There had been rumors that a dostic spaceship project would be launched, but without official news and no coverage from major dia, many people thought it was fake. They believed that even if a spaceship was to be manufactured, it would definitely be sothing for the next ten or twenty years.
Now, the officials have made an announcent and also established the Spaceship Engineering Manufacturing Company, which is tantamount to directly confirming the start of the spaceship manufacturing project.
This is indeed a major endeavor, sowhat beyond imagination.
Along with the public statent, officials also posted a design diagram of the spaceship.
It’s a logical concept diagram, but the concept diagram clearly labeled the nas of the various parts that make up the spaceship design.
The design drawing of the spaceship imdiately sparked heated discussions. Anyone familiar with the latest technology could understand the content of the logical concept diagram.
"At the top is the space shuttle technology induction device, which is the sa as the one installed in space, except with an extra pointed thing at the front, that looks like wings that are going to unfold."
"The middle part is marked as the energy power cabin, which should be a nuclear power device. I wonder if it’s a nuclear fusion or fission device?"
"Didn’t they say so ti ago? The nuclear fusion experint was successful, though it only lasted for seven hours, but in the future, the duration will surely be longer, possibly lasting several months."
"Nuclear fusion is different from nuclear fission, as it produces no waste and has very low radioactivity. Refueling is easier, and as long as it can be maintained for over two months, theoretically, it can continue indefinitely because fuel can be added continuously during the journey. Of course, it’s definitely not as simple as refueling a car, but not as complex as ordinary nuclear fusion reactors either."
"This ans the country will soon possess mature controlled nuclear fusion technology, it’s just that the cost of use is unknown!"
"If it can be placed on a spaceship, a higher cost is acceptable. The main thing is that this technology can drive the manufacture of spaceships."
"The lowest level is the large personnel cabin, which must include large anti-gravity devices."
Public opinion and discussions have more or less analyzed the structure of the spaceship.
The conceptual design of the spaceship is also considered the standard model for future spaceships.
In fact, the conceptual drawing of the spaceship does not look perfect on the outside, it is sowhat lacking in aesthetic appeal compared to so science fiction movies’ spacecraft.
However, this conceptual drawing is very realistic, with each part’s function being obvious.
Upon seeing the official’s announcent, many international organizations expressed their desire to participate in the spaceship project, as it will certainly include so of the latest high-tech secrets, which they do not possess, and even fail to understand the theoretical basis of.
Without a spaceship project, it was sowhat manageable, but with a spaceship project in the works, not participating would an falling behind, and other participating organizations would surely get a significant boost in technology and theory.
Besides, there are interests.
The spaceship project is definitely an enormous undertaking, involving funds amounting to billions.
If a dium-sized manufacturing company joined in, they might not have to worry about future orders and could even significantly improve their manufacturing technology.
These are obvious advantages.
However, joining is not easy, as science has national boundaries. Other organizations cannot simply join if they desire; they must also face other forms of public opinion pressure.
For instance, after the spaceship project was disclosed, there were even claims in the public demanding that the dostic related organizations disclose the latest scientific theories, or even all technical details.
They specifically talked about the start-up technology for space shuttling.
This technology was nad ’energy beam technology’ by the Institute of chanics, as they discovered in their study of mysterious rays that these rays could enhance energy.
Of course, that was impossible.
No scientific research institution would openly share a newly developed technology internationally.
The public opinion lasted a long ti and brought considerable pressure.
Then, suddenly, there was news that the country couldn’t withstand the pressure of public opinion and decided to disclose the Z-wave technology?
This news sounded fake, it was hard to imagine that a never-before-seen high-tech would be disclosed due to the pressure of public opinion.
However, upon closer consideration, it seed possible, because the news ntioned ’Z-wave’.
Internationally, ’Z-wave’ had always been referred to as energy beam, they were unaware of the term ’Z-wave’ until the news ca out, after which they learned it was the dostic definition.
"Energy beam, why is it called Z-wave?"
"This naming is quite interesting, could it be because of Zhao Yi? As far as I know, the first letter of the pinyin for the Chinese character ’Zhao’ is Z."
"Maybe it’s ZERO? Zero Wave?"
"Zero Wave, that seems to make sense. If it’s Zero Wave, does that an that Z-wave is a ’virtual ray’ and doesn’t possess actual particle energy?"
"That’s logical—"
A multitude of mixed comnts could actually deduce so technical matters, which goes to show that there are indeed many experts among the public.
The rumors were not unfounded.
Dostically, preparations were underway for a public Z-wave experint, but it was not an experint in space traversal. It was a Z-wave strike experint.
This experint was not made public to the world, and there was no live coverage or broadcasting. It was conducted like a routine military exercise, a ’regular’ Z-wave weapons strike test, except dostic and foreign journalists were allowed into the Experint Center and the command center for routine filming and interviews.
The journalists who entered that day thought it was just a routine exercise, only puzzled by the ntion of a Z-wave strike experint, but they did not have the right to ask questions and could only film what they saw.
Then, they witnessed the command center preparing for the first test.
"First experint, target ready!"
"Warplane ready!"
"Take off!"
The screen displayed a high-speed flying fighter jet.
It was a light third-generation fighter jet equipped with a foreign engine, capable of supersonic flight. The fighter took off with an imnsely proud posture, rapidly ascending into the sky.
At this point, the commanding officer shouted, "Pilot, prepare!"
"Eject!"
The pilot quickly opened the ejection seat and was instantly propelled out of the cockpit, then deployed the parachute to descend.
Under the bewildered gazes of the journalists, the commander yelled, "Strike, prepare!"
"3!"
"2!"
"1!"
"Boom!"
The fighter jet in the sky, without any resistance, suddenly turned into a cloud of smoke, followed by a thunderous noise.
All the journalists were dumbstruck, "What’s going on here? Was it hit by a shell?"
"Is a war going to break out? This is terrifying!"
"I didn’t see any anti-air missiles. How did it just explode all of a sudden!"
They were quite perplexed.
Half an hour later, preparation for the second experint began. A ship appeared on the screen, looking quite magnificent. However, a journalist knowledgeable about ships recognized it as an escort vessel from decades ago.
The escort vessel was sailing at a high speed of thirty-five knots.
For large ships, thirty-five knots was quite fast. One could see the water being parted and swiftly pushed to either side, displaying the escort ship’s proud stance.
"Strike, prepare!"
The sa command shouted by the commanding officer made all the journalists jump in alarm, "Could it be—?"
"3, 2, 1!"
"Boom!"
There seed to be no delay at all, the next mont sparks burst out from the center of the escort ship, and it quickly turned into a fire that reached to the heavens. After burning for more than twenty minutes, the vessel slowly sank.
"It’s really—"
"Sunk!"
"But, how was it sunk? I didn’t see anything at all. Could it be self-destruction?"
