Chapter 256 Nearly a thousand tons of thrust!

Tongchuan, Aerospace New Power Test Center!

As Zhao Mo pressed the "Start" button, a deafening "rumbling" sound immediately exploded and spread from the test bench to the command center.

The strong vibration was like an earthquake. Everyone in the command center could feel the strong tremor and hear the roar of the rocket engine's successful ignition.

The rocket engine was like a giant beast from ancient times. It roared like thunder and shook the world. Everyone was shocked by the sound and couldn't stop trembling!

On the huge display screen in front of them, a real-time picture of the engine ignition and startup appeared.

As far as everyone could see, at the moment of ignition, a bright flame shot out from the engine mouth, rippling into circles of bright and dazzling shock waves. This was a diamond-shaped shock wave, also called a Mach ring.

The flame was a transparent blue, very similar in color to the blue of the sky, with only a hint of red mixed in.

After the flames spurted out, they rushed straight into the reservoir at the foot of the mountain.

In an instant, a huge amount of water in the reservoir evaporated, rose up, and turned into a sky full of white mist, billowing straight into the sky.

Everyone stared at this scene blankly, fascinated by it!

beautiful!

So dreamy!

This is the aesthetics of industrial violence, the aesthetics of technological power, the romance that belongs to all astronauts, and the romance of all human beings looking at the stars!

I don’t know how long it took, but in what seemed like an instant, the dreamlike transparent blue flame disappeared, and the roaring sound of the engine also disappeared.

Test drive is over!

"Twelve seconds!"

A researcher in Zhao Mo's team stood up and reported loudly.

"Thrust nine hundred and ninety-three tons!"

Another researcher stood up and reported in a louder voice.

At this time, everyone came back to their senses from their daze.

clap clap clap...

The next moment, everyone applauded warmly!

Minister Liu, the leaders of the Space Administration and the Sixth Academy all showed happy and excited smiles on their faces.

Minister Liu stretched out his hands and shook hands with Zhao Mo tightly, laughing heartily and saying: "Congratulations, Professor Zhao, you succeeded!"

Zhao Mo came back to his senses and felt excited in his heart. However, after nodding slightly, he said with a smile: "It should be said that half of the success is achieved. There is still a lot of work to be done later."

Minister Liu was startled for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, Professor Zhao, you are right!"

His address to Zhao Mo quietly changed from "you" to "you".

At this moment, there was only one thought left in his mind: "The amazing Professor Zhao has shown his magic again! In the future, is there anything he can't do in the field of scientific research?"

Zhao Mo didn't notice this subtle change. He was so excited that he looked at his team. Everyone was smiling, and many people had tears in their eyes. They were obviously very excited.

Especially the only female student, Li Guoguo, covered her mouth with tears falling.

Zhao Mo had a smile on his face, and then walked over and hugged them one by one.

"Thank you guys!"

Afterwards, Zhao Mo applauded them and thanked them, saying: "Thank you for your efforts during this period. I will treat you all to a big dinner tonight, and then I will give you a five-day National Day holiday."

"Oh oh oh~"

"Thank you God Zhao!"

"Thank you teacher!"

Everyone immediately cheered happily.

Minister Liu and others showed smiles on their faces again, and then applauded them and congratulated them on their success.

After lively cheers, Zhao Mo, on behalf of the team, and Minister Liu and other leaders reported the detailed data of the engine test: thrust of 993 tons, test run time of 12 seconds, etc., and then said: "...Although It is a pity that the engine thrust does not exceed one thousand tons, but this is within the allowable fluctuation range of the project. Therefore, I think this test run of the one thousand tons high thrust rocket engine was a success!"

Minister Liu applauded and congratulated again.

Academician Long, Academician Li Dong, Director Gao, Director Tan Kaihua and others also applauded and congratulated him and his team again.

Subsequently, as the highest official at the scene, Minister Liu spoke to Zhao Mo and Zhao Mo's team on behalf of relevant government departments, congratulating them on the success of their work and thanking them for their outstanding contributions to the country...

Then, everyone in the command center gathered together, lined up in two rows, and took a group photo under the command of the accompanying CCTV reporters and photographers.

Zhao Mo deservedly took the C position, standing in the middle of the first row with Minister Liu.

Click! Click! Click~

As the shutter was pressed, the happy smiles of everyone were recorded.

Also recorded was a red banner in front of everyone, which read "Congratulations on the complete success of the first test run of the one-thousand-ton high-thrust rocket engine" in twenty-one large characters.

After the excitement, everyone in Zhao Mo's team and the staff at the test center began their busy work again.

"When is the next trial run?" Minister Liu originally planned to leave first, but he subconsciously asked Zhao Mo.

Zhao Mo answered him: "Check it first. If there is no problem, we will conduct a second test drive."

"what?"

Minister Liu was stunned for a moment, and after he realized what he was doing, he quickly asked: "If we conduct a second test run at such a short interval, won't it cause damage to the engine?"

Zhao Mo was in a good mood, so he just smiled slightly and then answered this "layman" question: "Minister Liu, what we have developed is a recyclable engine that can be reused many times."

Minister Liu: "..."

It's so embarrassing. I was so happy just now that I forgot about this.

"Okay, I'll go back after watching the second test drive."

He nodded immediately and said happily.

Zhao Mo didn't have any objections, so he went to work after talking to him.

"It actually worked!"

Seeing the busy figures of Zhao Mo and his team, Director Tan Kaihua and Director Gao looked at each other among the people who came to visit, looking at each other with an incredible look behind their happy smiles.

Nine hundred and ninety-three tons of thrust, which is actually a thousand tons of thrust, completely in line with Zhao Mo's goal at the time. Or rather, this test run means that the high-thrust rocket engine developed by Zhao Mo and his team has fully achieved their shooting goals.

The data of "993 tons of thrust" is actually the highest thrust of the world's rocket engine!

none of them!

Even Da Maozi's RD series only weighs more than 1 tons, and America's F- rocket engine only weighs more than tons.

Uh..., yes, only!

At this moment, Director Tan Kaihua and Director Gao dared to use "only" to describe America and Da Mao's high-thrust rocket engines.

The thrust of 1 tons completely surpasses the Damao RD series and America F- engines, and it is not just a little bit better, it is an order of magnitude higher than them.

"How did he do it?"

Director Gao asked Tan Kaihua in a low voice. He was a little puzzled by the fact that they were all developing rocket engines, the same people, and the same supply chain. How could they turn decay into magic in Zhao Mo's hands?

Is it just because a large AI model improves material performance?

Can't you?

"It should mainly be related to the design plan!"

Tan Kaihua frowned, and then said: "I just noticed that the tail flame emitted by the engine during the test run was almost pure transparent blue, with only a little red, even at the nozzle. This shows that its combustion is very complete, and It doesn’t affect the main body of the engine very much!”

"Like this?"

Director Gao listened thoughtfully, but still couldn't believe it.

The more complete the combustion, the greater the energy released.

Everyone knows the truth, but how to make the fuel burn most fully and release the maximum energy is a great test for the design and manufacturing of rocket engines.

Just like improving the yield rate in production, it is easy to increase the yield rate from 70% to 90%. It may be possible to increase the yield rate from 90% to 93% or 95% with hard work, but it needs to be increased from 95% to 97% or even 99%. , then it cannot be achieved through hard work, it is a basically impossible task.

In his opinion, increasing the thrust from one to two hundred tons to three to four hundred tons may be achievable through hard work, AI models to improve material performance, good design solutions, and other means. However, it is an impossible task to increase their existing one to two hundred tons by ten times and build an engine with a thrust of nearly one thousand tons.

However, the facts were before his eyes, shattering all impossibilities. He had to believe it even if he didn't believe it.

Then, he remembered what he had said about the N-S equation before. He suddenly looked up at Tan Kaihua and said, "Tell me, is there a possibility that Professor Zhao has solved the N-S equation?"

Tan Kaihua immediately shook his head and said: "Professor Zhao never lies. If he said no, then he didn't."

A look of disappointment suddenly appeared on Director Gao's face, and then he said: "We can only find out after seeing Professor Zhao's summary report."

"Yes."

Tan Kaihua nodded.

On the other side, Academician Long and Academician Li Dong were also discussing the success of the engine test run.

But what was different from the topic they discussed was that while Academician Long and Academician Li Dong were happy, they paid more attention to their own work fields.

"Teacher, the engine with a thrust of 1,000 tons has been developed by Professor Zhao. It seems that our rocket design should also be greatly adjusted. Otherwise, if we have an engine but no rocket, then the joke will be big."

Li Dong said excitedly, his eyes shining with expectation and desire for the earth-shaking changes that are about to come to the aerospace field.

"Yes, we need to make major adjustments. Not only our rocket design, but also our three-step aerospace strategy needs to make major adjustments!"

Academician Long nodded, then glanced at Zhao Mo not far away, and said with emotion: "Professor Zhao is much better than us in making the liquid oxygen methane solution reach nearly one thousand tons of thrust. In the future, China's aerospace industry It’s his world!”

Li Dong, who was still excited: "..."

Teacher, don’t tell me when you see through it. Even if you want to say it, could you please not say it in front of me? This hurts my self-esteem!

Ahem, although this is an upcoming fact~
