Chapter 316 Rapidly rotating UFO, new discoveries in high magnetic field experiments!
Wang Hao was surprised when the leader bluntly mentioned that he was looking forward to seeing anti-gravity aircraft on display at next year's military parade.
Advanced research on anti-gravity is confidential, and anti-gravity aircraft are naturally confidential as well.
Why would a confidential anti-gravity aircraft be officially unveiled at a major ceremony that attracts international attention?
Wang Hao talked with the leader again, and after adding his own thinking, he almost understood.
The reason is simple - key technologies are confidential, but possessing high-end aircraft itself is not confidential. Not only is it not confidential, but it must be displayed openly and openly so that all other countries can know.
In fact, the meaning lies in deterrence.
This is also one of the main purposes of the military parade, which is to showcase the high-end weapons it possesses, such as high-end missiles, tanks, aircraft carrier technology, etc., which must be displayed after they are manufactured.
This is actually related to the current international situation.
It is impossible for a super-large war to break out in the world now, otherwise it is very likely to fall into the miserable scenario of the earth being leveled by nuclear weapons and the end of the world coming.
In some areas where real wars occur, the direct participants cannot be two big countries. The two big countries can only play games instead of fighting directly. Otherwise, if the situation cannot be controlled, it may bring disastrous consequences.
Anti-gravity aircraft does sound very high-end, but no matter how high-end the technology is, it is just an aircraft and an aircraft and weapon that can be used in military affairs.
Its destructive power and deterrent power cannot match that of an intercontinental missile carrying a large number of nuclear warheads.
Therefore, the emergence of anti-gravity aircraft only lets the world know that flower growers have the most high-end, advanced technology aircraft, but it cannot play a decisive role in the entire international situation.
It is still impossible for major countries to truly fight each other.
At the same time, it is still the most lethal nuclear weapons that play a decisive deterrent role.
Therefore, when there is military technology, it must be displayed. Only by showing it can everyone know about it, and it can act as a deterrent.
The emergence of anti-gravity aircraft will not have a direct impact on the situation of big countries, but excellent air power will obviously play a role in local disputes. In this way, it can gain recognition from small countries in some regions. While bringing influence, it may also bring about influence in the future.
some economic benefits.
These are all positive in nature.
"So, what kind of technology needs to be completely confidential to play a decisive role?"
"Nuclear research?"
"High-end space weapons?"
On the way back to the West Sea, Wang Hao couldn't help but think about it. Perhaps only the research on nuclear weapons and high-end aerospace weapons were the technologies that could really play a decisive role, and they needed to be laid out quietly and not made public at all.
These two areas…
"It seems that only research on strong annihilation power has potential..."
Wang Hao thought and shook his head.
It is difficult to say the development direction of strong annihilation force research. What can be found currently is related to alloy manufacturing, that is, it can be applied to materials science.
As for the follow-up, it's hard to say.
"Only with more new discoveries can we advance the research on strong annihilation force and expand its application to various fields."
…
Wang Hao returned to Xihai and rested at home for only one day before going directly to the anti-gravity aircraft research and development base.
Now anti-gravity aircraft have improved compared to before. They can now take off and land autonomously, fly horizontally at a slow speed, and reach an altitude of 100 meters.
This height may not seem like a big deal, but it is actually a qualitative breakthrough.
When an aircraft can lift 100 meters into the air, it means there is no problem at altitudes below 1,000 meters. However, they only conduct simple demonstrations at altitudes and have no practical significance for testing.
The reason is simple - confidentiality.
On the premise that the technology is not so perfect, they will not let the anti-gravity aircraft fly too high, otherwise the world will definitely know the news.
Even the last time it lifted off 100 meters, it was a test in an uninhabited area, which also entailed great risks.
The current goal is to be able to demonstrate it in October next year. By then the technology must have reached a certain level, and the most basic aircraft can fly at high speeds and have more flexibility than ordinary fighters.
Of course, there is also technical stability, which means there can be no mistakes during the presentation.
With the commitment of the No. 2 leader to support, the manufacturing time of some design components will definitely be greatly shortened, and research on aircraft can be increased.
That's what Wang Hao thought. He summoned the technical team leader and all the people in charge, and immediately set the next goal. "We can now take off and land normally and fly horizontally at low speeds, but there are still many problems."
"I won't go into details about the electronic system issues. We must continue to improve this aspect and solve any problems we encounter."
"In addition, we will start to demonstrate the acceleration, high-speed flight and deceleration of the aircraft."
"Also, flexibility is a big issue."
"Now we use electric thrusters for steering. This design is too crude and greatly limits flexibility..."
The electric thrusters are installed under the cabin, and the four thrusters responsible for steering are installed in the middle of the cabin.
The thruster is very small compared to the entire aircraft, and the position where the thrust is exerted can even be regarded as a 'point'. If the thrust is exerted at one point, if the thrust is too great suddenly, it may even cause the entire aircraft to 'roll over'.
Therefore, the electric thruster responsible for steering can only reduce the power as much as possible, and the power given at the beginning of the rotation may even increase slowly from zero.
This results in the aircraft's flexibility being severely limited, and steering becomes a big problem.
In the following days, Wang Hao began to gather everyone to conduct demonstrations and asked them to think of other steering methods. Many people looked to fighter jets for inspiration.
Wings are the most proposed idea.
"If a steering wing is installed above the main cabin, the aircraft can be controlled to turn automatically."
"We can design the electric propeller to only run in one direction, flying forward like an airplane, with the wings controlling the direction..."
This idea is feasible.
Nowadays, normal airplanes are like this. The engine is fixed and only runs in one direction. It does not give force in other directions. The steering of the airplane depends on changing the direction of the wings, just like a sailboat in the sea.
The direction of the sail can change the direction of sailing.
Wang Hao directly rejected this idea, and the reason he gave was very simple, "We are studying anti-gravity aircraft, not conventional aircraft."
"If the aircraft's steering method is used, its flexibility will definitely not be as good as that of conventional fighter jets."
"The flexibility can't even keep up with conventional fighter jets, so what's the point of our research?"
The others were suddenly speechless.
Wang Hao didn't have any good ideas, so he could only let everyone use their brains.
Later, a Ph.D. in mechanics named Zhou Chang made an interesting suggestion, "Can we make the entire aircraft rotate quickly?"
"Like some UFOs..."
Many people suddenly have an image of a UFO flying saucer spinning in the sky, and almost subconsciously feel that the suggestion is unreliable.
Wang Hao's eyes lit up after hearing this. What he lacked most was inspiration, and he already had it.
Thinking from the theoretical design direction, Zhou Chang's suggestion is indeed feasible. When the aircraft wants to turn, the entire aircraft will rotate rapidly. The faster the rotation speed, the faster the steering will be.
The physical logic can refer to the constantly rotating football. When the football continues to rotate, the trajectory it draws in the air is an arc.
This is mainly because the speed of the two ends of the rotating football relative to the air is different. The side with higher speed exerts less overall pressure on the ball, so the forces on the two sides are naturally different, resulting in an arc trajectory.
However, there are also technical issues before us. It is not a problem to allow the aircraft to rotate as a whole. No matter how the aircraft is designed to rotate, the main compartment where the pilot is located, which is the most central position, will definitely not rotate.
So the biggest problem is the main bearing pressure capacity.
After turning on the anti-gravity weight reduction of the entire aircraft, the weight will still exceed two tons, and the continuous rapid rotation will definitely challenge the main bearing pressure capacity.
In addition, it will also cause some other problems.
For example, most parts of an aircraft will bear the pressure caused by high-speed rotation, which will form a centripetal force pointing toward the center. The faster the rotation speed, the greater the centripetal force and the greater the angular momentum.
Then each component must be fixed so that no position changes occur during rotation.
When the internal electronic system is running and rotating, some magnetic fields or other side effects may also occur.
These are all problems.
Regarding all the accompanying problems, everyone worked together to discuss and solve them. In the end, the problem that was difficult to solve was the spindle problem. The performance of the current spindle is no longer sufficient. Coupled with the rapid rotation of the steering, a piece of super performance and super long service life is needed.
Spindle.
In the eyes of many people, this problem cannot be solved at all.
…
Wang Hao is not sure whether the problem can be solved. He still has to look at the performance of the spindle manufactured by Hanshi Industry.
Now the Antigravity Behavior Research Center has cooperated with Wuhan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. and uses high-strength superposition positions to continuously magnetize the materials shipped by Wuhan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd.
Wuhan Iron and Steel uses magnetized materials to manufacture special bearing steel.
There will be news soon.
The first batch of magnetized materials shipped back has been made into steel ingots, and the properties of the steel have also been tested.
Wang Jiming told Wang Hao directly about the final test results. His tone was so exciting that he felt like he would faint from excitement.
"2.2 to 2.4ppm!"
"Academician Wang, do you know what this data represents?"
"This super steel is more than twice, or even three times, tougher than the previous steel!"
"It's simply unbelievable. I even went to the testing room and did some testing. It's difficult to make a mark on that kind of steel with a hammer..."
"Although there is no specific data yet, and a lot of tests need to be done, it is absolutely amazing..."
Wang Hao breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
In many studies, he usually has expectations in mind, but the manufacturing of bearing steel is really difficult to predict, because he only added a process to ensure that the oxygen content of the steel can be reduced.
Theoretically speaking, when the oxygen content of steel is reduced, the impurity content will be greatly reduced, which will greatly improve the toughness and service life.
The so-called toughness is as Wang Jiming described it, ‘It is difficult to make a mark with a hammer’.
During the operation of a bearing, it has to withstand huge deflection forces for a long time. The bearing steel must have sufficient toughness, that is, the shape will not change under various bumps and pulls. The manufactured bearing can
Has adequate performance and service life.
Wuhan Iron and Steel produced the first batch of "special bearing steel", part of which was used for testing, and most of which were shipped to Hanshi Industry.
Hanshi Industry will use their production lines to use this batch of special bearing steel for confidential production to manufacture the main shafts required for anti-gravity aircraft. The manufacturing time will take more than half a month.
Although there is still a lot of waiting, the expected time has indeed been greatly shortened.
This reflects the role of the No. 2 leader. As soon as he opened his mouth, he asked several departments to coordinate and cooperate to quickly manufacture the required bearings.
If there were no senior leaders to speak up, Wuhan Iron and Steel alone might delay for another half month. They are not deliberately delaying, but they need to conduct detailed testing of the steel to confirm that it can be used to produce high-end bearings.
Because it involves major confidentiality issues, it will definitely take some time for the special bearing steel to be transported from Wuhan Iron and Steel to the factory of Hanshi Industry, and even require military-coordinated escort. At the same time, attention must be paid to the impact on surrounding areas.
As for Hanshi Industry, they will not cooperate immediately, but will make time for production and manufacturing while ensuring regular production.
etc.
Now, the manufacturing time has been greatly shortened, and the anti-gravity aircraft research team can get the bearings produced under strict supervision in the shortest possible time.
Wang Hao was waiting for the spindle to be manufactured and shipped, and was also concerned about other research.
Strong annihilation power.
Research on strong annihilation force was also in a waiting process before.
What they want to start studying is the new discovery made public by Philip's team, that is, the high magnetic field causes the antigravity field to shift directionally.
Wang Hao believes that the directional deflection of the antigravity field is directly related to the characteristics of the edge region, and can be studied in conjunction with the superimposed force field.
Therefore, the research team cooperates with the Institute of High Energy. The Institute of High Energy will provide magnetic field manufacturing equipment and help build a large-scale "high magnetic field enclosed space."
It will take a long time to build the latter.
The former, the magnetic field manufacturing device, has been transported to the Antigravity Behavior Research Center.
This magnetic field manufacturing device also looks very impressive. It is about five meters high and can half cover the large superimposed force field device. After the installation is completed, it can completely cover the central superimposed force field.
The technicians sent by the High Energy Institute also introduced to Wang Hao, "We have been studying this device for a long time, and it also uses superconducting technology."
"The magnetic field intensity at the inner edge of the device is the highest, reaching about 10T, and the center position is almost 6T. As long as there is sufficient power supply, the magnetic field can always be maintained."
As he spoke, he sighed, "It's really amazing. Only superconducting technology can continuously maintain such a high-intensity magnetic field."
Wang Hao nodded with satisfaction.
The magnetic field strength at the center of this device also exceeds 6T, and the magnetic field can be maintained continuously, which is indeed quite remarkable.
In fact, sustained high-intensity magnetic fields can only be produced 'economically' using superconducting technology.
Ordinary strong currents can also create high-intensity magnetic fields, but they are relatively uneconomical. Both the cost of the device itself and the power consumption are very staggering.
Because the technology for manufacturing superimposed force fields has been stabilized, testing the device directly enters the experimental process. Simply put, it means turning on the superimposed force field device at the same time.
Originally I thought it was just a test of the device, turning on the superposition stance. The device was only symbolic, and I didn't intend to actually discover anything.
But the result was very unexpected.
During the device test, Wang Hao stood in the safe room and heard Wang Shanqing's shout from the headset, "The magnetization reaction of this group of materials is much stronger than the previous data, even twice as high as
1.7T!"
Wang Hao immediately asked, "Could it be the influence of the high magnetic field environment?"
"Won't."
Wang Shanqing affirmed, "Ordinary metals will no longer be affected if they leave a high magnetic field environment, and they will not be magnetized, so I conclude..."
"There must be some kind of change at the edge of the superimposed force field!"
