Chapter 240: Large Variable Cycle Engine Device

"All systems are working successfully! Everything works! ”

Looking at the data on the computer, the chief engineer shouted excitedly in the communication equipment.

"Ready to ramp up the power and start testing the thrust data of the force field drive."

Wei Minqiang gave an order with a calm expression.

"Yes!"

The chief engineer replied excitedly and loudly, and quickly arranged for personnel to act.

Soon, under the control of artificial intelligence, in the test field, a large robotic arm, holding a wide giant iron ingot, was slowly placed on top of the force field driving device.

This giant iron ingot is very heavy just to look at.

And such a huge weight and length directly cover the entire force field drive.

Even the white light emitted by the hollow inner ring was completely obscured.

"The upshift system has been activated and the power is being increased!"

With the preparation complete, the engineers began to accelerate the force field drive.

For a moment, a huge electric current rushed wildly in the force field drive.

Razers swim away, arcs flashing.

The terrifying repulsion continued to accumulate in the inner ring, and the white light skyrocketed wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and continued to pound the giant iron ingots pressed on it.

Under this powerful force, the huge iron ingots weighing tons began to shake, like a volcano buried deep in the ground, ready to erupt at any moment.

"The thrust data is out, and now there are two thousand N (25 tons)!"

Looking at the data on the computer, the chief engineer said excitedly.

"It's incredible that a straight force field drive device can have such a large levitation force."

"yes, that's all on par with the data from the first version of the particle thruster."

"And that's not the final data, so I guess it's going to be higher."

Hearing this good news, everyone couldn't help but sigh.

In the discussion of everyone, the power of the force field drive device is still increasing.

At this point, the white light in the inner ring was strong enough to break through the oppression of the giant iron ingots and escape from the gaps around it.

And the originally heavy giant iron ingots were rising and falling on the white light, constantly shaking, like a volcano about to erupt.

"Running at full power!"

Looking at this scene, Wei Minqiang said without hesitation.

The voice fell.

The chief engineer stared at the data on the computer with a feverish gaze, and directly turned on the power of the force field drive device to the maximum!

The next second.

The white light in the inner ring surged violently, and an incomparable repulsion gushed out, like a volcanic eruption, directly breaking through the oppression of the giant iron ingot, levitating it in midair.

Meanwhile.

The thrust data curve on the computer has finally reached a critical point and has completely stabilized.

"What's the data now?"

Lin Yu asked.

Eighty thousand Ox! ”

The Chief Engineer looked at the final data, his voice a little hoarse and excited.

Lin Yu nodded, not too surprised.

This data was expected by him.

After all, it is the key technology of the second-generation mecha, and if the data is too low, how can a behemoth of more than 600 meters like the second-generation mecha be sent to the sky.

What's more, the current force field drive is only the first experimental version.

When it is upgraded and thoroughly improved, the thrust data should be improved by another 10%-15%

"It seems that the force field drive has succeeded."

Looking at the giant iron ingot that was steadily suspended in mid-air, a smile appeared on Wei Minqiang's old face.

"Hmm."

Lin Yu replied lightly and pointed out the current situation: "The current force field drive device is not perfect, and the follow-up durability and stability are probably still needed by Wei Lao, you will continue to test." ”

"Of course, we will improve the force field drive as soon as possible and make it successfully roll off the assembly line."

Wei Minqiang waved his hand and said as a matter of course.

Seeing this, Lin Yu also smiled slightly and didn't say much.

Although the force field drive was successful, but

Yes, it needs to be tested in other detail.

So, the crowd left Area 1.

Under the leadership of Wei Minqiang, Lin Yu and others came to the No. 2 area.

The test site in Area 2 also has a large experimental platform.

And on the experimental platform, there is a large variable-cycle engine unit with a length of one meter.

This large-scale variable-cycle engine device, in fact, to put it bluntly, is a combination of multiple engines to form a brand-new, large-scale variable-cycle engine.

For example, the variable-cycle engine of the Xuannu Aerospace Fighter is separated from this large-scale variable-cycle engine device.

However, this large variable cycle control device has two modes.

The first mode is combined power, which is one of the power sources of the second-generation mecha.

The basic principle is to start the turbojet engine, scramjet engine, and rocket engine in stages.

For example, in a low-altitude environment, a turbine engine is used to reach 4-5 times the speed of sound, and then a scramjet engine is started to reach more than 10 times the speed of sound.

At such ultra-high speeds, the altitude may reach 50~60 kilometers at this time.

At this time, the oxygen in the atmosphere can no longer provide the engine with an oxidizing agent.

So, only the last stage of the rocket engine can be started.

In this way, it can successfully enter low-earth orbit and free the second-generation mecha from the shackles of the earth's gravity.

The second mode uses a new pulse detonation engine and the main body of the force field drive, the adjustable meson circulation generator, to form the power.

This pulse-detonation engine can start at zero speed and then accelerate all the way to hypersonic speed, to low-earth orbit, and into space.

The adjustable median circulation generator can control the direction unconstrained in the force field area of the object, and finally generate the driving force.

The Xuannu Aerospace Fighter uses the second mode.

"Old Wei, the system data of this large-scale variable cycle engine device should be as successful as the force field drive device, right?"

Looking at the huge large engine in front of him, Lin Yu couldn't help but ask.

"That's right, the experimental data shows that it can be successful."

Wei Minqiang said very straightforwardly.

"Okay, that's fine, let's start testing."

Lin Yu said with a smile, didn't bother to ask again, and walked directly towards the general control room.

In this regard, everyone also followed with a smile on their faces.

No way.

Since Lin Yu said so, it should be successful.

After all, he is the developer of this technology, and no one knows it better than him.

Ten minutes later.

"Energy Injection Complete!"

"The site has been cleared!"

"All systems are working fine!"

All the engineers in Area 2 are ready for anything.

"Let's go!"

With Wei Minqiang's order, the entire large-scale variable cycle engine device slowly started.

And at the moment when the ignition device was activated, a huge roar rang out violently.

I saw that in the nozzle, two crimson flame tails, like fire dragons, burst out directly.

For a time, a huge noise swept through the entire test site.

Seeing this scene, except for the engineers who were very excited, everyone was very calm.

Because it's not much different from when the particle thruster was activated.

Moreover, not only the start, but also the subsequent afterburner state is exactly the same.

The only difference between the two is the thrust data.

The total thrust data of the large-scale variable-cycle engine unit reached an astonishing 4250 kN, that is, more than 4,000 tons!

Of course, this kind of terrifying thrust data is only possible when the two modes are launched together.

It belongs to the composite mode.
