Chapter 436: Musk's National Aerospace Era
Country M, Washington White House.
Almost the afternoon of the second day after Liu Feng submitted his paper, his paper was packaged and downloaded into a dedicated computer. Soon, it was passed by the experts of the review committee and wrote a report, signed their name, attached to the beginning of the paper.
Finally, it was placed on President Ao Guanhai's table.
In the office, when he heard that it was Liu Feng again, Ao Guanhai became bad in an instant.
Why is this kid a little restless?
Every time I hear this guy's news, it will definitely not be a good thing for M Country.
Of course, this time is no exception.
What do you mean is that the Chinese people have prepared, or have made phased progress, and are studying new aerospace engines?
While looking at the report in his hand and listening to the statements of CIA Director Weber, Ao Guanhai frowned.
That's right, it's a general-purpose engine with pulse energy. Weber nodded, but his expression was a little unnatural.
It seems that every time the information is revealed on his own initiative, he only knows that as the most powerful intelligence organization on earth, it is undoubtedly quite incompetent. As its leader, how can he be worthy of the country and the taxpayers?
He claimed to be a cunning man, but he was defeated repeatedly in Liu Feng, a young man who was less than 23 years old, and was disappointed. I have to say that there is really no one except Liu Feng.
Firm the bullet.
This time, he finally took the lead in delivering the information to the president. Otherwise, he would have been unable to sit steadily.
I looked at the report in my hand carefully, for fear that something had been missed.
Although he may not necessarily understand what a pulse energy engine is, this does not mean that he is stupid.
As we all know, China's aerospace industry has always been troubled by heart disease, especially in the aviation field. Although Chinese people have been able to independently design and build the most advanced stealth fighter jets, they have always been restricted by large thrust engines, either kidney deficiency or short legs. If it were not for importing some engines from Maoxiong Kingdom to make up for it, it would be difficult to say that they could support the needs of a territorial power of 9.6 million square kilometers.
In recent years, although Chinese people have worked hard and achieved remarkable results, some engines can barely support the pace of modern kying. In general, they are still at least 30 years away from their country!
He has always been proud of this. Our M Emperor is the world's number one, and he is able to dominate the whole world with the eagle armed by these advanced engines!
But now, Chinese people don’t use traditional engines anymore. They actually took a different approach and used pulse energy engines. Did they see the opportunity to overtake on the curve?
Thinking of this, Ao Guanhai, who was looking through the report, couldn't help but tighten his hands.
Although he didn't understand any engine technology at all, he still clearly saw something from the analysis of experts - this pulse energy engine is quite awesome!
That's right, it's not very awesome!
According to the experts' reports, the world's most advanced military aviation engines are naturally produced by them. The F135 manufactured by Platt Whitney is the fourth-generation aircraft engine and is mainly equipped on the F35 series fighter jets.
Even the early models of this engine had a maximum thrust of 18 tons, a thrust-to-weight ratio of more than 10, and all the performances exceeded that of the f119 engine equipped on the f22. It is the strongest in history. The miracle engine in the history of world aviation. Its overall performance has reached the peak of human industry, both in terms of thrust and life, and it has reached its peak!
Moreover, due to the use of the core technology of the f119 engine that was already mature at that time, the latest and most cutting-edge material technology is also adopted. Compared with the f119, the f135 not only has better performance and longer life, but also has the characteristics of easy maintenance;
In addition, after so many years of continuous improvement, the current maximum thrust has exceeded 22 tons, and the thrust-to-weight ratio has reached 12. No military low-bypass engine in the world has more powerful thrust than this!
Compared with f135, the Chinese s15, which still exists in the laboratory, has a maximum design thrust of only 18 tons and a thrust-to-weight ratio of only about 8.5. The gap between the two is quite obvious. Moreover, the Chinese s15 has always been difficult, and I don’t know how many years it will take to succeed!
However, according to the conservative estimates of experts, this new pulse energy engine has a thrust of more than 50 tons! The thrust-weight ratio is also more than 26!
Grandma, what does this mean? It has triggered a dynamic revolution in the aviation field!
Pure black technology!
And not only that, in addition to the aviation field, the entire aerospace field and even ships and submarines are also available.
General
Aoguanhai also knew that aircraft engines were known as the crown of the industrial field. This thing is so expensive and complicated that it is so precious that it is so tight. Don’t talk about whether it can be used in other fields. Even if it can be used, it is definitely a waste of anti-aircraft guns to kill mosquitoes.
And this new engine is actually universal?
In other words, this thing is actually stupid and silly, and its craftsmanship is not very complicated, and of course it is not as expensive as he imagined!
Seeing this, Ao Guanhai took a breath.
Once this thing is made by the Chinese, the air superiority of M country can almost be declared finished.
At this moment, he had the urge to run to the other side of the Pacific Ocean to open the boy's head and see if he was possessed by aliens?
Putting down the report in his hand, Ao Guanhai asked the CIA Director beside him with a serious expression and confirmed:
Are you sure this thing is not the smoke bomb they released, or is it simply a copy of Star Wars to fool us?
After all, according to the usual Chinese nature of urination, such a powerful thing is hidden like a treasure. How could that guy be allowed to publish it so easily?!
Although Ao Guanhai was slandered by some people as the president with the lowest IQ in the history of the country M, because he is a black man, would anyone who can become president be a fool? Those opponents who once underestimated him have long been stepped on by him, and I don’t know where to regret it!
What's more, even if he is stupid, are the hundreds of experts and professors who jointly wrote this report stupid?
It's not that easy to fool him.
After hesitating for a while, Weber explained directly:
This possibility is not ruled out. But in recent years, the top leaders of China have become more and more confident, and their policies have changed very quickly. Many things that they used to be secrets have been released on their own initiative, and they are not afraid that we will know them. From this perspective, they are not necessarily fooling us.
What's more, although the Chinese people hate us deeply, we have to admit that in academics, that guy is actually very ethical. According to our analysis, the development of this kind of engine is very feasible. If it is true that as Liu Feng said, it may not take ten years to make the engine.
Therefore, we dare not bet that this is a fool made by the Chinese people
His right index finger kept tapping on the table, and Ao Guanhai nodded.
Yes, Country M dare not gamble.
In order to maintain the hegemony of M country, even if this thing is fake, they must follow up and find that it is fake before they can truly put it aside. What's more, what Chinese people can do, can't M country people make?
Although M country has faced some difficulties in recent years and its forces in all aspects have also contracted, M country is still the world hegemon and the only superpower on the earth!
Looking at the report, hundreds of experts from dozens of units including CIA Ministry of Defense and Industry Nasa Boeing Lockheed Martin, etc., it suggested that the White House immediately follow up on the joint signature of the pulse engine development. Ao Guanhai directly picked up the pen next to him and signed his name without hesitation.
Then, not only Aoguanhai, but also facing the threat of the Chinese people being very likely to seize the aerospace hegemony of M countries. The proud congressman was even more decisive and almost unanimously approved the president's request to allocate special funds to relevant R&D departments.
Not just the official country of M.
Among the people, a press conference was held immediately afterwards.
When space exploration technology company Elon Musk announced that Spacex's next plan was to prepare to build a new spacecraft and use pulse energy engines as propulsion, the rostrum was in an uproar.
Hasn't Spacex been researching the Falcon Rockets?
New spacecraft? Pulse energy engine?
What the hell is this?
For a moment, both the investors present and the media people watching the fun were incredible by Musk's sudden decision.
Could this guy be crazy?
Many people have even regretted investing in spacex companies. There is such a ceyi who makes decisions by making a decision by slap in the brain. Well, let’s see what this guy says. If it’s really a slap in the brain, it’s time to sell the shares after you go back.
However, in the face of such scrutiny, Musk still seemed quite calm.
He took off his suit and only the light blue shirt left, holding the microphone in his hand, pressing down the pressure gesture first, and then he continued to say:
That's right, we are already working on developing new engines and new spacecraft! Well, many people said, Hi Musk, why are you going crazy? But I can tell everyone with great certainty that we are serious!
The laser pen is clicked on the big screen, and the ppt turns to the next page.
What appears on the screen is a paper hanging on arxiv.
Anyone who is interested has discovered that this paper is a heavyweight paper that has been included in its own scientific journal and is preparing to be published in the next issue. The author of the paper is Liu Feng, the chief designer of the controllable fusion engineering who is in full swing!
Seeing this paper, the audience was in an uproar again, and the voices of discussion spread from the middle to the surroundings.
Even those who were originally disdainful of this press conference couldn't help but look at the ppt more.
After all, this is Liu Feng, recognized as the most awesome scientist in the 21st century!
Even if someone farts casually, someone will ask whether the fart is fragrant or smelly!
At this moment, Professor Kenneth, who was sitting in the corner of the venue, was staring at the name on the screen with a complicated expression.
As the director of the Goddard Space Flight Center and a rocket expert at Stanford University, he shouldn't have attended this venue. However, the relationship between Spacex and Nasa is different after all. In recent years, their Nasa spacecraft have been sent to space by relying on Spacex's Falcon rocket.
Musk personally invited the platform, and it was really hard to refuse Nasa.
To be honest, they may also thank it for its author Liu Feng.
Because, because of these papers, Congress has taken the initiative to increase its funding for the first time!
The various aerospace projects he and Director Algeron racked their brains and tried their best to save were as if they were no longer a burden on the men of Congress, but instead became a hot commodity.
Their nasa actually surpassed the controllable nuclear fusion for the first time and became the eldest son in the hearts of the men!
It has to be said that an engine can actually change the pattern of M-China's aerospace industry. I'm afraid that only Professor Liu Feng and Liu, the owner of the design of this engine, can do it.
However, it is also sad that Liu Feng is even better than the hundreds of experts in their nasa, and the congratulatory men admire foreigners, which is just like this.
On the other side, Musk, standing on the stage, looked through Liu Feng's paper and continued to talk.
There is no doubt that this is a new engine that only geniuses can think of and have the courage to improve.
According to the concept of this paper, we can use various pulse energy as power to make engines or spacecraft into a UFYi similar to the shape of a flying saucer. This design structure allows us to save energy to the greatest extent and generate huge thrust, which can easily send hundreds or thousands of tons of objects into space.
Compared with traditional chemical rockets, the energy utilization rate is increased by 5 to 10 times, and the thrust generated is several times dozens of times. The structure is simpler and the process is not as complicated as imagined! Compared with this engine, the Falcon series rockets we are constantly improving are like toys!
Based on this spacecraft built with amplified engine, we can easily fly away from the earth, carry a large amount of materials, build space stations, explore the universe, or even transform the planet, and carry out interstellar colonization!
In other words, the opportunity for human beings to truly enter the cosmic era is here!
In fact, just a few days ago, Congress had approved the plan of Nasa's United Nations Department of Defense Industry and major aerospace companies to develop this engine, and our Professor Kenneth is one of the executors of this plan.
In view of this, as the leader of the private aerospace industry, we Spacex cannot fall behind!
I believe that in the near future, our new spacecraft will lead us to fly into space, to the moon, to Mars, and to a more distant future! Everyone present, even everyone in the world, will have the opportunity to board our new spacecraft and truly usher in the era of national space! The glorious universe undertaking of human beings officially began with our generation!
I can even assert that this day will come faster than the Nasa's spaceship plan!
Chapter completed!
