"Superconducting battery technology is the most advanced technology, and you can make ultra-high-performance batteries with storage capacity of up to hundreds of thousands of kilowatt hours......"

"We are working on the design of a new aircraft carrier, and we heard about your technology and wanted to see if it could be applied to the new aircraft carrier."

Li Hongshuo said very bluntly.

The purpose of his visit to the anti-gravity vehicle experimental base is for superconducting battery technology.

This technology is unique in the world and is an ultra-high-end energy storage technology, which will naturally be included in the design considerations of the new aircraft carrier.

】

Wang Hao asked suspiciously, "Do you want to use superconducting batteries as an energy supplement for aircraft carriers?" ”

"Yes."

Li Hongshuo said, "The new aircraft carrier is mainly nuclear-powered, which is also our basic goal, but other aspects must also be taken into account." ”

"Before I came, I had already discussed with others that if there could be a high-performance battery of hundreds of thousands of kilowatt hours, it could be used as a backup energy source for the new aircraft carrier, and it could be used separately for radar and electronic system equipment."

"This makes it possible to separate the electronic systems and further ensure safety."

The so-called supplementary energy and the independent operation of electronic systems take into account the war-war situation.

When an aircraft carrier is attacked, having a backup energy source coupled with the independent operation of electronic systems will definitely increase the safety performance of the aircraft carrier.

Even if one part is hit, it will not affect the operation of the whole.

However, according to Li Hongshuo, superconducting battery technology is obviously not a necessity, because the new aircraft carrier uses nuclear power as an energy source.

No matter how high-end superconducting battery technology is, it is only a battery that supplies electricity, while nuclear power is a continuous source of energy, and the two are not at the same level at all.

Wang Hao was interested in the issue of the use of nuclear power for the new aircraft carrier, and after listening to Li Hongshuo talk for a long time, he couldn't help but ask, "Now that we have the ability to build a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier?" ”

"This ......"

Li Hongshuo didn't expect Wang Hao to ask such a question, and then said, "The use of nuclear power for the new aircraft carrier is the foundation." It's not certain yet, but we're definitely going to design a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. ”

Wang Hao didn't know how to answer.

He also thought that China already had the technology of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, but he got such an answer.

Li Hongshuo continued, "It's still early. The new aircraft carrier is also only in the design, the planned construction time is five years later, and we have been refining the nuclear power technology. ”

Wang Hao nodded knowingly.

Although he didn't care much about the development of aircraft carriers, there would be a lot of coverage on each aircraft carrier, and he also knew that nuclear power was the main direction, and normally speaking, the next aircraft carrier would definitely be nuclear-powered.

This is already a direct task.

If a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier cannot be manufactured, because without continuous power support, the Navy will not have long-range navigation and strike capabilities, and there are already several conventionally powered aircraft carriers, and it really doesn't make much sense to build new conventionally powered aircraft carriers.

From this, we can see ......

The work pressure of Li Hongshuo and related scientific research units is certainly very high.

Of course, the nuclear power technology of the aircraft carrier is certainly not their direct responsibility, but without perfect nuclear power technology, there is no way to complete the design of the new aircraft carrier.

This is also an important factor restricting the progress of the work, and it is no wonder that Li Hongshuo will make a special trip to pay attention to the superconducting battery technology on the aircraft carrier, which is not too important.

As the two spoke, the conversation moved on to another part.

Although superconducting battery technology is not a necessity for aircraft carriers, superconducting battery technology can be applied in many fields, and there is a related field that is directly related to the Navy.

Electromagnetic cannon technology.

"We have always hoped that in the future we will be able to install electromagnetic guns on large ships."

"However, this technology is very difficult to implement."

"Although there have been relevant studies and many experiments, the performance is very unstable." Li Hongshuo talked about electromagnetic cannon technology, but said a lot of things, "If superconducting batteries can be used as energy, maybe the most basic energy problem of electromagnetic guns can be solved." ”

Wang Hao nodded thoughtfully, and did not make a direct evaluation, he said a little modestly, "I am only responsible for researching the application of relevant technologies, and you are the experts." ”

It's the truth.

His work is technology research and development, not technology application, whether it is superconducting batteries or anti-gravity technology, which is essentially directly related to superconductivity, and he has researched related technologies and continued to expand them in depth.

When the technology is researched, there are many directions to think about the application, and people in specialized fields are also needed to do research.

……

In the process of the two talking, the military-side delegation also learned about the parameters and performance of the prototype, as well as the high-end technology involved.

The prototype is being assembled, and the theoretical parameters of the design can give people great expectations, and several air force generals immediately said, "When the day of the actual test flight, I will definitely come back." ”

"This flying machine is so high-end, I can't wait to see it take off!"

"It's October, right?"

"According to the plan, you will be able to see it in a month."

Wang Hao also talked about the relevant plans, because to strive for the aircraft to appear in the military parade, the time is still very tight, and the installation and commissioning of the aircraft are planned.

This month's time is to continue to install, test, and follow-up to carry out small test flight experiments, but after the prototype is installed, the basic take-off and lift-off, slow moving flight and other tests, after the end of the basic test will be carried out formal test flight.

When the time comes, there will definitely be a lot of people who will come and watch.

That's the big moment.

After talking about the problem of anti-gravity aircraft, some experts and scholars in the field of aviation also talked about technical problems, and they mainly talked about superconducting battery technology.

The application space of superconducting battery technology is simply too large.

Several experts from the aviation group are talking about whether it will be possible to create a large drone from this.

The most important thing drones need is power.

Some small drones are directly battery-powered, while some large drones need to be equipped with aero engines.

Aero engines will make the drone have abundant power, but because it has to carry a large amount of fuel, it is also a limitation on the endurance of the drone.

This is enough to support the creation of large drones.

"Superconducting batteries, coupled with superconducting motors, the power is definitely sufficient, not even worse than an aero engine."

"I think that based on these two technologies, we can even build fighter planes......

Another expert thought about it and asked Wang Haodao, "Can you make a smaller anti-gravity vehicle?" It doesn't have to be that big, for example, ten meters in diameter, the battery life can be shorter, but it must be flexible. ”

"Such an anti-gravity vehicle, I think it is enough to replace the fighter......"

Another expert said, "Ordinary fighters are useless, and the situation we will face in the future also includes the ability to strike in the far sea, and the most important thing is to have carrier-based aircraft with good performance." ”

"With superconducting battery and motor technology, it is definitely possible to build a carrier-based aircraft, but it is ......"

"You can't use an ordinary aircraft carrier?"

After this question was asked, many people looked at Li Hongshuo.

Li Hongshuo said with a smile and a smile, "If we manufacture electrically propelled carrier-based aircraft in the future, then our aircraft carrier technology will have to be adjusted." ”

"Wouldn't it be nice if we didn't build an ordinary aircraft carrier and just built an offshore nuclear power generation platform?"

The others laughed.

……

After the departure of the military delegation, the commissioning of the second prototype continued.

In order to be able to catch up with the plan, Wang Hao was also directly involved in the work, and his main job was to help come up with a plan to solve some problems encountered in debugging.

One of the big problems is the electronic system.

One of the cores of the anti-gravity aircraft is the electronic system, the electronic system is the control soft core, the cooling system, the anti-gravity system, the superconducting battery, the superconducting motor and the radar system and other ancillary modules, are directly controlled by the electronic system, if the electronic system fails, it will have a huge impact on the operation of the entire aircraft.

Wang Hao put a lot of energy into the improvement of the electronic system, and decided to add two safety modules in the middle of the process, so as to ensure that the electronic system can operate more stably.

Soon a month passed.

The anti-gravity vehicle completed the basic debugging a week before the plan, and then continued to test and prepare for the test flight a week later.

The test flight was a very significant one.

The test flight of the second prototype is completely different from the first.

The anti-gravity aircraft has been exposed, which has attracted widespread international attention, and senior leaders, the military and other departments have also attached great importance to it, and always pay attention to the progress of the research and development of the second prototype.

In this context, before the test flight of the second prototype, many leaders came to the base, including the No. 2 leader, as well as several senior generals of the Air Force, who came for the first time to take a look at the test flight of the aircraft.

The test flight work is not a simple flight, but three resolute tasks.

The first is high-altitude levitation, with a planned suspension altitude of 45,000 kilometers.

The second is supersonic flight, and the plan is to achieve a breakthrough speed of sound at an altitude of 10,000 meters.

The third is high-altitude flexible steering.

High-altitude flexible steering is a project set up to evade incoming missiles, as long as you can make timely and flexible steering, you can easily dodge incoming missiles at high altitude.

In front of the experimental base, Wang Hao was standing with the No. 2 leader, watching the large disc-shaped flying saucer in the distance, which was slowly transported to the endless open space.

A lot of people are busy around.

The second leader was a little expectant and a little nervous, and he asked, "Are you confident this time?" ”

"Normal should be fine."

Wang Hao seemed very relaxed, because he had been debugged many times, and the take-off and landing tests and near-ground tests had ended, and there were no major problems in the process.

Now there is no need to worry too much about the official test flight.

Of course.

There are also projects that Wang Hao is a little worried about, and the most difficult of them is the supersonic flight at an altitude of 10,000 meters.

Anti-gravity vehicles are not like ordinary fighter jets, and there is a certain risk in high-speed flight near the earth, even if it is a supersonic flight at an altitude of 10,000 meters, there is also a little bit of risk.

But no matter what kind of aircraft it is, as long as it takes off, it is definitely risky.

Wang Hao looked at the large flying machine in the distance that had been condensed with a lot of effort, and said with a confident expectation, "Don't worry, there will definitely be no problem." ”

The second leader nodded, made sure it was ready, and said, "Then let's start!" ”
