Hand rubbing nuclear fusion live in the wilderness

Chapter 352 Encountering a Magnetic Storm
After receiving the news, Chen Zhenghua, the leader of the special operations team, returned to the capital immediately, and informed the top leaders and leaders of relevant ministries and commissions about the matter.

A related meeting was called urgently.

It is really a sad thing that infrastructure construction cannot keep up with technological upgrading.

Judging from the situation collected in the live broadcast, there is absolutely no need to continue to lay out photovoltaic power plants.

Judging from the anchor's words, it is certain that the controllable nuclear fusion technology will be broadcast live next time.

A year and a half, even if you count the live broadcast time and the time for them to thoroughly understand the technology, it is only a few years.

And the current thermal power, nuclear power, hydropower, photovoltaic power generation and so on can fully supply the upper power consumption.

Even if oil and coal are removed from the main power supply, even if the country is now cleaning up fuel vehicles and developing new energy vehicles, there will be no problem.

Because the withdrawal of thermal power plants has only just begun to be implemented, some of the thermal power plants currently being cleared belong to those that were originally scheduled to be cleared, but the time has come a little earlier.

After all, things related to people's livelihood and all aspects of industry cannot be reckless. How many thermal power plants have been demolished, the lack of power must be made up from other sources before demolition.

However, since it is certain that nuclear fusion technology will appear, the construction of photovoltaic power plants in the northwest desert must be suspended.

As for the ones that have been built so far, they can be used for power supply in the northwest region.

The industry in the northwest region can be rapidly improved with the help of this batch of photovoltaic electric fields with high photoelectric conversion efficiency.

Cheap electricity can drive too many industries.

The transformation of the entire society has always started with energy.

Human civilization has developed from ancient times to the present, and there are actually only two things that have truly changed human society and technology.

One is that humans have mastered fire energy, and the other is mastered by electrical energy.

Energy is the basis of any scientific and technological revolution for mankind.

In addition to these, another decision of this emergency meeting is to expand the construction of nuclear fission power stations by taking advantage of the two years when nuclear fusion technology has not yet come out.

Because the 'radioisotope thermocouple generator' technology obtained from the Shennongjia base site can be applied not only to nuclear fission power generation, but also to nuclear fusion power generation.

No one knows whether there will be supporting thermoelectric conversion technology when the later anchor broadcasts nuclear fusion technology.

However, according to the long-term observation of the special operations team, in the past live broadcasts of this anchor, due to the lack of manpower, many technologies were mixed.

In many of the equipment and machinery he made in the past, we can see the coexistence of some black technology and primitive technology.

It's like he can use the ultra-high-tech electric propulsion-no propellant engine to send the aircraft into the sky, but use an extremely simple control system to control it.

Perhaps in the following live broadcast, he may use the technology of "boiling water" for controllable fusion power generation.

If this is the case, then Huaguo, which has mastered the technology of 'radioisotope thermocouple generator', will be ahead of other countries.

This is a huge advantage, and no one would dislike a more efficient way of generating electricity.

In the live broadcast room, after Han Yuan chatted with netizens to pass the time, the first wrong command appeared on the screen.

This drew his attention back.

"Preset order 41 executed."

"Error, the detection height has not reached the specified index, and the execution of Order No. 41 is suspended."

"The data detection is complete, and the altitude reaches the designated target, and the preset order 41-2-1 is executed."

"."

This is a log feedback that the flight altitude of the space shuttle did not reach the standard, resulting in the unsuccessful execution of the command.

Won glanced at this log and knew that when this error command log appeared, the zero space shuttle was at an altitude of about 30 kilometers.

This location belongs to the stratosphere.

And it belongs to the relatively special air layer 'ozone layer' in the stratosphere.

To be precise, it should have just broken through the ozone layer.

The ozone layer, this is a term that everyone is familiar with, it is like a barrier that protects the living things on the earth from the sun's ultraviolet rays and high-energy particles.

At the beginning, a hole in the ozone layer was broken in Antarctica, which attracted the attention of the whole world.

After learning about this height, Han Yuan immediately speculated on the possibility of a command execution error.

It may be that the space shuttle encountered a magnetic storm after breaking through the ozone layer, which caused some interference to the electric propulsion-free propellant engine.

After all, the foundation of an electric propulsion engine lies in the core electric and magnetic fields, which are the key points for it to generate huge thrust.

If it is subject to strong magnetic interference, it will indeed have an impact.

There are two types of sources that can generate high-speed solar wind and induce a strong southward component of the interplanetary magnetic field, turning into magnetic storms.

One is the solar coronal mass ejection, and the other is the solar coronal hole.

No matter which way the magnetic storm is generated, it is impossible to predict the current Korean won.

Fortunately, the black technology provided by the system is reliable enough. As long as it does not encounter a super-strong magnetic storm caused by an explosion of super-large solar super-activity, the electric propulsion engine is still no problem and can withstand it.

After seeing this error command log, Han Yuan stared at the display screen for a moment.

He knew that if the space shuttle encountered a magnetic storm, there must be an error in the execution of the next command.

Sure enough, after a while, another error command log was sent back on the display.

"Preset order 43 executed."

"Error, the detection height has not reached the specified index, and the execution of Order No. 43 is suspended."

"The data detection is complete, and the altitude reaches the designated target, and the preset order 43-1-7 is executed."

"."

After 42 preset orders, the 43rd preset order also had insufficient height when it was executed.

Seeing this error command log further confirmed that his guess was correct. Han Yuan knew that his previous guess was more than [-]% correct.

Although it is relatively rare for the space shuttle to encounter a magnetic storm after exceeding the height of the ozone layer, it is indeed something that may be encountered.

Sometimes the area of ​​the magnetic storm will be very large and strong, affecting a large area, and even blocking satellite signals.

But generally speaking, magnetic storms do not last too long under normal circumstances, unless they encounter continuous solar activity.

Otherwise, when the space shuttle and the magnetic storm field itself are moving at high speed, it will pass quickly.

However, when Zero passes through the magnetic storm field, it will affect the output power of the electric propulsion engine to a certain extent, but this does not affect the normal launch of the space shuttle. So many backup commands are prepared for such and such situations .

A magnetic storm, like a small setback in life, made Han Yuan a little worried, but after judging the problem point through the log file, and the follow-up log returned to normal, he relaxed again.

After more than two hours of climbing, the space shuttle has reached an altitude of [-] kilometers.

This is the top of the middle layer, and further up is the warm layer with extremely sparse atmosphere.

Of course, the height of the mesosphere varies from place to place on the earth. Like it is near the equator now, the mesosphere may extend to about [-] kilometers.

In the case of the North and South Poles, the height of the middle layer may be only [-] kilometers.

Space Shuttle Zero stayed at an altitude of [-] kilometers, and the preset commands stored in the function chip were activated one by one, and began to check the overall condition of the aircraft.

And all the data checked were passed back and displayed on the screen.

"Current sailing altitude: 80.12 kilometers"

"Current power reserve: 98.912%."

"Current liquid xenon working fluid remaining: 99.999%."

"Current solar panel temperature: -12°C."

"The current highest surface temperature of the spacecraft: -27°C."

"Current electric propulsion-free working fluid engine operating status: normal."

"Current operating status of the electromagnetic propulsion system: standby."

"."

Because the preset command will execute the command without interval when it is stopped for inspection, so the feedback data is continuously swiped on the display screen one by one.

Only when the inspection data is consistent with the preset data and everything is ready, the function chip in the space shuttle will start the next command.

This process took 24 minutes, and the logs that had flowed through before suddenly disappeared.

On the display, a new log file appears.

"Preset order 72 executed."

"Execution result: successful, the current flight state switching is completed, the electromagnetic propulsion system has been activated, the electric energy reserve: 99.999%, the power supply is stable, and the current electric propulsion-free working fluid engine output power is 41.23%."

"."

A key order was executed, and Han Yuan heaved a sigh of relief.

If someone can be near the space shuttle, they can see that the huge space shuttle is like an arc, from slow to fast, like the distant sky.

Switching the flight mode will make the space shuttle, which was originally parallel to the ground, gradually become perpendicular to the ground, just like a launch vehicle.

This is prepared to fight against the gravity of the earth in the warm layer and increase the speed to the first cosmic speed.

Because after reaching an altitude of more than [-] kilometers, the atmospheric density of the outside world will no longer be able to provide enough working fluid for the electric propulsion-free fluid engine, even if there is an efficient gas collection device.

Therefore, when the electric propulsion engine cannot be used, sufficient power can only be provided by the electromagnetic propulsion system.

Although the electromagnetic propulsion system can also provide sufficient power to send the space shuttle vertically into space, it does not meet the requirements for satellites to enter orbit, and the consumption of working fluid will increase a lot when going vertically.

Above the warm layer, although the atmosphere is thin, it still exists. The larger the area, the greater the air resistance it will suffer.

In addition, in addition to the electric propulsion engine at the bottom of the space shuttle, there is also a window for launching satellites, and there is no place to install an electromagnetic propulsion system.

So after comprehensive consideration, I finally chose to switch the flight mode to climb the last [-] kilometers.

But then again, like him, in order to send satellites into the sky, six main engines are installed on the space shuttle, which are still two different types, and it is also unprecedented.

A typical space shuttle, even one that uses fossil fuels, has only three main engines.

Of course, other small engines are not taken into account.

After breaking away from the gravity of the earth, there will be as many as dozens of small engines on a space shuttle for functions such as orbit maintenance, orbit change, return braking, and attitude control.

For example, the space shuttle Atlantis in the United States has three main engines and 49 small engines.

This kind of small aerospace engine is also available on the Zero, but there are only six of them.

Because it doesn't need to perform such complicated tasks, it only needs to go back and forth between the ground and low-Earth orbit.

For some other functions, the electromagnetic propulsion engine at the rear uses a vector nozzle, which can perform some basic adjustments by itself.

Where the electromagnetic propulsion engine cannot be adjusted, such as the adjustment of the wing angle during low-Earth orbit flight and the reversal of the flight attitude, small engines need to be used.

Aerospace experts can consider these things, and so can the South Korean won.

When the flight mode of Space Shuttle Zero is switched, the time required to climb from an altitude of 160 kilometers to a low-Earth orbit of [-] kilometers is much shorter.

The logs fed back on the display are also denser and faster than the previous flight under the warm layer.

If there is a synchronously flying spacecraft near No. [-], it will be found that No. [-]'s launch angle is the same as that of the launch vehicle.

The launch vehicle takes off perpendicular to the ground, and then turns into a quarter-circle arc at a certain height.

The same is true for No. [-], except that the part perpendicular to the ground is far longer than the launch vehicle, and can last to an altitude of [-] kilometers.

The constantly increasing speed of the space shuttle swept across the sky with a light blue tail flame, and the videos and pictures that were continuously sent back allowed Han Yuan and the audience in the live broadcast room to see the beautiful scenery of this simulated planet.

Although the photoelectric remote sensor applied to the reconnaissance satellite has not yet been used, the picture fed back by the optical lens in the primary optical application knowledge information is not weaker than the photoelectric conversion map.

Coupled with the ultra-high-definition color filters applied to the display screen, the video fed back by the space shuttle is extremely beautiful, especially the distinctive white clouds and the vast and boundless deep blue ocean.

Although it was not the first time that the Korean won and the audience in the live broadcast room had watched it, they were still shocked.

【What a nice view. 】

【Very pretty. 】

【Mom, I'm a little afraid of heights. 】

[Seeing this, I want to go to heaven. 】

[I hope that I can also see what the earth is like in my lifetime. 】

[It's coming soon, with this anchor here, it is estimated that within ten years, mankind will be able to develop into a space civilization. 】

[Upstairs, I can tell you what the earth is like, it is round!round! 】

[That’s why the host’s planet has no industrial pollution, so it’s so beautiful. In fact, our earth looks gray in the sky, with a yellowish brown color. Those photos on the Internet are actually photoshopped. 】

[No way, if the industry wants to develop, it will definitely pollute the environment, and it will be fine in the future. 】

In the live broadcast room, there was a lot of discussion, and Han Yuan also said a few words from time to time.

For human beings, industrial development and environmental pollution are eternal topics. Even if the law prohibits super-pollution discharge, it will not change the fact that some people secretly discharge high-pollution waste water.

The speed of the space shuttle climbed very fast, and the height information transmitted back on the display screen was constantly changing.

More than ten minutes passed quickly, and a crisp voice sounded in the control room.

"Ding, the space shuttle successfully entered orbit!"
