Technological Hegemony

When Wen Chengling talked about fullerene, Luo Jia immediately came up with the word scammer. Because fullerene's antioxidant capacity is 125 times that of vitamin C, it is often used in the field of cosmetics. It collects IQ taxes from female compatriots and manufactures products that claim to whiten quickly.

However, Luo Jia never expected that the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory had made a breakthrough in Fullerene. If the content of the anonymous letter was true, it would have to attract Luo Jia's attention. After all, East and West are trying to improve human lifespan, and even more. Further grasp the secrets of life.

"How much do you think this letter may be true, and why do the people who write it remind us?" Luo Jia asked the brothers Wen.

Wen Chengling frowned, "I can't figure out why anyone would remind us that the people who can understand the progress of the research and development of the Cold Spring Port laboratory must be their internal staff. In theory, the people in Cold Spring Port should hate us. After all, In the field of immune activation, Cold Spring Harbor has lost to us. It can be said that it has been a miserable defeat. "

"Is it because of hidden dangers?" Enron said, touching his chin. "Like the last time, the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory's immune activation technology caused major casualties. There are good scientists, in order to avoid the tragedy repeat, so remind us to prepare early . "

Luo Jia shook her head. "It's unlikely. That's the top team led by James Watson and Reinhardt. The last time they had a problem was due to anxiety. If they were cautious, they might not lose. I don't believe that Big bulls like Sen and Reinhardt will fall twice in the same place, which is too insulting to others' IQ. "

Everyone nodded one after another. The top global scientists at the Daniel level have fallen twice because of safety. The probability is too low.

"Intentionally attracting us to the game? Let us expend our energy on Fullerene to gain time for Cold Spring Port?" Shen Lang guessed.

"It's possible." Wen Chengfeng nodded slightly, "Fullerene is a three-dimensional cage-like structure composed of carbon molecules, and the number of carbon molecules is not fixed. It can be twenty, three hundred, five. One hundred, because fullerenes produced in nature usually have sixty carbon molecules, so they are also called C60. "

"Simply put, even if we know that Cold Spring Harbor is studying fullerenes, we ca n’t know what kind of fullerene structure they are studying, whether there are substances that are compatible with it, etc. If we open another richerene, With the Lexene Research Line, it will undoubtedly increase the burden. "

Luo Jia nodded lightly. After listening to everyone's opinions, he made the final decision.

"With the constant response to change, the Department of Life Sciences maintains the original plan, not seeking the fastest, but seeking the most stability. Yesterday at Cold Spring Harbor is our lesson learned. Once they were the most famous life science laboratory on the planet. Today But it became infamous, for no reason, the pace was too fast, only to get eggs. "Luo Jia said.

Wen Chengling nodded and agreed: "I see. Regardless of anonymous letters, we continue to adhere to our own rhythm. The character is swaying, and I stand still."

Luo Jia nodded. "Very well, let's meet up."

"By the way, Enron, let the secretary arrange the time. Director Guo Shouyu of the National Astronomical Observatory will come in the afternoon. It seems very urgent. We better meet him together."

Enron showed a strange expression, "National Observatory? What's wrong with them? The whole world is in danger because of a comet that hits the earth, so come to us for help?"

Uh ~

Everyone laughed. In addition to Luo Jia, the second most powerful company in the company was Enron, but this man still kept a bit of innocence in his heart. When Luo Jia said that the observatory had arrived, he immediately thought of the end of the earth and his thinking was also That's strange enough.

Luo Jia smiled, "If it is really serious, it will not be the director of the observatory, at least it must be the minister or something."

"Don't think too much. Director Guo came to us to complain. The National Astronomical Observatory, the Purple Mountain Observatory, the Shanghai Metropolitan Observatory, and the three major domestic observatories have recently encountered trouble and urgently need our help."

...

"Son of a bitch!"

"Musk is a bastard!"

Director Guo of the National Astronomical Observatory really came to Xingchen Technology to complain. Just in the afternoon, he met and talked in the office. The adult with a black framed glasses and a strong scholar atmosphere began to swear.

"Only half a year later, Musk's **** StarChain project shot more than 4,000 satellites, and his mother was occupying low-Earth orbit!"

"How does this make us observe !?"

"Further on, our entire astronomical observation system will be destroyed by Musk!"

"There is money inside and out!"

"The Majesty of the National Astronomical Observatory can have more than one observation station, but dozens of large and small. From Beijing to West Xinjiang, how much money has the country invested in these projects, and how much youth have my colleagues dedicated?"

"Yangbajing, Kashi, Ali, Xilinguole, for better observation conditions, many observation stations are located in remote and barren places. Many of our researchers stay in these places for a lifetime, it is too hard!"

"Now good, Musk's star chain plan is getting more and more crazy, I can't wait to get up to a thousand satellites a week. As long as we open the mirror, the satellite, the satellite, all the satellites are Musk's satellites, more than four thousand A satellite has brought great trouble to our space observation work. Our group of astronomical observers has already worked very hard. Musk has tripled our hard work! The probability of error has also tripled. Times! "

"I heard that according to Musk's plan, he will eventually place more than 100,000 communications satellites in low-Earth orbit, which is really our life!"

"At that time, not only us, but North America, observatories all over the world will lie down!"

Director Guo was very excited. He had been engaged in astronomical observation all his life, and was almost forced to the brink of collapse. When talking about his colleagues, his voice choked several times.

Luo Jia frowned. Of course he knew the importance of astronomical observation. Without astronomical observation ability, you are like a blind man without eyes. He didn't even know that a meteorite hit the earth.

Without astronomical observation capabilities, there would be no star map, but also the stars and the sea. You ca n’t even figure out where the starship is heading.

"Why other than North America? Musk's star chain occupies low-Earth orbit resources, and the North American Observatory should also be affected?" Enron asked casually.

"They have two space telescopes. Hubble and Webb. The cost of the Webb Space Telescope is more than 10 billion U.S. dollars. The astronomical observation capability is unique in the world. In addition, North America plans to launch the Sky Survey Telescope LUVOIR. Super Survey Telescope Origin, Hound, and more. "

"In short, North America has been preparing for a long time. They know that the star chain program will cause the ground observatory to lose its function, so they plan to move the telescope to space, and our space program started late. So far, we do not have our own space. Telescopes, as well as sky-level superspace telescopes like the Origin, are even more unreachable. "

Speaking of which, Luo Jia and Enran looked at each other. They did not expect that things would break down so fast. Musk is absolutely crazy. He fired rockets into space three or four times a week. Throw a bunch of satellites in low earth orbit.

On November 11, 2019, when the Chinese people welcomed the Double Eleventh and sent money to businesses to pay IQ taxes, as far away as Cape Canaveral Aviation Base in Florida, North America, there was enough to load space History of events.

When Musk launched a satellite communication satellite, he found that one of the satellites was malfunctioning. According to the reason, the malfunctioning satellite should be dismantled and replaced with a new one.

However, Musk made a move that surprised everyone, and I do n’t want a malfunctioning satellite! First launch it, then let the failed satellite fall by itself.

Only those who truly understand aerospace engineering will understand the significance behind this.

It means that the star chain plan has entered a real commercial operation stage, the cost of communication satellites is low, and the cost of the Falcon 9 rocket has reached the extent that Musk can waste it unscrupulously!

Once entering this launch rhythm, Musk, an unqualified satellite, is too lazy to dismantle it and send it directly to space to throw it away. The symbolic meaning behind it may be too great. If Huaxia does not stop it again, I am afraid that the star chain will really become a reality. The earth's low-Earth orbit will be surrounded by North American communication satellites one after another, like copper walls and iron walls, and it will be difficult for others to insert their own satellites.

This is the typical hegemony of non-renewable resources in space!

Once StarChain is successful, it will inevitably seriously impact the global telecommunications network, a billion-dollar giant industry!

After listening to Director Guo's words, Enron scratched his head. At first, I felt that things were a little tricky. The three major observatories are the lifeblood of China's space research. Due to this huge impact, the losses are heavy and cannot be measured by money.

In addition, he also has a bit of imagination, knowing that everyone knows that Musk is so crazy about star chain, it is not forced by Star Technology. If you do n’t hurry up to get Star Chain out, you will lose even more, because Star Technology is even more miserable. Crazy, they built the space elevator and the zero space station. These two super projects, in contrast, the North American super space project has only the unique seed of the star chain.

Of course, being short behind doesn't mean anything. Other plans for North America to fight against Star Technology are still under preparation. I believe it will be launched soon.

After thinking for a while, Luo Jia looked up and saw a smile on his face, and said to Enron: "It seems that the plan must be advanced."

Enron nodded: "Well, although the adjustment plan is a bit troublesome, but it is also forced by the situation. Musk, this guy is much faster than we think."

Luo Jia rubbed his hands. "Just decide this way. You don't need to discuss it with the administration. You are responsible for adjusting the plan. I will go to the Optics Department and find Mr. Lu.

Enron patted his thigh and stood up. "Okay, but the plan is a bit complicated. I need at least ten days."

"It should be okay." Luo Jia thought for a while and said, "After all, Father Lu has his own difficulties."

Guo Taichang heard a fog, and he frowned, asking, "What are you talking about?"

"We're talking about the space telescope." Luo Jia calmly said, "If you still have the impression, last year we dug Dr. Pierre and his team from the European Space Agency. "

"Now Dr. Pierre is in our subsidiary ~ www.wuxiahere.com ~ Xingchen Optical Group, working with Zhang Yuechuan and Father Lu Chengfeng to prepare our first space telescope."

Guo Taichang suddenly stunned, his pupils dilated quickly, "Chief Observation Expert of ESA, Dr. Pierre responsible for Gaia 2?"

"Yes, Director Guo knows him?"

Guo Shouyu focused his head and said with great excitement, "I know, I have participated in several academic conferences together, but I am not very familiar with them. By the way, how is your space telescope planned?"

Luo Jia listened, and habitually picked up the whiteboard and scribbled on it.

"Space Zero is like a big house, and the space telescope is like the furniture in the house. According to normal logic, the house must be built and renovated before the furniture can be installed.

"No space station has been built yet. It's too early to talk about furniture."

"But it's okay, I told Enron and let him adjust the plan, and wait for the Zero Space Station to be completed. Now install the Space Telescope!"
