My Side Job is a Trader - Chapter 434
A year later, a spacecraft equipped with the latest nuclear fusion power propulsion device took shape, and Chaos internally named it “Flying Dragon”.
At this time, two groups of astronauts had been replaced in China’s space station.
The National Aviation Center learned that the Chaos Space Exploration Company had made a technological breakthrough on the spacecraft, and immediately formed an expert group to investigate Yingzhou Island.
Regarding the application of controllable nuclear fusion, the matrix can be said to have always been at the forefront of the world, which even the government has to admit.
Because the technology requires a high degree of confidentiality, the matrix cannot apply for a patent.
Generally speaking, this kind of high-tech technology that can be applied to military or space and other key fields will generally not be applied for a patent, because applying for a patent means that the technology needs to be disclosed. Once someone ignores the patent protection, they can use it at any time. .
Although patent protection has a certain binding effect, if the benefits involved are large enough, the so-called patent protection mechanism will become a joke.
Sun Shucai is the person in charge of the National Aviation Center, and Zhang Xin is also an old friend. After all, the two sides often deal with each other.
“Mr. Zhang, how are Qian Lao and their health now?”
In all, Qian Yawei, Zhao Yunchang, and Yu Hanrong have been working for Chaos for more than ten years. They were about to retire that year, but were ordered in danger. According to the above instructions, they came to Chaos Space Exploration Company to help Zhang Xin structure the company. Build it up.
Ten years have passed and the three of them are almost 70 years old. As the old club, they are naturally very concerned about these three national treasures.
Zhang Xin said: “Oh, do you think I will be the same as those outside capitalists? These three are delicious and spicy with me. They are so good that they are not even seventy years old.”
Sun Shucai looked at the environment on Yingzhou Island and said, “I still believe this. After all, your place is now a famous tourist resort in China. It is located in the Pacific Ocean and has a pleasant climate. It is indeed a good place for elderly care.”
The two sides talked and laughed and came to Space Island, which is the exclusive island of Chaos Space Exploration Company.
“Lao Qian, Lao Zhao, Lao Yu, Sun Shucai came to visit you.”
Sun Shucai also worked under Hanrong. It can be said that Yu Hanrong has a great influence on his career.
“It’s you kid, you are now leading the team. It seems that the National Aviation Center wants to train you to become the chief engineer of the rocket research and development department.”
Sun Shucai just smiled, and then introduced the identities of the five people who came with him this time.
These five people are also considered small-known in the field of rocket power, and they have basically been determined to be the successors of the previous generation of rocket power research experts.
I came here to learn how to miniaturize nuclear fusion reactors and apply them to power plants.
Everyone deliberately went to the warehouse where the “Flying Dragon” spacecraft was parked to observe.
I saw a spacecraft about three meters high, six meters wide, and more than ten meters long parked in the middle of the wide warehouse. It was similar in shape to a space shuttle, with wings on both sides and a power propulsion engine behind it.
These people are basically their own, so there is nothing to keep when talking.
So after visiting the propulsion engine of the Flying Dragon, Sun Shucai asked: “Everyone, since you can apply nuclear fusion to the spacecraft, does that mean that this thing can be applied to the Hong bomber?”
Zhang Xin has always been reluctant to interrupt too much on this kind of sensitive topic, so he looked at Yu Hanrong.
Yu Hanrong received the signal from Zhang Xin and said: “In theory, it is indeed possible, and it can even be said that if the military needs it, we can even produce strategic hong bombers here, but if we also want to use nuclear fusion power for propulsion. The engine may be a bit difficult, but nuclear fission reactors can be used to power the aircraft.”
Sun Shucai and a few people around looked at each other, sighed helplessly, and said, “Everyone, we are here to ask for instruction. Why can’t we turn the energy generated by nuclear fusion into the power we need? .”
After hearing this, Zhao Yun knew their difficulties and asked, “Are you unable to find materials that can withstand high temperatures?”
Sun Shucai said: “It’s true. We got the data you guys gave us, but when we converted nuclear energy into other energy, we ran into a problem. At present, we found that no material can hold up to tens of millions. The temperature is high in degrees Celsius, so our research was stalled for a while, until we saw that you actually applied the nuclear fusion power propulsion engine to the aerospacecraft, we knew that you must have found a solution.”
Zhao Yunchang smiled bitterly and said: “In fact, we were just lucky. We found this kind of metal that can withstand high temperatures from a meteorite from outside the sky. Then we used special methods to make a metal that can withstand hundreds of millions of degrees of high temperature. Alloy, now almost all the parts above are made of this metal alloy.”
Zhao Yun pointed to the Flying Dragon.
“Then is this alloy still available?”
Zhang Xin shook his head and said: “After finishing this spacecraft, there is almost nothing left, but we can be sure that this high-temperature resistant metal does come from outer space, so we are thinking of ways to go to other stars in space. See if you can find similar metals.”
Sun Shucai frowned and asked, “Can’t this kind of metal be artificially synthesized?”
Zhang Xin said: “It is impossible to synthesize. UU reading www.uukanshu.com because this element is not found on the earth at all, we just call it super metal.”
Perhaps to show that there is really little left of this super alloy, Zhang Xin deliberately brought everyone to the warehouse where the super alloy is placed. There really is not much left, but the materials for the parts that can withstand high temperatures in the power plant are still enough. use.
Just when Sun Shucai looked at Zhang Xin and wanted to ask for this batch of alloys, Zhao Yunchang said, “I’m afraid it’s useless for you to take back this batch of alloys, because this alloy has a disgusting characteristic, that’s it. You cannot melt the alloy again.”
Sun Shu just thought about it and understood the reason. High temperature resistant alloys will naturally not melt into liquid metal due to heating. If you want to make corresponding parts, you must use a lathe to process them one by one. Parts.
However, it is precisely because of this that it has become even more impossible. A power propulsion engine involves more than tens of thousands of parts. It is too costly to make a lathe by hand.
At present, Huaxia does not have too much time. After all, there is an “ambitionist” next to it. It always blocks Huaxia with technology. If the time is delayed, it is inevitable that some variables will not appear in the future.
