Chapter 388: Everything is ready
"Lord Tang Jie, the latest experimental data has come out, please take a look." A researcher told Tang Jie via video call.
Tang Jie opened the latest experimental data and took a look, after more than a dozen experiments and improvements, it is now called a winged flying machine, and the data has become closer and closer to the design requirements.
Judging from various performance data, both speed and flexibility have met the requirements, but battery life is a problem, and the data has never been greatly improved.
For this problem, Tang Jie and the researchers held several meetings, and at first everyone thought that it was a problem with the reactor and engine, but the experimental data proved that most of the time the aircraft could meet the requirements.
This shows that there is no problem with the reactor and the engine, the problem lies in other links. The person in charge of the data compared all the experimental data with the theoretical data, and finally found that the problem of endurance was actually in the initial acceleration.
Because the aircraft needs a lot of energy to increase the speed of the engine quickly during the initial acceleration, in this process, the energy consumption is extremely large, which will affect the final endurance time.
Solving this problem is not easy and requires a complete redesign of the reactor, which may take several years to achieve.
The current situation certainly does not allow for a few years, so the problem can only be solved elsewhere.
Liu Yi came to Tang Jie every once in a while to ask how far the development of the aircraft had progressed, it had been almost two years since the implementation of the Imperial Capital Plan, and the other links had been ready, and now they were stuck on the issue of the aircraft.
Tang Jie felt a lot of pressure, because of the problems in her department, the entire strategic plan was delayed, I am afraid that others will say a lot of gossip behind her back, especially considering the relationship between her and Liu Yi, I am afraid that these gossip will be very harsh.
Although Liu Yi has been comforting Tang Jie not to put too much pressure on himself, Tang Jie knows that it is impossible for Liu Yi not to be anxious, now that the Colony and Anlian are surrounded by enemies, all kinds of border intrusions are always difficult to solve, and Liu Yi's pressure is also very huge.
"What to do? What should I do......" Tang Jie looked at his design data, feeling that his thinking had reached the limit, and he really couldn't think of a better solution.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the office door, and Tang Jie said weakly, "Come in." ”
As soon as the door rang, the person who came in turned out to be Liu Yi, which immediately surprised Tang Jie.
"Why are you here?" Tang Jie asked in surprise.
Liu Yi smiled: "Why can't I come?" I happened to have time today, passing by the vicinity of the research institute, so I stopped by to see you. ”
Tang Jie said with a sad face: "It's not the right time for you to come, there is still a problem with the wings, and I am trying to find a way to solve it." ”
Liu Yi saw that Tang Jie was unkempt, and even dark circles appeared under his eyes, and asked with great concern: "Your spirit seems to be very tired, didn't I say it, don't put too much pressure on yourself, just take it slowly." ”
Tang Jie got up and poured Liu Yi a glass of water, and said slowly: "What you said is simple, now the plan is stuck with me, can I have no pressure?" Besides, even if I'm not stressed, aren't you stressed? ”
"I'm fine, although the pressure is there, but it's not enough to crush me." Liu Yi replied calmly.
"I can't, I can't sleep well when I think about the problem not being solved."
Liu Yi asked, "What exactly is the problem?" Say it and I'll help you think about it. ”
"Alas...... It's a problem of battery life, I've experimented so many times, but I still can't reach the ideal data. Tang Jie sighed.
Then Tang Jie told Liu Yi about the specific problem, and Liu Yi didn't know much about this aspect, so he said: "In this way, tomorrow I will convene a meeting and call people from all departments to come, and everyone will study and study together, there will always be a way if there are many people." ”
Tang Jie was not optimistic, after all, other people did not study these, even if they sat together for a meeting, it would probably be useless.
However, since Liu Yi said so, Tang Jie didn't intend to object, at least hold a meeting to let other departments know the difficulties of this matter.
"Okay, let's go then." Tang Jie nodded.
The meeting on the second day was indeed as Tang Jie expected, and most of the people could not put forward any constructive opinions on this issue, and basically they were just official.
Tang Jie quickly lost interest in the meeting, and his eyes were half-closed, if it weren't for Liu Yi's face, maybe Tang Jie would have slipped away a long time ago.
Seeing that the heads of various departments finished their official speeches, Liu Yi was also a little disappointed, and planned to announce the end of the meeting to end this boring meeting.
At this time, the old man in a corner suddenly said: "I'm afraid it will take several years to solve this problem once and for all, but if it is just for a mission, I think it will be easy to solve." ”
Liu Yi followed the voice and looked over, and saw that it was a person he didn't know, so he lowered his voice and asked He Yan next to him: "Who is that person?" ”
He Yan was in charge of administrative management, and she had an impression of the main personnel of each department, so she heard He Yan reply: "That's the old engineer of the aviation management department - Chen Jiasheng." ”
Liu Yi nodded, and then said to Chen Jiasheng: "Engineer Chen, you said that the problem is easy to solve, can you talk about it specifically?" ”
Chen Jiasheng stood up and said: "Actually, this question is very simple, the method that human beings used when they first explored space is a booster. ”
"Booster!" When Tang Jie heard this word, his eyes suddenly opened, as if he had been woken up by someone.
"Boosters?" Liu Yi asked, "Do you mean adding a booster to the aircraft?" ”
"That's right, the problem now is that the energy consumption generated by the reactor during the acceleration process is too large, resulting in insufficient endurance, as long as the task of acceleration is handed over to the booster, won't this solve the problem? I really don't understand why it took so long to call so many people to the meeting. Chen Jiasheng shrugged his shoulders as he spoke.
Liu Yi turned his head to look at Tang Jie, only to see Tang Jie stand up abruptly and say loudly: "That's right!" How come I didn't think of this way! ”
"How do I know?" Chen Jiasheng spread his hands and said.
Three months later, the tests of the new aircraft were officially completed, and every key statistic, including speed and endurance, was met.
On the experimental ship, a researcher looked at the data that had just been returned and said excitedly: "The 19th test...... All Indices ...... All of them have reached A level or higher! ”
"Great!" The people on board let out loud cheers at the same time.
I saw everyone applauding warmly and hugging everyone around them, at this time they could not describe the excitement and happiness in their hearts in words, they could only express it with a tight hug.
The new flying machine was eventually named: Flying Wing, and Liu Yi immediately ordered the factory to produce it in the shortest possible time, and then began to equip the troops.
Taking advantage of this time, the strategic group led by Liu Yi began to study specific tactics, and in fact, it was the staff department in the army that really formulated the tactical plan.
After the final plan was finalized, Feng Kailong, commander-in-chief of the fleet, was responsible for explaining it at the meeting of the strategic group, and if the plan was approved, the next step would be the specific implementation stage.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have discussed it many times with the people in the General Staff, and finally formed this plan, which I will explain in detail below." Feng Kailong spoke as if he was teaching a student.
Liu Yi and the others looked at the projection intently, their hearts were full of anticipation, especially Liu Yi, it had been two and a half years since the start of the Imperial Capital Project, and he couldn't wait to complete this unprecedented feat.
"Everyone, please see, our plan is like this, first the fleet reaches the periphery of the Unicorn system, the other side will definitely find our fleet, and then the main focus is on the fleet. But it's a good thing for us, it can attract the attention of the enemy, so that our special mech unit can sneak into action......"
"General Feng, where are you going to let the mecha troops infiltrate the galaxy?" Liu Yi asked.
Feng Kailong replied: "We intend to enter from this place, the defense here is relatively weak, a large number of asteroids and comets are natural barriers, large fleets cannot pass through, but it is easy for mechs. As he spoke, Feng Kailong enlarged the defense distribution map of the imperial capital in front of everyone.
"How long does it take for a mech unit to fly to reach its target position?"
"According to estimates, it will take about 40 hours or more."
"Flying for so long?" Quite a few people exclaimed.
Feng Kailong nodded and said: "This is already very fast, comparing mecha and flying wing aircraft are not battleships, being able to reach such a speed is already the result of using all your strength to do it." ”
Liu Yi asked Shangguan Qi: "Is there really no problem with flying in the mecha for so long?" Can the driver stand it? ”
Shangguan Qi said expressionlessly: "If you can't stand it, you have to bear it, and the soldiers should overcome the difficulties, instead of bowing to them!" ”
"Very good, if there is any need, please just talk to me, and I will find a way to solve it." Liu Yi said.
Shangguanzaki said: "I have an idea, I don't know if it can be realized?" ”
"What thoughts?"
"I'd like to be able to add weapons to the wings, preferably more powerful ones." Shangguanqi said.
Tang Jie replied: "This can be considered, I think it shouldn't be a big problem, maybe it can be equipped with a laser cannon with relatively high power." ”
"That's great!" Shangguanqi said happily.
"Alright, let's move on." Feng Kailong said: "After the mecha unit infiltrates, it will go around to the vicinity of the space station with a mirror reflector, and then launch an attack to occupy it, and if it cannot be occupied, it will simply destroy it...... As long as these specular reflectors are controlled, and then we adjust the direction, if the opponent fires the Houyi cannon, we can use it to remove all kinds of 'roadblocks'! ”
