Chapter 230, Anti-Gravity Technology
Li Fu knew very well that with the current strong strength of Fuyun Group, he could express his dissatisfaction to Wang Aiguo and Tang Yunshan in the form of a strike.
It is also possible to stop providing super-large plasma engines to the country. In this way, even if these heavy industry groups can build frigates, they do not have the super-large plasma engines provided by Fuyun Group, and these frigates are just some iron lumps.
Fuyun Group has mastered the most core and critical technology. Even for Dumbo and Big Elephant Spaceship, Fuyun Group can sign an agreement with those buyers. The mining asteroids must be sold first to Fuyun Group, etc. Fuyun Group has many means to easily grab enough resources.
However, Li Fu did not intend to do this, because it would not be of any benefit to Li Fu. It would only push himself to the forefront and hit others' thoughts.
They wish Li Fu was facing the official confrontation, so they had reason to suggest to the official that some measures were taken against Fuyun Group. Not to mention anything else, just an anti-monopoly would be enough to break the Fuyun Group apart.
Furthermore, Li Fu is also very clear about why senior executives such as Tang Yunshan are so anxious to build their own cosmic army, because they are always very worried about the invasion of alien civilizations.
If Li Fu was stingy in this matter, Tang Yunshan might be able to ensure the resource needs of Fuyun Group, but Li Fu's image has always been erected will fail, not to mention that Li Fu also knows the importance of it.
Others may not know why China is so anxious to build a cosmic army, so it can shamelessly seize resources, but Li Fu is not good. He has to start from the perspective of the entire earthlings and the fundamental interests, and of course, most fundamentally, it is also from Li Fu's own interests.
"Brother Fu, it's not difficult to mine ourselves. But if we want to meet the needs, we need to mine at least 15 asteroids of tens of millions of tons every year. If we calculate it, we need dozens of teams and more than ten large spacecraft."
"We didn't plan to mine asteroids at first, so we didn't leave any of the large spacecraft we produced. The orders in the later stage were all full. If we wanted to squeeze out more than ten spacecraft, the impact would be quite big."
When Chen Bin heard Li Fu's words, he kept calculating in his mind, and then shook his head and said.
"What does it mean to mine 10 million tons of asteroids each time? We are the founders of this, and we have to make a big deal. If we can mine hundreds of millions of tons of asteroids at a time, we will mine once or twice a year to meet the needs of resources."
Li Fu smiled mysteriously. Dumbo spacecraft can drag asteroids of up to tens of millions of tons. Of course, in general, it can reach about 9 million tons, even if it is very good, it often drags 7 million, or about 8 million tons of iron-rich asteroids can make a lot of money.
As for the Big Flying Elephant Spaceship, the output is still very rare now. The most important thing is that the price is too high, with a price of up to hundreds of billions of Chinese coins. Even crazy capitalists have to carefully consider their own wallets.
The Big Elephant Spaceship is an upgraded version of the Dumb Elephant Spaceship. It can theoretically drag asteroids of 50 million tons, but when it is actually done, it is very good to be able to haul an iron-rich asteroid about 30 million tons. If you can encounter an asteroid about 40 million tons, you will be lucky.
Li Fu has now proposed to mine asteroids worth hundreds of millions of tons at a time. It is obvious that the Dumbo spacecraft and the Big Flying Elephant Spacecraft cannot meet the needs, and it is necessary to build more advanced spacecraft.
"Asteroids with hundreds of millions of tons?"
When the others heard this, they all widened their eyes. They were all experts in the field of aerospace power, and naturally they also knew how huge the power needed to mine hundreds of millions of tons of asteroids was. This required a super-large plasma engine to meet it, and it was quite barely enough.
The mass of the "Huashan" is as high as 1 billion tons, but according to the design, it requires more than a dozen super-large plasma engines to meet the needs.
Plasma power, like jet power, also has a limit. Just like once a jet-powered fighter reaches Mach 3, it is almost impossible to speed up the speed, because the thrust generated by the jet power system is no longer enough to increase the speed of the fighter.
The same is true for plasma power, and there is also a limit. Theoretically, a single super-large plasma power engine can drive an object of 1 billion tons, but this is just a theory. In actual operation, it is difficult to reach the limit at all.
Therefore, if you want to mine an asteroid of hundreds of millions of tons, if you still use a plasma power system, you must use an ultra-large plasma engine. However, this ultra-large plasma engine itself is extremely expensive, and the key is that it requires a very large spacecraft and space warship to match it.
It is impossible to say that a frigate-level spacecraft as huge as the Hengshan and Songshan will be used to mine asteroids. This is a bit too useless.
Moreover, to build such a huge spacecraft, it will consume a lot of steel resources and take several years, which will have no effect on alleviating the current situation.
"Brother Fu, what are we going to mine hundreds of millions of tons of asteroids?"
Yu Liang seemed to have thought of it, and said with his eyes lit up. After being with Li Fu for a long time, he knew that Li Fu seemed to contain infinite possibilities, so there was no problem that could stump Li Fu.
"It is very unprofitable to build a large spacecraft with super-large plasma engines to mine asteroids, and it takes a long time to solve the problem at all."
Chen Bin is relatively simpler in his mind, and is still calculating at this time, guessing how to mine hundreds of millions of tons of asteroids.
"Brother Fu must have new power technology."
Cao Haitao touched his chin, looking thoughtful.
"New power technology? What technology?"
It was only at this time that Chen Bin suddenly realized and asked Li Fu quickly.
"Traditional plasma technology is naturally very unprofitable. We have no plans to lose money. We are a high-tech enterprise, so we naturally need to constantly innovate and study new technologies."
Li Fu's closeness was made. Power technology gradually developed from the earliest steam power to internal combustion engines, to motors and plasma power. It can be said that every transformation of power technology is a huge leap in human history. From the first industrial revolution to the second, the third industrial revolution, and to the current interstellar era, it is almost all power technology that determines everything.
“What technology?”
Chen Bin, Yu Liang, Cao Haitao and others asked almost in unison, each with anticipation.
“Anti-gravity technology!”
Li Fu gently spit out a few words.
“Anti-gravity technology?”
When a few people heard this, they followed each other and then kept thinking in their minds.
The so-called anti-gravity technology is a theoretical dynamic technology. Its theory is very simple. In the vast universe, no matter what object is controlled by gravity.
The moon is dominated by the gravity of the earth, so the moon revolves around the earth; the eight planets such as Earth, Mars, Venus are dominated by the gravity of the sun, so they all revolve around the solar system; the solar system, Centaurus galaxy, Canis galaxy and other countless stellar systems are dominated by powerful black holes in the center of the Milky Way, so the matter in the entire Milky Way also revolves around the Milky Way. According to scientists' calculations, the time for the solar system to orbit the Milky Way is about 220 million years to 250 million years, and this cycle can be called the year of the universe or the year of the galaxy.
Of course, although the Milky Way is very large, it is not unchanging. It is also dominated by a powerful force and is also moving in the universe at an unexpected speed. It can be said that everything in the universe is dominated by powerful forces, and this power is gravity.
After understanding the universal gravity that dominates everything in the universe, scientists wonder whether it is possible to use this universal gravity that is widely present in the universe to obtain power. This is the theory of anti-gravity technology. Of course, in the true sense, it cannot be said to be anti-gravity technology, but it should be called universal gravity dynamic technology.
However, in the early stages, the universal gravity that can be used is generally the gravity of the planet, that is, gravity, so it is called anti-gravity technology. If it can be developed and developed to a relatively advanced level, it can be called universal gravity dynamic technology.
Once it reaches that level, the gravity used is no longer limited to the planet, but can be the gravity of stars or the terrible power that dominates the river galaxy.
Although we can also know the theory of anti-gravity technology, it is very difficult to truly implement anti-gravity technology. Just like we all know Einstein's mass-energy formula, we will be slandered when we ask us to study the atomic bomb and have no idea where to start. Otherwise, countries around the world would have already mastered nuclear bomb technology.
Chen Bin, Yu Liang, Cao Haitao and others also know the theoretical technology of anti-gravity, but if we really study anti-gravity technology, everyone is also unlucky and has no idea how to start. Although they all know that Li Fu's most important energy has been focusing on the research of new power technologies over the years.
It was originally thought that Li Fu was studying plasma power technology, and Li Fu had never made any statement to the outside world. Unexpectedly, Li Fu was actually studying anti-gravity technology. This technology that exists in theory is also a technology with unlimited future.
