Chapter 60 New Rockets and Solar Reflectors
After Zhao Huasheng expressed his conclusion, the venue fell into silence again. The head of state frowned and thought for more than ten minutes before slowly saying: "The positive response plan is the main focus, and the negative response plan is the supplement."
"These two plans will be carried out at the same time. We will carry out large-scale space launches to construct an intelligence collection network for the solar civilization. At the same time, the sunlight reflection plan will also be carried out. A large number of sunlight reflectors will enter space and strive to improve the living environment of our human beings at this moment. As for the future... let's see what kind of information we can obtain from the sun. If we really confirm that the sun civilization still has good intentions to us, then the possibility of implementing a moderate response plan in the future will not be ruled out."
The head of state did not give a clear reply, but this reply clearly stated his position. At the same time, under the circumstances, this is the most appropriate way to do so.
The core of this response plan is that when it is impossible to determine whether the other party is good or malicious, the party must first interpret the other party's behavior with the greatest malicious intention. Because only in this way can we avoid causing additional losses to the party. From the perspective of game theory, this behavior is the most reasonable.
After making the decision, the meeting discussed some implementation details of the follow-up plan. The meeting was announced until dark.
Zhao Huasheng walked out of the venue a little tiredly. 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.
"Warson, I agree with you." Wang Tang said, "Only hell is the best destination for those alien scum."
"Thank you." Zhao Huasheng said, "Is the Red Heart spacecraft OK?"
"Fortunately, the crew members are all very good. Vivika's radiation disease has been controlled and is recovering from health. The rest of the people have also been cured. Captain Ragel said when he will return to Earth and ask you to drink with you. Thank you in person for your life-saving grace." Wang Tang said with a smile.
"It's good that there is nothing to do. Please tell Ragel, just say that I'm looking forward to the day I'll drink with him."
"Don't worry, I will definitely bring you your words for you." Wang Tang said, "After that, Watson, I have always been curious about the reason why Director Li Qi chose you to take this responsibility? What did you mean by Director Li Qi at the beginning? You thought you could take this responsibility?"
"Oh," Zhao Huasheng smiled, "I didn't know much about it before I solved this puzzle, but after I confirmed that there was a civilization living above the sun, I probably understood that maybe... it was some of my speculations about the possible existence of alien civilizations that Director Li Qi and I said in a chat before."
"Oh? What is this speculation?" Wang Tang said with great interest.
Zhao Huasheng said: "It's nothing more than some wild things. For example, there may be creatures on stars. For example, the understanding of eating may be completely different from ours, or even completely opposite. At that time, he was just a young and frivolous person, and dared to think about anything, and did not care about the rationality and logic behind these things. However, he happened to be a coincidence and came up with some characteristics of plasma life. I think Director Li Qi should have created plasma life at that time and had a certain understanding, and I happened to talk about these things in a chat... So Director Li Qi gradually paid attention to me, who was just an intern at that time, and at the last moment he simply put the important task of solving the puzzle on me."
"Facts have proved that Director Li Qi is right. To solve the problems left by him, it happens to require imaginative imagination, and you just happen to have this quality."
"It's just that I'm lucky..." Zhao Huasheng said while rubbing his forehead.
At this moment, he had reached the end of the corridor. After waving goodbye to Wang Tang, Zhao Huasheng came to the car driven by Meng Zhuo.
"You can help me arrange it. I want to return to the Institute of Stellar Physics to work. I have a premonition that the way to destroy the solar civilization is hidden in the Institute." Zhao Huasheng said.
"Okay, I'll help you with the arrangements. From tomorrow, you will become the new director of the Institute of Stellar Physics, and you will preside over the overall work of the Institute." Meng Zhuo replied.
"This is the best." 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 Equator City, but in the City of Life. So Zhao Huasheng, Li Wei and Meng Zhuo also moved to the City of Life to live. Although the City of Life is tight and the resources are short of, the institute is still extremely large and perfect. More than 10,000 scientific researchers work in it every moment. Because the Institute of Stellar Physics is the forefront of fighting the solar crisis, it will inevitably receive the most abundant resource support.
The City of Life was not built into a fully enclosed urban community as planned before, because it was too expensive. Moreover, since the sun's temperature will remain at around 4,500 Kelvin and will not drop again, there is no need to build a fully enclosed city.
Although the City of Life is as cold as Equator City, it is a place where more than 80% of scientists in the entire human civilization work, so the living environment of the City of Life is still much better than that of Equator City. Zhao Huasheng and Li Wei were arranged to live in a residential building in the architectural community of the Institute of Stellar Physics.
Researching stars is Zhao Huasheng's job, and Zhao Huasheng is here and has conducted research on the sun with many scientific researchers. Zhao Huasheng seems to have forgotten the responsibilities he bears and gave up trying to find a way to destroy the sun civilization. Zhao Huasheng is just doing his job, which is just the same as the scientific researchers here.
No one knows what Zhao Huasheng is thinking, and even Li Wei doesn't know why Zhao Huasheng chose this lifestyle. But no one urged or reminded Zhao Huasheng. Because everyone knows what kind of person Zhao Huasheng is, Zhao Huasheng chose to do this, so there must be reasons why he needs to do this.
In addition to daily work, Zhao Huasheng will also pay attention to the latest progress of the scientific research department. So Zhao Huasheng knew that the latest 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, at least 30 satellites equipped with high-precision optical solar telescopes were launched into space, heading towards the sun 150 million kilometers away, and knew that the 100 solar reflector plates that had been successfully developed in the early stage were about to enter space to start their own work...
Among these information, recyclable rockets are a new type of rocket system. In the past, high launch costs have always been the biggest shortcoming that restricts humans from carrying out large-scale space activities. Among these high launch costs, rocket bodies that can only be used at one time account for a large part. Think about it, a Hercules rocket that is as long as 70 meters long and more than ten meters in diameter will contain many expensive precision instruments. Compared with these precision instruments, the fuel that drives the rocket into space is simply insufficient. However, such an expensive rocket body can only play a role once. After sending the payload into space, the rocket body will burn down during the process of falling into the atmosphere and become a pile of trashed copper and iron with little value.
The new recyclable rockets are completely different. After the 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 at the designated location of people. Therefore, these rocket bodies can be reused twice, three times, or even more times as long as they replace some necessary parts, perform some maintenance, and add new fuel. It is this new technology that greatly reduces the launch cost.
The solar reflector plates are intended to use these new rockets to launch into space. Each solar reflector plate 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 plate into space. After arriving in space, the ion engines installed on them push them to unfold, and then move to a suitable orbit, presenting a suitable angle, reflecting the sunlight that would not have been illuminated on the earth to the earth.
The first batch of 100 sunlight reflectors were set at the City of Life. So in another two months, all 100 reflectors were launched into space, and then all started working, even during the day, Zhao Huasheng raised his head and could see the 100 bright stars in the sky.
At such a close distance and extremely high albedo, their brightness is even brighter than that of Venus.
Venus is cold, and these sunlight reflectors are hot. They are constantly bringing light and warmth to the earth.
When Zhao Huasheng saw these hundreds of bright stars, Zhao Huasheng felt that something seemed to have been touched in his heart.
