After dinner, Liu Feng returned to school for a while and drew two sketches. Then he said goodbye to Huada’s familiar friends on the phone, and then sat in the car that had been prepared at the door.

"Where are we going now?"

While driving the car on the road, Geng Tang asked.

Liu Feng: "Just go to the Institute of Power, well, go and be a master!"

Geng Tang didn't know that Academician Jin Donghan gave Liu Feng a master-level difficulty question. He thought that the guy around him was making another joke. He shook his head helplessly and said with a smile: "Master? If you are not considered a master with your current academic status, who else can be considered a master?"

Liu Feng smiled and said nothing.

Of course he would not say that he was just trying to solve the problems assigned by Academician Jin, not to mention that this guy would not understand even after saying this.

Of course, after most of the day of thinking, he had generally had two vague ideas about how to solve the antimatter impulse motivation, but it was not very perfect. At this time, it was just for verification from Academician Jin.

It's hard to say that they can design a new antimatter impulse motivation tonight to make up for the last shortcoming of the future Star Ocean business.

After about two hours of driving, Liu Feng finally arrived at the Institute of Engineering Power Research.

Because many experiments require people to stay, this institute will naturally not be closed at night.

After settling Zhuo Tingting and then asking Geng Tang to go back first, Liu Feng walked into the main building of the institute alone and found Academician Jin Donghan who was still doing the experiment...

After the official Chinese news spokesperson officially announced China's space program and two other major measures, it was not only domestic media and netizens who caused a sensation, but also attracted widespread attention around the world.

Especially the anti-China media, which has always liked to make trouble the most, reported this news with vigilant and inducement phrases, raising the Chinese threat theory to a life-and-death situation.

Be wary that the Chinese will challenge the world hegemony!

Danger! The Chinese people kicked off the space race!

The Chinese will build Mars into their second home, and the Western world will lose everything from now on!

...

At the same time, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Washington Command Center.

Located in the office of the director on the highest level, Algernon, sitting on an office chair, looked at the post in his hand and frowned into the word "Chuan".

After a while, he threw the post in his hand onto his desk and said.

“This is definitely not good news.”

"We know very well how well they develop in terms of motivation, whether it's cars, aircraft or rocket engines, they're behind us for decades, and you don't have to worry about it."

The person who spoke was Professor Kenneth, a rocket expert at Stanford University. In addition to being a professor, he was also the director of the Goddard Space Flight Center, a member of the Executive Committee of the M-National Space Administration, and an academician of the M-National National Academy of Engineering.

Although he did not learn from the newspaper, he still knew something about this matter.

Just a few hours ago, China announced the outline of their Centennial Exhibition of the Aerospace Industry, and rarely announced the preparations for the development of a controlled nuclear fusion-powered spacecraft, and will log on to Mars to build a base on Mars, and finally achieve the purpose of transforming Mars into immigrants to Mars.

Because of the huge advantages of Chinese people in controlled nuclear fusion, the outside world is generally worried that Chinese people will drive new spacecraft and finally gain an advantage in seizing Mars. However, Professor Kenneth, who truly understands how difficult it is to achieve controllable nuclear fusion motors, is very clear that these worries are completely redundant.

At least, he believes that within 10 years, Chinese people will never want to develop this new motivation. Even the electric propulsion plasma engine that seems to be easier to achieve will not be able to develop it in just a few years.

What's more, once M countries obtain the technology of controlled nuclear fusion, with their deep accumulation of decades ahead of China in aerospace technology, they will definitely be able to leave China behind nine streets!

At that time, who will first hit Mars, maybe!

"No, what I worry about is never the ambitious Mars plan of the Chinese people," put down the coffee cup in his hand, and Algeron leaned on the office chair, pressed his index finger on the middle of his eyebrows, "but the people from the Energy Bureau and the Congressional Budget Committee!"

Since China launched a scientific research competition for controlled nuclear fusion, M country has also quickly launched its own national controlled fusion project, and has also carried out the construction of tokamak devices and inertial constraint nuclear fusion devices. The funds invested successively have reached tens of billions of dollars.

However, this is not enough. When the Chinese people first announced the successful ignition of the controllable nuclear fusion demonstration reactor at the beginning of the year, Congress once again allocated tens of billions of dollars of funds. Most of this was actually given to China as the "entry fee"?!

For some reason, Algeron felt something was wrong.

Do Chinese people really teach them all their technology under pressure?

Even so, after learning the technology, how long will it take for M country to actually build a nuclear fusion reactor?

All of this has always been a big question in his heart, but he is just the director of Nasa, not the director of the Energy Bureau, so he can only worry nonsense!

Moreover, this time, the ambitious space plan of the Chinese people will undoubtedly have a severe impact on their Nasa. They must need more scientific research funds because they also need a huge Mars immigration plan!

However, scientific research funds are not infinite. No country can carry out two-level projects at the same time while maintaining stable fiscal operation. Whether it is controllable fusion or Mars, M countries cannot give up.

However, until now, there are not only a few departments specially established for "moon landing", nor are there only the aerospace project "moon landing". It can be foreseeable that once Congress also decides to launch the Mars plan, it will definitely re-examine the existing aerospace research projects and budgets, and cut off some not-so-urgent projects.

For example, typical deep space probes, comet probes, extraterrestrial planet observations, etc., to ensure the smooth implementation of the Mars plan.

At that time, how should we arrange so many projects and so many people?

Moreover, many projects have reached a critical period. Could it be that they will give up and fail?

For example, their comet probe Depth Impact has almost completed 90% of the construction work, and even the firing plan has been planned. But now it seems that it is not that important compared to the Mars login plan. With the temper of the congressman, it is very likely that it will be postponed until after the Mars plan is completed, and perhaps even there will never be a chance to pick up the plan again.

This is obviously not a pleasant thing for Algeron, but it is almost certain to have arisen.

He could completely imagine that scene, how disappointed many colleagues would be with him, the director of the General Aerospace Administration, when facing layoffs or transformation...

Perhaps, could he think of the best of both worlds?

Just as Algeron was flipping through the post in a heavy mood, the hand that was flipping through the newspaper suddenly stopped.

His eyes were directly locked on the column of the appointment of Liu Feng by the official Chinese spokesperson of the newspaper.

"Chief of Controllable Nuclear Fusion Engineering, General Consultant of China Aerospace Engineering, Chief Engineer of Mars Project..."

He was muttering something, and when he thought of something, his voice gradually became excited.

"Why can't I?"

Throwing away the newspaper in his hand, Algernon suddenly stood up from the office chair, walking around the office behind his back, while speaking excitedly.

"That's right, we will be combined with the controllable nuclear fusion project for the time being. While studying the reactor, we will conduct miniaturization research directly and combine it with the electric push plasma motivation, so that we will not waste additional funds and manpower! We can completely combine these two concepts!"

"Man, a good idea, but..." Kenneth reminded him with a strange look on his face, "Not to mention whether the Energy Bureau will agree with our idea of ​​borrowing chickens to lay eggs. Even if we agree, can we really be sure that they can solve the miniaturization of controlled nuclear fusion? What will we use to send our Mars login spacecraft into space? My suggestion is to first develop chemical-powered rockets, and when they really solve controlled nuclear fusion, we will start the Mar-controlled nuclear fusion powered spacecraft."

Stopped, Algeron looked at Professor Kenneth with a smile.

"Man, of course I know this may not be achieved in a short period of time. However, it is precisely because of this period of buffering that we can use the limited funds first on other projects, and after these projects are settled, we will start to advance our Mars login plan until the controlled nuclear fusion research is successful. Wouldn't that be right?"

"After all, whether it is our nationals or the men of Congress, they want nothing more than what we are doing and we can do. No one will care about how we do it."

Professor Kenneth was stunned for a long time before he slowly spoke: "Maybe, you are right."

"Actually, I'm just making the worst plans," Algeron smiled optimistically. "You don't have to worry, what if the men in Congress are not so stingy this time, and support our nasa just like they support controlled nuclear fusion?"

...

No matter how worried the foreign organizations represented by Nasa are, or how surprised the media and the melon-eating crowds are, Professor Jin Donghan, who is standing in the laboratory of the Institute of Dynamics, was completely shocked by Liu Feng's evil talent.

At this moment, what was placed in front of him was still a sketch.

However, unlike the last time, with the same pulse energy motivation, the design idea this time is even more unique and more amazing.

Most of the energy generated by antimatter bombs is converted into high-energy gamma rays with high-energy mesons, and it is difficult to be constrained. He thought that Liu Feng was most likely to think of directly opening a new spacecraft disc energy-absorbing material.

Of course, if this is the case, he will at most admit that Liu Feng is a master of materials science, but he has nothing to do with other masters.

However, the fact is that in addition to this method just now, Liu Feng actually found a new method that is cheaper and more efficient!

"You guy," Jin Donghan sighed, "I really want to knock on your brain and take a good look. What is the difference between the genius' brain and the ordinary people."

However, this kind of thought can only be an idea. He is not the first person to have such an idea, and he will definitely not be the last one.

"How did you think of this method?"

How did he think of this method? Can he say that he actually thought of it when eating pig's hooves?

"Actually, there are still many imperfections," Liu Feng smiled embarrassedly, "It was also changed from Professor Xu's idea of ​​using an atomic bomb at the beginning. You are the master of dynamic engineering and are about to ask you for advice."

Jin Donghan shook his head.

It is no big deal to think of atomic bomb explosions to replace them with antimatter explosions, but it is really a way to think of applying a layer of uranium 235 on the propulsion disk and then relying on a small amount of positive and antimatter annihilation to generate nuclear fission on the uranium 235 coating on the propulsion disk to release energy and use it to propel the spacecraft forward. That is really something that only geniuses and masters can think of.

Although in essence, this method still uses the energy generated by nuclear fission as a driving force, and antimatter has become a means of induction rather than a main force, there is no doubt that this method not only avoids the embarrassment of using atomic bombs, but also avoids the loss of energy loss of antimatter annihilation of a large amount of gamma ray energy, and is easy to collect energy. It can also set up an ionization chamber on the push plate, ionizing the collected energy to form plasma, and use these plasmas to create some Hall propulsion units and integrate them behind the ionization chamber.

Through special design, these Hall propulsion units can more efficiently process high-temperature plasmas in the ionization chamber and spray them out of the engine to increase the thrust of the propulsion disk.

According to his estimate, using this method to add the spacecraft can at least achieve 50% of the thrust added directly with antimatter, while the efficiency of energy usage can reach more than 3 times the increase by antimatter "explosion", which is completely sufficient for the spacecraft to use.

Although there seem to be many details that need to be improved, what they provide is just an idea or a design plan? The specific detailed design drawings cannot be completed by one person. Otherwise, what is the need for such a huge research institute?

"Anyway, I have nothing to say. Even if it was me, I wouldn't be able to do this to your level."

However, Liu Feng waved his hand: "Where, Academician Jin, you don't have to be polite to me, I sincerely ask you for advice."

Jin Donghan: “…”

consult?

What else should I ask for?

I think you came here to smash the situation!
