NFBE Chapter 406 Torch
Chapter 406 Torch
Chapter 406 Torch
Lawrence didn't know that he had become a glorious reserve player, but this did not prevent him from experiencing the shock brought by the cloud research institute to ordinary people at close range.
All kinds of high-tech equipment and technologies that have been ahead of the earth for hundreds of years are like coming to the world of science fiction. Just looking at the list makes Lawrence feel his heart beat faster and his eyes turn red.
The "Prometheus" project is just a vision of Lawrence. Originally, he believed that it would take at least hundreds of years for earth technology to be realized, but right in front of Lawrence's eyes, the problems in the theory were solved one by one, and 80% of them Lawrence had never seen the above technical details.
However, with the amazing ability that Captain Ghost has always shown, Lawrence can treat this with a normal heart, but another thing makes him unable to calm down.
That is, there are only [-] scientists in this scientific research institute!
Sixteen scientists, and it is said that there are three part-time new product testers, this is all the living people in the institute, and the rest are countless robot assistants.
This number can be said to be far lower than what Lawrence and everyone imagined.
Even in the small laboratory he set up by himself, there are more than 30 assistants, not counting miscellaneous tasks, and the cloud research institute, which claims to be full of black technology and has countless research and development results, has only 16 people in total? !
Who can believe this?Is it impossible to fully automate scientific research?
In the virtual world, Yu Lao and the others all appeared as small robots, without revealing their identities.
But during this period of communication in the "Prometheus" project, Lawrence could vaguely perceive that these people should be the same type of people as himself.
They are very familiar with the scientific research environment on the earth, and have mature personalities brought about by their age. They are rich in experience, wise and knowledgeable, love to dig into the horns and are particularly stubborn, and they all reveal a smell that Lawrence is familiar with...
In the process of communicating with many top scientists, Lawrence will have such a familiar feeling.
But the difference is that they seem to have a youthful vigor among these characteristics, which makes Lawrence feel a little contradictory.
What shocked Lawrence even more was the "inhuman" ability displayed by Yu Lao and others.
Proficient in many foreign languages!Interdisciplinary and all fields are involved, and the level is as high as several floors!
Quick thinking and quick response, the speed of mental arithmetic is completely incomprehensible!
The work efficiency is astonishing. Often the proposals proposed in the morning will have specific laboratory verification results released in less than two hours.
He is so knowledgeable and knowledgeable that he can't understand it. He is almost familiar with various theories and techniques, and can come up with a conclusion that Lawrence needs to think for a long time in a few words.
Even in his own professional field, in terms of theoretical level and scientific research skills, Lawrence found to his dismay that he was crushed by everyone present in all aspects.
You must know that among these people, only 5 are experts in the field of physics, and the rest are experts in the fields of chemistry, mathematics and even biology.
But he can't even compare to a biology guy in his professional field!
He also finally knew why a mere sixteen people could hold up the title of the strongest scientific research institute.
When such a scientist appears, Lawrence will tell himself that there are always one or two unreasonable geniuses in the world, but there are sixteen such people at once, and no matter how stupid he is, he knows that there must be something wrong with it. .
It is rumored that Captain Ghost's body enhancement technology is unparalleled in the world, and Ghost Rider can even dodge bullets. Just looking at the abilities shown by these scientists, Lawrence knows that there is no reason for it, and it may not be without reason.
However, when he asked whether this kind of body enhancement could be exchanged, what he got in return was Yu Lao's meaningful "internal employee benefits"...
Lawrence is deeply envious of this employee benefit!
The strongest scientists, the strongest scientific research environment, and the strongest backing of Captain Ghost...
"It's really a scientific paradise..." Lawrence sighed inwardly as he watched the spaceship gradually approaching the sun.
Recruiting people first is the reason why Nie Yun arranged for Lawrence to participate in the project. As long as he is a scientist who pursues the truth, he cannot be indifferent to a scientific research environment like the cloud.
"Drip! The spaceship has arrived at the preset location!" At this time, the system's notification sounded, interrupting Lawrence's thoughts.
The spaceship in the picture turns off its thrusters and slowly sails forward by inertia.
"Although the boss didn't come, it is a revolutionary galaxy-level project after all, and the ribbon-cutting ceremony still needs to continue. Mr. Lawrence, you are the theory proposer of the plan, so let you do it." Mr. Yu made an invitation gestured.
A virtual operation panel immediately appeared in front of Lawrence, with a red handprint on it.
"No, no, I just proposed the inspiration for the design, and I hardly helped in the actual implementation process. This honor should belong to everyone present." Lawrence quickly declined.
To be honest, in the second half of the plan, Lawrence felt that he could not keep up with the pace of the old and others, and his technical accumulation was still too weak.
The so-called masters come first, and Lawrence quickly corrected his posture shortly after joining the team. He came to learn.
"Hehe, inspiration is the most precious thing for science, and I look forward to your providing more inspiration for the earth." Yu Lao extended his hand to invite again with a smile.
Seeing the old insistence, Lawrence put his hand on it with some embarrassment.
"Drip! The 'Prometheus' system is officially launched!"
Then Lawrence saw the spaceship in the picture begin to slowly unfold.
First, the rear half of the hull opened, and the 8 sets of parallel propellers suddenly split and separated in eight directions.
The interior of the spherical spaceship is filled with a thin, almost transparent film. Eight sets of propellers spray exhaust flames and fly slowly in eight directions, pulling the film behind it to slowly open.
The following picture is like opening a parachute, and the area of the opened film is getting bigger and bigger.
10 square kilometers... 100 square kilometers... 1 square kilometers... 10 square kilometers...
Under the action of the solar wind, this huge film bulged slightly backwards, eventually forming an umbrella with the center pointing towards the sun.
The remaining hemispherical hull of the spacecraft is hollow inside, like the sandbags of a hot air balloon, firmly attracted by the huge gravitational force of the sun, offsetting the thrust of the solar wind on the membrane.
The eight sets of propellers also slowly shut down after the final attitude adjustment to keep the entire system relatively stationary with the sun.
"Torch No. 1, orbit deviation 0.001%, anchoring completed!"
The Prometheus project was inspired by the Dyson sphere, but the idea of the Dyson sphere is not only too large, but also has many difficulties.
For example, how do construction materials withstand high temperatures?How to deal with the huge internal stress caused by the gravity of the sun?How is energy transported?
Lawrence proposed a way to replace the solid material with a transparent solar film, using a flexible film to avoid huge internal stress and reduce material consumption.
Solar thin-film technology is not new on earth. In 2015, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of cadmium telluride thin-film solar cells in the laboratory had reached 21.5%, and it had already entered the practical stage. The development is even more rapid.
The unique parachute design refers to the solar sail theory.
As long as the film density and orbit are reasonable, the solar gravity and solar wind on the film will cancel each other out, thus keeping the orbit stable and avoiding stress tearing.
In addition, the specially designed light-transmitting film can add a thermal radiation reflective coating according to its own temperature tolerance, and adjust its own light transmittance to minimize the heat absorbed by itself.
After that, using the sun's gravity, solar wind and revolution speed as parameters, Lawrence designed a stable orbit calculation formula for calculating the anchor orbit.
This is the smallest unit of stealing fire in the "Prometheus" plan - "torch"!
