On the test bench inside the institute, a square engine with a dark black body was full of mysterious colors.

This is the research result of everyone in more than ten days!

Improved Hall thruster.

To put it more accurately, it is Hall propulsion unit!

Next to it is a cylindrical small nuclear fusion device!

At this time, the small nuclear fusion device was equipped with various facilities and was a whole circle larger than the beginning.

But even so, among all the large generators, it is still the slimmer one.

The injection port of the Hall propulsion unit is facing a concrete wall made of special materials!

The function of this wall is very simple.

Block the jet wake of Hall propulsion unit!

The working fluid used by the Hall propulsion unit is a high-temperature helium ion flow generated by nuclear fusion.

Therefore, the injection wake temperature of the Hall propulsion unit is extremely high!

It can even reach hundreds of millions of degrees Celsius!

"Professor Lu, all inspections have been completed, and the Hall propulsion unit can start trial operation at any time!"

When Lu Yongchang heard the report coming from his side, he looked a little solemn.

He nodded cautiously: "Prepare to start the trial run!"

"yes!"

With Lu Yongchang's order, the eyes of the researchers in the institute suddenly became excited!

Although this is not the first Hall thruster in human history.

But this is definitely the first Hall thruster in human history to reach the KN level!

As the small fusion reactor slowly started, a low buzzing sound followed.

“The small fusion reactor works fine!”

"The power output is normal!"

“Prepare to start Hall propulsion unit!”

Academician Cao Liangcai, who was standing beside him, swallowed slightly, and his right hand trembled slightly and pressed the button on the control table in front of him.

The next moment, a faint blue plasma flow appeared at the jet port of the Hall propulsion unit!

As the operating power of the Hall propulsion unit continues to rise, the light of the plasma flow gradually becomes stronger!

The thrust data displayed on the screen in front of everyone is also gradually increasing!

1kn!

10kn!

50kn!

100kn!

The thrust data gradually stabilizes.

Cao Liangcai, who was standing beside him, stared at the thrust number in front of him, and the next moment, a hint of excitement burst out in his eyes!

"Success! We've succeeded!"

"100kn! 10 tons of thrust! This is 10 tons of thrust!"

Cao Liangcai's lips trembled slightly, and his eyes were obsessed with a glimmer of blue light in front of him.

beautiful!

So beautiful!

This dark blue flame symbolizes the entry of human aerospace technology into a new era!

Chemical fuel has become a past tense at this moment!

After a brief joy, Lu Yongchang took the lead in calming down.

"Okay, let's stop the Hall propulsion unit first!"

"Stop? Why should I stop?" Cao Liangcai subconsciously frowned, "Just strike while the iron is hot and test the various data of the Hall propulsion unit!"

Lu Yongchang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Academician Cao, before this, would you look at the concrete wall?"

Cao Liangcai was stunned for a moment and turned his head to look at the concrete wall in the distance.

I saw a deep pit burned out in the center of the concrete wall, which was as thick as one meter!

Seeing that the wall was about to be burned through, he realized that he rushed to press the termination button!

Facing Lu Yongchang's teasing eyes, Cao Liangcai couldn't help but blush. He said in anger: "Damn, who is responsible for this wall!"

"What shit material are you using! I can't hold on for just a few minutes!"

"Did you cut corners for labor and capital?"

"...Director Cao, yes, I'm responsible." A researcher smiled bitterly and stepped forward, "The materials used were approved by you, and they are already the best quality batch."

Cao Liangcai: "..."

...

One hour after the trial operation, Hong Qiming finally rushed from Beijing to the Aerospace Research Institute.

Originally, Congressman Li was going to come in person, but because of some trivial matters, the task eventually fell on Hong Qiming.

"Hongbu? Why are you here?"

Seeing Hong Qiming's figure, Lu Yongchang's eyes were full of surprise: "Didn't you just returned to the capital this morning?"

Hong Qiming glanced at Lu Yongchang with a resentful look on his face: "What do you think?"

"My Minister of Science and Technology is almost your errand now!"

If you think about it carefully, it seems that this is the case.

Since Lu Yongchang appeared, he, the Minister of Science and Technology, has gradually become a microphone between the Chairman of Congress and Lu Yongchang!

Lu Yongchang, who knew that he was in the wrong, smirked and did not reply.

Hong Qiming did not continue this topic. He corrected his expression and said, "What do you say? Is the experiment going to begin?"

Lv Yongchang: “…”

"Uh... the experiment has ended."

Hong Qiming: "????"

What's the thing?

it's over?

Then he is in vain!?

Hong Qiming had a look of stool on his face.

"Ahem...but I can tell you the result."

Looking at Hong Qiming's gradually changing expression, Lu Yongchang hurriedly said: "The trial operation was successful, with a single Hall propulsion unit thrust of 100kn!"

Hong Qiming was slightly stunned and murmured to himself.

"100kn... uh, 1 kilogram is about 9.8 Newtons..." www.bǐqυgetν.℃ǒm

Lu Yongchang: "…almost 10 tons of thrust."

"10 tons? So little?" Hong Qiming's brow frowned in an instant.

"I remember that the maximum take-off thrust of the CF6 engine of the Boeing 747 can reach about 105 tons, right?"

"Will 10 tons of thrust be less for aerospace planes?"

Lu Yongchang chuckled.

"Minister Hong, you still haven't understood what I said."

“The thrust of a single Hall propulsion unit is 10 tons.”

"I have never said that there can only be one Hall propulsion unit on an aerospace plane!"

Hong Qiming's pupils shrank suddenly!

He swallowed slightly and said hesitantly: "You mean... can we install a large number of Hall propulsion units on an aerospace plane?"

Lu Yongchang nodded slightly and shook his head quickly.

"Hmm?" A trace of doubt flashed in Hong Qiming's eyes, "Yongchang, what does it mean when you nodded and shook your head...?"

Lu Yongchang pondered for a moment and said slowly: "That's right. Although the Hall propulsion unit can be installed without restrictions in theory, the actual situation is not the case."

"We need to consider the size and purpose of the aerospace plane to calculate a reasonable thrust."

Hong Qiming nodded in a vague way, then waved his hand and said, "Why are you talking to me about these professional things?"

"Just tell me one thing, how many Hall propulsion units are you going to install on the first space plane, I have to report to the Chairman of the Council."
