This is impossible!
With a critical attitude, Fred clicked on the video called Asteroid Mining Record on the official website of Star Ring Trade, and his expression gradually changed from disdain to suspicion, and then changed from disdain to shock.
When he saw two laser blades popping out of two robotic arms, his heart suddenly contracted.
And then, the previous sentence came into being, this is impossible!exclaimed.
The video continues to be screened.
The two light blades intertwined, and two holes were cut on the ore body without any obstacles. Then the tool turned into a knife and the large pieces of ore were peeled off from the asteroid in a few seconds.
The mechanical hammer hit the ore body, and also hit his heart. The technical strength demonstrated by the Future Mining Industry completely shattered the suspicion and disdain in his heart.
He is the editor-in-chief of the New York Times technology version. In his work in recent years, he has summarized a rule, that is, compared with the product launch conferences of Apple and Microsoft, readers seem to be more and more keen to understand what new things the Future Ren Group has made.
Since NASA announced that the Star Ring Trade dragged Benu asteroid to the Earth-Moon orbit, he has published more than a dozen articles in a row, tracking and reporting on this.
Who gave the madmen over the Pacific the power to drag three billion tons of explosives to the vicinity of our homes?
Technology must be limited, and unrestrained technology will only accelerate our destruction!This time it is 3 billion tons of explosives, so what about next time?One hundred billion tons?God will not be able to save us then!We will become extinct like dinosaurs in the hard landing of asteroids!
As the editor-in-chief of the Technology Edition, he seems to be a little wrong with these words.
But as an editor-in-chief who climbed up from a reporter, he knew very well what a journalist should say.
The seriousness and rigor of news?
No, no, that is all the old emperor's experience in the last century.
There is no future without gimmicks!
Therefore, he chose to sing a opposite tune with mainstream society.
At the same time, he also believes that he has the obligation to stand up and remind Americans who blindly pursue future technology to treat the ever-increasing man rationally.
Because of his spicy words and controversial speeches, he was even invited as a guest by a well-known American talk show and appeared on the TV show as the editor-in-chief of the Los Angeles Times.
In his computer, a document criticizing the Star Ring Trade to drag asteroids to the Earth and Moon system has been edited and can be published after he takes it back to the newspaper office.
For this document, he traveled almost all universities in Washington state, and even made a special trip to Massachusetts, finding experts in astronomy teaching at Harvard University to ask for advice, proving that mining on Benu asteroids is unrealistic and dangerous.
He is very confident about this report.
Because the Harvard professor patted his chest and assured him that even the world's top technology would only bring back a few mineral samples from Benu asteroid.
The fuel consumed by transporting ore from 400,000 kilometers away is several times more expensive than the ore collected.
It turns out that this professor has been in the laboratory for too long and can no longer keep up with the development of the times.
The video released by Star Ring Trade simply swelled Fred's face.
impossible?
Xinghuan Trade told him with practical actions what it means to turn impossible into possibility.
Fred rubbed his sore brows as he frowned silently.
Fake, what have I done in the past half month...
He devoted too much effort to this report.However, if it is published, it will be like stretching out your face and letting someone slap it again.
But if you give up like that...
Finally, he made the decision to give up this report and felt his heart was bleeding.
……
China, Beijing.
In the aerospace technology laboratory of the University of Science and Technology of China, an old professor with gray hair was staring at the images on the computer screen meticulously, and was amazed from time to time.
Standing behind him was an old man with a straight back and a majestic expression, and a middle-aged man with a national face.
The old man's name is Liu Zhusheng, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
He had just returned from Koro Island some time ago. Before he had a rest for two or three days, the old leader found him and handed a video file to him.
The picture in the video is the working video of the latest spacecraft electric ray P-1 of Star Ring Trade.
The country is very interested in the engine used by the P-1 and the laser knife for cutting ore bodies, so it found him, who is most prestigious in the aerospace field in China. I hope he can carefully study and see if he can see any clues from the video.
After watching the video more than ten times, Academician Liu sighed and forked the video off when he finally watched it for 20 times.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man standing behind him couldn't wait to ask.
How about it?Academician Liu, have you seen something?
Liu Zhusheng glanced at him, picked up the teacup next to him, moistened his throat, and spoke slowly.
If I guess correctly, their engines use electric propulsion technology.
The middle-aged man's expression was slightly moved. Just as he was about to say something, Academician Liu spoke slowly before him.
I know what you want to say is nothing more than this impossible. Electric rockets have more than one order of magnitude less thrust than chemical rockets.
But I want to tell you now that the specific impulse of electromagnetic propulsion systems is much higher than that of chemical fuel propulsion systems.Using the principle of electromagnetic acceleration, in theory, exhaust gas speeds of 1 to 2 orders of magnitude higher than those of chemical fuels can be obtained.I don't know what the spacecraft will look like in the future, but I'm sure it's impossible for the spacecraft to tie up bundles of fuel tanks to waste a lot of precious fuel on accelerating the fuel itself.
What you want to say is impossible, but our technology cannot do it.
Academician Liu's words left the middle-aged man speechless.
As the head of China Aerospace Science and Technology Group, the only one who designed the Shenzhou series is the only one who dares to talk to him like this, and he is convinced.
Although his administrative level is much higher than his, he is not as important as a tenth academician with real skills in terms of his importance to this country.
At this time, the old man who had been standing there without saying a word slowly spoke.
What about the laser knife that can cut minerals?
That's not a laser knife.Academician Liu shook his head. Although it was not something from my field, I also knew something.That thing is probably ion jet technology.By spraying ion jets of tens of thousands of degrees of high temperature, let alone ore bodies, even if a piece of depleted uranium steel is placed there, a hole will be poked out.
The old man's face changed slightly, and the shock on the middle-aged man's face became even more obvious.
This means that even if the tank is placed in front of the ion jet knife, it must be like a paper.
The old man asked in a deep voice after restraining his shock.
Taking this electric ray P-1 as an example, how big is the gap between us and them in terms of electric propulsion and ion jet technology?Is there any possibility of imitating similar equipment?
Liu Zhusheng shook his head.
Our starting point in the aerospace field is too low, and there is still a big gap compared with the United States and Russia.If you compare directly with Star Ring Trade... To be honest, this is incomparable at all.
It's incomparable...
The middle-aged man couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Although he had never imagined that the Aerospace Technology Group could develop a similar spacecraft in his hands, the answer from Senior Liu still made a deep bitterness rise in his heart.
At this moment, the majestic old man spoke again.
Strengthen cooperation with Star Ring trade, especially in the aerospace field.Since the broad prospects for the development of outer space resources have been proven, we must not be left behind in this regard.When he said this, the old man looked at the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man understood and nodded immediately.
clear!
