Madam, As Much As You Want

Chapter 144 The Heart of the Dragon! The aero-engine project starts!

"The elites of the major military regions don't have to!"

"It's almost enough for the Jinling Military Region!"

"In addition to the ninety-six special elites who have been protecting me from the capital before! 35

"There's no need to spend any more time!"

After Chen Chong considered it for a while, he spoke.

The person who answered the phone thought for a while and said:

"I can't make a decision on this, I have to wait until I report to my superiors before deciding!

"What equipment you need here, as well as the relevant personnel, I can arrange it directly!

"Also, your assistant at the Beijing Research Institute, Zhao Tianhe, will also come to you tomorrow."

"If you need anything at that time, just tell Zhao Tianhe directly!"

"Okay, let's arrange it like this!" After Chen Chong finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

When he arrived at the new research institute that had been repaired, Chen Chong looked at the engine of the engine laboratory and activated his abilities.

[Full set of information on the 19th generation liquid metal hydrogen engine in 2322: 30 billion! 】

[Detailed application data of metal hydrogen in 2312: 10 billion!]

[Detailed explanation of the preparation method of metal hydrogen 23 in 2312: 20 billion! 】

[2312 full set of information on metal hydrogen manufacturing equipment: 10 billion!]

[Full set of metal hydrogen engines in all fields in 2350: 50 billion!]

Chen Chong took a closer look at the information and calculated that it would cost about 150 billion to develop metal hydrogen that can be practically used and actually commercialize it!

This is only the field of metal hydrogen!

Metal hydrogen, how to say it, was very hot in the past.

Because most people neither understand the application prospects of metal hydrogen, nor the technological development history of metal hydrogen preparation.

So ordinary people don't care, and it happens that most of the media people are also ordinary people.

In the past few years, the metal hydrogen research in Dongguo has actually been fruitful.

In the past, Dongguo's metal hydrogen experiment research has been lagging behind for a long time, including the results of that time, which has relatively limited significance to the international academic community.

But for Dongguo, this metal hydrogen experiment means that he has finally squeezed into the first echelon of metal hydrogen research, which is gratifying.

Metallic hydrogen was a very hot concept during the Cold War.

Because the preparation is more difficult than expected, the technological progress is slower than expected.

In the 21st century, the popularity of public opinion has dropped significantly.

However, in the past few years, the United States has repeatedly announced technological breakthroughs in metal hydrogen, and relevant public opinion has heated up again.

First, in 2015, scientists at Sandia National Laboratories in the United States used the ultra-strong magnetic field of the Z Pulse Power Facility.

A shock wave was produced to compress liquid deuterium, and the reflection phenomenon was observed under the pressure of 300GPa.

These scientists believed that this was characteristic of the transition of deuterium from an insulator to a metal, and claimed to have made metallic deuterium.

In October 2016, researchers at Harvard University also announced that they had made metallic hydrogen.

In order to make metallic hydrogen, American scientists applied a force of 32.5 million kilograms on a working surface of 6.5 square centimeters.

Metal hydrogen has many potential uses and is of great significance!

The world's current mainstream heavy rocket fuel is liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen.

The rocket has an important indicator called specific impulse. The unit is used to use seconds, which represents the number of seconds that 1 kilogram of matter produces 1 kilogram of thrust and can last.

Generally speaking, the specific impulse of a liquid rocket engine is around 450 seconds.

If the liquid hydrogen is replaced by metal hydrogen, the energy density can be increased by 7 times, the volume of the rocket can be greatly reduced, and the specific impulse can reach nearly 2,000 seconds.

If technically possible, metallic hydrogen could become the strongest rocket propellant for mankind.

The energy density of metal hydrogen reaches 218kJ/g, which is 50 times that of TNT explosive!

It is more than 30 times that of hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane, the strongest high-energy explosive in human beings!

Such high-energy explosives have infinite application possibilities in the field of conventional weapons.

Moreover, such high-energy explosives can be further used to directly create an extreme pressure environment, directly realize nuclear fusion, and make a "clean and environmentally friendly" hydrogen bomb!

And if metal hydrogen can be further applied, nuclear weapons can be further miniaturized, lightweight and tactical.

This is also the connection between metallic hydrogen and nuclear fusion that Chen Chong has always been very concerned about!

Of course, for Chen Chong, this time, metal hydrogen is as important as aero-engines.

There is no distinction between the two.

Chen Chong spent 150 billion to purchase all the metal hydrogen materials.

At the same time, after buying the materials, he looked at the F135 aero-engine model in the laboratory.

"This F135 engine is composed of tens of thousands of parts, and the machining accuracy can reach micron level or even nanometer level! 95

"Up to now, the aero-engine project, Dongguo is still quite backward.

Chen Chong looked at this model and wondered where to start his research.

Many people are very puzzled, why Dongguo is a big manufacturing country, but still can't make aero engines with superior performance?

The aircraft engine is known as the heart of the dragon, the flower of industry, and the jewel in the crown of industry. ,

It is also recognized as the most sophisticated and complex industrial project in human history. ,

Each engine has tens of thousands of parts, and the technical principle is 0 fault tolerance.

It is a veritable industrial science extreme challenge!

The first difficulty in making this thing is the material, which requires high temperature resistant materials with very good performance.

When the aero-engine is used, it needs to work under ultra-high temperature conditions for a long time, so it has extremely high requirements on the melting point of the material.

Taking the Airbus A380 as an example, after the Rolls 790 engine equipped with it is started, the maximum temperature inside the engine is above 1,700 degrees Celsius.

This temperature exceeds the melting point of most alloys.

For example, the Yangtze River 1000A engine of Dongguo, the engine blades are made of titanium alloy, and the melting point is about 1,600 degrees Celsius.

If the engine temperature reaches 1,700 degrees Celsius like the Airbus A380, the inside of the engine will melt directly.

Therefore, the material can't pass the test, and it will never be possible to get an aero engine with excellent performance.

The engine is powerful, but it does not dare to release it with all its strength.

In this regard, the United States and other Western countries have carried out a long-term technological blockade against the Eastern countries.

What's more, what Chen Chong wants to study is an engine fueled by liquid metal hydrogen.

After the metal hydrogen is burned, the temperature will only be higher than 1,700 degrees Celsius.

Another difficulty is the downsizing of aero-engines.

This is also the need to overcome the material difficulties!

General Electric Company has developed 4822 dark gold.

The weight of a single engine is reduced by about 90 kg.

And it has outstanding effects in fuel saving and nitrogen emission reduction. It was put into commercial operation in 2009 and achieved sensational progress in the aviation and materials fields at that time.

In this regard, the East Country has not made breakthrough progress.

After Chen Chong thought for a while, he knew that if he wanted to fix the metal hydrogen engine.

The first thing to solve is the material difficulty!
