Chapter 431: Yang Chen's new idea

"Key, what key?"
The reporter hurriedly asked this question which might become explosive news.
But the spokesperson's face showed the mysterious expression of the most hated pretend reporters: "Sorry, no comment."
The spokesperson's voice and picture faded away. Next, the relevant background information and the announcer's introduction.
"Project Daedalus (Project-Daedalus) is a research project initiated by the British Interstellar Society from 1973 to 1978, considering the use of unmanned spacecraft to quickly detect another stellar system. The theory recommends the use of nuclear fusion rockets and only requires In 50 years, another star can be reached. Barnard’s star was chosen as one of the main targets. The name of the plan comes from the craftsman who built the Minoan maze in Greek mythology, Daedalus..."
"...The mass of the spacecraft is 54,000 tons, and the weight of the propulsion device is 50,000 tons. It is expected that after 4 years of acceleration, it will reach one-eighth the speed of light..."
"...Why fly away from the earth? Because in the eyes of scientists, the earth has a great security risk..."
"... New York University chemist Robert Shapiro argued that some serious catastrophic events are inevitable and must be prepared to "replicate" human civilization and move to other planets. This is not only a strategy to avoid human harm, but also It will allow human culture and tradition to be inherited and continued..."
"...Michael Griffin, head of NASA, said:'If humans want to survive hundreds of thousands or millions of years, they must move to other planets. We don't know when this day will be in the future. , But we believe that a large number of humans on earth will migrate to other planets!'..."
Today's news hookup is particularly strange. Generally speaking, most of the focus of news hookup is on the domestic market. International news is usually only 3 to 4 minutes. But today, just the content of this 100-year-old starship project has reached four minutes!
And the subsequent international news is still a news closely related to the Centennial Starship Program:
"According to reports, local time in the United States. February 14, 2010 at 3 pm. The US House of Representatives (The-US-House-of-Representatives) passed a bill called the "Commercial Space Launch Competition Act of the United States." -Commercial-Space-Launch-Competitiveness-Act)". The bill will provide support for commercial space mining operations by'promoting commercial exploration and commercial recovery of US citizens' space resources.' This also means that private companies are exploring space Resources and commercial use become possible."
"California representative Kevin McCarthy spoke at the US House of Representatives conference this week on the "Commercial Space Launch Competition Act". He called on people to overcome past obstacles to meet this new bill. He also believes that the United States is a The nation of the last frontier of mankind..."
"This bill states that in accordance with the international obligations of the United States and the authorization and continued supervision of the federal government. American citizens have the right to engage in commercial exploration and participate in the commercial recovery of space resources without harmful interference."
"At the same time, the bill states that any U.S. citizen has the right to discover space resources brought back to Earth."
"The bill declares that any citizen of the United States participating in the business recovery plan for asteroids or space resources has the right to obtain any resource on the asteroid or space. This includes obtaining the right to own, transport, use or sell any resource on the asteroid or space in accordance with applicable law. ."
"..."
The two news add up to a total of seven minutes.
This is unprecedented.
Although it is not explicitly stated, it is obvious. On behalf of the Chinese government, it attached great importance to this incident, so it was given such weight in the news. It even broke the previous convention.
"Wait, father, in the previous news. There was an official statement from the Foreign Ministry spokesperson at the press conference that was aimed at the US passing the "Commercial Space Launch Competition Act."
Xiao Su suddenly reminded.
"Jump to this official speech immediately."
"Yes, father."
The screen turns. A picture of the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China at the press conference:
"We see that the US House of Representatives recently passed the "Commercial Space Launch Competition Act", which mentioned that "any citizen of the United States participating in the asteroid or space resource business recovery plan has the right to obtain any resource on the asteroid or space. Applicable law obtains the right to own, transport, use or sell any resource on an asteroid or space.'"
"This is contrary to the provisions of the "Outer Space Treaty" signed in 1967."
"The "Outer Space Treaty" (Outer-Space-Treaty), also known as the "Outer Space Treaty", is the full name of "The Treaty on the Principles for All Countries to Observe and Utilize Outer Space Activities including the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies." The treaty is the foundation of international space law and is known as the'space constitution'."
"The treaty stipulates that no country can take any part of space as its own, and all countries must use outer space for peaceful purposes. The United States, as one of the signatory countries of the treaty, encourages American commercial space enterprises on the moon or 'Declared territory' on other planets."
"We believe that this statement is out of date and violates the current basic principles of human space development. We will take positive measures to urge the US to take note of this and make amendments in accordance with the Outer Space Treaty ..."
"..."
The picture dims and the video closes.
When connected in the news, Yang Chenyue found it unusual, even... even smelling some gunpowder in it.
At this time, the hero's voice came again: "Have you finished reading? Yang Chen?"
"It's finished. Today's things seem a bit unusual..."
Yang Chen thoughtfully.
"Of course it is unusual! Our government is making an unprecedented clear statement. Because, as the news said, we are stepping into the interstellar era, in this era, our country can not be left behind, only to keep up. This This statement is aimed at the United States, telling the United States, either we step into the interstellar together, or no one wants to step in!"
Perhaps for the convenience of Yang Chen, who is not a politician, I wish the hero a straightforward statement.
"But. Does our country have this ability?"
Yang Chen shook his head secretly. Fifty years ago. When the United States and the Soviet Union competed in space, China did not have the ability to obstruct it. Although China is now a lot stronger, the United States must engage in its space development. But China also has no way to obstruct it.
Therefore, Yang Chen felt the wish to speak to the hero. Is it too arrogant?
"No! We have! To be precise, Yang Chen, you have!"
I wish the hero amazing words: "You must know that the current science and technology. Even the United States wants to truly step into the interstellar age. There is still a certain distance, but why today’s news, Americans say they have got the key The key? The reason is simple. Yang Chen helped them!"
"Me?" Yang Chen's thoughts changed, and he realized in a blink of an eye: "Is it..."
"Yes! It's your reconfigurable nano-ceramic material! This material has many advantages. According to our current research results, if the spacecraft can use this material as the core of the skeleton, then the material with the same strength and the same function The weight will be reduced by at least more than half. This is a great advantage for a spacecraft that even weighs one gram!"
"It's just not enough material to really enter the interstellar, is it still not enough?"
Don't Yang Chen, who was born again from later generations, understand? Reconstructible nano-ceramics are indeed a kind of material. But now this first generation of reconfigurable nano-ceramics, in later generations, can only be used for the same general purpose as modern reinforced concrete, it is simply not qualified to be used to build space ships.
Even the more advanced and better-performing nano-ceramic materials developed by later generations still have no ability to allow humans to step into the interstellar age.
The material alone may be enough, but in order to enter the interstellar era, in addition to the materials of the spacecraft, energy technology, engine technology, life-sustaining technology, space positioning technology, communication technology, etc. are also needed. Many more.
"Yes," the voice of another person came from the end of the phone, but an expert in the military's research team: "To enter the interstellar age, only material is not enough. However, you give American help , In addition to materials, there are others."
"You mean, energy particle theory?"
"Yes! The energy particle theory is indeed a very magical theory. With the ubiquitous psionic power in the universe, we can do things that modern technology can hardly do at a small cost. The key is that this is very different Another way of thinking about modern technology. If it can be combined with modern technology, it will inevitably produce the effect of one plus one greater than two mutually promoting each other. So, the real key is still the energy particle theory you put forward."
The expert said: "We have done pre-research, cooperated with the theory of energy particles, and stepped into the many technical obstacles needed to enter the interstellar, which can be crossed at a relatively small cost. At this point, Americans with more advanced technology than us should also It can be researched. Isn’t it you who really understands the theory of energy particles? If our country has to mess with the American space journey~EbookFREE.me~ One is to restrict the export of reconfigurable nano ceramics, the other is If the energy particles do not cooperate in theory, it may indeed delay the United States."
"However, this kind of approach hurts both the enemy and the enemy, and it is not the best way. China should take a compromise with the Americans." Zhu Xiong continued next to him: "But anyway, Yang Chen’s influence is yours. is crucial."
"Relax, I will fully cooperate with the country in this regard. This can be assured." Yang Chen knew what the hero meant, and quickly promised.
"Of course we know that you will cooperate. Needless to say. In politics, Xiao Yang is still very reliable." Zhu Xiong said: "What I want to say is to restrain the United States and not to be pulled down by the United States. , China will also start a similar interplanetary exploration program. In this regard, it is Xiaoyang who needs your help the most."
"Of course, I am duty-bound." Yang Chen started, and suddenly a thought came to his mind: "Wait, I wish General Lao, I have an idea, I hope to report to the country, see if it can pass."
"You said."
"I hope to obtain permission to develop the aerospace industry." (To be continued.) Launch of new website
