Super Mothership

Chapter 405: Torch

(TL:By Rafael,valhallatls.blogspot.com)

Lawrence didn't know that he had become an honorable reserve player, but this did not prevent him from experiencing the shock that Cloud scientific research brought to ordinary people up close.

All kinds of high-tech equipment and technologies that have been leading the earth for hundreds of years are like coming to the world of science fiction. Just looking at the list makes Lawrence feel his heart beat faster and his eyes flushed.

The ”Prometheus" plan was just an idea of Lawrence. Originally, he believed that it would not be possible to realize Earth science and technology until at least hundreds of years later, but right in front of Lawrence's eyes, the theoretical problems were solved one by one, of which more than 80% of the technical details were never seen by Lawrence.

However, with the amazing abilities that Captain Ghost has always shown, Lawrence can also treat this with a normal heart, but another thing makes him unable to calm down.

That is, in this research institute... there are actually only sixteen scientists!

Sixteen scientists, it is said that there are also three part-time new product testers, these are all the living people in the institute, and the rest are countless robot assistants.

This number can be said to be far lower than Lawrence and even everyone imagined.

Even in the small laboratory he set up by himself, there are more than 30 assistants, not counting handymen, and the cloud research institute, which claims to be full of black technology and countless R&D achievements, actually has only 16 people in total?！

Who can believe this?Wouldn't it be possible to fully automate scientific research?

In the virtual world, Yu Lao and others are all shown as small robots, without revealing their identities.

But through this period of communication in the ”Prometheus" project, Lawrence could vaguely perceive that these people should be the same kind of people as himself.

They are very familiar with the scientific research environment on the earth, and have the mature personality brought about by age, experienced, wise and knowledgeable, love to get into the corner and are particularly stubborn, all of them reveal a taste that is familiar to Lawrence.……

In the process of communicating with many top scientists, Lawrence will have such a familiar feeling.

But the difference is that among these characteristics, they seem to have a unique vitality of young people, which makes Lawrence feel a little conflicted.

What shocked Lawrence even more was the “inhuman” abilities shown by Yu Lao and others.

Proficient in many foreign languages!I have dabbled in all fields of interdisciplinary disciplines, and the level is as high as several floors!

Quick thinking and quick response, the speed of mental arithmetic is completely incomprehensible!

The work efficiency is amazing, and the plans that are often proposed in the morning will have specific laboratory verification results released in less than two hours.

Knowledge and knowledge are even more incomprehensible, and various theories and techniques are almost at hand, and you can tell the conclusions that Lawrence needs to think for a long time to come to in a few words.

Even in his own professional field, in terms of theoretical level and scientific research skills, Lawrence was frustrated to find that he was actually crushed by everyone present in all directions.

You must know that among these people, only 5 are experts in the field of physics, and the rest are experts in the fields of chemistry, mathematics and even biology.

But he can't even compare to a biological person in his professional field!

He finally knew why a mere sixteen people could hold up the name of the strongest scientific research institute.

When such a scientist appears, Lawrence will tell himself that there are always one or two unreasonable geniuses in the world, but there are sixteen such people all at once. No matter how stupid he is, he knows that there must be a problem. There must be a problem.

It is rumored that the Ghost captain's human body strengthening technology is unparalleled in the world, and the Ghost Knight can even avoid bullets. Just looking at the abilities shown by these scientists, Lawrence knows that it is groundless, not necessarily for no reason.

However, when he was young and wealthy, he asked if this kind of human enhancement could be exchanged, but in exchange for Yu Lao's meaningful "internal employee benefits”.……

Lawrence is deeply envious of this employee benefit!

The strongest scientist, the strongest scientific research environment, and the strongest ghost captain backing……

“It's really a paradise of science..." Lawrence sighed as he looked at the spacecraft gradually approaching the sun.

Recruiting people first, this is why Nie Yun arranged for Lawrence to participate in the project. As long as he is a scientist pursuing the truth, he cannot be indifferent to the scientific research environment like Yunyun.

“Drop!The spacecraft has arrived at the preset location!”At this time, the system's prompt sounded, interrupting Lawrence's thoughts.

The spacecraft in the picture turned off its thrusters and slowly sailed forward relying on inertia.

“Although the boss didn't come, it was a revolutionary galaxy-level project after all, and the ribbon-cutting ceremony still needs to continue. Mr. Lawrence, you are the theoretical proponent of the plan, so you can do it."Old Yu made a gesture of invitation.

A virtual operation panel immediately appeared in front of Lawrence, with a red handprint on it.

“No, no, I just put forward the inspiration for the design, and I hardly helped in the specific implementation process. This honor should belong to all of you here."Lawrence hurriedly refused.

To be honest, in the second half of the implementation of the plan, Lawrence felt that he was completely unable to keep up with the pace of the old people, and his technical accumulation was still too weak.

The so-called achiever first, Lawrence quickly straightened his posture soon after entering the team, and he came to learn.

“Hehe, inspiration is the most precious thing for science, and I look forward to you providing more inspiration for the earth."Old Yu smiled and stretched out his hand to invite again.

Seeing that Yu Lao insisted, Lawrence pressed his hand up a little embarrassed.

“Drop!The 'Prometheus' system is officially launched!”

Then Lawrence saw the spacecraft in the picture begin to unfold slowly.

First, the second half of the hull opened, and the eight sets of side-by-side thrusters suddenly split and detached in eight directions.

The interior of the spherical spacecraft is filled with a thin and almost transparent film. Eight sets of thrusters spray tail flames, flying slowly in 8 directions, and the film behind the body slowly opens.

The next picture is like opening a parachute, and the area of the film that opens is getting bigger and bigger.

10 square kilometers...100 square kilometers...10,000 square kilometers... 100,000 square kilometers……

This huge film bulged slightly backward under the action of the solar wind, and finally formed an umbrella with the center of the circle pointing to the sun.

The remaining hemispherical hull of the spacecraft is hollow inside, like the counterweight sandbags of a hot air balloon, firmly sucked by the huge gravity of the sun, offsetting the thrust of the solar wind on the film.

After the final attitude adjustment of the eight sets of thrusters caused the entire system to remain relatively still with the sun, it slowly shut down.

“Torch No. 1, the orbital deviation is 0.001%, and the anchoring is complete!”

The inspiration for the Prometheus plan came from the Dyson Ball, but the Dyson Ball idea was not only too huge, but also had many difficulties.

For example, how do construction materials withstand high temperature resistance?How to deal with the huge internal stress caused by the sun's gravity?How to transport energy?

Lawrence proposed a way to replace the solid material with a transparent solar film, and use a flexible film to avoid huge internal stress while reducing material consumption.

Solar thin-film technology is not new on earth. In 2015, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of cadmium telluride thin-film solar cells in the laboratory reached 21.5%, which has long entered the practical stage. After Nie Yun's black technology chaos, this kind of civilian technology development is even more rapid.

The unique parachute design refers to the solar sail theory.

As long as the density of the film and the orbit in which it is located are reasonable, the solar gravity and solar wind to which the film is subjected will cancel each other out, thereby maintaining orbital stability while avoiding stress tearing.

In addition, the specially designed light-transmitting film can add a thermal radiation reflective coating according to its own temperature tolerance, and adjust its own light transmittance to minimize the heat it absorbs.

After that, using the gravity of the sun, the solar wind, and the speed of revolution as parameters, Lawrence designed a stable orbit calculation formula for calculating the anchoring orbit.

This is the "Torch”, the smallest constituent unit of the ”Prometheus" plan to steal fire!

TL Note-Give humanity fire.....
