Chapter 19 Designing Spaceships
Say's words made everyone's eyes light up, and Cheng Xin regained her vitality in an instant.

"What is the Chang'an Deep Dark Project?" Yu Weimin, the deputy director, asked.

"It is a strategic system of interstellar warfare. You only need to know one thing about this. The Chang'an Deep Black Project requires extremely high fleet mobility."

"It means to develop a propellant-free engine, excluding the space propulsion that requires progress in theoretical physics, the propellant-free engine should be radiation propulsion."

"But even the simplest radiation propulsion is still completely theoretical. I didn't expect the high-level people to take such a risk." Vader said.

"Yes." Say finished speaking and handed the hard drive to Vader: "So the next task I give you is to cooperate with scientific research institutes in various countries to develop a propellant-free engine and design the first generation of radiation-driven spaceships."

"Inside the hard disk is my requirement for the spaceship, the kind that allows human beings to develop the eight planets of the solar system on a large scale."

Hearing this, many people still feel emotional. Human beings are finally going to the universe. For those who are born in aerospace, there is nothing more romantic.

"So now I need you to fully participate in the Chang'an Deep Dark Project. Of course, it is impossible to achieve the final goal now, but there are still initial indicators."

"I want to see the first draft prototype of the engine within six years, and the first-generation radiation-driven spaceship must come out within ten years." Sai said firmly.

"How is this possible?" Cheng Xin couldn't help questioning, "Although I personally oppose working fluid engines, working fluid-free engines is still completely theoretical."

"It is impossible to develop a propellant-free engine in a short period of time. The theory of research and development alone is unknown, let alone its practical application."

Many people nodded their heads after hearing Cheng Xin's words. One of the reasons why the traditional aerospace industry is so resistant to refrigerant-free engines is the difficulty of developing refrigerant-free engines.

Everyone knows that no propellant engine is good in theory, including those old aerospace companies, but goodness does not necessarily mean practicality. It is very likely that this is a sinkhole that costs a lot of money.

In addition, the technological blockade of Trisolaran makes the future of the non-propellant engine even more difficult, so many people look to the more stable propellant engine.

But Say knows that even with the technical level of the original human beings, they can conquer the non-propellant engine, let alone the responding human beings with more advanced technology.

If there is no big trough, the research progress of the non-propellant engine will only be faster, so Say issued a death order.

"Then make it possible. You must know that the purpose of the PIA is to detect the Trisolaran Fleet. If our spacecraft is not capable of flying there, how can we detect it?"

"Ten years is actually a reasonable time. With the increase in the number of space elevators, human aviation needs will definitely increase significantly, and the range of activities will expand to the Kuiper belt."

"So we must have the ability to build spaceships in the shortest possible time, so as to start the construction of the solar system defense line and the development of solar system resources."

"Understood, PIA will move forward by any means, and your request will be fulfilled." Vader said still with a sullen face.

It may be because everyone's despair was broken by Say, and Vader is not in a very good mood now.

"Okay, then PIA will still maintain the original working organization, and PDC will be responsible for allocating funds to you. The only change is that all tasks will be reported to me."

Unlike Zhang Beihai, Say did not directly include Vader in his staff, but chose to let him continue to be the director of PIA.

The reason why they didn't do this was because Say was actually a little afraid of Vader. This person was different from Zhang Beihai, and it wasn't just the difference in marksmanship between the two.

Because apart from marksmanship, Wade's methods of dealing with other people are far from Zhang Beihai's. If Zhang Beihai were the director of PIA, he would never let Cheng Xin go to hibernation.

Moreover, Vader's spirit is not very normal. He is incompatible with human society and likes to watch others fall into despair.

If it's not accompanied by Cheng Xin, then it's definitely a template for a villain!

But because there is still a thief in PIA who can make trouble, Sai asked Vader to stay in PIA and let him keep an eye on Cheng Xin for him, lest Cheng Xin do any disgusting things again.

After all, in terms of destructive power, Cheng Xin is indeed at the boss level, not to mention that this is the defense version of the Three-Body Universe, who knows what Cheng Xin can do.

Speaking of this, in fact, now Cheng Xin should have no chance to be disgusting, because without Ai AA, a godly assist and best friend, Cheng Xin's ability to be a monster would have been weakened by more than half.

Not to mention whether my own disturbance to the future will cause history to be rewritten, making AA never born at all.

Even if Ai AA was born according to the original history, it is impossible for Cheng Xin to meet her.

Because Ai AA was born more than two centuries later, no matter how chaotic the timeline of the three-body universe was, as long as Cheng Xin didn't hibernate, she would definitely not live to that time.

Now the ladder project was forcibly canceled by himself, the research direction of PIA began to be consistent with the Chang'an deep black project, and Yun Tianming also went into hibernation due to terminal illness.

It seems that Cheng Xin has no motivation to go to the distant future. As long as Cheng Xin is stared at under her nose, Sai doesn't believe that she can turn the world upside down.

.........

After explaining the task to the people of PIA, the research on the fusion engine without propellant was on the right track, and the whole world was in a sensation.

Regarding the dispute between non-propellant engines and propellant engines, after the controllable nuclear fusion technology is the hottest thing in academia, even the addition of Say cannot make the other side give up.

Although the PDC council members specially held a meeting in Singapore before, it was established that human beings will focus on the research of non-propellant engines.

But in fact, the countries themselves have no idea about this issue, and at the same time, there are a large number of people within them who oppose the costly non-propellant engine research project.

And because there is no specific program and route, the working medium engine faction continues to make trouble under the instigation of ETO, vigorously denying the working medium engine.

But now PIA has formally proposed a long-term research and development route, and has put out the slogan of sending radiation-driven detectors to the Trisolaran fleet, allowing the non-propellant engine to stand firm.

In this regard, the PDC also specially held a press conference, hyping that the radiation-driven spacecraft will allow humans to control the entire solar system and defeat the three-body invaders.

Naturally, Say heard the news in her office at the first time, and she finally felt relieved seeing the test of the non-propellant engine being carried out.

With the non-propellant engine, human beings have the possibility of escaping into deep space, so that they are not unable to escape even if they want to, at least there are more ways.

But at this moment, she thought of another important issue, which was the great trough in the future.
