Chapter 477 Phoenix-2 Aircraft
It is precisely that Tiangong Technology has made new achievements in materials, which allows their high-energy physics laboratory to have a breakthrough in thermonuclear fusion technology, even though their controllable nuclear fusion technology is only the most basic level at this time. Of technology.
However, Wang Bin and Jin Lao and others believe that as their Tiangong Technology successfully developed the first generation of controllable nuclear fusion technology, as long as the construction of this reactor is completed, the next second and third generations will be It’s relatively simpler. After all, everything is difficult at the beginning, and the most important first step has already gone out, so the next second and third steps also have a direction.
In addition, the ion engine technology of the High Energy Physics Laboratory has also made new achievements during this period. The latest ion engine can be made not only in terms of volume, but also very small in weight, and the largest among them. The thrust of the plasma engine can reach the ton level, which is definitely a historic breakthrough for Tiangong Technology.
After all, before, the maximum thrust of the plasma thruster developed by their company was only one hundred kilograms. Now, due to the establishment of the high-energy physics laboratory, the thrust of the plasma engine has been directly increased. Ten times, the most important thing is that compared with the original plasma thruster of their company, the volume of this plasma thruster is not much larger.
In other words. With this propeller, if their aerospace plane wants to go on a long journey in the Universe, as long as they combine the previous cold nuclear fusion technology, then their aerospace plane will no longer have to worry about fuel. Now, as long as they are in the solar system, their aeroplanes can reach it.
Of course, if you want to go farther, it is unrealistic, because even with a ton-level plasma engine, it will take years or even ten years for an aeroplane to reach the outermost planet of the solar system. time.
It is extremely unrealistic to want the aeroplane to fly out of the solar system, because apart from other things, it is extremely unrealistic just in terms of the lifespan of the occupants.
Even now with Tiangong Technology’s genetic medicine, people who use genetic medicine can reach a maximum of 150 years, which is the maximum value of the theoretical life span of human beings.
With the current theoretical maximum speed of aerospace aircraft in the Universe, you must spend your entire life, and don’t want to fly out of the Kuiper Belt of the solar system, let alone the Oort Nebula.
It should be understood that even if the aerospace plane developed by Tiangong Technology is equipped with a plasma thruster, its maximum speed, according to the data, the maximum theoretical speed, will not exceed one thousandth of the speed of light, and its acceleration process is also Very slow.
And when the speed of the aerospace plane reaches the theoretical maximum speed, its internal ionic medium fuel and cold nuclear fusion fuel will also be consumed.
Therefore, it is still very difficult to fly farther with the current technological level of human civilization.
Of course, if the unmanned Universe probe is used for detection, it will be different. It may take hundreds or even thousands of years to fly out of the solar system.
However, it would take thousands of years to reach the Galaxy that is closest to the solar system at the fastest speed of one thousandth of the speed of light, that is, the neighboring Galaxy.
Therefore, now, neither Wang Bin nor other people at Tiangong Technology have ever thought about flying out of the solar system and exploring other Galaxy, but thinking about how to explore other planets in the solar system and other planets in the solar system. Establish a survival base and eventually emigrate to other Planets.
Of course, this does not mean that in the future, Tiangong Technology will not explore other Galaxy outside the solar system, but this will not be possible until their plasma thruster technology and controlled nuclear fusion technology are fully mature.
When Wang Bin saw the results of his high-energy physics laboratory, he immediately became excited. After all, he had a ton-level plasma medium engine and cold nuclear fusion technology.
So if it is installed on their new type of aerospace plane of Tiangong Technology, that is, the Phoenix-2 aerospace plane under development, it means that this plane has the ability to carry out long-distance voyages in the inner circle of the solar system, and Don’t worry too much about fuel.
As for controllable thermonuclear fusion, don’t think about it for the time being. After all, they have just begun construction of their first experimental nuclear fusion reactor, and it is only the first generation of controllable nuclear fusion technology, in terms of safety. No one knows what is going on, so it is destined to be unable to apply this technology to the aerospace Realm in a short time.
Of course, if Houtian Technology is used to establish a survival base on the moon, or the construction of a super-large space station is completed, then it is feasible to apply controllable nuclear fusion technology to the space station and the lunar survival base as an energy source.
Of course, this prerequisite still depends on the operation of the experimental reactor after operation.
After Wang Bin inspected the various laboratories, he was very satisfied with the development of Tiangong Technology’s main aerospace projects after they moved to the desert.
After all, being able to make such a big achievement in such a short period of time shows that since the period of relocation here. The R&D personnel of Tiangong Technology have not been affected in any way.
Of course, as the second-generation aerospace aircraft project that Wang Bin is most concerned about, the progress during this period is also very good.
The research and development of the first prototype of the Phoenix-2 aircraft has finally entered the manufacturing stage, and the first prototype is also officially the No. 1 aircraft on the side of the desert in the expectation of the owners of Tiangong Technology such as Wang Bin. The manufacturing workshop gradually took shape in the huge workshop, and finally, in the fourth month when Tiangong Technology moved to the desert side, all the assembly work was completed and successfully rolled off the assembly line.
When the Phoenix-2 aircraft successfully rolled off the assembly line and entered the runway of the airport on the side of the desert, Wang Bin, the aircraft designer and manufacturer through technology, and Mr. Qiu and others were very moved.
This is because, although the data of this Phoenix-2 aircraft has undergone many revisions during the design process, it may be the largest type of aircraft developed and manufactured in China so far.
Data for this aircraft.
