Chapter 50 Wild Wolf VS Tesla

After Dr. Roman left, Yu Yifeng immediately sent the report on the table to the two research institutes, "Wild Wolf" and "Tesla".

What do scientists do? It's at this time that they come in handy! Otherwise, what's the point of the research institute? It's impossible for Yu Yifeng to figure it out by himself.

After receiving the news, Ding Yidong and Felix, the two general managers, immediately realized the seriousness of the problem and held discussion meetings.

This time, the topic can be said to be the first confrontation between the Wild Wolf Design Bureau and the Tesla Research Institute. Although the great scientists cannot deny the saying of PK, they believe that scientific research is very accidental, so how can it be used for PK?

But some young scientists are young and energetic, and they still have a great desire to win, and of course they have some ideas in their hearts.

Of course, the people are also very excited. In this era of poor entertainment, it's good to make random guesses, and it can be regarded as a kind of gossip news.

"Tesla and Wild Wolf, which one do you support?"

"I'll go to whichever one is better!"

"Come on, you go? Will they look down on you?"

"I'm a graduate of a prestigious university after all..." The man realized the problem halfway through his speech. Graduated from a prestigious university? There are just as many rubbish as on Noah.

This may be a daily conversation among people. Some people have petitioned the government to open universities and libraries to facilitate their study.

This is certainly a good thing. Yu Yifeng has already started to deal with these problems. Public facilities such as schools and libraries must be built, it's just a matter of time.

As for the problem of "temperature rise inside the spacecraft", whether it can be solved or not, no one cares. Can the new human civilization be stumped by such a small problem?

First of all, let's talk about the Tesla Institute. When the meeting order was issued, it took only ten minutes for everyone to gather. In fact, there are not many people, only 20 or 30, but they are all elites among elites and geniuses among geniuses.

The institute has just been established, and people are still very disciplined and motivated. Most of them are young guys, and a small number of them are great scientists like Felix, who have both qualifications and level.

Felix nodded. He was very satisfied with the overall level of the institute. The only shortcoming was that the laboratory equipment was not complete.

"Good morning, everyone. I just received an urgent research task."

"Everyone, take a look at this report. It points out that with the development of industry, a lot of heat is generated inside the spacecraft. This heat energy accumulates in the spacecraft, causing the internal temperature to rise.

You all understand, the temperature has risen a little these days, and this is the problem. Now, the government requires us to find a way to dissipate the extra heat into space."

Felix talked freely. He played the report to the scientists present in the form of PPT, which was convenient and direct.

Some people frowned slightly. Heat dissipation is not a particularly big problem... The difficulty is large-scale heat dissipation in a vacuum.

Thermal energy is a kind of energy that is not easy to use compared to mechanical energy, chemical energy, electrical energy, etc., because according to the principle of minimum energy, it is usually an energy with a relatively large entropy and is not easy to convert.

Heating an area is very simple, as long as there is energy, but cooling an area is relatively complicated. The heat in the air is too difficult to use. It cannot be converted into other energy. It can only be transferred (unless the heat is very high).

What? Air conditioning? It is impossible to use air conditioning to dissipate heat in a spacecraft. Air conditioning only extracts the heat in the room and dissipates it outside, but does not reduce the heat. What is the point of extracting the heat in the room to the corridor? Because the air conditioner does work, the heat increases instead.

If you really want to use air conditioning to cool down, you have to discharge the hot air into the universe. In this way, people will lose precious air. If someone really proposes this plan, they will definitely be scolded to death by Yu Yifeng. Air is a precious material. People don’t have enough for themselves, and they still want to discharge it?

The scientists present all understood the problem. They began to discuss and discuss, and brought out a lot of theories and data.

These scientists are rigorous, and there are no people who seek fame. They began to design various plans. Although they are generally young, most of them are geniuses, and they have done quite a few projects.

Experiments and theories have proved that in the large environment, the radiation heat exchange of a single object is proportional to the fourth power of its surface thermodynamic temperature. Simply put, the higher the surface temperature of an object, the stronger the heat exchange, that is, the hotter the object, the faster it cools.

Another point is that the smoother and whiter the surface of a material, the better the reflective ability, and the weaker the radiation ability of this material; on the contrary, the rougher and darker the surface of a material, the stronger the ability of this material to radiate outward and absorb external radiation.

One of the scientists said: "The universe can be regarded as an absolute black body, that is, the radiation emitted by a spacecraft to the universe will never be reflected back. Because the temperature inside the spacecraft is much higher than the outside, by connecting the heat pipes inside and outside the spacecraft, the heat on the high-temperature side is transferred to the low-temperature side for outward radiation, and thermal equilibrium can be achieved. This is the current solution for our spacecraft.

I think the best way is to increase the external radiation capacity."

At this time, someone else stood up: "I thought of a new graphene material with dark color, rough surface, and strong thermal radiation ability."

"I think the heat dissipation pipes inside the spacecraft can also be updated, and the number of external radiation rods can also be increased..."

"A liquid nitrogen cooling rod was once used in the XZ region, which is worth learning from..."

These scientists discussed it all together, trying to come up with a quick and convenient solution. Felix nodded secretly, the quality of this group of young people is still very high.

Although they didn't say it, they didn't want to be outdone by the Wild Wolf Design Bureau in their hearts...

This is the situation of the Tesla Institute, let's talk about the "Wild Wolf Design Bureau" that people are very concerned about.

Unlike the serious discussion of the Tesla Institute, the Wild Wolf Design Bureau was completely in a mess.

One by one, the researchers discussed loudly, their faces were red, and they were not convinced by each other. The whole institute was filled with a kind of blood and passion, and even a little fanaticism.

If Tesla took the path of exquisiteness and meticulousness, then the Wild Wolf Design Bureau took the path of roughness and heroism. In the eyes of the Wild Wolf, as long as it is simple and easy to use, it doesn't matter what it looks like.

This is also the original intention of Professor Ding Yidong to name it "Wild Wolf".

The passion of these Russians, Ukrainians, and Chinese has been completely aroused. They are all young people, full of ambition and advocacy of steel and warships. They joined the Wild Wolf Design Bureau and are eager to do big projects and construction.

Looking at the drawings in his hand, Professor Ding Yidong's face sank. He didn't know what to say. To be fair, the content inside is logical, feasible, and even very high-level, but... it's all too exaggerated.

What thermal differential refrigeration plan, large radiation sail plan, really, any plan requires thousands of tons of material reserves... Some people even proposed to revamp the entire spacecraft. It's really enough.

"Everyone! Be quiet!" Ding Yidong didn't scold them. These young men are ambitious and passionate, which is a good thing, but they can't be impetuous in doing things.

"First of all, please take a look at this plan." Ding Yidong clicked the mouse and broadcast a picture on the screen.

People all raised their heads. This plan was the one with the highest voice and the most positive response.

In Ding Yidong's opinion, although the theoretical effect is very good and the technical content is relatively high. But the disadvantage is: the engineering workload is very huge and time-consuming.

In the eyes of the wild wolves, such a large plan has a strong metallic beauty, but...

"I think this plan is not bad." Ding Yidong paused, "But I want to tell you that this plan will consume more than 80% of the resource indicators and industrial indicators of our institute!

If everyone agrees, then follow this plan! However, we probably won't be able to do anything else in the second half of the year."

As soon as this was said, it caught everyone's pain point. People reacted that their resources and energy cannot be wasted on this cooling system, otherwise they will all be used up. What should we do in the second half of the year?

At this time, many people began to oppose this plan again.

Even the designer of the plan regretted that the stall was too big and too exaggerated.

Many people woke up and realized that the plan is not just about exaggeration, but also energy-saving and effective.

So, what plan is both energy-saving and effective?

When most people were thinking about problems such as thermal radiation, suddenly, a young man shouted.

"Why don't we use ice?!"

"Don't we have 100 million tons of ice?"
