Chapter 166: Supersonic flight armor
After continuous experiments, Li Yunfei finally decided to make a set of flying equipment. It is because the speed of Yufeng Flight is too slow. Judging from the current spiritual growth rate, it is difficult to break through 250 kilometers and be trapped here. It's really uncomfortable that the speed can't break through, especially when the flight data shows that the speed is 250 per hour, which is a bit not fast.
After the wind speed has increased to nearly 70 meters per second, it has not grown much for a long time. Although it is still far from the theoretical upper limit, the current growth has indeed become extremely slow, so the speed of Yufeng Flight is also blocked. On the 250, it was really uncomfortable, so I thought of the use of ion thrusters to fly equipment, but I got inspiration from the high-power repulsion field aircraft system on the medical transport plane, so I abandoned it. Ion thrusters, enabling a more efficient propulsion system.
The treatment transport plane uses such a highly efficient propeller, which is why it has such an amazing carrying capacity. Li Yunfei was also deeply inspired and came up with a miniature thruster. Of course, it was actually reduced by countless times. For others, it may take a long time to do experiments and make special modifications and verifications. However, Li Yunfei's subtle operation of power and perception is not convenient. He can easily make a gourd according to the same pattern, so he quickly produced an extreme miniature version of the thruster test product.
After just a few simple tests, a complete set of data was obtained. The diameter is 3.3 cm, the thickness is 0.6 cm, and the self-weight is 40 grams. Just by adding enough current, thrust can be generated, and the thrust limit is as high as 50 kg.
The power consumption is actually not very large. A nuclear reactor used by a machine gunner can provide 10 thrusters to continuously provide energy. As for how long it can provide, if it is newly added nuclear fuel, it will be used for six or seven years.
However, that thing is really a bit big, dozens of kilograms, and it always makes people feel that it is not very safe, so Li Yunfei uses a superconducting energy storage device, which is small in size, light in weight, and very safe. It is only a diameter of fifteen The centimeter thickness is only three centimeters disc, and the mass is only 1.5 kilograms.
The thing is light, but the use time is much shorter. If all 10 thrusters are used, they can last for at most ten hours at full power output. Of course, Li Yunfei's storage space is so large that he can carry several standard batteries with him, so this superconducting battery is completely sufficient. Putting a nuclear reactor on his back is always disturbing. Even if it has been verified, it is safe, but Li Yunfei Still don't want to use that thing.
Four propellers are installed on the feet, two on the two palms, one on each of the left and right shoulders, and one on the front chest and back. Of course, such a scattered installation is for the convenience of adjusting the posture in the air, and the maneuverability is stronger. Although it is said that he can maneuver the wind, but when the speed is too fast, the movement of the wind will appear powerless. This time, Li Yunfei will try to break through. The sound barrier of supersonic flight.
Therefore, the defensive armor made has also been transformed. The 6mm spar armor that was made before was easily penetrated by the guns of the machine gunners, so I also took the opportunity to redo a set of defenses for important parts that exceeded 10mm. It can block the impact of two or three times the bullets fired by the machine gunners. As long as there is a time buffer, the self-healing function of the armor can be activated instantly. With the help of the high-voltage current, it flows through the armor and repairs itself quickly and quickly, so as long as It's not that the armor was destroyed on the spot, so don't worry too much.
Thanks to some technologies of the machine gunner production line, the new armor can be made flawlessly, and the seam connection can be said to be unable to even get air. In fact, with the production line of the machine gunner's power armor, it is still possible to add some power assist systems to the new armor, but considering that the energy consumption will be greatly improved after the power system is added, and the sensitivity will also drop a lot, so Li Yunfei still The powertrain was canceled.
It looks a bit similar to Iron Man's suit in appearance, but of course the materials are different, and there are not as many weapon systems as Iron Man, or there is no rain weapon system at all, and there is no power assist system like Iron Man.
Li Yunfei did this, of course, because the response speed of the power system could not keep up with his actions, so he might as well not use it. With the agile growth of his strength in the future, the speed will be faster. It is not good to carry a power system. Increases a lot of energy consumption.
It was because of the absence of the power assist system and weapon system, the suit of armor Li Yunfei made was extremely light, with a total weight of only 25 kilograms.
Although I haven't tested it yet, but in terms of flight speed alone, it should be no problem to surpass the steel suit. Another point is that the defense will be higher, mainly because the defense strength of the spar is too high, and There is also a very powerful self-healing function. As long as there is still electricity, the damaged armor can be quickly destroyed. Of course, it does not count directly.
……
It has been a full 120 days since I came to this world. The weather is sunny and sunny today. It is suitable for the first flight test of the flying armor. This time, I am preparing to fly at supersonic speed, so I specially chose a weather condition with excellent weather conditions. day to try. When the sun just rose, Li Yunfei was equipped with the flying armor that took two days to build, and stood on the roof of the command center.
"Sir, do you really need me to assist in controlling the propulsion system?" Xiaowei, who was in the armor before the test flight, asked again.
"No, you just need to record all kinds of data... By the way, why did you change your name today?"
"Because you are now a scientist, an inventor!
"Uh I'll take you as a compliment."
"Yes, I'm just praising Mr.
"Okay, then, let's start the experiment!"
Everything was ready. Li Yunfei finally activated the propellers. The four propellers under his feet were driven first. The peak output was only 200 kg of thrust. Li Yunfei, who was accustomed to flying, had no feeling at all. The wind technique added some thrust, and the acceleration was a little more than 2 G. Li Yunfei had no feeling at all, so the two thrusters in his hand were also activated at the same time, and the acceleration increased to 3G. Although the overload does not seem to be large, but As time goes by, the speed of the flight is getting faster and faster, because the acceleration of nearly 30 meters per second is always maintained.
It only lasted for more than ten seconds, and the speed has reached subsonic speed. This is still the attitude of upward soaring. It can be seen that the thrust is indeed powerful and efficient.
Of course, it's time to change the flight attitude. It always rises vertically and may rush out of the atmosphere. Now it uses electromagnetic propulsion, not fuel propulsion. Flying out of the atmosphere is not so fun, at least not yet. when.
The attitude has just been adjusted to a nearly horizontal direction, and the flight acceleration has increased by a quarter, and it flew towards the western prairie. The speed is getting faster and faster. After just three or four seconds, the entire armor shook. a bit.
It can be said that it is easy to break the sound barrier successfully, reaching a speed that could not be beat no matter what you did before. After breaking the sound barrier, Li Yunfei did not intend to stop, but continued to increase the speed. The armor only gave out a slight vibration. The entire structure was as stable as Mount Tai, and the energy system and propulsion system were also very stable, and there was no overload. .
