The next day came, and the two Strike Gundams brought the two prototypes of the pseudo-solar furnace to the test site on the ground. They chose an isolated island not far from Izanagi Port.
"Each department conducts final inspections."
"Strike the whole system is normal."
"Strike Night Walker's entire system is normal."
"The pseudo-solar furnace is started, the output is stable, the energy conduction is normal...the whole system is normal!"
When everything was ready, Erica Simmons turned and looked at Yang Hui.
"Let's get started." Yang Hui nodded and agreed to the start of the simulation test.
"The test begins. Strike and Strike Night Walker take off and execute the first phase of the test program."
"Understood." X2
The two Strike Gundams flew into the air without any help and were tested according to the test procedures. The first, second and third phases were all very smooth. The first three phases of the project were to test the pseudo-solar furnace on the large scale.
Will it be affected by airflow, temperature, humidity and other conditions in the natural environment, and will it cause additional burdens and threats to the body?
After testing, there are no problems and it can maintain normal operation even underwater.
"The fourth phase...begins." By the fourth phase, everyone became nervous, and Erica Simmons did not dare to look away from the screen recording the body data.
The fourth stage of testing, also known as the limit test, gradually increases the output power of the pseudo-solar furnace to test the limit threshold, while maintaining the movement of the body to test whether the body can withstand the output of the pseudo-solar furnace.
"Understood."XN
"Mu, Major Xiubaliai, please pay attention to your safety."
"Don't worry, I am a man who makes the impossible possible."
"learn."
Whether it was Mu's glib tongue or Morgan Xubalie's rigorous answer, Erica Simmons was relieved a lot. The two had completely different personalities, but they were both reliable people. Otherwise, Erica Simmons
Rika Simmons will not let the two of them serve as test pilots for the pseudo-solar furnace.
"Check, is the forced cut-off system functioning properly?"
"normal!"
"Very good, always pay attention to the body data. If there is any danger, cut it off immediately!"
"learn!"
This is the back-up plan prepared by Erica Simmons. A forced cut-off program is set up on the two pseudo-solar furnaces. Once the pseudo-solar furnace is overloaded, all connections between the pseudo-solar furnace and the body can be immediately cut off, and then the machine body is disconnected.
Eject out to ensure the safety of the test pilot.
Not to mention that Mu is her lover, Mu and Morgan Subaliai are Orb's precious aces. If the experiment fails, they will have to start over. The value of the ace pilot is much more precious than the two prototypes of the pseudo-solar furnace.
.
Fortunately, the design drawings given by Yang Hui were very complete, and the manufacturing process was personally supervised by Erica Simmons, without any cutting corners. Seeing the output that was constantly approaching the theoretical threshold, Erica Simmons felt nervous and slow.
Slow relief.
At this moment, an alarm suddenly sounded in the headquarters.
"Beep beep beep..."
"Just forcibly cut off the program immediately!" The alarm sounded, and Erica Simmons gave the order to cut off without even thinking for the safety of Mu and Morgan Xubalie.
"Director Simmons, there are no abnormalities in the No. 1 prototype and the No. 2 prototype. The output has always been within the safe range. It is the machine body, and the output exceeds the load of the machine body!"
The subordinates did not immediately execute Erica Simmons' order, but reported the details to her. Everyone knew that the safety of the test pilot's life was the first priority, but it was not the danger of the pseudo-solar furnace.
They are also reluctant to abandon the pseudo-solar furnace.
"Is it overloaded?" Erica Simmons was stunned for a moment, immediately checked the detailed data, then retracted the previous order and issued the correct instructions, "Mu, Major Xiubaliai, please reply after receiving it."
"Received, please speak." X2
"The test is over, slowly reduce the output of the pseudo-solar furnace and return to base."
"Understood." X2
After the communication ended, Erica Simmons immediately began to check where the load problem on the body was. The theoretical threshold of the pseudo-solar furnace indeed exceeded the ultra-compact energy battery, but it was not as good as the nuclear engine. Apart from the appearance, the two Strike Gundams
The appearance of the Strike Gundam is retained, and the materials of the armor and frame, the conduction system, and the electronic system are all upgraded according to the specifications of Dawn Gundam, Archangel and other aircraft.
In other words, Strike Gundam can withstand the output of the nuclear engine. It stands to reason that even if the output of the pseudo-solar furnace reaches the threshold, it will not exceed the carrying capacity of the body.
"The problem lies in the conduction system." Yang Hui suddenly said.
"Conduction system?"
"Yes, the conduction system does not perfectly transmit GN particles throughout the body, and the anti-gravity properties do not evenly cover the body, resulting in uneven force on the body when moving at high speeds."
As he spoke, Yang Hui called up the specific data of the two Strike Gundams, and at the same time overlapped the coverage of GN particles on the body with the location of the problem in the body parts. When the correspondence was perfect, the problem became obvious.
"So that's it..." Erica Simmons breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was not a big problem, it was just a modification of the conduction system, which didn't take much effort.
"The machine will be ready as soon as it returns. You will cooperate with me to perfect the new conduction system."
"You want to participate personally?"
"Well, complete all tests as soon as possible, and then start mass production. It is best to ensure that all ace's aircraft are equipped with pseudo-solar furnaces before the destruction of [Julius 7]."
"All ace machines need it? But...don't you already have a nuclear engine?" Erica Simmons wondered. Nuclear engines are better than solar furnaces, but the cost is too high. At the same time, the popularization of nuclear engines will also affect
Because of many people's nerves, mass production was not carried out. They are still exclusive to Dawn Gundam, Archangel, Cherubian, De Angel, Freedom Gundam, Justice Gundam, and the Rebirth Gundam and Covenant Gundam sealed in the [Terminal].
"The pseudo-solar furnace is not as good as the nuclear engine in terms of output and endurance, but the characteristics of GN particles cannot be discarded. I plan to adopt a dual-energy system."
"Dual energy system!?"
"That's right, nuclear power engines and pseudo-solar furnaces are used at the same time to complement each other."
"But... is this possible?"
Erica Simmons understands Yang Hui's decision. After all, the characteristics of GN particles are so excellent and irreplaceable, but the dual-energy system has never appeared before, and it is a dangerous move. Can two energy sources be used?
Compatibility, will there be any rejection, etc.
And if an accident occurs, the pseudo-solar furnace is okay, but once the nuclear engine explodes, the area of damage and losses will be huge.
"I already have an idea to solve the problem of energy transmission system first, and then study the dual energy system."
"...Understood, but there is one thing I have to remind you first. Although the pseudo-solar furnace is cheaper than the nuclear engine, Orb's resources may not be enough if everyone wants to have one."
If it were only popularized among MS troops, Orb's current resource reserves would be enough, but Erica Simmons knew that Yang Hui's comprehensive popularization included battleships, and the pseudo-solar furnaces needed for battleships would be expensive.
"Let's do it step by step according to priority. If it doesn't work, the mass production machine will be replaced with a GN particle storage tank for the time being."
