Chapter 69: Plasma Thruster III

Zhu Lei took the drawings to the weapons test site, and when he arrived at the weapons test site, the plasma engine had been arranged on a shore artillery position left over from the war, and was now preparing to start the test. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

He walked quickly in their direction, and when he walked to the side, he saw that the workers were fixing the plasma engine, and he saw that he was fine, so he said to the butler next to him: "Butler! This is what I asked Lao Li to come, the construction drawings of the ground test platform, I will hand it over to you now, you arrange it as soon as possible, and turn it into a reality as soon as possible, and we will use it a lot in the future. As he spoke, he handed the drawing in his hand to the butler.

"Okay, young master, I will arrange it as soon as possible and build this ground interview platform as soon as possible!" The butler took the drawing in his hand and said.

The workers quickly fixed the engine, and after the engine was fixed, they began the final inspection of the engine before the long-lasting test.

Since there is no electrical equipment that can provide the engine from the weapons test site, and there is no high-voltage line, they can only use gold essence batteries as the energy source for the engine.

For the durability test of the engine, they prepared half a ton of gold essence battery as the energy source of the ion engine, you must know that the power storage capacity of one kilogram of gold essence battery has reached 500,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity, and the power stored in half a ton of gold essence battery has 100 million kilowatt-hours of electricity, so much electricity has been exported for testing.

The various testing equipment to be used in the test can only be moved out of the laboratory first, after all, the test platform of the ion engine has not yet been built. So that's the way it goes.

After a while, the staff finished checking the engine, and the various test equipment was also debugged, and when he gave the order, the long-lasting test began.

"Persistent testing begins, right?" With his order, the protracted test began, and Zhu Lei also stood quietly to the side and watched them busy.

Hearing his order, the employee who had been standing next to the switch pressed the power-on button of the engine, with the input of electricity, the engine gradually began to run, and the sound gradually became louder, the sound of the engine was not very good when I heard it in the laboratory before, but this will be to the weapons test site, I feel that the sound of the engine is completely different from before, although the sound of the engine is not very loud, but the sound is very crisp and thorough, and the screaming sound of the engine can be heard from several kilometers away.

In the past, when I was in the laboratory, the sound was very dull due to the limited space, but here, because of the vast space, the sound is completely different.

After the engine began to work, the staff on the side carefully recorded various data of the engine.

Since none of the people present had ever been exposed to the plasma engine test, they had to test the traditional chemical engine in the same way, but omitted many steps that the plasma engine did not have, such as oxygen start-up and fuel addition.

Since this engine, is the first time that it has been tested, it has been tested for a long time. So this test will last for twelve hours, and by this time tomorrow, this test will be stopped, and then after it stops, the engine will be taken apart to observe the degree of wear and tear of the aura in the engine.

With the passage of time, the increase of power output, the speed of the engine is getting faster and faster, and the sound of the engine is getting smaller and smaller, but the sound is more and more thorough, to the end of the control of the power switch of the public staff, the power output to the maximum, and the engine has also entered the maximum power output state, this is a real test, the maximum power output state of the engine, for any engine, is a very huge test, and for the plasma engine, it is similar.

Because Zhu Lei wanted to test all the data of this engine in a short time, he came up with the most stupid method, that is, the whole test is in the state of maximum power output, but fortunately, because their engine is a plasma thruster, and the materials used in this engine are also high-strength new materials, so it is the maximum power output state, for plasma engines, the output of the engine is also very stable.

As time slowly passed, the staff was still carefully recording the working status and data of the engine, and she saw that all the laboratory employees present looked relaxed, obviously very confident, after all, this is not a traditional chemical reaction engine, you must know that the general plasma engine is used in the engine of the spacecraft, and the voyage time required for a spaceship to fly often takes at least a few months. Many even have to sail for several years, or decades, so this plasma thruster, to maintain the maximum output power state for twelve hours, should be very easy in theory, and the employees present are all employees in the laboratory, they are all involved in the design and manufacture of this engine, so they are very confident in their products, not to mention twelve hours, even if it is the maximum output power state of twelve months, they are also very confident that this plasma engine will not have accidents.

Of course, if this thruster is a traditional jet engine, then all the people present are uncertain, because the shortcomings of the traditional jet engine, they are very clear, not to mention twelve hours, even if it is twelve minutes, or twelve seconds, accidents may occur, but the plasma engine is different. The maximum power output state of twelve hours, for a plasma engine alone, is a drizzle.

Zhu Lei stood aside and watched the staff, carefully recording the status of the engine, and they needed to record the data of the engine for twelve hours without interruption.

After looking at it for a while, he turned his head and said to Zhu Ziyan, the housekeeper beside him, "Butler! Now that the engine has been put into normal long-term testing, I stay here and there is not much going on, so I will go back to the factory and come back tomorrow this time, and if you need anything, or if there is any problem in between, you will call me. ā€

"Okay, young master, then you go slowly!"

After the housekeeper finished speaking, Zhu Lei turned around and walked towards the gate of the weapons test site.

He walked out of the gate of the weapons test site, got into the car, and drove a long way out, and he could clearly hear the screeching of the plasma engine.

When Zhu Lei returned to the factory, it was already afternoon, half past five, and the workers in the factory had already gotten off work, so he also went to the office to tidy up his things and prepare to go home, after all, his sister and Zhang Rou were still waiting at home.
