Chapter 145: Plasma jet propulsion engine

"I remember that gold-titanium alloy is not this color." Ye Fan frowned when he looked at the pale gray metal block on the ground.
Gold-titanium alloy is an alloy made of 99% gold and l% titanium. Its color looks close to pure gold. It is also called "Nine-Nine Gold" and marked as "990".
The purest gold-titanium alloy, that is to say, the gold-titanium alloy produced in the ratio of gold to titanium can only be produced by military enterprises.
Private enterprises on the market, even if the steelmaking industry has reached its peak, it is completely useless.
Gold-titanium alloys must be produced at a ratio of 99% gold and 1% titanium.
However, in private enterprises currently on the market, the proportion of gold can only be controlled at 88.7%, the proportion of titanium is 0.75%, and the rest are impurities. They have not fully achieved the structure of only two substances, gold and titanium.
Although this proportional deviation can be ignored, if it is used in a rocket engine, even a missile engine, or an aircraft engine, it won't cause any problems. Once a problem occurs, it will definitely be the end.
The gold-titanium alloy in front of him is gray, which is totally unreasonable.
"Hey, boss, this is the disguise of those ghosts. If it is as golden as gold, how can it be smuggled here?" Lin Wei suddenly smiled.
Lin Wei beckoned to the workers, and soon a worker took out a bucket of sulfuric acid from the side and took protective measures on the side.
"Boss, step back, don't splash it, this thing is very corrosive." Lin Wei said, while instructing the workers to pour a bucket of sulfuric acid on the surface of the gold-titanium alloy.
"Shit!"
When a bucket of sulfuric acid was poured down, the camouflaged substance was corroded all at once, the gray gradually faded, and what was left was only brilliant gold.
"Golden Legend!" Looking at the gold-titanium alloy in front of him, Ye Fan suddenly thought of this stalk in the game.
No wonder the gold outfits in the game are so awesome. I didn't expect such a large pile of gold in real life to be more dazzling than the game.
"Yes, this is a gold-titanium alloy. Let's put it here for now. When the intelligent robot is assembled, it will be melted." Ye Fan nodded and said.
"The ion engine side, when will it arrive?"
"It will probably arrive tomorrow afternoon. There will be a few suitcases mixed in a batch of steel materials." Lin Wei took out the notebook and replied.
Ye Fan also nodded lightly.
Ion engine is just a popular term, its full name is "plasma jet propulsion engine".
The ion engine is a real high-tech thing. It requires a variety of high-precision and cutting-edge machinery and various high-end engineers to create it.
Anyway, the scientific and technological strength of today's Datang Heavy Industry is unable to manufacture this thing. After all, to manufacture the same product requires a related industrial chain, related industrial mother machines, and various equipment.
For example, the most basic computer processor I9-9900K, even if the drawings and production steps are all made public, there are still only a few companies in the world that can make it.
Don’t look at Ye Fan’s previous development of quantum computers, but the various core parts of quantum computers, such as quantum transistors, were all secretly purchased from abroad in large quantities.
The processing and manufacturing of Datang Heavy Industries is nothing more than making core parts into parts that can be modularly installed.
The basic core parts are still sourced from laboratories in countries such as Armager and some high-end suppliers.
And this ion engine is also a high-end thing, and even if you know the drawings and design principles, you can't get it without an industrial foundation, you can only buy it.
Amegian started research and development on the ion engine in 2007, and only produced more than 20 samples in 2017, most of which have been reimbursed in various tests.
An ion engine is about the size of a palm, and its operating principle is to convert a large amount of electrical energy into a large amount of charged ion currents, thereby ejecting the charged ion currents through a complex electromagnetic field to form thrust.
This kind of engine is not only lightweight, but also a palm-sized engine that can produce power comparable to that of a Boeing 747 passenger aircraft engine. However, research on ion engines has been shelved and abandoned.
There is no other reason, just because the power consumption of this thing is too nonsense.
After all, an ion engine can only be driven by the electricity of almost a power station, and its speed is not much faster than an aero engine.
Before the human battery industry, or micro-controllable nuclear fusion, this kind of ion engine was completely a pile of scrap iron.
After all, Ameijian’s think tank is not a fool. He invested tens of billions of dollars in it. As a result, the engine is made smaller and the thrust is good, but each engine must be connected to a superconductor wire, and each wire must be tied to a power generation. Station full power generation!
So at that time, this ion engine almost angered Ameijian’s think tank. The relevant research teams were all disbanded, and the remaining samples after the test were also thrown in the warehouse.
It is precisely because of this ion engine that even if it is built, there is no use, and even if all the technology is disclosed, no one except the relevant research team can create it, so the management and control are also sparse.
However, even if the control is sparse, this thing is stored in a warehouse of a small military base, and I don't know what methods are used in the black market on the other side of the ocean~EbookFREE.me~ can actually get this thing.
It's just that the price of this ion engine is also very expensive. With just six ion engines, the black market actually offered a price of 600 million yuan.
It may also be because of the so-called "starving the courageous to death". No one can ignore this generous bonus. Even some famous gods in the industry can basically spend the rest of their lives with this vote. .
It is estimated that this is also the reason why the ion engine is so fast.
Otherwise, if you really can't get it, you can only build the relevant industry chain yourself.
But if it is done in this way, even if Ye Fan has systematically given technology, it can save a lot of costs such as theory and scientific research. It is not enough to invest in this high-end technology industry chain without tens of billions of dollars.
So in the eyes of others, Ye Fan is already a successful person, a figure of the richest level.
But Ye Fan himself thinks that he is still a poor man. After all, he needs money to conduct scientific research. Without a small amount of money, he can't even buy a piece of equipment.
