Qingquan Technology has a very tight blockade of quantum foam weapons. Liu Qingquan sets the encryption level to SSS level. There are very few people who have permission to know it internally because this thing is really important, especially if it can restrain nuclear weapons. If the news leaks out, it will easily cause global shocks and break the hard-won subtle balance now.
Although scientists from the Quantum Research Center who have developed quantum foam weapons were a little unhappy at this time, they could not announce it loudly to the world with major achievements, and they should also hide it.
However, Liu Qingquan will not lose a lot of contributions. The scientists at the Center for Quantum Research have all been upgraded to the level. Liu Qingquan has never been stingy with the ability to give a salary increase, but all this is quietly and there is no statement.
"Jingbo, I'm sorry for everyone for the time being!" At the commendation meeting, Liu Qingquan said embarrassedly to Zhou Jingbo.
"Boss, what's the matter? Just treat us to a midnight snack more!" Zhou Jingbo said distractedly. He also knew the importance of this quantum foam weapon, so he would not be surprised at all when Liu Qingquan was strictly blocked.
"Haha, it's easy to say!" Liu Qingquan naturally agreed happily.
On the other hand, Qingquan Technology Chang'an Space City, the old factory area, Jiang Zhipeng is leading hundreds of scientists to discuss something fiercely.
"Everyone think about it. If a spacecraft wants to fly in the universe for decades, or even hundreds of years, what should we pay attention to here?" Jiang Zhipeng was also very troubled at this time because he received a very headache-inducing mission, designing and building unmanned exploration spacecraft, all of which should be used to launch into galaxies near the solar system.
The future of Qingquan Technology is in the universe and space. Naturally, we must prepare for the future exploration of extragalactics early, but the distance between galaxies is calculated over light years. How many years does light have to go? It can be imagined how far the distance is, and it takes a very long time.
What are the galaxies near the solar system? How far are they? According to the distance from the solar system, the stellar systems near the solar system are;
1. Centaurus, 4.3 light years away from the solar system, has three stars, called Centaurus ABC.
2. Canis Big Galaxy is 8.6 light years away from the solar system. Its star is called Sirius.
3. The Little Dog galaxy is 11 light years away from the solar system. Its star is called Nanhe San.
4. Aquila galaxy is 16 light years away from the solar system. Its star is called Arkham (Author: It is really called Arkham, it was not what I gilded myself. Coincidence, it is purely a coincidence~~)
5. The Southern Fish Galaxy is 22 light years away from the solar system. Its star is called Beiluoshimen (a strange star name).
6. The Lyra galaxy is 25 light-years away from the solar system. Its star is called Vega.
7. The Madhya galaxy is 30 light years away from the solar system. Its star is called the Great Arctic.
8. Gemini galaxy is 35 light years away from the solar system. Its star is called Beihe San.
...
The galaxies behind are not listed one by one. The stars you see at night are actually stars one by one. As for the distance, any one of them will be more than the stars listed above.
At present, Qingquan Technology relies on observing the luminous stars of these galaxies to infer their distance and basic situations. However, because the distance is too far, it is impossible to have an in-depth understanding of these galaxies, nor can it be concluded whether these galaxies have a smart civilization.
Take the galaxy closest to the solar system, called Centaurus, as an example, with a distance of 4.3 light years. According to current science and technology and means, we only know that Centaurus is a triad star, composed of three stars. Then, based on the reasons for the formation of life on the earth, we infer that life is impossible in the triad star system, and even more impossible to create civilization. This is still too arbitrary!
Therefore, it is necessary to launch the detectors to explore these galaxies in advance and master first-hand information.
Moreover, there are many benefits to launching and exploring spacecraft to these galaxies in advance. With the current development speed of Qingquan Technology, I believe that direct interstellar immigration and exploration will be truly realized soon.
By launching the space probe in advance, you can know a lot of important information in advance, such as some basic situations of the star system, how many planets, distances, sizes, whether there is water resources, etc., laying the foundation for future interstellar activities.
At the same time, this can also detect current science and technology, especially current quantum communication technology. You must know that at such a long distance, if traditional electromagnetic wave technology is used, the round-trip time of the signal must be calculated in years, but quantum communication technology can ignore real-time communication of distance.
But whether it is really the same as in theory requires testing through two places far away from each other. The spacecraft that is ready to be sent to the outer galaxy can undertake this task. As the distance continues to grow, the test can be continuously verified.
Moreover, the spacecraft can also scatter many small explorers and other things along the way. Qingquan Technology can use these explorers to monitor all areas around the solar system to form a monitoring network. Well, although this network has a bit big loophole, it is also a monitoring network after all.
Therefore, Qingquan Technology, which aims to be a starry sky in the universe, must prepare for the future now. The launch of some unmanned spacecraft in advance was naturally put on the agenda, and this task fell on Jiang Zhipeng.
"Jiang Gong, the distance between galaxies is too far. For our current technology, accelerating the spacecraft to 0.2 times the speed of light is almost the limit. This is only possible with nuclear fusion power. In other words, it will take at least 20 years for this spacecraft to fly to the nearest Centaurus galaxy!"
"Although the spacecraft is only started when starting and arriving in the past 20 years, and the time between them is relied on inertia to allow the spacecraft to sleep and retain only a few working instruments, this is still a considerable test for the spacecraft and all equipment!"
"After all, it's been more than 20 years, and even hundreds of years, so I think the durability and reliability of all instruments must be very high. When designing, you must also consider the issue of long-term work, or bring enough spare parts!"
Lu Jin, who was in charge of aerospace power, was also drawn here. He thought about expressing his opinion.
"What Lu Gong said makes sense. The instruments and equipment here can be dormant, but the outer shell of the spacecraft has always been in the universe. Although there is no air, there are many rays, radiation, etc. I think it is necessary to consider whether this steel will change under long-term rays and radiation!"
"We can consider making the spacecraft shell with the latest materials and building a thicker shell, which I think should be OK!"
"In terms of internal components, I think it should be designed as simple as possible and easy to replace. At the same time, a maintenance robot is installed inside. When there is a problem with the components, the robot will be awakened and replaced!"
...
Scientists expressed their ideas one by one. Jiang Zhipeng nodded, and asked his assistant to record them. In addition, he immediately took out some suggestions that were more feasible and discussed with everyone.
"I think everyone's opinions are very good, but I think everyone has forgotten a very important thing, and no one has taken it into consideration!"
A handsome and slightly shy scientist raised his hand and said.
"David, tell me if you have any good suggestions!" Jiang Zhipeng recognized that this was a newcomer who graduated from Qingquan University. His name was David Zhang. He was an overseas Chinese. He performed very well at school and was directly assigned to Jiang Zhipeng.
"I think we should not only consider the long-term performance issues of the spacecraft, but also consider how we should contact if our spacecraft encounters alien civilizations in the alien system? At the same time, how should we prevent our technology from being leaked! I think these should also be taken into consideration!"
David Zhang looked at the scientific seniors who had seen hundreds of people in front of him, a little timid, but he still spoke out his thoughts and thoughts loudly.
"Very good suggestions, why didn't I expect it!" Lu Jin slapped his thigh when he heard this.
At the beginning, everyone just thought about how to build a spacecraft so that the spacecraft can maintain normal work for a long time. At the same time, they also thought of various ways to explore these alien systems, but they didn't expect what should civilization do if they encountered an alien civilization?
"What should we do if we encounter an alien civilization? David is amazing. He has a very unique perspective on the problem and has his own ideas!" Jiang Zhipeng gave a high evaluation and couldn't help but admire him.
"David, I wonder if you have any good ideas?" Jiang Zhipeng thought about it and continued to ask him. Since he raised these questions, he must have had some ideas.
"I will first answer the last question, which is, if you encounter an alien civilization, how should civilization keep its technology secret. The unmanned exploration spacecraft we launched can be said to be the culmination of current technology. If the technology here is known by alien civilizations, civilization is not as good as ours, it can be vigorously developed. If the civilization level is higher than ours, we can infer our technological level from it!"
"This is very unfavorable for us, so I think our unmanned exploration spacecraft must set up a self-destructive program to protect our technology!" Zhang David Zhang was full of energy when he spoke!
"Not bad! You should indeed set up a self-destruction program!" Jiang Zhipeng nodded. If you want to destroy yourself, didn't you just develop a quantum bubble bomb not long ago? This is the best choice!
A scientific exploration spacecraft, especially Qingquan Technology, is intended to be used to launch into an alien system. It can be said that it is the crystallization of Qingquan Technology's current technology. If there is no self-destruction program, it is really dangerous! (To be continued.)
