"We are their slaves!!"

"--Well……"

Catherine got up from the bed.

She had a rare nightmare.

"I got up at seven in the morning, which is really rare, Kate."

When Catherine appeared in the bathroom, Elsa looked at Catherine in surprise.

"Um...had a nightmare."

All in all, it is definitely not a good thing...

"By the way, Kate, that Mr. Cheng Long has already shot the fourth film."

Elsa was talking about the news that she had just received today.

"Really? Good."

Catherine staggered up.

Cheng Long’s film is already the fourth, and Catherine killed all of the previous films.

Hmm... It’s not dead to speak of, because when he becomes famous in the future, these "black histories" are all Chapter 1069

The human cannon can be sold for money.

Think about it, the once bullish star also had such a young period. How interesting is this? !

After Catherine reviewed the film, she was finally satisfied.

Cheng Long probably already understood what he meant. In this film, Cheng Long showed a lot of artistic conceptions similar to those of later generations. The acting skills may not be good enough, but the spiritual transmission has arrived. The Cheng Long style has also been established. This is completely different from Bruce Lee's style, and Catherine can just use it as the opposite of Bruce Lee to promote it.

"That's it."

Catherine squinted and smiled.

"Wait for the summer vacation, let it be released again, that's just right."

Catherine gave Cheng Long's "Police Story" in a few words.

"Elsa, tell him what you want to shoot, first write a script to me, I think it is suitable, let him do it."

"Written and acted by yourself?"

Catherine shook her head: "I'm looking at his strength. And in the future, he still has to develop on his own."

Catherine can never be in charge of others for a lifetime...

(Well, this way. Just one Li Lianjie will be all there, um, you can play the King of Kung Fu Chapter 1069

There's a cannon in the world~)

The evil taste in Catherine's heart was exploding...

This thing passed quickly, after all. Relatively speaking, this matter is no longer so important.

Catherine is now more concerned about other areas.

Technology, space and the like.

Uh……

"Tu

esat) plan? "

When Catherine saw this sta

I was really interested in aft's submissions.

sta

Because of the high cost of satellite launching at present, aft has proposed a very meaningful innovation: changing the way of launching satellites and reducing the quality of satellite launching.

Satellites can be classified by weight: picometer satellites below 1 kilogram, nano-satellites 1-10 kilograms, micro-satellites 10-100 kilograms, small satellites 100-1000 kilograms, and general satellites above 1,000 kilograms.

"Tube Star" is a nano-miniature with a total weight of 7.5kg.

Loads and tasks suitable for tubular types include: space-to-ground video imaging, geomagnetic field mapping, satellite orientation detection (horizontal level, gyroscope, accelerometer, etc.), orbital environment measurement (temperature, pressure, radiation intensity, etc.), hardware and Software in-orbit tests (microprocessors, etc.), monitoring of migratory animals from space, testing of artificial satellite stabilization technology, biological experiments, space advertising, space art, space funerals, etc.

sta

aft company wants to create a popular business model, and Guanxing is their plan.

According to the design. The "Tube Star" will be launched into a self-degrading orbit with an altitude of approximately 310 kilometers and travel along the orbit for several weeks (the duration depends on the actual conditions of the orbit and space weather conditions). They will not join the humiliating ranks of space junk.

"The name Guan Xing doesn't work... Hmm..." Catherine translated it into Chinese in her brain, and found that it seemed to be similar to the syllable of "Guan Xing".

"Well, this plan can be changed to the stargazer plan!"

"Stargazer? Is it too much difference...?"

Elsa felt that some words were inconspicuous.

"It seems like this..." Catherine also nodded, naming it is not so simple, if you don't think about it, it is likely to make a joke.

"And tu

esat also seems good, right? "

"Um... forget it, it's just a satellite project..."

Catherine shook her head.

"But this plan is good on the surface. But in fact it still doesn't work..."

Catherine looked at the plan, but shook her head.

Simply looking at the cost of launching each satellite is indeed very low-but it is also relative.

For most people. The cost goes up, without a hundred thousand dollars, a launch is almost impossible!

"That's why...is there this?"

Catherine looked at the back, but found something more interesting: the way the satellite was launched.

"It's a cannon on earth... should I say that?"

Catherine scratched her head.

Human beings have been curious about space for countless years. However, since humans reached the peak of the moon landing, humans' exploration of space seems to be in a dilemma.

Obviously, the reality of space travel is far from science fiction.

But why is space travel unrealistic?

In the final analysis, these truths are actually very simple: money!

In this plan, it turned out to be unexpectedly wanting to use artillery to launch satellites, which can directly reduce the cost to one-tenth of the original!

Catherine was really surprised.

After reading this plan, Catherine told sta

Aft's research began to pay more attention.

"Let Hayden come over."

Mike Stowe Hayden. A mixed blood from Austria, he is also sta

aft.

Hayden was originally under the management of Nasa, but was later sta

Aft dug over, and he has become the president here recently.

"You plan to launch satellites with cannons?"

Catherine looked at the plan and asked like this at first.

"We have this plan, in fact. This is just the first step. We have a rough plan here. At the end. We plan to use electromagnetic cannons as a tool for us to land on the moon. We use cannons to launch satellites to the moon. Space is just the beginning."

Hayden said so.

"Oh? Tell me more specifically."

Catherine asked.

"If human beings want to explore space, then establishing a base on the moon will be a necessary way. Obviously, launching satellites directly from the ground into outer space is a very bad choice, because the earth’s gravity is very large and the earth’s The atmosphere is dense and has great air resistance. It is not the best choice to build a space station in the orbit of the earth satellite and use it as a base. It has at least two shortcomings: First, the outer space is not protected, and precision instruments are easily affected. Destroyed by space radiation or space junk impact; secondly, there are no building materials in the orbit of the satellite, and all materials for the construction of the base must be transported by the earth."

Hayden paused, and then continued: "The moon is a very good location for a space base. It has many advantages. It can be said that it just compensates for the shortcomings I just mentioned: the moon's gravity is only that of the earth. 1

6. It is convenient to launch satellites outwards; the moon has almost no atmosphere. The air resistance is much smaller than that of the earth; if a hole is dug on the surface of the moon and a base is built in it, the ground of the moon is an extremely good protection layer against radiation and impact, and there is no need to worry about instrument damage; at the same time. There are also abundant resources on the moon, and the resources needed to establish a base can be tapped on the spot. "

"Therefore, in order to explore space in the future, we must first set foot on the moon and establish a base on the moon. However, the key issue now is how to launch a large amount of materials to the moon, and at the same time, the economic cost is not as high as the existing rocket transportation methods. high."

The traditional rocket transportation method has many inherent shortcomings.

First of all, rocket transportation has an inherent problem. It must burn fuel to accelerate along the way. This leads to the fact that most of the fuel is used to accelerate the fuel at the beginning, and the fuel ratio of the satellite that is really accelerated at the end is very low. As a result, each launch of a satellite consumes a lot of fuel, and its price is expensive.

Secondly, the safety of rocket launches is not high. Although Nasa has been working hard to control safety, rocket launches always have an accident rate of the order of 1% that cannot be reduced.

Again, the quality of each rocket transport can only be small. If you want to transport large quantities of materials to space, this approach is not a good choice.

"So, we thought of using the cannon launch method, which can greatly reduce our costs. From the artillery launch tube star, this is just the beginning. Our ultimate goal is to achieve the use of cannon to land on the moon. ."

"However, according to calculations, it is a little difficult to use artillery to launch to the moon, but if electromagnetic acceleration devices are used, it is much simpler."

"On a very long track, there are many levels of coils arranged, and a projectile with permanent magnets installed inside these coils moves forward. The driving force is pushed and pulled by the magnetic field generated by the external coil. Our solution Here, only the effect of 4 coils on the permanent magnet is considered: the first two generate attraction force, and the latter two generate thrust force. Each coil is discharged by a large capacitor to generate current, and its discharge time and period are strictly controlled by calculation. To ensure that the four coils adjacent to the projectile are forward forces on the projectile at any time. The entire orbit is a vacuum pipe, so there is no need to consider resistance when accelerating."

"When landing on the moon, you need to slow down to land. There are many ways to slow down. If you continue to adhere to the idea of ​​not carrying fuel, you can think of such a solution: let the projectile fly along the surface of the moon. Flying tangentially, the dust with a precisely controlled density distribution is raised along the way. Its density distribution satisfies a constant force on the projectile, and the force is within its bearing range. This solution needs to be built after the base is built. Realize, before this, the most reliable way of landing should still be slowing down with fuel."

Hayden thought for a while, and added: "The main purpose of our plan is to make the launched object not use chemical fuel as the main power. The projectile does not need to carry no fuel at all. It needs to carry a small amount of fuel for fine adjustment of its course. ."

"According to our calculations, when the minimum speed of the satellite or the materials we need to transport relative to the ground is about 10km

s. As long as this speed is reached, the object can be hit to the moon by launching it at a specific angle at a specific location on the earth. "

"Your plan has begun?"

"Not yet, in fact, we are still discussing."

"Still discussing? Why? I think this plan is pretty good..."

Catherine was a little strange.

"This is not our company's plan. This is a plan that someone sent to our company. We once studied the other party's harp system and found it feasible, so we discussed with the other party for a while... This plan was given by the other party. of."

Hayden replied.

"Harp system? What is that? Wait, who gave you this plan? What is that person's name?"

Catherine asked strangely.

Hayden thought for a while. Then he said: "His name seems to be...Gillard Bull."

It's actually Gilad Bull? !

Catherine was stunned.

"Babylon Cannon?!"

Catherine almost blurted out.

But she immediately said: "This person is good, and his plan is also very good."

Catherine praised: "We can support him, we can send him to the school district to do research, or we can arrange for him to go to the sta

It's not impossible for aft to work. "

Catherine confessed for a while, let Hayden get in touch with each other, and then let Hayden leave.

"Unexpectedly, it was the guy who made the Babylonian cannon..."

Catherine really didn't expect this to be the case.

The Babylonian Cannon is a super cannon built by Iraq with the help of artillery expert Gilad Burr. This is the largest cannon ever built.

After the end of the Iran-Iraq War in 1988. Saddam found Burr, and Burr proposed the idea of ​​launching satellites with cannons. Saddam was very interested and funded Burr. After receiving funding, Burr began to build the largest cannon in history, which the Iraqis called the "Babylon Cannon."

The Babylonian cannon weighed 2,100 tons and was as long as--. This cannon can send 2 tons of rockets into space and can be used to launch satellites. Fearing that it was suspected of being sabotaged as a military weapon, Burr secretly began to study. He divided the cannon into several parts, which were manufactured by Spain, Sweden, the Netherlands and other countries. Burr first built a "Babylon" cannon as a model of the "Babylon" cannon. The gun is 40 meters long and used for flat-fire experiments.

Although this man seems to be a little unscrupulous for money, I have to say that this guy is indeed very talented.

As long as he can do research, just give this guy enough support.

For Catherine. money is not a problem……

...

Gilad Bull sat on the sofa.

Suddenly, the door was knocked.

He hurried over to open the door.

"Hello, Dr. Bull, I'm from sta

Hayden of aft. "

After being called by Catherine, Hayden immediately contacted Gilad Bull.

Using electromagnetic emission, in Hayden's view, is still a bit troublesome-too expensive.

So Hayden thought. It may be a good method to be able to use the super cannon to directly launch the artillery to the near-Earth satellite for verification.

"Welcome, please come in."

Bull let the opponent in.

Gilad Bull was a little excited, because he had an opportunity to go to the school district to study, sta

The salary given to him by aft is rich enough.

Whenever we talk about the topic of super cannon, "Paris Cannon" (World War I), "Dora Cannon" (World War II) and other early "famous cannons" always become the central topic of people's chat. In fact, in the decades after the end of World War II, artillery designers still paid attention to this abnormal "super cannon". Among them, the various super cannons developed by Dr. Bull can be regarded as typical representatives. At the same time, he also had a profound influence on the development of conventional artillery after the war with his genius invention.

The Paris Cannon is an over-range gun. It was originally named the "William Cannon" and became famous for its bombardment of Paris, hence the name "Paris Cannon". The cannon has a caliber of 210 mm and a barrel length of 34 meters. If the gun body is erected, its muzzle must exceed the roof of a 10-story building. Maximum range: 131 kilometers.

The Dora Cannon is a super-range gun, a super giant artillery secretly developed after Hitler came to power. The Dora cannon has a barrel length of 32.48 meters, a full-length caliber of 800 mm, and a total weight of 1,329 tons. This is the largest cannon in the world, with a soldier squatting down in the barrel. The Germans called this gun the "Dora Cannon". There are two types of shells it fires, one is a grenade, which weighs 4.81 tons and has a range of 47 kilometers; the other is a concrete destruction bomb. The projectile weighs 7.1 tons and has a range of 38 kilometers.

It is worth mentioning that these two cannons were used to bombard Paris...

"I have seen your plan. It is completely feasible to launch satellites into low-Earth orbit with super cannons." Hayden said to Bull.

In fact, this plan was not proposed by Boolean, but after Boolean noticed this plan to use super cannons to launch satellites. There was a strong interest in this.

Current sta

Aft supports Boolean's research for this reason.

"We studied your harp system at McGill University in Montreal, and we think this system has great potential."

"Yes, the super cannon can reduce the cost of launching satellites to one-tenth of the original cost. This is something that only artillery can do."

Bull was born in North Bay, Ontario, Canada in 1928 and ranks ninth among 10 siblings.

His mother died when he was 3 years old. When the lawyer's father ran away from home, he was brought up by his uncle. The misfortune of childhood is the sensitive feeling of Bull. A lonely and prone to anger, he is an exceptional student in school. At the age of 22. He obtained his Ph.D. degree from the University of Toronto with outstanding results, becoming the youngest doctoral degree in the history of the school. Soon, he came to the fore with outstanding artillery technology and creativity. In 1953. A Canadian science magazine called him a "juvenile rocket expert." In June 1961, he was hired as a professor of engineering at McGill University in Montreal. In 1964, Boer, who was just in his early 36s, was already the director of the Universe Institute of the university.

The research on the super cannon started here.

During his work at the Institute of Space Research, he designed a "ultra-efficient harp system" with a tube length of 40 meters and a caliber of 1000 mm, which can shoot a 2000 kg warhead into the orbit of the lower Earth. This achievement made him famous.

Bull's expression is humble, which is a bit different from his usual behavior, but after experiencing previous failures. Bull understands the truth of humility.

The U.S. Army Research and Development Department and the Canadian Department of Defense have both cooperated with Bull and proposed cooperative projects. With the strong support of the U.S. and Canadian military, Bull established a test site on Barbados in the Caribbean Sea and began a secret mission code-named the "High-altitude Flight Research Project" (harp).

In addition, with the help of the US and Canadian governments, Bull even established his own research laboratory in the hard-to-reach Quebec region. The Quebec region is close to the border between Canada and the United States, making it easy for Boer to communicate with the United States. Boolean thinks. According to the principle of force and reaction, if the projectile of a giant gun is a rocket with thrust, its range will be greatly extended. So, in a relatively short period of time, he welded the two cannons of the U.S. Navy to create a 36-meter-long cannon with a caliber of 424 mm.

In the subsequent test firing, the artillery successfully threw a 90-kilogram shell into space at a height of 180 kilometers. This cannon is also called the "Barbados" cannon because of its test site. It is said that this artillery can also fire a 100-kilogram shell to a distance of 4000 kilometers. The 214 kg rocket extended-range warhead was launched to a distance of 2,570 kilometers. A lighter weight carrier can be transported to a vertical height of more than 250 kilometers. Among the practical cannons in the world, the record held by this "Barbados" cannon has not been broken. This work laid the foundation for Boer's later "super artillery" design.

Despite the great success of the Barbados Artillery, Canadian officials abruptly announced the termination of the "High-altitude Flight Research Program" in June 1967. There are two reasons: one is that Canada is unwilling to link its space program with military engineering; the other is that both the United States and Canada believe that compared with missile systems, cannon-launched rockets are outdated.

But the main reason was that Bull himself was too arrogant and offended many people, especially some politicians.

The sudden blow left Buhl at a loss for a while, and he was very depressed for a time.

In 1968, Bull was awarded the "McDi Award" which is Canada's highest cosmological research award. Encouraged, Burr quickly cheered up, determined to go single-handedly in the arena. Develop the super cannon again. In order to raise funds for scientific research, he was even willing to sell his knowledge and technology to anyone willing to pay, but the result was unsatisfactory.

Originally Americans valued his research very much.

But in 1969, the Bretton Woods system shattered. Bull's dream turned into dust.

After the Soviet Union landed on the moon, U.S. research changed from artillery to rocket, and Boer was even less concerned.

The successive blows made Boole more mature.

After a few years of wasting years, Bull finally got his chance again.

In fact, if no one came to him anymore, Burdu had already decided to go from Canada to the Middle East. Although there is chaos there, there are more opportunities there. The term Middle East is always associated with war. On the other side, one's own technology is more likely to be valued.

Burr himself may not be clear, but in actual history, Burr was in the Iran-Iraq War. But it played a very important orange.

It was precisely because of Bohr's help that the firepower of the Iraqi artillery was greatly strengthened during the Iran-Iraq War. Finally mastered the initiative on the battlefield. According to statistics, half of Iran’s 200,000 officers and soldiers killed in the eight-year war were killed by artillery fire.

But the butterfly effect is so peculiar.

The early economic crisis caused the United States to let go of its cooperation with Boer, but the Soviet Union’s actions also diverted their attention. In the end, Boer did not have any famous weapons. Therefore, he lost a lot. The spirit of cooperation with major companies.

The wasted years. It made Bull more mature, and it also made him know how to think.

This is not the same thing in history. In the original history, as a genius artillery designer, Dr. Bull lacked a basic political vision. Even if he stumbled on this in his early years, he still did not learn his lesson. In April 1976, Burr was secretly assisted by an officer of the US Central Intelligence Agency. It signed a contract with the South African Ordnance Company, a state-owned arms manufacturing company in South Africa that was subject to an arms embargo by the United Nations because of the apartheid system, to export advanced military technology such as the -45 155mm plus howitzer. Unexpectedly, on August 25, 1977, Bull’s company was exposed by the news media due to an accident while transporting artillery shells to South Africa. This incident immediately caused an uproar in the United States, and Dr. Bull was involved. Since then, Bull was charged with arms smuggling and sentenced to six months in prison. His company was also forced to declare bankruptcy.

Develop ultra-long-range unconventional weapons that can launch small and medium-sized satellites.

This is a subject that Boolean got in this era.

"You know, we sta

Aft is committed to the management of space products, but space products must be in space. "

"Yes, I understand. So please watch this."

Bull showed his plan.

Bull divided his plan into three parts. The first part is to send satellites into low-Earth orbit. On this, Bull proposed a super artillery with a caliber of one meter, which can send satellites into space... As for the following series of formulas and arguments, Hayden could not understand.

But he is not looking at the formula.

Bull’s second plan is to launch small rockets through super artillery, so that satellites can be launched to farther orbits, and small rockets will also help the next research-after all, the accuracy of the artillery. Compared with the Rockets, there is a big gap.

It’s okay to send things into low-Earth orbit, but the problem is how to get this stuff into the orbit that people want them to enter.

In the third part of the plan, Burr envisaged the development of a new type of electromagnetic cannon and the plan to send satellites into lunar orbit. This is also the document Catherine saw.

Although the gunpowder is very good, in the future, this kind of cannon will inevitably be eliminated, and the electromagnetic cannon represents another way...

Boolean originally did not consider electromagnetic cannons, but when using artillery to launch into the moon, Boolean performed calculations, but the results developed. This does not seem to be an easy thing to do.

Burr racked his brains for this.

At this time, Bull saw some people's conjectures about electromagnetic weapons on the Internet.

Although Boolean was not in this profession, Boolean soon discovered that this seemed to be a good way.

Bull then proposed an alternative to using electromagnetic cannons.

...

When Hayden approached Bull, Catherine was also looking for someone to calculate the feasibility of using electromagnetic cannons.

Catherine needs to calculate the maximum acceleration that can be achieved with existing technology.

"We take the magnetic field as 20t, and the maximum magnetic field generated by capacitor discharge can reach the order of 10t, and the sustaining time is on the order of seconds... Then, the magnetic field can reach 5t, and it only needs to be maintained on the order of seconds... "

For example, the mass of the projectile is 10 tons, the coil spacing is 1m, and so on. It can be calculated that the acceleration at this time can reach about 9. From the final speed and acceleration, the length of the track to be built can be determined: about 5000 meters.

Catherine roughly came to such a conclusion.

This is indeed a very long distance, but it is not infeasible, as long as it depends on the high mountains and builds diagonally. When necessary, you need to drill holes underground, and that's it.

Moreover, as long as the magnetic field or capacitor discharge current is doubled, or the load becomes half of the original, the distance can be shortened to half.

"Our moon project needs a place long enough...maybe there are tens of billions of funds."

Catherine touched her chin.

But this plan is not without benefits.

This is a once-and-for-all project, once it is built. The launch cost in the future will be very low, and the launch frequency will be very high. The cost of each launch is nothing more than the electrical energy consumed by the capacitor discharge and the production cost of the permanent magnet being projected. The cost of electricity is completely negligible, and the cost of permanent magnets is still unknown, but if mass production is possible in the future, its cost will also drop.

In other words, with this thing. That means landing on the moon is the construction of a lunar base, with a reliable supply station.

"If there are high-temperature superconductors that can be used, it would be even better..."

Catherine touched her chin and sighed.

The projected permanent magnet can also be replaced with a superconducting coil. The magnetic induction intensity generated in this way can also be large enough. The magnetic field of the tokmak device in the 21st century is produced by the superconducting coil, and its intensity can reach the order of 10t. If a superconducting coil is used, because the launch time is very short, there is no need to worry too much about the maintenance of liquid helium or liquid nitrogen. If the high-temperature superconductor of the 21st century is used, the cost is obviously much smaller than the cost of each rocket launch.

But so far, the best superconductor in the world is still a niobium-germanium alloy with a critical superconducting temperature of 23.2 degrees Kelvin, which is minus 249.95 degrees Celsius.

"But we can find someone to help... well. The federal government is fine."

Catherine squinted her eyes.

The power of the country is still good. If you can use the power of this country, you can get twice the result with half the effort.

And digging a pit is not much worse. For a five-kilometer tunnel, just refer to the subway, and the cost is not high.

The lunar plan is completely feasible.

At least in Catherine's opinion. This is a plan without any problems.

If you want to build a lunar base, you must first reduce the cost.

Why did Nixon repeatedly want to discontinue the moon landing plan?

Isn't it because the moon landing plan is too expensive? !

But Catherine's plan is different. A one-time plan can bring about a low-cost launch platform for the next ten or even decades!

"Hey, it would be great if you could build an earth cannon, just fire it directly from the center of the earth..."

Catherine curled her lips, the earth cannon is full!

"Let’s start with the artillery first!"

Catherine thought for a long time, and decided to start by launching satellites with artillery.

The launch of artillery satellites is something that has been demonstrated in the 21st century.

Of course, the technology was more advanced back then-people thought about launching in air.

In theory, this is a completely achievable way.

It's just that in terms of reality, no one has put it into practice yet.

Catherine’s current consideration is to first realize the action of the artillery launching satellites, and then Catherine can use this plan to seduce the Pentagon and Nasa. When the plan is completely seduced, Catherine will be able to throw out the next plan. .

But artillery has its limits. Catherine can take advantage of the opportunity to propose the method of launching the electromagnetic cannon. When the time comes, Catherine can propose her own plan.

The plan to build a tens of billions of launch platforms does seem crazy, but on average over 20 years, it is only a few hundred million dollars a year.

Catherine did not look at these developments from the point of view of money. What Catherine observed was the future of this thing.

"So be it!"

Catherine has made up her mind, no matter what, space technology must be developed first.

At the expense of every dollar of the Pentagon, Catherine has to realize her dream of space!

"Elsa~lightnovelpub.net~Do you know what my dream is?"

Catherine asked Elsa with a look of intoxication.

"Eating and waiting to die, fooling around in this world."

Elsa said casually.

Catherine gushed out a mouthful of old blood...

"No! I am someone who has escaped the low-level taste!"

"Then what is your plan?"

"When I have a Star Destroyer, I will sit on it every day. Whenever I feel bad, I will send a shot to the earth..."

...
