Chapter 68: Plasma Thruster II
Zhu Lei's engine test was not made public, after all, this ion engine is only the first ion engine produced by Zhu Lei, and it is only a trial product, which is still very immature, if it is to be made public, at least he will not consider it until it is fully mature.

"Let's start testing~!" When he came back to his senses, Zhu Lei saw that everyone was looking at him, and he knew that everyone was waiting for him to speak before starting the test! After all, he is the owner of this factory.
With the opening of the power control switch, the engine is slowly started under the action of electricity, and the engine is slowly accelerated from slow to slow as the power output continues to strengthen, and the temperature of the engine is slowly increased, all because the materials used in the engine are top materials, so the heat is not felt on the engine shell at all.
And the place of the engine's nozzle has now been obviously blown out by a strong hot wind, Zhu Lei knows that this is due to the ionic wind generated by the super electric beauty, as the power output becomes stronger and stronger, the air flow sprayed out by the tail is getting stronger and stronger, and finally the air flow sprayed out by the tail begins to slowly turn into a leisurely blue air flow, and Zhu Lei They can also clearly feel the heat.
Finally, when the power output reached the maximum that could be controlled so far, the engine was running at a stable speed and the final data of the engine came out.
The final thrust-to-weight ratio of this engine was fifty-one, but at its maximum propulsion, the engine and its power consumption, a standard one-kilogram gold essence battery could only provide the engine with less than thirty minutes of running time.
When the engine is working, the temperature of the engine is not as high as imagined, and when the engine is working at full power, the maximum temperature of the core of the engine is less than 2,000 degrees, and the average temperature of the tail flame is only about 3,000 degrees.
As soon as the results of the test came out, Li Feng and they began to celebrate each other, after all, this is the result of everyone's efforts in the past two months, although everyone has a lot of confidence in the engine they designed, everyone is always nervous before the test.
Now as soon as the test results came out, everyone's hearts were put down, and the test results were also very ideal, it can be said that if this thruster can go smoothly in the next long-term test, then this engine can be finalized as the first aero engine in Zhu Lei's factory.
Although there is still a lot of room for improvement in this engine, it is enough for Zhu Lei to produce the first engine in their factory in the future, you must know that before this engine came out, the aero engine with the highest thrust-to-weight ratio in the world could not reach twenty, and this engine has now reached fifty.
So for this engine Zhu Lei he is already very content, and the next thing is the long-lasting test of the engine, this test can no longer be carried out in the laboratory, after all, the laboratory only has such a little space.
Since this engine has been successful, Lao Li and the others will design and manufacture the second engine next, and this engine also needs the housekeeper to arrange for Mr. Zhang and them to build a few more. After all, when does it take for an engine to be tested before it can be tested, so it is absolutely necessary to build a few more.
Next, Zhu Lei is going to put all these engines in the weapons test field, after all, it is definitely not a good way to test these engines in the factory.
And now that the results of the preliminary tests have come out, the engine has not been kept secret from the workers in the factory.
And Zhu Lei believes that after the last incident, all the employees in the factory will definitely not leak the information in the factory again, after all, the ability of Daming's Jinyiwei is well known.
Even if this news is leaked, he won't care, because he is confident that other places in the world will definitely not be able to produce it except for their factory, first of all, the material is a huge problem, and secondly, the processing of the core materials of this plasma thruster, you must know that in order to ensure the quality of this plasma thruster, all the core materials in it are made of those super strong materials in the factory, and the hardness of the materials used in these core components is more than that of diamonds.
And these parts are all ultra-complex parts, and they can't be processed at all if they don't have the same machine tools and equipment as Zhu Lei and their factory.
Finally, there is the problem of energy, which is also the biggest problem, without reliable energy, even if they make such a thruster, it will be useless at all, and it will not be used at all.
After the battery ran out of power, Zhu Lei instructed the housekeeper and several laboratory staff to transport the engine to the weapons test site first.
He himself stayed in the laboratory, because he still had something to say to Li Jian, this is a ground test platform for testing plasma engines, and under the current conditions, Zhu Lei is not able to build a college entrance examination test platform, so he can only build a ground test platform first.
However, because Zhu Lei's aero engines in the future of their factory are all based on plasma propulsion technology, they can only build their own ground test platform.
Although the test methods of traditional aero engines in major countries are very mature, there are basically no test methods for plasma thrusters.
"Lao Li, do you have any suggestions about the ground test platform for plasma engines, after all, we have never built in Daming in this regard, and you are professional in this area, so I will ask you.
After all, now that our first plasma thruster has been successful, it is foreseeable that in the future, we will definitely not have only such a plasma engine, and there will definitely be more engines to be tested in the future, so it is very necessary to build a professional test platform, what do you think, Lao Li? After the housekeeper left, Zhu Lei said to Li Jian.
"Hmmm! Master! It is very necessary to build a professional test platform, and I have done some design in this regard, and I will give you the information later, and then you can ask the workers to construct according to my design drawings.
I thought I might not need these things in my life! I didn't expect to use it so quickly.,I brought these when I came over.,I didn't want to bring it over.,Later, somehow, when I was sorting things out, I unknowingly brought these materials.ć It's just ready to use now. With that, he turned around and walked towards his office, and in a few moments he walked out with the stack of materials and design drawings.
"Young master, give!" This is the ground test platform I designed, and I have not yet taken the drawings of the high-altitude test platform, and the design has not been completed. With that, Li Jian handed over the design drawings to Zhu Lei.
"Okay! Anyway, it is still too early to build a high-altitude test platform, and it is not suitable to build a high-altitude test platform in this place, so let's build a ground test platform first! As for the high-altitude test and wind tunnel, I will go to the international test center to test. Saying that, he took the construction materials in Li Jian's hand, and then after talking to him, he turned around and left the laboratory.
