Chapter 263 Restart SSC
Chapter 263 Restart SSC
”Anti-gravity technology?!”
When the people in the Pentagon analyzed Kang Chi’s interview video frame by frame and heard this statement, they were stunned.
Kang Chi’s previous explanation about the Silver Crane made them feel relieved.
According to their speculation, if Kang Chi successfully applies the technology of solid-state sodium batteries to solid-state lithium batteries, the energy density should indeed be around 600-750wh/kg.
Even if Kang Chi’s technology is reserved, it should not exceed 800wh/kg at most.
Therefore, although they do not believe that the heavy Silver Crane has a range of only 600 kilometers, they firmly believe that it will not exceed 1,000 kilometers.
The most likely possibility is about 800 kilometers.
So the Silver Crane that landed on the Lotus merchant ship at that time should be the backup secret weapon originally carried on the Zhoushan ship, rather than flying from the 48th escort fleet.
Otherwise, this is too exaggerated.
As for the three unidentified signals that appeared on the Red Eagle, they must be a means to confuse and scare them! It may be some kind of drone reconnaissance device, or it may be some other gadget, but it is definitely not the Silver Crane.
”But they want to scare us on the one hand, and want to lower our vigilance on the other hand… Isn’t it a bit contradictory?”
”True or false, what’s the contradiction? After all, the Silver Crane is just a tilt-rotor aircraft. Although it is very practical, it is not a major strategic weapon. Even if it can fly 2,000 kilometers, it is not a threat to us under normal circumstances. There is no need to waste too much time and energy on it. Instead of guessing, it is better to spend more energy and ask Congress for research and development funds for solid-state batteries…”
So this topic was revealed.
But the next topic made them a little confused.
Because the anti-gravity that Kang Chi suddenly proposed was once a pie in the sky…
There were two originators in the study of anti-gravity, one of whom was Thomas Townsend Brown, the founder of the Ascension School.
In 1921, when Thomas was still in high school, he was playing with an X-ray tube and suddenly discovered that this experimental equipment would generate a certain force in a certain direction, causing the mass of this experimental equipment to change.
This discovery made Thomas very excited and completely changed his life.
This guy thought he had discovered new physics, that is, anti-gravity.
He also called this phenomenon the Biefelder-Brown effect.
But later, after everyone’s argument, it was discovered that this so-called Biefelder-Brown effect is actually the principle of ion thrusters that generate thrust by creating plasma winds, which is not real anti-gravity at all.
However, Thomas and other researchers of the Ascension School were unwilling to admit this reality at all, insisting that this is anti-gravity, and have been conducting research in this area.
Once this person starts to deceive himself, he may not be able to tell what is true and what is false in the end…
As for another anti-gravity researcher, it is Hutcheson, the founder of the Ascension Fantasy School.
Hutchison is actually an amateur physics enthusiast. In 1979, this guy suddenly claimed that when he was working on the Tesla coil, many things in the laboratory floated up in a very strange way, metal and wood merged, and some things teleported.
Anyway, it was like a haunted place.
But the problem is that words are not enough. He is the only one who has seen the ghost thing, and he has not been able to reproduce it through experiments…
Later, he also shot a video to restore the anti-gravity phenomenon, but it was soon questioned by all parties.
“I have not been able to do the same experiment for decades, so I can only use this method to restore the situation at that time. I guarantee that this situation is absolutely true!”
Later, under the doubts of all parties, Hutchison admitted very confidently that he used the “fishing line” to pull up the objects…
These are the people who are currently studying anti-gravity.
Well, The ghost-catching Taoist priests in China may also be considered? If you can really catch a female ghost, you may be able to unravel the mystery of anti-gravity and take human civilization to the interstellar…
So if you see a ghost, don’t be afraid, this thing is priceless, and you will make a profit if you catch it!
In short, the current anti-gravity research is basically not very reliable, and the previous ones are just small liars, and the biggest liar is someone else.
In 1947, Roswell happenedThree years after the “flying saucer crash” incident, which has no authoritative explanation so far, the United States claimed to have begun to study anti-gravity technology.
The participants are still the well-known heavyweight players such as NASA, the United States Physical Association AIP, and the United States Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics AIAA.
Not long after, various rumors about the sighting of anti-gravity aircraft began to appear in the folks of the United States.
Then the news in this regard began to increase. It is said that after the “SR-71” Blackbird, the United States has developed a new generation of reconnaissance aircraft numbered “SR-91” Aurora (or Aurora).
The Aurora is said to use a certain pulse engine (probably a rotating detonation ramjet engine), which has a speed of up to 10000 km/h. When it is dispatched, it will produce a harsh roar and a strong shock wave. The flight path will also leave a sausage-like knot-like condensation trail, which is very different from traditional aircraft.
The budget of SR-91 was only 80 million US dollars in 1986, but it increased sharply to 2.2 billion US dollars in 1987. At the same time, after the Blackbird was retired, there was no successor model, so all parties were relatively confident about the existence of this reconnaissance aircraft.
But later there was news that they developed the “TR-3B” based on the technology of SR-91 and achieved true anti-gravity, or weak gravity.
Just a random search on the Internet can see a lot of videos about TR-3B, an aircraft that does not follow aerodynamics at all.
The TR-3B, which looks like an equilateral triangle, can instantly accelerate and decelerate, fly at super high speed, and even go up to the sky and into the sea, just like a UFO.
For this rumor, Old M kept denying it in formal occasions, while secretly fanning the flames.
So the Strategic Research Institute is not unique to China. The Americans have been playing this game for a long time.
In order to make this pie more credible, they even put a patent about “aircraft equipped with inertial mass reduction device”. This patent can be directly found by entering US10144532B2 on the Google patent search website.
In this patent, the principle of the aircraft equipped with a mass reduction device is briefly described. It has three systems: internal resonant cavity, external resonant cavity and microwave transmitter. The microwave transmitter will generate high-frequency electromagnetic waves through the resonant cavity, and then generate anti-gravity fields through the internal and external resonant cavities, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing the mass of the aircraft.
Moreover, the appearance of the aircraft described in this patent is almost exactly the same as the TR-3B rumored by the people.
But if there is such a technology that transcends the times, which fool would apply for a patent?
It would have enslaved all mankind and developed into an interstellar civilization! So this is clearly a pretense to make the pie look more delicious.
This pie was actually meant to be drawn for the old Russians at the beginning.
As a result, the old Russians couldn’t hold on and became old Russians. This pie was no longer useful, so they wanted to give it to China. But China didn’t buy it at all. Although they often shouted that they wanted to “overtake on the curve”, when it came to actual action, they were all “crossing the river by feeling the eagle sauce”. They even crossed the river in small steps and ran fast, for fear of being tripped by stones and falling into the river…
Honest and down-to-earth are the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation!
But who would have thought that after so many years, China suddenly picked up this pie and ate it again!
If someone else ate this pie, they might not even bother to hold a research meeting, and at most they would discuss it privately and secretly rejoice. But the key is that the person who ate this pie was Kang Chi, who constantly helped China to achieve straight-line overtaking and frustrated them repeatedly! They couldn’t help but doubt that this technical route could really be realized by accident?
Of course, although they were a little panicked, they did not believe Kang Chi directly. After all, even they themselves thought anti-gravity was absurd.
So they immediately found some experts and scholars and began to conduct a feasibility analysis.
Although most scholars expressed high doubts about Kang Chi’s attitude, they did not say it directly. After all, no one wanted to be slapped in the face by this Chinese genius who has been creating miracles.
However, Professor Enhard Pace, a high-energy physicist from Boston University, strongly agreed with the direction proposed by Kang Chi.
”But I don’t think that building a small particle collider can discover and capture antimass and charge. Antimass and charge is a more cutting-edge high-energy physics research. We need to restart the SSC project, build a particle collider with more than ten times the energy of LHC! This is also the price that must be paid to achieve anti-gravity. ”
Hearing about the SSC project, the Pentagon commissioner who was responsible for collecting scholars’ suggestions suddenly felt overwhelmed.
Especially, the energy is ten times higher than that of LHC…
”Okay… I will report your opinions truthfully. “Thank you, but we have already joined forces with the Physical Society and the Physical Federation to submit an application to Kashiwamiya to restart the SSC project. I believe the speed of the application may be faster than your report…” It’s bad! The commissioner immediately thought it was not good when he heard it. Who would have thought that this incident would give these high-energy physics scholars an excuse to ask for money to build a large collider. After the end of World War II, the construction of large particle accelerators has always been a hot topic between physicists and politicians in Western countries, and it is also a symbol of scientific progress and regional development. One after another, grand particle collider projects have been launched. During the Cold War, the old Russians and the natural This field was not left out. In 1982, the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) project was proposed in the United States. The purpose was to build a collider that could accelerate protons to 20 TeV, which was three times more powerful than the LHC in Ouzhou.
However, a few years after the project was launched, the fear of leading the field of high-energy physics in the United States was swept away because the old Russians could not resist.
So whether it is really necessary and meaningful to build such a long-lasting and expensive large-scale scientific research device has become the main topic of discussion among all parties.
Erwin Weinberg, who once served as the director of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the United States, was originally a staunch supporter of the SSC project, but later suddenly changed his mind and believed that the SSC project was harmful and useless.
”Will it destroy science?”
”Will it ruin the United States economically?”
”Should we use these funds to eradicate diseases or other efforts that directly contribute to human welfare, rather than on space travel or “spectacular” devices such as particle physics? ”
His three questions immediately won a large number of supporters.
After all, the research results of high-energy physics are usually difficult to bring practical benefits in the short term.
Although the United States had just won a hearty victory at that time, its social economy was also exhausted. At this time, they needed something that was more in line with the actual interests at hand.
So the SSC project eventually became the largest unfinished scientific project in the history of the United States. In just a few years, it wasted hundreds of billions of dollars and a lot of manpower and material resources…
On the day it was forced to stop construction, countless scientists predicted that it would be difficult for the science of the United States to make further progress. Some even called it the darkest day in the history of science in the United States…
Time has changed, and the current situation seems to have returned to 1982. Whether everyone admits it or not, a decoupling of the East and the New Cold War seem to have happened unknowingly. Therefore, whether it is for scientific research or political needs, and the current economic foundation is still okay, if a large number of high-energy physicists submit applications to Congress, the SSC project may be restarted, and it may be possible…
Kang Chi’s interview was actually just a fuse.
In fact, whether what he said is credible or not is no longer important. All everyone needs is an excuse.
A week later, Kashiwamiya formally accepted the proposals and applications of the Physical Society, the Physical Federation and a large number of high-energy physicists, and began to hold hearings on restarting the SSC project to study and demonstrate the feasibility and necessity of the plan.
After less than ten days, the plan was officially passed, and the SSC project was restarted!
However, Kashiwamiya only approved the initial $1 billion in funding. Whether to add more in the future depends on the specific situation…—— ”Restart the SSC project?! ”
When Cai Yaobin told him that his nonsense speech actually made Old M restart a money-eating beast project, he couldn’t help but feel a little surprised.
It was Cai Yaobin’s turn to be a little worried.
In fact, there are two completely different voices in China about whether to build its own large-scale collider. Those led by Academician Yang believe that the actual benefits are not obvious, while those led by Academician Wang believe that the cost and results are equal. The debate between the two sides has lasted for many years.
”Do you think this project is really possible?Come up with anti-gravity technology, or some other cutting-edge black technology?”
”Well… I don’t know much about cutting-edge scientific and technological theories, but for me personally, I think the existing theories are fully capable of supporting our development into outer space, and there is really no need to invest resources in this aspect at this stage.”
”Besides, the LHC is already very powerful. I feel that there is a limiting bottleneck in building a collider on the surface, which has nothing to do with the size of the collision energy… If you really want to build a particle collider, you can build it directly in space in the future. After completely changing the environment of the collider, there may be greater discoveries and surprises.”
After speaking, Kang Chi added: “Of course, the above is just my personal opinion.”
”Well, I see… I will report your opinions truthfully. By the way, how is the progress of the WS-30?”
”March 26, are you free to go to the Aoying Base together?”
”March 26? ! ”
When Cai Yaobin heard Kang Chi even mention the specific date, he was so excited that his scalp was numb.
”Of course I have time. I have to make time even if I don’t have time!”
