Chapter 463 Ion Propulsion and Nuclear Pulse Propulsion

Cao Yuan and Shen Lang are both rare geniuses, but they are completely different in character just like day and night.

Shen Lang is like an indefatigable machine, full of sunny temperament, and always pursues victory. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles are encountered, he will never give up easily. No matter how colleagues, classmates, or even irrelevant strangers, they will involuntarily be attracted by Shen Lang's magical charm and surround him.

Cao Yuan always looks like he can't wake up, wearing clothes with cartoon characters, with a fluffy and messy hairstyle like a chicken coop. He holds his phone when walking and also holds his phone when sleeping. He is either playing games or logging into the game server. He is a strong man in the keyboard world. He often laughs and scolds with sharp language, but he is taciturn in the real world. If necessary, he rarely goes out and uses the Internet to solve problems such as eating and dressing.

Anyway, their style is so distinct, which brings two completely different feelings to everyone. Shen Lang just gave everyone a shot of stimulant and promised to wash the global cleaning market for three months. Cao Yuan immediately made an astonishing point. He said in dismay that if he didn't get more tight, humans would probably never be able to get out of the solar system.

After grabbing his head, Cao Yuan said: "Standing from the scale of the universe, although the solar system is a very small galaxy, it is still larger than we imagined. If we define the departure from the solar system as being out of the gravity of the sun, the distance is 50,000 to 125,000 astronomical units, that is, one to two light years."

"The fastest spacecraft in human history is Sun God II launched in North America in 1976. It is a solar probe that has reached a maximum speed of 70 kilometers per second at the perihelion. If it is at this speed, it will take at least 4,285 years to fly out of the solar system. In fact, as the sun's gravity continues to slow down, it will fly slower and slower, and it will actually take more time."

"So far, Voyager One is the farthest aircraft from the earth. It took more than 40 years to leave the earth 20.6 billion kilometers. It sounds amazing, but it only took one thousandth of a distance. Voyager One also takes advantage of the acceleration of the planetary gravitational slingshot that appears every 175 years."

Luo Jia nodded slightly and said, "Your calculation is correct. With the current technology level, humans cannot leave the solar system because the time is too long, so what about it."

"No! Mr. Luo actually supports Cao Yuan's judgment?"

"Oh my God, Mr. Luo also feels that humans cannot leave the solar system!?"

In an instant, everyone's hearts were filled with storms. Cao Yuan's disgusting view was nothing. The key was that Luo Jia actually agreed, which was very incredible. Will humans be trapped in the small solar system in the end?

Cao Yuan's heart trembled slightly and looked at Luo Jia who was sitting in front of him. It seemed that Luo Jia had known what he said for a long time, so he did not show any surprise. His expression was very calm and powerful. He deserved to be the man who controls everything.

After swallowing, Cao Yuan continued: "So, we need a power revolution to subvert existing space navigation technology and develop ion propulsions. This project is urgent. If everyone trusts it, I am willing to be responsible for establishing an ion propulsion laboratory."

Oh, so that's it...

It is rare. Cao Yuan, who has always been lazy, actually volunteered to carry out ion promotion projects. It must have been influenced by Ji Ming. After all, although Ji Ming and Cao Yuan do not have the status of teachers and students, their relationship is better than that of master and apprentice.

Cao Yuan’s graphene laboratory is stabilizing, and he does have time now.

So strong, it turns out that Cao Yuan is still proficient in electromagnetic physics!?

Everyone's hearts were instantly filled with storms, but Luo Jia didn't say anything, because before Cao Yuan spoke, he was already doing ion propulsion projects. However, he was busy with rocket laboratories and space elevators recently and did not spend more time on ion propulsion.

"If Cao Yuan wants to be responsible for this project, it would be a good choice." Luo Jia thought to himself, "It is not difficult to see from the success of the Graphene Laboratory that Cao Yuan seems lazy, but in fact he is delicate. After all, the Graphene Laboratory is also a large project of hundreds of researchers. It is not easy to manage so many scientists, assign research projects, and coordinate research and development progress. It requires leadership and coordination."

Thinking of this, Luo Jia nodded slightly, "Yes, if everyone doesn't object, Cao Yuan will form an ion propulsion laboratory."

Everyone nodded and said they had no objection.

"I'm afraid there will be no time to play games in the future." Cao Yuan thought, "But it's okay, torture vegetables is just to kill time. As expected, it's still more important to go and see the stars and seas in your lifetime."

Cao Yuan did not deny that he was influenced by Ji Ming. His senior was still working so hard at the age of his senior. He was really embarrassed to lie on the credit book and sleep. Although graphene was already a merit that was enough to be a god, he was still young after all. In addition, deep down in Cao Yuan's heart, he was unwilling to lose to the young geniuses of Star University, led by Shen Lang.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Luo Jia made a final decision and said, "Okay, after the meeting, Cao Yuan followed me and went to my office. I will give you the pre-research data of the ion propeller."

"Okay." Cao Yuan replied habitually.

But then, his face changed drastically, and everyone was stunned and looked at Luo Jia in surprise.

"What? Pre-research data?"

"The pre-research on ion promotion has begun? It's impossible, Mr. Luo did it alone!?"

"He is obviously so busy, but he still has time to do pre-research?"

Luo Jia looked around the audience and saw that everyone was looking at him and looking forward to his explanation. So he had to laugh and said, "Actually, I am not sure which one is the future, ion propulsion or nuclear pulse propulsion, so I did some research and analysis."

"It would be great with Cao Yuan's help now. Cao Yuan is responsible for ion propulsion, and I am responsible for nuclear pulses. After the initial results are achieved, we will compare the two major technologies and choose the most cost-effective one. As a key development, although space projects are sentiments, we must not ignore the cost. After all, every step in space is a cost of money."

What the hell!

Mr. Luo not only does ion propulsion pre-research, but also has not missed nuclear pulse technology!?

Too awesome!

This guy who pretends can get a full mark!

Without surprise, Luo Jia shocked everyone again.

Simply put, nuclear pulse propulsion is to drive the spacecraft forward by continuously creating nuclear explosions behind the spacecraft.

In theory, nuclear pulse propulsion can accelerate the spacecraft to an astonishing tenth of light-year under the extreme state, which is a model of the simple and crude era of the Great Universe.

In Luo Jia's consciousness, it is of course best to achieve ion propulsion, but ion propulsion requires controllable nuclear fusion as a pre-technology, which seems extremely difficult at present.

If ion propulsion is not feasible in the short term, Luo Jia does not rule out using nuclear bombs to blow up a future. As for some people, they are worried about the pollution caused by nuclear bombs in the universe.
