Jiang Chen always asked tricky and inexplicable questions, which made Luo Yong, as a technician, feel helpless.
What if it hits Earth?
In his opinion, this was not a problem at all.
"Nothing, the appetite of the atmosphere is much bigger than we think," Luo Yong shrugged and replied. "The wavelength of the laser is quite short. The particles in the air will block it, scatter it around, and eventually be absorbed by the ozone layer. Unlike the beam fired by the laser pistol, you can think of the transmission laser as a beam with a shorter wavelength than ultraviolet. This kind of beam is more easily absorbed by the atmosphere, so the environmental impact on Earth is quite weak. "
Luo Yong paused and said in a half-joking tone, "Let's take a step back.
Space elevators are usually built on the sea. Even if there is a small angle deviation in the light path of the transmission laser, there is a high probability that it will only poke into the sea. It is almost impossible to hit land. "
Under the control of the quantum computer, it was almost impossible for the laser beam used for power transmission to deviate from this hexagonal platform of thousands of square meters. Based on the data provided by Luo Yong, from 2050 to 2150, there were only four failures in the Earth-Moon transmission light path.
Four failures in one hundred years, this probability was quite low. And the economic loss caused by each failure was only the power lost in the atmosphere and the nuclear fusion cores consumed by ground facilities during large-scale power outages.
After the technician explained the concept, Jiang Chen observed the long-distance power transmission equipment for a few laps and finally left the warehouse with satisfaction.
In fact, before he came, he thought that long-distance power transmission in the 22nd century was the kind of transmission equipment similar to Tesla's Wardenclyffe Tower plan. That was, to build a tower similar to the radio tower, but the radio it emitted was not used to transmit information, but to transmit energy.
As long as it was on Earth, there was no need for wires. Just a "radio-like" thing would be needed to connect to the power grid no matter how far away it was.
However, when he proposed this concept, he found that the technician was suppressing his laughter and explained to him that it was impossible. Moreover, in the timeline of the apocalypse, there was also a person named Tesla, but it was not the Moden Consortium that provided the funding for the Wardenclyffe Tower.
"Limited by the technological level of the current era, Tesla calculated his wireless transmission system based on coil coupling. In his algorithm, the ground, water, air, and ionosphere do not absorb electromagnetic waves, so the transmission efficiency will of course be much higher than wires with resistance. But in fact, it's impossible. "
"To be honest, Tesla was an unreliable genius. Of course, I'm not denying his contributions to alternating current and radio, his Nobel Prize, and his many other contributions. It was just that many of the concepts he proposed were too … well, sci-fi. Even his superweapon 'Death Ray' was proven to be just a charged particle beam in the end. It was not lost because the heavens were jealous of geniuses. However, this was also one of the reasons why he was respected by the people. After all, compared to an old pedant, the common people generally preferred someone who could boast. It's like conspiracy theories are always more marketable than news. "
But in other words, if his invention was really that amazing, the Modern Financial Group wouldn't give up on investing in him.
…
After leaving the warehouse, Jiang Chen didn't immediately return to the mansion. Instead, he walked around the Sixth Street with the help of the guards.
It was already close to the end of October, and the air was already dry and cold.
The wasteland's winters were much longer and colder than the modern world's.
Even in the south, in another month, it would snow in Wanghai.
Since the city center was taken, the mutant nests and zombie queens were cleared, Wanghai was no longer threatened by mutants and zombies. Although the walls surrounding the Sixth Street's Inner Circle and Outer Circle still remained, compared to its original meaning, the walls now only existed as a spiritual symbol.
The survivors had built their houses outside the walls, and the half-collapsed buildings were also used. After a little renovation, they became the homes of survivors' families or groups.
Almost all the survivors in Suhang Province migrated to the Sixth Street or the Jia survivor settlement under the management of the NAC. Excluding colonies such as Hongcheng and Yizhou, the total population of the NAC exceeded 300,000. The streets of the Sixth Street were much more crowded than a year ago.
On the road to the market, it was common to see vehicles transporting food. Merchants from afar would choose to make one last trip before winter and bring the cabbages produced in the Garden of Eden to the Fuzhou area further south. Then, they would take the crystals and spend the winter comfortably in the local survivor settlement. After spring, they would bring the local specialties back to the Sixth Street.
Because of the existence of the NAC, Wanghai had become a trade hub connecting the north and the south.
But for some reason, according to Chu Nan, there were fewer merchants from the north than in previous years. The military government sent the Hunter Corps to explore the Shangjing area, but the scouts hadn't returned yet.
But there were only a few possible reasons.
If it wasn't the weather, it would be a troublesome mutant, or a rising gang blocked the trade route.
From the industrial zone to the market, Jiang Chen found that every time he came back, the place would change. In his memory, the robot noodle shop on the corner of the street was gone, and it was replaced by a flashing neon bar. The small vendors had also disappeared and were replaced by shops that were as respectable as the ones in the Inner Circle.
The abundance of materials led to economic prosperity.
According to Lin Lin, the second Garden of Eden was under construction. With the successful experience of the previous Garden of Eden, the construction speed of this new Garden of Eden was much faster than the previous one. After the completion of the second Garden of Eden, NAC would be self-sufficient in food without considering exports.
At that time, Jiang Chen would almost be able to get rid of the title of "food porter".
No matter what, he was now the president of a world-class company and a warlord. Every month, he had to go to the secret warehouse to transport hundreds of tons of food, which was really inconsistent with his identity.
It was enough to add some vegetables from the bottom of the sea to the refrigerator of his mansion every week to show his "family-oriented" demeanor.
Whether it was in taste or texture, the vegetables produced by Xin Hai Agriculture were very popular with the girls.
Every time at the dinner table, Jiang Chen felt sincerely happy when he saw Sun Jiao and Lin Lin devouring, and Xiaorou and Yao Yao taking small bites.
After the crisis in Wanghai was resolved, it was one of the main motivations for him to take a few days out of the week to return to the apocalypse …
