The Rise Of Space Technology

On the eighth day of the new year, the work of the new year officially begins.

The entire Ningcheng County was immersed in the sound of firecrackers and fireworks.

Benefiting from the policies of Xinghai Technology, a large number of enterprises have settled in Ningcheng County, which has injected strong impetus into this land. The development of the company directly got on the rocket and took off in place.

A few years ago, an ordinary county with a population of only a few hundred thousand people, in just a few years, the resident population of the entire Ningcheng County has exceeded the 10 million mark. The number of employees of Xinghai Technology alone is in Ningcheng. More than 500,000 people work here.

The population growth is extremely rapid, and the land and housing prices in Ningcheng County are also rising like a rocket.

The real estate all over the whole country is in a cold winter, but the real estate development here is extremely fast and hot. The price has exceeded 30,000 per square meter, but it is still very popular.

There is no way, the employees of Xinghai Technology alone are the most powerful buyers, and a sweep is a large piece.

Fortunately, with the large-scale popularization of aircraft, the growth of the resident population in Ningcheng County has finally gradually decreased, and even began to decrease, and housing prices have also begun to fall.

If there is an aircraft, everyone has a lot of choices to live, and where to live comfortably.

In addition to the rapidly expanding resident population, the economy of Ningcheng County is also booming. It has already stabilized its position as the No. 1 economically strong county.

The prime minister of a county's GDP exceeds 25 trillion fruit coins, accounting for more than one-tenth of the whole fruit. If such a county is not upgraded to a city, it is always a bit unreasonable. Not on it.

This point of the eighth day was also the busiest day in Ningcheng County.

Early in the morning, the aircraft in the sky were like locusts, wave after wave, batch after batch, all over the sky were aircraft, flying here from all directions.

Everywhere in the industrial zone, firecrackers and fireworks are blaring, resounding through the sky, celebrating the start of the new year, and I hope this year will be another good year.

Here at Xinghai Technology, Liu Yuan is sending red envelopes to everyone at the Xinghai Technology Research Institute. It is a tradition to receive red envelopes in the eighth day of the school, and it is also an opportunity for employees and their bosses to get to know each other.

The company is getting bigger and bigger and the number of employees is increasing. Liu Yuan can't send red envelopes to all the employees, but he still wants to send a red envelope to the employees on the researcher side.

"Boss, make a fortune in the new year!"

"New Year's Fortune, New Year's Fortune!"

"Happy new year boss!"

"Happy New Year!"

"Can the boss take a photo with you?"

"of course!"

With a smile on his face, there are still many people looking for Liu Yuan to take photos, especially female employees, almost all of them take photos with Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuan is constantly giving out red envelopes. The secretary in Liu Yuan’s office next to him and his assistants are sweating profusely. There are a pile of tickets next to them. They need to keep putting a piece of Grandpa Zhang Hong into the red envelope. .

The red envelope is not big, the picture is a lucky one.

The whole time I went up was spent in giving out red envelopes. After arriving, Liu Yuan was exhausted. However, looking at the long queue and the expectations of the employees, he finally insisted on sending it to the last employee who came over.

"Too tired, too tired!"

Liu Yuan couldn't help shaking his head. Fortunately, it was also a happy day. The struggle of the new year began.

In the afternoon, in a large conference room of Xinghai Science and Technology Research Institute, Liu Yuan held the first meeting of the new year, and all the senior management of the company were present.

Lu Yong, Tang Xiaohui, Yi Han, Weng Yiyang, Xie Xin, He Qiang, Wu Dan, Tang Peng, Wang Chen, Sun Zilong, Xu Yunpeng, Zhou Tong, Li Chun, Jiang Wannian, Song Cang, Wan Hanrui, etc. All in place.

The scale of the company is getting bigger and bigger, and the management is becoming more and more standardized. There are also dozens of levels in the staff level. Of course, it is divided into two categories: ordinary management staff and technology engineering staff. The latter's level and treatment are common. Higher and better than the former.

"The new year has begun!"

Liu Yuan glanced around, the team is getting bigger and bigger, and the responsibilities and burdens on him are also getting bigger and bigger. Thinking about the more than 2 million employees behind his company and the families of tens of millions of people behind it, this is a huge Responsibility.

"We have to move forward towards our dream again. Do you still remember what our dream of Xinghai Technology is?"

"Of course I remember, the sea of ​​stars!" Everyone replied in unison.

If other companies talk about the sea of ​​stars, they will definitely be laughed to death, but Xinghai Technology is different. It uses its own actions to tell everyone step by step that Xinghai Technology is really moving towards the sea of ​​stars. Moving forward, one item of black technology keeps coming out.

The employees of Xinghai Technology, especially the senior management, all believe that one day they can go to the sea of ​​stars. Making money is just a side effect of Xinghai Technology. The purpose of making money is to go to the sea of ​​stars.

"Um!"

Liu Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

From the very beginning, I have played the banner of Xingchenhai, and I have been working hard. It has never been the same as ordinary companies. I rarely mention performance. Company performance is what Lu Yong should care about, and Liu Yuan cares about it. It's a matter of technological development.

"This year, we will start three things. The first is to start research on controllable nuclear fusion, and strive to master controllable nuclear fusion technology in the next three years, so as to provide powerful power and energy for interstellar spacecraft."

Liu Yuan didn't talk nonsense, and directly started to arrange the two major things to be done this year.

When it comes to controllable nuclear fusion technology, it is not surprising that many senior leaders from research institutes have been studying warp engine technology for a long time, and the current theoretical research has reached a certain level.

This involves a very critical thing - the energy issue.

The energy that the warp drive needs to consume is very huge. The only things scientists can think of are nuclear fusion and antimatter. Antimatter is obviously impossible, because antimatter is still in the theoretical stage, and only nuclear fusion technology is the most promising.

Although there are many problems that need to be solved in controllable nuclear fusion, the most difficult one is the problem of high temperature of hundreds of millions of degrees, but as early as decades ago, scientists have proposed many solutions.

For example, scientists have proposed two theoretical methods of laser confinement and magnetic confinement to solve this problem. In addition, some scientists have proposed the idea of ​​cold nuclear fusion.

The so-called cold nuclear fusion, as the name implies, is that nuclear fusion occurs at room temperature or at a lower temperature. This assumption also has its scientific basis.

In general, controllable nuclear fusion technology is a promising technology that can be researched at present.

It is also expected that the research on controllable nuclear fusion technology will be launched. Liu Yuan also mentioned this matter last year, and the research on controllable nuclear fusion technology will be launched at the New Year's meeting.

"The second thing is to carry out the research and manufacture of interstellar spacecraft, develop the space industry in space, and manufacture medium and large interstellar spacecraft."

Liu Yuan talked about the second thing, which was not unexpected.

The current spaceship is still too small, even if it is an air carrier, it is actually very small, and it will reach the top by carrying a few thousand people.

In this interstellar universe, ships of this level are generally called small spaceships.

Of course, it can only be called a few people or a dozen people, and those with dozens of people are micro spaceships, private spaceships.

For interstellar voyages, at least a medium-sized spacecraft must be prepared.

The definition of a medium-sized spacecraft is different, some are based on mass, some are based on length, and some are based on the number of people or the amount of cargo that can be carried at one time. There are various standards, but in general, the general medium-sized spacecraft has The length will exceed 1000 meters, which is 1 kilometer, and the width and height will be at least several hundred meters. It can carry more than 100,000 people for interstellar immigration at one time.

Only such a spacecraft can be called a medium-sized spacecraft.

Of course, in addition to being large, there are other technical requirements. For example, medium-sized spacecraft will have a gravity generating device, which is convenient for ensuring the health of the crew during long-term interstellar spaceflight.

In addition, if the development of energy technology is sufficient, it will be required to install an energy shield to provide safety protection. Of course, the general level 3 cosmic civilization of energy shield technology cannot master it. Only civilizations above level 4 can master such powerful technology. .

Energy attack technology is considered a bad street technology in the universe. Even if a level 1 parent star civilization can master laser weapons, it is the simplest energy technology.

But ability shield technology, this is high-end technology, mastering this technology often determines the fate of a problem.

In the future, to develop on other planets, it is natural to bring some more people to the past. A medium-sized spaceship is necessary to build, and it can carry more than 100,000 people at one time. After all, the communication between the interstellar universe is not easy. In the case of a warp engine, the amount of energy consumed for traveling is also a huge number.

Medium and large spacecraft must be researched and manufactured, which is also the foundation of the future based on the interstellar universe.

The interstellar universe is a cruel dark forest. The truth is only within the range of cannons. With powerful technology, wars between civilizations often become extremely cruel. If no strong strength is exposed, it may be someone else's dish. .

And a powerful space battleship is the most powerful guardian and attacker of a civilization, and it is also something that must be researched and developed.

The bigger the space battleship, the stronger the deterrent!

PS: What do you think the universe will be like? Dark forest? Or harmony and friendship, or isolation from each other?
