Chapter 629: Entering the space layout in advance, the planetary defense plan plays a decisive role
"Commander Qin."
"What scientific research project are we here for this time?"
On a bulletproof vehicle in the middle, Lin Haiyuan's vehicle continued to drive deep into the mountains, as well as the military scientific research center indicated at the entrance, as well as a group of guarding soldiers armed with live ammunition. At this moment, they became more and more curious~.
You know, this is their first time coming into contact with such a strict scientific research base.
Even though it is in a deep mountain and old forest, there are actually soldiers with loaded guns guarding the entrance to the road to prevent ordinary people from breaking in, or even people with ulterior motives sneaking in.
This is just the first line of guard.
Driving along the way, there were so many surveillance images that he couldn't even look past them.
There is a visible monitor almost every five meters. There are also invisible monitors installed. I don’t know how many are installed.
The level of strict protection of this research and development base was so high that it made him feel a little scared.
Others also looked at Qin Dao with curious faces.
Several of them served as Qin Xiao's assistants when Qin Xiao was developing a 1nm process lithography machine.
I also understand Qin Xiao’s habits.
So this time, Qin Dao brought Lin Haiyuan and others here in order to start work as soon as possible.
Otherwise, it will take a few days to get used to a few unfamiliar assistants.
Lin Haiyuan and others were different. Although Qin Xiao had not stayed with them for too long, Lin Haiyuan and others still cherished that scientific research experience at that time. They were willing to learn, endure hardship, and were dedicated to finding Qin. As an assistant, Xiaotantan needs to do something. Therefore, even if they are not the clearest about Qin Dao's habits, they are more familiar with Qin Dao's habits than ordinary assistants.
This time, being able to participate in another scientific research project with Qin Xiao was extremely exciting for Lin Haiyuan and others.
They have seen Qin Dao's ability with their own eyes.
A scientific research project that may not take others several years or even ten years to complete may only take Qin Xiao ten days and a half.
If the 1nm process lithography machine is studied by others, it will take at least ten years, or even twenty years.
But Qin Xiao did it in just a few months.
The most important thing is that not only did he do it, but the lithography machine he developed suddenly became the most advanced lithography machine in the world today.
With such ability, it is undoubtedly the greatest honor for them to be able to follow him as an assistant.
But when Qin Xiao informed them, he didn't tell them what the scientific research project was. When they arrived at the place, they saw how heavily guarded it was, and they became more and more curious.
All eyes fell on Qin Xiao.
Seeing Lin Haiyuan and others looking at him, Qin Xiao smiled slightly: "Actually, it is not a newly launched scientific research project. It was proposed decades ago. However, at that time, the technical strength was not enough. Such a large scientific research project was not available at all. The method is completed, but if we insist on doing it, the entire alliance will be dragged down.
Therefore, it has not been launched in these years. It was proposed several times, but due to some reasons, the plan was not launched in the end.
It was only recently that we decided to launch this plan. "
"What's the plan, Commander Qin?"
"Yeah yeah!"
Qin Xiao smiled slightly: "I don't know if you have heard of the planetary defense plan.
"Planetary Defense Plan?"
Everyone was stunned.
They are just ordinary intern researchers, and they have just recently joined the Eastern Academy of Sciences. They have never heard of this confidential scientific research project, let alone know about it.
Qin Xiao explained with a smile: "The so-called asteroid defense system literally means using humankind's existing technical means to prevent asteroids from hitting the source star and causing devastating disasters.
Meteor showers are also caused by asteroids, but they usually do not cause harm to the ground. Because meteor showers are mainly composed of ice, they will evaporate after entering the atmospheric chamber.
The composition of the asteroid determines whether people on the source star will be threatened. Stones with a diameter greater than 0.5 meters and meteorite irons with a diameter of 0.15 meters may not completely burn up in the atmosphere and fall to the ground.
Of course, in most cases, meteorites falling to the ground occur in inaccessible places and usually do not cause harm to humans.
The most dangerous asteroids come from between Mars and Jupiter.
There is an asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. There are about 500,000 asteroids. The main components are rocks and iron. They are 3.5 astronomical units from the sun.
In the early days of the formation of the solar system, it turned out that there were at least two larger rocky planets in the orbit of the asteroid belt. Under Jupiter's gravity, they collided with each other and broke into 500,000 pieces.
Some of the trajectories of these debris are large ellipses and have to cross the orbit of the source star, which poses a huge risk to the source star.
In the Covenant, there is a Barringer Crater.
The reason why it is often mentioned is because the explosion yield that formed this crater happened to be 10 million tons of TNT, which is equivalent to mankind's largest actual hydrogen bomb.
0Please ask for flowers......
This crater was created by an iron meteorite 30 meters in diameter.
A stony meteorite with a diameter of about 40 meters can also produce the same explosion effect.
Dongshen belongs to one of the most populous forces in the world. The city density is high and the population in the city is large. If the meteorite hits the city, the losses will be very heavy. Even if it hits the suburbs of the city, it will have serious consequences.
There are about 2,000 asteroids orbiting in outer space that threaten the source star, 150 of which are larger than 1 kilometer in diameter.
Every few years, these asteroids will intersect with the source star near the orbit of the source star.
One day, one of the asteroids will directly hit the source star. This is the danger that mankind is destined to face, but we don't know which day it is.
Therefore, defending against asteroids is by no means unfounded.
....0
There are already two asteroid defense agencies in the world. If we are established, we will be the third.
The only ones with the ability to develop outer space resources are Dongshen and the Star Alliance. Other forces will be blocked by high technical thresholds. From now on, space resources will be the world we and the Star Alliance compete for.
The resources of the Source Star are getting less and less, and the competition for space resources has become an inevitable trend.
Being able to enter space layout in advance, the planetary defense plan plays a decisive role.
The planetary defense plan I envision does not only defend against asteroids, but also includes a series of functions such as exploring space, attacking satellites of other forces, and attacking ground targets.
Lin Haiyuan and others listened quietly. Only now did they know what an exciting scientific research project they were about to participate in.
This is countless times larger than the photolithography machine project, and the technical requirements are also countless times higher.
pleasure!
Even an honor!
For a few people, being able to participate in such an important scientific research project, even just as an assistant to Qin Xiao, is a lifelong dream.
You know, even if you are an assistant, you don't know how many people are vying for it.
They knew that when many people at the Eastern Academy of Sciences learned that they were about to serve as Qin Dao's assistants, they all showed admiration on their faces.
Even some bachelors from the Eastern Academy of Sciences looked at them with beautiful faces.
Before, they didn't understand why.
Now I know.
Not only does he serve as Qin Dao's assistant, but there is also a key reason, that is, the scientific research project he participated in this time is too important. .
