Chapter 60: New rockets and solar reflectors

After Zhao Huasheng made his conclusion, the venue fell into silence again. The head of state frowned and thought about it for more than ten minutes before slowly saying: "The active response plan is the main one, and the negative response plan is supplemented."

"These two plans will be carried out at the same time. We will conduct a large-scale space launch and construct an intelligence collection network for solar civilization. At the same time, the sunlight reflection plan will also be carried out, and a large number of sunlight reflectors will enter space, and strive to improve The living environment of our human beings at the moment. As for the future... Let's see what kind of information we can get from the sun. If it is confirmed that the solar civilization still has goodwill towards us, then the implementation of medium response plans will not be ruled out in the future. possible."

The Fuehrer did not give a clear answer, but this answer has clearly stated his position. At the same time, in the current situation, it is the most appropriate to do so.

The core of this response plan is that when it is impossible to determine whether the other party is benevolent or a malicious civilization, one's own side must first interpret the other party's behavior with the greatest malice. Because only in this way can you avoid additional losses for your own side. From a game-theoretical point of view, this behavior makes the most sense.

After the decision was made, the meeting discussed the implementation details of some follow-up plans. The meeting was not announced until after dark.

Zhao Huasheng walked out of the venue a little tired. A person next to him caught up from behind and patted Zhao Huasheng on the shoulder. Zhao Huasheng turned around and saw Wang Tang's face.

"Watson, I agree with your opinion." Wang Tang said, "Only **** is the best destination for those scumbags."

"Thank you." Zhao Huasheng said, "Is the Crimson Heart spacecraft okay?"

"Fortunately, the crew is all well. Vivica's radiation sickness has been controlled and is recovering, and the rest of the people have also recovered. When did Captain Ruggle return to Earth to find you with him?" Drink and thank you in person for saving your life." Wang Tang said with a smile.

"It's fine if nothing happens. Please tell Rague that I'm also looking forward to the day I drink with him."

"Don't worry, I will help you with your words." Wang Tang said, "Speaking of which, Watson, I have always been curious as to why Director Li Qi chose you to take on this responsibility? What makes Director Li Qi think you can take this responsibility?"

"Oh," Zhao Huasheng laughed, "Before I solved this puzzle, I didn't know it myself, but after I confirmed that there is a civilization living above the sun, I probably understood that maybe... Let's talk about some speculations about the possible existence of alien civilizations that I mentioned in a small talk with Director Li Qi before."

"Oh? What kind of speculation is this?" Wang Tang said with great interest.

Zhao Huasheng said: "It's nothing more than some unrestrained things. For example, there may be creatures on the stars. For example, the understanding of stellar creatures about eating may be completely different from ours, or even the opposite. It was just young and frivolous, what? I dare to think about things, and I don’t care about the rationality and logic behind these things at all. However, it is right and wrong, and it happens to say some characteristics of plasma life forms. I think that Director Li Qi should have already made plasma life forms at that time. It was made, and I already had a certain understanding, and it happened that I said these things in small talk... So Director Li Qi gradually paid attention to me who was only an intern at the time, and at the last moment simply returned Put the burden of solving the mystery on me."

"It turns out that Director Li Qi is right. To solve the problems left by him, it happens that you need a wild imagination, and you just have this quality."

"It's just luck..." Zhao Huasheng said while rubbing his forehead.

At this moment, he has reached the end of the corridor. After waving goodbye to Wang Tang, Zhao Huasheng came to the car driven by Meng Zhuo.

"Help me arrange it. I'm going back to the Institute of Stellar Physics to work. I have a hunch that the way to destroy the solar civilization is hidden in the Institute." Zhao Huasheng said.

"Okay, I'll arrange it for you. From tomorrow, you will become the new director of the Institute of Stellar Physics, and you will be in charge of the overall work of the institute." Meng Zhuo replied.

"It couldn't be better." Zhao Huasheng said.

Zhao Huasheng once again returned to the Institute of Stellar Physics where he had worked for more than two years. The Institute of Stellar Physics is not in Equatorial City, but in the City of Life. So Zhao Huasheng, Li Wei's family, and Meng Zhuo also moved to the City of Life to live. Although the land of the city of life is tight and resources are scarce, the institute is still extremely large and perfect. More than 10,000 researchers work in it at all times. Because the Institute of Stellar Physics is at the forefront of fighting the solar crisis, it must be supported by the most abundant resources.

The City of Life has not been built into a fully enclosed urban community as planned before, because the cost is too huge, and since the temperature of the sun will be maintained at about 4,500 Kelvin and will not drop again, then the life There is really no need for the city to be completely enclosed.

Although the City of Life is as cold as Equatorial City, it is where more than 80% of the scientists of the entire human civilization work, so the living environment of the City of Life is still much better than that of Equatorial City. Zhao Huasheng and Li Wei were arranged to live in a residential building in the building complex of the Institute of Stellar Physics.

Studying stars is Zhao Huasheng's own job. Zhao Huasheng is here, and together with many researchers, he has carried out research on the sun. Zhao Huasheng seems to have forgotten the responsibilities he bears and gave up trying to find a way to destroy the solar civilization. Zhao Huasheng is just doing his own job, just like other researchers working here.

No one knows what Zhao Huasheng is thinking, not even Li Wei knows why Zhao Huasheng chooses such a way of life. But no one urged or reminded Zhao Huasheng of anything. Because everyone knows what kind of person Zhao Huasheng is, if Zhao Huasheng chooses to do this, there must be a reason why he needs to do it.

In addition to his daily work, Zhao Huasheng will also pay attention to the latest progress of the scientific research department. So Zhao Huasheng knew that the latest type of recyclable rocket had been successfully developed, which reduced the cost of human space activities by more than a hundred times. Zhao Huasheng knew that in just a few months, there were at least 30 pieces of equipment. The satellite with the high-precision optical solar telescope was launched into space and headed for the sun 150 million kilometers away, knowing that the 100 solar reflectors that were successfully developed in the initial stage were about to be launched into space. own work...

Among the information, the recoverable rocket is a new type of rocket system. In the past, the high cost of launching has been the biggest shortcoming restricting human beings to carry out large-scale space activities. Among the high launch costs, the rocket body, which can only be used once, occupies a large part. Think about it, a Hercules rocket with a length of 70 meters and a diameter of more than ten meters will contain many expensive precision instruments. Compared with these precision instruments, the fuel that propels the rocket into space is simply insufficient. One mention. However, such an expensive rocket body can only play a role once. After the payload is sent into space, the rocket body will burn up in the process of falling into the atmosphere and become a pile of worthless scraps of copper. iron.

The new recoverable rocket is completely different. After this rocket sends the payload into space, there will still be residual fuel in the rocket body, which will support the rocket body to return to the atmosphere at a relatively gentle speed, and then land on the People designate the location. Therefore, these rocket bodies only need to replace some necessary parts~www.novelmt.com~, carry out some maintenance, and add new fuel, they can be reused twice, three times, or even more times. It is this new technology that greatly reduces launch costs.

The solar reflector is going to be launched into space using these new rockets. Each solar reflector has an area of ​​one square kilometer. It is made of new materials and is extremely light and thin. It only takes a rocket to launch a reflector into space. After reaching space, the ion engines installed on them will propel them to unfold, and then move to the right orbit, presenting the right angle to reflect the sun's rays that would not otherwise hit the Earth.

The first batch of 100 solar reflectors were targeted at the City of Life. So in the past two months, after all 100 reflectors were launched into space and all started to work, even in the daytime, Zhao Huasheng raised his head and could see the 100 bright ones in the sky of stars.

At such a close distance and high albedo, they are even brighter than Venus.

While Venus is cold, these sun reflectors are hot. They are constantly bringing light and warmth to the earth.

When Zhao Huasheng saw the hundred bright stars, Zhao Huasheng felt that something in his heart was touched.

Zhao Huasheng looked at the sun, and said, "Under the crisis, not only you will have the technology outbreak, but we humans will too. In terms of aerospace technology, we humans have passed it in less than a year and a half. It would have taken at least twenty years to complete the journey.”
