555: Ideas about the construction of a spaceship!

Shen Luoyan looked intently at Guo Hao beside her.

Her eyes were full of anticipation and excitement.

There was no way she could not be excited!

Interstellar travel!

The sight of the universe and starry sky she saw on her neighbor's TV when she was very, very young had stayed with her for so many years!

That was the scene of her dreams.

Especially after starting school and getting into astronomy, her dream of the universe and starry sky did not decrease, but rather increased.

Therefore, at this moment, Shen Luoyan completely disregarded any accusations or thoughts about being a 'connected person'.

She just wanted to get in touch with this kind of thing!

Guo Hao smiled slightly, led Shen Luoyan to the sofa nearby, took out a kraft paper bag, and handed it to Shen Luoyan.

"Inside are all the materials about the Electric Propulsion System, including a complete set of control systems.

Then, some internal structures of the electric propulsion engine, and even the materials used, are all in there."

Guo Hao looked at Shen Luoyan and said seriously.

Hearing Guo Hao's words, Shen Luoyan's expression immediately became much more serious.

It was obvious that she also understood the importance of this item.

After opening the kraft paper bag, Shen Luoyan began to examine all the materials about the Electric Propulsion System.

After reading for a while, Shen Luoyan looked up with some surprise, suddenly looking at Guo Hao beside her.

"This Electric Propulsion System, the thrust can actually reach one million N???"

Shen Luoyan looked at Guo Hao, somewhat dumbfounded.

Although she had some expectations, Shen Luoyan was still a bit shocked.

You know!

A single rocket engine, even with sufficient fuel, finds it difficult to produce a thrust of one million Newtons!

To achieve this level of thrust, you usually either change the fuel mixture ratio of the rocket propellant.

Or bundle multiple rocket engines together!

Only then can a sufficiently strong thrust be generated.

You know, one million Newtons of thrust is enough to transport nearly thirty tons of goods to Outer Space!

And this is just the thrust of a single electric propulsion unit!

Moreover, this kind of thrust is continuous and can be sustained completely!

Then that's too terrifying!

A terror that cannot be described in words!

At least going to the moon is possible at will, building a spaceship, a spacecraft built with more than ten electric propulsion engines.

Under full power, a thrust of nearly ten million Newtons.

What kind of speed can it reach in Outer Space?

What about more than thirty?

Or even more daringly, more engines?

Of course, in the case of more, the situation isn't too different, for example, the electricity generated by the Controlled nuclear fusion device still has a limit at one time.

Too many electric propulsion engines starting simultaneously can easily drain all the power instantly.

After all, the power generation of a small Controlled nuclear fusion device cannot be compared with that of a large Controlled nuclear fusion device, there is no doubt about this.

"It's alright, one million Newtons, it should be able to meet the requirements for going to Outer Space."

Guo Hao smiled and said, looking at Shen Luoyan beside him.

Hearing Guo Hao's words, Shen Luoyan was speechless.

What words! What kind of words are these!

"However, this thing is not large in size, and its structure is not very complex.

These electric propulsion units can be completely concentrated together to build a large propulsion System, that's when it will be truly powerful!"

Guo Hao looked at Shen Luoyan with a smile on his face.

Shen Luoyan was silent for a while.

She suddenly felt that her research on aero-engines seemed to be meaningless, all those discussions about thrust-to-weight ratio and fuel efficiency.

They felt like jokes!

With the advent of this Electric Propulsion System, those aero-engines will likely all be eliminated, it can almost be said that there is no room for survival at all!

"Okay, I know what you're thinking, isn't technology just like this? From steam engines to internal combustion engines, and now to electric motors.

Replacement has always been happening, I just accelerated the progress, there's nothing to say."

Guo Hao said with a smile, looking at Shen Luoyan.

Hearing Guo Hao's words, Shen Luoyan nodded and said with some emotion.

"Hao Ge, actually, how could I not know what you're saying, how could I not be clear?

But I am indeed thinking, with you existing, what are the other scientists in this world supposed to do?

You are simply a mudslide in the entire Academic Circle, an existence that destroys all scientific research!"

Shen Luoyan looked at Guo Hao with emotion.

"How can this be called destruction? It should be called reshaping! Rebuilding!"

Guo Hao shrugged.

"Alright, you look at the technical data first, I have something I want to discuss with you later!"

Guo Hao said with a smile, looking at Shen Luoyan.

"Okay!"

Shen Luoyan nodded and continued to look at the technical data in front of her.

After reading for a while, Shen Luoyan's expression became increasingly serious.

It took about three hours, and Shen Luoyan finished reading all the technical data.

"How is it? What are your thoughts?"

Looking at the silent Shen Luoyan, Guo Hao smiled slightly, looking at Shen Luoyan and asking with a smile.

"Amazing! Very amazing! Extremely amazing!"

Shen Luoyan exclaimed three times.

Showing her surging inner emotions.

"Regarding this engine, I think..."

Guo Hao roughly explained his ideas.

Shen Luoyan had, after all, worked on several projects and had considerable practical experience in aero-engine research.

She quickly gave Guo Hao some of her suggestions.

The two discussed together about the appearance of the spacecraft, how the power System should be arranged, and what kind of things should be set up inside.

And, the weight of the spacecraft.

"...I disagree, our first spacecraft should be built smaller.

Over three hundred tons is a bit too large!"

Shen Luoyan frowned, looking at Guo Hao in front of her.

"Building it too large, first of all, the construction period is too long, and then it's not needed.

Since it's the first spacecraft, we should prioritize being conservative!"

"But, three hundred tons... is not large!"

Guo Hao could understand Shen Luoyan's concerns, he said with a slight helplessness.

"It's very large!"

Shen Luoyan shook her head.

"According to our design, the spacecraft's own weight will occupy at most half of the total weight.

In other words, according to our design, this spacecraft can accommodate over 150 tons of cargo... Hao Ge, do you know what this means??"

Shen Luoyan looked at Guo Hao with a slightly strange expression.

"What?"

"That's Outer Space! Things are calculated by the gram, 150 tons, it is possible to build even a large base in space!"

A space station is only a few hundred tons, two flights are enough!"

Shen Luoyan took a deep breath.

"We cannot afford the loss of a large spacecraft, the first spacecraft, we should build it smaller.

Anyway, it's an experimental model, just to verify the feasibility, if it doesn't work, we still have room for modification.

The most crucial thing is time."

Shen Luoyan looked at Guo Hao seriously.
