Chapter 1437 As Long as You Dare to Think

"However, as we all know, the thrust of the ion engine is very small, and it can only be used to slow down, or change orbit or direction in a vacuum environment. However, when most aircraft continue to accelerate in space, they still use chemical rocket propulsion. Of course, there is also an electromagnetically driven engine being demonstrated, but its probability of success is not even as good as the nuclear fusion ion engine."

"Then if it is equipped with a small ion engine, it should be able to fly in space, right?" Jiang Yanhai asked after thinking about it.

"If it's not a long-term flight, it's not difficult. For example, just like we have built-in fuel, we can build solid substances and then turn them into gases, and compress them and eject them."

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

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

"Uh, actually, two professors, you should be very clear. According to our current technology, needless to say, the ones that are still being researched, the space shuttles that have been successfully researched can actually fly into space and have a larger load capacity. It shouldn't be a problem, right?" Jiang Yanhai said.

"Yes." Both professors nodded.

The space shuttles of Russia and the United States have been able to fly for decades, and now they can naturally launch larger space shuttles or rockets, which is not a problem.

"Then I have a question. If we put an aircraft carrier into space, the space station in space will not be as small as it is now, but will be the same size as the aircraft carrier, or even larger than the aircraft carrier. By then, it will often be in space. With the resident pilot and the new generation of Phantom, theoretically it can reach the world at a faster speed." Jiang Yanhai expressed his thoughts.

He really just came up with this idea just now. 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 actually more problems with these things. Not to mention anything else, the construction and operation of the entire space station will cost a lot of money. manpower and material resources.

As far as the current carrying capacity and cost of human beings are concerned, it is unaffordable.

The two professors looked at each other, and then Professor Liu said helplessly: "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, because some For some reasons, you know that we must at least achieve an absolute lead in the military."

Jiang Yanhai nodded, "Well, it seems that I am overthinking, but as far as the two of you are currently talking, I support Professor Hu."

"You little brat! Are you talking about friendship, the two of us met first, right?" Professor Liu immediately said a little depressed.

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

"I'm not in a hurry. Although our current scientific research funds are sufficient, we don't have that much strength to equip so many fighter jets, and there are still J20s. The situation of J20s is already very embarrassing. If you do this, the J20s will Dismounting soon?"

"What are you doing off the horse? You can export it." Jiang Yanhai hurriedly said.

"You said it lightly." Professor Liu rolled his eyes. Although there is nothing wrong with saying it, if the Phantom is more advanced, the J20 can indeed be exported.

Although it is said that after replacing all the engines and materials, the J20 can achieve performance similar to that of the Phantom, but that doesn't make much sense.

The functions of the two fighters overlap somewhat, so it is better to maintain its current configuration and export directly.

Although it is indeed in an embarrassing situation in China, it is one of the first-class and most advanced fifth-generation aircraft in the world.

Even Lao Maozi seeks to conduct technical negotiations with it, but Lao Maozi himself is poor, so it is hard to say how much he will buy.

"Actually, Professor Liu, your thinking has fallen into a misunderstanding. Let's put it this way, the Phantom, which uses a new conventional power, can now have a combat radius of as much as 4,500 kilometers. Professor Liu, don't think it can't control most areas. In fact, it can basically do it. Now, think about it, our country is big!"

"The north-south distance is 5,500 kilometers, which means that we can control a total of 16,000 kilometers from the north to the south. This range can reach almost anywhere."

"And the distance between the same things can reach more than 16,000 kilometers, because our airports can be built near our borders, so that we can control more areas."

"Actually, except for a very small number of parts, most of our areas can be covered."

"Overseas we also have several military bases of our own, especially in Africa, which means that we reach all regions of Africa at the same time, including parts of Europe."

"So in terms of fighter jets, even if there is no aircraft carrier, we actually have enough."

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

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

Because these two are larger in size, the power of the nuclear reactor they can accommodate will be greater, and these aircraft are the most important. There is no shortage of nuclear materials in China now, and in fact it is not just conventional nuclear materials.

They also discovered some new nuclear materials. Although these new nuclear materials also have radiation, it is an improvement to find materials with less radiation and more stable energy.

Professor Liu froze for a moment, then glanced at Professor Hu and said angrily: "Yes, what am I competing with you for? I can develop strategic bombers and transport aircraft, and I can also provide technical support for larger space shuttles." reserve."

"This is what you want to fight with me." Professor Hu was a little dumbfounded.

Jiang Yanhai smiled and didn't join in. In fact, he could understand that Professor Liu and Professor Hu Jiang Yanhai were over 60 years old when they met them. Now Jiang Yanhai is 26 years old and has been in the army for 8 years!

The two old professors are also in their 70s and soon to be 80 years old.

Professor Liu has been working on fighter jets all his life. When he got such a new technology, he naturally thought of fighter jets first, because other people were thinking about other planes.

But they ignored it. Although there are other teams working on transport planes and bombers, the level of secrecy of these teams is not so high. There are some new technologies that they don't have.
