Chapter 229: Energy Engine
Teresa Roy is once again on Jurassic Island, and this time he brings several very important guests to Wenming.
"This is General Howard, this is Lewis from the CIA, this is ......"
In Teresa Roy's introduction, except for Howard and Lewis, everyone else is a technician, including a technician from the CIA's Department of Science and Technology, and a technician from the Pentagon.
Wen Ming noticed that when Teresa Roy introduced Lewis, she only said the name and the other party was from the CIA, but did not introduce the specific job title. However, being able to be introduced by Teresa Roy in second place, and after the generals from the Pentagon, Lewis's status in the CIA is definitely not low.
"Welcome, let's go to the institute first."
After Wen Ming and these guests were polite for a while, he led the group from the airport on Jurassic Island to the research institute. As for Wen Ming's politeness, whether it is General Howard from the Pentagon or Lewis from the CIA, they are also very polite.
At this time, it was time for Wen Ming to agree with the United States before, and he needed to share the energy jet power system technology he obtained from the angel wings with the U.S. government without reservation.
Normally, this kind of technology sharing does not require Wen Ming to come forward, nor does it require important figures from the Pentagon and the CIA to come forward, but only needs to let the subordinates of both sides carry out the technical handover.
However, based on Wen Ming's current wealth and social status, both parties hope to further deepen the relationship so that at some point they can have a proper exchange of interests, which is a network. Whether it is Howard, who has become a general, or Lewis of the CIA, their thirst for connections is not much lower than that of Wen Ming.
After introducing the planning of Jurassic Island along the way, the group arrived at the research institute, which had already been cleared. Except for some people who had to be present, the researchers of the other projects have temporarily left the institute, and the construction team that has been working on the institute has also left.
This kind of transaction is not humane, and neither party wants many people to know about it.
After entering the laboratory of the institute dedicated to the study of angel wing technology, Howard and the others saw the angel wings placed in the center of the laboratory. It was also the first time they had seen this kind of sci-fi equipment with their own eyes, and the angel wings they had seen before were all pictures or video materials.
Even Teresa Roy, who has a very good relationship with Wen Ming, saw the real thing of the angel wings for the first time, because the only complete angel wings in the world are in Wen Ming's hands.
After the technician explained the function of the angel wings, Wen Ming took over and said: "The angel wings are actually not the most suitable individual flight equipment for human beings, because he has very high requirements for the user's operation, and because of the design problems of the angel wings, the energy consumption of this equipment is very large, and the problem of energy consumption cannot be solved for a long time in terms of the energy technology currently mastered in the world. ”
Wen Ming continued, "But the most amazing design of Angel Wings is its breakthrough in energy propulsion. As we all know, the first dream of human beings to fly was fulfilled by the propeller, and after the propeller, the jet engine became the absolute power source to solve the flight problem. ”
"But since the advent of jet engines, the planes we've built have evolved very well in terms of speed and range, but the fundamental power source has never changed. Whether it is a fourth-generation fighter or a fifth-generation fighter, it can actually be called a jet fighter. ”
"But Angel Wings changed that, because the engine it uses is not a jet engine, but an energy engine."
The angel wings in the center of the lab were no longer the focus of attention, and everyone's eyes shifted with the technician's movements, a palm-sized contraption with a cylindrical tail.
Wen Ming took the device that the technician brought over, and then continued to introduce: "The principle of the jet engine to propel the aircraft to fly is that air and kerosene are burned in the combustion chamber, and then a large amount of high-temperature and high-pressure gas is injected backwards, which forms a reaction force with the external air to propel the aircraft forward. ”
"The point here is how much difference there is between the temperature and pressure of the gas produced by the jet engine and the air outside. We can simply understand that the greater the gap, the more propulsion the jet engine can produce. ”
Wen Ming pressed a button of the device in his hand, and at the tail of the palm-sized device, a golden-red pillar of light erupted from that cylindrical position. It was a bit wrong to say that it was a pillar of light, because the golden-red flames of light emitted from the device looked very illusory and fluid, and had disappeared a few centimeters into the exit.
Howard and his party, who were standing opposite Wen Ming, felt the temperature brought by the light flame when Wen Ming completed this action.
Wen Ming introduced: "This is an energy engine for display that we have made, except that it cannot provide powerful propulsion ability, it is exactly the same as the energy engine used by Angel Wings in other aspects. ”
"These flames are the energy emitted by the energy engine, and compared to the gas at high temperature and pressure, this energy is much higher in terms of temperature and pressure. Based on our analytical simulations, we believe that the energy engine can provide 1.2 times more power than the most advanced jet engines at the same volume and without any problems with the energy supply. ”
This conclusion did not surprise the group of guests, how could they have gone to such great lengths to get here without the lifting effect?
A Pentagon technician brought in by Howard asked, "What I want to know is, do you have a way to solve the problem of energy supply?" ”
After Howard and Lewis heard this question, they also looked at Wen Ming with great anticipation, because the most critical problem of the energy engine now is not whether to create energy for injection to generate power, but how to minimize the power of the energy engine.
Otherwise, even if this energy engine is amplified and then installed on a fighter jet, it will not be of much use. You can only fly for half an hour, even if the speed is increased by 1.2 times?
Moreover, the power has increased by 1.2 times, which does not mean that the speed has also increased by 1.2 times, and it also depends on the design of the model.
Of course, if the speed is increased by more than 1.2 times, then, even if it can only fly for half an hour, the current Jurassic Research Institute has been seized by the US government. Even, Wen Ming couldn't get the angel wings at all.
Wen Ming looked at everyone's expectant eyes, and really wanted to say that he had solved this problem, but if he said it, he wouldn't be able to protect everything for him.
So, he spread his hands and said, "I'm sorry, we're still working on this issue. However, I believe that in the near future, we will be able to reduce the high demand for energy supply from energy engines, and then allow energy engines to completely replace jet engines. ”
If it weren't for Wen Ming being the richest man in the world now, and would raise the value of the world's richest man to the level of 100 billion US dollars, Howard and Lewis would definitely throw their faces and leave.
In the near future?
What does not come in the future will always be in the future.
