Chapter 318: The spacecraft test flight is exposed. Does it look like Feizhu? White: You have learned the essence!

In fact, the original design of Tengyun-1 had several propulsion options available.

Including air compressor motors, aircraft engines, and even high-end ion jets, etc.

Later all of them were denied.

One reason is the mismatch between energy and power. The Tengyun-1 uses hydrogen bomb batteries, which can continuously supply electricity. The propulsion method supported by fossil energy requires continuous addition of energy, which will greatly reduce the endurance of the Tengyun-1.

The air compressor motor is an electrically driven engine that can compress air and eject it outward, providing huge power to the spacecraft.

The problem is that the power consumption of the air compressor motor is too high. The hydrogen battery needs to support the gravity system, but it cannot support the operation of the air compressor motor.

Some people suggested re-examining and designing the power system, that is, to create a propulsion mechanism that is fully suitable for gravity spacecraft.

This suggestion is certainly acceptable, and the higher authorities are also considering setting up a project to specifically study such propulsion devices suitable for gravity spacecraft.

The problem is that a completely new power system cannot be manufactured all at once.

When it comes to the research on domestic aviation engines, we have to talk about the Taihang engine. The development of the Taihang engine took eight to ten years. After several years of debugging and installation on fighter jets, various problems still existed. They were constantly corrected, solved and improved. It took nearly 20 years for it to mature.

When the Taihang engine was initially studied, there were many aircraft engines to refer to.

To study a power device suitable for gravity spacecraft is really a brand new research, and there is not even any reference. How long will it take from design to manufacturing and then to maturity?

The minimum span is ten or twenty years!
Therefore, the best choice is the existing air compressor motor, but the air compressor motor requires more electricity
This is also one of the reasons why Liu Zhiwen’s team is eager to build a large spacecraft.

In fact, the fundamental reason for the difficulty in power is that the gravity spacecraft is too heavy.

In physics, acceleration and mass are inversely proportional. Under fixed thrust conditions, the higher the mass of an object, the lower the acceleration.

The mass of a gravity spacecraft is easily one or two hundred tons, which is ten times higher than that of a heavy fighter, and the effect of being driven by a conventional engine is very poor.

When installing other types of power systems, the spacecraft needs to be modified for this purpose, and a lot of energy needs to be invested in completing the balance adjustment of the facilities. After a series of work, the effect of the power system is still very poor…

has no meaning?
Liu Zhiwen’s team finally chose to use an electric motor to drive the propeller.

This solution is the simplest, does not require much effort, and is the most stable in terms of control. The only problem is that the power is too low, causing the lateral flight of the gravity spacecraft to initially be like rowing in the air.

Of course, it’s not that exaggerated.

Even though it is propelled by a propeller, the acceleration is very low, but the speed can be accumulated little by little, and the final flying speed is still very fast. This is what is reported in the news.

After the test flight of Tengyun-1, relevant reports appeared in public opinion.

Many videos can be seen on the Internet, some of which were obviously shot with mobile phones, showing the cute Tengyun-1 type flying through the air.

Some of the pictures are very clear, and you can see the full picture of the Tengyun-1.

Of course, there are also slow-motion flight videos.

The slow-flying video of the Tengyun-1 is much more popular than the fast-flying video, because its chubby body is indeed a bit cute, and coupled with the propeller behind it, some netizens jokingly call it “Taiyi Zhenren’s flying pig.”

When a video appears, it is followed by reports one after another.

“The gravity spacecraft takes off for a test flight, codenamed Tengyun!”

“Flying through the clouds, the gravity spacecraft actually looks like the mythical flying pig!”

“The first generation of gravity spacecraft is revealed, announcing that aviation has officially entered the era of gravity technology!”

The Tengyun-1 model still has a lot to offer.

Even though the screw drive lowers the grade a bit, the overall effect is still amazing.

Even though there are still flaws in the propulsion system and there is some disappointment within the R&D team, it is undeniable that the gravity spacecraft represents the most advanced technology.

The gravity technology of other countries and institutions is still in the laboratory, but they have used gravity technology to build real aircraft.

The outside world is not only paying attention to the gravity system, “low-temperature nuclear fusion” has once again become the focus.

Gravity technology has been exposed for several years. The “mysterious spaceship” that was first photographed had circuits connected to the ground, which clearly showed a lack of power supply.

Now it is flying in the air in a swagger, and there must be energy facilities that can supply a large amount of electricity.

“Low-temperature nuclear fusion!”

“It must be a low-temperature nuclear fusion battery!”

“Energy technology is more advanced than gravity technology! Energy technology is the foundation.”

“With this kind of energy technology, there will be huge breakthroughs in both aviation and aerospace.”

This is the case.

Whether it is aviation or aerospace, the biggest challenge is energy, not technology.

“Low-temperature nuclear fusion” can be used on gravity spacecraft, and can also be used on various other aviation and aerospace vehicles.

For example, satellites.

The biggest limitation of satellite functions is energy, and most satellites can only rely on solar panels for support.

If the satellite can be equipped with energy devices that can continuously supply high power, it can even be equipped with electrical weapons, such as electromagnetic guns or laser weapons.

By then, it will not only be a functional satellite, but a satellite weapon with space lethality.

A satellite that can adjust its orbit at will and carry space weapons…

Scary to think about!
The same applies to energy technology used in spacecraft. If a spacecraft can always have high electrical energy, it can continue to advance away from the earth without having to consider the first cosmic speed at all.

If combined with gravity technology, traveling within the solar system will not be a problem.

In short, once the energy problem is solved, most of the technical difficulties in the aviation and aerospace fields will be solved.

……

The other side of the world.

The reports of the Tengyun-1 landing on the ground once again put pressure on the decision-making departments.

The Department of Energy has decided to further increase its support for Dennis White’s team’s research and development of “low-temperature nuclear fusion” technology.

Following Taylor Wilson’s suggestion, the first step for Dennis White’s team was to replicate the nuclear transfer electroporation experiment, which they have completed.

By continuously adjusting the design, the experimental team was able to measure electrical signals in several temperature ranges.

But what’s next?

Dennis White’s team’s research was stopped for a long time, mainly to discuss the next experimental plan.

After the Tengyun-1 was exposed, the decision-making department analyzed the appearance of the spacecraft and made certain speculations about the energy device of the spacecraft.

“The Tengyun spacecraft is very similar to the previously exposed flying device. The energy devices are all in the ring pipeline, which is below the gravity system.”

“Based on the position of the propellers and brackets, the energy system does not occupy a large space and cannot support the installation of strong magnetic fields or other equipment…”

“So, we think that low-temperature nuclear fusion may be an autonomous reaction achieved under certain conditions.”

“It’s possible that the magnetic field environment is integrated with the gravitational system.”

“Or maybe it’s just a simple autonomous reaction.”

“This autonomous reaction may not be a simple deuterium-tritium fusion, but perhaps a completely new type of fusion, or perhaps other raw materials have been added.”

A nuclear physicist immediately refuted, “This is impossible. In the process of deuterium-tritium fusion, it makes no sense for other elements to participate in the reaction.”

The scholar who gave the intelligence briefing said nothing more.

impossible?
In the process of development of new physics, many impossibilities have been broken. It was originally said that low-temperature nuclear fusion was impossible, but now it is almost confirmed.

Dennis White and Taylor Wilson were participants in the meeting. They said nothing at the meeting, but just listened to the analysis of others, but they felt a lot of pressure in their hearts.

Others are just analyzing, and it doesn’t matter whether what they say is right or not.

They are doing research directly.

The research conducted by Dennis White’s team is the low-temperature nuclear fusion research and development project with the greatest support from the Department of Energy. It can even be said that there is “no restriction on the use of funds”, which obviously places great hope on the research.

In this situation, everyone hopes that research will make progress.

Dennis White is the leader of the team and he is under greater pressure. Many people ask for his opinion, but he can only smile and not reveal any information.

In fact, he had no idea what the next research direction should be.

The latest intelligence analysis may be helpful for research, but how to do it specifically?

An autonomous reaction possibly caused by magnetic field interference?

Their current nuclear fusion experiments are reactions under the interference of magnetic fields, but they are not autonomous. The so-called “new fusion” and “addition of raw materials” analyzed at the meeting…

What a joke!
Can other materials be added to deuterium-tritium fusion? Other elements cannot participate in the fusion reaction.

Dennis White felt completely confused. He didn’t even want to accept low-temperature nuclear fusion itself.

Research has long gone beyond knowledge and even beyond imagination.

The problem is that the technology already exists.

Dennis White felt like he had been left behind by the world. The world had changed and he could no longer keep up.

“Oh~~~”

On the way back, Dennis White kept sighing, and finally asked Taylor Wilson, “What do you think? The analytical information.”

“Of course, the next step is the most important for us and must be determined as soon as possible without any further delay.”

“Otherwise we might be considered incompetent, and some people would be unhappy anyway…”

“That’s the situation right now.”

Taylor Wilson pondered and said, “I’m sure no one knows what to do next.”

He just pointed down and added, “I mean this country.”

“If you ask me, maybe we should listen to them?”

“You mean the group of guys just now?”

“Correct.”

Wilson said, “They said it could be other nuclear fusions, or adding some kind of raw materials?”

“We can’t experiment with the former, but we can with the latter.”

“The experiment we are doing is to conduct fusion reactions in a magnetic field environment. We can add various elements or materials to measure it. Maybe we will find something?”

“What a great idea!”

Dennis White’s eyes lit up, and he patted Wilson on the shoulder and said, “It seems that you have learned the essence of my teachings.”

“??”

“For funding, no matter what!”

White’s eyes were full of admiration. “Anyway, we don’t know what to do next, so we just do what they say.”

“This way, our experiments will be supported. Even if we don’t find anything, we will still listen to them. We can blame them and say that the intelligence analysis was wrong.”

“Uh~~”

Wilson grinned hard, he really didn’t think so.

They don’t know what to do for the next experiment, but the analysis of the Ministry of Energy makes sense, at least it is a research direction.

So give it a try.

Dennis White also agreed and decided to give it a try. The only question was, would there be any safety risks?

He expressed his concerns to Dennis White, “The research in the new physics experimental direction is very risky.”

“Fermilab, Nuclear Organization…”

“You know.”

Dennis White didn’t care at all. He smiled and said, “They are doing a chaotic force field experiment, and we are studying nuclear fusion. What’s the problem?”

“That’s not relevant at all!”

“Don’t worry, it’s very safe!”

……

After the test flight work was completed, Zhang Shuo returned to the Source Point Theory Research Center to focus on theoretical and experimental work.

Two months later, the new experimental base was built.

Zhang Shuo also went to the new experimental base and talked about research directions with others.

There are many experimental directions, and the main direction has been determined before, which is to add different decay elements to study the impact of decay on the creation of gravitational fields.

The experiments can connect to fundamental theory and explore the weak force.

Zhang Shuo also wants to study gravitational technology. The biggest and most important direction is to study the expansion of the gravitational field.

Now that the experimental base has just been built, the equipment still needs to be tested many times before we can actually carry out experiments in the main direction.

Zhang Shuo also wanted to take the opportunity to solve the technical problems of the gravitational field. The flying scene of Tengyun-1 kept lingering in his mind, especially the propeller at the back of the spacecraft…

I can’t forget it!
He doesn’t consider himself a perfectionist, but the driving of a gravity spacecraft is indeed a big problem. If he can develop the technology to expand the gravitational field and then increase the strength of the gravitational field, the problem of the power system can be easily solved.

To this end, he also established a task –

【Task 4】

[Research project name: Applicable gravitational field range enlargement technology (difficulty assessment: B). ]

[Progress: 20.831%]

(The task can be canceled. Currently, the number of scientific research coins required to cancel the task is 0.)
(The remaining progress requires 160 scientific research coins.)
“200 research coins mission?”

“really!”

“It’s not difficult!”

Zhang Shuo was mentally prepared for this because the research already had a direction.

The range of the gravitational field can be expanded by simply increasing the density of the medium material, but this alone cannot be directly applied because the increase in the density of the medium material will bring pressure to the pipeline.

Others are gravity research teams that have done similar experiments, and they found that increasing density does not cause the gravitational field to expand on a large scale.

If it is only expanded on a small scale, the application effect will be much worse and cannot offset the negative impact it brings.

“Such a simple study…”

“During the equipment testing process, it should be almost finished, right?”

Zhang Shuo is already looking forward to it.
