Rule department scholar

The flying car he designed, all the parts he ordered were manufactured and transported to the space base to which Yi Xing belongs.

Zhao Yi decided to go there when he heard the news, and he couldn't wait.

"I'm going back to the capital. It will take about three or four days, maybe a week." After thinking about it, Zhao Yi expanded the time frame.

His sudden departure for a week will not affect the experimental plan.

Because of the short time before the start of the experiment, Zhao Yi had almost nothing to do, and the rest of the theory group had nothing to do, most of the time was just waiting.

Qiu Chengwen asked a little strangely, "Zhao Yi, what are you going to do? Have a meeting? Is it something about the moon base?"

"neither."

Zhao Yi hesitated for a moment, but still said, "It's a flying car. The parts for the flying car I designed before have already arrived. I thought there was nothing to do now, so I went over to have a look."

"Flying car?"

Qiu Chengwen's eyes lit up, and he immediately became interested. He found the picture of the flying car from his mobile phone, which was sent to him by Zhao Yi at that time and was saved directly. "Is it this car? It's so cool. Anyway, I've been very Leisurely, why don't you go together? You have no objection to taking me to see the flying car, right?"

"--All right."

Zhao Yi thought for a while and had no reason to refuse.

Edward Witten walked in suddenly and asked, "What were you talking about just now? I heard flying cars?"

"Correct."

Zhao Yidao, "I designed a flying car, and I'm about to go back and install it."

"Are you sure it's not a toy?" Edward Witten was very surprised.

"Of course not." Zhao Yi said, "It's a real flying car, just like what you think. We have built this car and are going to participate in the International Automobile Exhibition in two months' time."

Edward Witten was stunned. He felt that it would take some time for him to digest this problem, but seeing Zhao Yi and Qiu Chengwen packing up their things, he immediately said, "Count me in, okay?"

After he finished speaking, he immediately packed up his things without waiting for a reply, and said, "I know, Zhao Yi, you will definitely bring me along for such an interesting thing, right?"

"--All right."

Zhao Yi's answer was the same as when he responded to Qiu Chengwen just now. He really couldn't think of a reason to refuse, so he simply asked the two of them to go together.

When he was about to leave, he thought of Zhang Qican again.

Zhang Qican's relationship went relatively smoothly. He only dated three times, and he seemed to have found the other half of his life. The other half is a doctoral graduate of Capital University, and it is said that he is also a Ph.D. in economics.

It's hard to say what the doctor of economics and the doctor of physics have in common, but he seems to have a good conversation with the other party. He made several appointments without talking, and took the other party to meet his family.

Up to now, no one else has seen that girl, but simply looked at the photos, and knew that she was a short, well-behaved girl, mainly because the other party was not allowed to enter the experimental base.

Now Zhang Qican is also at the experimental base, and he was busy with work for a while, so Zhao Yi simply thought of taking Zhang Qican with him, which was equivalent to giving him a few days to rest.

The last ones to go to the Yixing launch base are all members of the theory team.

Everyone is very interested.

Zhang Qican even asked Zhao Yi if he could bring his girlfriend to the launch base, mainly because he also wanted to see the flying car with his own eyes.

There is a saying that goes well, a man is a teenager until he dies.

Flying cars are so attractive, especially the world's first flying car, which just sounds very interesting.

But when they arrived at Yixing's launch base, the first impressions of several people were still very disappointing, because the flying car still had a lot of parts, and at most they could only see the shell placed on one side.

Zhao Yidao, "It's because of the spare parts that I came so quickly. Don't you think it's very interesting to build a flying car?"

"—It seems to be!"

"really!"

"Can we also participate in this work?"

"certainly!"

Zhao Yi nodded with certainty, and asked several top theoretical physicists in the world to participate in the work of assembling the car with great interest.

Because it is the first flying car to be assembled, many parts are not standard and need to be constantly corrected. Some devices may even fail to connect with each other, and manual adjustments are required.

The assembly work is very slow, and the most difficult thing is the micro-turbo engine.

The microturbine engine was designed by Zhao Yi, because the internal structure is relatively complicated, and the size is also very small. The parts inside are very small, and many of them look similar, but they are not a thing at all.

More than a dozen Yixing technicians also helped with the assembly, and solved various problems in the middle. Even so, it took them three days to complete the assembly of the flying car.

three days later.

Zhao Yi tightened the last screw with his own hands, stood up and looked at the very cool flying car, and couldn't help showing an excited smile on his face.

The skin of this flying car is red, and it looks similar to a red sports car, except that there are extendable wings on both sides, and wings are also designed at the rear. The four tires look very technological. The center part of the tire looks It's very complicated.

Because it is a test version of the flying car, considering the convenience of modification, the outer skin of the car is not completely covered, and some internal structures are exposed on the front and rear of the car, but the exposed parts do not affect the overall aesthetics.

Edward Witten couldn't help admiring, "Zhao Yi, you are a genius designer. I think the appearance of this car is no worse than those of the world's top sports cars."

"Is it allowed to take pictures?" He immediately followed up.

Zhao Yi nodded and said, "Of course. But it's best not to publish it now. I will announce the news after I prepare for testing."

"Of course!"

Edward Witten happily stood beside the car, asked others to help take pictures, and posed various actions.

Qiu Chengwen also passed by immediately.

The others were also very interested, but not as anxious as they were all at the launch base and had a lot of time to take pictures.

Once the flying car is assembled, it's time to start testing.

They have completed testing the internal components during the installation process, and the overall performance test starts with fixing the car and changing the tires.

This is the most important.

Fix the car and let the flying device start, and you can use the data to measure the maximum forward force of the car and the balance of the car.

In addition, the microturbine engine also needs to be tested.

The individual test of the micro-turbo engine has been completed, but what effect it has on the car still needs to be tested in practice.

Chapter 7 The flying car is exposed

After the flying car was assembled, formal testing began.

The first is to perform a fixed test.

The process of fixing the test will take a whole day, mainly to test the performance of the changing wheels. When the aircraft turns on the anti-gravity system and ascends, the wheels will retract the tires, spread out the surrounding blades, and become a turbine that fluctuates the air. The turbine has a very high speed, and the continuous rotation will form a forward force on the car.

At the same time, the micro-turbocharged engine will also start synchronously.

The wheel-changing turbine and the micro-turbocharged engine together form a forward force, pulling the car to accelerate and fly forward.

This force has an upper limit, and will reach a balance with the air flow and the resistance of the car at a certain speed, so as to calculate the maximum speed of the flying car when it is flying.

Although it is only a theoretical maximum speed, it is also very informative.

After a day of testing, the various parameters of the flying car have reached the standard, and the performance of some internal components has also been adjusted, and the maximum speed of the flight is close to more than [-] kilometers per hour.

That's a pretty amazing speed.

Although there is still a gap with the maximum speed of an airplane, the construction of flying cars is not for high-speed flight. It can reach [-] kilometers per hour, which means that it only takes less than three hours to travel from the capital to the magic capital. , and the real aircraft is almost the same.

"As far as the power of the car is concerned, when the flying speed exceeds [-] kilometers per hour, the micro turbocharged engine is the main source of power. At this time, the effect of changing the wheels is already very small."

After passing the wind test, the technicians concluded, "Because the rotation speed of the turbine will be offset by the flight speed, and when the flight speed exceeds 350 kilometers per hour, the turbine will even hinder the speed."

"So, when the speed exceeds two hundred kilometers, in fact, the turbine can be turned off directly."

"But in the initial acceleration phase, the turbine is very important."

"At this time, the power provided by the turbo engine is very limited, even negligible."

"However, this is also the biggest problem of acceleration in the flight state, because the acceleration provided by the turbine is limited, and the fastest acceleration in the flight state is only about 17 meters per second."

This acceleration is really not fast.

Even ordinary civilian cars can accelerate to [-] kilometers in five seconds, such as unlimited power cars, which can accelerate to [-] kilometers in three seconds.

In the flying state of the flying car, it takes six seconds to accelerate to [-] kilometers. The acceleration speed can be said to be very small, but considering the flying state, it does not need to slow down most of the time, which has little impact on use.

The various performances of the flying car have achieved satisfactory results.

After a full day of fixed testing, the next day was a test flight.

The first test flight did not require personnel to operate, but relied on a simple system to let the aircraft rise vertically in an open field, slowly accelerate the flight, circle around and return to the original place.

This is the first test flight.

After the first test is over, there will be the second test, which is to accelerate the car to [-] kilometers per hour, and then directly turn on the reaction system to achieve high-speed flight.

Ordinary civil aviation aircraft will only raise their heads and take off into the sky after accelerating more than [-] kilometers per hour, but the flying car relies on the anti-gravity system, which can achieve vertical lift-off, and does not need to accelerate too fast. After an hour of acceleration, it doesn't even need to change the wheels after lift-off, relying on the micro-turbocharged engine, it can continue to accelerate the flight.

The maximum speed of this test flight will reach 250 kilometers per hour, and the intelligent system will control the car to circle a large circle and then return to the original place.

Regardless of whether it is the first test or the second test, there will still be technicians in the cockpit, and the technicians will wear safety suits that resist physical collisions. Even if the car breaks down in the air, the staff wearing safety suits will jump off, theoretically Neither will suffer much damage.

Of course.

When faced with security issues, no one can guarantee that there will be no problems.

Therefore, before the test started, Zhao Yi still explained many things to the technicians who went up, reminding him that safety is the most important thing.

The staff on the flying car, wearing thick safety clothing, certainly cannot do subtle operations, but they can do the two most important operations.

One operation is to turn off other energy-consuming devices, so that the electric energy can be fully supplied to the anti-gravity system to ensure the operation of the anti-gravity system.

This is one of the options to ensure security.

The other is to decelerate, just like a car brakes, the deceleration can also be controlled during flight, by deploying the drag wings and turning off the solar energy transmission supply to the combustion chamber of the micro-turbocharged engine.

When the flying car loses engine power and generates a lot of resistance, it will naturally decelerate quickly.

The latter is impossible for ordinary aircraft.

The turbine engine used in ordinary airplanes burns with high heat from the fuel supply. The engine can isolate the fuel supply, but because the fuel has already been delivered, the high temperature of the combustion chamber will not directly become normal just because the fuel is cut off. temperature.

The newly designed micro-turbine engine is different. The high heat source of the combustion chamber is the solar energy transmission and supply. Turning off the two small space transmission and receiving devices can naturally reduce the engine power quickly, and even directly make the engine an obstacle to flight.

soon.

Test preparation begins.

Qiu Chengwen, Edward Witten and others arrived at the open space for the test early. At first they thought it was a real test flight, and they both shouted to go up and try it.

Of course they knew that the test flight was risky, but because of yesterday's basic test, all the data was very normal, so they felt that there was no problem with the test flight.

That is of course impossible.

"I also want to go up and try." Zhao Yi said with the corners of his mouth pulled, "But you see, our test pilots have to wear thick safety suits."

"--Right."

Qiu Chengwen was a little disappointed immediately, but continued, "Zhao Yi, this is my childhood dream. I remember when I was seven years old, I was standing on the side of the road with my father and saw a beautiful car driving past. "

"At that time, I was very envious of the people sitting in the car, so I told my father that I must drive a cooler car in the future."

"My dad asked me, what's a cooler car?"

"What do you think my answer is?"

"Flying cars?" Zhao Yi said the answer directly, which made Qiu Chengwen feel even more depressed. He was held back for a long time before he said, "You're right, but what I said was , I will operate the car to fly, and when the time comes, I will take you on a trip around the world."

"At that time, my father was very happy, but what he was happy about was not the dream I said, but he felt that I finally showed the same virginity as other children of the same age."

Everyone else fell silent.

At first, I thought that what Qiu Chengwen was talking about was an interesting story from childhood, but in the end, after listening to it, the feeling became different.

Zhao Yi's understanding is pretending to be x, and his interpretation of the story is, "I have been different from other peers since I was a child. I am a super genius, and I don't have the innocence of a child."

The reason for his understanding is probably that he has no similar experience at all.

He was very mediocre when he was young.

To be precise, he has always been very mediocre in his previous life.

Edward Witten has feelings and understands Qiu Chengwen's feelings very well. They are also considered to be child prodigies when they are young, and they are not too different in age. Occasionally, when they recall the past, they will be very emotional.

However, no matter what kind of ideas you have, flying cars are indeed something that many people have imagined.

Now the world's first flying car is about to start testing in front of our eyes, and everyone is looking forward to it.
