Chapter 357 Battleship VS Aircraft Carrier(1/2)
It is absolutely impossible to dismount.
Not to mention that they had already announced the news to the world, the elders even invited leaders of several friendly countries to attend the aircraft carrier handover ceremony. The test launch of electromagnetic weapons on board is another highlight of aircraft carrier handover!
Therefore, if there is no sufficient reason to convince people, the electromagnetic gun will definitely not be cancelled, and they cannot afford to lose this face!
But what should I do?
Academician Ma sighed: "Professor Liu, at this point, you comrades who are in the War of Refusal can only play a role. What do you think?"
Liu Feng seemed to understand what Academician Ma meant: "This...is not good. They came all the way just to see the legendary electromagnetic weapon that is comparable to a small atomic bomb. How can we fool them?"
Academician Ma curled his lips and thought to himself that you were a big fool. So far, I don’t know how many people have been stimulated by you and are still studying controlled nuclear fusion!
"Or why don't you come up with an idea? I'll listen to you!"
"Cough cough," Liu Feng could only cough twice helplessly, and had to agree with Academician Ma's opinion, "Well, I'll ask the comrades of Zhan Hu to see if they take over?"
...
In mid-March, grass grows and warblers fly.
Just the day before the test of the electromagnetic catapult began, Liu Feng came to the Naval Engineering University in advance at the request of Academician Ma, followed by three apprentices.
This time, the person who came to greet him was President Lian Hanfei of the Naval Engineering University.
Like Academician Ma, President Lian is also an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and is also a senator and major general at the last Diaoyutai State Guesthouse Conference.
The two had some communication when they were in the State Guesthouse, and they were familiar with each other.
"Welcome, Professor Liu! I heard the magpies screaming early this morning, and I knew it was you who was coming."
With a hearty laugh, Principal stretched out his right hand, shook Liu Feng with friendly sternly, and then looked at the apprentices beside him.
"New face, is this your student?"
"That's right, Zhou Yue, Fei Xiujin, Du Hong," Liu Feng pointed at the three apprentices in turn with his right hand, and introduced with a smile, "I will bring my newly acquired graduate student out to the market."
"Welcome, Professor Liu's high school student is also an honor for our school to come to the University of Ocean Technology." Principal Lian stretched out his hand and shook hands with several people with a smile.
"Hello, Academician Lian!"
The three of them were quite flattered. If it were the past, how could they have such an opportunity to have close contact with an academician?
This is all due to their awesome mentor!
The look at Liu Feng became more respectful.
The three of them did not dare to neglect them and respectfully stepped forward to shake hands with Principal Lian.
After saying a few simple greetings, the principal and Liu Feng looked at each other, turned around and ordered the assistant beside him:
"Wang Feng, you should take Professor Liu's high school to our school first. I have something to discuss with Professor Liu."
"Three, please come with me..."
Facing the three apprentices' gazes asking for verification, Liu Feng nodded affirmatively.
Before coming to the University of Ocean Technology, Academician Ma had already communicated with Liu Feng in advance, so he did not feel abrupt at this moment.
After "sending" the "oil bottle" beside him, the two walked towards the School of Electrochemical Engineering while talking.
"Professor Liu, I don't know much about antimatter, but the professors in our school unanimously agree that if you take out your antimatter production technology, at least another explosive prize will definitely not be able to escape."
"Where are," Liu Feng said modestly, "You really look down on me."
"What are you looking at? Who has won the explosives award in our country besides you? Who is more qualified to win the explosives award?"
Principal Lian laughed, paused for a moment, and said in a serious tone,
"Actually, after listening to your opinions at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse last time, we have been thinking about how to keep pace with the times and reform the school to cope with the development of the situation. After all, our school belongs to the Navy, and many disciplines are related to the Navy. Once the interstellar era comes, most majors will lose their research significance... However, we really have no research on antimatter, so we want to consult you, what do you think we should do about this direction?"
Liu Feng was slightly stunned. This problem is a big problem!
However, he fully understood the principal's meaning, and as the culprit that the school had to carry out "reform", he was not easy to refuse.
After thinking about Principal Lian’s question for a few seconds, he then spoke:
"I don't know how to reform it specifically, but I have some simple opinions on the general direction of reform."
"Please tell me." Principal Lian stretched out his hand.
Seeing the other party looking at listening with a scrupulous look, Liu Feng paused and continued,
"I personally think that in many aspects, the Navy and the future space force are exactly the same. There is no need to make major adjustments in related majors such as military command and logistics arrangements. You are an expert, so I won't show off my skills."
Indeed, antimatter technology has had a subversive impact on the future development of the naval, but for the Naval Engineering University, except for technology, the impact of other professional categories is not as great as imagined. Military command and logistics will always keep pace with the times and will not be abandoned because of the development of technology. Even if there is no naval in the future, the Naval Engineering University can be completely transformed into the Space Force Engineering University.
Even the principal nodded in this regard.
"Technically speaking, the most profound impact of antimatter technology on our Ocean Engineering University is mainly power engineering and ship engineering.
Compared with traditional naval ships based on antimatter power, they are incomparable, and the ship system layout is naturally completely different.
The largest platform of the Navy is nothing more than an aircraft carrier. However, even an aircraft carrier is limited by a series of factors such as power, at most it is only a few football fields, and it only accommodates thousands of crew members;
And the future spacecraft will develop into space fortresses rather than spacecraft…”
Hearing this, Academician Lian frowned and showed a surprised expression.
"Professor Liu, what do you mean is that the future development trend of spacecraft will be based on the big ones?"
"It's not that the bigger the better, but that it will definitely become larger than an aircraft carrier!"
Liu Feng shook his head and explained seriously,
"From the current antimatter technology, we cannot make spacecraft 'short and concise'; and from the economic effect, the bigger the spacecraft, the more economic it is..."
It is completely different from traditional chemical-powered rockets. If an antimatter engine wants to form a strong antithrust, it must have a tail nozzle that is hundreds of meters or even thousands of meters long;
Because the particle beam core engine directly annihilates the positive and antimatter one-to-one, and then controls the charged dions with a magnetic field and sprays them directly from the nozzle, since the movement speed of these pons is close to the speed of light, the spacecraft must be built very long...
And in terms of efficiency, the larger the things, the more energy it saves, which is consistent with the larger the transport ships built on the earth.
In the consciousness of Academician Lian and others, spacecraft in the future interstellar era should generally be like in movies and TV series, with a size and size like ordinary aircraft. Compared with naval warships, they are definitely far inferior in size and tonnage.
However, Liu Feng's meaning was completely opposite to their expectations!
After explanation, I have to admit that they are professional!
At this moment, the principal was very glad that he could know Professor Liu and had the opportunity to listen to his opinions. Otherwise, the reform they decided to make might become a laughing stock...
In fact, Liu Feng also hopes to build the future spacecraft as big as the planes on Earth. After all, the smaller the thing, the more flexible it is, and can meet the needs of various special conditions.
However, ideals and reality often have a certain distance. Until now, even the "spacecraft" powered by chemical fuels is often dozens or hundreds of meters long. The reason why everyone has the illusion of being relatively "small" is entirely because they are confused by what they see in front of them!
After all, the return capsule or space station that can be used is so big that it completely ignores the rocket used to carry these things as the big head of the entire "spacecraft"...
But Liu Feng felt that this day in the future would always come, and it was just a matter of time.
For example, aerospace ships similar to aircraft carriers, the entire platform can use antimatter as power, while small spacecraft like aircraft can be completely replaced with other energy sources as power. This is also the fundamental reason why he believes that the future J-20-type Earth fighter jets will have no use at all.
"It's better to listen to your words than to read for ten years." Principal Lian sighed.
Liu Feng gave them the advice from the University of Ocean Technology, but I don’t know how much time they have saved them in their exploration!
After pausing for a moment, he said embarrassedly:
"Professor Liu, I have another unhappy request."
Liu Feng said curiously: "You said."
"I would like to ask you to teach us what we should do about the future antimatter technology and the future interstellar era..."
Liu Feng was stunned for a moment, but nodded happily: "No problem, I have no choice but to do so. When is it?"
"You see, it's 7 o'clock tonight?"
"7 o'clock? No problem!"
...
So, after dinner, Liu Feng returned to the accommodation room and changed his clothes and went out again.
The Naval Engineering University itself belongs to the military category, so its confidentiality is naturally needless to say. Liu Feng doesn’t have to worry about leaking secrets at all. What’s more, most of the subjects of this class were experts who attended the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse last time. A small number of them were senior professors of the military system and had also undergone strict political review.
Although these people are all engineering professors and may be different from Liu Feng in their professional fields, this does not affect anything, because Liu Feng himself is a versatile talent, and it is precisely because of this that he can help Academician Ma Mingwei improve the manufacturing of electromagnetic catapults.
Although it was a lecture that he agreed to temporarily and had not made much preparations before, it was not difficult for Liu Feng.
Antimatter technology itself is his main field, and its influence has been calculated in his mind for a long time. This lecture itself is popularized and will not involve specific technical indicators.
Seeing the experts who walked into the conference room one after another, including Academician Ma Mingwei, the University of Ocean Engineering had at least 5 academicians of the Academy of Engineering!
Liu Feng also has to admire the strength of his school. At least it is much better than their Chemical Engineering University. After all, he has a lot of plans. Including him, there are only three academician-level big shots at the Beijing University of Chemical Engineering.
Finally, at the signing of Principal Lian, everyone had arrived.
So, Liu Feng, who was standing in front of the podium, simply tried the microphone, confirmed that the equipment was normal, and started his speech.
The core content of the speech is to explain in popular language what kind of form antimatter technology and spacecraft based on antimatter dynamics will be, and what impact these things have on future dynamics and comprehensive ship layout.
It was just because of accumulation and development, and even PPT was not used. Just relying on a whiteboard and a pen, Liu Feng started to speak vividly.
However, no matter how popular science is, there must be certain knowledge points involved. Therefore, the first half is fine, but in the second half, in order to make his theory look more convincing and more obvious, Liu Feng still couldn't help but write a few lines of formulas on the whiteboard.
To be continued...
