"Okay, so about your design car, well, we do have a little bit of ...... Opinion. ”

Looking at Liu Feng's sketch of the car design, it is obvious that the two academicians are still quite dissatisfied.

Especially Academician Kim Dong-han.

Speaking of which, in terms of mechanical engineering, he can be half of Liu Feng's teacher, and he also has high hopes for Liu Feng, but the 'apprentice' is so 'not doing his job', he wants to see what this guy can design!

After all, automobile design is also a sub-direction of mechanical engineering, as a master of mechanical engineering, in this regard, they still have a lot of say, and they have been asked to come to the door before, and have participated in this research.

"What, isn't it convenient to show me?"

Seeing Liu Feng hesitate, Academician Jin's face was a little unhappy.

"That, that's not it," Liu Feng smiled a little embarrassedly, and finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind, and handed over the sketch to the big guy, "That's it, many places are just an idea, and it's not very perfect...... Don't laugh at me when you two see it. ”

"Hmm!"

took the design drawing from Liu Feng's hand, and with a scrutiny, the two carefully browsed it from beginning to end.

Time passed like this, minute by minute.

Liu Feng, who was standing at the desk, anxiously waiting for the two bigwigs to speak, had already taken more than a dozen deep breaths.

And at this moment, the two finally finished reading the sketch in their hands, glanced at each other, and could see the surprise in each other's eyes:

These things are really designed by a "rookie" who has only been in contact with cars for less than a year?

Although, many of the ideas are still quite naïve, but on the whole - very good?!

However, the two did not show too much praise, afraid that this guy would be too proud.

Academician Jin quietly pushed his glasses and said with a straight face: "The imagination is quite rich. ”

Are you praising me or hurting me?

A bitter smile appeared on Liu Feng's face.

Don't laugh at me, I wouldn't have shown it to you if I had known.

Coughing lightly, he explained, "I also think it's quite rich...... That, don't take it seriously, it's all cranky......"

"Forget it!" Academician Jin is not good to continue to criticize Liu Feng.

In the final analysis, whether it is in terms of position or academic achievements, people have already stood at the top of the industry, and they are well-deserved masters of science, not much stronger than their small academicians?

Point to point.

"We're here to see if the dignified chief designer of antimatter engineering still remembers his job...... Well, this is a major problem we have encountered recently, you take a look first, we are here waiting for your reply. ”

Only then did he know why the two were dissatisfied, Liu Feng took the document embarrassedly, and said embarrassedly: "What, those two are free, well, I'll take a look first...... Tingting, you greet the two teachers for me first. ”

……

In the capital, in a quiet villa.

said that they were waiting for Liu Feng's reply, but in the end, the three of them still discussed with each other.

In response to the problems encountered on the antimatter engine, Liu Feng gave them answers one by one, and if they couldn't answer them for the time being, after the discussion of the three of them, they basically came up with a plan of action that everyone accepted.

Finally, after a heated discussion, the scene was slightly silent for dozens of seconds.

I saw Academician Chen Xuedong shook his head helplessly, as if admitting defeat, and said: "Okay, anyway, you are the chief designer of antimatter engineering, and we can only listen to you." ”

In the final analysis, it was actually he who couldn't say Liu Feng.

In the past, when he was in Hefei, he had been studying mechanical engineering, and he was more inclined to engineering and manufacturing than theory, but now he suddenly started to debate the direction of theory with others, and he obviously felt struggling from it, especially when the other party was still a master in theoretical research.

At the beginning, he was able to keep up with Liu Feng's pace, and the two sides had back and forth, but as the discussion deepened, he found that many things had not been touched for a long time, and he had even forgotten them now!

In addition to flipping through the literature, in some places he even had to resort to reference books, which could be able to keep up with theoretical deductions, but in the end, Liu Feng deliberately released some very esoteric theories as if he was intentional, so that he didn't have a chance to flip through the literature.

Hmph, young man, stinky boy!

Stopping the pen in his hand, Liu Feng smiled, without the slightest respect for his predecessors, and said in a summary for the last question: "Okay, it's decided." Regarding the material of the 'combustion chamber' of the pulsed energy engine, we can directly change the structure of the 'combustion chamber' to a carbon 'sail', and then coat the carbon 'sail' with a layer of depleted uranium. ”

Academician Jin Donghan on the side also had a bad look on his face, compared to Chen Xuedong, he was not much better.

But I nodded in agreement.

Although Liu Feng didn't understand a large part of the mechanism of this carbon 'sail' when he introduced it just now, it didn't mean that he didn't understand the role of this material at all.

The reason why Liu Feng called it a carbon 'sail' is because this material is mainly composed of a carbon ring and a complex silicon-titanium-aluminum actinide alloy, and at the same time is made into a wind 'sail'-like structure; when the antimatter hits the carbon 'sail', it will cause the fission of the uranium coating on the surface, producing two 'sub-nuclei' by-products that are ejected in opposite directions, and will release more than 2 GeV (2 billion electron volts) of energy.

Some of this by-product will continue to be sprayed onto the uranium-coated sails, transferring kinetic energy, just as the wind inflates the canvas of a fast sailboat.

The other part of the by-product will be depleted and extinguished, just like a normal rocket propellant.

Therefore, using this material with this configuration is equivalent to having two engines running propulsion at the same time, one in front of the other, and theoretically as long as the energy is sufficient, the spacecraft can quickly accelerate to nearly the speed of light!

Of course, it sounds great, but in the end, it is not reliable, and it can only be said by concrete experiments.

glanced at Academician Chen Xuedong, and the two sighed in their hearts, and both accepted Liu Feng's treatment plan.

……

Regarding the research and development of antimatter engines, the theoretical research route has already been opened up, and now the problems encountered are encountered in practical operation.

To a certain extent, engaging in scientific research is actually like an actor acting in a show, no one can pack tickets without any problems when they are not on the stage, they can only make these problems as visible as possible by constantly rehearsing, and then solve them in a targeted manner.

Just like the problem of the pulsed energy engine this time.

I don't know what kind of difficulties I will encounter in the next research.

In this regard, Liu Feng was not very anxious.

The success of the antimatter demonstration reactor and the superconductivity at room temperature has made Huaguo invincible, and in a short period of time, others will not want to catch up, and they have plenty of time to solve these difficulties;

What's more, it's useless to be in a hurry about some things, you always have to eat a bite of food, and no one can eat in one breath to become fat, right?

That's why he had time to design his own supercar.

However, this goods are not in a hurry, everyone else is already in a hurry to scold their mothers!

The Beijing Hypersonic Vehicle Research Institute is one of the scolders.

At this time, there was silence in the conference room of the research institute.

Staring directly at the video on the projection, a group of people all looked serious, and they didn't know how many times they watched the video, but no one turned it off.

For a long time, the general view of aerospace is that the 21st century should be the era of hypersonic flight, which is the high frontier of global competition, and its main goal is to be able to achieve hypersonic cruise flight, to reach the target or destination in a short time, and save time;

Therefore, whether it can take the lead in the era of hypersonic flight can be said to be crucial to a country's future position in the world.

In this regard, the people of country M have an ultimate goal, that is, to develop a new weapon that is more than five times faster than any kind of missile in country M's original arsenal and can attack targets anywhere on the earth within one hour.

Just two days ago, the hypersonic vehicle X-51B, a hypersonic vehicle jointly developed by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) of country M and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, finally successfully flew test.

Since hypersonic vehicles have become the darlings of research in various countries, the people of country M have once again taken the lead in this field!

Although, there is specific intelligence that the X-51B uses nothing more than a JP-7 hydrocarbon fuel scramjet engine jointly developed by Boeing and Pratt Whitney (referred to as Pratt & Whitney), and the designed flight Mach number is only between 6~6.5, which is less than 15% of the theoretical design value of the pulsed energy engine, and even the speed of ordinary ballistic missiles may be stronger than it.

However, the trajectory of ballistic missiles is relatively fixed, and although it can change orbits, it is still possible to intercept them in the terminal and middle stages; hypersonic vehicles, also known as "wave-control weapons", are multi-stage orbits, and the mid-course listening technology cannot intercept them at this stage!

Therefore, once the research of this weapon is successful, it will break the strategic balance of the great powers, and any major power that takes the lead in succeeding will make the other great powers restless, but now, the people of country M have really succeeded!

And everything is difficult at the beginning, the first time was successful, and then gradually increasing the Mach number of the aircraft, it is completely a matter of course, I believe that it will not be long before the people of country M will launch a hypersonic vehicle of Mach 10, Mach 15 or even Mach 20, and the strategic threat to other countries will be increased by an exponential level!

The relationship between Hua and M is not very good, and they almost did it not long ago!

However, in the face of such a threat, it is not the defense department that worries the most, but these domestic experts who are also in this field!

Yang Xijia, the host of the meeting and the newly appointed director of the Hypersonic Vehicle Research Institute, said with a dark face: "Let's talk about it, what do you think?"

It is said that the new official took office with three fires, but why did he encounter such a thing before his fire was burned?

Before, their hypersonic vehicle WU-14 was being studied well, but they had to split their scramjet engine unit, and even the former director Professor Long Wenxing himself ran away to study what pulsed energy engine?

The WU-14, which was originally planned to be able to fly this year, can only be postponed indefinitely...... Isn't this TM?

Okay, now that the people of country M have finally taken the limelight, the pressure has fallen on his head, comfortable?

I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup that guy poured into you!

Yang Xijia couldn't complain about Professor Long, nor did he complain about the decisions made by the higher-ups, so he could only secretly complain to Liu Feng, the culprit who caused all this, in his heart.

Of course, his mood is actually complicated, and he can't say that without this kind of thing, he can't help it!

Do I thank you or thank you?

It's not just him, the director, but in fact, why aren't these people at the meeting complaining in their hearts?

If Professor Long didn't take people away, they should be the ones who would have been in the limelight!

Well, it made the people of country M out of the limelight!

Feelings?

What else can you think!

Everyone looked at each other, and after hesitating for a while, an old qualified expert finally stood up, cleared his throat and said:

"Ahem, that, about the X-51B of the M people, in fact, it has long been within our expectations, if not this year, it may be next year, which we can't stop. ”

As early as 2004, NASA took the lead in launching the X-43 test vehicle, and the second test flight broke through 7 times the speed of sound, setting a new record for flight speed in the atmosphere in one fell swoop.

Shortly thereafter, the hopeful Air Force of country M took over the development work in full, and based on the results of NASA, launched the more complex X-51 project, from the previous X-51 to the X-51A, until the current X-51B, which has been tested for three generations before it succeeded.

Therefore, what he said could not be prevented from clearly stating a fact.

"In fact, we don't need to make a fuss, and we don't need to be anxious, after all, the WU-14 we are developing is not inferior to the X-51B at all, and it can even be said that it is crushed at all levels! As long as the pulse energy engine is finally installed, the minimum speed can reach Mach 30......."

However, that must also be pretended, God knows when Liu Feng will be able to get this thing out!

When he said this, the expert himself didn't have much confidence, and he kept complaining in his heart.

opened up the situation, and finally someone stood up and said: "Everyone, I think we should immediately hand a report to the above: restart the scramjet engine project, as for the pulsed energy engine or something, the ghost knows whether it is reliable or not?"

"Nonsense," Hearing his suggestion, Yang Xijia directly reprimanded him, "The pulse energy engine was proposed by Professor Liu, after so many people's arguments, how can it be unreliable? Don't take out this kind of thing in the future!"

On the surface, Director Yang suppressed the man's momentum, but in his heart he actually agreed with it.

Didn't he hold such a meeting just to get the approval of those present?

Maybe they understood what this person meant, or maybe everyone was already full of resentment, but the people present expressed their positions one after another, supporting the opinion of the person just now:

"Professor Li is right, is it true that they have not succeeded on their side, and we have been waiting for it to fail, there is no such reason!"

"Yes, the transcendental ramjet engine should be restarted, and the Nth generation of hypersonic weapons has not been developed by the people of M countries, and our first generation has not yet started testing!"

"This is a matter related to national strategic security, how can they be allowed to mess around!"

Once someone opens up the situation, there is no need to worry about anything, and everyone present said what was in their hearts one by one.

- Obviously, it's all about a certain Professor Liu!

That's right, except for the former director Professor Long Wenxing, who knows exactly what the so-called pulsed energy engine is, in fact, the people present don't know much about it, and they haven't even heard of antimatter, only a few general parameters of the engine.

However, with such a few parameters, there is no engineering prototype and no specific R&D cycle, how can they be convinced?

It's good that the X-51B of the M people didn't succeed before they came, they could afford to wait, but the X-51B was already successful!

The world has been suffering for a long time!

This was the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the resistance hidden in my heart finally exploded in full force at this moment.

"Yang Suo, you are our leader, you can't watch others fool around and let us carry the black pot!"

"That's it, Long is gone, is it possible that without them, the scramjet engine can't be done?"

"Restart, must restart!"

"Why don't we join forces and report to the top together?"

A group of people looked at Yang Xijia at the top with blank eyes, and it seemed that as long as he nodded, everyone could report it jointly.

Seeing this, Director Yang nodded with satisfaction, but said quietly on the surface: "But after all, this is a decision made by the high-level decision, how can it be easily changed?"

"Comrade Director, even if it is wrong, should we always abide by it? As scientific research workers, we should be worthy of our own duties and not watch the country suffer even greater losses!"

"That's right, Yang Suo, if you still hesitate...... I heard that not only us, but also many people on the sixth generation aircraft project are dissatisfied with this, you can contact them, and we will report together!"
