After watching the ion engine laboratory, Wang Bin and Sun Lao came to the atomic rocket engine laboratory. At the same time, the atomic rocket engine being carried out in this laboratory is actually one of the most important projects for Wang Bin, Sun Lao and others.

After all, compared to the various difficulties in ion engines, the difficulties of ion rocket engines are much smaller.

At the same time, in terms of thrust, the maximum thrust of the atomic rocket engine of their Tiangong Technology can reach 60 kN, which is about 60 tons. Of course, compared with other engines, the one they have completed now The self-weight of the six-ton ​​atomic rocket engine is also relatively large, reaching about 1.5 tons, which means that the thrust of this engine is not only about four to five, but also its own volume is not small.

The maximum diameter of the entire atomic engine has actually reached 1.5 meters, and the maximum length has reached about 3 meters, but its nozzle is not large, only about 15 centimeters. In fact, this is also the reason why the thrust of this engine is not large.

Of course, if this engine is only based on the current situation, such gravity and thrust are not very useful, but Wang Bin is confident that as their Tiangong Technology continues to develop in this area, this engine will Its volume and weight will definitely decrease rapidly, and its thrust will also be greatly improved.

In fact, this is why Wang Bin, Sun Lao and others attach great importance to this engine.

After all, compared with traditional rocket engines, the advantages of this atomic motive are too great.

Traditional rocket engines, in addition to using the fuel itself, must also carry a large amount of oxidizer or liquid oxygen, but this atomic rocket engine is different. When this rocket engine is working, it does not need oxidant or liquid oxygen. It only needs to provide electricity and fuel to work, and this kind of engine consumes not much electricity.

Take the 60kN-class engine they developed as an example, the power consumed is only less than 50kW per hour, and at the same time, the fuel consumption is also higher than that of traditional engines. Much smaller, most importantly.

At the same time, the flame ejected by this engine is also very fast, according to calculations, it can reach up to about ten percent of the speed of light.

It is precisely because this engine has so many advantages that Wang Bin, Sun Lao and others attach so much importance to it.

Although the atomic engine of Tiangong Technology has developed the first medium, 60kN, Wang Bin and Sun Lao are obviously not satisfied with this, and are now conducting more in-depth research and development on this engine. And for the research and development of the next atomic engine, it has also been fully launched, and the design of the drawings has begun.

As for their next atomic engine, Wang Bin's goal is to make its thrust reach 80 to 100 kN thrust without increasing its own weight or even reducing its current weight. Of course, it can reach even higher The higher the thrust, the better.

However, just as Wang Bin was excitedly checking the progress of various new rocket engine projects in the laboratory.

Suddenly, Wang Bin's cell phone rang.

Hearing the sound of the mobile phone, Wang Bin was a little depressed, but he still frowned, took out the mobile phone from his pocket, looked at it, and found that it was not someone else who called this time, but Qiu Shi from the military. , he could only helplessly answer the phone.

After all, since Master Qiu called, he must have something important to discuss with him, otherwise, Master Qiu would not have called him, after all, they are extremely busy during this time.

Leaving aside the base next to Tiangong Technology and the construction that is about to be completed,

They also need to make preparations to settle in. At the same time, because more official aircraft manufacturing companies in China have obtained a large number of engines with excellent performance from Tiangong Technology, they have launched a variety of new aircraft one after another.

Although these aircraft are basically improved from existing models, there are also some manufacturers who have designed new types of aircraft, and these require them to pay attention to and even provide professional test pilots for test flights, and then carry out Various audits.

Although Master Qiu and the others were very busy, Wang Bin knew that they must be in a good mood right now.

"President Wang, something serious happened!" Just as Wang Bin answered the phone, Qiu Shi's urgent voice came from the phone.

Hearing Qiu Shi's eager tone, Wang Bin also immediately realized that this matter must be of great importance, and at the same time, he was sure that this matter had something to do with Tiangong Technology, so he immediately asked in a deep voice, "Master Qiu! What happened?" Something happened."

At the same time, the ominous premonition grew stronger in his heart, otherwise, Master Qiu's tone would not be like this.

After all, accidents in the field of speed are basically very serious compared to other accidents, such as car accidents.

If the aircraft is damaged, the maintenance cost alone is basically calculated in tens of millions. If it is serious, it is very likely to cause the aircraft to crash.

Could it be that the plane equipped with their Tiangong technology engine had an accident? Wang Bin thought to himself.

The voice from the phone confirmed Wang Bin's conjecture.

"Mr. Wang! Just a few minutes ago, a No. 6 new model equipped with your Tiangong Technology tg-wsx1 engine crashed at a certain base in our northwest. Fortunately, the crew successfully ejected and no casualties were caused.

As for the cause of the crash, according to the flight data of the plane and the pilot's description, it was because the engine was stopped in the air and ignited several times while the engine was flying, but failed to restart the engine! "Master Qiu said in a deep voice.

"What!" Wang Bin was startled, and immediately felt the tremendous pressure and responsibility.

Now Tiangong Technology, as an aero engine and aircraft manufacturer, is absolutely duty-bound to stop the engine in the air.

At the same time, he also has doubts in his heart, because every engine designed by Tiangong Technology pays great attention to its various performances, especially in terms of engine safety. After all, aeroengines are no better than other vehicles. , once there is an accident in the air, it will definitely be a big deal, and there may even be a situation where the plane crashes and people die.

You must know that the flight altitude of general aircraft can reach an altitude of thousands or even tens of thousands of meters, and the speed of the aircraft is also very fast. Once the engine fails and cannot work, the consequences can be imagined.

At this time, Wang Bin's mood became heavy, but fortunately, this accident only caused the crash of the plane, and there were no casualties. This is definitely the greatest luck among misfortunes.

"Master Qiu! Can you tell me about the specific situation?" Wang Bin asked.
