Chapter 406

Lawrence doesn't know that he has become a glorious reserve player, but it doesn't prevent him from experiencing the shock of cloud Research Institute to ordinary people.

All kinds of high-tech equipment and technologies that have led 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 turn red.

The "Prometheus" plan is just an idea of Lawrence. He originally thought that Earth Science and technology could not be realized until hundreds of years later. However, in front of Lawrence, the difficult problems in the theory were solved one by one, of which more than 80% of the technical details were never seen by Lawrence.

However, with the amazing ability that Captain ghost has always shown, Lawrence can treat it with an ordinary mind, but another thing makes him unable to calm down.

That's the Scientific Research Institute... There are only 16 scientists!

Sixteen scientists and three part-time new product testers are said to be all the living people in the Institute, while the rest are countless robot assistants.

This figure can be said to be far lower than Lawrence and even everyone's imagination.

Even for his own small laboratory, there are more than 30 assistants, not counting chores, and there are only 16 people in the cloud Research Institute, which is known as black technology everywhere and countless R & D achievements?!

Who can believe it? It's not possible to fully automate scientific research?

In the virtual world, Yu Lao and others show themselves as small robots without revealing their identity.

But through the communication of Prometheus project during this period, Lawrence can vaguely realize that these people should be the same kind of people as himself.

They are very familiar with the scientific research environment on earth, and have a mature character brought by age. They are experienced, wise and knowledgeable, love to drill through the horns, and are particularly stubborn. They all reveal a taste familiar to Lawrence

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

But the difference is that they seem to have a youthful vitality in these characteristics, which makes Lawrence feel some contradictions.

Lawrence was even more shocked by the "inhuman" ability shown by Yu Lao and others.

Proficient in many foreign languages! Interdisciplinary and all fields are covered, and the level is as high as several floors!

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

The work efficiency is amazing. The scheme put forward in the morning often has specific laboratory verification results in less than two hours.

He was so knowledgeable that he couldn't understand it. He almost picked up all kinds of theories and technologies. In a few words, he could tell the conclusion that Lawrence needed to think for a long time.

Even in his professional field, in terms of theoretical level and scientific research skills, Lawrence was frustrated to find that he was crushed by everyone present in an all-round way.

You know, among these people, only five are experts in physics, and the rest are experts in chemistry, mathematics and even biology.

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

He finally knows why only 16 people can support the name of the strongest scientific research institute.

If there is such a scientist, Lawrence will tell himself that there are always one or two unreasonable geniuses in the world, but there are sixteen such people at once. Even if he is stupid, he knows there must be a problem.

It is said that the ghost captain's human body enhancement technology is unparalleled in the world. The ghost knight can even avoid bullets. Looking only at the ability shown by these scientists, Lawrence knows that there is no reason.

However, when he asked if this kind of body strengthening could be exchanged, what he got was the old meaningful "internal employee welfare"

Lawrence is deeply envious of this employee welfare!

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

"What a paradise of Science..." Lawrence sighed as he looked at the spacecraft approaching the sun.

This is why Nie Yun arranged Lawrence to participate in the plan. As long as he is a scientist pursuing truth, he can't be indifferent to the scientific research environment like the cloud.

"Drop! The ship has reached the preset location!" at this time, the prompt of the system sounded, interrupting Lawrence's thoughts.

The spaceship in the picture turns off its thrusters and sails slowly forward relying on inertia.

"Although the boss didn't come, it's a revolutionary Galaxy level project after all, and the ribbon cutting ceremony still needs to be continued. Mr. Lawrence, you are the proponent of the theory of the plan, let you do it." Yu Lao made an invitation gesture.

Lawrence immediately saw a virtual operation panel with a red handprint on it.

"No, no, I just put forward the inspiration of the design. I hardly helped in the specific implementation process. This honor should belong to everyone here." Lawrence quickly declined.

To tell the truth, in the second half of the implementation of the plan, Lawrence felt that he could not keep up with the old people, and his technical accumulation was still too weak.

The so-called "the achiever comes first". Lawrence soon put his posture right after entering the team. He came to learn.

"Hehe, inspiration is the most precious thing for science. I look forward to you providing more inspiration for the earth." Yu smiled and asked again.

Lawrence insisted, which made him feel embarrassed and put his hand on it.

"Drop! Prometheus system is officially launched!"

Then Lawrence saw the spaceship in the picture begin to expand slowly.

First, the second half of the hull was opened, and eight groups of parallel thrusters suddenly split and separated in eight directions.

The interior of the spherical spacecraft is filled with a thin and almost transparent film. Eight groups of thrusters spray the tail flame, fly slowly in eight directions, and pull the film behind them to open slowly.

The next picture is like opening a parachute, and the open film area is getting larger and larger.

10 square kilometers... 100 square kilometers... 10000 square kilometers... 100000 square kilometers

Under the action of the solar wind, the huge film inflated slightly backward, and finally formed an umbrella with a center pointing to the sun.

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

After the final attitude adjustment of the eight groups of thrusters to keep the whole system relatively stationary with the sun, they also shut down slowly.

"Flare 1, track deviation 0.001%, anchoring completed!"

The inspiration of Prometheus project comes from Dyson ball, but Dyson ball's idea is not only too huge, but also has many difficulties.

For example, how does the construction material withstand high temperature? How to deal with the huge internal stress caused by solar gravity? How to transport energy?

Lawrence proposed a way to replace solid materials with transparent solar films, and use flexible films to avoid huge internal stress and reduce 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 entered, this civil technology has developed rapidly.

The unique parachute design refers to the solar sail theory.

As long as the film density and orbit are reasonable, the solar gravity and solar wind on the film will counteract each other, so as to maintain the orbit stability and avoid stress tearing.

In addition, the specially designed transparent film can add thermal radiation reflection coating according to its own temperature bearing capacity, and adjust its own transmittance to minimize the heat absorbed by itself.

Then, taking solar gravity, solar wind and revolution speed as parameters, Lawrence designed a stable orbit calculation formula to calculate the anchored orbit.

This is the smallest component of the "Prometheus" plan to steal fire - "Torch"!
