Chapter 796 Set sail
August 19.
Gu Song has come to the bridge and sat on the command chair.
Zhao Hongtao sat in the main driver's seat, Fan Yuanbai sat in the chief engineer's seat, and Dong Heguang sat in the main communication command position.
On the ring screen, you can see a Yinglong and Yinglongwang guarding the Flint Space City one after the other, and they are flying at the same speed. In a relatively static perspective, the two ring-shaped cabins of the Flint Space City are stably rotating.
The camera on Yinglongwang can see the huge thruster at the tail of the Flint Space City thruster.
This thruster is a variable specific impulse magnetic plasma thruster stronger than the Hall thruster.
The concept of this kind of thruster has long existed, and it has many advantages.
It is not a picky eater. In theory, any gas can be ionized, especially the most abundant and cheapest hydrogen.
It is also stable, durable, and powerful. It can achieve different ion densities and specific impulses by adjusting the power of the ion cyclotron to achieve the purpose of changing the thrust.
And its shortcomings, the biggest is power consumption, followed by large size, heat dissipation and so on.
But when these problems reach Gu Song, they are no longer troublesome.
Electricity? That's really enough.
Big size? A big spaceship just right for deep space voyages.
Cooling? After so many years of making materials, all aspects are not preparing for this.
So right now, this is a particularly useful method of propulsion.
If it weren't for the limitations of time, manufacturing process, materials, etc., the Black Technology Encyclopedia would not have given him such a solution.
Mix and match perfectly.
Who would have expected the technical content of the Flint Space City, with various things of different technological levels distributed.
There are both miniaturized nuclear fusion engines that are so powerful that people will drop their jaws, and variable specific impulse magnetic plasma thrusters that have prototypes in the 20th century.
Now, the state-of-the-art magnetoplasma thruster array jets are quietly waiting.
On the bridge, Gu Song nodded to Fan Yuanbai.
Fan Yuanbai understood and entered a series of instructions.
There are no words.
Gu Song waited quietly.
Fan Yuanbai saw that on the information screen in front of him, a pointer quickly turned to the right and stabilized at the safe power, and then said to Gu Song: "The main thruster is ready, and the energy supply is normal."
Gu Song felt pride in his chest and ordered loudly: "Prepare in 5 minutes countdown."
Zhao Hongtao responded quickly.
Dong Heguang turned on the microphone and started broadcasting to the entire Space City: "Attention everyone, the countdown for the start of the thrusters is 5 minutes, please stand by as required!"
…
Xinghai City on the surface, in the No. 1 control hall of the newly built HSDA Space Mission Control Center, there are many big figures from HSDA present.
Tang Yuanfeng also looked at the picture from the Flint Space City bridge on the screen.
On the screen, Gu Song is sitting there steadily, while the others are busy in an orderly manner.
The Flint Space City track displayed on the screen is still the one that everyone is familiar with.
Next, it's just the moment when Flint Space City's thrusters are activated, it won't immediately leave this familiar orbit and go away quickly.
But the smooth start of the thruster will also be a milestone.
Because this is the most powerful deep space thruster that appears in space.
It is an array, and its thrust is too amazing in the real data given by Gu Song.
and specific impulse are also exaggerated.
If it can be successfully started, it will practically prove that human beings have the ability to navigate within the solar system.
Even if it takes years to go to planets outside the asteroid belt, going to places like Mars and the asteroid belt will already be able to fully support the next stage of space development.
Witnessed here with the bigwigs, as well as media reporters and live broadcast equipment allowed to enter the control hall.
The signal was rebroadcasted to the outside world through them, and countless ordinary people were also paying attention, expecting the huge ion thruster array to emit a dazzling light.
…
If it is said that who has the most complicated emotions on the surface at the moment, it is the two foolish critics who did not turn around for a while, and who did not sign the candidate seed sequence of the Enlightenment Program.
In the past few days, the high-level officials of their country have no idea how much they have ravaged their words.
Frankly, I didn’t expect them to be so stupid, and they didn’t make it clear before.
Stupid?
We are also a super genius who entered the shortlist of candidates after three rounds of testing from countless talents, and entered the final list of 50 people from 200 people!
It's not the one you promoted from childhood that controlled me!
Otherwise, there will be me who are now receiving the attention of everyone in the sky!
Unfortunately...no regret medicine...
…
The ESG that is locked up in the world's little dark room, the top level has not completely lost its eyes and ears.
Hua cherishes feathers and only strictly controls their economic and cultural exchanges with the outside world, as well as the strict control of spacecraft.
However, the signal can still be received.
Watching Flint Space City make all the preparations, its magnificent picture in space made a group of people very silent.
A road has gone dark.
To tell the truth, if it continues like this, it will actually feel good to be the king of the land, after all, it is not as constrained as it used to be.
But everyone knows that the launch of Flint Space City means that HSDA will have more energy to deal with the remaining issues of ESG.
Stress is suffocating.
After the flint space city sails smoothly, what will happen next?
I really want to do some damage and cause some problems in Flint Space City, but unfortunately... I can only think about it.
Those two aerospace planes, but the attitude of escort...
…
“10, 9, 8…”
The final countdown came, and the host screen was switched to the nozzle of the thruster.
"5, 4, 3, 2, 1, start!"
The people on the whole boat did not feel the slightest, but on the screen, a circle of small nozzles around the thruster array had already emitted brilliant blue light.
"The engine power is 1.8 MW, and the pressure is normal!"
"The unit thrust is 87 N, and the total thrust is 1392 N!"
Hearing such a number, those who know how to listen will make a big mouth, and those who do not understand will feel that it is very inferior.
But in the vast space, little by little accumulation, the final effect will be very scary.
On the ground, some knowledgeable people are guessing: "It seems that these auxiliary thrusters are used for conventional cruise acceleration, 1.8 megawatts! It's terrible, to achieve such a high power in space, it should not be the strongest. state."
"You said, what is the main thruster?"
"It should be a new type of engine for quick response, but it should not be turned on easily. The speed at which it consumes fuel is not comparable to that of electric propulsion."
As soon as the voice fell, I saw the sound continued to come from the screen.
"Main thruster start-up test, countdown 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, start!"
In the picture, the more dazzling flame plume suddenly lights up, completely covering the light of the previous 16 variable specific impulse magnetic plasma propulsion jets.
The time lasted only less than 10 seconds, the main thruster was turned off, and the dazzling blue light disappeared.
"What happened? Did something go wrong?"
"Why, you can see they don't respond on the screen. It should just be a test! Come on, look at the current speed, this thruster is awesome!"
As I saw just now, the speed change of Flint Space City was barely noticeable, but the current orbital route has changed.
That is to say, in just a few seconds, the flight speed of the Flint Space City has increased significantly.
That is a 10,000-ton behemoth!
In the No. 1 control hall of the HSDA Space Mission Control Center in Xinghai City, the leaders of other countries were shocked and turned to look at Tang Yuanfeng.
Tang Yuanfeng smiled and looked calm.
