Chapter 477

It is Tiangong technology that has made new achievements in materials, which makes their high-energy physics laboratory have a breakthrough in thermonuclear fusion technology, although their controllable nuclear fusion technology is only the most primary technology at this time.

However, Wang Bin, Jin Lao and others believe that with the successful development of the first generation of controllable nuclear fusion technology by Tiangong technology, as long as the construction of this reactor is completed, the next second generation and third generation will be relatively much simpler. After all, everything is difficult at the beginning, and the most important first step has gone out, Then there is a direction for the second and third steps.

In addition, the ion engine technology in the high energy physics laboratory has also made new achievements during this period. The latest ion engine can not only be very small in volume and light in weight, but also the thrust of the largest plasma engine can reach ton level, which is absolutely a historic breakthrough for Tiangong technology.

After all, in the past, the maximum thrust of the plasma thruster developed by their company was only 100 kg. Now, due to the establishment of the high-energy physics laboratory, the thrust of the plasma engine has been increased ten times. The most important thing is that compared with the original plasma thruster of their company, This plasma thruster is not much bigger.

in other words. With this thruster, if their space planes want to sail far in the universe, as long as they combine the previous cold nuclear fusion technology, their space planes will no longer have to worry about fuel. As long as they are in the solar system, their space planes can reach.

Of course, if you want to go farther, it is unrealistic, because even with a ton plasma engine, it will take years or even more for an aerospace plane to reach the outermost planet of the solar system.

It is extremely unrealistic to let the space plane fly out of the solar system, because it is very unrealistic only in terms of the life span of the crew.

Even now, with the genetic agent of Tiangong technology, people who use the genetic agent can reach 150 years at most, which is the maximum value of human theoretical life.

With the highest theoretical speed of the space plane in the universe, I don't want to fly out of the Kuiper belt of the solar system, let alone the Oort nebula.

You should know that even if the aerospace aircraft developed by Tiangong technology is equipped with plasma thrusters, its maximum speed, according to the data, the maximum theoretical speed will not exceed one thousandth of the speed of light, and its acceleration process is very slow.

And when the speed of the space plane reaches the theoretical maximum speed, its internal ionic medium fuel and cold nuclear fusion fuel will also be consumed.

Therefore, it is very difficult to fly further with the existing scientific and technological level of human civilization.

Of course, if the unmanned space probe is used for detection, it will be different. It may take hundreds or even thousands of years to fly out of the solar system.

However, it takes thousands of years to reach the nearest galaxy to the solar system, that is, the adjacent galaxy, at the speed of one thousandth of the speed of light.

Therefore, now neither Wang Bin nor other people of Tiangong technology have thought about how to fly out of the solar system and explore other galaxies, but how to explore other planets in the solar system, establish survival bases on other planets in the solar system, and finally migrate to other planets.

Of course, this does not mean that in the future, their Tiangong technology will not explore other galaxies outside the solar system, but it will not be possible until their plasma thruster technology and controllable nuclear fusion technology are fully mature.

When Wang Bin saw the achievements of his high-energy physics laboratory, he was excited. After all, with tons of plasma medium engine and cold nuclear fusion technology.

Then, if it is installed on their new space plane of Tiangong technology, that is, the phoenix-2 space plane under development, it means that this aircraft has the ability to sail far in the inner circle of the solar system, and it doesn't have to worry too much about fuel.

As for controllable thermonuclear fusion, there is no need to think about it for the time being. After all, even the first experimental nuclear fusion reactor has just begun construction, and it is only the first generation of controllable nuclear fusion technology. In terms of safety, no one knows what it is, so it is doomed that it is impossible to apply this technology to the aerospace field in a short time.

Of course, if Tiangong science and technology establishes a survival base on the moon, or the construction of a super large space station is completed, it is feasible to apply controllable nuclear fusion technology to the space station and the lunar survival base as an energy source.

Of course, this premise still depends on the operation of the experimental reactor after operation.

With Wang Bin's inspection of various laboratories, he was very satisfied with the development of Tiangong technology's major aerospace projects after they were moved to the desert.

After all, being able to make such great achievements in such a short time shows that since moving here. The R & D personnel of Tiangong technology have not been affected.

Of course, as Wang Bin's most concerned second-generation aerospace aircraft project, the progress over this period of time is also very good.

The research and development of the first prototype of phoenix-2 aircraft finally entered the manufacturing stage, and the first prototype was officially formed in the huge workshop of No. 1 aircraft manufacturing workshop on the side of the desert in the expectation of Tiangong technology owners such as Wang Bin. Finally, in the fourth month after Tiangong technology moved to the side of the desert, All the assembly work has been completed and successfully offline.

When the phoenix-2 aircraft successfully went offline and entered the runway of the airport here in the desert, Wang Bin, the aircraft designers and manufacturers who passed the technology and President Qiu and others were very moved.

Because although the data of this phoenix-2 aircraft has been modified many times in the design process, it may be the largest aircraft developed and manufactured by China so far.

Data on this plane.

The captain reached 75 meters and the wingspan was 68 meters.

The maximum takeoff weight is 330 tons.

Maximum flight speed Mach 5.

The maximum flight altitude is 45000 meters.

Economic cruise speed Mach 2.0.

The maximum range is 24000 kilometers.

The minimum takeoff requirement runway length is 3.9 km.

The maximum full load range is 15000 km.

The engine is the four pulse detonation engines newly developed by Tiangong technology. The maximum static thrust of the engine is 25 tons. With such a huge thrust engine, this aircraft can reach ultra-high speed under full load.
