Genius of the Rules-Style System

Chapter 1327: Chapter 635: "Made of Gold" is an Understatement

In the plethora of public opinions concerning the launch of satellites around the Sun, the most attention is given to the distance between the satellite and the solar surface.

One hundred thousand kilometers, that’s simply too close.

If it were relative to the Earth’s radius of over six thousand kilometers, a distance of one hundred thousand kilometers would still be very distant; even relative to the distance between the Earth and the Moon, it constitutes one third.

However, the Sun is indeed too immense.

The radius of the Sun alone reaches more than six hundred and ninety-five thousand kilometers, with a diameter surpassing one million three hundred and ninety thousand kilometers. In the face of such million-kilometer magnitudes, one hundred thousand kilometers is just too close; one might even say it is nearly being ’absorbed’.

When distance is merely a datum, the primary concern is that being too close to the Sun incurs a tremendous influence.

Even from the distant Earth, one can feel the Sun’s powerful impact, let alone from its surface.

At a location one hundred thousand kilometers away, in the event of certain solar activities, based on relevant research data, temperatures could potentially exceed one thousand degrees Celsius.

This temperature is sufficient to melt most metals.

So, how does a satellite orbiting so close to the sun operate? Surely it doesn’t just melt upon reaching its intended orbit?

Of course, melting is merely speculative; the Aerospace Bureau wouldn’t have announced the impending launch of a satellite so close to the Sun without having the necessary technology in hand.

So, what technology is that?

This is a question many in the public sphere are concerned with.

When some experts stepped forward, public opinion immediately turned to one technology—

Materials!

Only by withstanding high temperatures, intense radiation, and strong electromagnetic storms can one ensure the operation of electronic equipment at locations close to the solar surface. freewēbnoveℓ.com

Public opinion quickly turned to the related material technology, with many attributing the advancement to Zhao Yi, believing he had developed a super material that marked a step into a new domain.

Indeed, it wasn’t wrong to say so; Z-wave Compression technology was indeed researched and developed by Zhao Yi.

But as public sentiment fermented, the technology was linked with Yixing Technology, implying that it was Zhao Yi who assisted Yixing Technology in developing the required material technology.

At this point, the High Compression Material Company stepped forward, clearly stating that the satellite materials were manufactured by them and gave a simple explanation, "Based on the research of Academician Zhao, we have mastered the technology to highly compress any material."

"Through this high-intensity compression technology, we can achieve a substantial improvement in the physical properties of the materials."

This announcement explained the core technology of the Sun-orbiting satellite and also affirmed that the technology was indeed developed by Zhao Yi.

The public was not surprised.

It seemed that any technology perceived as inconceivable was easily linked directly to the name Zhao Yi.

Had it been anyone else, it would have been truly astonishing.

The public could then understand why Yixing Technology was able to collaborate with the Aerospace Bureau, the Aviation Group, and High Compression Material Company; after all, the technology was developed by Zhao Yi, and being a direct affiliate of the Aviation Group, Yixing Technology was naturally qualified to partner with these entities. freёweɓnovel.com

Meanwhile, international institutions were even more focused on the matter of materials.

Many organizations and companies that possessed cutting-edge material technology thought of the ongoing spacecraft project negotiations.

These entities, with their highest-level techniques, considered themselves eligible to be core partners directly involved in the spacecraft project. Some even offered their advanced material technologies in exchange for participating in the research and manufacturing of core components.

They were unceremoniously rejected, and quite bluntly so.

Although the spacecraft project had officially commenced, and some ancillary parts had entered the manufacturing phase, the process could not be completed in a short time due to the extensive technical and material aspects involved. Negotiations with other enterprises and institutions were ongoing.

These top-tier material technology institutions and companies were the most challenging to reach a consensus with.

Previously, these entities didn’t understand why the domestic negotiation teams were so resoundingly dismissive regarding cooperation.

Now they realized that it was because domestic institutions possessed more advanced material manufacturing technology, and their high-end materials could only add lustre to the construction of the spacecraft.

"This must be a new technology, an entirely novel manufacturing method!"

"High Compression Material Company has just been established, and they probably revolve around this core technology."

"So that’s how it is!"

"They must have mastered an extremely appealing method of compressing high-end materials, allowing for a qualitative transformation in the physical properties of materials, and even enabling devices to withstand temperatures exceeding a thousand degrees as well as intense radiation storms."

"So, what technology is that? How is it achieved specifically?"

Suddenly, these institutions and companies embarked on research, with their sole insight being that material manufacturing must surely involve ’compression’.

But how to compress?

Many related institutions began to design a variety of compression experiments.

The University of Pennsylvania Materials Laboratory’s design was quite innovative; they developed a high magnetic field centrifugal device to compress malleable aluminum.

The underlying principle of the design involves creating a high magnetic field externally to influence the internal electron movement of the aluminum metal, while concurrently applying physiologically directed centrifugal force to physically compress the aluminum, hoping to achieve strong compression of the metal from both internal and external aspects.
