From black technology to super engineering

Chapter 290 Super Capacitor and Laser Cannon

Capital Ronghua Hotel.

And Director Niu, whom I haven't seen for several days, is sitting on the sofa in Ye Ming's room, crossing his legs, with a smiling expression.

"You just come here straight up, aren't you afraid that Academician Gu will feel uncomfortable?"

Ye Ming was looking at the design drawing on the notebook, and was speechless when he heard the words: "Where is the uncomfortable point?"

Director Niu and He Mo laughed together.

You say that Ye Ming doesn't understand the world, but sometimes he understands it quite well, such as rushing to pay for a meal, who has a wedding, funeral, or birthday? At least he never misses the red envelope, and the red envelope is always Every time is also full of "friendship".

He even knew that the first time he saw Director Niu's child, he would give him a red envelope—the kind he asked He Mo to borrow cash for.

But do you think he understands...

It can only be said that when it comes to technological advancement, he does not consider other factors.

"Well, I actually communicated with Academician Gu before I came here." Ye Ming knew what the two were laughing at, he sighed and said, "I read their test plan, and I think they didn't understand Miss San's real needs .”

——Yueyue is the official name of this spaceship, but now it is generally called "Miss San".

Three is the 3 of Helium 3.

The reason for choosing such a name is to pay tribute to "Miss Qiu".

"Miss San's belly is big enough, and there is a margin for full-load thrust—we have at least two hundred tons of redundancy to modify and deploy the cabin equipment, so there is no need to be too compact in design."

Ye Ming paused while speaking: "This is actually my problem. I didn't communicate well. In addition, Academician Gu might want to push GB supercapacitors to the general commercial market... which made his pursuit too high. .”

"Of course, the biggest problem still comes from the military industry." Ye Ming stared at Director Niu, and said angrily, "The added laser weapon is too powerful, and it instantly raised the upper limit of the load—who do you think belongs to this pot? "

Director Niu laughed loudly: "Military industry mouth!"

"So you said, what opinion does Academician Gu have? Obviously not!"

He Mo pursed his lips and smiled: "Actually, I also think that it is enough to put on the window of the missile, and there is no need to put on the laser."

"It's still necessary." Ye Ming shook his head: "We won't talk about active defense, but only in the field of space engineering. A laser is definitely better than a missile, and the use of laser weapons in space was originally one of the routes. Now there are It’s always good to have such an opportunity to try.”

"How powerful is the current laser weapon?" He Mo asked curiously.

"8MW—it can burn through 10cm of titanium armor in one second at a distance of 200 kilometers. If it is replaced with the heat insulation tile of the current ballistic missile, it will take about 5 seconds to burn within 100 kilometers."

"It means it can be used to resist ballistic missiles?"

"If the position is right, it can barely intercept it. After all, there are two launch pads, and the high-pulse one is quite sharp. If it hits with such a large energy, the trajectory will definitely be affected."

He Mo stuck out his tongue: "Does that mean...we will be invincible in the air from now on?"

Ye Ming gave her a helpless look.

Director Niu also looked at her like looking at a fool.

He Mo immediately raised his hand: "Okay, okay, I understand—saturation attacks are too much for anyone."

——Yes, if the location is right, there is Helium 3 engine power generation + super capacitor, there is no problem in intercepting a single ballistic missile and making it deviate from the orbit.

But if it is really hit by saturation...

It is really wishful thinking to stop it with a boat.

In fact, these two laser launchers, including the missile launcher, are essentially set up to intercept some "sudden ill" air-to-air missiles.

As far as the current situation is concerned, the probability of ballistic missiles falling in the country is indeed not high.

But a certain fighter plane suddenly climbed high, and then "confessed the wrong target", and then launched two beyond-visual-range air-to-air missiles...

The probability of such a thing...

There really are.

Otherwise, why does the Third Miss project have to be kept secret? Just don't give some people a chance to think about it.

——Of course, when the launch is approaching, it must be announced globally, and even broadcast live globally.

"Okay, you go to bed early." Director Niu glanced at his watch and stood up.

"Well, He Mo will help me see off Director Niu." Ye Ming glanced at He Mo and replied with a smile.

...

After a while, Director Niu and He Mo returned to the next room together.

Director Niu glanced left and right, didn't bother to go inside, and sat on the bed - He Mo's side is not a suite.

"Can I sit in a chair?"

"My butt isn't dirty." Director Niu said with a chuckle, "How's work going?"

"...Very good." Replied casually, He Mo opened the shoe cabinet next to him.

"It's fine." Director Niu was still smiling, but his eyes became a little serious: "Do you have any ideas about mobilizing your work?"

He Mo was changing his shoes, when he heard the words, he raised his head in astonishment, with a look of incredulity on his face: "What do you mean?"

"Ask if you want to transfer work."

"Do you have any objections to me in the organization?" He Mo threw down his slippers and walked up to Director Niu, his chest began to heave.

"No." Director Niu laughed again when he saw her looking like a calf: "Sit down and talk."

"Boss, how dare I sit if you don't tell me clearly?"

"Well... Actually, several ****D systems have completed a comprehensive evaluation of Aita."

Hearing this, He Mo's eyes widened instantly!

"Going to Aita?"

Director Niu glanced out the window and nodded slowly.

"Now the direct-connected optical fibers of several major bases are being laid in full swing, and the laying will be completed by the end of the year at the latest."

"Once the laying is completed, it means that we have a two-way and one-way response speed within 30 milliseconds of each system terminal in the whole territory, but the project to go online is huge, and it needs a person who knows Aita very well to preside over it. "

Director Niu paused after speaking: "For now, you know Aita best."

He Mo stopped talking.

Director Niu is right, she is indeed...the person who knows the most about Aita and the Ita system—she "edited" the book that is now included in the textbooks of all colleges and universities that offer courses on the Ita system.

Moreover, she has been with Ye Ming for so long, and Ye Ming has never reserved her academically.

But... because of this, He Mo felt...

"Is this the only solution?" He Mo bit his lip and asked softly, "If it's the only solution, of course I will obey the order. If there are other solutions..."

"And, after I leave, do I have to send someone over?"

Director Niu nodded: "He really needs a person as a bridge of communication, whether it's security or anything else."

"Then I think... if there are other plans, it's better not to change people." He Mo said seriously: "He really doesn't like the change of the environment around him."

Director Niu frowned slightly, lost in thought.

The next day, accompanied by Director Niu, Ye Ming arrived at a research center at an aerospace port in a low-key manner.

Because it was time for engine assembly, and because he was in charge of the Xicang Assembly Center, Director Zhang did not appear in the welcoming crowd, and was greeted by Academician Gu himself.

And among the welcoming crowd, another group of people in military uniforms appeared.

...

"Academician Gu, Academician Qin."

Ye Ming hurriedly shook hands with the two of them.

Academician Gu is from the aviation industry and has made great achievements in the field of supercapacitors, while Academician Qin is from the military industry and has been leading the development of high-power laser weapons.

The two joined together, apparently also to test the supercapacitor.

"Haha, Professor Xiaoye—no, it should be Academician Xiaoye soon!" Academician Qin joked with a military demeanor, holding Ye Ming with a pair of big hands—the two of them had actually met a few times in the video.

"Um, don't dare dare..."

"Why don't you dare? It's a certainty!" Academician Qin waved his hand: "Let's go, I'll wait for you!"

...

A group of people went to the base, and observed a "laser cannon" as they wished—yes, that is the kind of light that makes a "chirp" sound in science fiction movies—after burning a hole in the steel plate, everyone returned to the base. The meeting room next to it.

"That's right, Academician Gu."

Ye Ming pondered for a moment and then said softly: "It may be a communication problem before. In fact, when we designed the spaceship, we adhered to the idea of ​​making great efforts to create miracles."

Academician Gu looked at him seriously.

"Otherwise we wouldn't use the super capacitor solution, right?" Ye Ming said with a smile.

Everyone nodded in unison.

The so-called super capacitor is actually a farad capacitor-it can be charged and discharged many times.

Compared with lithium batteries, its advantages are very obvious.

First of all, the charging time is extremely fast, from a few seconds to a few minutes, it can be fully charged to more than 95%.

Secondly, the power density is high, and the power density can usually reach more than 100W/kg, which is about 10 times that of lithium batteries.

The last cycle life is extremely long-the kind that starts 100,000 times.

The only disadvantage is that its energy density is low, and commercial supercapacitors are only about 5% of lithium batteries.

In short, only it can achieve short-term high-power storage and discharge-of course, the flywheel is also fine, but it is obviously not suitable for use on spaceships.

"Therefore, we don't need to tackle technical difficulties for it, as long as it meets the requirements for its power and energy to be completed."

Academician Gu frowned slightly: "It means adding a few capacitors and you're done?"

Ye Ming coughed lightly: "Theoretically, it's true—you see, the margin in the energy cabin is sufficient."

Academician Gu immediately stopped talking.

Director Niu took a deep look at Ye Ming.

Ye Ming was unmoved, and smiled slightly: "Of course, this first ship can be so extravagant and wasteful, but it doesn't mean that every ship in the future can do this-we still have to pursue a technological revolution, right?"

Hearing these words, Academician Gu looked a lot better and nodded.

Although it is indeed difficult to complete the supercapacitor plus the entire storage and discharge system, it is only an engineering difficulty.

With Aita's help, none of this is a big deal.

There is no truly revolutionary technological breakthrough in this project.

Frankly speaking... this really made Academician Gu a little dissatisfied - especially after using his patent, it didn't achieve the design that 1+1 is greater than 2.

Now what Ye Ming means is that there is no need to be so "advanced"...

Even the current solution to the problem is still very low-level...

"And I have been thinking about the management of supercapacitors during this time. I suspect that the real problem may lie in the power devices."

Academician Gu was stunned, and immediately looked at Ye Ming: "How to say?"

"The power devices have now been fully transferred to..." Ye Ming paused, he still doesn't like to say "Ye Dy".

"Carbodysprosium compound." Ye Ming said with a smile: "We have been analyzing the properties of this compound in the laboratory in the past. You can take a look if you have time."

Speaking of which, Ye Ming ordered Aita to send a document to Academician Gu.

The latter looked at the notebook, only took a few glances, and immediately moved closer to the monitor, as if he wanted to get into the computer.

Seeing this, everyone looked at Ye Ming.

Director Niu, in particular, opened his mouth slightly in surprise.

Ye Ming shrugged slightly and told him with his mouth.

Done!

...

Half an hour later, Ye Ming left Academician Gu's office, and then came to Academician Qin's side.

Lao Niu has been waiting for academician Qin for a long time.

"Haha, Academician Xiaoye, welcome." Academician Qin smiled and served tea for him: "How did you get Lao Gu out of here?"

"Actually, I gave him a new one..."

"Ye Di," Academician Qin added with a smile.

"Cough... Well, it's the unannounced characteristics of the crystal." Ye Ming smiled and took a sip of tea: "As long as a set of proprietary power devices are redesigned according to the new characteristics, the current problem can be solved theoretically."

"But it's too late." Ye Ming exhaled softly and looked at the calendar.

No matter how fast Ye Ming completes the design, no matter how fast the tape-out arrangement is, it still requires engineering. In addition, the entire capacitor circuit management and control system must be adjusted.

——This is the result of many simulations by Ye Ming.

Therefore, if we had to wait for Academician Gu to complete, the assembly progress of the entire spaceship would have to be delayed by at least three to four months.

It's better for Ye Ming to send a personal favor, so that old Gu can settle the current project goals with peace of mind, and then develop new technologies on the next spaceship.

And according to Ye Ming's estimation, Academician Gu's supercapacitor is indeed worth trying - it can quadruple the peak power that current supercapacitors can provide when the engine's electrical conversion rate is doubled!

This means... more powerful laser weapons can be carried!

"That's right... Time doesn't wait for me!" Academician Qin touched his graying hair and smiled emotionally: "I never thought before that one day, laser weapons will be used on spaceships."

Director Niu laughed and said, "Only a controllable nuclear fusion engine can provide power for laser weapons!"

Ye Ming coughed: "To be precise, it's the Helium-3 fusion engine!"

"Then tell me, what kind of weapons do they use for Laomei's space program?" Academician Qin is also a wonderful person, blinking at Ye Ming: "No laser weapons? Or boil water in space?"

Ye Ming and Director Niu laughed at the same time.

I can't handle the Helium 3 engine. Even if your deuterium-tritium fusion engine goes to the sky...you can also use the plasma beam to generate electricity, but how can that amount of power be compared with the Helium 3 fusion?

Amidst the laughter, Ita's voice suddenly rang in Ye Ming's ears.

——"Ye Ming, Professor Huo Laien sent an email. He is currently on the plane from Java to HK."

Ye Ming was stunned.

"How to say?"

"Let you pick him up."
