Chapter 471 Nuclear Power Engine, We Are No. 1

Chapter 471 Nuclear Power Engine, We Are No. 1

After Lin Yijun finished his manuscript, he immediately sent it back to China via email.

Domestic editors are naturally already waiting for this manuscript.

Overall, this news is still very shocking.

Because, if space fighters are real, they have the potential to subvert modern warfare.

After all, other people's planes are flying in space, and they can also hover at any time.

That would be too great a threat to a specific target.

After reading the news, editor-in-chief Guo Peiran immediately reported it to the relevant departments.

Naturally, the leader received the news as soon as possible.

After reading the news, his brows furrowed.

Because this new fighter is really a bit sensational.

Just looking at the parameters listed by Giant Eagle is enough to scare people to death.

Of course, based on what happened at the press conference, it is also possible that this space fighter is just a gimmick.

The leader immediately called Zhao Xiansheng, the head of the Air Force, and asked him to come to his office.

Zhao Xiansheng himself is in the capital.

So, it went very quickly.

"Leader! Zhao Xiansheng is here to report!" Zhao Xiansheng saluted the leader.

The leader asked him to sit down.

"Have you heard? Eagle claims to have built a powerful space fighter."

"This plane is great. It can take off directly from the airport and can switch between the atmosphere and space environments."

"It can also conduct long-term aerial patrol and surveillance, and can stay in the air for 100 to 200 days at a time."

“It’s pretty scary.”

"They even said that this aircraft has already been put into service."

"What do you think?"

Zhao Xiansheng said: "I personally think that this is just bragging."

"You don't have to pay taxes on bragging anyway!"

The leader said: "Strategically underestimate the enemy, but tactically take the enemy seriously!"

"Comrade Xiansheng, since they dare to say it, it means they must have figured it out."

"Space fighters, are we following up as well?"

Zhao Xiansheng scratched his head and said, "It seems not yet."

"Space, that falls under the category of aerospace."

"It seems that the aerospace industry has developed a space shuttle."

"However, after evaluation, they believed that the space shuttle was useless and purely ostentatious, so they simply stopped the project."

"If this space fighter wants to take off from a ground airport and fly directly into outer space, it will consume a lot of oil and fuel."

"I guess that ordinary aircraft engines cannot produce such a large thrust."

"But what if we use a turbojet engine? That would consume too much fuel."

"After taking off directly from the ground into space, the fuel must have been almost used up, right?"

"The fuel is almost used up. How does it achieve long-term cruising in space? How will it come down from space in the future?"

"It's really not easy to realize the concept of this space fighter."

"I estimate that this goal can only be achieved when nuclear reactor engines can be used on aircraft."

"But nuclear reactor aircraft are really difficult to deal with."

"The reactions that take place in nuclear reactors generate a lot of heat."

"If the heat dissipation is not properly managed, a serious crisis could easily occur."

"Both Giant Bear and Giant Eagle had nuclear-powered aircraft in their past."

"Why didn't they fix it? It's because they couldn't fix the heat dissipation."

"So, I don't think they can build a nuclear-powered space plane."

After listening to this, the leader nodded and said, "It seems that what you said makes sense."

"However, I heard from Comrade Haoran that the temperature in the universe often drops to dozens of degrees."

“Can air-cooling really be achieved?”

"Comrade Haoran has also been thinking about it. He is actually trying to solve the power problem of space travel."

"As far as the current plans are concerned, only nuclear fission power and nuclear fusion engines can achieve this."

"Nuclear fusion is currently impossible, at least for several decades."

"A nuclear fission engine is probably the most likely option."

After hearing this, Zhao Xiansheng looked a little serious: "So, is it really possible for us to develop a nuclear fission engine?"

The leader smiled and said, "Comrade Haoran really believes that it is possible to develop a nuclear fission engine for use in aircraft."

"Comrade Haoran thinks that now we just need to work out some technical details."

Zhao Xiansheng said, "Leader, I think we should call Comrade Haoran over and let him give us some guidance to see if he thinks that Giant Eagle has really developed a space fighter."

The leader nodded, and he asked Song Qingfeng to call Wang Haoran.

In fact, Wang Haoran had already seen the news about Eagle’s space fighter at this time.

After reading it, Wang Haoran burst into laughter.

The other party's fraud was really clumsy.

As for the video they showed, it was so shoddy.

Didn’t they even notice that there was an unobtrusive watermark on their videos?
The watermark shows the name of the animation software they use.

The name of this animation software is called "Pangu Animation Production".

Although the watermark is not noticeable, if you look closely, magnify it, or look at it through monochrome verification glasses, you can immediately see the watermark.

This watermark will not appear under normal circumstances.

However, if someone uses animation software to create a more realistic animated video with a storyline, the watermark will immediately and quietly be embedded in the four corners of the video.

Perhaps the Eagle Production Company that took on this job was pressed into a hurry.

So, they worked hard to make the video.

After they finished it, they took a quick look at it and found no problems.

So they quickly submitted their manuscripts.

Of course, Eagle King and others could not see any flaws.

Because, are they all laymen?

They never dreamed that there would be something else in this video.

Wang Haoran was looking for loopholes in the video released by Giant Eagle when Song Qingfeng called him.

"Comrade Haoran, the leader asked you to come over immediately."

"Don't you already have a special pass?"

"Then we won't pick you up!"

Wang Haoran took a car to meet the leader.

In the past, his car was not allowed to enter the area where the leaders lived.

But now, his license plate has been registered.

So, he can now go in smoothly.

Wang Haoran's car entered the courtyard where the leader lived.

The leader and Zhao Xiansheng were already waiting.

"Hello, leaders! Hello, Comrade Xiansheng!"

The leader laughed and said, “You came so quickly!”

"Come in, let's talk."

Wang Haoran walked into the leader's office.

The leader turned on the TV with the remote control, and someone quickly played the video of the so-called space fighter that the Giant Eagle played again. "Haoran, what do you think of this video after watching it?" The leader said with a smile.

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "Leader, I think the eagle is really no longer viable."

"They are making this space fighter, but they don't even let reporters see the real thing. They just want to make a fake video to fool people."

"This behavior is really stupid."

Zhao Xiansheng's eyes widened: "Is this video really fake?"

Wang Haoran said: "It couldn't be more fake."

"Come here, Comrade Xiansheng, I'll show you something strange."

Wang Haoran held an electronic pen in his hand and pointed it at the upper right corner of the video on the computer screen.

A Pangu Animation logo appeared there.

The leader was also a little moved: "Ah?!"

"This is really made with animation software..."

Wang Haoran laughed and said, “Yeah, they have no bottom line, haha!”

"They want to make it big, so I guess they've put a lot of effort into it this time."

"Maybe. They haven't even finished the PPT yet."

“Then they started showing off.”

"Really? I've never seen such a shameless person."

The leader asked, "What's going on with this shadow? Why does this logo appear in their animation?"

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "Because they are trying to commit fraud by making this animation."

"So, when our software encounters this situation, it will automatically put the logo on the four corners. This is also to prevent someone from using this to deceive the public."

The leader was surprised: "Oh! So that's how it is."

"Didn't they even notice this?"

Wang Haoran said: "Maybe they didn't think much about it."

"I guess this might be another genius idea that the Eagle King came up with on the spur of the moment."

"The time is quite short, and Eagle King is eager to release the results as soon as possible."

"They took a cursory look and thought it was pretty intimidating."

"Then you can just take it out directly?"

The leader shook his head and said, "This is typical self-deception."

"They are really a little crazy."

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "I'm afraid they can only live by deceiving themselves now."

"If they don't deceive themselves a little, how can they live their lives?"

"But I think we can give it a try and prove what they've said."

The leader and Zhao Xiansheng immediately became interested.

"Comrade Haoran, do you really want to develop a space fighter?"

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "Didn't we build an aerospace carrier before?"

"That thing is, after all, a space fortress."

"This aerospace carrier can use a nuclear power reactor to provide huge thrust, so entering space should not be a problem."

"The aerospace carrier can accommodate space fighters, and releasing them will not be a problem for them to fight in space."

"Isn't that much more impressive than their space fighters?"

The leader said, "I heard you talk about the aerospace carrier."

"You mean, we can do this now?"

Wang Haoran said: "It's okay to try it."

"With the current strength of our nuclear reactors, it is definitely not possible to develop space fighters."

"But, building an aerospace aircraft carrier is no problem!"

Wang Haoran explained it to his leader.

For a nuclear reactor, safety is definitely the top priority. Comprehensive protection must be provided, and isolation lead plates and heat dissipation systems must all be well established.

The reactor itself is already very heavy.

Get a heavy protective shield.

Just think about it, how heavy is this reactor?
An ordinary space fighter weighs only thirty or forty tons in total.

It can't even accommodate a nuclear reactor engine.

Because it is just a nuclear reactor engine, and the lightest one weighs dozens of tons.

It’s a small plane, there’s no chance of success at all!

But there is no such worry for the aerospace aircraft carrier.

The total weight of the aerospace aircraft carrier will reach an astonishing several thousand tons or even tens of thousands of tons.

It can carry a complete reactor without any problems.

Zhao Xiansheng said, "Comrade Haoran, in other words, this aerospace aircraft carrier we envisioned doesn't actually have a very high technical threshold?"

Wang Haoran shook his head and said, "Of course not."

“Its technical threshold is still quite high.”

"Our current nuclear reactor technology can be said to be the best in the world."

"No one's reactor is safer than ours."

"Our reactor uses a passive cooling design."

"That is, even in the event of a power outage, the reactor can cool itself down automatically."

"And its principle is: when the core temperature rises, the nuclear fission efficiency naturally decreases, thereby reducing heat generation, thus ensuring the safety of the reactor."

"These are all our own unique design innovations."

"Our reactor can actually be used on large aerospace equipment."

Zhao Xiansheng clapped his hands and said with a smile, "So what? Can we get one out and try it out first?"

The leader frowned and said, "I think we should be more cautious about this."

When it comes to nuclear power, we must ensure 100% safety!
"We must not allow even the slightest bit of insecurity to exist."

"If an aerospace carrier flies over the earth and something happens, the whole world will be in danger."

Leader, these are some mature and prudent words.

After all, this thing is flying in the sky.

If it breaks down one day and falls down suddenly, will it explode like a mushroom egg?
If it explodes, wouldn't our country be the first to suffer?
Wang Haoran smiled and said, “In fact, the aerospace carrier uses a nuclear reactor engine, which has the same effect as that used by large ships.”

"As for risks, many of Giant Eagle's ships now use nuclear reactors."

"There are almost as many nuclear power reactors in the bears as well."

"Even bears and icebreakers are using nuclear power."

If something goes wrong, won’t humans also be in trouble?

"In fact, now Eagle and Bear have their own large nuclear-powered aircraft."

"Leader, have you heard of it?"

The leader nodded and said, "I know this."

"They are generally used on bombers and large transport aircraft."

“The voyage was horrible.”

"It is said that one of Eagle's nuclear-powered bombers can fly over 4 kilometers."

Wang Haoran said: "In fact, the technical content of nuclear-powered aircraft is really not as high as we imagined."

"Especially the nuclear-powered aircraft that Eagle and Bear developed. They basically copied the nuclear reactor technology on Earth and put it on the aircraft."

"But what I want to say is that their nuclear engines are too inefficient and simply don't have the explosive power we imagined."

"So, they didn't get any extra benefit from nuclear-powered aircraft." (End of this chapter)
