Chapter 341: Ion Electric Propulsion Engine
Guo Jianzhuo carefully introduced the basic performance of Yanjin to Ma Yiming. Let him think carefully about the details of all aspects of this material.
After hearing this, Ma Yiming said with emotion: "Director Guo, you are really amazing. The material you developed can perfectly solve the problems we encountered.
It's just that the strength of this material is a bit low, but we can accept its performance by electroplating or spraying.
Although the cost is a bit high, the space shuttle we developed can travel between space and the earth conveniently. The average cost per use will be low enough to offset the high cost. "
After Ma Yiming finished speaking, he said goodbye and left: "Director Guo, I have already learned about this material, and I am going back to the company to continue improving the space shuttle based on the performance of this material.
I'll come back to bother you when the design is finished. "
When Li Hao saw that Ma Yiming was about to leave, he also said: "From what you said just now, the engine has basically been developed.
I don't know what kind of engine our company uses yet. Just in time to go back to the company with you to visit this engine. What kind of design scheme is it adopted. "
Li Hao still remembered the general-purpose engine design scheme brought by Niu Zhengfeng. There were five types of engines in total, including engines using various principles.
He saw the possibility of realizing each of these five engines. I was moved by Niu Zhengfeng's spirit and wanted to go into space earlier, so I approved their project.
"Mr. Li, what a coincidence. The engine we produced today is going to be tested for the first time to verify whether the engine theory is successful. When you see this engine, you will immediately understand which solution it adopts." Ma Yiming said very happily.
He knew that after seeing the engines manufactured by their company, Li Hao could allocate a lot of resources as long as he was happy. It will be much smoother for them to develop the space shuttle.
Li Hao and Ma Yiming walked towards the military industrial enterprise next to the scientific research building. These two places are not far apart, only a few kilometers away.
If it was too far away, Ma Yiming would not be able to come to the scientific research building often. Li Hao didn't come as often as he did, and one of the important reasons was that they were too close.
Li Hao walked into a heavily guarded military industrial enterprise, and now his identity verification is much more convenient, all he needs to do is put his palm on the sensor.
Under the leadership of Ma Yiming, they came to the engine test laboratory.
Standing behind the transparent explosion-proof glass, Li Hao saw two kinds of engines being tested, one big and one small.
Both engines feel very slender. The small engine is five meters long and about 30 centimeters in diameter.
The large engine is 15 meters long and about one meter in diameter.
Li Hao looked at these two engines, and he knew that these two engines were definitely not engines using chemical reagents before they were tested.
From their structure, recall the design scheme. It can be easily inferred that it belongs to the ion electric propulsion engine.
He asked Ma Yiming directly: "This should not be a conventional chemical reagent engine."
"Mr. Li's vision is really precise. This is not a conventional engine. We have conducted hundreds of millions of verifications through the scientific research auxiliary system. We found that in the previous design scheme, the conventional engine could not achieve the desired effect at all.
This engine is our improved ion electric propulsion engine. "Ma Yiming said the specific result.
When Li Hao heard that this kind of engine was an ion electric propulsion engine, he immediately recalled a design plan when he reported it.
The ion electric propulsion engine is a highly efficient space engine. Its prototype has already been produced, but because the technology required for this engine is too high, it has never become the mainstream.
The ion electric propulsion engine produced now is characterized by small thrust and high specific impulse.
It can only be applied to auxiliary space propulsion, such as spacecraft attitude control, position keeping, orbital maneuvering and interplanetary flight, etc.
The principle of this engine is to ionize the gaseous working medium first, and accelerate the ejection of the ions under the action of a strong electric field.
The principle is the same as the traditional chemical propulsion method, but the mass of the working medium required by the ion thruster is small, which is the most suitable technology for long-distance navigation among the practical propulsion technologies.
Li Hao originally wanted to ask Ma Yiming about the specific performance of the ion electric propulsion engine. He saw that the ion electric propulsion engine in the laboratory had spewed out light blue flames.
Knowing that the engine test run was officially started now, they only waited outside for three minutes, and the engine in the laboratory stopped working immediately.
Niu Zhengfeng came out of the laboratory, and he shouted happily: "It's a success, our theory is perfectly supported by the experiment.
As long as the material problem of the engine is solved, this engine can be officially put into use. "
He walked out of the laboratory, saw Li Hao standing outside, and said somewhat cautiously: "Mr. Li is welcome to visit our company."
Ma Yiming immediately said to Niu Zhengfeng: "Old Niu, please introduce the ion electric propulsion engine you designed to Mr. Li."
Talking about the specific engine problem, Niu Zhengfeng was no longer nervous, and introduced to Li Hao in fluent language: "When I designed this general-purpose engine, I found that it was impossible to achieve my goal by using chemical propellants.
But in order not to give up any one solution, I designed five different engines. Through our company's scientific research assistance system plus experiments. In the end, the ion electric propulsion engine was selected.
This five-meter-long ion electric propulsion engine is improved through my original design. It is mainly used for navigating in the atmosphere and propulsing aircraft in the atmosphere.
The propulsion it provides may be relatively weak, but the key is that the ion electric propulsion engine needs much less fuel than ordinary rockets.
Our ion electric propulsion engine can maintain stable performance for a long time, and it will eventually be able to accelerate the space shuttle to very high speed.
Its thrust is only a few Newtons, and its thrust is far inferior to that of an engine that uses chemical reagents.
But with engines using chemical reagents, their thrust can only be maintained for a short period of time, while our engines can maintain it for a long time.
Comprehensive comparison, using our ion electric propulsion engine, the final speed is greater.
It is also very convenient to adjust the power. Used at low power, it can fly like a conventional aircraft in the atmosphere. "
Niu Zhengfeng paused, and continued to introduce: "This 15-meter-long large ion electric propulsion engine is mainly used for space navigation.
It uses a super-strong magnetic field, and the thrust is very powerful, far exceeding the current chemical reagent engine.
The engine uses a radio frequency generator to heat the ions to 1 million degrees Celsius. In the powerful magnetic field, the ions rotate at a fixed frequency, and the radio frequency generator is tuned to this frequency, injecting extremely strong energy into the ions, and continuously increasing the propulsion force.
This kind of engine is only suitable for use in the universe. We would also like to thank Director Bi Ye, who specially designed a super strong magnetic field for us. In order to make this engine shape. "
Li Hao said with great satisfaction: "Your engine has been developed very well. I am waiting for the day when the space shuttle goes to the sky. The group will fully support you."
