Chapter 461: New launch vehicle

The new type of launch vehicle that Ye Su plans to study is an arduous project for him.
The traditional launch vehicle alone is a very large project.
It needs to involve various disciplines such as materials science, dynamics, mechanical manufacturing, etc. It is simply an extremely complex task.
Generally speaking, if you want to manufacture and carry out rocket research and development, at least thousands of technicians need to work together to hope to complete this difficult task.
Not to mention that the rocket Ye Su wants to develop now is a brand new launch vehicle.
This kind of rocket is completely different from traditional rockets in terms of power and structure. It has no connection with previous rockets.
The rocket research experience accumulated by the East in the past is of no use to Ye Su at all.
Ye Su now needs to study from scratch to perfect the entire rocket technology.
The new launch vehicle is propelled by a fusion reactor, so the entire rocket design has to be redone.
The previous rocket designs have to be overthrown, and Ye Su must study all aspects.
It can be said that the shape of this new type of launch vehicle is completely different from before.
After the use of fixed fuel is not required, the huge thrusters under the rocket can be completely eliminated.
So Ye Su's next task is still very arduous, there are many things waiting for him to study.
Fortunately, Ye Su gave all the simple tasks to his team to complete. As long as Ye Su took the time to guide them, he could get the final result.
This saved Ye Su a lot of time and gave him more energy to focus on researching key technologies.
Among the most critical super-heart technologies, the most difficult problem to solve is the problem of power.
Although the new type of rocket has decided on the new power, the power of the rocket is not just a change. There are still many troublesome problems.
A rocket needs to fly in the air, and there is nothing that can make it borrow, so it cannot use the traditional power model.
After the rocket flies out of the atmosphere, it will even fly in a vacuum, when there is nothing around the rocket.
Therefore, the rocket uses solid fuel as its power. When the solid fuel is burned, it will produce a lot of propulsion and eject it from the rocket's injection port.
The flames emitted from these jets will produce a huge reaction force to propel the rocket into space.
This is an application of reaction force, which is completely different from ordinary vehicles.
The power mode used by traditional means of transportation needs the support of external conditions.
A car needs to be on the ground to be able to drive, and it is driven by wheels.
Ships also need to be in the water to be able to work, which is the propelling force generated by the propeller in the water.
Even airplanes are flying in the air, and airplanes cannot fly without air.
But there is nothing in space, so it can only move by reaction force.
The power systems on traditional vehicles cannot be used on rockets at all.
This creates a big problem, that is, how to drive the rocket to fly with the energy produced by the fusion reactor.
Although fusion reactors can provide a lot of energy, they cannot be used directly on rockets.
Because the energy provided by the fusion reactor is electricity.
It is not very difficult to use electric energy in traditional vehicles. Electric motors have already been invented.
Ye Su has developed a mature electric car, and it is now selling well.
But when electric energy is applied to rockets, it becomes a huge problem.
You cannot install a propeller or a wheel directly on the rocket to propel the rocket.
Because we don't have any in space, none of these things have any effect.
How to use electricity to drive the rocket and allow it to fly in space is the next problem Ye Su must solve.
In fact, this is a question of energy conversion, how can electric energy be converted into propulsion, and it must be able to operate in a vacuum.
This problem may not be solved by others, but Ye Su knows a solution.
Ye Su knows a new type of engine that can use electricity to generate enough propulsion.
Moreover, this kind of engine can run smoothly without any medium, and can smoothly generate driving force in a vacuum.
This new type of engine is the crystallization of the technology of Ye Su's last generation. It took a long time for the advanced civilization to master this advanced technology.
Ye Su stayed in the laboratory and it took more than two months to successfully research this new engine.
The new engine developed by Ye Su this time is called the "Beisley Engine". This engine uses a completely different way of working, so it can be used in a vacuum.
The Beisley engine only needs electricity to work, without any help from other things.
And the performance of this engine is very superior, the propulsion can reach a very high level, can fully meet the requirements of the rocket launch, is a nearly perfect engine.
After completing the Besley engine, the new rocket has already seen its prototype.
The other technologies are all designed to match this kind of engine, enabling the rocket to be loaded with a Besley engine.
As long as the other parts of the new rocket are manufactured and can work with the Besley engine, Ye Su's goal this time will be successfully achieved.
However, the Besley engine is just a super heart, and there are still many technologies to be developed, and these technologies will take a lot of time for Ye Su.
After all, the launch vehicle is not so well-researched, and it is not enough to solve the power problem.
There are still many problems that need to be solved by Ye Su, so that a rocket can be completely sent into space.
After Ye Su finished the work on the Besley engine, he went to the Aerospace Technology Company.
During this time, he has been busy with his own research and has not had time to care about the situation of his subordinates.
Their research is also very important, and it can't be done without those new technology rockets.
