Since ancient times, naming weapons by nicknames or even conferring knighthoods has been an effective way to boost morale and deter enemies.

All countries have a similar practice, they will give weapons a nice and powerful name, which sounds good when shouted and domineering when used.

For example, in terms of fighters, Aifu 86, alias 'Sabre', Aifu 80, alias 'Meteor', Aifu 4 'Ghost', Aifu -5 'Tiger', Aifu 105 'Lei Gong', and so on.

Of course, naming an opponent's weapon is the opposite.

For example, Mig 15 is called 'Bundle of Firewood', Mig 17 is called 'Fresco', Mig 19 is called 'Farmer', and the second generation - Mig 23/27 'Whiplasher', and Hungry 15 Fighter is named 'Fine-spouted Bottle'.

There are many weapons in the history of the flower planter, all of which have very majestic and jingling names, such as earth-shaking thunder, cupola cannon, underwater dragon king cannon, and fire dragon out of the water.

In terms of fighters, there are Mengyu, flying leopards, long-billed whales, black panthers, thunder dragons, Menglong, Weilong......

Wait a minute.

The current anti-gravity vehicle also has a name, codenamed FWS-2, the official name is the 'Air Ship Series', and the one being tested is the 'Air Ship -2' type.

The 'Air Tank-2' aircraft has received a lot of attention, not only at home but also abroad.

Before the 'Air Ship -1' was exposed, the 'Air Ship -2' has been receiving huge attention since the design and manufacturing, and the related R&D and manufacturing work is in the anti-gravity aircraft research base, and it has not been completely kept secret.

This is mainly due to the fact that the 'Kongjian-2' aircraft will be officially unveiled in October.

Since it is to be officially unveiled and exhibited, and it is the only and most high-end anti-gravity aircraft in the world, it is not important whether it is confidential or not.

Therefore, the official test flight simply invited reporters for interviews, including several foreign media reporters, but the reporters were confined to a fixed hilltop area, and they could shoot from a distance.

In fact, the main purpose of inviting reporters to interview is to show the international community the most cutting-edge application of anti-gravity technology and superconducting technology in the field of aviation.

In terms of the most cutting-edge products in the world, many countries do the same.

For example, the most advanced aircraft carriers and the most advanced fighters have been reported from the very beginning of their design, and they will be reported again and again in the future, and it is even said that the aircraft carriers and fighters have not yet been manufactured, and the parameters have been exposed.

These are all proactive behaviors.

In the most cutting-edge technology and military products, we are not afraid of being exposed to the parameters, or the technology used, but hope to be known by more people.

When there are more reports, more attention can be used to show science and technology, show military strength, and enhance international influence.

There are so many benefits.

On the one hand, it can play a deterrent role, and on the other hand, it can increase its international influence by showing it publicly.

There are many more aspects to be considered in China, such as the technology and market in the field of superconductivity.

At present, the division of scientific and technological products in various fields in the world has gradually become clear, and in most fields, flower growers are not the top, and the profits at the top belong to other countries.

The field of superconductivity is a completely new field, and it must be a field with great influence in the future, with very amazing market potential.

Now we have mastered the most advanced superconducting technology, as well as other technologies and applications that come with superconductivity, including anti-gravity technology, superconducting battery technology, superconducting motors, and so on.

In this context, it is necessary to continue to carry out propaganda, so that the world can think of superconductivity, can think of the products of the flower planter, and think of the ultra-high-end technology.

After that, it will naturally bring consistently high profits.

Plainly.

Money is everything.

Only with sufficient economic strength can we invest high R&D funds and research more high-end technologies.

It's a virtuous circle.

If the research and development is carried out in a boring way, even if it creates a few killer features, the follow-up funds cannot support it, and the technology may slowly be surpassed by others.

In addition, the increase in influence is also very important, for example, the influence of aviation display, may allow the aviation field to get more orders in the future, and every international order in the aviation field can bring very high profits.

At this time, dozens of reporters gathered in the open area of the hill, and they all set up their cameras and pointed them at the large disc in the open space in the distance, ready to shoot the work.

Because the test was just about to start, and there was still a lot of free time, they couldn't help but discuss, "This air ship Type 2 seems to be bigger than the Type 1, right?" Although there is no clear data, the diameter of the first type should be around twenty meters. ”

"The information that came out of the picture should be about the same, and now this one is really bigger."

"Do you think this test flight will be a success? I've heard that there seems to be supersonic cruises, and it should be dangerous for such a vehicle to fly at supersonic speeds, right? ”

"It's going to work!"

A domestic reporter said seriously, "Although I also feel that supersonic cruise is dangerous, I believe in Wang Hao, this is the aircraft that Wang Hao is researching." ”

"Indeed!"

Other reporters also said, "Academician Wang Hao, that's really trustworthy!" ”

"He seems to be able to do anything!"

"That's a super genius!"

"That's amazing!"

"It's because of Wang Hao that there is now an empty ship flying saucer!"

"Yes, Wang Hao has studied anti-gravity technology, and it is said that superconducting batteries and motors are also related to him......"

"In any case, this flying saucer is the most high-end product integrating the cutting-edge technology of superconductivity......"

"It's so much to look forward to!"

……

In the open space in the distance.

Leader 2 had already given the order to begin, and then all the personnel involved began to get busy.

Looking at the busy scene, many people standing on the periphery were a little worried, because there were reporters in the distance to take pictures, which can be said to be an internationally open test flight test.

When testing is internationally open and important, it's best not to make a mistake.

This can also put a lot of pressure on the testing work.

Wang Hao also felt a little worried, after all, success was not 100%, but he still showed a relaxed expression.

Even without a reporter around, he knew he had to be relaxed to give confidence to others.

On this field, he is more important than the leader, and he is the real backbone.

Finally, the tests began.

This is a comprehensive test, and the requirements are naturally very high.

When the air-2 was officially activated, the huge body immediately slowly levitated.

Straight line suspension is a take-off action.

When it levitated to a height of twenty meters, the aircraft began to move sideways, and then the advanced side immediately looked upwards, and it was obvious that the acceleration had increased.

Many onlookers felt that the take-off of the Airship 2 was much less noisy than that of a conventional fighter, and even the acceleration did not produce a huge roar.

This is one of the differences between electric propulsion and aero engines.

Aero engines speed up, there will be a huge roar, spectators have to wear earplugs, otherwise the ears will be greatly affected, and relying on electric propulsion alone does not have such a loud roar.

Of course, electric propulsion also has a disadvantage, that is, the thrust generated is far from that of an aero engine.

This is not a problem at all in anti-gravity aircraft, because anti-gravity can greatly reduce the weight, and the take-off weight of the aircraft is only about three tons, which is only about the same as a heavier car, and much smaller than an ordinary aircraft.

The air-2 quickly rose to a height of five hundred meters, and also turned into a small black dot in the field of vision, but there was much more to see, and it was obvious that a white line appeared in the sky, and the appearance of the white line marked the activation of the auxiliary power unit, and the cooled nitrogen was sprayed out by high compression, allowing the air in the vent to cool and cause the water vapor to liquefy.

"This is a newly added nitrogen injection system." Wang Hao explained to others who did not understand, "The power that can be provided by electric propulsion alone, even if it is a superconducting motor, is limited, especially at high altitude, as the altitude increases, the air will become thinner and thinner, and the role of electric propulsion will become smaller and smaller." ”

"The nitrogen injection system is to compress nitrogen and eject it, which can be understood as a rocket engine to a certain extent."

"Of course, only part of the ......"

The appearance of this white line can explain a lot of things.

There were reporters on the hill who were doing real-time reports, and they were all surprised by the white lines that appeared, while people in the aviation field who watched the report knew at a glance that it was powered by gas ejection.

It's certainly not just electric propulsion.

An engineer from an internationally famous broadcasting company immediately came to the conclusion, "It must be a spray of coolant and nitrogen." ”

"I've studied anti-gravity vehicles, and their propulsion method is mainly electric thrust, but with electric thrusters, the flight speed and altitude will be limited."

"And they can't use aero engines, so the only thing they can use is nitrogen for cooling."

"Nitrogen is highly compressed and then ejected, which provides a certain amount of propulsion......"

"This method ......"

"It's complicated!"

The engineer took a breath of cool air.

Although the principle is stated, the technology and design behind the principle are very complex, and it can be said that it is a very complicated research to compress nitrogen as a coolant in the eruption and provide power to the aircraft.

In addition, I had never thought of such a way before.

If it is a rocket engine, whether it is solid fuel or liquid fuel, the most important thing is to burn at high pressure and then erupt, and the anti-gravity vehicle must not burn inside, so it is necessary to redesign the compression fan blade to compress and re-discharge the used nitrogen step by step.

The technology behind it is too complex and high-end.

When many people didn't have time to sigh, the airship 2 and straight into the clouds, and then disappeared from view, and their emotion suddenly became, "The climb speed is too fast!" ”

"It's amazing!"

"This should be much faster than a normal fighter fighter's climb, right?"

It's natural.

The anti-gravity aircraft climb much faster than ordinary aircraft, the general ordinary aircraft climb inclination angle can not exceed 25 degrees, the fighter has no clear regulations, but the normal flight inclination angle will not exceed 40 degrees, and the normal climb of anti-gravity aircraft, 45 degrees inclination angle is a conventional operation.

After the aircraft disappeared from view, the reporters had to continue to wait.

The only thing they can know, is that the flying machine, is what tests are being done.

Soon, they also got the information.

The aircraft is preparing for a supersonic cruise test, which consists of two parts, one is to enter supersonic speed, and the other is to continue cruising.

Because the test is carried out at an altitude of 10,000 meters, it is naturally impossible for the eyes to catch it, and it is impossible for the cameras on the ground to see it, and only the accompanying aircraft, radar, and satellites can see it.

Journalists had no choice but to wait.

Wang Hao and the others also returned to the control room, keeping an eye on the status of the empty ship-2 at any time.

Pilots are always in contact and report every once in a while.

The radar system has also been tracking.

Soon.

The air-2 climbed more than 10,000 meters and was in the acceleration stage, which was still very fast, and only a short time later, I heard the report say that the speed of sound was said.

"Speed, 346."

"Speed, 367, detection power!"

“……”

After the air-ship-2 broke through the speed of sound, it continued to accelerate the test, and the ultimate goal was to make the superconducting motor turn on 80% of the maximum power, and calculate the real-time speed, and then maintain the speed for cruise.

In terms of performance theory, at an altitude of 10,000 meters, after turning on 80% of the power, the maximum speed is about 420 m/s, but the test and theoretical data are different, and the final speed reaches 442 m/s, which is about Mach 1.3, and the speed is almost just the moment when the resistance is the greatest.

Next, instead of continuing to increase speed, you will start to cruise at supersonic speeds as normal.

This is the capability that an anti-gravity vehicle needs to have.

The reporters also got the news that the aircraft entered the stage of supersonic cruise, because there was nothing to see at the scene, they could only wait for the news, and after entering the supersonic cruise, they only needed to make a record and wait for the next stage of testing.

In general, the fighter conducts supersonic cruise tests, which will take no more than ten minutes.

But they waited for more than 20 minutes, and still did not wait for the information of the next stage, and immediately asked the person in charge of the interview area, "Why is the next stage not open, and the supersonic cruise has not ended?" ”

Half an hour later, a foreign reporter even asked directly, "Did you encounter any problems?" ”

A lot of people talked about it.

The person in charge hesitated, but still called his superiors and got an answer that could reveal the cruising information.

He replied to reporters very clearly, "The supersonic cruise test time is one hour. ”

"An hour?"

"Not kidding, right?"

Many reporters were stunned.

Even high-end fighters that have been perfected and serviced can only cruise at supersonic speed in about half an hour.

One reporter couldn't help but ask, "Isn't the air-2 worried about energy?" ”

This question immediately caught the attention of others.

Although it has always been known that the space series uses superconducting batteries, there is no definite information on what the specific situation is, such as the performance of superconducting batteries.

Now for that......

I'm afraid that the empty ship-2 has no energy troubles at all!

Conventional fighter jets carry out supersonic cruise, and the fuel of the aircraft must be constantly and rapidly consumed, and the supersonic cruise is tested, and it takes an hour of supersonic cruise, and the energy consumed in the process has exceeded all that of a top fighter.

Therefore, the superconducting battery used in the Kongjian-2 must be a very amazing data.

"I'm afraid it's tens of thousands of kilowatts!" Some reporters speculated.

Another reporter said, "It may also reach 100,000 kilowatts, after all, it is a superconducting battery." ”

"Even for superconducting batteries, 100,000 kilowatts is too high, right?"

"There are not 100,000, but there are 80,000 ......"

Amid the surprise of reporters at the amount of superconducting battery charge, the stage of supersonic cruising has finally passed.

The next step is the high levitation test.

When it reaches a certain altitude, because the air becomes very thin, it doesn't even need an inclination, that is, it turns on the large thruster at the bottom, and then sprays nitrogen downward to provide power, and flies upwards in a parallel flight attitude, and finally comes to an altitude of 45,000 meters.

The airship-2 began to slow down, eventually reducing to a standstill, remaining in the air only by power.

Some satellites captured this image and were shocked at the same time.

If the Airship-2 rises tens of thousands of meters, it may even be regarded as a geosynchronous satellite, rather than a vehicle that can rise freely.

Immobility is also one of the tests.

At an altitude of 45,000 meters, the air is very thin, and the nitrogen injection system for auxiliary power has become the core power source, but it is also very limited.

The rate at which the anti-gravity vehicle consumes nitrogen is limited, and the coolant it carries is also limited, and the power of the nitrogen injection system is naturally quite limited.

It is possible to stay at high altitude with electric propulsion and nitrogen injection systems directly underneath, but in the case of high-speed cruises, the time it can support is limited.

"It only lasts about 40 minutes, and then you have to land and add coolant." Wang Hao said, "At tens of thousands of meters in altitude, the nitrogen injection system has become the main driving force, and in order to fly at supersonic speeds, it is necessary to accelerate the consumption of nitrogen." ”

"The faster you go, the faster it consumes."

"The reason why we designed it to be used faster is that it is important to consider the flexibility at high altitude to avoid incoming missiles."

The others kept nodding their heads.

After that, there is the flexibility test, which is to have the anti-gravity vehicle accelerate, turn, and do some up and down flight at high altitude.

After all the test items were completed, the leader also hurriedly issued the order to return.

Returning, not the end, but the last test.

The reporters also received the news that the aircraft was ready to return, and they thought that the tests were all over, but they took pictures that were even more amazing than taking off.

The landing method of the Airship-2 is not like an ordinary aircraft, which descends from a distance with its head down.

That kind of landing method can be said to have no benefits for anti-gravity vehicles, and it will even bring great risks.

The Airship-2 uses a vertical landing.

To put it simply, after the speed is reduced to the equivalent of levitation, the other thrusters are turned off, only the large thrusters are turned on, and then the aircraft is allowed to fly vertically downward, and the other thrusters only play the role of adjusting the landing position.

When you see a large disc-like flying saucer descending rapidly from a high altitude, it will bring a great shock.

It really felt like seeing a UFO......

Looking at the disc falling from the sky, a reporter joked in surprise, "Aliens, come to attack the earth......
