From University Lecturer to Chief Academician

Chapter 640 Tianhang-01 Voyage Plan! Paul: I must join!

The space carrier is officially codenamed ‘Tianhang-01’.

After the last space test, the light pressure engine was officially named the 'space carrier', and the codename was quickly determined.

The main system of Tianhang-01 has been relatively complete. The recent work is to continue to add manned cabins, install satellite launch brackets, improve the small spacecraft release cabin, and add gravity shield equipment and gravitational field equipment.

After a series of constructions are completed, the next step determined by the spacecraft company is to explore Europa.

This plan has been finalized, and an announcement has been made. "In the future, Tianhang-01 will fly to Jupiter and explore Europa, which is the most likely to have life in the solar system. At that time, it will collect as much Europa as possible." samples of the planet and collect detailed information about Jupiter and its moons."

Europa is the sixth known satellite of Jupiter and the fourth largest of all the satellites of Jupiter. It is called Europa because it is the second closest to Jupiter.

Compared to other planets, the surface of Europa is much milder, mainly because its surface is covered with ice and the bottom layer is an ocean.

Some scientists believe that the Earth's oceans gave birth to life, and that Europa, which has a similar environment to the Earth, may also give birth to life. Europa's subglacial ocean has also become one of the goals of mankind's search for extraterrestrial life.

Therefore, the main collection target for Europa’s planet samples is groundwater samples.

However, collecting groundwater samples is very difficult, and the decision depends on the landing environment. The second goal of collecting is soil and rock samples.

Research shows that the surface of Europa is similar to the Earth and is filled with a large amount of silicate rocks. Collecting silicate rock or Fenghua soil samples is also very meaningful and valuable work.

The spacecraft company issued an announcement on the next step of the plan, promoting the exploration of Europa, but in fact, the planet exploration work is only incidental, and the most important thing is to allow Tianhang-01 to conduct long-distance voyages.

This is a plan and a test.

Tianhang-01 will fly from the Earth to Jupiter, orbit Jupiter for several weeks, complete the exploration of Europa and collect information, and then leave the orbit of Jupiter and return to Earth.

The best time for the voyage plan is half a year later, which will catch up with the months when the distance between the Earth and Jupiter is relatively close, and the average distance is less than 690 million kilometers.

Then the total distance to and from Jupiter is only about 1.4 billion kilometers.

The entire plan is expected to take 30 to 60 days, which can be regarded as a long-distance navigation mission.

The definition of "long distance" is also relative to the performance of Tianhang-01. Compared with the progress of human exploration of the universe, a distance of 1.4 billion kilometers cannot be overstated by "ultra-long distance".

Now the world's top institutions are already discussing Tianhang-01's voyage plan.

This involves the issue of ‘ship quota’.

The country has the right to decide the number of people to board the ship. There are two main aspects to consider, one is political factors and the other is academic factors.

Due to political factors, naturally only organizations with good relationships can have quotas for boarding ships.

Academics, of course, are scientific research.

The voyage plan of Tianhang-01 can carry people into space. Tianhang-01 is also equipped with a large number of the most high-end astronomical equipment. For many top scientists, taking part in the voyage plan with Tianhang-01 is an opportunity not to be missed. .

The details of the voyage plan have not been released yet, it is just an announcement, but the announcement itself also caused a huge response.

The focus of public opinion is the number of people Tianhang-01 can carry and who will have the opportunity to board it?

The top scientists within the spacecraft company naturally have the opportunity, and the space agency that holds part of the ownership rights of 'Tianhang-01' can also send personnel to participate in the plan.

It’s hard to say for other institutions.

In fact, most of the places in the voyage plan have already been allocated.

Tianhang-01 can usually carry between 120 and 150 people. The first voyage will definitely not be 'overloaded', which means that the cabin space will be tight. It is planned to carry no more than 120 people.

Among them, there are 40 places belonging to the spacecraft company itself, 25 places occupied by the military and science and technology departments, 15 places occupied by the space agency, and 30 places owned by other domestic companies and cooperative institutions, and the remaining places can be allocated to other companies. personnel.

In terms of quota allocation, the spacecraft company has made great profits.

Most of the personnel sent by the spacecraft company perform tasks, including spacecraft operations, maintenance and repair personnel, or serve as technical consultants.

There are about 25 of these people in total, and the remaining 15 places can be used freely.

As a profit-oriented company, the spaceship company has begun to seek cooperation with large companies. To put it simply, it means selling out quotas.

The number of more than a dozen places is not large, but it is enough to earn more than 10 billion flower-growing coins.

This money can even cover the losses during the voyage.

During the voyage plan, Tianhang-01 will also perform the release missions of several large satellites and extraterrestrial detectors, which can also bring great benefits.

The quota occupied by the military is mainly to send several management and security personnel. They will also be stationed in Tianhang-01 for a long time and participate in the future missions of Tianhang-01.

The quotas obtained by scientific research departments and cooperative enterprises and institutions are specifically engaged in scientific research.

Many astronomers will be included, and the voyage plan will surely become a feast for astronomical research.

This is very interesting.

Wang Hao's annihilation physics overturned traditional astrophysics, but the space carrier navigation plan he led became a feast for astronomical research.

Astronomers who might board Tianhang-01 have mixed feelings when they think of Wang Hao.

Of course, the most important thing at the moment is the anti-gravity spacecraft. Only when the spacecraft is perfected can the time for the voyage plan be set.

After Wang Hao and Chen Jiahe had an agreement, they immediately notified the Tianjin Aerospace Base and asked them to send a team from the electronic system group to the anti-gravity spacecraft base.

The electronic system team at Tianhang Base is still relatively idle. Their electronic system is very complete. In addition, the work has always been to install various equipment and facilities. All that needs to be done is routine docking and maintenance.

Four days later, the Tianjin Aerospace Base sent a team of twenty people, and Paul Phil-Jones was the leader of the team.

Wang Hao was still in the anti-gravity spacecraft base. He was understanding the electronic system framework of the spacecraft and pointed out some problems along the way.

He found that the work of improving the electronic system was relatively easy, because the electronic system was already functioning normally and most of it had been completed.

The system still has a lot of bugs, but the big framework is already there, and the upper-level code is relatively complete.

What he has to do is take the lead in sorting out the underlying framework.

First of all, the underlying framework must be corrected and perfected, and then the upper-level code must be corrected, so that there will be no big problems.

Paul Phil-Jones met Wang Hao when he arrived at the base. He was obviously very excited because he felt that his dream was about to be completed.

Ever since the voyage plan was finalized, Paul Phil-Jones has been in such a state of excitement that he can't help but call himself 'Vice Captain' when he meets everyone.

It is indeed possible that he boarded Tianhang-01 and participated in the voyage plan.

The spacecraft company has many quotas, some of which are for research and technical consultants.

The theoretical team led by Wang Hao must send at least one person to participate in the plan. He will definitely not be able to go personally. The safety of the task cannot be completely guaranteed, and it is impossible for him to participate in person.

Paul Phil-Jones' only competitor is Ding Zhiqiang.

Helen and Chen Mengmeng rarely participated in experimental work, let alone frontline voyage missions.

Huang Xing's reputation has been greatly reduced, and his participation in the voyage plan is not convincing.

Paul Phil-Jones has participated in a lot of work on the development of light pressure engines, and is naturally the most promising person to participate in the voyage plan.

He didn't even regard Ding Zhiqiang as his opponent, "That lazy guy might just give up, right?"

That's what he thought.

You can imagine how happy Paul Phil-Jones was.

After meeting Wang Hao, he asked politely, "What are you studying? It is said to be related to black holes? I read the theoretical content, strong S waves? Very interesting."

"And that big piece of diamond, it's beautiful."

Although the words he spoke were full of praise, the tone of his voice showed that he was completely insincere.

Compared with the voyage plan, Paul Phil-Jones doesn't care about strong S-waves, black hole theory, or large and beautiful diamonds at all.

Paul Phil-Jones also doesn't know how to control his emotions. His mood can be seen on his face. He asks technical questions and adopts a pleasant tone, as if to express, 'I only care because I have no choice.'

Wang Hao looked a little depressed. He curled his lips and said, "It's indeed interesting."

"We created a region that is very similar to a black hole."

"Similar to a black hole? Strong annihilation force field?" Paul Phil-Jones is also well-informed. If other people heard that it was similar to a black hole, they would definitely be very surprised, but he was not surprised at all, and his tone remained very calm. .

"It should be a compressed version."

Wang Hao's tone was also very plain, "It's just a compressed strong annihilation force field, with electric light flashing on the surface. It looks like a dark magic ball released by a mage."

"Dark Sphere?"

Paul Phil-Jones thought about it seriously and asked, "There are electric lights around? It sounds very good."

"Sure, but nothing."

Wang Hao shook his head nonchalantly, "Actually, we have created a wormhole."

"ah?"

Paul Phil-Jones' face was full of confusion. He thought he heard wrongly, "Wormhole? Are you sure?"

"look."

Wang Hao took out his mobile phone, turned on the screen, and found a photo.

It was a selfie of Ding Zhiqiang. He was standing in front of a strong S-wave thin layer area, with a dark thin layer behind him, and a large shaped object piercing through the thin layer. It looked very sci-fi.

Paul Phil-Jones stared at the photo and couldn't help but open his mouth wide. He looked left and right and couldn't find any trace of PS. In fact, he was very sure that it was definitely not a PS picture.

There is no way Wang Hao has pictures like that in his cell phone.

so……

"Shet—!"

He reacted suddenly and slammed his phone, "I want to join this research too!"

"Too cool!"

"God--"

"Wang Hao! Wang Hao! I am also an important member of the theory team. You must let me join. I must join..."

Wang Hao's expression froze on his face. He reminded her hard and said in a calm tone, "Attention, that's my mobile phone."

"I want to join too!"

"That's my phone, don't destroy it again, give it to me!"

"I want to join!"

"Give me your phone—"

…

After the electronic system team of the Tianjin Aerospace Base arrived, the work of improving the electronic system of the anti-gravity spacecraft officially began.

Wang Hao was directly involved in the work. He stayed at the spacecraft base for more than half a month and took the lead in sorting out the underlying framework.

Once this part of the work is done, the rest is relatively simple.

It's like solving a math problem. As long as you find the direction to solve the problem, the rest are calculation and filling steps, and you can let others complete it.

After Wang Hao determined the direction of his work, he also made the original space agency team a little dissatisfied. They did not think there was anything wrong with their underlying framework.

Half a month later, they no longer looked at it that way.

"The framework that Academician Wang led and perfected is so perfect. He seems to have thought of all possibilities."

"Under this framework, there can be no major problems with the upper-level code."

"No wonder the speed at Tianhang Base is so fast and the system is so complete."

"It's incredible——"

"I dare say that Academician Wang is the best framework engineer. He does not seem to study mathematics and physics, but is better at calculation work."

"Don't you know? Academician Wang is proficient in computers. In his early years, he made many top achievements, including effective and irrelevant carry screening."

"He seems to have also given a speech at Aba's big data research and development institution~~"

Wang Hao led the team to spend two weeks improving the underlying framework of the system.

The next step is to modify various algorithms and functional codes based on the underlying framework.

Even though the correction work has just begun, with a complete underlying framework, everyone has become very confident.

Wang Hao will not participate in the follow-up work.

You can just let others complete the basic code work. The team has more than 200 computer engineers, and is assisted by the electronic system team of the Tianjin Aerospace Base. It takes two months to complete the system.

By then, there will still be bugs in the electronic system, but as long as it is not a major problem, relying on security and emergency detection and repair systems will be enough to deal with it.

Safety and emergency detection and repair systems are very important systems in the aerospace field.

Satellite operation relies on the safety and emergency detection and repair system. When encountering software and functional problems, the system can be started for automatic detection and repair.

If self-check and repair are not possible, the problem can be found and ground personnel can repair it manually.

During this process, the system can maintain normal operation of minimum functions.

If it is an anti-gravity spacecraft, you can also turn on various main functions to put the spacecraft in a safe environment and wait for the system repair to be completed.
