From University Lecturer to Chief Academician

Capital University, in front of the Government Affairs Building.

Dou Yan had just returned from Xihai City. With a briefcase in one hand, he walked ahead in a hurry, with his head half lowered, his expression seemed a little lonely.

Zhang Xiqin, vice president of the university, was coming out of the building door, turned his head and saw Dou Yan, pressed his glasses with his hand, and then shouted in surprise, "Professor Dou!"

Dou Yan stopped when he heard the shout, with a polite smile on his face, "Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Xiqin walked over enthusiastically and asked, "It's really you. I looked like you from a distance just now. Why did you come back so soon? I thought you were going to stay in Xihai for a few days."

Dou Yan put on a smiling face and said nothing.

Zhang Xiqin continued to ask, "How about going to Xihai? Have you seen the prototype of your design?"

Dou Yan nodded.

"How did the prototype work? Did it meet expectations?"

Dou Yan nodded vigorously, and then heaved a long sigh.

Zhang Xiqin frowned slightly, looking at Dou Yan left and right felt a little strange, and asked, "What's going on? Professor Dou, I think your mood is a little bit wrong?"

After he finished speaking, he continued to stare.

Dou Yan faced each other with force, and sighed again, "It's hard to say!"

"What's wrong?" Zhang Xiqin asked curiously, "In a bad mood?"

Dou Yan didn't really want to talk about it at first, but Zhang Xiqin kept asking. He organized his words and said, "You can't imagine, Mr. Zhang, how I feel after seeing the prototype..."

"This time I went to Xihai to see it. The superconducting motor designed by ourselves is completely unexpected. It feels like..."

"Let me describe it to you like this!"

Dou Yan put the briefcase on the stone pier of the flower bed, and then said, "My mood now is like when I was a child, when I was about ten years old, my parents took me to the Science and Technology Museum on the west side of Sydney."

"After I came out of the science and technology museum, I was thinking about those things... so technological, so high-end!"

"My heart is full of sighs!"

Zhang Xiqin was stunned when he heard it. He thought carefully for a long time, but he still didn't understand Dou Yan's words, so he asked, "Isn't that your design?"

"Yes, and no." Dou Yan said forcefully, "It's very high-end anyway, I can't imagine or understand it. It's like I went to a high-tech exhibition..."

"Oh~~~"

After Dou Yanbian shook his head, he didn't want to continue explaining.

His mood is indeed very complicated.

Originally, I went to see the superconducting motor designed by my team, and I thought there was a problem, so I went to guide it. I saw a very high-end product. Whether it is performance parameters, power control, or stability, it is beyond imagination.

Is that the superconducting motor designed by your own team?

No!

"Perhaps academician Wang Hao came to Capital University to design, not because of how good the design is, but because the other party saw his own design occasionally? Don't want to bother, go to other teams to see other designs?"

"Very likely!"

"It should be like this..."

...

Xihai University, Mechanical Automation Laboratory.

The test of the superconducting motor is still going on, and it is a high-power, long-term running test to see if there will be any problems in high-intensity operation.

Wang Hao is not worried about the test of superconducting motors, because the structure of superconducting motors is relatively simple. In fact, it can be understood that a large amount of superconducting materials are used on the basis of traditional motors, and a cooling system will be added. Just add an electronic control system.

Just because the structure is relatively simple, any problems in the test will not become an insurmountable problem.

As long as the high-intensity operation test is completed and a series of basic tests are carried out, the final design of the superconducting motor will be finalized and manufactured.

Now they can rely on the power parameter data of superconducting motors to support the design of anti-gravity aircraft.

In the design of anti-gravity aircraft, the superconducting motor is a very important part, and it is a decisive part of the overall design. The power parameters of the superconducting motor can directly affect the design of other aspects.

In fact, just like an aero engine directly affects the design of a fighter jet, the engine is the core component of a conventional aircraft, and the parameters of the engine directly affect the design of other parts of the aircraft.

It is the same now, the core of the anti-gravity aircraft is the superconducting battery, but the propeller driven by the superconducting motor is the power source of the aircraft.

After determining the parameters of the power source, other aspects of the design can be determined through calculation.

In this way, the overall design of the second prototype can be finalized.

In fact, during the research process of superconducting motors, most of the designs in other directions have been completed, and what is lacking is to determine the parameters of the motor.

The parameters of the motor directly affect the design of the propeller fan, and the design of the propeller fan directly affects the performance of the propeller, and more closely affects the power system.

After determining the power system, other aspects of the program can be finalized.

Compared with the first prototype, the main direction of the second prototype is to increase flexibility, safety and stability. In addition, it also needs to consider the needs of increasing internal space and military direction.

The main difficulty lies in the balance of the superconducting battery and the anti-gravity system, as well as the stability of the aircraft cooling system.

The cooling body of the aircraft is very important, whether it is the anti-gravity system, the maintenance of the superconducting battery or the operation of the superconducting motor, it is inseparable from the support of the cooling system.

So for the cooling system of the aircraft, they have come up with several solutions.

Wang Hao finally chose the solution with the highest safety, even if it adds extra weight, it doesn't matter, the most important thing is to ensure safety performance.

In addition, the design plan also needs to consider the needs of other parts.

For example, radar and electronic countermeasure systems.

It is enough for ordinary aircraft to install a radar system, but anti-gravity aircraft must have an electronic countermeasure system. The purpose is not for electronic warfare, but only for safety considerations.

There are three advantages of anti-gravity aircraft. One is high-altitude combat, which can fly at an altitude of more than 40,000 meters. The second is flexibility. It is more flexible than ordinary fighters, allowing the aircraft to easily avoid incoming missiles. The last point is The ammo is high.

Let's leave the last point aside.

If you want to reflect the advantages of high-altitude combat and flexibility, you must have an excellent radar, and the communication system must not be interfered.

No matter how ferocious a beast loses its eyes, it can only become food for other predators.

When the enemy faces high-altitude anti-gravity aircraft with flexible combat capabilities, conventional air defense does not work, and anti-missile missiles can be easily evaded, they will inevitably use electronic warfare. The combat platform interferes with the radar of the anti-gravity aircraft.

If the anti-gravity vehicle loses its "eyes" and cannot detect incoming missiles in advance, it will be in a very dangerous situation.

Therefore, the aircraft must have the ability to counter electronic warfare.

An electronic countermeasure system is not simply a matter of installing a radar, but a whole set of equipment, which takes up a lot of space.

The design of the anti-gravity vehicle also needs to reserve a space with a fixed direction and a fixed size. It also needs to consider the interference of the aircraft itself to electronic signals. Not only does it need to communicate with relevant research institutions, but it also needs to be demonstrated in detail.

These are all difficult places.

Of course, even though there are various problems in the design of the second prototype, and there are many new challenges, everyone in the anti-gravity vehicle research team is very excited because they have completed the first prototype, and many real Difficult problems have been resolved.

All the problems we are facing now cannot be compared with the superconducting batteries that cannot be crossed.

Many countries and companies in the world have already organized teams to study anti-gravity aircraft. There is only one big problem they face, which is the power support of the anti-gravity system.

Compared to the problem of power support, everything else is not a problem at all.

So everyone is looking forward to it.

They devoted 100% of their energy to participate in the design research work, constantly thinking and discussing each part, and quickly finalized some plans in succession, and the design work progressed very smoothly.

At a time when everyone is working hard, Wang Hao, you are like everyone else, putting all your time into work.

He is busier than everyone else.

Others just think about solutions and new design schemes, while he needs to hold meetings constantly to knock on every detail of the design.

In terms of the design of the second aircraft, Wang Hao can be described as hands-on, down to the small details of each component, and he has to put it in front of him for a while.

Others admire Wang Hao very much. They think that they have the ability to calculate, but they can't do it to this level.

The interior of the anti-gravity aircraft is very complicated, and even some small parts, the design of the direction and shape, need to be discussed in detail.

Some people don't understand why Wang Hao takes his work so meticulously.

But there is no way.

This is an important reason why the test has no major problems after the final design is finalized.

For a complex aircraft, the test often takes much longer than the design and manufacture, because it is not easy to solve a small problem found in the test.

These small problems could be caused by a small screw, but it is very, very difficult to find the screw that caused the problem.

In order to avoid similar problems as much as possible during the test, Wang Hao can only do everything by himself, and also participate in some small design problems, so as to be sure that there are no problems.

Wang Hao's job is not only to finalize the design plan, he also has a special job, which is to design the shape of the aircraft.

The shape, not the appearance, is to determine the shape of the aircraft shell and the protruding parts.

Wang Hao is not the designer of the shape, but he is a top scholar in the field of fluid mechanics and complex equations. Just talking about complex equations, he can even be described as "the world's number one" because he solved the NS equation problem.

The shape of the aircraft is directly related to the air resistance encountered during flight.

What Wang Hao needs to do is to design the shape with the minimum air resistance. Because of the requirements of some equipment, the shape cannot be "idealized", so it is necessary to find a balance between the demand and the ideal value.

In the shape design of anti-gravity aircraft, the problem of lateral air resistance is mainly considered.

Even during the take-off acceleration stage, lateral air resistance is considered. As long as it is accelerated take-off, it must be like an ordinary aircraft, climbing quickly on an oblique side, instead of using the straight-up mode in the test.

The reason is very simple, the speed of going straight up into the sky cannot be increased.

The anti-gravity aircraft is a large disc, and if it simply flies upwards in a straight line, it will encounter huge resistance when accelerating, and it is impossible to speed up.

Therefore, fast take-off can only use the "head" slope climbing mode of traditional aircraft.

It still takes a lot of time to design the shape, but the arc angle of the central cabin needs to consider the overall disc, balance the two, and simulate the detailed air flow direction for calculation.

This computational work is not even accurate by others.

Wang Hao listed a lot of equations, and then found a way to find an optimal solution. The shape design work was transformed into a purely mathematical problem.

After the other parts of the design were all finalized, it took him five days to complete the final calculations and finalize the design of the shape.

After finalizing the design plan of the shape, the design of the second anti-gravity vehicle was finalized.

Wang Hao submitted all the design plans, and then he could wait for the manufacture of each component.

At this time, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally finished!

He, like everyone else, began to look forward to the second prototype built.

...

After all the design work is completed, Wang Hao is going to rest for a while.

Su Yingxue came the next day.

When she arrived at Wang Hao's house, the two immediately became tired of being together.

Su Yingxue is a well-known business person, and she has to deal with a lot of work. In addition, Wang Hao is also very busy with work, so she doesn't spend much time together.

in the bedroom.

Wang Hao looked at the moonlight outside the window, thinking quietly.

Wearing long pajamas, Su Yingxue hugged him from behind, pouted and said, "You are so busy, you work for more than a month, busier than me."

She said with a sigh.

Of course she knew how important Wang Hao's work was, but after getting busy and going out for more than a month, she was obviously in Xihai, and she still didn't go home for a long time, so she still felt a little depressed.

Wang Hao shook his head and said, "This is the time, we have to hurry up and complete a research quickly."

"I know."

Su Yingxue said, she was silent for a long time after speaking, as if she was thinking carefully.

The atmosphere is somewhat quiet.

After an unknown amount of time, she slowly said, "I've thought about it, and I'm going to put down my work."

After hearing this, Wang Hao turned his head.

Su Yingxue raised her head and said affirmatively, "I am busy, and you are also busy. It is difficult for us to be together often. However, your work is more important."

She spoke firmly, and then said in a joking tone, "How about I let go of the work in my hand and hand it over to others, and then only take care of your assets?"

After speaking, he looked straight at Wang Hao.

Wang Hao was a little moved immediately. He understood what Su Yingxue meant. Putting aside the work of the group to take care of his assets, it was tantamount to a marriage proposal in a different direction.

Moreover, it is at the expense of personal career.

He took a deep breath, stared at those eyes full of expectation and obviously a little nervous, and said, "Okay."

Su Yingxue pursed her lips hard.

The color of the water gradually reflected in the firm eyes.

She hugged harder.
