I ask you to build tractors, but you build rockets?

High-energy physics is a research field with vastly different directions but a high degree of integration.

A high-energy physicist may have made great achievements in laser physics, quantum physics, nuclear physics, microscopic science, etc. His research tools and environments are highly versatile, and he needs to rely on each other's research to move forward. .

So Zhao Xiaowen knew what Lu Qiu meant after a moment's thought. He was hinting at electromagnetic force control technology.

In fact, he also has a deep understanding that although the technical information of the laser smelting satellite includes relevant technologies, the technologies used on the "Chiyang" are also used in the "Chiren" and "C172A" metal hydrogen batteries. The latter two also apply microscopic strong electromagnetic force control on a large scale.

According to the current mainstream tokamak device ideas in the world, such a powerful and precise electromagnetic restraint device is very much needed, unlike the weak force restraint used in the future world line "laser inertial restraint" previously obtained by the base.

However, in Zhao Xiaowen's view, this is a good thing, which means that the base may be deeply involved in the EAST project. Even if the tokamak fails in the end, it can provide a large amount of experimental data for the laser inertial confinement fusion chosen by the base.

Reaching out to EAST in a reasonable manner has always been one of the dreams of the base's top brass.

Zhao and Lu took advantage of the opportunity to communicate about this. Both colleagues had the idea of ​​​​inquiring for more information, and they chatted happily for a while.

However, Lin Ju finally calmed down and reached a consensus, and Zhong Cheng and the three officers unified their opinions.

They hope to organize a more complete destruction experiment as soon as possible, and propose that they can provide quite accurate guidance technology and combine it with the "Blazing Sun" to conduct attack tests on aircraft and satellites.

At the same time, the military learned that the base's budget was tight with Zhong Cheng's evidence, and immediately proposed that 500 million funds could be allocated immediately.

They will establish a large-scale military laser project internally and designate Xinyuan as the contractor to promote various laser research based on weapons bidding.

Although high-level discussions are still needed before the project is approved, and it will take some time to finalize it, the emergency funding of 500 million can be received in advance.

Xinyuan has no problem taking on this project. They have long been involved in several top-secret military projects and have all kinds of licenses and qualifications.

…

Except for Zhong Cheng and Lu Qiu, who stayed as liaison officer, the others took a technical briefing and flew away in a hurry, rushing back to have a meeting in the evening.

At the strong request of the officers, the warehouse where "Blazing Sun" was located was closed and sealed. In addition, 10 key guards were transferred from the guard base next to it, and then they left with peace of mind.

Lin Ju couldn't help but complain when he saw this scene:

"I'm not the CEO of a private company. I'm more like the director of an arsenal. I'm protected by the garrison."

However, he only said a few words verbally, and this situation was expected.

The original plan of the base was to wait until the development of "Blazing Sun" was completed and then make it public in May or June when the launch was completed. However, after many considerations, it was decided to notify now to avoid overreaction.

But it seems that many people will still be up all night, and it may be another major event that changes the strategy.

Zhong Cheng, who had been holding back for a long time, finally had a chance to relax. His responsibilities also included the Space Force. A breakthrough in new technology also brought great changes:

"Xiao Lin, you not only want to drain our space funds, but also our military expenses.

Including the 909 project, the expenditure in 2016 will exceed 1 trillion. Isn't this momentum going towards 2 trillion?

I remembered correctly that the one who was in charge of laser treatment was a university professor before. How come someone comes to your place and it’s like taking medicine, and the results are as if they are free of charge? "

"This... medicine is really useful. 314 injections and 504 injections are both good things. You want me to give you a few."

"..."

Zhong Cheng shook his head and just complained with a frown on his face, even rarely swearing:

"Damn it, why do I feel like trouble is coming?"

…

February 11, Futaba County.

Forty days have passed since the last hydrogen bomb exploded, but the "rescue teams" from various countries in the control area have still not withdrawn and continue to perform post-explosion disaster prevention and power detection tasks for two months.

The job of front-line personnel is to drive armored vehicles or airplanes through the blast core area to measure the radiation dust content in the air and record the value of the Geiger counter.

After the explosion of the third hydrogen bomb, it caused 22 consecutive earthquakes, but the highest one was only 5.2 magnitude. Although it caused no obvious damage to people and property, the tsunami caused completely destroyed the original site of Tomishima Power Station.

Looking down from the aerial photo, there is only an incomplete circular port. The walls are as smooth as if they have been artificially repaired. The combination of the deep blue water and the shiny green parabola is surprisingly beautiful.

According to the IAEA's frequent detections, it was confirmed that the radiation content dropped to less than half of the peak 24 hours after the explosion, and dropped to one-tenth after 72 hours. After 7 days, human activities were already possible in other places except within a 3-kilometer radius of the explosion center.

Up to now, the radiation content in the air has been greatly reduced. According to the measurement of pollutants, at least 98% of the nuclear materials in the two reactor cores have been fully reacted. From this perspective, the cleaning effect is very ideal.

Tian Zhan continues to faithfully perform his duties. According to the plan, he will be transferred back to the country in 15 days.

Not because he is not needed, but because those who have been close to radiation for a long time have to take turns. In fact, most of the members of the rescue team have been replaced once.

After completing the recording work and sending back the data, he returned to the air command room at his home station and executed an order from home:

A Wing Loong 5 UAV is heading south along the coastline after crossing the Tsugaru Strait, requiring rescue teams stationed around Tomishima to provide guidance services until it leaves the airspace of the island country.

This is a very ordinary mission. The maximum take-off mass of Wing Loong 5 does not exceed 5 tons. It is powered by a piston aeroengine, has a cruising speed of about 300 kilometers, and a maximum range of more than 10,000 kilometers.

According to this route, 80% of them are conducting hydrological monitoring or daily patrols, right?

The operator at the air finger center immediately executed the order, but after a while he let out a soft "eh" sound.

"What's wrong?"

"No, let me see again..."

The operator looked at it for a while, and then said with some uncertainty:

"The signal of YL403A seems to be unstable. Too little data is transmitted but the report is normal... Also, the radar signature is much larger."

"Then make sure again. If there is any abnormality, I will report it immediately."

"yes!"

Neither of them attracted much attention, and the Pterosaur-5, which was flying close to the air defense identification zone more than 200 kilometers away, looked completely different from normal.

A high bulge was added to its back, and the sound of the engine at the tail was not right either. Apart from the noise of the blades, the engine sounded like an electric motor.

It flew southward in a swaggering manner, but it did not make a circle and return as Tian Zhan and the operator thought.

In fact, it took off from the hinterland of the mainland. It first circled almost the entire southern region before coming out from the East China Sea. It is currently flying around the island. After completion, it will continue to fly east to the central Pacific. After visiting Hawaii, it will then go south to Satsuma. Islands, then continue cruising around Southeast Asia.

This flight is planned to last a full 168 hours, which is a full 7 days, and now it is only a quarter.

Its own battery is only enough to fly for 2 hours, but in the synchronous orbit above its head, Chiwu-1 is slightly adjusting the inclination of the microwave transmitter to continuously provide energy from space.

Chiwu-1, which is in synchronous orbit, does not receive sunlight for only 71 minutes a day. The rest of the time it can provide sufficient power for the specially modified Pterosaur-5.

After Chiwu-3 was put into use, the original Chiwu-1 was also reclassified and began to study wireless functions for aircraft and ships.

It reaches Hawaii in the east, Baikonur in the west, Sakhalin in the north, and New Zealand in the south. It can provide 100 to 150 kilowatts of power for drones in almost one-third of the earth, which is enough to meet the flight needs.

In this area, Pterosaur-5 can perform unlimited missions like a ghost as long as there is no mechanical failure;

If there are three Chiwu No. 1s forming a network, then it can appear in major areas on all continents.

Compared with the extremely arrogant Snow Falcon, the microwave-powered Pterosaur-5 is almost unnoticeable in a low-key manner, but in a sense, it is more deadly.

The only limitation to its performance is the severe interference of microwave power to electronic equipment. Until this problem is solved, the flying platform will not be larger than the Pterosaur-5.
