Chapter 296 New Engine Test Run
"Mr. Xiang, how did you solve the problem of too high temperature in the combustion chamber? After all, if the temperature is so high, if we don't solve it, even if we develop the ion pulse ramjet, it will be of no practical use at all, because it takes ten to twenty minutes I can't do much with the time," Zhang Yi said.

"Boss, I wonder how much you know about controllable nuclear fusion technology?" After hearing Zhang Yi's words, Xiang Juncai did not immediately answer Zhang Yi's words, but asked rhetorically.

"Mr. Xiang! I really know a little about this technology. In the 30s, scientists in our world discovered fusion energy. After that, they fantasized that one day, human beings can have inexhaustible energy. , an inexhaustible super energy, and subsequently, many scientists from all over the world have devoted their whole lives to developing this technology.

However, the characteristics of controllable nuclear fusion technology have caused the scientists who developed this technology to fall into despair again and again. This feature is controllable nuclear fusion, which requires extremely harsh conditions, especially the extremely high The temperature makes all the scientists who study this technology sigh. You must know that the temperature required for nuclear fusion needs to reach hundreds of millions of degrees, which is already equivalent to the temperature in the center of the sun. Such high temperatures cannot be produced.

However, with the development of human civilization and the advancement of technology, this problem has finally been effectively solved, such as laser technology.

However, when human scientists solved the temperature required for nuclear fusion and this condition, the more difficult problem was placed in front of many scientists and became a stumbling block.

That is the temperature generated by nuclear fusion, which is as high as hundreds of millions of degrees. All the materials of human beings today cannot withstand such a high temperature, because such a high temperature can definitely reduce all the materials of human beings to ashes.

Therefore, human scientists have tried every means to limit the high temperature of hundreds of millions of degrees generated by nuclear fusion, and to be able to continuously output huge energy for human use.

Finally, scientists came up with the idea of ​​using a magnetic field to confine nuclear fusion. At extremely high temperatures, matter is in an ionic state, so a magnetic field can be used to confine it so that it can react within a specified range.

After the scientists put forward this theory, and immediately carried out a lot of calculations, and proved that this method is indeed feasible, all kinds of magnetic confinement devices appeared in the world for a while, but to our disappointment, All of these magnetic confinement devices failed, either because they could not withstand such a high temperature, or because the required input energy far exceeded the output energy, or they simply could not confine the fusion reaction.

It was not until around the 70s and 1s that human beings manufactured a device capable of real magnetic confinement for the first time, which is the tokamak magnetic confinement device.

Mr. Xiang, I don't know if I'm right. Could it be that this engine also uses a magnetic restraint device to restrain the temperature in the combustion chamber so that it can burn within the specified range. "Zhang Yi said.

"That's right, boss! The casing of our engine adopts this restraint method, so that after the engine is started, the high temperature generated will not touch the casing of the combustion chamber." Xiang Lao said.

"But Mr. Xiang, I remember the method of magnetic confinement, which requires a huge amount of power. Even after this engine is manufactured, there is no battery that can provide such a large amount of power!" Zhang Yi frowned after hearing this. Wrinkled even more, and then asked.

"Boss! I think you misunderstood. What we are manufacturing now is only an aero-engine, not a controllable nuclear fusion device. The temperature to be controlled is only a few thousand degrees, not a temperature of hundreds of millions of degrees. There is no need for huge electric power like the temperature generated by confinement fusion.

And it only needs to be in the combustion chamber, the high temperature generated is not touched, and the outer casing of the combustion chamber is enough, so it does not need a huge amount of power as in the case of constrained nuclear fusion.

Moreover, our magnetic confinement device is not a tokamak magnetic confinement device, so it does not consume much power. If our company's most advanced battery is used, then a ten-kilogram battery can definitely provide the power on this engine. Magnetic confinement device, tens of hours of working time. " Xiang Lao said.

After listening to Xiang Juncai's words, Zhang Yi didn't ask him any more questions. After all, whether it is feasible or not, everything depends on the facts. After a test drive, he will know whether it is feasible.

Soon, the five-meter-long engine was finally installed on the test platform, and everything was ready.

At this time, a rapid siren sounded in the test workshop, which reminded the staff that the test drive was about to start and asked everyone to evacuate to a safe area.

Zhang Yi, Xiang Juncai and others walked towards the monitoring room of the test platform when the alarm sounded, and after they all entered the monitoring room, the door of the monitoring room was also closed, and Xiang Juncai and others also sat down. Arriving in front of the relevant monitoring screen, at the same time, in the center of the monitoring room, a virtual engine of equal proportions appeared on it.

Soon the three sirens of the test workshop sounded. As the president of Qicaishi Group, he said to everyone in the control room, "Let's start the test run!" The first result of their base.

"Start the engine!" A schoolmaster who had been prepared for a long time pressed the start button after listening to Zhang Yi's words.

On the test bench, the engine that was originally in a static state, at the moment such a tyrant pressed the button, a layer of faint blue light appeared in the combustion chamber of the engine lifted on the virtual platform. This is because the magnetic restraint device outside the combustion chamber of this engine has already Start working, so this engine on the virtual platform will have a faint blue light outside the combustion chamber.

But this can only be seen on the virtual platform. The real engine on the test platform does not have blue light. At the same time, the engine also has a weak pulse sound, and the frequency of the sound is also in a state that can be discerned by the ear. My sister's engine has reached the state of a slow test vehicle. Through the glass in front of the control platform, you can clearly see a faint blue light from the nozzle of this engine on the test platform, indicating that this engine already in working condition.

In the slow test run state, after working for about 10 minutes, the engine is in very good condition at this time, and the tester in charge of monitoring the engine state said loudly; "The engine starts normally, the temperature during combustion is normal, the temperature of the tail nozzle is normal, and the temperature of the blades is normal , the power system is working normally." All the monitoring personnel on the platform reported the status of the engine in a loud voice.
