Xia Shiyu originally planned to attend this Silicon Valley Innovation and Entrepreneurship Conference on her own. As a corporate executive of Future People Group, she could indeed represent Future People Group to a certain extent. The reason for making such considerations was mainly because of concerns about Jiang Chen's safety.
Jiang Chen tried his best to persuade Xia Shiyu to go there in person.
It seems that his business has covered most of the United States, but he has never been there in person.
In addition, California, where Silicon Valley is located, is right on the edge of Nevada. Taking this opportunity, he also wanted to personally "visit" the mysterious Area 51 to see what the Americans are researching inside.
Before flying to Los Angeles, there was good news from the apocalyptic side.
The long-distance power transmission equipment that Jiang Chen had been asking the Beluga Haiti Research Station to search for finally had some clues. Wu Yue, who often lives in the Sixth Block, conveyed the news to Chu Nan, who fed it back to the Fish Bone Base.
When Sun Jiao told Jiang Chen the good news, Jiang Chen immediately returned to the apocalypse and went to the Sixth Street District to find Wu Yue.
In front of the warehouse in the sixth block, a sentry wearing an exoskeleton stood at attention, saluted, and opened the iron door for Jiang Chen.
The dry breath hit his face. Jiang Chen walked into the bright warehouse and soon saw Wu Yue standing on a platform, as well as the researchers from Camp 27 busy around the platform.
"We meet again, Mr. Marshal."
Wu Yue came forward with a smile, stretched out his hand and shook Jiang Chen tightly.
"Long time no see," Jiang Chen smiled and let go of his hand, "I didn't expect that after so long, you would still be sitting in the ambassador's seat."
"Are you surprised?" Wu Yue spread his hands and said with a smile.
"No, I'm just curious about why you weren't promoted. Let's not talk about it anymore. Where are the things?"
Jiang Chen looked around and didn't see what he expected in the warehouse.
Hearing this, Wu Yue smiled and stamped his feet.
"Right at our feet."
Slightly startled, Jiang Chen looked down at his feet.
If you look closely, there is something really special about this hexagonal platform.
On the shell painted dark black, you can see small scaly bulges, about the size of a thumb, neatly arranged into a net, covering the hexagonal platform.
However, Jiang Chen never expected that this hexagonal platform covering an area of more than one square meter would actually be part of a long-distance wireless power transmission equipment.
"How does this thing work? Can you show me how it works?"
Jiang Chen casually stepped on the surface of the platform. Apart from feeling that the surface material was very soft, he didn't notice anything special.
"This thing works in outer space and cannot be used in the atmosphere." Wu Yue shook his head and pointed at the NAC researchers, "You might as well ask your subordinates about the specific working principle. I don't know much. … Well, let’s settle the bill first.”
Speaking of settling the bill, Wu Yue's smile immediately appeared on his face.
Jiang Chen didn't waste any time talking to him. He clicked on his watch, pulled out the data cable and connected it directly to his EP, and then transferred 10,000 credits to his account. Seeing the string of numbers, Wu Yue's smile became even bigger. He bowed respectfully to Jiang Chen and left the warehouse.
Ten thousand credits, the purchasing power is equivalent to one hundred thousand crystals, enough for the Beluga Research Station to purchase supplies in the sixth block for an entire month. If you cooperate with businessmen, you have to travel as far as Japan's Honshu Island four times to earn so much.
Helping the NAC military government to salvage station equipment is a lucrative job for the people at the Beluga Research Station.
After Wu Yue left, Jiang Chen found the researcher who was busy on the computer next to the platform and asked him how to use the device.
Seeing the marshal asking him questions, the technician named Luo Yong was very excited. He put down what he was doing and led Jiang Chen straight to an instrument in the corner of the warehouse. I saw a transparent plexiglass tube about one meter long lying across the iron box that looked like a wardrobe.
"This is a device that simulates wireless power transmission in the outer space environment. Electric energy is converted into energy-carrying laser beams at the a pole of the aurora, and converted into electrical energy at the b pole. Now the glass tube is evacuated to a state of near vacuum. Prevent the transmission laser from being lost in the form of heat energy." Luo Yong explained the technical connotation to Jiang Chen in layman's language, while reaching out to open the holographic screen and pressing the start button of the device.
He clicked his fingers on it a few times to set the transmission power. One end of the glass tube began to light up, and the indicator marking the electrical power degree began to beat, and finally stopped at 21k.
In an instant, the blue laser filled the entire vacuum tube, like a flowing liquid, bright but not dazzling. At the same time, the indicator degree opposite to the other pole of the vacuum tube also began to jump. When the surging laser stabilized, the degree finally stopped at the position.
Even considering that the distance is only one meter long, the power loss of 0.014% is quite outrageous. Unlike traditional power transmission methods, under ideal conditions, this laser power transmission does not pass through a medium, so there is no so-called resistance and heating loss.
As long as there are as few media on the optical path as possible and the light beam is as concentrated as possible, electrical energy can be stably transmitted from one pole to the other across a distance of tens of thousands or even millions of kilometers with very low loss.
By then, the helium 3 mined from the moon will not need to be transported to the earth by spacecraft. It will be directly converted into electrical energy at the moon's nuclear fusion power station, and then "fired" directly to the end of the space elevator in outer space using this laser power transmission method. After being converted into electrical energy, it is then transmitted to the ground power grid via superconductor lines.
"Because of the plexiglass material, we can observe the laser beam with the naked eye. Although it looks very gentle, it is also a loss of electrical energy. However, in the actual universe, this beam is invisible. In other words, only The blue stripe of light can only be observed in areas close to the Earth, or where dust lanes or water molecule clusters happen to pass by."
While introducing Jiang Chen, Wu Yue turned off the device.
"If a spacecraft passes by this laser beam, wouldn't it be dangerous?" Jiang Chen suddenly thought of a very serious problem.
Tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of meters of electricity are converted into lasers. This is simply a moon-based laser turret! If some kind of spaceship or rocket passes through the middle of this light path, shouldn't it be directly baked into molten iron
Also, if this laser accidentally misses the target and hits the earth...
Jiang Chen was really afraid of directly poking a hole in the atmosphere.
"This worry is unnecessary." Luo Yong said with a smile, "Generally speaking, the light path will be marked on the navigator of the spacecraft. Without that spacecraft, it would fly over, just like we would not be idle carrying a ladder and touching high-voltage wires. Same."
"Then what if the laser misses?" Jiang Chen asked. (.)
