Chapter 226: Rhapsody

In addition, he also made subversive changes to the shape of the airship.

The modified airship is similar in shape to a lifebuoy.

The inner diameter he entered was 210 meters, and the entire airship platform was exactly the same as a large lifebuoy.

In order to balance and translate, the control compartment of the airship is three, presenting an equilateral triangular arrangement.

"Zhong, use supercomputing to calculate, if you want to increase the effective load to about fifty tons, how big an airbag will be needed."

[Required...... ]

Huang Haojie touched his chin and looked at the preliminary design plan that had almost been completed.

Sniff!

"Come in!"

"Hello boss!" The three high-altitude airship researchers hurriedly greeted.

"You're welcome, you can help me take a look at this design."

The three of them thought about the lifebuoy-shaped airship, discussing or calculating parameters from time to time.

"Boss, what are you going to use this airship for?"

"Fixed at the top of the stratosphere or at the bottom of the middle layer in an area, then it needs to carry at least 50 tons." Huang Haojie explained.

"In this case, it is better to increase the volume of the airbag by about 30%, otherwise the weight may not meet your requirements."

Huang Haojie modified the parameters and increased the volume of the airbag of the ring-shaped airship by 30%.

Another researcher reminded: "If this ring-shaped airship wants to stay at the bottom of the middle layer, the structural strength must be considered, after all, there is strong convective weather in the middle layer, and the ...... can be added to this position."

The mesosphere has a strong vertical motion because the air temperature in the mesosphere drops rapidly with the increase of altitude, and the upper part of the atmosphere is cold and the lower part is warm, resulting in convective movement of the air.

In addition, the ozone layer that we often mention is in the middle of the stratosphere, and as for why the ozone content of the mesosphere is not high, it is because the formation of ozone in the atmosphere is mainly formed by the combination of oxygen molecules and oxygen atoms under the action of solar radiation.

In the upper layers of the atmosphere, the intensity of solar radiation is very high, so that the oxygen molecules dissociate too much, so the chance of oxygen molecules and oxygen atoms meeting to form O3 is very small, even if ozone is formed, due to the absorption of solar radiation, it promotes the decomposition of O3 itself, so the ozone content of the upper atmosphere is not much.

Huang Haojie and three researchers discussed and perfected the design of the ring-shaped airship.

Three days later.

The design and mock-up of a ring-shaped airship floats silently in the middle of the office.

Huang Haojie stood up and stretched, and beat a few more times, a little sore, to his shoulder.

"Thank you for your hard work, the preliminary design has been completed, and your next task is to make a ship for experimental testing to see if it needs to be modified."

"It's not hard, the boss is polite."

"It's all part of the business."

"We will arrange for the production of a prototype airship as soon as possible."

Huang Haojie nodded with them: "Then I'll leave it to you." ”

……

After completing the research and design of the ring-shaped airship, he returned to his secret research institute.

"Zhong, bring up the experiment log of the Electromagnetic Catapult Research Institute."

[Okay, master!] ]

Institute of Electromagnetic Catapult.

Academician Ma, who previously cooperated with Huang Haojie in the development of electromagnetic catapults, is also here.

However, because the electromagnetic ejection of Galaxy Technology is relatively special, it is a typical large-scale experiment, and there is a certain degree of danger, so this laboratory is not set up in Shanmei, but is set up near Caiyu Dao off the coast of Shanmei.

Huang Haojie looked at the experimental log of the Electromagnetic Catapult Research Institute.

The reason why he cares about this is because the research project of the Institute of Electromagnetic Catapult is a large mass projector, and the large mass projector is an advanced version of the electromagnetic catapult.

A mass projector, in simple terms, is a large electromagnetic cannon that shoots rockets or capsules into space.

Anyone who has seen Gundam SEED knows that the cost of carrying this technology is greatly reduced, but it also has its own huge drawbacks.

Scientists envision electromagnetic projectors that would often be built under high mountains, such as the Himalayas or Kilimanjaro.

I heard that the Ministry of Railways of my rabbit once conceived a plan to hollow out the Himalayas and place a super electromagnetic catapult track, because the total capital demand is as high as 4,000 billion Chinese yuan, so the result is as you know.

The reason why the mass projector is placed under the high mountains is mainly due to two benefits

First, the electromagnetic acceleration orbit should be super long, and the final velocity should preferably be vertically upward, or one more component along the direction of the Earth's rotation.

The mountains, of course, are the best carriers, after all, it is very technically difficult to build an orbit with a vertical length of several kilometers.

Second, the top of the mountain range is usually already located in a thin place of air at high altitudes, which can greatly reduce friction.

A mass projector usually consists of a giant electromagnetic guide (or possibly a coil), a vacuum pipe, and a power supply system.

And any of these three have huge engineering difficulties, and the electromagnetic guide rail or coil is preferably composed of superconductors, which have huge superconductor requirements and corresponding low temperature requirements.

Unless they have Galaxy Technology's room temperature superconductor technology, it can make people crazy just by solving the problem of ultra-low temperature superconductivity.

Secondly, the engineering difficulty of the vertical several kilometers of vacuum super pipelines also exists, using the general scientist assumption to rely on the structural support of high mountains.

However, this problem is also not a problem for Galaxy Technology, because Huang Haojie does not plan to build a vacuum pipeline in the mountains, but uses a ring-shaped airship to form a high-strength, elastic and high-magnetic membrane cable, thus forming a vertical vacuum pipeline up to 60 kilometers long.

And there are many advantages to doing this, it can quickly create a vacuum state, and it can be restored when not in use, and there is no need to have a headache in maintaining the vacuum state.

And the last point of difficulty of the mass projector, that is, the power supply problem, which is the core problem.

Because the mass projector needs to release a huge amount of electrical energy in an instant, it is impossible to build a power station with the same power for the mass projector, and can only rely on a large capacitor to store electric energy, and the power release speed, power capacity, and safety of this capacitor are huge problems.

Similarly, Galaxy Technology's Thor modified battery can achieve the effect of supercapacitors.

In this way, for Galaxy Technology, the three major problems of the mass projector are not a problem

According to Huang Haojie's preliminary design, the exit of the mass catapult will be at an altitude of 60 kilometers, and the middle layer, although the air is thin, but the huge frictional heat is still to be considered.

However, this problem is temporary, because the second stage of Huang Haojie's plan can completely solve this problem.

The second stage is at 100 kilometers in low-earth orbit, which is the Kármán line, the dividing line of aerospace, where Galaxy Technology plans to build a low-earth orbit space station, and then use high-strength, elastic and strong magnetic repulsion membrane cables to connect with the ring-shaped airship in the middle layer.

By the time we get to the Kármán line, the air is so thin that it has little effect on aircraft or space capsules.

Of course, the mass projector also has a strong acceleration – most likely more than 10 g, which makes it very likely that it will not be able to carry people.

In addition, the electromagnetic effects it can produce may cause the destruction of the delicate electronics inside.

In addition, the fixed diameter of the electromagnetic track is almost impossible to change, which means that small loads may be able to be supported, but loads beyond the diameter will not be emitted.

However, its low price still makes the mass projector the best solution for delivering loads such as raw materials.
