Chapter 1442

"However, as we all know, the thrust of ion engine is very small. It can only be used to slow down, change orbit and direction in a vacuum environment. While most aircraft continue to accelerate in space, chemical rocket propulsion is still used. Of course, there is another electromagnetic drive engine under demonstration, but its possibility of success is not even clear Such as fusion ion engine. "

"If you add a small ion engine to it, it should be able to fly in space, right?" Jiang Yanhai thought and asked.

"If you don't fly for a long time, it's not difficult. For example, it's like our built-in fuel. We can build solid substances and convert them into gases to compress them and spray them out."

"But in this case, the flight time must be limited. And its system will be more complex," Professor Hu said.

"Xiao Jiang, what do you mean by this? It can't fly into space yet." Professor Liu asked with some doubts.

"Er, actually, two professors, you should know very well that according to our current science and technology, needless to say what is still being studied, and what has been successfully studied, in fact, the space shuttle with larger carrying capacity that can fly into space should not be a problem, right?" Jiang Yanhai said.

"Yes," both professors nodded.

Russian and American space shuttles can fly for decades. Now they can naturally launch larger space shuttles or rockets. This is not a problem.

"Then I have a question. If we put an aircraft carrier into space, the space station in space is not as small as it is now, but the same size as the aircraft carrier, or even larger than the size of the aircraft carrier. If there are permanent pilots and a new generation of phantom in space, in theory, it can naturally reach the world at a faster speed." Jiang Yanhai spoke out his ideas.

He really just came up with this idea. As for whether it is feasible or not, who knows?

In fact, this is not a new statement. It is the same as the large space stations in countless games, but there are more problems with these things. Apart from anything else, the construction and operation of the whole space station alone will consume huge human and material resources.

In terms of the current human carrying capacity and cost, we can't afford to play.

The two professors looked at each other, and then Professor Liu said reluctantly, "Xiao Jiang, I know you are talking about the future. Maybe we can achieve it in a few decades, but in fact, we are talking about the current situation. For some reasons, you know, we must at least take an absolute lead in military affairs."

Jiang Yanhai nodded, "well, it seems that I really think too much, but in terms of the two current situations, I support Professor Hu."

"You little fellow! Did you talk about friendship? Did we know each other first?" Professor Liu immediately said with some depression.

"Professor Liu, don't worry." Jiang Yanhai couldn't help laughing and said.

"I'm not in a hurry. Although our current scientific research funds are sufficient, we don't have so much strength to equip so many fighters, and there are J20. Now the situation of J20 is very embarrassing. Won't you get off the horse soon?"

"Why do you dismount? You can export it." Jiang Yanhai quickly opened his mouth.

"What you said is light." Professor Liu rolled his eyes. Although there is nothing wrong with saying that it is exported, J20 can actually be exported if the phantom is more advanced.

Although J20 can achieve the same performance as the phantom after replacing all engines and materials, it doesn't make any sense.

The functions of the two fighters overlap. It's better to maintain its current configuration and export directly.

Although it is indeed in an awkward situation at home, it is one of the first-class and most advanced five generation machines internationally.

Even Lao maozi sought technical negotiations with it, but Lao maozi was poor and it was hard to say how much to buy.

"In fact, Professor Liu, your idea has fallen into a misunderstanding. Let's say that the phantom with new conventional power can now have a combat radius of 4500km. Professor Liu, don't think it can't control most areas. In fact, it can basically do it. Think about it. Our country is big!"

"The North-South distance is 5500 kilometers, which means that we can control a total of 16000 kilometers from north to south, which can reach almost anywhere."

"The distance between the same things can reach more than 16000 kilometers, because our airport can be built near our border, so we can control more areas."

"In fact, except for a few parts, most of our areas can be covered."

"We also have several military bases overseas, especially in Africa, which means that we reach all regions of Africa at the same time, including part of Europe."

"So in terms of fighters, even if there is no aircraft carrier, in fact, we have enough."

"What's more, it's not that we don't build aircraft carriers, but the number is not so large. It's necessary to maintain at least four latest aircraft carrier battle groups."

"I think nuclear powered aircraft can be placed on larger aircraft instead of fighters, such as ultra long-range transport aircraft and ultra long-range strategic bombers," Jiang Yanhai said.

Because of their larger size, they can accommodate more nuclear reactor power, etc., and these aircraft are the most important. There is no shortage of nuclear raw materials in China. In fact, they are not just conventional nuclear raw materials.

They also found some new nuclear materials. Although these new nuclear materials also have radiation, they can find materials with less radiation and more stable energy, which is progress.

Professor Liu was stunned for a moment, then he took a look at Professor Hu and said, "yes, what am I competing with you for? I can make strategic bombers and transport planes, and I can also make technical reserves for the larger space shuttle."

"This is what you want to compete with me." Professor Hu was a little embarrassed.

Jiang Yanhai smiled and didn't join in. In fact, he can understand that Professor Liu and Professor Hu had been in his 60s when Jiang Yanhai met them. Now Jiang Yanhai is 26 years old and has been a soldier for 8 years!

The two old professors are also in their seventies and will soon be eighty.

Professor Liu has been engaged in fighter for his whole life. When he got such new technology, his first thought was fighter, because other people were thinking about other aircraft.

But they ignored it. Although other teams are engaged in transport aircraft and bombers, the confidentiality level of these teams is not so high. They don't have some new technologies.
