Because Lao Huang knew that Wang Bin and the others were facing the threat of civilization at this time, so in the past few years, Lao Huang also sold a lot of technology to Wang Bin and the others, and even some of them were obtained from the descendants of Deno. Huang and the others did not hesitate to sell it to Wang Bin and the others, hoping that the human beings in Wang Bin’s world would be able to defeat foreign civilizations.
“Old Huang! Although I am in the world, I am also facing the threat of alien civilization at this time, but these conditions you have put forward make me unable to refuse. After all, the conditions you have offered are too amazing. With millions of energy coins, it is also taking out the first-generation super soldier technology, descended from De Nuo, to exchange for the ion engine technology of Tiangong Technology.
But Lao Huang, to be honest, you all now have truly powerful, controllable nuclear fusion engines. You can send more than 100,000-ton Universe spacecraft into space. What do you need an ion medium engine to do?
After all, compared to the nuclear power engine that can send more than 100,000 tons of spacecraft into space, the use of the ion medium engine is much smaller, and it is even unnecessary for you, and it is completely unnecessary.
Even if it is the latest ionic medium engine of Tiangong Technology, the thrust in space now reaches about two hundred tons, but if it is placed in the atmosphere, its thrust is only a mere ten tons, even the engine itself. The weight can’t be pushed, let alone put the Universe spacecraft into space. ”
Hearing what Wang Bin said, Lao Huang shook his head directly and said, “Mr. Wang, I think you must have taken it wrong, although I have already developed a Universe spacecraft with a mass of more than 100,000 tons into space.
However, in terms of the controllable nuclear fusion engine technology we have, it is still very immature, the thrust-to-weight ratio is still very low, and the consumption of nuclear fuel is also very huge.
Take, for example, the 110,000-ton aircraft carrier that we have just successfully manufactured. Although we have the ability to send this aircraft carrier into space, the engine part of this aircraft carrier occupies nearly half of the spacecraft. Space and quality.
The most important thing is that once the spacecraft is sent into space, the nuclear fuel carried by this spacecraft is almost exhausted and must be refilled.
At the same time, according to our calculations. Even if this spacecraft has a controllable nuclear fusion engine, its maximum speed cannot break through one-thousandth of the speed of light. At the same time, its endurance is very short, at most it can only maintain the spacecraft’s voyage from Earth to Mars.
However, the ion medium engine with high thrust is different. After all, compared to the immature controllable nuclear fusion engine we have developed, the ion engine is more suitable for Universe navigation.
Although the maximum thrust of the ion engine you developed seems to be only a few hundred tons, and can only be used in the universe, compared to the nuclear power engine, the ion engine consumes less energy and is more efficient in energy utilization. It is also higher and can provide long-term effective continuous power for the spacecraft.
If the controllable nuclear fusion engine we have developed has only one percent of the energy utilization rate, then the ion engine developed by Tiangong Technology has an absolute energy utilization rate of 80 percent. above.
The most important thing is that if the ion engine has enough thrust, it can even support the spacecraft for sub-light speed navigation, which is absolutely unattainable by the type of engine we currently have. “Lao Huang said seriously.
Wang Bin naturally understands what Lao Huang said. In fact, this is also the reason why Tiangong Technology has focused on ion engines rather than nuclear power engines in aerospace engines over the past few years.
After all, there is no nuclear-powered engine to send a large universe spacecraft into space. Wang Bin and the others can make spacecraft in the universe. After all, human civilization now has so many space stations, and it is fully capable of manufacturing universe spacecraft in space. What’s more, it can also be manufactured on the moon.
After all, the moon is not the earth. Not only is its gravity only one-sixth of that of the earth, it also has no unprecedented presence. The ion engine can fully exert its due thrust.
Of course, the focus is not on the controllable nuclear fusion engine, which does not mean that Wang Bin and Tiangong Technology have completely abandoned their original development in this area.
On the contrary, in the harsh environment of technology, Wang Bin and their Tiangong Technology have been conducting research and development, whether it is returning to the engine or returning to the reactor.
Regardless of the nuclear power engine, Tiangong Technology focuses more on the research and development of controllable nuclear fusion reactors, especially in the miniaturization of controllable nuclear fusion reactors, and has invested huge manpower and material resources for research and development, and A lot of achievements have also been made.
Take the first-generation controllable nuclear fusion reactor they developed before. Its power is no more than ten megawatts, but its volume and weight are so large that it cannot be used on a small Universe spacecraft.
But after three years of development, Tiangong Technology has been able to manufacture reactor units with a power exceeding 100 megawatts, and in terms of volume, they are smaller than the first-generation controllable nuclear fusion reactor.
As for the 10-megawatt-level controllable nuclear fusion reactor, its volume has been reduced to less than five cubic meters, and its overall weight has been reduced to a mere less than 30 tons.
In addition, there is also cold nuclear fusion technology. The development in the past few years has been very rapid. After all, Tiangong Technology has the ability to achieve breakthroughs in a short period of time. Of course, this is also due to Wang. The reason why Bin bought a lot of technology in the mall.
Otherwise, without five or six years, it is absolutely impossible to make breakthroughs on the original basis, let alone achieve greater results.
At the same time, Wang Bin also has plans for the use of cold nuclear fusion technology.
Although, even now, the maximum energy produced by cold nuclear fusion is only a mere 1 megawatt, which is a huge difference compared with the energy output of thermonuclear fusion, which varies from hundreds to gigawatts.
Intending cold nuclear fusion also has its own absolute advantage, that is, the volume of the cold nuclear fusion reactor is very small. For a reactor with a maximum difficulty of 0.8 MW, its volume is only less than one cubic meter, and the weight is less than that. A ton.
Therefore, if these cold nuclear fusions are used on those small Universe combat platforms as energy sources, then for the small Universe combat platforms, there is no need to worry about energy anymore. If an ion engine is added, Then these small Universe combat platforms can definitely fly to any place in the solar system for combat.
