From University Lecturer to Chief Academician

After the high-altitude launch intensity test was over, the Air Force officers who came to watch the test mainly focused on two points in discussing technical issues.

One point is the flight altitude.

From a military point of view, the higher the aircraft flies, the safer it is. For example, some reconnaissance aircraft and early warning aircraft will fly to an altitude of more than 10,000 meters, and some can even exceed 20,000 meters.

The advantage brought by height is too great.

First of all, when the altitude of the aircraft is sufficient, air-to-air missiles launched by fighter jets flying at 10,000 meters and up to 20,000 meters will not pose a direct threat.

The climb height of some air-to-air missiles can also reach 20,000 meters or 30,000 meters. It sounds like the climb height is enough, but the climb of air-to-air missiles is mainly for subsequent acceleration to hit longer-distance targets. , instead of aiming at targets that are more than 10,000 meters higher than yourself. When the air-to-air missile climbs high enough, the speed will be greatly affected, and the trajectory of the missile cannot be fully grasped. If you want to hit a target that is more than 10,000 meters high , is very very difficult.

In addition, the height of 40,000 meters is enough to make most anti-aircraft missiles helpless.

The most advanced anti-aircraft missiles in the world basically have a maximum shooting height of less than 30,000 meters, let alone ordinary anti-aircraft missiles. It is impossible to threaten targets above 10,000 meters.

This is mainly because the anti-aircraft missiles are aimed at fighter jets, and the flying altitude of general fighter jets is within 20,000 meters.

Even for reconnaissance aircraft and early warning aircraft, the maximum flight altitude does not exceed 25,000 meters.

At an altitude of 40 kilometers, only anti-missile missiles can pose a direct threat. Some countries have advanced anti-missile systems, which can naturally threaten targets at altitudes of tens of kilometers.

For example, the famous THAAD system has the longest interception distance of 200 kilometers and the maximum interception altitude of 150 kilometers. Ground-based anti-missile system'.

However, the anti-missile system, as you can tell from the name, is aimed at intercepting high-altitude missiles.

One of the characteristics of missiles is that the flight trajectory can be calculated.

There are two types of missiles, one is ballistic missile and the other is cruise missile.

Ballistic missiles, no matter how the trajectory is corrected, are in the form of a parabola as a whole, which can be calculated as long as they are detected in advance. The difficulty of interception lies in speed and accuracy.

Cruise missiles use aeroengines as power, and their trajectories are variable and relatively difficult to capture. However, under normal circumstances, early warning can also be calculated.

Anti-missile is originally a 'probability' problem.

No matter how high-end the anti-missile system is, it is impossible to intercept incoming missiles 100%.

In short, the anti-missile system is aimed at incoming missiles, not human-controlled aircraft in the air.

Because of this, combating high-flying early warning aircraft and reconnaissance aircraft in military confrontation mainly relies on fighter jets approaching and launching air-to-air missiles, rather than using anti-aircraft missiles or anti-missile missiles.

When an aircraft can fly at an altitude of more than 30,000 meters, it can be said that it is almost impossible to be shot down, because the radar of the aircraft can warn in advance, and the incoming missiles take time to fly, and the aircraft has enough time to dodge calmly .

During this test, the anti-gravity aircraft was suspended at an altitude of 40,000 meters, and the test had the ability to fly at high speed. Even if the acceleration was not fast, compared with traditional aircraft, the anti-gravity aircraft can change direction at any time, which is relatively more Be flexible.

These are pretty amazing performances.

An air force general said directly, "Even the Aegis-Shield system on the American aircraft carrier is completely useless in the face of an anti-gravity aircraft at an altitude of 40,000 meters."

"The Aegis-Shield system is aimed at incoming missiles. To launch interceptor missiles, the path must be calculated in advance, and there is nothing that can be done against aircraft..."

"Indeed it is."

"I think that this function can be directly used in the military now, and it is very deterrent to use."

"Staying in the air is a deterrent!"

"In my opinion, it can be made bigger, but the diameter is still too small."

"Twenty meters is really not that big."

"If it can be 40 meters long and hang hundreds of missiles, it can be used as a sky fortress..."

The anti-gravity vehicle is said to be big, and its diameter has reached 20 meters. It can give people a lot of shock when placed on the ground.

But in fact, compared with other high-altitude military aircraft, it is only normal size.

For example, American has a reconnaissance plane with a fuselage length of more than forty-five meters, a lateral wingspan of nearly forty-five meters, and a height of thirteen meters.

Many people looked at Wang Hao talking and laughing.

Wang Hao shook his head with a smile and said, "I'm only responsible for researching the aircraft. As for other issues, I don't think about it."

He also explained his thoughts, "The anti-gravity aircraft can indeed be made larger, but it needs higher power. If it is 40 meters in diameter, the weight will be several times higher, and a larger electric propulsion is needed. .”

He thought for a while and added, "Perhaps, a superconducting motor is necessary."

"In addition, the power system needs to be redesigned, requiring higher power supply..."

"Our second prototype design is probably not up to the mark. The plan is indeed to expand it, but the diameter is only about 25 meters."

Others immediately said, "Academician Wang, it's already very good now. Forty meters is just an imagination, and it doesn't need to be done now."

"Now this is already very powerful!"

"Is it going to be released in October? It will definitely be very shocking!"

"Can it be done, Academician Wang? Tell us if you have anything to say, our air force will definitely support it with all our strength!"

"right!"

"I am looking forward to this aircraft very much. If it is officially put into service, we will bring two to our base..."

"Why do you guys go first? Such advanced aircraft must be deployed in the south first!"

"It's our east that matters!"

"..."

Several air force generals were arguing, while Wang Hao watched cheerfully and thought about the design of the prototype.

The second prototype cannot be as casual as the first prototype. Military use must be considered, and it needs to communicate with relevant departments such as radar and missiles.

In the process of prototype design, it is necessary to reserve space for the installation of a high-end radar system, and issues such as hanging bombs must also be considered in the future.

Of course, the most important thing is to solve the power problem.

Better power can make the aircraft more flexible. The best way is to introduce superconducting motors to improve the electric propulsion system.

At the same time, other spaces are reserved, including the expansion of the manned cabin, and so on.

"In this way, the storage capacity and power of the battery will also increase, and the cooling system will continue to improve. The diameter should exceed 25 meters."

Wang Hao thought about it.

...

Tests of anti-gravity vehicles have had a huge impact.

Because it is impossible to keep complete secrecy during the test, even the test conducted in no-man's land, because the flight was high enough, it was seen by many people and accurately monitored by some satellites.

Within a few hours of the end of the test, many photos and even small videos were posted on the Internet.

Some agencies also released the footage they had monitored, and there was a lot of discussion in the public opinion.

"It turned out to be a flying saucer. I thought it was fake news last time."

"The florist really has a flying saucer!"

"This flying saucer looks so advanced. It rotates while flying. What is the design? Is it for turning?"

"Look below, there are a lot of bombs hanging, there are more than ten or twenty..."

"Twenty!"

"In the last post, there was a picture of Tiannv scattering flowers. Those missiles were all empty bombs. After launching, the tail opened the parachute and landed. The picture is very beautiful..."

"We have developed such a high-end aircraft, it is estimated that some countries are not in a good mood..."

"..."

There are indeed many people in the world who are discussing related topics.

This is mainly because the development of flying saucers is so amazing that it feels like something out of science fiction, but it turned out to be reality.

Even if the anti-gravity technology that has been disclosed is used, it is clear that flying saucers are not within the scope of conventional weapons systems, and many people are also very concerned about this.

Some military enthusiasts are completely obsessed with flying saucers and hope to know more news.

Because the flying saucer was captured by the satellite, coupled with the pictures and pictures circulating on the Internet, many aircraft parameters were exposed.

The most direct data is speed and altitude.

"The flying saucer developed by the florist reached a maximum speed of 240 meters per second during the test, and the suspension altitude exceeded 39,000 meters..."

"The number of bombs is 20."

"This height, and the flexibility it exhibits, is very noteworthy."

These data are very shocking. It broke the conventional military system and made most of the anti-aircraft weapons useless.

The Aifu 35 shown by American was immediately forgotten by public opinion.

No matter how high-end the performance of the Aifu 35 is, it cannot pose a threat to the anti-gravity aircraft just by talking about the flying height. It is even said that the Aifu 35 does not dare to appear under the anti-gravity aircraft, otherwise it will directly become a moving target, and there is no retaliation at all. Power.

In international public opinion, most people still pay attention to the flying saucer itself, but professionals are concerned that the aircraft test lasted for a long time, and carried out high-speed flight and high-altitude suspension.

These two tests show that the aircraft has enough power.

The power of the anti-gravity aircraft naturally comes from the electric power supply.

Previously, public opinion had speculated that flower growers had mastered superconducting battery technology, but some analysts believed that they might not have mastered it, and just applied conventional battery technology.

Now the latter statement is completely gone.

If it is conventional battery technology, it is impossible to support the continuous high-speed flight and long-term suspension of anti-gravity aircraft.

"So, the florists must have mastered superconducting battery technology and applied it to anti-gravity aircraft."

"Since flower growers can master superconducting battery technology, it means that this road is feasible..."

Next, many teams, institutions, and large enterprises stood up and said that they would spend huge sums of money to invest in the research and development of superconducting batteries.

It also includes an important power R\u0026D team under the American Department of Energy. More than ten years ago, they completed the SMES technology and have supported the construction of large-scale power storage devices.

American also sent investigators to inquire specifically about the power R\u0026D team, wondering how long it would take to develop a superconducting battery and put it into use.

The leader of the power R\u0026D team, Hiberton-Elkerson, gave a disappointing answer, "We have been researching superconducting batteries, but there are too many technical difficulties and the system is too complicated."

"We're progressing fast, but we're far from done."

"I estimate that it will take at least three years to perfect the technology."

The investigator was very dissatisfied with this time, and he immediately asked, "Can't we speed up the progress? We can invest more funds."

"impossible."

Hibton immediately shook his head, and he said with certainty, "It's not a matter of funding. We have always had enough funding and the best scientific researchers, but the whole system is too complicated, and there are many problems that need to be solved. "

"The thermal balance system alone has already made the entire research team dizzy..."

The investigator asked a little unwillingly, "Why can the florists complete the research in such a short period of time? We mastered SMES technology earlier than them."

Hibton was very angry when he heard it. He slapped the table hard and said dissatisfiedly, "If you don't believe in our ability, you can find another team to study it."

"A lot of institutions are doing research now, if you believe that those companies are going faster than us, of course."

"As for the florist's question, you can ask them instead of me."

Hiberton was also amazed at how florists quickly mastered superconducting battery technology, but what can be done about things that can't be figured out?

Just like Wang Hao of the scientific world...

That young flower grower had accomplished various major achievements a few years ago, and also created annihilation physics that influenced the development of human science and technology.

If you ask a question: "Why can Wang Hao do it, but others can't?"

Does this question make sense?

...

When the international public opinion is mixed, the most flat reaction is the various anti-gravity teams.

They will also discuss anti-gravity aircraft internally, but more thoughts are put on digesting the two anti-gravity technologies disclosed by florists.

The florists have officially disclosed the technology.

Every scientific researcher engaged in anti-gravity research is very excited about the disclosed technology, and they never expected to have access to such a high-end technology so quickly.

The horizontal anti-gravity technology that can produce 71% strength can theoretically be put into scientific and technological applications; the high-strength conventional anti-gravity technology can also be used in many experimental researches.

All anti-gravity teams are getting busy, eager to digest these two public technologies.

The same is true for Philip Rohrer, except that he can only look at the technology in front of a personal computer and understand it with his own knowledge, instead of participating in experimental research.

Because, he was fired.

This is mainly because of the technology disclosed by the florist, and the research he led the team in the past few years has almost no results at all, and some are only the contribution of some experimental data.

The Department of Energy and the Los Alamos Laboratory can no longer tolerate a similar situation, and Philip Rohrer can only be fired.

At Philip Rohrer's age, it is impossible to find another job, so he can only declare in advance that he will enter retirement life.

Philip Laurel was very unwilling, and before leaving, he shouted in dissatisfaction, "This is not my reason at all!"

"Our research is indeed not as good as the florists' team, but we also have to look at who our competitors are."

"That's Wang Hao!"

"We want to catch up with Wang Hao, who created annihilation physics, in the research of anti-gravity? This is simply impossible!"

Of course, the loser has no say.

What Philip Rohrer said before he left would not matter anymore. He was replaced by Val Cronin, the former boss and supervisor of Hiberton, the head of the power team.

Val Cronin is a mathematician, an expert in electricity, and an expert in the application of superconductivity. He worked for the Department of Energy and led the team to complete the SMES technology.

Now Val Cronin replaces Philip Rohrer as head of the antigravity research group at Los Alamos Laboratory.

Val Cronin knew very well that the reason for his predecessor's resignation was that the research results could not catch up with the florists' team.

So he is very clear that he must have certain research and development results when he takes office.

Val Cronin set his sights on the unfinished work of Philip Röhrer, which is to build large-scale superimposed force field equipment and strong magnetic fields to study new physical phenomena at the edge of superimposed force fields.

Probably stimulated by the news of the anti-gravity aircraft, American introduced a scientific research support policy, providing large amounts of financial support for anti-gravity, superconducting technology and other fields.

As soon as Val Cronin came to power, he had a lot of money.

The first one can apply for one billion US dollars, which is enough for them to manufacture large-scale equipment alone.

Although there is enough financial support, there is no need to contact other anti-gravity teams or establish any international organization for joint research, but Val Cronin still has great uncertainty in his heart.

What he considered was, "Florist's anti-gravity behavior research center certainly didn't invest so much money, and they don't seem to plan to build a large-scale superimposed force field device."

"why?"

"If it's financial constraints, you can also contact other anti-gravity teams, but they didn't do that..."

"What's wrong with it?"

Val Cronin was very uncertain. After checking various materials, he finally felt that building large-scale superimposed force field equipment was a good research direction.

As long as they can discover new physical phenomena first, it may become an opportunity for anti-gravity-related research to catch up with florists.

"Maybe it's because the florist's team put all their energy into the research of anti-gravity technology? They don't pay attention to theory, but technology!"

"Because of this, they have mastered ultra-high-end anti-gravity technology?"

"This direction should be no problem!"

"As long as the equipment is built, new physical discoveries are likely to be made. At that time, there will be results and a chance to catch up!"

Val Cronin made a decision anyway.
