the time reached 9:30, Wang Hao began to give orders and prepare the engine to officially take off.

Zhu Qiqiang kept reporting on the progress, "The engine warm-up is completed, the equipment is all normal, and the deviation during the warm-up phase is within the error range."

"You can go to the next step..."

"Electronic system self-test!"

"The test is over, everything is normal!"

"Report nuclear facility data!"

"The nuclear power is normal, the neutron channel is normal, the radar signal is normal, and the total battery power is 95%..."

Instructions were issued one by one, and reports were sent back one after another.

After confirming that there were no problems with all parts, Wang Hao immediately announced the power on, and the inspection personnel also began to report the temperature data.

This test is different from last time.

When the temperature inside the concave reflector exceeded 4200 degrees Celsius, Wang Hao gave the order to start the excitation propulsion device.

Finally the operator at the main console pulled the control lever.

The fixing device of the engine bracket will break away from the body, and you can see on the screen that the huge ball breaks away from the support and begins to rise.

You can clearly see the huge ball slowly rising away from the support...

Teacher Zhu and Xiang Qiansheng stood together, and he couldn't help but ask, "This time it seems to be faster than last time."

The engine rose slowly last time, but this time it was obviously very fast with a certain amount of acceleration.

Xiang Qiansheng explained, "This test is a rapid lift-off. During the lift-off process, the maximum acceleration will exceed 5 meters per second. At the moment when it is separated from the support rod, the acceleration will also exceed two meters per second."

"This is also a performance test for the support rod. There is a buffer distance at the moment of startup, and the electronic system will have a certain delay, but it is also within a controllable range."

"At the same time, the temperature at which the engine starts is also higher, reaching 7,300 degrees Celsius in the center."

In the process of explaining to Qian Sheng, it can also be clearly seen that the engine is constantly accelerating. Although the acceleration is not high, not to mention compared with airplanes, even cars on the road are far behind, but such a behemoth is accelerating. Lifting off vertically is quite shocking.

In less than a minute, the light pressure engine has risen more than 500 meters.

at the same time.

Many reporters gathered in a small town 30 kilometers away. They mainly gathered on the two mountain tops. There will be a clear view on the mountain tops. The engines can be seen when they are about fifty meters in the air.

These reporters come from various countries around the world.

Because the test process is open in nature, 23 TV stations will broadcast the test process live, and at the moment the engine takes off, the total number of global viewers even exceeded 300 million.

This is incredible data.

You know, the engine test time is on the morning of a weekday, and many people cannot watch it at all.

Among these viewers, domestic viewers contributed half of the ratings, and foreign viewers also exceeded 100 million.

The light pressure engine is so important, and its influence abroad is also very large. It was even broadcast on the website. Everyone was shocked when they saw the engine flying.

"Look at this big guy, it's so huge!"

"It's incredible, it really took off! Last time, I thought it was just news, but this time I finally understand why it caused such a strong response."

"The screen is filled with bright light, but the big ball on top is also very obvious. It's silvery white. It would definitely be more shocking if it were closer."

"How much does it weigh? It's too scary..."

A host from a live TV station said, "This time the light pressure engine is tested, a manned cabin is installed on it, and there will be pilots inside the cabin to perform the mission."

"According to public information, the engine will rise to an altitude of more than 10,000 meters during the test. Because the engine is very large and the light source excited below is also very strong, large light spots can still be seen through the thick clouds..."

During the host's introduction, the light pressure engine quickly passed through the clouds.

But even after passing through the clouds, you can still see a huge bright light. Even because of the influence of the clouds, the bright light is divergent, and it looks like a big ball from the ground.

If the corresponding sun is not far away, it will feel like there are two suns in the sky.

This scene is very shocking.

Some people think of the legend of Hou Yi shooting the sun and can't help but say, "Maybe the story of Hou Yi shooting the sun is true?"

"But what he shot down was not the sun, but an alien spacecraft..."
