"Chairman, this is our aero-engine research institute. The current main research direction is electric aero-engines. These engines are also an important part of the super battery supporting facilities project..."
Entering the supporting R&D center, the person in charge introduced carefully. Zhang Fan also listened carefully.
Aviation engine, this engine is not the electric propeller engine used on the Airbus. It is a real jet engine.
Large turbofan engines, turbojet engines, turboprop engines, etc. These engines used to use fuel, but now they use electricity.
In the past, even with graphene batteries, it would have been impossible to make these engines electric.
Because these engines are too powerful, an engine of this power requires a very high voltage. Ordinary batteries cannot provide such a high voltage. Even if they can, the internally stored power may not be able to sustain it for a few minutes.
But now with super batteries, they see hope. Super batteries not only store incredibly high energy, but also provide very high voltages.
Under this circumstance, there is hope for the electrification of such high-power aero engines. However, turning aero engines into electric still requires a lot of research, which involves many things.
However, the progress of the research institute is still relatively fast now. The experiments of several engines on the ground have achieved good results. Under the condition of stable voltage, the performance displayed by these electric engines makes the researchers very excited.
Compared with fuel engines, electric motors have many advantages. The biggest advantage is precision. Through precise current output, the engine output can be made more stable and precise.
In addition to these, the thrust of the electric motor is easier to increase. As long as the materials pass the test, many things are simple and crude. Increasing the output voltage can quickly increase the engine speed, thus providing greater thrust.
"Chairman, the engine you see is our T100 project engine. This is an electric turbofan engine. It is progressing smoothly and is expected to be officially mass-produced within five years..."
Looking at the big guy in front of him, Zhang Fan also took a breath of cold air. The engine in front of him was too big, and it looked very beautiful.
This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is performance. The reason why it is called T100 is because the thrust of this electric turbofan engine is as high as 100 tons.
The thrust of a single engine is as high as 100 tons. This thrust is terrible. The current engine with the highest thrust in the world is the Soyuz rocket engine, but the thrust of this engine is only 81 tons. And this thing is a disposable thing.
The engine that is actually put into commercial use is an American engine. However, the maximum thrust of this engine is currently only 61 tons.
Now the T100 directly increases the performance to 100 tons, which is of great significance. You must know that the greater the thrust of the engine, the larger the aircraft can be sent into the sky.
At the same time, it can also make the aircraft fly faster. High-thrust aero engines have always been the focus of research and development in various countries around the world.
Now Zhang Fan has a super battery here, which can directly realize overtaking in corners. An engine with a thrust of 100 tons can be put into mass production within five years. This is so important.
In the research of electric aviation engines, Longteng Group is at the forefront of the world. Currently, no country in the world has started this research. After all, it is not realistic to electrify high-power aviation engines without matching energy sources.
It's only possible if you install a nuclear reactor on an airplane. So now, no country in the world has started researching it.
But since Longteng Group discovered the super battery, it has started research and invested heavily.
In the huge laboratory, the turbofan engine is started, and the first prototype has been produced. Although there are still many problems, there is no problem in starting.
When the engine is started, the air flow visible to the naked eye from the engine nozzle looks very impressive. However, unlike the fuel engine, you cannot see the flame at all, only the air flow.
As the power increases, the airflow becomes larger and larger. The sound becomes louder and louder, but it all looks so beautiful.
There are many problems that need to be solved in the development process of high-thrust engines. But there are also many gains. By developing engines of this level, a lot of technology can be gained.
With these technologies, it will be much simpler to develop small-thrust engines. This is also the main strategy of this research institute.
After seeing this engine, Zhang Fan's heart was beating fast. Huai Bi is guilty, the super battery is the largest Heshi Bi.
Coupled with such supporting facilities, this is a gadget that can overturn the whole world. Zhang Fan alone cannot protect such a thing.
For this thing, it can be said that the two big countries are eager to go to war. How can a small private sector dare to own this thing?
Zhang Fan remained silent and followed the researchers into the deepest part. In the deepest underground base, a huge submarine was being developed.
Super submarine, this submarine will use super batteries as power. Using batteries as energy source is very important for submarines.
Looking at the Big Mac in front of him, Zhang Fan laughed. This is a Super Big Mac, a strategic-level super submarine.
A super submarine with a displacement of 50,000 tons is too large. You must know that the most advanced strategic nuclear submarine in the United States has a displacement of only about 18,000 tons.
Even the Typhoon class, the largest submarine built by the former Soviet Union, had a maximum displacement of only 25,000 tons, but now this submarine has a displacement of 50,000 tons.
Big. The first impression this submarine gives people is that it is big. The slender body is like an enlarged version of a torpedo.
It looks pointed, with a length of 250 meters and a width of 25 meters.
The first feeling is that it is big, and the second feeling is that it is beautiful. But when you enter the interior, you realize the difference between this submarine and other submarines.
The interior space of this submarine is very spacious. This spaciousness is not only due to the increase in displacement, but also due to the overall structural layout.
Because it is not nuclear power or traditional fuel power, it can be more casual in the energy layout. Super batteries are not only more malleable, but also have good willfulness and hardness.
Therefore, the design of the entire submarine completely distributes the batteries evenly around the submarine and inside the hull. Through this arrangement, space is saved, and the submarine's defense capability is also increased. It also allows the submarine's front, rear, left, and right counterweights to be changed.
Be more reasonable.
Entering the interior of the submarine is completely different from the imaginary submarine space. This is not a submarine. It is simply a luxury cruise ship. It is so comfortable to work in such a submarine.
