Chapter 83 Scramjet-propelled broomstick

With more than a year until the collapse of the Soviet Union, it's not too late to start planning.

There was still some time before the end of the Charms class, and Albert couldn't wait to contact Woz with the magic of lantern body.

However, Albert forgot that Woz and the others also had classes now.

And it’s Professor McGonagall’s Transfiguration class.

A black shadow gathered around Woz, and Albert, whose consciousness was projected onto the body of the slide, saw the serious face of Professor McGonagall as soon as he opened his eyes.

His gaze was like a knife stabbing at the Phantom's body. Even though he was several floors away, Albert felt his scalp numb and his back chilly.

The phantom dissipated.

Can't be bothered, can't be bothered, slipped away.

Let's talk to Woz again at the Room of Requirement party tonight.

……

Recently, the Quidditch teams of the four houses of Hogwarts will also start recruiting new players.

Quidditch is a high-speed, dangerous and exciting sport, and it is also the most important sport in the wizarding world.

Everyone is paying attention to Quidditch.

Like ordinary games, it is played on a court surrounded by stands. There are three 50-foot-tall gold poles at each end of the court with rings on top.

Competitors fly in the air on broomsticks in two teams of seven, each consisting of a goalkeeper, three chasers, two batters and a seeker.

As a ball game, "Quidditch" uses three different balls at the same time:

A red ball as big as a football and more like an ordinary ball is the "Quaffle". The chasers pass the "Quaffle" to each other and try to pass it through the opponent's ring. Each time they get 10 points. The goalkeeper is responsible for guarding his team's ring.

The two aggressive black balls, which are slightly smaller than the Quaffle, are called "bludgers". They fly around on their own, always trying to knock players off their brooms, while the batsman is responsible for protecting his teammates. Get hit by a Bludger and knock it towards an opposing player.

A golden ball the size of a large hazelnut with silver wings is the "Golden Snitch". It flies as fast as lightning and it is the Seeker's job to catch it.

When the Snitch is captured, the team that caught it scores 150 points, and a Quidditch match ends.

Albert was not interested in Quidditch, but he was very interested in making broomsticks.

As early as when he saw the Weasley family's T-34 tank, Albert had thought of the possibility of combining Muggle technology with magical items.

During the summer vacation, he made the first flying broomstick combined with Muggle technology in Nico's manor.

The idea at the time was to install a rocket engine on the back of the broomstick.

For an alchemist, things like liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen are readily available. As fuel for engines, Muggles are very troublesome in the preparation process and storage of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen, but they can easily produce several tons of it. It's not a problem to come out and save it.

As for high-temperature-resistant and high-strength metals, Albert easily made them under the guidance of Nico Flamel.

The metals created by alchemists using magic have much better properties than Muggles' aerospace materials.

After picking up a few books on rocket manufacturing from the Muggle community, Albert began to radically transform the light wheel broomstick.

Fortunately, Albert's sanity was still there and he did not sit in the driver's seat during the first test.

Otherwise, Nico would have to calculate how far the fragments of Albert's body could fly when hundreds of kilograms of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen exploded hundreds of meters high in the air.

An alchemical golem that could be remotely controlled by attaching his thoughts was stuffed into the cockpit of the broomstick named "Blackbird", and Albert controlled the golem to start the broom's engine.

The engine exhaust evaporated a large amount of water in the pool below, and the white mist formed after the water vapor condensed enveloped most of Lemay Manor.

then……

Then halfway through the flight, the broom exploded.

The detection array on the broom collected enough experimental data, and Albert recorded it in order to continue improving it in the future.

Later, Vilia's parents were attacked.

From then on, Albert devoted almost all his energy to the Jinchuuriki manufacturing plan.

So after all this time, version 2.0 of the broomstick is still on the design drawings.

In the past few days, the brewing of the potion has come to an end, and the sealing magic circle has not yet had any ideas. Albert continues to advance the plan to modify the flying broomstick as a pastime in his spare time.

The rocket engine has such shortcomings that Albert does not intend to continue to use it as a broom engine. It is not suitable.

He set his sights on the scramjet engine, whose technology is still immature.

A scramjet is a ramjet in which fuel is burned in a supersonic airflow.

When using hydrocarbon fuel, the flight Mach number of the scramjet engine is below 8. When using liquid hydrogen fuel, the flight Mach number can reach 6 to 25.

The supersonic or hypersonic airflow expands to the lower supersonic speed of Mach 4 in the inlet, and then the fuel is injected from the wall or protrusions in the airflow, mixed with air and burned in the supersonic combustion chamber. Finally, the burned gas passes through Expanding nozzle discharge.

The problems that Muggles encountered when studying scramjet engines, such as the extremely high thermal load of the hypersonic propulsion system and the need for fuel to complete the cooling tasks of many components during operation, are not a problem from the perspective of alchemists. .

In the magic world, there are materials that can withstand Li Huo's high-temperature flames of thousands of degrees. The cooling task can also be completed by the magic circle.

Because there was no need to consider these issues, Albert drew the design drawings of the second-generation "Blackbird" broomstick during the summer.

only……

The first-generation Blackbird still retains half of the broom structure, provided that you regard the pitot tube in front as a broomstick...

Perhaps, when riding a broom to carry other people, the person being carried can ride on the pitot tube...

The driver still has to sit in the cockpit.

The second-generation Blackbird canceled the pitot tube design.

Ok……

You call a missile with a cockpit a "flying broomstick"?

Is there any misunderstanding about the definition of broomstick?

Slender matte-colored elastomer body, smooth aerodynamic shape design, X-shaped four-piece tail, abdominal air intake, vector nozzle...

You call this a broomstick?

The Firebolt, which will be launched in the next few years, is said to be the most perfect broomstick ever produced and represents the highest level of craftsmanship. Its top speed cannot reach the speed of sound.

And the second generation Blackbird...

Mach 1?

Let alone Mach 1, any speed below Mach 5 is an insult to it.

I don't know if it will be able to play on the Quidditch pitch once it's made.

When the time comes to ride it across the Quidditch pitch, a sonic boom cloud knocks out other Quidditch players.

With a swipe of the tail, the tail flame sprays onto people, which is great fun.

Never mind it, Albert didn't bother to pay attention to all the mess, he just wanted to be happy.

He is a Hogwarts-like man.

Death is like the wind, always with me!
