Chapter 263 [Shock]
Under the command of Professor Xu, the lead leader, the staff operated the machine to lift a small but slender cylindrical object onto the test bench, which was the first experimental light guide engine, codenamed [GD-89.5S].
It's really very small, much smaller than the traditional main fighter engines, and much lighter.
The experimental light guide engine is 3.318 meters long and 0.817 meters wide, while the mass is only 793 kilograms.
Even among the fighter engines, it can be regarded as a small model.
Professor Xu and others looked at this light guide engine, all excited, this is what makes them excited, the engine is so small, but its thrust according to theoretical data, can be called terrifying, it can no longer be included in the aviation engine, but the category of space engine.
After a while, the staff immediately hoisted the light core, which only has about 2% of the energy storage, on the test bench, and it is worth mentioning that this 2% energy does not add any mass to the light core, even if it is full of energy storage 100% will not increase the mass.
Because photons do not have a rest mass, if there is a static mass, according to Einstein's theory of relativity, even an atom has an infinite mass at the speed of light.
This is the most magical place.
Another group of workers immediately connected it to the light guide engine, and then the test bench was slowly moved to a wind tunnel and secured, and the light guide engine's nozzle pointed to the wind tunnel.
If you look at the structure of the engine, you will see that it does not have air intakes, because the light guide engine is not a traditional aero engine, nor is it a space engine, it does not need air, nor does it need oxygen.
From a certain point of view, the light guide engine is a truly green, pure natural and pollution-free product.
"Academician Xu, the modules have been retrieved, and no faults have been found."
A staff member walked up to Professor Xu to report, and the latter was in high spirits and said decisively: "Let the irrelevant technicians leave the site quickly, pay attention to protective isolation, and conduct a thrust test in five minutes!" ”
Gu Cheng is in the building of the test center, but outside the isolation field, this is a low building, the thrust test is carried out indoors, one is that the light guide engine is small, and the other is secret, Tianqing Industrial Zone is the focus of Lao Mei's attention, and he is secretly observing in space orbit every day, and now there is nothing to do with Eagle Sauce, and when the Tianjian fighter comes out in the future, most of them will be much more honest.
At this time, Gu Cheng found a tablet to control, quickly operated on the screen for a while, and immediately shared the data display with the console.
Five minutes passed in a flash, and there were only four people scattered at the test bench site, all of whom were far away from the test bench, and everyone was wearing isolation suits with the effect of insulating clothing.
As the thrust test operator started the engine, as the light core "opened", there was a large amount of lightning surging and crackling on the surface of both the light guide engine and the light core, but it disappeared after a while.
This is not a fault, but an expected phenomenon, as long as the light core "opens" the photons to release the photons, at that moment, some of the photons are no longer on the total reflection trajectory of the closed-loop loop, and the photons hit the components of the light core and the photoion effect appears.
Slowly but in fact almost instantaneously, countless light quanta enter the light guide engine along the total reflection pathway, and countless photons in the cavity merge at singularities to produce a large number of new photon pairs and interact with each other......
The engine vent suddenly produced a dazzling blue-white pillar of light, and inside the wind tunnel, there was a crackling electric fire, which was mainly the end of the engine itself to produce photoelectric ions.
Not all light quanta undergo singular merging inside the cavity, in fact only 55.7% are exploited, and the remaining photons escape, in technical terms, radiating photons outward.
This means that there is still a lot of room for improvement in the light guide engine.
And these escape photons that are not used cannot let them run directly outside, you must know that if there are a large number of high-energy γ photons inside, it will threaten people's lives if they run out like this.
These unused photons have to be disposed of, that is, absorbed, converted into photoions, and then ejected.
That is, the photoelectric effect.
True sparks all the way with lightning.
Don't look at the fact that nearly half of the energy is converted into photoelectric ions and sprayed out, although the help for thrust is also there, it can almost be ignored.
At this time, the data monitor said: "The thrust has reached 25 tons!" ”
The members of the entire test bench site cheered and were excited, and the thrust data directly surpassed the world's strongest fighter engine, and the maximum thrust of the F135 engine of the United States was more than 20 tons.
Professor Xu excitedly said: "Continue to increase the output power to the theoretical peak, and maintain the test time for another 100 seconds!" ”
The operator is also holding back the excitement and operating cautiously.
"The thrust has reached 30 tons!"
"The thrust has reached 44 tons!"
"The thrust has reached 52 tons!"
……
The data was still rushing upwards rapidly, and the inside of the wind tunnel was illuminated, and sparks and lightning crackled.
These sparks and lightning look very violent, but the noise they produce is weaker than that of a conventional aero engine.
Moreover, this energy will not be wasted, and it will supply all the power systems for the future Sky Blade fighters, including the electromagnetic aviation cannon on it.
As the minutes ticked by, the data monitor saw that the engine was already at its maximum output, and the thrust was fluctuating slightly at a stable value, and he almost shouted excitedly:
"Thrust has peaked, 89.7 tonnes !!"
"Oh my God!" Professor Xu's voice was trembling, and the error with the theoretical thrust data of 89.5 tons was only 0.2 tons, which exceeded the theoretical value, and although the theoretical data and the real data were almost equal, the theory was a theory after all, and it was far less shocking than the most real data.
The thrust-to-weight ratio of the light guide engine has reached 113, which is ten times that of a conventional fighter engine, and 113 is a value that can only be found in the field of space engines.
But now this data has been created in a light guide engine that weighs far less than 1 ton.
What is this concept?
Only four light guide engines can propel the Boeing-777 with a maximum take-off weight of 351 tons, and the four light guide engines combined weigh only 3.172 tons.
"Enough, enough, enough." Professor Xu muttered to himself.
As the operator turned off the engine, more than 20 people in the audience either hugged each other to celebrate, or applauded excitedly, and three old academicians burst into tears on the spot, among which an old scientist from the 607 Institute was so difficult that he couldn't stand on his feet at this moment, but fortunately, there was a young man next to him, and he hurriedly supported him.
This scene also cooled down the excitement of the audience, and a group of people immediately surrounded it.
"I'm fine, I'm fine." The old scientist hurriedly said that he had participated in the development of the WS series engines and was a key figure.
The young man who supported him quickly handed him a chair for him to sit down.
"To be able to see the motivation of my country's independent research and development reach such a unique level in my lifetime, now, I can be blind even if I die."
As soon as Professor Xu heard what he said, he immediately feigned anger and said, "Hey, Lao Ding, what are you doing at such a festive moment? ”
That being said, Professor Xu's heart at the moment is not like this, the engine has always been the "heart disease" of domestic aircraft.
At this time, Gu Cheng also came, and the young people present had already admired him to the extreme, and the domestic aviation engine was able to reach such a unique level, and to some extent, it all depended on him.
"You're right, sometimes you do it first." Professor Xu suddenly said when he saw Gu Cheng coming over.
If there was prejudice against Gu Cheng's quick success and quick profit and worries about the "Heavenly Blade Project" before, then now even these old men don't doubt it, the truth is now, and facts speak louder than words.
As for the other young people, it is even more exaggerated, and it is simply the authority in their minds.
Especially when he saw that Gu Cheng seemed extremely calm and calm at the moment, he was even more admired.
At this moment, Gu Cheng wanted to say something inspiring, but he found that no matter what wording he used, it was difficult to compare to the shock and excitement of the numbers 89.7 and 113.
But as the initiator and general person in charge of the entire "Heavenly Blade Project", he has to say something at this moment.
After thinking about it, Gu Cheng looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Today is destined to be recorded in history, the two numbers 89.7 and 113 make us no longer just look up at the starry sky, we are about to go to deep space!" ”
