Chapter 383: He is waking up
The title of "Light Speed Spaceship Project Team" almost shocked Sean and others.
Because the Solar System has never made public the research and design of dynamic light-speed spacecraft.
Sean's classmate Mulun first reacted: "Teacher Ryder, do we already have our own light-speed spacecraft?"
Then the question started to rise and fall: "Teacher Ryder, what kind of power drive does our light-speed spacecraft use?"
“When did this study start?”
Ryder smiled and raised his hands and pressed against everyone: "Everyone asked one by one."
Then he began to answer: "The first light-speed spacecraft is still in the design, and I am mainly responsible for the design of the engine.
"The General Design Department estimates that our first light-speed spacecraft will be able to conduct trial sailing within thirty years.
"Our spacecraft uses a curvature engine. I joined the project team in 46 years of deterrence. At that time, the project team had been doing basic theoretical research for more than 30 years.
"The research work started with Deterrence 13 and was originally led by Professor He Shanqi."
Everyone was stunned and started so early! And at such a fast speed, they had reached the stage of application and had almost no detours!
Immediately afterwards, everyone noticed that the people here were unfamiliar with the name He Shanqi.
Ryder understood everyone's thoughts from everyone's expressions, and he sighed: "Professor He Shanqi is a well-known physicist who deterred the early years.
“For sixty years, he has devoted all his time to the Lightspeed Spacecraft project so that you have never heard of his name!
"But what I want to tell you is that he is the only co-winner of the "Bai Xiangdong Medal" and "Bill Medal" in the Solar System."
The two medals Ryder mentioned are the highest medals of honor in the scientific community of the solar system.
The "Bai Xiangdong Medal" was named after Bai Xiangdong, the founder of genetic technology, which is unique to the world in the solar system. Those who received the medal must have achieved huge scientific research or theoretical achievements in the field they are engaged in.
The "Bill Medal" was named after Bill, the executor of the "Moon City Plan" proposed by the wall-faced person in the early years of the crisis. The winner must have created great achievements in science that led the future of the Solar System or mankind.
In the published information, only 16 people have won the "Bai Xiangdong Medal" and only 5 people have won the "Bill Medal".
Only today did Sean and others find out that someone had won these two medals alone.
Ryder also said: "The light-speed spacecraft has such a high level of confidentiality to avoid being obtained by Tomoko.
"Although the Three-Body Stars also have the ability to navigate at the speed of light, the research on the light-speed spacecraft cannot be leaked, so as to avoid being destroyed by the Three-Body Stars, or to let them be prepared.
"At present, this is still the highest secret of the solar system."
He paused and continued: "The research results of the light-speed spacecraft are the result of more than half a century of hard work in the research team of more than 60,000 people.
"This achievement may not be announced in my lifetime, and I cannot enjoy the glory that these achievements bring to me.
“But I don’t regret being part of this project team.
"If you are also ready to participate, please be mentally prepared for this."
Everyone suddenly fell silent and felt the greatness of these confidential projects' scientific researchers.
More than an hour later, the spacecraft arrived at the Space City of the Academy of Sciences.
This space city is like a beacon in the human scientific community, always in the highest and brightest position. Even when the Three-Body Star people provide advanced technology to mankind, it cannot conceal its light.
Unlike ordinary military or civilian space cities, this space city extends from the main city in the middle, with a bit like snowflakes and radial vines from a distance.
This is because many experiments require special environments, and many experiments are very dangerous and must be closed.
Over time, more and more such experiments have become, and the Space City of the Academy of Sciences has become what it is now.
Sean and others saw the scene in the main urban area of the Academy of Sciences in the news.
The population density here is not large, so the greening area is large, and there is even a small forest.
Many of the most advanced science and technology are applied in this city, where you can see all kinds of intelligent robots and strange-looking means of transportation.
Of course, what you can see everywhere is the benches on the roadside, and scientific researchers who can fall into deep thought at any time.
The place extending outside the main city is as simple as a warship, without any greenery or decorations, and there are only cold passages and doors that are exactly the same in shape.
Here, Sean and the others visited the model of the first human curvature spacecraft and listened to Ryder telling the principles of the curvature engine and the difficulties they are facing now.
The subsequent visit gave them a new understanding of the solar system country.
In addition to the light-speed spacecraft, the Academy is also studying the next generation of nuclear-motivated engines: material flow engines.
It is said that the name of the engine comes from the wall-facing Jiang Yu.
There are also the Wandering Earth Plan, Sentinel Plan, etc. They have a comprehensive understanding of the plans of the Solar System nation to deal with everyone in the dark forest.
In the future, humans will ride on Earth and light-speed spacecraft to escape from the solar system in batches.
In terms of cutting-edge physical materials, researchers have found that the properties of dark matter are different. Now it is roughly divided into two types: one is a substance that easily affects gravity transmission, and the other is a substance with extremely high energy.
When visiting the physical materials project team, they also met Yang Dong, the wife of Jiang Yu, the wall-faced man.
She is famous in the scientific community and is an idol to many people.
Next is a visit to the artificial intelligence area, and lunch with Jiang Shiliu, an intelligent master from the Solar System country, in the employee restaurant.
Jiang Shiliu introduced to everyone that future warships will be able to control them with only twelve crew members, and in the next half century, all physical labor will be contracted by artificial intelligence.
Human beings will completely enter an era of mental labor.
Of course, the interstellar immigration may delay this time, but this era will come sooner or later.
This is a necessary stage for human beings, and human life will undergo tremendous changes.
In the afternoon, Sean and others first visited the most advanced genetic engineering progress. Although the popularization of genetic technology has stopped, research on biological aspects has been underway.
During the visit, Sean and others had the concepts of the Tertiary and Quaternary life forms, as well as the concepts of "the origin of life" and the power contained in life.
In the study area of the Tertiary life form, there is a forbidden area for visitors. The staff said that it was the cultivation area of No. 7 bacteria. This bacteria has extremely strong lethality and has been strictly sealed.
Because there were so many projects to visit, they accelerated their pace and visited more than a dozen high-end industrial and agricultural technologies like a revolving lantern.
These studies have long left PDC several streets, and even have a gap of more than half a century.
After a day of visit, although it was overwhelming, Sean and others saw the true face of the Solar System Kingdom and their huge investment in technology.
It is even stronger than the outside world's understanding of the solar system nation than they expected.
Without exception, on the way back, they all decided to join the work of dealing with the dark forest strikes, and they would be assigned to departments that would either research or do specific implementation work.
In the next two years, three more discussion groups were officially disbanded.
The best among them also have similar arrangements like Sean and others.
Chapter completed!
