Chapter 234: Unprecedented Construction Project, True Weapon of the Nation!

15,000-ton space carrier!

This number is imprinted in the depths of everyone's minds.

The weight of the Kunpeng transport aircraft is more than ten times, and the weight is even more than 2,000 tons higher than that of the 055 big drive.

No matter how conservative the estimates are.

Its length, height, and width are even larger than the Xuanwu aircraft carrier!

Once it flies high in the sky, it is no less than a city in the air that moves at high speed.

It's daunting!

Merely.

Looking at the engine that had slowly stopped, a ripple swelled up in everyone's hearts.

Jiang Chen said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, full of seriousness.

There is only one word that can describe its status!

The most important weapon of the country!

All the academicians present gasped, only to feel their scalps tingle!

Even if it is an ordinary aircraft, if its tonnage can reach fifteen thousand tons, it is quite a terrifying thing.

"As for the helicarrier. Chief Engineer Jiang raised the technical specifications to 15,000 tons! ”

Jiang Chen stared at everyone and said with a firm gaze.

Hear this.

There was a hint of surprise and shock in his eyes.

"Dean Lin, this space carrier is still very difficult to build."

"What about ultra-high-strength alloys or carbon nanotube fiber materials?"

There is an even more critical question!

"Isn't that enough to meet the needs of the helicarrier?"

100 billion, 1 trillion, even if the unit is calculated in US dollars, that is not hesitating!

For example, the J-20 (original) has been unable to use the S-15 turbofan engine due to material problems.

If all kinds of factors are added, the difficulty can be called directly against the sky.

He understands everything, and he also wants to speed up the construction progress.

With a hint of excitement and a smile, he slowly asked:

"In a little while, we should be able to complete the research and development!"

"High-strength wear-resistant alloys are not enough to meet the demand. The technical specs are even higher! ”

Even the Xuanwu aircraft carrier cannot be compared with it in terms of launch capacity.

You never know if you'll be able to develop a new material!

And Jiang Chen develops new materials. It's like buying a random lottery ticket and winning the 5 million jackpot every time!

"The material aspect is solved."

Dean Lin didn't say anything at all, and directly picked up the phone on the desktop to dial.

"No matter how long it takes to build, it's worth it!"

This little success at the moment can only be regarded as the first step towards the success of the entire space carrier project!

"It's Chief Engineer Jiang!" Everyone responded in unison.

"It's so difficult to build that it's impossible to predict the timing at the moment."

"No matter how difficult it is, this helicarrier must be built!"

Academy of Sciences, a secluded room.

They feel the opposite.

"Hey, what is its load? Five thousand tons? Or six thousand tons? ”

Lin Congli looked at Jiang Chen, Lu Yuanhang and the others, and took a sip of tea.

The construction of a 15,000-ton aircraft alone is already the most difficult level in history!

You must know that the total weight of Saturn V is only more than 3,000 tons.

How long has it been since a new type of material has been developed?

I'm afraid that even if Jiang Chen says that he has developed superconducting materials in the future, they won't think it's so strange!

That's a full 5,000 tons of growth, which is too big, right?

"A 15,000-ton aerospace carrier, how powerful is this?"

Lu Yuanhang rubbed his brows and continued helplessly.

"With two ultra-high-energy fission power engines, this kind of thrust is even more than enough!"

15,000 tons!

In the entire history of aerospace, no behemoth of such a terrifying size has ever been built.

The voice was as categorical as if it were categorical, and he said without hesitation:

"It's easy to build"

After hearing this question.

But the problem at hand is not only that it is difficult to build and that it takes a long time to build.

"But... Don't worry! ”

In terms of 9,000 tons of thrust, if you don't take into account what wind resistance, lift coefficient and so on. (The space carrier is too large, which will affect the flight efficiency)

There was a solemn and solemn look on his face.

After calming down the excitement in my heart.

Many of them were not part of the project team, so they didn't know about it.

Conventional high-strength metal can't meet the demand and can't support the vigorous movement of the mecha!

The development of these two new materials was finalized.

The aerospace carrier is about to start the main construction project so soon?

After all, how many people have spent their entire lives without being able to develop a new material that can be used.

As long as the aerospace carrier can be put down, it will be enough to carry more than 135 twin-engine J-20s with full fuel!

"It is used for the mothership's fuselage, hull, etc., to cover a large area!"

More than 5,000 tons of this extremely high-strength material are used.

"Perhaps. Is this really possible? ”

Even with a few strategic transport aircraft and strategic bombers inside, I'm afraid it's a thing without a problem!

Come to think of it.

"If high-temperature wear-resistant alloys don't work"

Many academicians of the Academy of Materials Engineering looked at Jiang Chen with shocked faces.

"Calculated at the current pace. Next year, it is expected to produce more than 10 tons per month, and production will continue to expand in the future! ”

According to the calculations of conventional transport aircraft and the like, at least it has a carrying capacity of more than 5,000 tons.

"The experiment of the power engine was quite successful, and the thrust performance reached 4,590 tons!"

"Then the construction of the space carrier should start soon, right?"

"Its mass production price is not expensive, and the production volume is extremely high, which can meet the needs of the space carrier in a short time!"

"The ultra-high-energy fission power engine experiment was successful."

Time.

Lu Yuanhang sighed, shook his head and said.

"We have to go all out for the rest of the work!"

Even if Huaxia is willing to spend hundreds of billions of dollars per gram to build an aerospace carrier.

The entire research institute was once again in a busy scene.

"More critically. Helicarriers need a whole new material! ”

"I'm ready to develop a new alloy called "New Super Strength Alloy!"

Although the engine test had been declared a success, his heart still did not relax.

After hearing Lin Congli's words.

After all, no matter how powerful an aircraft carrier is, it is impossible to fly to someone else's land at a speed of hundreds or thousands of kilometers per hour, right?

And in the face of such high-altitude, high-speed flying things, others drop them directly from the air, and you have to be restrained.

After hearing that the development of the ultra-high-energy fission power engine has been completed, the construction of this space carrier has also been put on the table.

There is no problem in building it in a short time, but the R&D expenses must be several times more than that!

How much do they spend on R&D a year?

Could it be that in order to develop the aerospace carrier, all other projects were suspended?

Lin Congli asked with some doubts.

"Chief Engineer Jiang, that's great!!"

It directly restricts the construction progress of the space carrier. It also restricts the development of the entire Huaxia Kyushu!

Look at the sad faces of these people.

This kind of combat power is so terrifying, it is completely the strongest weapon on the planet!

It can be said that as long as the space carrier can be developed!

In the air field, Huaxia is no longer just a comprehensive leader.

Even if you succeed in flying, you will face a problem in the air.

After all, this space carrier is really too big.

Arguably, this is the most difficult problem to solve at the moment.

Previously, when developing the Storm Crimson Mecha, their project team also faced this problem.

Zhao Xiu on the side looked at him with doubts in his words, and looked at him with some puzzlement.

"Isn't this helicarrier equivalent to 40 C-5 Galaxy transport planes??"

"No matter what the cost, we're going to develop it!"

Behind this voice, it was as if there was a roar of hundreds of millions of people.

Suddenly.

But without this high-strength material, it would not be able to support such a huge space carrier.

"It has extremely high strength requirements, whether it is yield strength, tensile strength, high temperature and so on."

"Not only do the technical specifications meet the requirements, but the mass production price is also low??"

Looking at this scene, everyone immediately understood what Lin Congli was going to do!

Stand up straight and keep as quiet as possible.

"I got it!!"

A moment later.

Lu Yuanhang plans to build a starship directly!

Before they could think too much.

"The Academy of Sciences and the top level will fully cooperate with your project team!"

"That's not enough, it's really hard to build it in a short time."

Looking at Jiang Chen's eyes, he was full of shock and horror.

It is a development that is directly beyond the whole world for decades, and the world's first is firmly in the hands of the hands!

How does this not make Lin Congli feel excited, and he can't wait to develop it!

Top academicians from various disciplines are all gathered together.

In the face of a weapon of such significance, it is worth the cost!

Even if it weren't for the fact that the engine had too much footprint, because the specific impulse efficiency and other issues would not be applicable to space rockets.

This new material technology can be used on the space carrier.

For a while, many people's eyes were focused on the two of them.

"Even if we expand production capacity, it will not be possible to meet the needs of the space carrier in a short period of time."

Today, however, the daily production of both materials is extremely low.

It's something they didn't even think about.

The problems to be overcome later, each of which is no less difficult than this engine!

At such moments, there can be no slackness in any way.

"So can the construction time of the space carrier be shortened?"

This is a technological product he won in the previous lottery.

"Complete the construction of the space carrier as quickly as possible and at any cost!"

Not to mention the maximum take-off weight of 15,000 tons, even 20,000 tons!

After all, even if it is 20,000 tons, it has a thrust-to-weight ratio of 0.45!

As soon as the words fell.

Helicarrier, the overlord above the skies!

Suddenly.

"Hiss new super-strength alloy?? And a completely new material? ”

As long as they have an aerospace carrier, they can even say directly:

"What Gallic chickens, woolly bears, and eagles are worthy of being called five pays?"

"Academician Jiang Zonggong Lu!"

If it was before, they would have thought anyway.

"The success of the power engine is only the most fundamental step in the whole project!"

Even at a conservative estimate of 50% of the empty weight, that's 7,500 tons of carriers.

Before everyone could think too much, Jiang Chen opened his mouth to explain at this time.

After hearing his words, everyone seemed to be boiling.

"Neither ultra-high-strength alloys nor carbon nanotube materials can meet the demand!"

It can save the construction cost of the space carrier to the greatest extent.

The thrust of that ultra-high-energy fission power engine reached 4,590 tons, and this terrifying data is not counted!

How did the Aerospace Helicarrier become 15000 tons? Didn't you say that it was built in the 10,000-ton scale?

Everyone was overjoyed and looked at Jiang Chen with excitement on their faces.

Now, even if we have the best carbon nanotube fibers, we can't do it on a large scale.

He put down the phone in his hand, stared at everyone and said:

"According to the instructions of the upper echelons."

The weight of a transport plane and bomber is only a few tens or hundreds of tons!

Suddenly, all the academicians had a sad look on their faces.

"Academician Zhao, you misunderstood. It's because of the amount of demand! ”

But now, after seeing the performance of this ultra-high-energy fission power engine.

It's heavy and difficult to build, and you can find a way to overcome it.

"I'm going to fight five!"

Whether it is aircraft carriers, aerospace, aviation and other fields, various material technologies are limiting them all the time.

And when its own length, width, and height exceed that of an aircraft carrier, it also needs to maintain high-speed flight in the atmosphere.

But at present, with a maximum production of one or two hundred kilograms per day, it will take until what year and month will it be able to meet the needs of the aerospace carrier?

If you produce less than 100 tons a year, you have to wait for 50 or 60 years

"Even if it's expensive, the production can't keep up. It's too hard, isn't it? ”

The problem of materials engineering has plagued China for decades.

Lin Congli's face showed a tenacious expression.

While boasting extremely high-performance data, the price of mass production is not too high.

This R&D budget is not just as simple as tens of billions!

Even many people are ridiculing that the field of materials is like scratching a lottery ticket.

For an aerospace carrier with a tonnage of 15,000 tons, its research and development expenditure is in the unit of 100 billion.

"Alright. Let's move on to R&D! ”

"That's a bit higher than the average bomber's thrust-to-weight ratio." Lu Yuanhang touched his chin and thought with a frown.

"I'm afraid this R&D funding will require a lot... And even without counting the cost of materials! ”

"Whether it's 100 billion, a trillion or even more, we're going to build it!"

They all thought that the construction plan of the space carrier was going to be postponed until several years later

As a result, I didn't expect that a completely new material technology could be developed right away.

The average fighter, similar to the twin-engine J-20, is a heavy air superiority aircraft, and the weight of all fuel is only 37 tons.

The Aerospace Helicarrier is an absolutely impossible task!

At night.

Hear this.

This is simply impossible, and it is still necessary to separate for several years of research and development.

An internal meeting is quietly being held here.

Lu Yuanhang frowned, still a little helpless.

Merely.

Even the multiplayer Gundam that can be used to build a multiplayer Gundam like Tempest Crimson is an excellent choice.

"It's not about tens of tons of material. But thousands, or even tens of thousands! ”

The first problem on the table is naturally the most important project of the Academy of Sciences and even the whole of China!

Even the Xuanwu aircraft carrier, the Storm Crimson mecha, the air and space fighters, etc., cannot be compared with it in importance.

They just hope that this moment will come as soon as possible!
