Lazy God Possession

Vol 2 Chapter 1179: : Arms Race

Dozens of technicians are staring nervously at the test situation at an air force base in the desert in the United States, Nevada.

A beam of laser light shot from the ground into the sky. After a few seconds, it shot back from the sky. The staff nervously inspected the returned packets, analyzed the bit error rate, checked the communication protocol, and tested and adjusted the shooting equipment.

And in the Pentagon thousands of miles away, or generals wearing military uniforms, or politicians in suits and leather suits, are waiting for the result.

At an emergency meeting of the Cabinet some time ago, the United States made a major resolution, which will devote all its energy to the exhibition of space technology and strive to colonize Mars at the fastest rate!

At the Cabinet meeting, the current president's tone was very resolute: "4oo years ago, our ancestors took the Mayflower, left Europe, and came to this new big 6. These are the descendants of these people, and we built this A great country. And 4o years ago, we once conducted an arms race that knocked our opponents into the abyss and truly became the greatest country in the world. Now, a new round of challenges is coming. Mars, colonizing Mars, is greater than the current America. Mars is our new America. Whoever controls Mars controls the future! "

After this meeting, the president issued a presidential decree and established the "Mars Colonial Commission." Members of each cabinet either sent relatives or personally participated in this new round of arms race.

There are already many plans to land on Mars 6. The United States has designed the technically feasible Mars 6 technology as early as decades ago, but it has to be put on hold because of cost and environmental factors. This is the United States' "Orion Plan".

This plan is a perfect combination of whimsical and scientific rigor. The propulsion method it uses is nuclear energy propulsion, but instead of steadily advancing, it keeps throwing nuclear bombs behind the spacecraft!

The spacecraft used in the "Orion Project" in the design is like a gyro with a metal disk attached to the back, which is fat and thick. During the flight of the Orion spacecraft, the Orion plan to continuously drop the miniature nuclear bomb with plastic disks At the moment of the explosion, the nuclear bomb plasmatized the plastic disc, forming a huge impact force, pushing the spacecraft forward.

This scheme looks ridiculous, but it is actually very effective. Two factors restricting it, one is cost, and the other is the harm caused by the nuclear explosion.

If you want to avoid the radiation damage caused by nuclear explosions, you must first use ordinary chemical rockets to send the spacecraft to outer space, and then start this special nuclear energy engine.

The spacecraft in the Orion project is a class behemoth, and it must have a wide enough cross-section to generate sufficient thrust. Before the advent of earth bouldering machines and space elevators, it was almost impossible to launch with ordinary rockets. Taller……

But now, all obstacles have been cleared. The biggest obstacle to human flight to space, the gravity of the earth, has been wiped out by the power of science and technology by the lazy gods.

The "New Orion Project" uses 77 of the top laboratories in the United States, with hundreds of project teams. The first test is laser communication!

In plain words, this is an experiment that the president is paying close attention to, and it is a political task that cannot be lost!

In order to ensure the success of the test, the technicians of nasa set up five equipments for transmitting and receiving signals in five places in the United States. According to the weather conditions, the equipment in somewhere was selected as the base station immediately.

Today's Nevada, where the wind is sunny and the sky is cloudless, is the best weather for laser communication experiments.

The signal transmitting device of the communication base station is a powerful laser transmitter that can modulate the signal to the laser, and the receiving end is a huge astronomical telescope to reduce the signal error rate.

The other end of the test is a satellite orbiting the moon. Information will be transmitted from Earth to the moon, and then back from the moon, a total distance of 80 thousand kilometers. Even light, it is close to three seconds. To complete.

This is the basic reality of communication between universes. The distance and time of communication are far beyond the scale that humans usually come into contact with.

Just as before the time when the telegraph appeared, the era when communications basically depended on roar and traffic basically depended on it.

But on 6 Mars, communication first, without communication capabilities, there is no way to know the spacecraft's situation in the universe in time, nor to help them cope with sudden conditions.

In the vast and endless universe, there are violent electromagnetic waves everywhere. The traditional way of communication using radio waves can basically transmit information.

However, with the current laser communication technology, the transmission of distances of tens of millions of kilometers, or even hundreds of millions of kilometers, is subject to countless interferences, which is almost the same as relying on cymbals.

Therefore, if this test is successful, the United States intends to use a multi-satellite chain relay mode to shoot a series of relay satellites between Earth and Mars to ensure the reliability of communication.

It is even possible to directly let Mars spacecraft automatically release several relay satellites during the flight. The codenames are all they want, and they are called "breadcrumbs".

Longer distances mean better pointing and pointing technology, more powerful laser beams, better communication protocols, and more bandwidth for transmitting redundant information for error correction.

The laser beam emitted from the ground to space is also affected by atmospheric density, atmospheric turbulence, ground dust, clouds, and suspended particles in the air. This effect is sometimes fatal and involves interference elimination techniques. It is countless.

Therefore, even in the United States, this laser communication technology has never really entered the practical stage.

And to eliminate these obstacles, every technological progress can be called a revolution in related fields.

In any case, the United States has dominated the world for nearly a century. In this century, they have accumulated the best universities, the best talents, and the most competitive research institutions in the world. Perhaps in terms of quality, the lazy gods occupy an extreme advantage, but in terms of quantity, the United States is the one who truly has the greatest advantage!

The lazy gods have only risen for a year, and now, the best talents in the world are still in the United States!

The United States is bound to have this experiment!

Round-by-round testing is ongoing, first shooting a picture, and then increasing to a set of short videos. In the process, the communication protocol is continuously adjusted to achieve a balance between bit error rate and channel utilization ...

In this test, the channel's bearing limit is 1ooo and the reliability and redundancy of the information are positively correlated, that is to say, ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ The more verification information is added to the transmitted information, the more it can be guaranteed The reliability of the information, but it will also affect the channel utilization.

The test results are gratifying, as long as you improve a little bit, you can enter the practical stage!

With the supply of money and talent open, solving these technical problems is just around the corner!

Hearing the news, cabinet members and military generals all smiled.

While being happy, an official from the US National Security Agency said: "Lazy gods are also testing their own laser communications. I wonder what happened to them?"

Nasa's experts at NASA almost turned their eyes to the back of their heads when they heard these words.

Everyone is just one letter behind. They are born from the same root.

Why do you not open which pot?

Just ask the question, can you not ask such a sensitive question!

"Uh, our experts are following the assessment and should now be writing an assessment report ..."

"What about the report?" The Minister of Defense sitting on the face asked coldly.

"Uh, I'm going to remind ..." Nasa officials immediately called to the base in Nevada. After receiving the call, they heard a reminder from the other side and yelled, "Sorry, our report has not yet Completed, there is really no way to conclude the current technology of the Lazy Gods, their technology is really incredible! Incredible! "

"In order to evaluate their technology, we assembled a set of pilot drone control systems ..." He looked back, looking not far behind.

A technician in his forties is wearing heavy operating clothes, wearing a huge VR headset, dragging a wire around the room, exclaiming in his mouth.
