Chapter 1312: Chapter 628: Spatial Light Energy Transmission Technology!_2

Zhao Yi started to look at the reports one by one and indeed found some eye-catching ideas within.

"Energy-Charging Satellite?"

"If we could manufacture a satellite specifically for charging, it could somewhat compensate for the issue of insufficient power. However, a high-powered operation needs to be continuous, and the energy-charging satellite must be combined with the Z-wave satellite, leading to the same problem: solar energy in a fixed area and section is limited."

"Here’s another one, place the Z-wave Generation Satellite thousands of kilometers away, or even farther into space."

"This could indeed significantly reduce the power of Z-wave needed for space shuttle operations, but it would pose a challenge for the thrusters."

"Small space shuttles do require thrusters to be transported, and the further away they are, the less flexible they become to control."

"But it’s still a feasible approach. In the absence of choice, it can be reluctantly tried."

Zhao Yi quickly turned to Sun Jianxin’s report and knew from the first sentence that it was written without serious consideration, "Increase solar energy? He really came up with that idea."

"Creating energy-gathering satellites around the sun? Isn’t that too sci-fi? Current technology can’t achieve it yet, and how would the energy be transmitted?"

"Are we supposed to pull a wire directly from the sun to Earth?"

Zhao Yi was about to skip the report while shaking his head when suddenly his finger stopped, and he frowned slightly, "If there’s no direct connection, could energy be transferred through space?"

"Other forms of energy probably couldn’t, but solar energy—?"

"Maybe it’s possible now!"

Zhao Yi slammed his hand on the desk, stood up, and shouted out, "Get Yuan Haitao over here!"

Yuan Haitao had always been following Zhao Yi. He was part of the spaceship design team and had also joined Yixing Technology for experimental work.

Soon enough.

Yuan Haitao entered the office, "Academician Zhao, you called for me?"

"Yes!"

Zhao Yi nodded and instructed, "Captain Yuan, find two readily usable Spatial Connection devices. Place one in the dark room, and the other under the sunlight. We’ll prepare for the experiment at noon."

"Also, get a solar charging panel set up with a light bulb."

"Furthermore—"

He continued to instruct on the materials needed for the experiment.

Yuan Haitao took notes diligently in his notebook. He didn’t have any particularly strong technical abilities, but his strength lay in being conscientious, and he had some organizational and leadership experience. The work he was assigned was always completed well.

After Zhao Yi finished instructing, Yuan Haitao immediately went to prepare. freewebnovёl.ƈom

At noon.

Zhao Yi, accompanied by a few technicians, talked about the upcoming experiment, "I want to verify whether Space Link Technology can transmit light energy. It’s theoretically plausible, but it still needs to be tested."

"Normally, a spatial connection would transfer photons from one device to the port of another device, resulting in a mapping effect."

"This mapping effect is a manifestation of photon transfer, and photons carry energy."

"If light energy can be transferred, then the solar charging panel should respond and the connected light bulb should light up."

He briefly explained the experiment, immediately piquing the curiosity of the others.

The experiment began.

The Space Connection device in the dark room started operating, projecting large patches of outside light and brightening the room.

This small measure of light wasn’t much use for charging purposes, but the experiment’s requirements weren’t stringent—it only needed the solar panel to respond and the connected light bulb to light up.

After about twenty seconds, the light bulb flickered a few times and then the filament slowly lit up.

It was evident that the power was insufficient, the bulb’s brightness somewhat dim, but the mere fact that it lit up meant the experiment was successful.

"Hoorah~"

"It’s a success, the bulb really lit up! This means Space Connection Technology can indeed transmit light energy!"

"I never thought such a thing could be accomplished."

"Well, thinking about it, it actually makes sense. I feel it’s not that this event is so astonishing, but rather that we didn’t think of it before!"

"Yes!"

"Academician Zhao, that’s incredible, to have thought of this!"

Zhao Yi was also very happy, but he wouldn’t take credit for others’ achievements, immediately waving his hand and saying, "It was Team Three, a technician surnamed Sun. I read the report he submitted, and only then did I come up with this idea."

"I’ve decided, whether or not this technology can solve the power issue of the Z-wave satellites, to give him a bonus of two hundred thousand!"

He genuinely felt that this discovery was very significant.

Additionally, it was also an encouragement to the employees. In scientific research, creativity is very important. Often, a long period of effort pales in comparison to one good idea, which is why scientific research needs creative young people even more.

Now, awarding the prize in the company’s name is also meant to encourage everyone to think more expansively, instead of purely studying fixed technologies.

The Spatial Connection "black room" experiment also ignited Zhao Yi’s desire for research. He immediately called Space Information Technology Company, requesting they send a research and development team over.

He needed to experiment to calculate the efficiency of light energy transmission.

Very soon.

The Space Information Technology Company dispatched a research and development team, which was the company’s core team, led by an Academician from the optics laboratory, and they brought with them a wealth of detection equipment.

For the following week, Zhao Yi stayed in the temporary optics research lab built in the office building, working together with the Space Information Technology Company’s R&D team on related research. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

They obtained vague data—

The ratio of light energy transmitted through the established spatial links was roughly between five and thirty percent.

This data had a very large margin of error primarily because different space link devices had huge deviations in light energy transmission efficiency.

Therefore, the conclusion was that Space Link Technology with respect to massless particle transmission was lacking in theory.

The lack of theory was reflected in the problems encountered in the technical research.

There was a small space link device that had an extremely high efficiency in light energy transmission, but the reason was entirely unknown.

In the end, the R&D team returned back.

They had a discovery with great research potential, yet they simply could not explain the reasons behind it.

That was the regrettable part.

Zhao Yi, however, did not feel the slightest bit of regret. On the contrary, he was even more interested in the related research.

Regarding Space Link Technology, he hadn’t done much in-depth research. He simply extrapolated some relevant theories based on mapping discoveries at the time.

He had always considered Space Link Technology as just a means of transmitting information.

Because space links could only transmit massless particles, he never considered the possibility of energy transfer.

The current discovery was very meaningful.

Even if the transmission efficiency of light energy could only reach thirty percent, it was still a figure with practical significance.

Because the closer to the Sun, the more photons there are per unit area, and the more abundant the solar energy becomes.

If the light energy from within ten thousand kilometers of the Sun could be transferred to Earth for use in charging solar panels, even with only a thirty percent conversion rate, it would be enough to maintain an extremely high power output.

"In this way, we only need to launch an energy-gathering satellite into a synchronized orbit around the Sun with Earth, and establish a spatial link with the Z-wave satellite in synchronous orbit with Earth."

"Then we could achieve a continuous transfer of light energy, supporting the high power needed for conversion to electrical energy, sustaining the high-powered operation of the Z-wave generators."

"This idea is definitely feasible!"

Although detailed calculations had not yet been done, Zhao Yi thought carefully and knew it was feasible, quickly confirming the answer with "Law of Cause and Effect."

What was missing now was to research the relationship between spatial connection and light energy transmission and to establish a complete theory of light energy transmission.

"If this technology could be realized, the future would have an endless supply of light energy to ensure the operation of the Z-wave channels,"

"Even more, it could provide an endless supply of clean energy to the ground."

"This might even be more important than nuclear fusion technology, if only for the moment—"

"The cost is very high!"
