Chapter 130 [The Problem of Insufficient Aircraft Battery Energy]
For domestic institutions engaged in research on controllable nuclear fusion technology, Xiao Yu estimates that even with the support of room temperature superconducting materials, the possibility of breakthroughs in the next ten years is not high, but Xiao Yu will not wait for them too long.
If they can't do it, Xiao Yu can't help but light up the technology of controllable nuclear fusion technology. The Blue Star World has long realized miniaturization and is even working on antimatter energy.
Not long after Chen Zaiqing left, Xiao Yu also left his office and came to the company's aircraft design and R&D department. At this time, the R&D and design team in the department were discussing many design issues for all-electric aircraft.
Seeing the boss coming, everyone stopped speaking.
Regarding Xiao Yu, everyone present was convinced.
They already knew that there were so many people in the Basic Applied Research Department next door working on room-temperature superconducting materials, but in the end it was the boss who continued to work alone on the front line of the laboratory during the National Day holiday, and he really got it out of him.
Graphene material mass production technology, artificial intelligence, and room-temperature superconducting materials, any of these achievements are world-renowned if taken alone, and it is unacceptable to disagree.
Obviously, Xiao Yu's self-created "super genius" persona that has never been seen in a century has already taken shape in the eyes of others. In the future, other black technologies will be developed from the Blue Star World. This persona is indispensable.
People also have to admit that there are such powerful people in this world, such as Qian Lao, an older generation scientist with "two bombs and one satellite" who can create a discipline with just one page.
At that time, national scientific research was in its infancy, and gyroscope technology was almost blank, and researchers were helpless.
So Mr. Qian was asked to study this technology, but he didn't have that much time at all, so he wrote out the theoretical essence of laser gyroscope technology on a page and handed it to the research institute.
Others relied on Qian Lao's paper to establish and develop the entire theoretical and technical system, which is almost a complete subject. This paper has also become the cornerstone of domestic gyroscope technology, starting a technological leap from scratch. starting point.
With Mr. Qian in front of him, outsiders can accept Xiao Yu's amazing achievements at such a young age.
"How's the argument going?" Xiao Yu directly found a seat and sat down.
The man sitting next to him, Jiang Heng, was the project leader. He looked at Xiao Yu and said: "We introduced room temperature superconducting materials to demonstrate again that insufficient energy is still the biggest technical pain point of all-electric drive."
Another researcher immediately spoke: "All kinds of commercial drones and test aircraft now are small aircraft. Strictly speaking, large aircraft that can be fully electric propelled, such as civil aviation airliners, have never appeared before. ”
Xiao Yu said with a smile: "Now we are mainly engaged in military aircraft, but in the future we will definitely enter the field of civil aviation. Now the number of civil aviation aircraft in the world has reached as many as 30,000. This is a multi-trillion market, no matter what we do, We have a piece of AVIC Linfei’s pie.”
Jiang Heng said: "The biggest problem we face now in the all-electric drive of large aircraft is the weight of the battery. From the current point of view, the energy output of aviation fuel per unit mass is about fifty times that of traditional batteries. If you want to drive an aircraft For large flights, such as commercial airliners, all seats and cargo compartments must be removed to install batteries.”
"According to our latest demonstration calculations, graphene batteries can shorten the energy gap to less than 10 times. The introduction of room temperature superconducting materials can shorten the gap to about 2 times, but it still cannot equal the energy storage rate of traditional aviation fuel."
As soon as he finished speaking, the researcher just now said again: "Assuming that the thrust generated by the engine remains unchanged, the thrust-to-weight ratio relying on fuel will increase as the fuel margin decreases. In other words, it will increase while keeping the speed constant. Come and save fuel.”
"However, the quality of the battery carried by the all-electric aircraft remains unchanged, and the thrust-to-weight ratio remains unchanged. If we want to close the last two-fold gap, we will have to divide the battery into several blocks and drop the used ones directly into the air and throw them away. But this kind of one-time consumption is definitely unbearable.”
Xiao Yu requires a fully electric-driven aircraft and a hypersonic jet. The high-temperature gas at the tail needs to be heated by electrical energy output. High-energy arc heating is used, which is very power-consuming.
"The application of graphene batteries is still in its infancy, and its energy density may not have reached the theoretical peak limit. Let's start with the innovation of key processes and technologies. As long as the battery energy density is further increased, this problem will not be a problem." Xiao Yu looked around at everyone and said. Everyone: Uh...
That's true, but it's not that easy. Isn't this nonsense?
The current breakthrough in graphene batteries is already an amazing leap. If the energy density can be doubled on the current basis, the energy storage gap with traditional aviation fuel will be 10% higher than the current demonstration. The ratio can be shortened to five times, and then the room temperature superconducting material can be introduced to equalize the problem.
At this moment, while Xiao Yu was communicating and discussing with the people in the project development team, he was also thinking in his mind that he was definitely not worried. The graphene battery technology in the Blue Star world had already reached its theoretical peak. The technology is transferred from Xingxing.
Moreover, the backward products that have been eliminated now, the mainstream products in Blue Star World are ultra-high energy density batteries with more powerful energy storage, which are more than a hundred times the energy density of graphene batteries.
"It's all about people. We've even developed room-temperature superconducting materials. Nothing is impossible. Just do it first. I'll do the battery. The other modules will proceed as planned." Xiao Yu looked around Jiang Heng and others with a smile.
Everyone was inspired to see such a confident side of the boss. The current breakthrough in graphene battery technology was originally due to the boss playing a key core role in it.
Xiao Yu stayed for half an hour before leaving the company and going directly back to his villa.
……
Underground library laboratory.
Xiao Yu opened the teleportation star gate and once again came to the bedroom of his private villa in Fengquan City in the Blue Star World.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Walking out of the house and into the living room of the villa, Xiao Yu immediately ordered the housekeeper No. 18 Robot Beauty: "Compile a complete and systematic graphene battery technical information for me. If you need to spend money to purchase technical information, you can directly spend it." Money.”
It can be said that graphene battery technology is easy to obtain in the Blue Star world, because it is already a backward technological product here.
Just like the current smartphones on earth have eliminated Big Brother.
In the Blue Star world, graphene battery technology has long passed its confidentiality period and has become part of Blue Star’s collection of historical data on the development of human technological civilization. It is also a publicly accessible technical document, most of which can be found on the Blue Star Internet. turn up.
With the assistance of robot beauty No. 18, Xiao Yu doesn't have to waste energy searching for it. She only needs a few seconds to efficiently complete the packaging of data documents.
When it comes to some technical documentation that requires payment, Robot Beauty No. 18 can directly pay for the purchase. Xiao Yu has an additional fund account that is directly authorized and entrusted to her.
To solve the problem of the upper limit of the energy density of aircraft graphene batteries, other people on earth may have been studying for several years or even ten years without making any breakthroughs, but for Xiao Yu, it is so simple and straightforward, just use it and it will be done.
After a while, Robot Beauty No. 18 looked at Xiao Yu: "Master, all the information and documents on graphene battery technology have been collected and uploaded to your private server. You can check it at any time."
Xiao Yu was very satisfied after hearing this. Isn't this solved at the speed of light? When the time comes to return to Earth, they will download the technical documents and pack them away together.

(PS: I never expected that the sixth-generation aircraft would suddenly fly like this, and two of them would fly at once. They flew on that special day. I suddenly felt that the novel was too conservative and it had to be a little bigger. ……)
