Zhao Yi’s presentation on ’space shuttling’ experintation brought a trendous shock to everyone present.
So people were hearing for the first ti that Z-Wave Compression could allow a spacecraft to achieve space shuttling; it was as if they had attended a futuristic technology conference or even just imagined such technologies, yet it was clear the discussion was about reality, about an experint soon to be conducted.
After leaving the conference room, they still felt sowhat dazed.
Until then, they knew of Z-waves, but only as a weapon, leading to the creation of Z-wave satellites.
Latter, they learned that Z-waves could be used to manufacture new types of materials.
Now, hearing that the greatest application of Z-waves was to enable cosmic shuttling for spacecraft, they found it utterly incredible.
Had technology developed to this extent?
Was humanity about to conquer the cosmos?
Many people felt a sense of unreality, as if what they heard at the eting was all a dream.
Then there was a significant portion who had heard of Zhao Yi’s role in Z-wave space shuttling, but they also regarded it rely as a plan for future developnt.
For instance, before computers beca common, there were those proclaiming that every family would one day use a computer.
Go back thirty years, and nobody would have believed such a thing; most ordinary families couldn’t even afford a television back then, and those who were better off had no use for a computer. rely being able to type on a computer was considered remarkable.
When those proclamations were made, people just felt they were fantasies about future developnt.
So they didn’t take them very seriously, instead focusing on Z-wave’s potential as a weapon and its ability to create new materials.
Now, Zhao Yi’s ntion of leaving interfaces on the space station for later installation of the Z-generator to assist with space shuttling experints seed incredible.
With the space station set to launch soon, at most within three months, calculating the ti, the Z-generator installation would be delayed by at most six months, and space shuttling experints could take place within a year.
If no major issues arose, within a year they might witness the kind of space shuttling previously seen only in science fiction movies.
Just the thought was emotionally complicated, giving the impression that technological developnt was proceeding far too rapidly, with humanity moving to conquer space before fully mastering Earth.
At the sa ti, many also considered another major issue—
the space shuttle project.
The high-level scientific conferences recently kept discussing the space shuttle project, and since it was proposed by Zhao Yi and had garnered quite so support, it sparked extensive discussions despite only being in the discussion phase.
The project seed difficult to get approved due to the massive amount of funding required; conservatively estimated, the initial investnt would exceed one hundred billion, with an unknown amount needed subsequently.
Furthermore, the project’s developnt approach also sparked considerable debate.
Owing to the significant funds and advanced technology involved, so proposed a joint effort with other capable organizations.
This idea won a lot of support as a collaborative approach had many benefits, such as increasing global technological influence and significantly reducing financial investnt.
Additionally, conquering the cosmos seed like an ’Earth’ mission, one that should involve joining forces with all of humanity to work on related projects.
Of course, regardless of how the project proceeds, the first step is to get it approved before debating developnt approaches.
Previously, they were certain that it would take several years to decide whether to invest in research and developnt, but now they realized that perhaps the project could be approved right away.
As long as the space shuttling experint succeeded and with the gradually maturing anti-gravity technology and the fusion device in developnt, technically there would be no more challenges.
In any large-scale research and developnt project, there are two essential elents—
One is technology, and the other is materials.
With the core technology in place and Z-wave also capable of producing high-strength compression materials suitable for the cosmic environnt, it ant that they had overco the main hurdles.
Other ancillary technologies seed to pose no difficulty whatsoever.
After the eting ended, many were still discussing it in low tones.
They were filled with anticipation.
But their current task was to inspect the construction of the large-scale anti-gravity propulsor.
Since there had already been several successful experiences with small anti-gravity propulsors sending satellites into space, a large-scale anti-gravity propulsor posed no direct technical challenge, being just relatively more complex.
Under the leadership of the head of the Aerospace Bureau, a group toured the large-scale anti-gravity propulsor.
The large-scale anti-gravity propulsor was roughly four stories tall and looked very massive; one could see from below that it was shaped like an inverted cone, with scaffolding all around it.
Upon entering, they examined the internal components and equipnt through the various openings.
Most of the interior consisted of beam tubing and reserved interfaces for high-energy beam equipnt, which had not yet been installed. The person in charge began to introduce the materials, performance, and other parater indicators, then ntioned, "We’ve prepared to coat this propulsor with a high-density aluminum-magnesium alloy layer."
"The high-density aluminum-magnesium alloy layer is a material developed by the Z-wave research team, effective against radiation and electron beams; it will significantly reduce the impact of space on the propulsor. After returning to Earth and a simple maintenance, it can be reused."
