Xueba's Black Technology Simulator

Chapter 214 Technical Problems

The current technology of nuclear-powered small sea, land and air devices is simply impossible to realize, so is it necessary to study the miniaturization of nuclear power now?

Everyone looked at Lu Xiao, because everyone present knew a fact very well.

That is, relying on their research and development capabilities, perhaps in 50 years, it is impossible to successfully miniaturize nuclear power.

There is a saying that has been circulating in the academic world, that is, human beings are always 50 years away from controllable nuclear fusion!
This is a fact recognized by all.

The Little Sun project is actually trying to miniaturize nuclear fusion.

For example, the nuclear power on an aircraft carrier, the nuclear fusion on a large submarine, and the nuclear power of a nuclear power plant all use the principle of boiling water and are very large in size.

The biggest advantage of controllable nuclear fusion is to reduce nuclear energy and provide a steady stream of energy.

If only a nuclear energy core the size of a suitcase can supply a huge amount of energy, then countless means of transportation can usher in earth-shaking changes.

Lu Xiao also has no way to create controllable nuclear fusion in a short period of time.

Seeing everyone's expectant eyes, I felt a little embarrassed.

Since there is no way to get controllable nuclear fusion, is there any other way?

Lu Xiao thought quickly, this is equivalent to encountering a difficult research topic at the SSS level, knowing that this topic is impossible to solve.

You can only reduce the difficulty, such as getting out the S-level technology first.

The need for miniaturized nuclear power is mainly to provide kinetic energy for vehicles.

There are many ways to provide kinetic energy. For example, fighter jets now use fuel oil, and engines based on the principle of internal combustion engines provide kinetic energy.

The main reason why new aircraft cannot use the kinetic energy of fighter jets is that it requires a lot of space for endurance and loading, and this time the size of the new vehicle is limited.

After thinking for a while, Lu Xiaocai said, "I can't do anything about the miniaturization of nuclear power in the short term, maybe it won't work in a few years, so let's put this plan aside for now, and now we'll think about two other forms."

The others nodded after hearing this, feeling disappointed but not surprised.

After all, miniaturization of nuclear power is a big project.

Everyone knows the other two forms that Lu Xiao mentioned.

In addition to nuclear power, there is only fuel and electricity.

That is, the two power modes of the car now.

Whether it is a car or a spacecraft, the main forms are these two.

Chemical fuels, as well as the use of electrical energy.

An internal combustion engine-based engine and an electric motor that uses electrical energy.

Now we can only start from these two directions and discuss which method is more suitable for the current plan.

Moreover, technical upgrades must be carried out on these two models in order to meet the conditions of the plan.

Liu Zhen said: "The current disadvantage of the engine using chemical energy is that it is relatively noisy and requires a lot of space for fuel. However, according to the power of fighter jets, it is actually possible. As long as we solve the problem of vertical take-off and landing, perhaps fuel-powered Devices are also possible."

Others also joined in.

In fact, if the fighter jets are improved to be able to take off and land quickly, and then adapt to underwater navigation, they can be used to pick up people.

The next thing everyone will discuss is how to improve fighter jets so that they have the ability to sail in deep seas.

It also needs an exterior makeover.

Adapt to ground driving, such as fighter jets can deform.

There are flying forms, as well as ground and seabed driving forms.

In this way, the plan they discussed met the conditions.

After hearing this, Lu Xiao thought about it carefully, and felt that this is also a solution. It is much easier to allow fighter jets to have the ability to deform than to develop controllable nuclear fusion and miniaturized nuclear power.

This is a bit like Transformers.

Autobot Transformation!

Before Lu Xiao could speak, someone else proposed another plan.

"I think electric energy is better. If we have high-energy batteries, it will be quieter underwater with electric motors. Even the electric motors may need to be modified to make the kinetic energy of the electric motors stronger and provide power for flight." Someone said.

Today's fighter jets and large aircraft all use chemical energy. Naturally, it is difficult to provide such a large thrust with electric energy.

Of course, electrical energy can also be converted into mechanical energy. On the drone, it is the electrical energy used.

It's just that the flying speed of the drone is so slow.

It definitely doesn’t meet everyone’s needs.

The reason why fighter jets can go supersonic is because chemical energy ejects a large amount of matter, so that the kinetic energy provided is enough for a huge aircraft to fly quickly.

Electric energy cannot spray things.

In the end, it can only rely on mechanical energy, and the rotation of the propeller disturbs the air.

Electric motors are widely used in new energy vehicles, not because electric motors are difficult to use on large aircraft.

Of course, this person proposed the electric energy solution because electric energy has many advantages.

Currently in the field of drones, most drones use electric motors or even solar energy to provide power and can fly in the air 24 hours a day.

Rongfei Group also has corresponding drones, which are relatively small.

Among them, the material is relatively light, and only in this way can it fly in the sky for a long time.

Naturally, these technologies can be improved. If Lu Xiao devotes energy to upgrading the related equipment, maybe Xia Guo's motors and batteries will usher in great development.

On the surface, they are making life-saving air, sea, land and air aircraft. In fact, when this aircraft is born, the various technologies used can completely bring about changes in other industries.

This time, electric energy is used to overcome numerous technical difficulties.

All electric vehicles in the future will definitely usher in an upgrade.

At present, the battery life of new energy electric vehicles is only a few hundred kilometers. If there is a brand new battery, it can last several thousand kilometers.

In terms of speed, it is almost the same now, no matter how fast it is, it is useless, after all, it is sailing on the ground, so it is not very useful if it is too fast.

Liu Zhen also thought about it a lot. Before Lu Xiao could reply, he agreed loudly: "The electric energy is good! If we overcome the technical problems related to electric energy, we will gain even more."

Chemical-powered sea, land and air aircraft can harvest a lot of electrical energy.

Liu Zhen saw the huge benefits that Lu Xiao would gain after joining the electric sea, land and air transportation.

As for the means of transportation with chemical energy, even if it conquers sea, land and air navigation, there are actually only so many benefits.

After all, solving problems with electric energy naturally also includes allowing vehicles to take off and land underwater.

In addition, the transformation and transformation of electric energy vehicles can use chemical energy?

In order for Lu Xiao to devote his energy to the research and development of electric sea, land and air transportation, Liu Neng strongly suggested that Lu Xiao adopt this plan.

Many people reacted, and everyone began to praise the power of electricity.

The noise is small, and in the future it can still rely on solar energy.

It can last a long time in the sky!
In short, there are many benefits, Mr. Lu, hurry up and develop it!Everyone is waiting to see you perform.

Seeing everyone's appearance, Lu Xiao quickly understood what they were thinking.

After thinking about it, he also felt that the electricity was good.

It's just that there are a lot of technologies to be improved, but it is always less difficult than shrinking nuclear power.

So he nodded and said: "I understand everyone's thoughts, so let's tentatively use electric energy to design a common vehicle for sea, land and air. At that time, according to this vehicle, it can be changed to a vehicle with other power sources."

"Ah, that's right, that's it, it would be great if this thing is made!" Countless people agreed.

His eyes were full of excitement.

Lu Xiao agreed, does this mean that Lu Xiao has some confidence in his heart.

Do you want to retreat again?

No problem at all, anyway, what Lu Xiao needs to cooperate with them Rongfei Group has absolutely no objection.

Although Lu Xiao did not retreat to Rongfei Group last time, because Lu Xiao was experimenting here at the beginning, everyone knows the inside story.

"Okay, the plan is finalized, that is, electric energy is the main driving force. Now let's discuss what are the difficulties and what are the current technologies that do not meet the plan." Liu Zhen said excitedly.

Lu Xiao also has a certain understanding of the current technical reserves, and Chen Yang has given a lot of highly confidential information.

What kind of special materials are there in the base, what is the power of the engine, and how much better the j battery is than the civilian battery? Lu Xiao knows all these data.

What needs to be known is that j use will definitely be a generation higher than civilian use.

In fact, the Internet was first used by the j party, and then it was slowly put into the civilian market.

Therefore, the technology currently reserved is much stronger than that of ordinary people.

DJI is all childish when it comes to secret bases.

If they are willing to come up with the most advanced technology to build civilian drones, they will definitely be one generation or several generations ahead of DJI.

However, this kind of thing is almost impossible to happen. These are sharp weapons, how can they be opened to the general market.

Lu Xiao's use of sound waves, if he hadn't spent a lot of time keeping it secret, he wouldn't have opened it up at all.

There will be no surveillance equipment and various sound wave equipment for agriculture in the future.

It is precisely because he understands the parameters of all technologies that Lu Xiao knows that there are many problems that need to be solved now, and almost all technologies need to be upgraded.

He is not particularly proficient in mechanics, so he asked: "Ignoring battery life, kinetic energy and other issues, let me ask first, can you create deformed vehicles?"

Liu Zhen was silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said: "Yes! We have countless experts all over the country. As long as the plan is determined, the deformation plan can definitely be designed. However, although the plan can be designed, countless problems need to be solved. For example, the material must be brand new. of the material."

Liu Zhen is actually talking about completing the design theoretically, that is, using software to design the solution.

As long as everyone sees the benefits of Transformers, they can design a truly deformable car, but this is of little significance and does not have much combat effectiveness.

Now it is not difficult to design a means of transportation that can meet the standards by sea, land and air.

There has been something for both land and sea, and that is tanks.

Many tanks can be used on both land and sea, but tanks can't dive, but it is actually possible to make tanks dive, if the seal is done well, just apply submarine technology to tanks.

Since there have been related researches, why haven't related designs been made before.

The problem is getting the vehicle to fly.

There are also seaplanes now, and it is not a problem to let seaplanes run on land.

All the problems are actually in terms of kinetic energy. When the kinetic energy is large, it can fly from the bottom of the sea.

Seeing that everyone said that the design was okay, Lu Xiao asked, "Then where is the most difficult part now?"

"Deformation is possible. We give priority to the appearance of the land as a car or truck. When designing, we will calculate the volume and kinetic energy data. It is no problem to let the car-shaped vehicle enter the seabed, as long as it is sealed. "

"The difficulty is actually flying. Besides flying, the most difficult part is taking off and landing." Liu Zhen said.

Lu Xiao had an idea, he said: "Flying under the sea, there seems to be a reference, such as missiles launched underwater?"

Naturally, there are people here who know how to launch underwater.

So he explained: "Actually, missiles launched underwater are not really deep under the sea. Missiles launched by submarines need to float up to a place of more than ten meters, up to 50 meters. After breaking through the water, it will descend soon, and there will be sensors inside the missile to sense it."

"The sensor will activate the power system inside the missile. In the end, it is actually in the form of a rocket, which ejects a large amount of material to propel the missile into the sky."

The current ultra-long-range attack missiles are all rocket-like power systems.

Otherwise, relying on raw kinetic energy will be almost the same as the cannon fired dozens or hundreds of years ago, and can only provide initial power.

"In the case of missiles, chemical energy must be used. Didn't we just talk about using electric energy to propel them?" someone said.

The crowd fell silent.

The technology is a bit difficult, and everyone generally has some concepts in their minds, which is equivalent to converting the current submarine into a flying device.

Still powered by electricity.

Of course, no matter how difficult the technology is to achieve, everyone has to try it. This is how technology promotes progress bit by bit.

"Maybe we can consider using electrical energy and chemical energy together. Most underwater submarines are actually powered by electrical energy, because the motor is relatively quiet and can avoid sonar very well."

"We can use hybrid power to launch the vehicle in the form of an underwater missile or rocket when it is launched out of the sea, and then adjust it in the air."

Another person frowned when he heard this and said: "If we follow this plan, then when we take off from the ground, there will be a lot of noise. Then we have to use a similar method to take off like a rocket from the ground!"

Various problems arise, making it difficult for everyone to choose this solution.

In addition, there is an ejection process underwater. Does this kind of vehicle require a larger underwater device to accommodate and launch it?
So everyone looked at Lu Xiao again.

Being watched by everyone, Lu Xiao sighed, and said: "The form of the missile is not very good, the movement is too loud, whether it is taking off from the sea or the ground, it is too conspicuous, think of another way."

"That's the way drones take off and helicopters take off. Although the speed is slower, it can guarantee vertical takeoff and landing!" Someone suggested.

Modifying such an aircraft is much simpler. It is like deforming a car and making many propellers appear, whether it is one, two or four.

In short, it is not difficult to let the ground vehicles take off.

As for taking off in the sea, it is naturally not difficult.

The defect is also obvious, that is, the takeoff and landing speed will not be particularly fast, and the flying speed will not be very fast.

Of course, here are all experts, and they quickly discussed, for example, there are several modes when flying, take-off and landing is one, after reaching the sky, you can use the power of propulsion to complete another transformation, put away the propellers, and switch to a fighter jet Similar dynamics for quick maneuvers.
