Chapter 360 Eight-hundred-ton hydrogen-oxygen rocket engine

Soon, the design came to their Tiangong Technology's rocket engine laboratory.

"Old Sun, how is the development of our new rocket engine?" After arriving at the laboratory, Wang Bin immediately found the busy old Sun and asked him.

"Mr. Wang! You are here. The research and development of the new rocket engine is being carried out in an orderly manner. Moreover, with the technical information provided by Mr. Wang and the achievements of our Tiangong Technology in materials, we did not encounter any major problems.

But Mr. Wang, you also know that since our company's main computer, namely supercomputer, has not been built yet, and the existing computers in the company can no longer meet our company's calculations, it is still a bit slow in data calculations.

However, when our company's supercomputer manufacturing is completed, there will be no problem in this regard." Mr. Sun replied.

With the various technical information provided by Wang Bin in terms of rocket engines, Tiangong Technology is making very fast in terms of engine research and development. The 500-ton rocket engine has been successfully developed long ago. The Tiangong-4 rocket core-class main propelling rocket engine launched before was launched was the 500-ton rocket engine that used Tiangong Technology.

Now, the thrust of the rocket engine that Mr. Sun and his team is developing is naturally greater, reaching 800 tons, and the fuel used is still hydrogen and oxyfuel. If this rocket engine can be successfully developed this time, Mr. Sun and his team will challenge the rocket engine with higher thrust, that is, the 1,000 tons and 1,500 tons of rocket engines.

Of course, both Wang Bin and Sun Lao are full of confidence in this and do not think that the 800-ton engine they developed or above will fail.

Afterwards, Mr. Sun took Wang Bin to check the progress of each project in the rocket engine laboratory, and finally came to the R&D working group of the 800-ton rocket engine.

However, when Wang Bin came to the 800-ton rocket development team, he found that in the middle of the laboratory, there was a giant that he had never seen before.

That's right, this behemoth is the prototype of the 800-ton rocket engine developed by their Tiangong Technology 800-ton rocket engine R&D team, or a model engine, which is more appropriate.

However, although this 800-ton rocket engine is just a prototype model, the internal structure of this engine, even in many materials, is exactly the same as a real rocket engine. Even if the engine is installed on a real rocket, it can definitely be launched.

But the model is a model after all. Although many materials are exactly the same as real engines, there are still many materials that are not the materials on the real engine, because many materials inside the rocket engine are very expensive. If used on the engine model, it is definitely a waste.

Therefore, although this engine can also be ignited or even worked, its working time can only last for more than ten seconds due to the limitations of internal materials. Once the time exceeds ten seconds, many parts inside the engine will be melted by the high temperature and high pressure generated by the rocket engine.

"Mr. Wang! This engine is a model prototype of the new 800-ton rocket engine manufactured by the laboratory, and it is also a one-to-one rocket engine model. Whether it is the internal or external structure, it is exactly the same as the real engine.

The purpose of our manufacturing of this model engine is to verify whether the basic design data of our engine is correct. If the verification is good, then next, we will start to build a real 800-ton rocket engine. At the same time, we will also start to design rockets with larger tonnage and higher carrying capacity. "Sun Old said.

Wang Bin nodded and looked at this rocket engine carefully.

He found that this 800-ton rocket engine was quite different from the 800-ton rocket engine he provided to Mr. Sun and others before.

The first thing is the engine's spout. Although the size is the same as the technical engine it provides, the material of this engine is much thinner in terms of the thickness of the spout material. In addition, the materials in the large part of the engine are thinner than the technical data he provided before, so the tonnage of this engine itself is definitely much lighter than the information he provided.

Secondly, Wang Bin can clearly see that there are many coils made of superconducting materials wound on them, and there are many equipment and structures that Wang Bin does not know about these coils.

However, although Mr. Sun and others did not tell Wang Bin about the function of these coils, Wang Bin also guessed in his heart that the function of these coils is to effectively protect the nozzle of the rocket engine so that the temperature inside it can reach a higher temperature. At the same time, the engine will run for a longer time under the same material.

In addition, Wang Bin also found that many structures on the engine did not directly copy the technology provided by Wang Bin, but were combined with the technology they mastered, which made Wang Bin very satisfied.

"Old Sun! Since the prototype of this rocket engine has been made, I believe that the real prototype can be started!" Wang Bin asked.

"Yes, our R&D personnel have calculated all the data of this rocket and are now preparing to build the first real prototype. If everything goes well, the first prototype of our engine can be completed in less than a month." Mr. Sun said.

"Very good!" Wang Bin nodded.

Then they were in the laboratory. After watching for a while, Mr. Sun and Wang Bin came to the new concept engine research and development area. There were three laboratories here, namely the pulse detonation engine laboratory, the atomic engine laboratory and the ion engine laboratory.

As for the nuclear-powered rocket engine laboratory, it is not here, but on the third underground floor of their Tiangong Technology Rocket Engine Laboratory. The various safety facilities in the R&D area are in place, and there are security guards watching them for twenty-four hours.

At the same time, few people in the entire Tiangong Technology and the laboratory know the existence of this project. Apart from Wang Bin himself and Sun Lao, there are only military representatives of the military in the entire Tiangong Technology, knowing the existence of this project.

After all, this project is very important for Tiangong Technology itself and the official. As long as Tiangong Technology can make a breakthrough in nuclear-powered engines, the cost of rocket launch will be reduced again, even reaching 10,000 yuan per ton.
