The Rise Of Space Technology

"At the same time, all the light can be reflected and converged to one point by automatically calculating the angle, and the high temperature generated can exceed tens of thousands of degrees, enough to vaporize any object and metal."

Relying on rockets and spacecraft to travel to and from space is too expensive, and the key is that there are huge restrictions on the quality and volume of the objects to be carried. Building a solar power station in space, even if the power generation efficiency is hundreds of times higher than on Earth, it is still a little bit. All cost-effective things.

"This space solar power station is not only a power station, but also a space smelting factory to prepare for the smelting of asteroids in the future." "So the lens on it is two-sided, one is the solar panel used to generate electricity, and the other is It is a mirror that can emit sunlight. It is usually used to generate electricity to obtain energy. When it needs to be used to smelt asteroids, it can be turned over to emit sunlight."

And space junk often runs at orbital speed, the speed is several kilometers per second, and carries huge kinetic energy. If space stations, satellites, spacecraft, etc. in space collide with it, it will cause serious damage. Spacecraft, endanger the safety of astronauts, and may even directly lead to the damage of spacecraft, space vehicles, satellites, etc.

Calculated, the efficiency of solar power stations in space is hundreds of times that of solar power generation on Earth, which is why satellites and space stations can obtain enough electricity with two small wings.

"In space, its power generation efficiency can reach hundreds of times that on Earth, which is very profitable..."

In space, we can generate electricity 24 hours a day without a gap, and it will not be affected by day and night like the ground. The solar power generation panel can work 24 hours in the best direct light state, and the power generation efficiency is quite acceptable.

In fact, since humans launched the first artificial satellite, there has been more and more garbage in space, which comes from scrapped satellites in space, spacecraft discarded by space activities, launchers, burning debris, and so on.

Today is the day when the construction of the first space solar power station of Xinghai Technology started. This space solar power station will be the first space solar power station in human history, which is a very historic moment.

It is also possible to turn night into day, and cold regions into tropics, etc., of course, provided that there are enough emitting mirrors and enough light to hit the earth to achieve all this.

"The second method is to use a spacecraft to catch this space junk in advance and clean it up. This method is simple to operate. We have an anti-gravity spacecraft, and it is not difficult to capture space junk in space."

"Boss, we also use three methods to ensure the safety of space solar power plants."

It can be said that in the past, these garbage are often relatively large, and are also very easy to find and detect, but some experimental anti-satellite weapons blow up satellites in space into countless fragments, which are very small and extremely Hard to find.

Wang Chen sent a document to the virtual machines of Liu Yuan and Lu Yong, and also introduced in detail the three schemes he made here.

Now the best monocrystalline silicon solar panels can generate 0.2 kilowatt-hours of electricity per hour, which is 0.2 kWh of electricity. Of course, this is on the earth. If it is in space, because there is no weakening of the atmosphere, the intensity of sunlight in space It is more than ten times that of the ground. Even if it is 10 times, a square monocrystalline silicon solar panel can generate 2 kWh of electricity in one hour in space.

Ningcheng Xinghai Aerospace Industrial Base, Liu Yuan was pulled over by Wang Chen.

PS: There is one more chapter~~

However, Xinghai Technology's side is very low-key now, and no news media has been notified about this matter, that is, Liu Yuan and Lu Yong were invited to participate in the groundbreaking ceremony.

But for a long time, countries around the world have no way to take space junk, because it is in space, so it has always been difficult to clean up, the cost of cleaning is also very huge, and there is more and more garbage in space.

A simple calculation, 1 square of solar panels can generate 2 kWh of electricity in one hour in space, and 48 kWh of electricity 24 hours a day.

It is very simple to manufacture and has no technical content. The technology on earth has long been able to manufacture this thing.

"Wang Chen, I told you to pay attention to the matter of space junk, do you have any good solutions on your side?"

This time, Xinghai Technology plans to build a space solar power station with a length and width of 10,000 meters. Its area is 100 million square meters, which means that there are 100 million one-square-meter solar panels to generate electricity all year round.

In fact, it sounds tall, but in fact it is a very simple thing with little technological content.

Liu Yuan read the information carefully, and also thinks that these three methods are quite good, and they can indeed solve the problem of space junk very well.

In addition, the light in space has not been weakened by the earth's atmosphere, and its intensity is several times that of the earth. At the same time, it can always maintain vertical illumination, and is not affected by weather such as wind and rain clouds.

48 kWh of electricity a day, 365 days a year is 17,520 kWh of electricity, which is only the power generation of one square solar panel.

This is very profitable. The key is that it can also be used to smelt asteroids in the future, which has many uses.

But with anti-gravity technology, it is different. Using anti-gravity spacecraft can easily carry a large number of objects to and from space. The cost of building a space solar power station is not much higher than that on Earth, but the power generation efficiency is the same as that on Earth. Hundreds of times the efficiency.

Space junk This may be a problem that many people have not paid attention to.

A year's power generation can theoretically reach 1,752 billion kWh!

These space junk are huge in number, widely distributed, and pose a great threat. They not only pose a threat to space stations, spacecraft, satellites, etc. in space, but are also likely to pose a threat to the ground.

"The first method is to change the orbits of spacecraft, space stations, and spacecraft in space to avoid the impact of space junk by changing orbits. The advantage of this method is that it is simple and convenient, but the disadvantage is that our space station has gradually become The space city is getting bigger and bigger in size and mass, it is more and more difficult to change orbits, and the energy consumption is also increasing.”

It is to build a huge solar power generation frame in space, and then subdivide this frame into standard one-square solar power generation panels.

Space junk is very harmful and requires great attention, but with the current technology of Xinghai Technology, it can still be very easy to deal with space junk.

"Our satellites and detectors all over the space can detect all the space junk in time. Once the space junk may be found to be a threat to our space buildings, we will start an emergency plan."

First find a way to hide, but then find a way to capture it. It is not very convenient to capture, so I can just use the laser to destroy you. If the space junk is a bit big, you can also be vaporized by solar energy. .

Then Wang Chen also began to introduce the situation of this solar power station to Liu Yuan and Lu Yong in detail.

It can be said that space junk has gradually become a major threat to human exploration of space.

However, as long as it is profitable, the efficiency of space solar power plants is very high. In space, there is no difference between day and night. This alone is not comparable to electricity generation on Earth.

Using mirrors that can emit sunlight to send a large amount of light onto the earth, as long as there are enough mirrors, it is possible to raise the temperature of a place to an extremely terrifying level in a very short period of time.

If it was in the past, this is simply not possible.

Liu Yuan looked at the busy figures of everyone, and asked after thinking about it.

If it's just a small amount of reflections, it's not a big deal.

This solar panel is also specially made, with a solar panel on one side and a mirror reflecting sunlight on the other.

"Solar power stations are the same, too large, more difficult to change orbits, and consume more energy."

"Each of its solar panels can be controlled by a computer and can be rotated at will. No matter what angle it is, it can ensure sufficient vertical reception of sunlight and ensure power generation."

The real difficulty is to send it into space and build such a solar power station in space.

"The third way is to directly destroy the space junk. Using the characteristics of the solar power station, when we detect that there is space junk posing a threat to the space solar power station, we will use the laser to melt it all in advance, or It is to adjust the other side of the space solar power generation, the side containing the mirror, and use the high temperature generated by the polymerization of sunlight to directly vaporize the space junk."

No way, it's not okay to be low-key now.

"Not bad."

It can even be used as a weather weapon if necessary.

In the case of anti-gravity technology, it is not difficult to build a space solar power station in space. What really needs to worry about is the junk in space.

In the huge control and command center, many scientists and engineers are very busy, carrying out related preparations. At the same time, in space, the space city built by Xinghai Technology itself is also very busy, and a large number of scientists and engineers are preparing. .

From the launch of the first satellite to the present, the world has carried out tens of thousands of space activities, resulting in a large amount of space junk, most of which are sucked into the earth by gravity and burned up in the atmosphere, but still There are more than 5,000 tons of space junk left in orbit.

Times have changed. In the past, you needed to be high-profile to show your powerful technology. Now, you need to be as low-key as possible and unobtrusive.
