Z-wave detection technology, striving to achieve a major breakthrough, is a very difficult task.
Zhao Yi had researched Z-wave detection technology; the detection technology used on spaceships was developed by him. The application’s compression ratio detection method is based on molecules that are difficult to compress. By placing them within the Z-wave range to detect the compression ratio, the overall ratio can be determined.
However, the method of detecting compression ratios has severe limitations; up to now, it can only detect distances within 100 astronomical units.
A hundred astronomical units might sound vast, a hundred times the distance from Earth to the Sun, but in reality, compared to interstellar travel, a hundred astronomical units is still far too short.
The high-powered Z-wave of a spaceship, when operating at maximum power, can allow the vessel to traverse tens of thousands of astronomical units.
In other words, using current Z-wave detection technology would slow down the spaceship by a factor of 100 because the Z-wave generator needs to be recharged after each use, which takes a relatively long time. What could be reached in a matter of seconds ends up taking a month or even several months.
This greatly drags down the performance of spaceships, making star-level traversing highly inconvenient.
In fact, there is another design for Z-wave detection proposed by the Information Communication Research Institute of the Science Academy. It is based on the detection of magnetic fields to determine the compression ratio.
Since magnetic fields absorb Z-wave energy, which correlates with the compression ratio, it is possible to determine the Z-wave compression by detecting the magnetic fields.
Theoretically, this approach could measure distances beyond two hundred astronomical units. After the proposal was put forward, it was researched for a period, but ultimately abandoned due to a major issue with magnetic field detection: the instantaneous high magnetic fields pose a serious safety risk to spaceships.
The outer protection of spaceships cannot completely block high magnetic fields; the internal circuit systems can interact with them, and the human body would also be affected and could be harmed.
Furthermore, another significant issue is that magnetic fields absorb Z-wave energy, which in turn reduces the energy available and greatly diminishes the maximum distance covered.
This severely limits the potential of magnetic field detection technology.
If a spaceship were fitted with detection technology using magnetic field detection, it simply could not achieve traversals over thousands of astronomical units.
Though magnetic field detection has various foundational issues, the fact that it can provide a feasible proposal in the latest technological field is enough to prove the level of the researchers.
When Zhao Yi decided to lead the theoretical and experimental teams to tackle the issues of Z-wave detection technology, the higher-ups immediately assigned a team from the Information Communication Research Institute of the Science Academy, hoping they could complement the theoretical team and work together.
The Information Communication Research Institute’s team was led by the renowned communication expert, Academician Huang Hongguo.
In the field of electronic communication, Huang Hongguo is a well-known figure, as the communication radars researched by his team have been equipped on certain models of fighter jets. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
Additionally, Huang Hongguo is also a theoretical physicist. While he has not delved deeply into the latest scientific theories, he has not only achieved ’Magnetic Field Detection Technology’ but has also integrated electronic communications with Space Link Technology to complete several highly significant designs.
The space communication devices currently used on spaceships, which allow for voice communication, contain the achievements of Huang Hongguo’s team.
Boasting so many achievements in cutting-edge technology applications and electronic communication, and believing himself to have a deep understanding of the latest scientific theories, Huang Hongguo was a highly confident individual.
Of course.
When compared to Zhao Yi, however, he could not feel quite as confident. His multitude of achievements seemed insignificant in front of Zhao Yi.
Nonetheless, Huang Hongguo was hopeful that his team’s arrival would be of considerable help. He even hoped to make a substantial contribution, or possibly, with the support of the theoretical group, his team could complete research on Z-wave detection technology over ultra-long distances.
Before arriving at the research base, Huang Hongguo had this in mind, and he encouraged everyone, telling them to work hard and demonstrate the capability of the Information Communication Research Institute.
Zhao Yi welcomed the arrival of Huang Hongguo’s team; after all, they did possess certain capabilities, at least technically speaking.
Once the core of the detection technology is determined and it’s time to manufacture the equipment, Huang Hongguo’s team would be able to play a direct role. They would certainly understand the equipment better than a bunch of theorists; after all, theory and technology are two different aspects and do not always coincide. The translation of theory into technology is indeed a profound science.
After welcoming Huang Hongguo’s team, the research work officially began.
Zhao Yi called a meeting to discuss from which step to start the research and development. Meetings like this were mostly decided directly by Zhao Yi, unless he was unable to make the decision and let others speak.
Others had long gotten used to this mode of operation. Even Edward Witten and Qiu Chengwen wouldn’t say much, for they had been dismissed so many times that they had no desire to speak, especially in such uninspired research.
Huang Hongguo was different, however.
