Chapter 346 Unique and Innovative Rocket Engine

Even Ning Chen himself sometimes couldn't control his emotions.

However, Ning Chen still calmly said to the others:

"Being able to achieve today's experimental phenomena is inseparable from our continuous accumulation of superconducting theory. Of course, the current experiments are far from over. For example, I need to continue to do two more experiments on the complete conductivity of matter to be able to accurately This confirms the complete conductivity of this substance."

Ning Chen tactfully expressed his thoughts that now is not the time to celebrate. After hearing Ning Chen's words, everyone suddenly understood what Ning Chen wanted to express.

"Teacher Ning, let's go back and continue the experiment now."

After several days, Ning Chen and others finally completed all the measurements of this substance.

After detailed measurements, Ning Chen confirmed that this was his ideal superconductor. The superconducting critical temperature reached as high as 220K, making it the superconductor with the highest superconducting critical temperature under normal pressure known today.

In addition, this material also has very good strength and lightness, far stronger than all other superconductors, and even as good as some materials specially used in the aerospace field.

After confirming these test results, Ning Chen has full confidence in this material and knows that this material will have a very broad application space in the future.

The aerospace field will be one of its main application areas, but it will not be its only application area. In the future, this new superconducting material will have application value in many aspects.

Because the structure of this material is relatively complex, it is troublesome to name it based on its structure. Ning Chen decided to call it "220K superconducting material" directly.

Ning Chen called everyone together and explained his future plans for this project.

"Now we have successfully broken through the preparation process of 220k superconducting materials, but if we want to apply it, we still need to continue to optimize its preparation process, improve its preparation efficiency, and reduce its preparation cost. On the other hand, We also need to study the wire strip preparation process of this material to ensure that it can be prepared into complete wires, coils, cables and other materials..."

This is a necessary stage for superconducting materials from synthesis to application. Ning Chen will naturally attach great importance to the research of these technologies.

After arranging these tasks, Ning Chen reported the progress of his work to the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Yue Jiafeng and others were also shocked when they learned that Ning Chen's experimental team had developed such a powerful superconducting material.

After all, this is the superconductor with the highest superconducting critical temperature at room temperature known in the world, and in addition, it also has many other outstanding properties.

"Professor Ning, what applications do you think this new superconducting material has?"

In fact, Yue Jiafeng already had some ideas in his mind at this time, but Yue Jiafeng still wanted to hear Ning Chen's opinion first.

"The application space of this new type of superconducting material is still very wide. Whether it is used as a wire, a cable, or a coil that generates a magnetic field, it is very suitable. But my original intention of designing this superconducting material is that I hope it can Applied to rockets..."

Listening to Ning Chen's explanation, Yue Jiafeng couldn't help but feel excited.

Before Ning Chen said this, Yue Jiafeng had thought about this direction. What made Yue Jiafeng happy was that Ning Chen also thought about it with him.

"Professor Ning, you said before that your Star Technology would launch a manned moon landing project. I didn't expect that you would be able to achieve such a major breakthrough so quickly. With this technology, our rocket can greatly improve its carrying capacity. , it is entirely possible to meet the standards of the moon landing project.”

"Yes, Academician Yue, I have made detailed calculations on this before, and this plan is definitely feasible. When we continue to complete the follow-up research, we hope to work with the Xiaguo Space Administration to design a solution that is suitable for our The rocket of inner hope.”

"That would be great. With the participation of Xingchen Technology, the project development time of the manned moon landing project will be greatly shortened."

After chatting with Yue Jiafeng about the 220K new superconducting material, Ning Chen returned to the laboratory and continued the next research with the team members.

The subsequent research was generally relatively smooth. According to the experimental plan set by Ning Chen, everyone achieved technological breakthroughs step by step and successfully conquered the research work on wire strips of this 220K superconducting material.

By this time, Ning Chen felt that he could start designing a new rocket system.

In the evening, Ning Chen returned to his room and prepared to start designing a new generation of rocket engine.

This is Ning Chen's favorite way to solve problems. Although there are no experimental props for reference in the study room, to Ning Chen, this place is as vast as the universe.

Because in such an atmosphere, Ning Chen could easily construct various scenarios in his mind to help himself solve various complex problems.

Soon, Ning Chen determined the core direction of the design and began to fill in specific design details.

Time passed quietly, and unknowingly, Ning Chen continued to improve his design, and the new rocket engine design gradually appeared in the software.

In fact, for Ning Chen, this is a very challenging job, because Ning Chen has just been exposed to rocket engines for a short time. Being able to design a rocket engine that successfully goes to space is already a very rare thing. .

There is a huge gap between going to space and going to the moon, which generally requires at least a dozen or even dozens of generations of technological innovation.

Fortunately, Ning Chen had just achieved a milestone technological breakthrough in superconducting materials, giving him the ability to make breakthroughs in aerospace technology in a short period of time.

After several days of intense work, Ning Chen finally completed his new rocket engine design.

In this plan, Ning Chen added a lot of superconducting technology, allowing this generation of rocket engines to achieve a leap that is close to "overtaking on a curve".

Among them, the superconducting coil added by Ning Chen to the rocket engine can generate a very huge magnetic field and provide greater thrust for the rocket engine.

The entire superconducting coil can theoretically generate a huge current of hundreds of thousands of amperes, thereby generating a strong magnetic field, which can greatly reduce rocket energy consumption and heat generation, and improve energy utilization efficiency.

On the other hand, because this new 220K superconducting material is very light, the weight reduction after replacing the entire conductive circuit is considerable.

Of course, this design is not without its shortcomings, that is, the entire conductive line must be kept within a suitable temperature range, otherwise, the operation of the rocket engine will be extremely seriously affected.

Fortunately, Ning Chen has enough experience in maintaining superconducting lines, and has designed multiple protection devices to ensure that the superconducting lines will not be affected by the external environment.

After completing the design work, Ning Chen said silently in his mind:

"Ash Ketchum!"

【Here you are, Master】

"Help me use your modeling processing capabilities to verify the feasibility of my design plan."

[Okay, Xiaozhi has received the task from the master and is evaluating the feasibility of this rocket engine design for the master...]

After receiving the task assigned by Ning Chen, Xiaozhi immediately read the design model in Ning Chen's computer and simulated the real environment to test Ning Chen's plan.

In order to enable Xiaozhi to complete the modeling process faster and better, Ning Chen shared part of his brainpower with Xiaozhi.

This is an ability that Ning Chen accidentally discovered recently. Because Ning Chen and Xiao Zhi have an interactive channel, in theory, Ning Chen and Xiao Zhi can share their abilities with each other.

After training, Ning Chen can now use this ability more skillfully, as if he has become one with this artificial intelligence.

A few minutes later, Xiaozhi gave Ning Chen's evaluation results of the rocket engine system.

Xiaozhi's overall assessment of it is quite good. Of course, Xiaozhi also gave some other opinions on some of the details.

Ning Chen carefully browsed through the opinions given by Xiao Zhi. Regarding some of the differences, Ning Chen chose to continue to stick to his own opinions, but at the same time, Ning Chen also accepted some of the suggestions given by Xiao Zhi.

After modifying the plan, Ning Chen tested the feasibility of the plan again, and this time the test results made Ning Chen very satisfied.

"Judging from the performance of this rocket engine...as long as we choose a suitable launch site, we can completely achieve the goal of manned moon landing. Our space launch site in Zibei is a very suitable location."

As for the rocket launch site for the manned moon landing project, Ning Chen will definitely not choose the Shengzhou space launch site. After all, this is just an experimental space launch site. In addition to being relatively close to the headquarters of Xingchen Technology, There aren't many advantages.

Zibei's space launch site, because of its latitude advantage, can allow the rocket to better utilize the thrust brought by the Blue Star's rotation, and exert more powerful actual performance while the rocket engine remains unchanged.

After confirming the calculation results, Ning Chen suddenly became excited, and he could already see the hope of the Xia people successfully landing on the moon.

In the previous life, Ning Chen had not had the opportunity to see such a vision with his own eyes, but in this life, Ning Chen very much hoped that through his own efforts, this exciting moment would appear in advance.

With the existence of the space anti-missile system, Ning Chen believed that no one would dare to make any small moves this time. All they had to fight against were various laws of physics.

After sorting out the plan, Ning Chen encrypted it and sent it to Yue Jiafeng, hoping that Yue Jiafeng could ask experts from the Xiaguo Space Administration to help him further evaluate the plan.

Although Ning Chen was very confident in the plan he designed, after all, the rocket launch location was not at the Xingchen Technology Space Launch Site, and internal experts from Xia Guo Space Administration knew more about many details.

After receiving the rocket engine plan from Ning Chen, Yue Jiafeng took it very seriously and immediately began to analyze it carefully.

"Professor Ning... actually designed the rocket engine plan for manned landing on the moon so quickly... and it uses a lot of cutting-edge superconducting material technology. It is really innovative..."

Even Yue Jiafeng was not sure how feasible Ning Chen's plan was, but relying on Yue Jiafeng's trust in Ning Chen, Yue Jiafeng knew that Ning Chen must have been strict before submitting the plan to him. This plan has been verified.

"By the way, can't we use the quantum cloud network of Xingchen Technology to verify the theoretical feasibility of this set? Let's verify it first."

The Chinese Academy of Sciences is connected to the quantum cloud network within Star Technology, and can use all functions except Xiaozhi. Especially in modeling processing, it has the only simulation level in the world.

Soon, Yue Jiafeng got the results of the simulation.

"Sure enough... at least in theory, this plan is completely feasible, and it even leaves a certain amount of redundancy in power. Even compared to Millikin's original moon landing technology, this technology is even more powerful. More mature and advanced." Yue Jiafeng sighed.

After a preliminary evaluation of the plan, Yue Jiafeng transferred the plan to the Xiaguo Space Administration as Ning Chen said.

Unsurprisingly, Xia State Space Administration also found Ning Chen's plan to be very amazing, and even surpassed Xia State Space Administration's level in some technical aspects.

"It's really hard to believe that Xingchen Technology has developed such a mature manned moon landing rocket program not long after entering the aerospace field... Professor Ning's scientific and technological capabilities are really unfathomable... "

At this moment, Xia Guo Space Agency's research on the manned moon landing project has just entered the early stages. There is still a long way to go before this project can be truly launched.

But when they saw Ning Chen's plan, they felt that this might be something they could do in the next few years.

After some discussion, they all hoped that Ning Chen could come to Xia Guo Space Agency in person to discuss some details of this project.

After receiving feedback from Xia Guo Space Administration, Yue Jiafeng conveyed their thoughts to Ning Chen.

"Professor Ning, Xia Guo Space Agency hopes that you can go to their headquarters, because there are many issues that need to be explained clearly in person. Of course, if it is not convenient for you, Professor Ning, they are also willing to go to Shengzhou to ask you consult."
