Chapter Five Hundred and Eighty Third: This Question Is Beyond the Outline

The central control cabin, which is not big or small, accommodates nearly 20 people, and is slightly crowded. Even so, everyone still does not feel that it is small.

As a space vehicle, there is only one of the six main cabins here, which is already very large.

There is a platform at the entrance of the control cabin.

The platform has an obvious mechanical structure, it seems that there is something hidden inside, and there are various indicator lights, about one meter five in diameter, as high as waist, embedded in the ground. Next to it is a console, which is the one that controls which compartment, judging from the division of the buttons and the text markings.

Everyone else found a relatively convenient location and watched Chen Mo walk over curiously.

"This is the energy source of the aircraft."

Chen Mo pressed a button and entered his fingerprint and password information.

In an instant, the bright silver metal cover on the top of the platform spread out like a turbofan, and a transparent glass cylinder the thickness of a calf slowly rose.

Both ends of the glass column are fixed by a complex mechanical structure, like the poles of a battery, filled with transparent blue liquid, and in the middle of the liquid, everyone can see a lilac polyhedron crystal the size of a goose egg, the crystal is the thickness of a thumb. The catheter is fixed, with both ends, similar to a battery.

And this kind of 'battery' has a total of eight, which are arranged in a circle in the platform.

"This is the energy battery." Chen Mo said.

There is no need to hide, some things, when the space plane and the ion engine appeared, it was time to announce.

When the aerospace plane was developed, he thought about the time when these technologies would be shown to others.

"impossible."

Several experts lost their voices almost simultaneously.

How many crystals the size of goose eggs can provide power for such a huge plane?

impossible.

The existence of this kind of thing is beyond the scope of their current knowledge and cognition.

If Chen Mo said it was a small fusion reactor that provided the energy, their reaction might not have been that big. Because Chen Mo has successfully researched controlled nuclear fusion, it is technically feasible to miniaturize the controlled nuclear fusion reactor.

Now Chen Mo told them that this crystal, which is not big enough for a fist, is the energy source for the ion engine.

It sounds too exaggerated, too incredible.

"Academician Chen, isn't this a joke?" Yang Wei was obviously not convinced.

It's not that he doubts Chen Mo, but that all this is too unbelievable and completely subverts their cognition.

This kind of thing currently only exists in movies, not even in theory.

"It's really a bit miraculous." Chen Mo didn't care about everyone's questioning eyes: "But it's a fact, these 'batteries' are the energy of the aircraft."

"Crazy crazy."

Hearing Chen Mo's firm words, several experts found it difficult to accept.

Here today, they refresh their worldview. Whether it's an ion engine, or a variety of other technologies, it's something that shouldn't be there now.

He was wondering if Chen Mo was talking crazy, or if he was dreaming.

What would the world look like if there was such a source of energy? Human development will be accelerated for decades.

"This is a new element crystal that has undergone high-energy transformation. It has specificity. Under the irradiation and catalysis of strong light, it can radiate high-energy beta particles. The radiated particles increase with the enhancement of light intensity, so it can be used to control generate electricity."

new element?

With this explanation, everyone on the field was silent.

The new element means that the current knowledge is unknown about it.

No one thinks that their current periodic table contains all the elements of the universe. The universe is so big and there are too many unknown substances. They may not even recognize 1% of it. It is not unusual to have a special element.

The people on the field are all scientific researchers, and they accept new things very quickly. Chen Mo's explanation made everyone's excitement a little slower, but they are still full of doubts and disbelief.

"Can this material replace controlled fusion as an energy source?"

"cannot."

Chen Mo shook his head.

"As far as the current laws of physical cognition are concerned, energy is conserved. This crystal has been transformed, and the internal atoms are in a critical state of excitation. It can radiate high-energy particles under strong light stimulation because it absorbs a lot of energy during the transformation. The bright light just acts as a catalyst.

We can think of this new element as an energy storage substance that simply releases the absorbed energy. After the energy is released, it loses its function and becomes a waste battery.

There is also a limitation. The volume of the elemental crystals of this element cannot be too large, and the energy they can absorb is also limited. Once the energy is overloaded, it will be useless. "

Chen Mo briefly introduced the characteristics of this new element to everyone. In order to study these elements, the company's electricity bill was in the hundreds of millions every month, but Zhao Min saw the data and said that he was abnormal.

For these few crystals, he went to Science Island and used the star ring of controlled nuclear fusion to generate electricity, and the cost was not so terrible.

The experts on the field looked at each other, including the material experts. The material expert has come into contact with many magical materials, but this element is beyond the scope of his knowledge.

Although everyone has doubts, they still suspect that Chen Mo is fake, but because of Chen Mo's authority, they can only temporarily suppress the doubts in their hearts. Because there are too many things beyond the basics in the technology researched by Chen Mo, and they don't understand it, it doesn't mean that Chen Mo doesn't understand either.

The new elements are unknown to any of them.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Chen Mo turned his head, closed the platform of the energy battery, and returned to its original appearance.

Without his code and instructions, no one can access the batteries unless the plane is dismantled.

"How do you convert beta particles into electricity?"

"This reactor has a thermoelectric conversion system made of a new material. The new material can absorb beta particles and heat energy and convert it into electricity."

Chen Mo patted the control platform.

"Theoretically, it can absorb the high-energy electrons radiated by all radioactive elements. But the radiation of radioactive elements is uncontrollable and fixed. The difference is that the high-energy electrons radiated by the elemental crystals of this new element can be controlled by laser catalysis. "

hiss……

Another kind of content that they don't have in their knowledge reserves.

This question is out of line again.

Especially the material expert, watching Chen Mo at this time is more eager than watching the Miss World champion. If he can, he doesn't mind having a good chat with Chen Mo, and he can be a student.

After a tour in the aerospace plane, a group of people came out of it, still in a trance state, and the shock has not faded.

Chen Mo knows everything about them. After a circle, he has received too much new information and new technologies, and they are all new knowledge points.

The value of this aircraft aside, the new element of the battery is already invaluable. There are also reactors that use high-energy electrons to generate electricity, ion engines, and many technologies and new materials that are unknown to them.

The experts on the field have the feeling of living in vain.

Any kind of technology is unimaginable in their lifetime.

It's not an airplane, it's a treasure trove of technology.

All the technologies they researched were less valuable than the one technology contained in this aircraft.

Now only one last doubt remains.

Can this plane fly?

If it can fly, it proves that all the technologies Chen Mo said are true and feasible.

If any technology in it is announced to the public, it can cause a magnitude 10 earthquake in the technology circle. If all the technology of this plane is exposed, wouldn't it be Mars hitting the earth?

After everyone left the aerospace plane, Qi Qi looked at Chen Mo.

They are eager to see the test flight of the plane, but they are a team sent to observe, they are guests, what will be done next is what Chen Mo said, not what they want to see.

"Next, prepare for the test flight." Chen Mo said to the ink girl beside him.

Today's task was originally a test flight. This team of experts just came to visit. The weather outside is good now, which is a good time for the test flight.
