Chapter 487 Tiannian Space Plane

Time passed quickly.

Tsutsuishi has launched an investigation into whether the United States has discovered the same thing on Mars. Of course, it is impossible to get a result on this matter in a short time. After all, NASA’s affairs are basically classified, let alone NASA is prohibited from conducting any cooperative research in space science with them.

Therefore, there is basically no need to think about approaching the other party in the name of cooperative research and inferring information.

Because of this, their methods of obtaining intelligence are subject to certain restrictions.

Of course, there is another way to use Qiankun No. 1 to try to crack the other party's secrets, and they did so, but relying on manpower obviously cannot do it as easily as Xiaomi. Even for Xiaomi, it It doesn't take too much computing power to crack the password set by others.

In addition, almost all countries currently add extremely complex passwords to some secrets, basically to protect against their quantum computers. Just like the extremely complex password designed by NASA, it is also specially used to target quantum computers. Their.

So even if they want to use this method, they still need to invest more computing resources.

All in all, at present, it is still difficult for them to determine this through observations of NASA, so their current focus is still on the moon monument and the earth's ruins.

Lin Xiao's recent major breakthrough in moon tablet materials has received great attention from the Moon Stone Division, and he also stated that most of his resources will be directed to them to help their research.

So, two months later, Lin Xiao successfully designed the kind of particle accelerator he needed, and the three academicians Zhang Ming also successfully developed the method of preparing carbon-sulfur compounds based on Lin Xiao's results.

Next, Yueshisi invested 2 billion yuan to build the particle accelerator designed by Lin Xiao.

As for the carbon-sulfur compound, although it is possible to start building a mass production factory, no one knows whether this carbon-sulfur compound can be successful, so for this matter, we need to wait until the final experiment on the particle accelerator.

So, nearly four months later, the particle accelerator designed by Lin Xiao was officially completed.

…

On August 13, 2027, in the factory where the "Moonstone" particle accelerator is located.

"Moonstone" is the name they gave this accelerator, expressing the hope that it could help them create materials as powerful as the moonstone.

This day is also the first day that the "Moonstone" particle accelerator is officially launched.

Lin Xiao stood in the factory and looked at the long pipeline in front of him. Like the particle accelerator specially used to produce fusion tungsten plates, this particle accelerator is also a linear accelerator.

It is precisely because of this that they were able to complete the construction so quickly.

Of course, the bigger reason is the convenience brought by room-temperature superconductors.

"Chief Lin, if you could have come earlier, this particle accelerator would have been built long ago."

At this moment, a voice came from beside Lin Xiao, it was Liao Cheng.

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Maybe, who knows?"

Liao Cheng waved his hand and said, "Anyway, I believe this now."

Lin Xiao shook his head, and then asked curiously: "But having said that, I have always had a question. Since you call the moon monument 'Moon Monument', why is your company called the Moon Stone Division?"

Liao Cheng spread his hands and said, "Because what we found on the moon is a moon stone. Who knew that it would run to the earth and become a moon monument?"

"Then why did you think of peeling off the stone outside the moon monument in the first place?" Lin Xiao asked again.

Liao Cheng touched his nose and then said: "Well, actually, it was mainly because when the moon stone fell to the earth from the return capsule, something went wrong during the process. The fixing of the moon stone became loose, and then it bumped. There were many places, and finally we discovered the moon monument inside.”

"So this is ah."

Lin Xiao nodded slightly. If this was the case, it would be a doubt in his mind. After all, the surface of the moonstone itself had magical symbols, which revealed seven ruins on the earth, so regardless of No matter how you think about it, they should have no motive for cutting the stone.

At this time, Zhang Ming and three other academicians came over and said to Lin Xiao with a smile: "Chief Lin, we are all ready. We can start now."

Lin Xiao nodded slightly, and then said: "Okay, let's get started!"

They will soon create the same material as the surface of the moon monument!

Zhang Ming and the others also showed excitement, because next, they would create the King of Materials with their own hands!

This material with such abnormal properties in every aspect is obviously the well-deserved king of materials!

"Activate the 'Moon Stone'!"

As the order was conveyed, their "Moonstone" particle accelerator was officially started soon.

As the huge current flows in, a strong magnetic field is also generated from the long and straight pipe. Then, the particles generated at the starting point pass through the long tunnel under the influence of this strong magnetic field. Finally, it blasted straight towards the end point, and at the end point, there was a large amount of carbon-sulfur compounds.

Finally, the two connected, and the internal structure of the carbon-sulfur compound began to change quietly due to the collision from the bombarding particles from a special angle.

Until finally, a connection between the exotic electrons and the inner atomic nucleus was established.

…

"The test results are out! This material has indeed reached the level of the moonstone surface material! In other words, the two materials, except for some differences in half-life testing, are exactly the same!"

As the "enhancing enchantment" process of the particle accelerator ended, they waited until the radiation value dropped, took out the new carbon-sulfur compounds inside, and then tested them.

Then, such a gratifying result came out.

"Really? This is great!"

After the three academicians Zhang Ming learned about this result, they all felt extremely excited.

They really made such amazing materials!

Moreover, the cost is completely acceptable.

First of all, the cost of ordinary carbon-sulfur compounds as its raw materials is cheap enough. If large-scale mass production is achieved, the price of one ton will probably be more than 100,000. Although this is also very expensive, for the final product Material-wise, it's really cheap.

And then there is a particle accelerator that costs billions. This is indeed very expensive, but it is mass-produced equipment after all. In addition, because of the controllable nuclear fusion, the electricity cost has become very cheap, and the subsequent use costs It's not high, so the cost is completely affordable.

Of course, the most important thing is the performance of this material. This kind of money issue is a minor issue!

They are now able to achieve more breakthroughs with this material!

Therefore, these three academicians at this moment even feel that being able to research such a thing would be worth their while.

Liao Cheng, who was standing next to him, was immediately cheered up, "Well done!"

He clenched his fists tightly. This time, it could be said that they had made a major breakthrough in their exploration of this suspected prehistoric civilization on earth!

"We must tell the superiors this news as soon as possible. I believe the superiors will be very happy."

He was thinking this in his heart. Of course, before that, he had to express his gratitude to Lin Xiao again.

But when he looked around, he was stunned because he didn't find Lin Xiao.

He asked the people next to him suspiciously, but only then did the people next to him realize that Lin Xiao was not at the scene.

They were all distracted by this measurement result and didn't even notice anyone leaving.

Liao Cheng frowned immediately, but at this moment, a staff member suddenly said: "I just saw that Chief Lin seems to have left and left here."

Everyone present was stunned for a moment, what?

At such a critical moment, Lin Xiao actually left?

Doesn't he care about the final result?

"Why did Chief Lin leave?" Liao Cheng also asked the staff member.

The staff member replied: "He seems to have said that the construction of his aerospace research institute has been completed and he wants to take a look."

Liao Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't laugh or cry for a while.

What's this all about? You can't even wait for a moment?

No matter how important that aerospace research institute is, is it still important to have this material that transcends civilization levels?

"I understand." Then he nodded, took out his cell phone, and called Lin Xiao.

Soon, the call came through.

"Chief Lin, why did you leave so suddenly?"

After getting through, Liao Cheng said helplessly.

On the other end of the phone, Lin Xiao was sitting in the car heading to Dingguang Aerospace Research Institute. After hearing Liao Cheng's words, Lin Xiao smiled and said: "Dingguang Aerospace Research Institute has been built, so I want to go and see it." look."

"Aren't you curious at all about the test results here?"

Lin Xiao smiled, "It was successful anyway, wasn't it?"

"how do you know?"

"I believe in my design."

Hearing Lin Xiao's confident words, Liao Cheng was silent for a long time, and finally sighed, "Chief Lin is indeed Chief Lin, I know."

"It was indeed successful. This material perfectly achieves the properties of the moon monument material. The two materials can be said to be the same material."

"That's good."

"Um, oh, by the way, Chief Lin, what about the name of this material? Why don't you come up with one?"

Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then said speechlessly: "There is no need to ask me for such a thing as naming, right?"

"This is definitely necessary. After all, you have made the greatest contribution to research and development."

Lin Xiao shook his head, and then said: "Okay, let's just call it Moon Monument-1. After all, we discovered it from the Moon Monument."

"Well...your name is really...unpretentious."

Regarding this name, Liao Cheng suddenly felt speechless. Isn't Lin Xiao worried that after the name of this material is spread, others will associate it with it?

"Okay, there is no need to say anything else. Finally, I will emphasize to you that after production starts, leave more output for me. I will use it to build aerospace engines!"

Liao Cheng was stunned, building... an aerospace engine?

Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said: "You mean...are you sure that you can use this material to develop an aerospace engine?"

"Of course, otherwise why would I spend so much time on this?"

Lin Xiao said: "The performance of the aerospace engine made of this material will exceed your imagination, so leave some more for me. By then, we will be able to travel to the universe easily!"

Hearing the pie described by Lin Xiao, Liao Cheng seemed to be able to smell the aroma of the pie through his mobile phone, and then immediately said: "I understand, Chief Lin, just don't worry, I will leave enough for you." of!"

"That's good." Lin Xiao said with a smile, and then they said no more and hung up the phone.

After Liao Cheng put down his mobile phone, he first emphasized the importance of confidentiality to those present, and then gave instructions about the construction of a factory for carbon-sulfur compound raw materials. Now that it has been proven successful, this raw material can be started. Mass produced.

In addition, it was about the naming of this new material. Obviously, the name given by Lin Xiao could not be used, and at least one had to be changed. So he thought about it and decided on the final name, "Also, about this new material Let’s call it YB-1.”

Everyone present was stunned, this name...

Isn't it a little too rundown?

However, Liao Cheng didn't care so much. He said that this was the name given by Chief Lin, and then he did not stay here anymore. Instead, he left here to report the good news to the superiors.

When others saw this, they gave up their plan to change the name. After all, Liao Cheng also said that this was Lin Xiao's name.

But they always feel that this ordinary name is not worthy of such awesome material...

…

On the other side, Lin Xiao was sitting in a car. After several hours, he finally arrived at his aerospace research institute.

Seeing the grand appearance here, he also had a satisfied expression on his face.

According to its construction purpose, this aerospace institute has the design, development and construction of aerospace aircraft, as well as various testing and training functions.

The largest even has a laboratory to test the performance of aerospace engines.

However, if we really want to talk about the biggest one, we still have to talk about the ten-kilometer-long airport runway at the back.

Looking at the long, straight track, you would probably want to try the feeling of taking off if you were racing a car.

All in all, this is a research institute created specifically for the study of aerospace aircraft.

Of course, in Lin Xiao's view, the aerospace plane is the inevitable form of future aircraft. After all, the aerospace plane is the prototype of the spacecraft used for space navigation in the future.

And by developing in this direction now, they are preparing for the future.

After all, in the last century, Western countries relied on various first-mover advantages to completely achieve global dominance in the aviation field. Even international aviation standards were completely formulated by them, so that their C919 was internationally adapted. I've been stuck in the air permit issue for so long.

Now that they have the technology, they can deploy aerospace planes as soon as possible. Maybe by the next century, they will be the ones deciding international aerospace standards.

Of course, this matter is still a long-term goal in the future, and for now, it is more important to achieve the goal of going to Mars first.

Afterwards, Lin Xiao took a deep breath. Next, he would officially start the manufacturing of aerospace engines - yes, manufacturing, not research.

With materials like Moon Monument-1, he really didn't know what thorny problems would come next.

Because of the power of Moon Monument-1, he could even find a way to stuff a shrunken conch-type nuclear fusion device inside.

In other words, even the energy problem on the rocket has been completely solved because of this material.

The aerospace engine he plans to design requires the use of lasers to bombard deuterium and tritium mixed gas pellets, and the energy required by this laser is naturally very powerful. Therefore, this also requires them to have sufficient energy, and the nuclear fusion aerospace engine It cannot provide energy by itself, because strictly speaking, this kind of nuclear fusion is uncontrollable nuclear fusion.

But now, he can rely on the powerful performance of Moon Monument-1 to directly carry out controllable nuclear fusion.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao smiled slightly, and then began to summon talents from all walks of life to come to the Aerospace Research Institute to work, and at the same time, he also began to design the future aerospace aircraft.

The previous design of the space agency naturally required PASS. After all, the space agency's design did not consider a nuclear fusion engine and a controllable nuclear fusion reactor.

Obviously, in order to accommodate these two new things, the aerospace plane he will design next will definitely be very big!

…

USA.

"How is our Mars plan going?"

The president summoned his secretary and asked the question.

The secretary replied skillfully: "The construction of the main part of the Saturn 9 rocket has begun, and it is expected to be completed in one year."

The Saturn 9 was upgraded based on the Saturn V that landed on the moon that year, and has more powerful performance.

"In addition, after six months of screening, we have selected five excellent and reliable astronauts from the Academy of Sciences and the military. They have gone to NASA to start training. Interestingly, one of them is an astronaut also named As Armstrong."

"The above is the latest situation."

"Armstrong? Yes, yes." The president was a little interested in this name. After all, the first man to land on the moon and the first footprints on the moon were also stepped on by "Armstrong."

Of course, he then nodded with satisfaction, and then emphasized, "Of course, being excellent and reliable is not enough, you also need to be loyal."

"Mr. President, please rest assured, they must be the most loyal of all."

"That's good." The president said, "And that Lin..."

Before he could finish asking the question, the secretary once again answered skillfully: "The construction of Lin Xiao's Dingguang Aerospace Research Institute has been completed."

For the secretary, these two questions are almost something that their president must ask every three days, so he will remember this information every day in order to respond to the president's questions.

"The construction of that research institute has actually been completed?"

When the president heard this, he frowned immediately. This was the worst news he had heard in a while.

Because Lin Xiao did not know how many results he had researched in the Dingguang Research Institute that annoyed him. God knows how many results the Dingguang Aerospace Research Institute will produce by then.

"Mr. President, please don't worry." At this time, the secretary saw the president's worries and took the initiative to relieve him: "This Lin Xiao is likely to develop an aerospace aircraft, but the current aerospace aircraft All the technologies are still immature, so they have no reason to succeed."

"At least, there is no reason for them to be able to launch during the next landing window. In other words, we will definitely be the first country in human history to launch a manned mission!"

Hearing the secretary's words, the president smiled broadly.

This is indeed the case. Anyway, as long as only their manned rocket can be launched during the next window period.

"Okay." He nodded, and then said: "Oh, by the way, since our astronauts have already gone to training, let's arrange our next trip to NASA by the way. I will personally go and encourage our future landings. Fire heroes.”

"Okay, President."

"By the way, don't forget to live broadcast the whole process so that our voters can see it!"

"Yes, President."

…

Just like that, time passed quickly again.

2027 is over and 2028 is coming.

The universe has no time, it is always so bright, and Mars has no time either, because it just remains dead, hanging in the dark universe.

But there is time for humans to reach Mars, and that will be next year.

On March 31 next year, the Mars Project's Saturn 9 will carry five astronauts, and after more than six months, it will land on Mars and leave a new footprint there.

Even though there was still a year left, everyone in the world began to discuss whether the United States could succeed. For a moment, the United States seemed to have returned to its glorious era, and the whole country was extremely happy.

At the same time, what is interesting is that among the five astronauts, there is a man named Armstrong, which makes everyone wonder, what if the person who makes the first footprints on Mars is also this man named Armstrong?

Ever since, the discussion on this point has become more and more heated, and some gaming companies have even opened a market specifically for this purpose.

However, while everyone else was discussing it, no one at the Dingguang Aerospace Research Institute cared about whether the Americans would succeed.

Because nothing could interest them more than the behemoth in front of them.

And this behemoth is called Tianchao.

At the same time, it is also the first in the world to use controllable nuclear fusion as energy and uncontrollable nuclear fusion as the source of driving force——

Space plane!
