Chapter 243: Strengthened, Superconducting Particle Transition Engine

After hanging up the communication.

Tang Rui asked Red Lotus to show the model of the large spaceship that Feng Yuanxing and the others had designed during this time.

Feng Yuanxing finished the design two days ago.

But he was eating melons at the time and didn't care about it.

It's okay now.

He just took out the design model and saw how it went.

Brush!

As the spaceship model appeared, Tang Rui was speechless.

Boy.

I copy 300i.

You just copy 890, right?

But one thing to say, the shape of this ship is indeed beautiful.

Tang Rui looked at the parameters of Feng Yuanxing's design, the entire spacecraft was 120 meters long, 36 meters wide, and 28 meters high.

This parameter is okay, at least it didn't take out the original spaceship parameters and use it.

The form factor hasn't changed much.

But the interior has changed a lot, what a swimming pool, a dance hall, an entertainment area, a sky garden.

All of this has been canceled.

The task given to them by Tang Rui before was to design a civilian manned spacecraft for navigation between the Earth and the Moon.

Therefore, they have changed the design of the interior into a cabin like a premium business class, each cabin is a separate isolation cabin, with an internal emergency life support system.

Even if something happens to the ship.

Personnel in the cabin can also survive in the cabin for 12 hours through the emergency life support system.

This design is considered an insurance.

In addition to the cockpit of personnel, there are meeting rooms, lounges, restaurants, viewing areas, warehouses and other areas.

There are not many entertainment packages, at most the network that can connect to the earth.

For the interior design, Tang Rui didn't find anything wrong.

However, according to Feng Yuanxing's design.

The weight of the entire spacecraft reached 625 tons, and the maximum take-off weight of a full load was 1,200 tons.

It's a bold design.

To make is to be able to make.

It's this engine problem, and it needs to be studied carefully.

Nuclear-powered rocket engines.

Tang Rui is not going to continue to do it, that thing is too troublesome to use.

"It's time to upgrade the electric propulsion engine."

In the interstellar era of the future, there will be no electric propulsion engine, and that's not a joke.

Always relying on nuclear-powered rockets, it's not the same thing.

However, if he wants to come up with a thousand-bull or even tonnage-level electric propulsion, he still has to study and understand the theory.

"Red Lotus, bring a copy of the parts for the electric propulsion engine."

Tang Rui wants to build an electric propulsion engine with his own hands.

"Yes, master."

Honglian quickly put the accessories of the electric propulsion engine on the workbench in front of Tang Rui.

The propulsion engine is actually quite simple.

This simplicity is not only simple to manufacture, but also simpler to maintain, which is much better than the current tens of thousands of parts of the aviation engine and man-arrow engine, the only drawback is that the thrust is not enough.

It took Tang Rui more than half an hour to build an electric propulsion engine with a thrust of only 0.8 Newtons.

Aggrandizement!

Aggrandizement!

Re-strengthened!

Without hesitation, click directly on reinforcement, and it is continuous reinforcement.

With a burst of pale golden light flashed.

The propulsion engine has been strengthened.

The size of the engine has been changed from 5 centimeters in diameter to 20 centimeters, and the internal structure has also become more complicated, with the addition of an air intake grille.

[Item: Superconducting Particle Jump Jet Engine]

[Experience: 0/55000]

[Enhancement: Superconducting Particle Transition System]

[Attributes: Thrust increased by 180%, specific impulse increased by 160%, speed increased by 120%]

[Source point: 726.52]

After Tang Rui looked at the data on the system panel, he said to Honglian: "Record the drawings, store them in the exclusive database, and then display the internal structure model and program code." ”

"Yes, master."

Red Lotus immediately showed the model of the engine, next to which was the source code of the control program of the engine system.

Tang Rui carefully watched the structure of the internal equipment and studied the purpose of each accessory.

Compared to the electric propulsion engine he made before.

The electric propulsion engine with the enhanced system panel has significantly added some things, such as the grille.

It stands to reason that this thing shouldn't be on an electric propulsion engine, and it doesn't need air.

But after the system is strengthened, it does have this thing.

What does this mean?

This means that electric propulsion engines can also be used in the atmosphere.

"Red Lotus, you take this engine to the test."

"Okay, master, do you need to send it into space for testing?"

"No, just test it on the ground."

"Okay."

Red Lotus took control of the robot and took the engine to the test.

Tang Rui began to look at the system program code.

Especially the algorithm in it.

By the time he had dinner in the evening, he had basically figured out how the electric propulsion engine worked.

Essentially.

After the system is strengthened, the electric propulsion engine also relies on the Hall effect on its working principle, and there is no difference at the theoretical level.

But in reality, the technical gap between the two is very large.

The key to this is superconductivity.

The strong magnetic confinement of the superconducting magnetic field and the strong thrust of the ions are simply not possible with the current electric propulsion magnetic field.

Not to mention, there is also the quantum tunneling effect and the quantum transition effect.

Of course, the difficulty of all this lies in superconductivity.

As long as the superconducting coil is solved.

Let the strength of the confined magnetic field reach 160T.

Any graduate student in physics can build this thruster.

Other words.

As long as he can make superconducting materials at room temperature, then building an electric propulsion engine is not a problem at all.

"Master, the test results are out."

"How's the thrust?"

"The maximum thrust is 10 tons, and the minimum thrust is 1 New."

"So strong? Put the test data out. ”

"Okay."

Tang Rui looked at the data recorded during the Red Lotus test, and it was indeed the same as what it said, the electric propulsion engine can steadily increase the thrust from 1 ox, and after reaching 10 tons of thrust, even if the energy supply is increased.

This energy supply is not a joke?

Tang Rui only saw the energy supply data at this time, and he didn't care about it before.

100,000 megawatts?

This power is no joke.

It is equivalent to 10,000 megawatts of thrust equal to 1 ton.

With 20 of these electric propulsion engines, even if the nuclear reactor is moved to the spacecraft, the power generation will not be enough.

Not a small nuclear reactor.

Even large nuclear reactors on land do not have enough power supply.

"Red Lotus, take the superconducting alloy for analysis, and then record the formula and process."

Tang Rui took a deep breath and commanded.

"Yes, master."

Superconducting materials must be done.

Not only superconducting materials, but also controlled nuclear fusion.

There are no nuclear fusion reactors.

Don't think about electric propulsion engines.

These two are complementary to each other, energy is not enough, play a hammer.

OK.

It is a neutron-resistant material that can be used as the inner wall of a fusion reactor.

There is a room temperature superconducting material for magnetic confinement.

The rest is better said.

Whether he wants to do a tokamak or a stellar, he can try it.

He is not short of deuterium and tritium.

Think about it this way.

Tang Rui realized that he had gathered all the conditions for controlled nuclear fusion and could start it at any time.
