I have a little black hole

"Sell a little less! Hurry to tell me specific data!" Lei Tiantang saw this guy smugly pleading there and couldn't help laughing and scolding after not getting into the topic.

"Hey, boss, I'm not talking about it!" Zhang Hanxiu smiled.

"This is the case. At present, the maximum ion engine in use in the world is only 30 kilometers per second, but the maximum effect of the ion engine we are currently testing can reach more than ten times this number!

Its composition includes 3 connected linear magnetic units, the front unit controls the injection and ionization of the gas propellant, the central magnetic unit acts as an amplifier, and further heats the plasma to the input state required by the magnetic nozzle, the rear The magnetic unit acts as a magnetic nozzle, transforming the thermal energy of the fluid into a directional jet, while protecting the nozzle wall and effectively separating the plasma from the magnetic field.

During its operation, hydrogen gas is injected into the front magnetic unit, where it is ionized.The generated plasma is subsequently heated by ion cyclotron resonance in the central magnetic unit through the combined action of radio frequency and magnetic field to achieve the required temperature and density. At this time, almost all the energy is distributed in the radial direction.

The magnetic nozzle converts the energy of the plasma into the jet velocity and ensures that the plasma is effectively detached from the magnetic field, outputs adjusted thrust, and converts the radial energy to the axial direction, which allows its thrust to reach the exit speed Switch between 30-400kms.

Of course, this data is the data of the simulation test. What we are looking forward to is the data of the real physical test for the first time. This is also the reason why everyone stays overtime. We all want to see its test results in the first time!"With the interpretation of Zhang Hanxiu, Origin also projected the specific data and working mode of this ion engine in real time.

"This data is very good! Can its size fit on the satellite? I think this test guy is not too small!"

Lei Tiantang is very satisfied with the data, but is curious that such a big chunk really has practical value?Looking at the big guy spraying blue flames in the quarantine zone, he seemed to have a problem.

"Boss, you misunderstood! Indeed, the ion motor we tested now has a maximum diameter of 2.4 meters and a length of 9.5 meters, but it is not prepared for satellites!

Of course, it is not impossible to use it on satellites, but the size needs to be reduced, but even if the size is reduced, its thrust can reach 100 kilometers per second, as long as the one in front of it passes the test, it is miniaturized. Test work will also be carried out one after another.

The ion engine that we temporarily named SY-220907 is designed for the company's first-generation spacecraft. We estimate that as long as eight ion engines of this size are equipped, the company's first-generation spacecraft will have the ability to be in the solar system. It’s time for a deep space flight!

And in order to verify this technology, we have also made certain modifications to our future deep-space exploration plan of the solar system!"Having said that, Zhang Hanxiu couldn't help but start selling Guanzi.

"Hurry up! Look at you ridiculously!" Lei Tiantang heard the key point and found this guy stopped again and could not help but patted his shoulder hard.

"Ah! Let's talk! Boss, you are so powerful!" Zhang Hanxiu gritted his hands and rubbed his shoulders and groaned.

Seeing his boss raised his hand again, he quickly ridiculed and said: "Since the design of this engine is completed, we think, this spaceship knows when it can be designed, then our engine was completed so long in advance. The design work of the new generation, just put it here after the design is completed?

Can it be used in spacecraft in practical applications? We have to find a way to test it?It's not just a calf by simulation!

So after brainstorming, everyone negotiated a test plan, that is-the combined deep space probe launch plan!

This new deep space probe launch program is to launch 4 SY-220907 ion engines into Earth orbit, and then combine them with a bracket, and then we need to launch multiple Jupiter probes, Saturn probes and Their satellite probes and several planetary probes farther away were also launched into Earth orbit.

Speaking of the boss here, you will understand what we plan to do. At this step, we can fix all these detectors to the bracket of the ion engine, so as to form a spaceship-like assembly. Use these 4 SY-220907 The thrust of the ion engine propels this assembly to the planets of these probes.

Each time a target is approached, the corresponding detector is fired. This not only reduces the time for these detectors to fly from the earth to the target, but also because the detector has not consumed any fuel during the flight. The working time after reaching the target's orbit will be greatly extended, which is very beneficial to our solar system exploration plan!

In this way, we can not only test whether the performance of the SY-220907 ion engine can meet the design requirements of the company's first-generation solar system spacecraft, but also allow our solar system exploration plan to save at least 5 years, and the total launch cost can also be saved At least 6 billion yuan like this!"

"Good! Your design is very good!" Lei Tiantang couldn't help applauding when he saw the detector assembly projected by the origin.

"It seems that you are thinking very well! Even the initial speed is taken into account!" Lei Tiantang smiled and pointed at the two rocket engines surrounding the four SY-220907 ion engines in the complex.

"Of course, the boss! Anyway, our design can save the company a lot of money, so in order to save a little flying time of the assembly, it is very necessary to add two rocket thrusters to it.

The two rocket engines can accelerate the combined body's flight speed to 30 kilometers per second before the fuel is burned and discarded by the combined body, and if the speed is accelerated by the combined ion engine itself, it will take about 30 days. time.

Adding two rocket boosters can save one month, this account is still very cost-effective, and the design of this combination is not the final draft. Our laboratory is experimenting with the new solar sail design. If our new solar sail design can meet the design requirements, then we can also add a solar sail booster to this combination."As Zhang Hanxiu said, he brought up a new composite design.
