Chapter 449 Interstellar Rail Concept

"The problem is described as follows:

To build a space base based on the moon, material transportation issues must be considered. A factory floating in space will be the most important base for expert companies in the future. However, the factory in space also leads to inconvenience in material transportation.

Whether it is daily necessities or factory production materials, it is a huge difficulty.

At present, conventional transportation methods are nothing more than space shuttles. But now there is a big problem. There is no air on the moon. Vertical take-off and landing technology can only take-off and land at a small tonnage; the only thing that has a huge tonnage is the technology that can accelerate the runway over tens of thousands of meters, because this consumes the lowest energy.

However, these problems are still possible when there is a small mass production; however, large mass production will consume too much energy. Even if this is remembered, it is still difficult to ignore over time! Therefore, in the long run, it is not desirable!

Therefore, we should design an excellent, cheap, convenient and easy-to-operate transportation method!”

After Zhang Jingyuan finished reading, he turned to look at Zhao Weimin, "How did these questions come about?"

"Sometimes ago, someone said that there were many loopholes in the space program. In the end, a student told me why not a vote was made. In the end, more than 300 problems were selected after voting. Before that, more than 200 problems had been solved."

"Yeah. Not bad. Have you given corresponding rewards to those who make suggestions?"

"Of course, each person can range from 100,000 to 10 million. The company has never been stingy in this regard." Zhao Weimin was also a little proud of this.

"Okay. But for those who solve the problem, you should give a reward."

"Ha. Boss, don't worry. The price has been clearly marked before this. There are corresponding prices to solve every problem!"

"..." Zhang Jingyuan was speechless now, feeling that he should be a little out... But now he also understood why there are so many people here, almost involving various departments of the expert company. It seems that the reward is amazing! However, Zhang Jingyuan supports this instead!

"Let's go and do it." Zhang Jingyuan patted Zhao Weimin on the shoulder. Although Zhao Weimin was very calm, Zhang Jingyuan could still see a little nervousness. After all, this is spending money! Spending money is always more rare than making money! This is the basic rule within a company.

"Thank you, boss!" Zhao Weimin's voice was very loud! But there was a sense of relief and arrogance, as well as a sincere gratitude.

Then Zhang Jingyuan continued to sit back to his original position, saying that he would leave the scene to Zhao Weimin and he would not interfere again. With the previous intervention, Zhang Jingyuan was so excited that he could not interfere with Zhao Weimin's planning of the seminar. Moreover, because of Zhang Jingyuan's performance, the seminar even pushed to the peak.

"Teacher Zhao. I think this thing can be completely used as an elevator? Someone once proposed to establish an elevator between the earth and the space base to transport materials. However, because the earth's gravity is too great, it has to give up.

But the moon is totally OK! But this requires a little change, just a little bit... Oh, it's really a little bit...

I did a rough simulation calculation.

Elevators can be used. But one thing needs to be paid attention to is that space factories must orbit the moon so that they will not fall on the moon.

To allow the space factory to orbit the moon, it must be made to have a speed of at least 1.32 kilometers per second, which is about 200 kilometers away from the moon. It takes 2.56 hours to orbit the moon.

However, to build an elevator, it will inevitably lead to a problem: the elevator must be fixed to the ground. Otherwise, it cannot be fixed; after all, the elevator must be connected to the ground.

In order to solve this problem, I considered the problem of combining elevators and guide rails. That is, the guide rails are the pillars of the elevator, and the elevator carriages are changed by containers.

This guide rail is very strong. It will stand on the ground of the moon and use semi-flexible technology to build a super guide rail that can moderately change the direction of the shooting. We need to use this guide rail and electromagnetic guide rail technology to send the container to space, so that the containers that enter space have the same height, same speed, and same direction as the space factory, and the orbits are slightly staggered to prevent collisions.

Then, the space factory can use robotic arms to capture these containers during the circumference.

Of course, in order to save energy, I think it is necessary to process all ore resources on the moon ground. If possible, it can be directly made into steel ingots and sent directly to space. Of course, those copper, aluminum and other metals that cannot be magnetized need to be used for containers!

Of course, I just did a rough calculation. The rail design is amazing, so I won’t show off my skills, so I will do it with professional engineers.

In short, this is a guide rail, but it is also a strange elevator. It needs to combine the two technologies. It also involves the technology and parameters of launching satellites."

"Okay!" Everyone looked at the person who was present with admiration. Who would have thought that the person who came up with this solution was actually a student from a master company, Shenlan Middle School - she was wearing school uniforms!

At the same time, on the virtual three-dimensional screen, a demonstration diagram expresses the young man's opinion in detail: the huge rail is installed inclined on the surface of the moon at an angle of 45°; the huge container is sent out; when it reaches space, it just reaches the apex of the parabola, and the rising speed has been offset by gravity, but the horizontal speed just reaches the orbiting speed, which also offsets the moon's gravity. Then these containers are relatively stationary with the space factory, waiting for the capture of the robotic arms or small aircraft in the factory.

"It's wonderful!"

Zhang Jingyuan looked at this young man. He looked about 16 years old. This is the new generation of the expert company! But it can be seen that they already have the ability to stand on their own.

"Young man, can you introduce yourself?" Zhao Weimin satisfied everyone's curiosity.

"Yes! My name is Liu Kaixing! I am 15 years old this year, and my dad is Liu Haibo!"

Oh, too...my dad is...this has almost become a prefix for cheating. But today everyone looked at Liu Haibo with envy. There is no problem with such a son!

"Okay." Zhao Weimin looked at Liu Haibo with envy in his eyes, "Xiaoxing, according to the regulations of the expert company, you will now be responsible for the design of the guide rails in space. Are you willing?"

"Ah...but, there are many things I don't understand." After all, Liu Haixing was still a little boyish, "And my goal is to be the main force of interstellar exploration like my father!"

"Oh, that's it. But becoming a guide rail designer cannot delay you becoming the main force of space exploration. You must know that as long as the guide rail is completed early, we will have a powerful space factory, a powerful space vehicle, and you will be able to explore space earlier." Zhao Weimin's induced step by step, but it was a correct and powerful induction. Liu Haibo was also satisfied.

"Then... well. But, there are some things I don't understand..."

"Haha, Xiaoxing. I'll tell you a story.

Cough cough..." Zhao Weimin coughed, and his voice pretended to be heavy. "I, Zhao Weimin, really has nothing. I didn't go to junior high school after graduating from elementary school. But I now have several hundred million yuan in assets! There are master's and doctoral students working for me, postdoctoral students warming my bed, walking, graduate students driving, and college students sweeping the floor at home.

I have money in my hands, that's enough!"

"Puchi..." Many people laughed. Zhao Weimin was really a little funny, which made everyone laugh. But the words were rough but not rough. Such things are everywhere in society.

Then, Zhao Weimin turned to Liu Kaixing, "What a little guy, have you figured it out?"

"But, but I don't have money." Liu Kaixing was so dizzy that he was smashed by this metaphor...

"No! You have it! Just because you can independently assume the head of a key department of a master company, you have this qualification. As long as you shout in society, some experts will come to work for you. This is your greatest wealth!"

"But, I haven't graduated yet. After graduation, I still want to study at Xinghai University, a master's company."

"Then just study together. Anyway, when you reach the university stage, it is mainly practice."

"Oh, then, I accept it."

"Babababa..." warm applause rang out. The first main department head of the expert company was a minor! And it was a student! Everyone gave warm applause. Perhaps, this was a major turning point for the expert company: the new generation has finally risen!
Chapter completed!
