299 Thank you for bringing new hope to the aerospace industry of Dragon Country!
The Long March 7 series of carrier rockets adopts a two-stage half-stage configuration, and the fuel is all-liquid oxygen kerosene.
The total length is 53.1 meters, the take-off mass is about 593 tons, the core diameter is 3.35 meters, the booster diameter is 2.25 tons, and the take-off thrust can reach 720 tons.
But the Long March 7 carrier rocket in front of you does not carry a rocket engine that can burn solid fuel.
It is a lighter ion engine.
"Professor Chen, aren't jet engines used in aviation aircraft? Could it be that launch vehicles can also be used?" Professor Sun Yuanwei asked suspiciously, he is an expert in aerodynamics and nitrophonics.
But the field of aerospace is not his specialty.
When I heard the term jet engine, I thought it was the one I was familiar with.
Naturally, there will be some confusion.
Professor Chen Shi shook his head, "It is an ion jet engine, although it is only two words different from the jet engine, but it is not the same device at all, the ion jet engine is a space propulsion technology that first ionizes the gas and accelerates the ion under the action of a strong electric field, and then pushes satellites, rockets and other aircraft to adjust their attitude or complete 193 orbit transfer and other tasks through reaction force." ”
"Compared with traditional chemical-fueled engines, ion engines can operate in low temperature environments, are lighter, and most importantly, fuel consumption is one-tenth of chemical-fueled rocket engines, or even less, and most importantly, ion engines can increase the maximum acceleration of launch vehicles by about 30 percent."
Professor Sun Yuanwei's eyes suddenly crossed with shock.
Even if he is not an expert in the field of space, he knows that in today's world, the biggest obstacle to the development of the space industry of various countries is the problem of fuel and thrusters.
As early as the sixties and seventies of the last century, the Apollo spacecraft of the Mi Lian landed on the moon.
However, in the following decades, the development of human space industry seemed to have stagnated.
There was no more leapfrog progress.
In addition to global economic, political and other factors, the lack of development of fuel technology is also one of the reasons.
Today, national launch vehicles use chemical fuel.
If you want to achieve the acceleration of the first cosmic speed, you must hoard a large amount of solid fuel, which undoubtedly increases the weight of the launch vehicle and spacecraft themselves, and also limits the maximum range of flight.
This (BFAD) is inherently contrary to each other, and only equilibrium can be selected from them.
If according to Professor Chen Shi, the ion engine replaces the original launch vehicle engine, not only carries less fuel, lighter weight, but also accelerates faster.
Under this circumstance, mankind's space industry will usher in a qualitative leap.
Lu Ze shook his head slightly, and said very Versailles: "Not 30%, according to my calculations, this ion engine named Qua Father can increase the acceleration of the original Long March 7 series carrier rocket by more than 80%, which is still a conservative estimate, maybe it can reach 100%."
"100%?"
Professor Chen Shi instantly exclaimed.
Looking at Lu Ze in disbelief.
"That's 1 times the acceleration, can it really be achieved?"
"It should work."
Lu Ze smiled coyly and said softly.
It's very Versailles no matter how you look at it.
"Oh my God!"
Chen Shi's face was full of shock, staring at the ion engine in mid-air, and sighed softly, "Father Quao......... This name is so well named, the father of the chasing sun: ......... Professor Lu, this ion engine is your Longteng Aviation........... R&D?"
"That's right!"
Lu Ze nodded, "And I developed it."
Professor Chen Shi was completely stunned, as if petrified.
After a long while, he suddenly walked directly opposite Lu Ze, bent down, and bowed deeply.
"Elder Chen, what are you doing?"
Lu Ze tried to help him up, but Professor Chen Shi refused.
The latter slowly got up, looked at him, and said preciously: "Professor Lu, thank you for contributing to the aerospace industry of the Dragon Country, no, the entire Blue Star human space industry, I have done space work all my life, and I dream of making our Dragon Country's space engineering go further, manned spaceflight, landing on the moon, landing on Mars, and even wanting to explore the depths of the universe farther away, the emergence of ion engines will bring new hope to human spaceflight."
At the same time, a doubt in his heart was finally solved.

No wonder Lu Ze dared to announce in public that Universal Space will achieve the launch of a commercial reusable launch vehicle and land on the moon within 1-2 years.
With ion engines, it is entirely possible to achieve this goal.
"Elder Chen, you are serious."
"No, no, no, it's not important at all, old man, I've been busy for most of my life, and in the end, it's not as great as Professor Lu's research and development of ion engines, which has contributed to the aerospace industry of the Dragon Kingdom, it's really ashamed, ashamed!" Professor Chen Shi sighed.
"I only had a flash of inspiration when studying aero engines to verify the feasibility of ion engines, and I am worse than you in terms of corresponding expertise in aerospace engineering." Lu Sheng said modestly.
Professor Lu stared at the ion engine in mid-air, and then turned his head to look in the direction where the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center was located, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face, but he still forced his head and asked, "Professor Lu, this ion engine..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lu Ze.
"Elder Chen, I know what you want to say, in business, I Lu Ze in addition to the academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, or the president of Longteng Airlines, I don't do anything for free, not to mention that I have now established Universal Aerospace, to achieve the launch of a commercial recyclable launch vehicle and land on the moon within 1-2 years, so I will inevitably keep this ion engine for my own use."
Professor Chen Shi was suddenly a little embarrassed.
Unexpectedly, before the words came out, Lu guessed the picture.
He really wanted to ask Lu Ze if he could donate this ion engine to the country.
"Elder Chen, I know your feelings for the space industry of the Dragon Kingdom, and I also have this feeling, and I can assure you that as long as the manned rocket of Universal Space successfully lands on the moon, by that time
Not only this ion engine, including mature design schemes, manufacturing principles, etc., I can all submit them to the country.
"Really?"
Professor Chen Shi's eyes suddenly flashed with a thick essence.
"Of course." Lu Ze said with a smile, "But this requires your cooperation. ”
"How can I cooperate?"
"It's very simple, I want to invite you to be the commander-in-chief of the commercial recoverable launch vehicle of Universal Space and the follow-up lunar landing project, I don't know if you want to?"
Even with the ion engine, Lu Ze has recruited a large number of talents and engineers in the commercial aerospace field from around the world.
But the position of commander-in-chief is still more reliable to give to the people of the Dragon Kingdom.
Professor Chen Shi is famous and has dedicated most of his life to the aerospace industry of the Dragon Kingdom, and more importantly, he is a person introduced by Professor Sun Yuanwei.
That's why Lu Ze made this decision.
"I can't ask for it!"
Professor Chen Shi was so excited that his hands trembled, and he replied urgently.
