Chapter 977 Light From the Moon

April 1st is a very significant day for the lunar colony.

Lu Fan looked up at the magnificent hemispherical building outside the colony, with a look of admiration on his brows.

Transmitting electricity to the earth hundreds of thousands of kilometers away was an almost impossible task in his mind two months ago. However, at this moment, he had no doubt that this project, which could be called a miracle in human history, had been completed in their hands.

The original hexagonal laser generating device was wrapped by a giant hemisphere composed of a hexagonal grid.

These hexagonal grids are made of special materials, and under different conditions, they can even produce completely opposite light transmittances.

According to the set program, only one side of the six grids transmits light, and the other six grids reflect all light. Lasers from different directions are continuously reflected throughout the entire sphere, and are finally converged in one direction. They are all released from a vent and hit a point hundreds of thousands of kilometers away.

This is how the entire device works.

Under the precise control of a quantum computer, the direction of the high-energy beam can be precisely controlled by changing the light transmittance of the hexagonal grid on the sphere. After all, this is a distance of hundreds of thousands of kilometers, and even light has to travel for a full second. Any slight error will be infinitely amplified.

The target receiving the laser is moving relative to the moon at all times, and only a quantum computer with terrifying computing power can steer the entire project.

"Are you surprised?" The unshaven He Biao walked up to Lu Fan, touched his bald head, and grinned, "When I return to Earth in a few days, I will be able to brag about everyone. The life and death of the earth was in my hands for a moment."

Lu Fan then smiled sterilely, "Didn't the colonial director say that even if this laser were to hit the earth, there wouldn't be any problems?"

"That's true," He Biao also turned his attention to the giant egg and grinned, "But who cares about bragging?"

Hearing his boss's irresponsible remarks, Lu Fan smiled and shook his head.

Suddenly, he realized a problem and couldn't help but frowned with concern.

"You said...what if other countries embarrass us on this issue?"

He Biao laughed and patted his shoulder.

"Then make it difficult for them.

This is a major national matter, and it is not something that little people like us can worry about. If the sky falls, there will still be tall people holding it up, not to mention those of us who have already ascended to the sky. It's time to change shifts in a few days. If I were you, I wouldn't think about all this. You might as well think carefully about how you will spend the money you have earned in the past six months when you return to Earth. "

Just as the two members of the Electric Power Department were making jokes, Tang Weijie solemnly issued the launch order in the colonial command room.

Inside the dome, the hexagonal base began to glow with a dark purple light visible to the naked eye.

There are no flashy beams of light or fancy special effects.

Everyone waited nervously for three seconds.

Three seconds later, a green signal light came on, and the command room was filled with cheers and whistles. Even Tang Weijie, who had always been calm, couldn't help but throw his hat into the air.

Just three seconds ago, a little more than two seconds to be precise, the spectrometer next to the dome received the return light used to verify whether the laser hit the target. This light, which ran for more than two seconds, brought them victory.

Half a minute later, Tang Weijie received a call from the ground command center.

Only one sentence was said on the other end of the phone.

…

"Congratulations to you, congratulations to you and congratulations to us, it's a great moment."

After sending these blessings to the leader of the lunar colony, Jiang Chen put down the phone, patted Kerwin on the shoulder, and walked out of the command room where the cheers were deafening.

Walking through the corridor, through the front hall, and standing on the lawn outside the ground command center, you can still hear the jubilant cheers behind you. Although he didn't see it, he could imagine people hugging each other, high-fiving each other, shouting about the celebration banquet, and crying with joy.

The tense face slowly relaxed, Jiang Chen smiled implicitly at first, and soon he looked up to the sky and laughed.

Finally succeeded.

The efforts of the past two months have not been in vain.

It won't be long before high-voltage electricity "shot" from the moon will fill the power grid across two oceans. After seeing the ultra-low cost of lunar power generation, more and more small and medium-sized countries will abandon nuclear power and thermal power, join his global power grid plan, and be forever tied to the Star Ring Trading Vehicle by the submarine transmission cables. On the chariot.

At this moment, Xia Shiyu walked up to him and poked his waist with her finger, breaking his illusion at this moment.

"Is this the end?" Xia Shiyu whispered with a hint of unreal doubt.

Jiang Chen turned around and gave Xia Shiyu a bear hug. Before her exclamation could be heard, he kissed her hard on the lips. After parting their lips, he looked at her pretty face and joked with a smile: " Otherwise, what else do you want? Hang a colorful aurora in the sky?"

Beams with shorter wavelengths than ultraviolet cannot be observed with the naked eye. Not to mention standing on the ground, even standing on the space elevator, don't expect to see the power transmission laser shot from the moon.

Xia Shiyu blushed and looked around awkwardly. After confirming that there was no one else, she relaxed her tense body, stretched out her hand and gently poked Jiang Chen's nose lovingly, "Look at you, excitedly like a child."

Aisha came over and looked at Xia Shiyu who was hugged by Jiang Chen with some envy. She stretched out her hand and gently tugged on Jiang Chen's clothes.

"What's wrong? Sasha." Jiang Chen turned his head and looked at her with a smile.

Aisha didn't speak, but her watery sapphire-like beautiful eyes seemed to be able to speak, reflecting the envy in her heart——

"I also want."

Just when Jiang Chen was enjoying the blessing of having everyone together, the ground command center was already filled with joy over the successful power on.

After the excitement, Kerwin looked at the three-dimensional image on the holographic screen, with a hint of fascination in his gaze.

The three satellites floating in synchronous orbit form an isosceles triangle, like a work of art that combines the beauty of mathematics and physics.

These three satellites with unique shapes are like "prisms" with three sides that remain relatively stationary forever. Through primary or secondary reflection, the received power transmission laser is directed towards the receiving ring embedded on the outside of the space elevator.

There, the light energy is converted into electrical energy, which is then transmitted from the synchronous orbit to the ground or upward to the Halo City along the superconductor transmission lines installed on the outside of the space elevator.

If the space elevator only allows the world to see the broad prospects of heading towards the stars and ignites people's enthusiasm for investing in the aerospace industry, then this laser shot from the moon is something that everyone can "see" and has real benefits... …

Without any products, just selling electricity can make the lunar colony, which burns hundreds of millions of dollars a month, easily make a profit. (To be continued.) Activate new URL
