Chapter 681 Preparing for the Future

The spacecraft, by accident, can't help much.

While there is probably nothing wrong with self-learning in the relevant fields at his current engineering level, a person's energy is limited, after all, and it is the most appropriate option to devote limited energy to the cause with the highest return.

Over these days, the ark has essentially been refining its acoustic fusion device with a view to maximizing the volume energy density of the reactor, while concentrating more heat discharged in the ionization chamber of the Hall thrusters in addition to power generation, so that excess heat can be discharged from the spacecraft through high-temperature plasma to alleviate the difficulty of dissipating heat in the space environment.

Fortunately, due to the presence of Em, his work is much less difficult.

With a laptop, even sitting in an office, he was able to remotely operate the reactor through a dozen kilometers of industrial robots, with the help of Em, and experiment with some interesting ideas.

At present, the ship has succeeded in increasing the power of the acoustic fusion device to near 200MW, at the cost of just increasing the core volume by 20% and the weight by 10%. Overall, both volumetric and mass energy densities have improved considerably.

Although there is still a certain distance from the 500MW minimum, the Ark believes that he is not far from success.

In addition to improving fusion batteries, there are bidding documents.

The year-end bidding conference will be held in less than a month. There are many space enterprises participating in the bidding conference, not only the space, the two major space central enterprises in Aeronautics and Technology, but also the outstanding private space enterprises such as onespace, Blue Arrow, and even the three giants of BAT have come to respond to the national call... or lively.

After all, investing in space can benefit from tax incentives in other businesses. For these large taxpayers, it is simply the state that subsidizes their development of space business, not to mention their own communication launch needs.

Time passes day by day, and it soon reaches late September.

And in the last week of September, Brother Ross finally came back from Europe.

Watching the Dusty Servant walk into the office, the boat asked for an interesting question.

“Find any inspiration? ”

Luo Wenxuan coughed dry.

“Inspiration for this thing… can't be rushed, it comes naturally. ”

“Then don't wait. I have a task for you. ”

As soon as we heard about the new project, Luo Wenxuan immediately came to the spirit.

“What mission? ”

Instead of immediately telling him what he intends to do, the ship continues to ask.

“How long have you been in CERN? ”

Luo Wenxuan: “It takes about three years to calculate. ”

“Three years?” The Ark nodded, "Do you know much about the Hadron Collider? ”

I don't know why the Ark asked, but Rowenxuan answered honestly: “Know something, I have a good relationship with Professor Greer. He often shows me the tunnels underneath, as well as maintenance work on several detectors of ATLAS and CMS, which I have also seen beside. ”

“Greer?” A nostalgic smile appeared on the face of the ark, "an interesting guy. ”

“You know him, too?” Rowenxuan looked at the ark in surprise and then patted himself in the head and said, "Oh, yeah, I almost forgot, you interned at CERN too. ”

“Yes, but I don't know much about CERN, especially the LCHb LHC,” and speaking of which, the ark paused for a moment and finally came to the point, "I'm going to build a similar thing to study theoretical physics. ”

“Build a similar one?” Rowenxuan's eyes were slightly widened, incredibly staring at the ark, "are you going to build a collider? Do you know how much that thing costs? ”

The Ark laughed and said, "Around ten billion dollars, or dollars? In fact, maybe not that much, and... I'm not going to build on the ground, I'm going to build space. ”

Shocked by this crazy thought, Rowenxuan opened his mouth and spoke for a while.

“… I feel that more money is needed. ”

Ark: “You don't have to worry about money, that's what I'm worried about. And now it's not time to spend money, and what I need you to do is work on design. ”

Luo Wenxuan was slightly embarrassed: "… but I'm not doing engineering physics. ”

“I know, but you are an expert in theoretical physics, and you have at least three years of experience working at CERN," said Brother Luo, looking at the ark, "I will leave engineering matters to specialists, and you will provide theoretical support to the design unit. Of course, if you're not interested, I'll ask someone else. ”

“How could I not be interested... I am afraid to pit you. ”

“It's okay, I'm not afraid of anything," Ark slapped Brother Lo's shoulder and said with a smile, “I look after you. ”

The idea of constructing a large Hadron Collider in outer space for research in the field of theoretical physics in low-gravity, magnetic field environments has long been shared by the Ark, but has suffered from unconditional realization.

Now that controllable fusion technology has broken through, advanced electrical propulsion systems will usher in a new era of space, an idea that once seemed impractical and which is not yet necessarily possible.

No matter how difficult it seems now, design work is ready to begin.

Reaching out and scratching his head, Rowenxuan sighed.

“Come on, just tell me what you need. ”

The ark nodded down.

“Well, I'll send you the exact things you need to do in a couple of days' time, so you can go back. ”

Luo Wenxuan smiled and said something.

“Are you kicking me back? Don't buy me a cup of coffee before I go. ”

The boat looked up and stood in front of the coffee maker with his arms in his arms, waiting for the water to burn, and shouted.

“Kong Jie, please make me two cups of coffee, one instant, one pure black, no sugar. ”

“Okay.” Gently lowered his head to the ark, Konji removed an instant coffee from the drawer and a jar of coarsely ground coffee beans, skillfully brewed a cup of coffee for each of them, and placed it in a tray and walked this way.

“Enjoy your coffee. ”

“Thanks.”

Kongjie smiled, her index fingers gently swept the long, slightly curly hair of the lower corner, her hands raised and her feet filled with mature women's intelligence and elegance as always.

“You're welcome. ”

After bringing the coffee for the two of them, Konjie went back to the coffee maker and made herself a cup, then walked back to the desk by the window and sat down and started working today.

With a cup of coffee in his hand, the boat gently sighed close to his lips.

Nice.

The fragrance and temperature are just right and he's familiar with the smell.

Dropping the cup, the ark looked at the other cup, which was still in the tray, looked up at Rowenxuan, who was stunned there, and said something.

“Didn't you ask me to buy you a drink? Why don't you drink it again? ”

“I…”

Luo Wenxuan opened his mouth like a mute and did not speak for half a day.

He looked nervously at the back of his eyes, looked at the ark again and looked at his face.

The look on his face was uncomfortable, and the ark sighed and put down the cup in his hand.

“Come on, what else? ”

Luo Wenxuan: “Uh, suddenly I want to ask you some questions… ”

The Ark looked at him boringly.

“Say it.”

“Is she… your assistant? ”

The ark stunned slightly and looked at Brother Luo's gaze. He saw Kong Jie sitting at the desk by the window, tidying up the documents in his hand.

“… well, what's the matter? ”

Rowenxuan nodded at the ark and continued immediately.

“Do you have a boyfriend? ”

In a flash of Brother Luo's hot eyes, the ark almost didn't have a bite of coffee sprayed out, snapped down the coffee cup in his hand, stared at him severely, and lowered his voice.

“I'm warning you! I have no problem with you harming people. If you dare to attack my students or anyone in my office--”

“Am I that kind of person! I…” panicked and looked at the direction of Eyehole Jie, Rowenxuan then turned his head towards the ark, expressing a rare embarrassment, and then his gaze drifted out the window again, "… I meant it this time. ”

The look on the ark's face was silent.

Similar words, his ears were almost cocooned.

“When were you not serious? ”

“Every time… but this time it's different, it's different than every time. Lu, you know what? Love is so sudden, like an electron that is free from the nucleus, you never know where it will appear the next second, but I know it is now. ”

I can't...

I threw up...

His right hand clamped against the table and the ark made a nauseating motion.

Rowenxuan pretended not to see it and his eyes kept staring out the window.

“Look me in the eye and repeat what you said. ”

“No, I only look at beautiful women. ”

“I believe you, motherfucker! ”
