Chapter 58 Hall thruster solution

More than thirty minutes later.

Interior of the conference room of the National Institute of Aerospace Studies of Xia Kingdom.

Under Cao Liangcai's urging, all the researchers in the institute quickly sat in their seats.

Lu Yongchang stood at the conference table, glanced at everyone with a serious look, and then reached out and turned on the projector.

"Everyone, I believe everyone has received a notice from the upper-level leaders."

"The Long March 10 heavy carrier rocket project will stop research and development from now on."

Although everyone present received the news last night, at this moment, each researcher still showed a look of sadness and reluctance on his face.

With a five-year research cycle, it is no exaggeration to say that the Long March 10 heavy launch vehicle project is like a child carefully cared for by these scientific researchers!

"I'm also doing research. I can understand the discomfort in your heart."

"However, I believe everyone knows the current situation of Xia Kingdom!"

Feeling the heavy atmosphere in the conference room, Lu Yongchang took a deep breath and then pressed the left mouse button: "Xia Guo needs a more effective way to promote it!"

The changed lights of the projector attracted everyone's attention.

Electric Propulsion Technology

“Electric propulsion?!”

"This...this is impossible!"

In just a moment, the conference room became noisy.

A series of doubts followed by Lu Yongchang's ears.

As the director of the research institute, Cao Liangcai's face changed slightly, and he looked at Lu Yongchang with a confusion.

"Ahem..."

Seeing the discussion in the conference room getting louder and louder, Cao Liang had to stand up and cough gently.

"Professor Lu, what you mentioned is the electric propulsion system, but the Hall propulsion?"

Lu Yongchang nodded slightly, with a smile in his eyes: "What? Academician Cao has any research on this?"

Cao Liangcai's pupils shrank suddenly!

Hall thruster... It's indeed Hall thruster!

He smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Professor Lu, if you want to use Hall thrusters instead of chemical fuel rockets... I advise you to give up earlier."

A hint of confusion appeared in Lu Yongchang's eyes: "How do you say this?"

Cao Liangcai sighed slightly: "Professor Lu, you should be interested in Hall thruster's counter-rush, right?"

Lu Yongchang's expression slightly condensed, and then nodded.

Seeing this scene, Cao Liangcai's eyes were even more bitter!

"Our institute has done research on the Hall thruster project a long time ago."

"At first, we were all full of confidence in it, and many academicians even believed that the Hall thruster was the most perfect propulsion system!"

"It's a pity that reality is always much crueler than imagined."

"In the laboratory, the maximum thrust of the Hall thruster is about 200 milliN."

Speaking of this, Cao Liangcai sighed deeply again.

"Professor Lu, what can 200 mmon beef do?"

"In the atmosphere, can you push a few sheets of a4 paper?"

"Just like this, do you think the Hall thruster can replace traditional chemical rockets?"

Faced with Cao Liangcai's doubts, Lu Yongchang chuckled and said calmly: "Academician Cao, don't be anxious first."

"It's not too late to listen to me before making a judgment."

While talking, Lu Yongchang gently pressed the mouse again.

"Academician Cao, please ask, what is the power of the Hall thruster in the research institute?"

Cao Liangcai looked at a black cylinder on the projection screen and couldn't help but be stunned.

What's this thing?

With his knowledge, he couldn't recognize the objects in the picture?!

Hearing Lu Yongchang's question, he subconsciously answered: "It's about 20 kilowatts."

Lu Yongchang knew it.

The next moment, a mysterious smile appeared on Lu Yongchang's face: "What if I say, I can increase the power to more than 1,000 megawatts?"

Cao Liangcai gasped suddenly.

Even though he had been through the storm for a long time, he couldn't help but feel shocked and jumped up from the chair next to the conference table with a loud noise!

"What did you say?!"

“1000 MW?!”

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Lu Yongchang's mouth and he nodded slightly.

Cao Liangcai's pupils trembled slightly. He swallowed gently and asked hoarsely: "Professor Lu, do you know what 1,000 megawatts is the concept?"

"Is it possible? Do you want Pangu No. 1 to provide energy for it?!"

Speaking of this, Cao Liangcai's heart moved slightly.

A crazy thought slowly emerged from his heart.

Could it be...

He turned his head suddenly to look at the projection screen beside him!

"Pangu No. 1 is not." Lu Yongchang nodded with a smile and continued, "However, there are really small fusion repositories."

"What?!"

"Damn it?!!"

"What a thing?!"

In an instant, a few screams rang out in the conference room.

Ignoring these "noises", Lu Yongchang corrected his expression and pointed his hand at the projection screen: "I'll introduce it to you."

"The latest achievements of Xiaguo First Laboratory, fusion reactor miniaturization technology."

"What you see is the core part of the small fusion reactor, equivalent to Pangu No. 1's reactor."

"Two meters high and one meter in diameter!"

“Currently rated power is 1,000 megawatts!”

“…”

As he finished speaking, the conference room fell into silence.

Cao Liangcai stood at the conference table blankly, his hands trembling slightly because of excitement.

"Professor Lu... Are you saying true?"

It’s not that he doesn’t trust Lu Yongchang’s words.

It's really incredible!

Just recently, Pangu No. 1 fusion reactor was just released.

Just over a month later, the fusion reactor miniaturization technology is in front of him?!

Cao Liangcai even reached out and grabbed his thigh hard!

Hiss! It hurts so much!

"Of course it's true!" Lu Yongchang looked solemn, "Yesterday, under the witness of Chairman Li, the first ignition experiment of a small fusion reactor was a complete success!" ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ

"Although the supporting power generation device has not been designed yet, I can guarantee that within one month, the small fusion reactor technology will be completely mature!"

Cao Liangcai took a deep breath.

I have to say, he was moved!

1000 MW of power!

Even the simplest and most rough multiple conversion, the Hall thrust with a small fusion reactor can have a full 1 ton of thrust!

“What about…heat and loss problems?”

Cao Liangcai's heart moved slightly and remembered a very important question.

Ordinary wires cannot withstand the strong current of small fusion reactors!

Lu Yongchang chuckled and pressed the mouse again.

"How about room temperature superconducting coils?"

"What?!" Cao Liangcai's eyes suddenly widened, "Xia Guo already has room temperature superconductor technology?!"

"Otherwise, Academician Cao, how do you think we built Pangu No. 1?"

Lu Yongchang asked happily.
