Chapter 294: Fel Engine

Chen Fan stared at it for a while, and saw that the Fel engine was indeed running very stably, and asked, "What is the thrust-to-weight ratio of this engine?"
Li Lin immediately sweated on his forehead and said with a guilty conscience: "Please forgive me. We have only conducted three stability experiments. We haven't had time to measure the thrust of this engine. The main reason is that the underground test field is too small for this purpose. Experiment."
Chen Fan said: "Don't be nervous, I don't mean to blame you."
"Thank you for your kindness, the king." Li Lin immediately let out a sigh of relief.
Chen Fan thought for a while and ordered a guard to call Huang Jiao.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Huang Jiao rushed to salute, panting, "Would you please have any orders?"
Chen Fan said directly: "I need a spacious open space, but it must be far away from people."
Huang Jiao thought for a while and said, "There is an unnamed valley three hundred miles to the south, which is more than a thousand meters long, and has a hundred meters at its widest point. You only need to guard the valley to prevent outsiders from entering."
Chen Fan asked, "What factories or towns are there nearby?"
Huang Jiao replied: "There is a farm close to it."
Chen Fan gave an order: "Spend money to move the farm away, and then list a hundred miles around the valley as a military restricted zone."
"Yes, my lord!" Huang Jiao didn't ask for the reason, and walked away directly.
Chen Fan turned to Li Lin and said: "Check your equipment and prepare to move."
"It's the king."
...
The entire relocation process only took three days.
Soon, an "Imperial Aerospace Research Center" that only a few people knew was officially established in this hidden valley.
Li Lin was promoted again and was appointed as the head of the Imperial Space Agency, the official minister of the Ministry of Industry, and the third grade.
And the research team led by Li Lin was also highly rewarded.
As the saying goes, rewarding brave husbands is the same in scientific research.
Chen Fan knows that scientific research is about burning money, but he will surely be surprised if he finds the right direction and is willing to spend money.
One month later, after hundreds of rigorous experiments, the data of the first generation of Fel Engine was finally collected and presented to Chen Fan.
When Chen Fan opened the first page of the data report, he was almost blinded by the exaggerated data.
If he hadn't supervised the entire experiment process, he would almost think that the people below were deliberately fooling him.
"At full power, the thrust-to-weight ratio is 50~60!" Chen Fan secretly smacked his tongue, and his heart jumped.
What is the concept of a thrust-to-weight ratio of 50~60?
The thrust-to-weight ratios of those liquid rocket engines in his previous life vary greatly depending on the engine characteristics and thrust levels. For medium or high thrust engines, the thrust-to-weight ratio can reach 70-100 based on the structural weight (force) excluding the propellant.
The ultimate thrust-to-weight ratio of the propulsion engine of Yingjiang’s most advanced F35 fighter jet is about 15-20.
In other words, he can build a rocket with only two Fel Engines!
Of course, building rockets is a bit too crazy now. If it doesn't, it will only create a large-sized sky monkey.
But having such an advanced engine in hand made Chen Fan's heart a little bit ready.
"It seems that you can skip the propeller plane and directly develop the jet plane." Chen Fan took a few deep breaths to calm down his excitement, and continued to look at the experimental data behind, when suddenly a strange test data made him stare.
Oxygen consumption: zero
Chen Fan blinked his eyes to confirm that he was not mistaken. This data was at the end. If he hadn't read it carefully, he might have missed it.
"Come here."
"Yes, King."
"Go to Zhao Lilin to come for questioning."
"Yes, King."
Soon Li Lin, who was ruddy, was summoned.
"The villain sees the king."
"Get up and talk." Chen Fan pushed the data report in front of him, pointed to the last oxygen consumption data on the first page and asked: "Why is this oxygen consumption zero? Did the experimenter make a mistake?"
Li Lin took a look and immediately replied, "Major, this is correct, because I have personally checked each data three times."
Chen Fan raised his eyebrows and said: "Are you sure? Does the Fel Engine really don't consume oxygen when it works?"
"Yes, King." Zhao Lin answered truthfully: "The Fel Engine only consumes spiritual stone powder, but after burning it will release a lot of energy and also excrete some highly toxic waste gas. After the villain's research, those waste gas should be It is a low-purity chaotic gas. The villain has already noted this on the fifth page of the report, and has applied for research on how to purify these exhaust gases."
Chen Fan turned to the fifth page of the report and saw that it happened.
"Tsk tusk, this evil energy is really magical. It can produce energy only by consuming spiritual stone powder, so it should be able to operate normally in some extreme environments." Chen Fan couldn't help thinking about building a rocket again.
The biggest problem for mankind to build rockets is to keep the rocket's thrust after flying out of outer space. After all, there is no oxygen in outer space. In addition to carrying enough fuel to fly into space, rockets also need to carry a large amount of combustion aid. This is based on grams. For computing spacecraft, it is undoubtedly a huge sum of money burned in vain.
With the Fel Engine, none of this is a problem. You only need to bring enough spirit stones, and interstellar navigation may no longer be a dream.
And there are not many other things on Hunyuan Star. Those corrupted spirit stones have accumulated reserves for hundreds of thousands of years!
However, the only problem facing Chen Fan now is that the fel engine emits a large amount of toxic exhaust gas when it is running. If this can't be solved, when the planes fly all over the sky in the future, those planes are simply poison sprayers. It is estimated that within a few years any environmental deterioration, plant death, animal extinction will be staged on Hunyuan Star.
When the time comes, the Aoki tree ancestor will definitely come over and shoot himself to death.
"Sure enough, there are advantages and disadvantages. There is no best of both worlds!" Chen Fan scratched his head and sighed, because he didn't have any good ideas. It's too big to get the egg! "Chen Fan said to Li Lin: "I approved this research proposal, but it is definitely unrealistic to purify the chaotic air. You will focus your research on how to recycle it. "
"Yes, the villain understands." Li Lin replied.
In the following days, Chen Fan stayed in the Ten Thousand Poison Valley to preside over the research on the aircraft.
Originally, he thought that having his own control over the whole situation would definitely not let the aircraft's style be skewed again, but after three months, looking at the design drawings of the first-generation aircraft that he drew with his own hands, Chen Fan felt that he couldn't bear to look directly at it.
"Skyfire" spacecraft!
This is the first aircraft designed by Chen Fan and hundreds of researchers in three months.
The appearance is taken from the World of Warcraft airship that Chen Fan was most familiar with in his previous life, except that the buoyancy-providing propeller was removed, and a more mysterious and advanced buoyancy rune was used to provide buoyancy for the huge hull. Then four fel engines were installed to provide flight power for the airship, allowing the airship weighing 20,000 tons to fly freely at supersonic speeds in the second heavy day.
