Chapter 513 [Having and not using are two different things]

The space solar energy power station is far more than just for civil power generation. Otherwise, America would not have proposed it in 1968. In 1979, the plan was given. The economic feasibility could not support the choice to give up. Thirty years later, the project was restarted and continued. advance.

The reason why Laomei restarted is because it saw the military use of space solar power stations.

Otherwise, all countries will not be so anxious to start it now, even if they can’t follow suit in the end, they still have to do it, because the space solar power station is transformed into a sustainable space-based weapon.

In other words, in a less rigorous way, it means unlimited energy and unlimited bullets.

Because it can receive light energy from the sun's radiation around the clock, of course, the energy is unlimited, so it is a sustainable space-based weapon.

Receive light energy in a large area, and finally focus on a point to lock a target on the ground, which is orbital fixed-point strike, which really refers to where to hit, and the high-energy laser strike is a light-speed strike, it is impossible to avoid it, and the reaction is impossible to be fast. faster than the speed of light.

The power of high-energy laser strikes depends on the output energy level. Further speaking, the larger the area of ​​your solar panel and the greater the energy received, the greater the power of the output.

As a space-based weapon, the space solar power station can not only advance and attack, but also retreat and defend.

Isn't ICBM impossible to intercept now?

Hypersonic missiles can't be intercepted?

If there are space-based weapons with high-energy laser strike capabilities in geostationary orbit, intercontinental missiles can be intercepted without pressure. In other words, you can't go faster than the speed of light, and you can't escape the speed of light.

To lock is to strike, to strike is to destroy, and the speed of this strike is the speed of light.

...

But at this moment, in the study on the second floor, Fang Hong looked at the beautiful assistant and said with a faint smile: "If you don't use the laser transmission method, you will lose your money. The laser transmission and the military-level strike capability are also to protect the space light energy." safety of the power station."

Fang Hong immediately added: "The current demilitarization of space is largely due to the fact that the assets of various countries in space are not many, and they are not concentrated under the vast space scale, so destroying each other has little effect and is meaningless. big."

Speaking of this, Fang Hong changed his mind: "But what if your space assets reach hundreds of billions or even trillions? Space solar power stations are at least hundreds of billions of assets. Such huge assets operate at high altitudes in orbit. In fact, a few missiles on the opposite side can destroy your decades of hard work, do you think they will do it?"

Fang Hong laughed and said, "Now the missiles of Laomei have the ability to shoot down satellites. Is it possible not to use missiles? Of course, it is also possible. For example, a satellite in geostationary orbit 'suddenly lost control' and moved towards your When a space solar power station crashes into it, a small satellite can destroy hundreds of billions of your space assets. Even if you don’t destroy them, you will suffer heavy losses. If you don’t install a defense system, you dare to place hundreds of billions of assets in space. asset?"

Speaking of this, Fang Hong looked at the beautiful assistant: "In the meeting later, you should tell them that, it's not that we want to do this, but that we must do it. Laser transmission is necessary, in order to protect our space Assets, laser weapon systems must also be available, and the militarization of space is also an inevitable trend in the future, so let me tell them with Qian Lao’s words that having and not having it are two different things.”

Tian Jiayi nodded involuntarily.

In addition to military capabilities, as long as the space solar power station is built, it will also become a source of power for various perpetual spacecraft, especially some expensive spacecraft, which can greatly improve their service life.

Let’s just talk about the future “Tiangong” space station. The future space station will not need to send energy from the ground. The space station operating in low orbit will install a microwave receiving station on its own. The solar power station directly transmits microwaves and converts them into electrical energy on the receiving station of the space station, thus providing energy support for the entire space station.

In this way, future space stations will be able to expand to a larger scale.

The development of technology is often driven. The breakthrough of one point can often drive other points to take off. In the future, the space solar power station will be in operation. For the construction of a sustainable base on the moon in the future, the energy supply Problem solved.

The space light power station operating in the geostationary orbit emits microwaves or lasers directly towards the moon, and the surface base receiving station on the front of the moon is converted into electrical energy to supply energy for the entire moon base. Although the energy attenuation is inevitable during the transmission process, the earth-moon Although the distance of more than 300,000 kilometers is very far away, it is close at hand on the scale of space and the universe.

Even if there is energy loss in the transmission process, it is acceptable. After all, light energy is free, and the most important thing is that it is far more cost-effective than sending materials directly from the earth to the moon for energy replenishment.

After solving the problem of stable energy supply, building a sustainable base on the moon will no longer be a fantasy, and it will be feasible at that time.

Once the lunar sustainable base is established and consolidated for another seven or eight years, the development of the space mining industry will surely come as scheduled, and the scope of human activities will no longer be limited to the cradle of the earth. In the future, the establishment of an industrial base on the moon will also become Rare and commonplace things that people don't marvel at.

It can be seen that this series of benefits are visible to the naked eye, and they can be expected in the future. Compared with the forever 50 years of controllable nuclear fusion and the breakthrough from 0 to 1, the feasibility of space solar power plants is in the Under the existing technical level and economic foundation, the conditions for building are already met.

Naturally, there is no reason not to do it.

With Fang Hong, the ultimate big boss behind the scenes, making the decision, it means that there is the support of Qunxing Capital, the super funder father. This level of super project involves an investment of hundreds of billions of dollars, and the cost cannot be recovered quickly in the short term, and the time period is long. There will be a lot of variables, not only if you don't have money, you can't play it, but if you don't have courage, you can't make a name for yourself.

But the big boss is determined to promote this super project. With the full support of the sponsor's father, the progress of the "Daily Project" will be much faster, and it will definitely not stay on the PPT.

In the next few days, Tian Jiayi, on behalf of Qunxing Capital, went to Kyushu Blue Arrow for a meeting. The super engineering project of space solar energy power station was directly finalized by the speed of light in the secret meeting inside Kyushu Blue Arrow, and it was determined to be "Daily Project" Give the plan a name.

Qunxing Capital provides financial support for it, Kyushu Blue Arrow takes the lead, and Xincheng University, Xidian University and other universities establish key laboratories for space solar power plant systems.

The chief engineer of the project was led by Yan Jiandan and Xiang Lanzhi to carry out a series of technical breakthroughs.
