Technology Bigshot Chapter 604: ：New engine technology concept]
……
This is a very serious topic. These things that Ren Hong said seem too far away, but looking back at the speed of human development, facing such possible problems, it will only happen in a hundred or two hundred years. Even half a century later, when a human spacecraft visits Proxima, the results can be obtained.
However, it may be unfounded. The planets that give birth to intelligent life must first have life. This is an extremely low probability, and the probability of the existence of life planets in a binary star system is lower than that of a single star system, and a triple star system is even lower and complex. The orbiting of the planet makes the environment on the planet's surface too harsh and frequently changes dramatically, and the probability of producing a "habitable zone" like the Earth is really low and can be ignored.
Humans have been exploring the solar system unexpectedly, and they have been collecting unique signal waves in the universe, especially unnatural signals. With the continuous advancement of technology, the exploration of the Centaurus galaxy, which is the closest to the solar system, has become more frequent. The signal receivers of the constellation, such as the "Guizhou Sky Eye" and other large scientific equipment have not detected the special signal from the Centaur.
All of these information can more or less prove that there is no civilization planet in the Centaur three-star system, and even if there is, it lags behind human beings. Once the scope of civilization's activities expands, it cannot be concealed. K2 level, with the current technology of earth people, it will definitely be detected.
In any case, Ren Hong is a human being from the earth. Even if he can't wait for that day to come, in his worldview, the Centaur three-star system must become the territory of human beings. Only 4 light-years away, in Ren Hong's view, this is God's blessing.
How lucky is it to have a stargate on your doorstep? What is more fortunate for mankind is that not only did they not encounter the tragedy of the blue water people, but they also inherited the heritage of the blue water people. The blue water people are so similar to the current human beings. From a certain point of view, human beings are the blue water people. continue.
The legacy of the Centaur three-star system and the Blue Water Man is undoubtedly an opportunity for human civilization to quickly enter the k3 civilization in a short period of time.
Ren Hong thought for a while, and said, "The so-called early bird catches the worm, Xuanyu, I am going to separate you, specializing in stargate and engine technology and other long-distance navigation technologies. In the era of great spaceflight, The truth all depends on speed. I will give you a team and give you an annual budget of 1 billion US dollars to burn, and you can choose the team members from the whole country. I will come forward to negotiate with the people of the National Academy of Sciences and promise to form a top team for you. engineering team.”
Xiao Xuanyu's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he had a sense of gearing up.
Ren Hong also has the courage to allocate 1 billion US dollars in research funds every year to develop a field that is far away.
He is very aware of the importance of Stargate, especially now that he has the prototype of Lanshuiren Technology as the technical foundation. This seemingly distant goal is not a dream. Some things always need someone to do it, and Matrix Technology is willing to spend This so-called waste of money.
For a moment, Ren Hong pondered: "The star gate is a symbol of the K3-level civilization. If the vast territory of our country represents a universe, the star gate is like the terminal of the high-speed rail, and the star gate will be maintained after the construction is completed. The open state is like the operation of the terminal. The train is a spaceship, and long-distance navigation can be carried out anytime, anywhere. The blue water people's stargate prototype technology will definitely not work. The limitations must be broken through. A terminal can only lead to the capital one way. With such a large investment, only being able to go all over the country is the key.”
"In the future, after we build a technologically complete Stargate in Centaur, as long as our human adventurers and pioneers open up safe passages, our spacecraft will be able to reach 100,000 light from the Alpha Stargate. In any corner of the Milky Way, and even the ultra-long-distance cosmic voyage across galaxies, the tragedy similar to the blue water man will be avoided, at least we will not be killed by supernovae.”
Xiao Xuanyu's heart is very excited, but Ren Hong's brief description shows him a magnificent epic chapter of the cosmos. The system incorporates the rhythm of the human back garden.
Xiao Xuanyu felt uncomfortable at the thought of humans roaming the sea of stars in the near future.
However, he quickly calmed down and said, "Boss, this goal is too far away, although I have the confidence to eat the blue water people's stargate prototype technology and expand it, but I think it is still necessary to refer to the current human beings. Relying on the existing productivity, the productivity cannot be improved even if the complete Stargate technology is mastered, it is equivalent to guarding the Golden Mountain in vain.”
Seeing a look of approval from Ren Hong, Xiao Xuanyu was full of confidence by this approval, and then said: "Boss, I think the k2 level should be taken once, otherwise it will not be complete, my idea is to decode the blue After the water man's technology, we should focus on the cosmic speed that marks the K2 level civilization first, after all, we can't eat fat in one go, so let's turn the solar system into a back garden first."
"Of course, there are ambitions, and it is necessary to move forward on a down-to-earth basis. It seems that you have an idea, so let's hear it." Ren Hong asked curiously.
As soon as the professional discussion came, Xiao Xuanyu immediately transformed into a science madman. He quickly waved his fingers and said again and again: "Boss, my dream in this life is to hope that human beings can roam the stars and seas, and space technology is mine. Areas of specialization, especially in spaceship drive engines."
Ren Honghuan folded his arms and watched his rapid operation. After a while, Xiao Xuanyu stopped the movement in his hand, and there were more than ten spotlight screens listed on the console. He pointed to them one by one. Said: "I have been researching the issue of new technology-driven engines for a long time, and the scope of design is relatively wide, and I understand a lot of related engine technology ideas. Look at this, ion thruster, the engine that has been realized so far. Technology, needless to say, but it still cannot be separated from the traditional engine propulsion mechanism.”
"This, the engine technology proposed by the Americans and being researched is called 'pulse propulsion engine', but the shortcomings are obvious. In theory, the speed can reach one-tenth of the speed of light, but the radiation dust in the voyage is not Very deadly. However, the 'pulse propulsion engine' is extremely optimistic in the field of space technology. Many experts in related fields believe that it will become the baton of the next generation of human space propulsion engines and the best engine propulsion technology for traveling the solar system. The possibility of realization exceeds 70%, but the risk factor is high."
"There is this, 'nuclear fusion rocket', which is a research project led by the Royal Interstellar Society code-named 'Project Daedalus'. Instead of the magnetic field of the tokamak, the power laser beam replaces the magnetic field of the tokamak, and uses a conventional laser to guide the hot plasma generated by the magnetic field to eject from the engine port, thereby generating propulsion."
