Chapter 407: On the Space Station
"Mishima, what do you think about the situation where the thrust exceeds the expected value?" Huang Haojie asked, staring at the thrust value that exceeded the expected 34%.
Mishima Ji scratched his head and pondered hard, and after a while, he carefully checked the real-time monitoring data, and soon found a trace of suspicion, Mishima Ji said with some uncertainty: "I suspect that it may have something to do with light radiation, which is not completely converted into heat energy and increases the thrust of the engine." ”
"Radiation?" Huang Haojie thought about it, and he agreed with this guess.
After all, power cannot appear for no reason, according to the mass-energy equation and the conservation of energy, the extra power must have a source.
Of the total energy generated by the fusion reactor, 28% is converted into electricity, and the remaining 72% of the energy is about 60% of the heat and light radiation, in addition to the helium plasma that is not released in the vacuum chamber.
This 60% of the heat energy and light radiation cannot be completely converted into nitrogen plasma, especially the part of optical radiation.
The nitrogen plasma ejected by the entire ion engine is very powerful, but the thrust it actually provides is very limited, only 37 kilograms of thrust.
However, compared to those ion engines that can only push a piece of paper, 37 kg has been strengthened by several orders of magnitude.
Soon the 1800-second nuclear fusion reaction was coming to an end, and the reactor discharged the condensed vacuum chamber at the moment of the reaction.
In an instant, the 99.4 grams of helium plasma in the reactor was sprayed outward from the ion engine nozzle.
Huang Haojie looked at the thrust at that moment had reached about 6542 kilograms, yes it was 6542 kilograms, in less than a second, this ion engine instantly burst out with a powerful thrust of 6.5 tons.
However, this instantaneous thrust is the fusion reactor that ejects the remaining 12% of the energy in it in an instant.
Zhou Botong was amazed by this ion engine, which can last 37 kilograms of thrust for 1,800 seconds and 6,542 kilograms of thrust in an instant: "Nuclear fusion is really extraordinary. ”
Mishima Jiya said as he danced excitedly:
"Nuclear fusion is a qualitative leapfrog development, even if it can't be used in the atmosphere, we can use it in outer space, especially now that the power has reached such a large level, if we increase the nuclear fusion reactor, maybe we can create an ion engine with a continuous thrust of more than 1,000 kilograms."
"I'll leave it to you to develop a more thrust ion engine, I'll come back when I'm free."
"Slow down, chairman!"
"Thank you very much for the chairman's guidance."
Huang Haojie left the Keelung Ion Engine Research Institute directly and returned to his secret research institute again.
Zhong drove him back to Huang Beppu in a surging Dawn sports car, this time returning to the secret research institute, mainly to take the anthropomorphic robot off the assembly line, and after putting the anthropomorphic robot back in the storage room, he left Keelung City.
In Shanmei's secret research institute, after Huang Haojie opened his eyes, he got up from the massage chair and moved his muscles and bones.
[Master, your stand-in robot has arrived inside the new Kaohsiung space station.] ]
"Oh? I know. Huang Haojie continued to move his body, and after eating some fruit, he went online again.
This time, the stand-in robot he launched was secretly stored in the new Kaohsiung space station.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he floated out of the storage cabinet with some discomfort, this was the first time he felt the microgravity of outer space.
At present, the construction of the new Kaohsiung space station has been completed, especially after the upgrading of the mass projector, the launch has become easier and easier.
Zhang Yunfeng, who was in the general control module of the new Kaohsiung space station, suddenly received a message, and he immediately widened his eyes and suspected that he had made a mistake, so he looked at it carefully.
"Green pine."
"Yes." Liao Qingsong hurriedly replied.
"Let's go to cabin 43." Zhang Yunfeng turned his head again and instructed Lu Shi, the deputy base commander on the side, "Lu Shi, you are in charge of command for the time being. ”
"No problem." Some wheat-colored Lu Shi immediately responded.
Zhang Yunfeng hurriedly took Liao Qingsong to cabin 43.
"Head, what's wrong?" Liao Qingsong asked while floating with his hands and feet.
"The chairman is here." Zhang Yunfeng replied concisely.
"......" Liao Qingsong suddenly couldn't react: "The chairman is up?" There are no manned spacecraft coming over today, are they?"
"It's confidential, don't ask." Zhang Yunfeng is the only person who knows the truth of the matter on the new Kaohsiung space station, and the storage cabinet is still placed in the No. 43 module by himself.
As soon as Liao Qingsong heard that it was confidential, he didn't ask anything anymore.
The two of them buried their heads and floated towards cabin 43, and after a while, they came to the airtight door of cabin 43, and Zhang Yunfeng quickly entered the password.
Yikes! The airtight hatch slowly opened.
Huang Haojie's figure appeared in front of the two.
"Chairman, welcome to the new Kaohsiung space station, I am Zhang Yunfeng, the director of the new Kaohsiung space station base."
"Chairman, welcome to the new Kaohsiung space station, I am Liao Qingsong, the leader of the space operation team of the new Kaohsiung space station."
"Hello, thank you for your hard work." Huang Haojie shook hands with them one by one.
"It's our pleasure." Zhang Yunfeng said respectfully.
"Take me on a tour of the new Kaohsiung space station."
"Okay, chairman, please come with me."
While the three of them were floating forward, Zhang Yunfeng introduced Huang Haojie to the situation of the Kaohsiung space station.
"At present, the new Kaohsiung space station has a total of 66 cabins, with a total volume of 10,750 cubic meters and a total mass of 3,740 tons, and there is also a Xuanwu-class and a Qinglong-class moored in the space station."
Huang Haojie is still relatively familiar with these data, and he has been paying attention to the construction of the new Kaohsiung space station.
"Now there are 11 permanent personnel in the space station, including 6 management personnel and 5 scientific researchers.
"By the way, do you have the six shield generators installed?"
"It's already installed, and we've tested it, so the subspace station doesn't have to worry about being hit by space junk." Zhang Yunfeng said happily.
The installation of the shield generator made them feel more secure than ever, because they were in the space station all day long, afraid of being attacked by space junk or asteroids.
With the Shield Generator, they can rest easy unless they are hit by a massive asteroid, as long as the mass of the impactor does not exceed 10 tons and the relative speed is not too fast.
Now the Nandou system of the Galaxy Consortium and the Beidou system of the Eastern Tang Dynasty have closely monitored the orbit near this blue star.
Those massive space junk or asteroids have long been closely monitored, so the possibility of being hit by massive is very small.
Under the leadership of Zhang Yunfeng, Huang Haojie roughly walked around the new Kaohsiung space station, and he also greeted everyone on the space station by the way.
Coming to the general control module, he watched the demonstration of the shield generator, as a space station, the armed forces here are not strong, only a few laser jammers, six small tungsten rod projectors.
The Xinbazhong space station, which is at the same orbital altitude as the new Kaohsiung space station, is also installing shield generators at this time.
Their six shield generators are custom-built from Supernova Industries.
