Super Mothership

Chapter 407

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 up close.

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 beating faster and his eyes flushed.

The “Prometheus” project was only an idea of ​​Lawrence. Originally, he believed that Earth science and technology would not be possible until at least hundreds of years later, but before Lawrence’s eyes, the theoretical problems were solved, 80% of which were solved. The above technology details are something Lawrence has never seen before.

However, with the amazing ability that Captain Phantom has always shown, Lawrence can also treat it with a normal heart, but there is another thing that makes him unable to calm down.

That’s it… there are only 16 scientists in this research institute!

Sixteen scientists, it is said that there are three part-time new product testers, these are all the living people in the institute, and the rest are countless robot assistants.

This number can be said to be far lower than Lawrence and even everyone’s imagination.

Even in the small laboratory he set up, there are more than 30 assistants, not counting the assistants, and the cloud research institute, known as black technology, with countless research and development achievements, actually has only 16 people in total? !

Who can believe this? Isn’t it possible to do scientific research and be fully automated?

In the virtual world, Yu Lao and others are shown as small robots, and their own identity is not exposed.

But through this period of communication in the “Prometheus” project, Lawrence could vaguely perceive that these people should be the same kind of people as himself.

They are very familiar with the scientific research environment on the earth, and have mature personalities brought by age, rich experience, wise and knowledgeable, love to be horny and extremely stubborn, and they all reveal a familiar taste for Lawrence…

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 in these characteristics, which makes Lawrence feel a bit contradictory.

What made Lawrence even more shocked was the “inhuman” ability displayed by Yu Lao and others.

Proficient in many foreign languages! Interdisciplinary and all Realm are covered, and the level is as high as several floors!

Quick thinking and quick response, mental arithmetic speed is completely incomprehensible!

The work efficiency is amazing, and the specific laboratory verification results are released in less than two hours for the schemes that are often proposed only in the morning.

UBM’s strong knowledge has reached the point of incomprehension. It almost casually picks up various theories and technologies, and in a few words, it can be said that Lawrence needs to think for a long time to reach the conclusion.

Even in his own professional Realm, in terms of theoretical level and scientific research skills, Lawrence discovered with frustration that he was actually crushed by everyone present in all aspects.

You must know that among these people, only 5 are experts in physics Realm, and the rest are experts in chemistry, mathematics and even biology Realm.

But he actually couldn’t even compare to a biological player in his own professional Realm!

He also finally knew why a mere sixteen people could hold up the name of the strongest scientific research institute.

When such a scientist appeared, Lawrence would tell himself that there are always one or two unreasonable geniuses in the world, but sixteen such people suddenly appeared. Even if he was stupid, he knew there must be a problem. .

According to rumors, the human body enhancement technology of the ghost captain is unparalleled in the world, and the ghost rider can even dodge bullets. Just looking at the abilities demonstrated by these scientists, Lawrence knows that there is no reason behind it.

However, when he was small and wealthy, he asked whether this kind of body reinforcement could be exchanged, but he got Yu Lao’s meaningful “internal employee benefits”…

Lawrence is deeply envious of this employee benefit!

The strongest scientist, the strongest scientific research environment, and the strongest ghost captain as backing…

“It’s a heaven of science…” Lawrence exclaimed as he watched the spacecraft gradually approaching the sun.

Recruit people first. This is why Nie Yun arranged for Lawrence to participate in the plan. As long as it is a scientist who pursues the truth, he cannot remain indifferent to a scientific research environment like the cloud.

“Dip! The spacecraft arrived at the preset location!” At this time, the system prompt sounded, interrupting Lawrence’s thoughts.

The spacecraft in the picture turned off its propellers and sailed forward slowly relying on inertia.

“Although the boss did not come, it is a revolutionary Galaxy-level project after all. The ribbon-cutting ceremony still needs to be continued. Mr. Lawrence, you are the theory proponent of the plan. It is up to you.” Yu Lao made a request. Gesture Road.

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 specific implementation process. This honor should belong to everyone present.” Lawrence quickly declined.

To be honest, in the second half of the implementation of the plan, Lawrence felt that he could not keep up with the pace of the old and others at all, and his technology accumulation was still too weak.

The so-called talent first, Lawrence soon put his posture right after joining this team, he is here to learn.

“Hehe, inspiration is the most precious thing to science, and I look forward to you providing more inspiration for the earth.” Yu Lao smiled and extended his hand to invite again.

Lawrence saw the old persistence, so he pressed his hand up with embarrassment.

“Dip! The ‘Prometheus’ system is officially launched!”

Then Lawrence saw the spaceship in the picture slowly unfolding.

First, the second half of the hull opened, and the 8 sets of side-by-side propellers suddenly split and separated in eight directions.

The spherical spacecraft is filled with a thin, almost transparent film. Eight sets of propellers eject tail flames and fly slowly in eight directions, pulling the film behind them slowly to open.

The next picture is like opening a parachute, and the area of ​​the stretched film is getting bigger and bigger.

10 square kilometers… 100 square kilometers… 10,000 square kilometers… 100,000 square kilometers…

This huge film swelled back slightly under the action of the solar wind, and finally formed an umbrella with its center pointing to the sun.

The remaining hemispherical hull of the spacecraft is hollow, like the counterweight sandbag of a hot air balloon, firmly absorbed by the sun’s huge gravitational force, which counteracts the thrust of the solar wind on the film.

The eight sets of propellers are slowly closed after the final posture adjustment, so that the entire system remains relatively still with the sun.

“Torch No. 1, the track deviation is 0.001%, and the anchoring is complete!”

The Prometheus plan was inspired by the Dyson ball, but the Dyson ball concept 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 sun’s gravity? How to transport energy?

Lawrence proposed a way to replace solid materials with transparent solar films and use flexible membranes to avoid huge internal stress and reduce material consumption.

Solar thin-film technology is not new on the earth. In 2015, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of cadmium telluride thin-film solar cells in the laboratory reached 21.5%, which has already entered the practical stage. After Nie Yun’s black technology was invaded, this civilian technology The development is even more rapid.

The unique parachute design refers to the theory of solar sails.

As long as the film density and the orbit are reasonable, the solar gravitation and the solar wind on the film will cancel each other out, thereby maintaining the orbit stability and avoiding stress tearing.

In addition, the specially designed light-transmitting film can add heat radiation reflective coating according to its own temperature tolerance, and adjust its own light transmittance to reduce the heat absorbed by itself to a minimum.

Later, with the solar gravity, solar wind and revolution speed as parameters, Lawrence designed a stable orbit calculation formula to calculate the anchored orbit.

This is the smallest unit in the “Prometheus” plan to steal the fire-the “torch”!
