Chapter 173 Questions
Of course, it is impossible to stop at such a few thousand tons of equipment at such a fast speed.
However, with the performance of this equipment, even if there is any problem during driving, it will not have any impact on the personnel in the equipment.
"Captain Hu, you immediately open the equipment's self-test program and prepare for the final self-test before the test." As Hu Haiyun and others entered this alien ground combat unit, Shi Lei immediately ordered.
Although this extraterrestrial ground combat equipment will be on extraterrestrial planets in the future, such as Titan, this does not mean that this equipment cannot be used on Earth and Mars. In fact, this equipment can still be used on Earth or Mars, and its power is equally powerful.
Soon, the self-test procedure of the equipment completed the self-test of this equipment. In Shi Lei's order, the equipment began to start the preparation of the internal small radiation-free nuclear fusion reactor, and powered up and preheated the entire equipment.
"Report, the reactor starts normally!
The integrated power system starts normally!
The radar system is started normally!
The life support system starts normally!
The water circulation system starts normally!
The air circulation system starts normally
......
...”
As the equipment began to be powered on for the first time, Hu Haiyun and others began to report on the situation of this equipment, and Shi Lei and others also paid attention to the data of this equipment at all times and reported to Hu Haiyun and others.
Soon, all the systems of this equipment were started and no problems occurred, which made Shi Lei and others breathe a sigh of relief. After all, this marked that the equipment designed by their stone machinery was basically successful. Of course, the specific one depends on this equipment to conduct real functions, such as driving and speed tests, artillery fire tests, anti-strike ability tests, propulsion system tests, radar system tests, etc.
However, due to some projects, their stone machinery cannot be tested at this time. Even if they have a venue, they must obtain authorization from the military and the Ministry of War, such as artillery shooting tests, anti-strike ability tests, vehicles equipped with extreme survivability, and internal personnel guarantee performance tests, etc.
So Shi Lei and his team actually don’t have many test projects today, and the most important thing is the operation of the equipment at various speeds, turning speed and other items.
So after the core energy of the equipment, that is, controllable nuclear fusion and various subsystems were successfully started, Shi Lei immediately ordered Hu Haiyun and others: "Start the main engine system immediately and prepare to start driving tests."
With Shi Lei's order, Hu Haiyun immediately pressed the button to start the main engine.
Just as Hu Haiyun pressed the copper wire, a slight sound appeared on this alien ground combat unit immediately. Neither Hu Haiyun nor Shi Lei or others were concerned about this sound, because they knew that this was the sound produced by this alien ground combat unit, the main engine was powered on and idling.
Although the main engine of this equipment uses a high-power motor as the main engine, it is impossible for the main engine to start immediately without preheating. In this way, it will not only cause uncontrollable damage to the motor, but will even cause certain damage to the transformer of the integrated power system, etc., and even directly burn the transformer. After all, this equipment is too heavy.
Therefore, after starting the main engine, the main engine's motor system must be idled for a while before it can be started.
However, there is no need to preheat for very long, as it only takes ten minutes, so after Shi Lei and others boarded for about ten minutes, Shi Lei looked at it and saw that the time was almost over, and he ordered.
"Captain Hu, start this equipment and drive forward at low speed."
"Yes!" Hu Haiyun said, and at the same time he put the gear lever in the gear that was moving forward at low speed and gently stepped on the accelerator.
With Hu Haiyun's operation, this alien ground combat unit began to vibrate slightly in the attention of Shi Lei and others, and then slowly moved forward. Of course, the speed was very slow at the beginning, and if you were not careful, you wouldn't be able to see it at all. However, the speed became faster and faster. Finally, when the speed of this equipment reached about ten yards, it began to keep this speed forward.
Shi Lei and others all got on an electric car, followed this equipment, and paid attention to the situation of this equipment at any time.
In this way, Shi Lei and others followed this alien ground combat unit. After about ten minutes, Shi Lei and others also smiled. After all, in their opinion, if this equipment can last for ten minutes, it means that this equipment can be used for a longer time.
But what Shi Lei and others did not expect was that just when they smiled, suddenly, an alarm sounded from the notebook in Qin Xuanbing's hand. Shi Lei and the others knew that the alarm sound was an alarm sound from the data monitoring system of the alien ground combat unit in the computer, prompting them that the alien ground combat unit that was slowly driving in front of them had a problem at this time, and it was not a small problem.
"What's going on? Check the data immediately. What's wrong?" Shi Lei immediately said with a little depressed hearing the alarm of the computer in Qin Xuanbing's hand.
"Boss, according to the data of the data monitoring system, there is a problem with the main engine system. The data shows that the temperature of the main engine has reached its limit. If it continues to run, the main engine will be unable to work due to overheating, and may even affect the entire prepared subsystem, or even the entire integrated power system!" Qin Xuanbing said.
"...but now it's only ten yards! And it's only running for about ten minutes. This, this main engine system has overheated, and this manufacturer that produces main engine motors is too unreliable. You must know that in order to enable their motors to be equipped with our equipment, we have specially installed multiple heat dissipation modules, but even so, this motor can only run for about ten minutes?" Shi Lei was even more troubled at this time.
After all, it only took ten minutes to run at low speed, and the main engine system of the equipment was overheated. If it was running at high speed, the main engine system would not strike immediately.
"Boss, judging from the current situation, the main engine system, including the motor, is definitely not available. After all, this is only in the local area. If it is on alien planets, especially those with harsh environments, this system will not be able to be used." Qin Xuanbing also said.
At this moment, Han Zhenghao, who had been lowering his head and looking at something, suddenly spoke: "Boss, maybe I know why. Because this main engine system turned out to be the main engine of a sea-surface ship. When installed on the ship, since the ship has been sailing at sea, it can be used to cool continuously. It is not possible to place it on our alien planetary ground combat weapon. It is impossible for us to continuously provide water for this main engine system to cool it, and we can only use water circulation and wind to cool it.
However, such cooling efficiency is definitely far from comparable to the sea water provided by the continuous sea, and even if we use a large number of strong cooling systems, it cannot be compared.
At the same time, I also think that this main engine system will definitely not be used on our equipment. After all, if this equipment relies on a low-temperature planet when it is on the battlefield in the future, then this main engine may be able to run for a while, but once it reaches a high-temperature planet, the engine will definitely strike immediately. In this case, the military and the Ministry of War will definitely hold us accountable.
