Chapter 357 Space Shuttle Shell

Ma Yiming immediately regained his spirits. This is the result of Li Hao's recent inspection of himself.

Today is really his lucky day, and this day is really the most suitable one.

Now the aerospace program has had a major breakthrough. It happened to lead Li Hao and the others to see the effect and demonstrate one's ability through specific examples. This is one of the best ways to demonstrate one's ability.

Ma Yiming immediately said respectfully: It's a coincidence that Mr. Li came, we are constantly verifying whether the outer shell effect of the space shuttle can meet our goal.

Now that it has basically succeeded, it is preparing to carry out extreme tests on the outer shell of the space shuttle. Let's look at this experiment together.

Li Hao immediately nodded in agreement and said, You guys are so fast, I didn't expect to even make the outer shell of the space shuttle.

I know that the technical standards required for the outer shell of the space shuttle are very high, and he must not only ensure that it is intact in the atmosphere.

It is also necessary to prevent the exposure of small meteorites and high-intensity cosmic radiation in the universe. After all, the space shuttle we are studying is not circling around the outer orbit of the earth.

He wants to go deep into the solar system for a long-distance voyage.

Li Hao said that the space shuttle sailed in the solar system, and he remembered that the most critical piece of equipment for the space shuttle to travel long distances is whether its engine can meet the requirements.

We must know that Huaxia can produce a lot of equipment by itself, but engines generally cannot.

While they were walking towards the laboratory, Li Hao asked Niu Zhengfeng, Niu Gong, how is the engine for the space shuttle going?

Niu Zhengfeng said confidently: Mr. Li doesn't need to worry about the engine project. We will definitely complete the project on time.

Now the basic design of the engine has been completed, and it is undergoing long-endurance operation tests.

In the process some issues were found and changes were made to the engine.

The search is now complete for small ionic, electric propulsion motor fuels that use our molecularly rearranged carbon dioxide polymers.

The fuel used by large ion-electric propulsion engines is water.

These are environmentally friendly fuels that will never leak harmful gases that will affect the living things in the space shuttle.

Hearing Niu Zhengfeng's explanation, Zhou Yunsheng said in surprise: I didn't expect that even carbon dioxide and water can be used as fuel now. The world is changing so fast that my brain can't keep up.

Yunsheng, an ion propulsion motor, uses ionization to form a recoil force. There is no need to make a fuss about this, any compound will become like this after strong ionization.

Seeing that the laboratory was not far from their target, Li Hao asked Niu Zhengfeng one last question: How is the speed of the ion electric propulsion engine?

When Niu Zhengfeng heard Li Hao's question, he immediately replied: Mr. Li, the speed of the ion electric propulsion engine is not easy to measure. He always accelerates very slowly at the beginning, then gradually accelerates, and finally forms a higher speed.

Using small engines, it takes just over two hours to travel from the Earth to the Moon. Use a large ion engine. His speed is very violent.

Using large ion engines, it can boost the shuttle to extreme speeds. It only takes one month to go from Earth to Mars.

Li Hao gave a thumbs up and praised: The performance of the ion electric propulsion engine is really superb.

Ma Yiming stopped and said to them: We have arrived, and the place ahead is the spaceflight and shell test.

Let's go in and see the performance of the outer shell of the space shuttle. Li Hao said excitedly.

Mr. Li, I don't know what dangers will happen in the place of the test. This is a one-way transparent glass wall. There is also a virtual light curtain here, which is the most suitable for viewing.

They came to this empty test room.

Li Hao saw the shell of the space shuttle lying flat in the room at a glance.

This space shuttle shell is a one-piece molding. It is 25 meters long and 6 meters wide. The two wings are 9 meters long.

This is a body structure that is completely different from the conventional streamlined aircraft, which looks ugly when put together.

When Li Hao saw the appearance of this aircraft, he knew that this aircraft did not consider the aerodynamic shape at all. He is relying on powerful invisibility to promote the operation of the aircraft.

An aircraft manufacturing expert once said. As long as there is enough thrust, even a brick can lift it into the sky.

Not to mention the space shuttle, most of which travel in the vast universe. The shape of the aircraft is not the main consideration, as long as it is practical.

As can be seen from the skin of the aircraft, the aircraft is equipped with two small ion engines. They are deployed on the wings on either side.

On the back of the space shuttle, a huge metal-shaped pipe protrudes. This should be left over for the large ion engines.

The size of the massive ion engine, visible from the outer shell of the space shuttle, occupies almost one-fifth of the plane.

Ma Yiming and the others observed the testing work of the scientific researcher opposite through the protective glass.

He introduced: Mr. Li, the basic shape of our space shuttle shell is like this.

It is made of super-strength steel by one-time forging and pressing on a large machine tool.

The outer layer is coated with flame gold coating, which is developed by the scientific research team led by director Bi Ye. It has many new uses.

The interior of the space shuttle is except for the super strong steel skeleton. Also often have a heat conduction system composed of flame metal.

A light curtain is displayed on the glass wall, and an animation of the space shuttle's cooling system is played on it.

At the other end of Yanjin is a molten salt solution. The highly heated molten salt flows into a large boiler room. The molten salt heats the water in the boiler, releases heat at the same time, and starts the cycle after cooling.

Through these thermal cycling methods, we can guarantee that we will encounter extremely high temperatures. Spaceships can also survive very well in this state.

Start the experiment and see the results. Talking about this kind of thing is useless. Li Hao said directly, looking ahead.

After Ma Yiming heard it, he immediately ordered the experiment to start.

After receiving Ma Yiming's order, the researchers in the room have already started testing.

Through the virtual light curtain displayed on the glass wall, Li Hao can clearly see the strong fire resistance of the outer shell of the space shuttle.

They used high-power electromagnetic equipment to heat the surface of the outer shell of the space shuttle.

Just see passing through Yanjin. It transfers heat directly to the lava, which then passes it into the boiler.

The steam in the boiler is boiled, and the steam starts to drive the operation of the steam turbine to generate electricity. and store this energy.

Li Hao saw that the temperature had reached an extreme temperature of 3500°C. The molten salt system finally couldn't take it anymore and began to collapse.

Heat built up on the large scale, and the flame-gold coating on the surface of the shuttle began to crumble.

Ma Yiming immediately said: The result of this experiment is perfect, which proves that the heat removal system we designed is very effective.

The only disadvantage is that the molten salt does not have a good ratio and does not exert the characteristics of this material.

This is already very good. The big framework has been set up. In the future, we will fill it with things. These small problems can be solved with a few test data. Li Hao said with satisfaction, feeling that this trip was worthwhile .
