Great Power Reclamation

Chapter 1374 The Feelings of the Children of the Corps
In the past, the power of the Stirling engine was relatively small. Among them, the power of the dedicated Stirling engine on the AIP submarine was usually only 50-75 kilowatts, and the largest was only 125 kilowatts.

But the high-power Stirling engine successfully developed by the third brother this time, the power of the prototype can reach 280 kilowatts, and it is expected to increase the power to the megawatt level in the future.

And one megawatt is 1000 kilowatts. If there are Stirling engines of this level, only 2 to 3 units need to be connected in parallel to provide power of thousands of kilowatts. Then the submarine can completely abandon the diesel engine and directly use the Stirling engine. + battery combination.

This means that the submarine can save hundreds of tons of weight, and free up a section of more than ten meters long to forcefully install larger liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen tanks.

In this way, even with a Stirling engine, a conventional submarine can have a maximum underwater speed of 15 to 20 knots, while in the snorkel sailing state, the Stirling engine can directly absorb oxygen from the air to work, and can also give The battery is charged to obtain a stronger underwater endurance.

And it is worth noting that the Stirling engine is an external combustion engine, so it only needs to heat one end of the cylinder, but the heating method does not necessarily have to be achieved by burning liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen.

This provides more options for the Stirling engine.For example, a small nuclear reactor is installed on a submarine, and the Stirling engine is driven by the heat release of the small nuclear reactor. Compared with the traditional nuclear reactor + steam turbine system, the combination of the nuclear reactor + Stirling engine has fast start-up, high thermal efficiency, and low noise. The advantages of small size, no corrosion and water leakage and other failures, the whole system is simple and reliable.

Moreover, this kind of submarine only needs a small nuclear reactor with low power to continue to operate, and its tactical performance is even higher than that of ordinary AIP submarines. It is a promising development direction in the future.

In fact, in addition to submarines, the Stirling engine has another important use-space exploration.

Because space is close to a vacuum, all kinds of fuel and oxygen-powered machinery on the earth in the past could not work normally, and modern nuclear power devices also need to use steam turbines to transfer energy, that is, "nuclear energy→steam→steam turbine→power generation Machine → electric energy".

In the middle, there are three conversions of steam heat energy, mechanical kinetic energy and electric energy, so the efficiency is relatively low.

Moreover, if a nuclear reactor is connected to a steam turbine, it will not only be inefficient, but also require a lot of water-because the nuclear reactor has two circuits, the first circuit needs heavy water, and the second circuit uses ordinary distilled water, so it is large in size and weight. Not very reliable.

However, if a Stirling engine is used, the nuclear reactor can be used to directly heat the Stirling engine and then provide kinetic energy, so it is more efficient and smaller, and is very suitable for the energy system of the future space station.

Of course, all of the latter are ideas and possibilities.I don't know how many setbacks I have to go through to really realize it.

But I have to admit that the third brother and his team's breakthrough in the power of the Stirling engine has cross-age significance.

But the third child will undoubtedly be an unsung hero this time, because Ye Yuze is destined not to give this kind of technology to others.

Anyway, before the research and development, the third child had already taken confidentiality measures, and hired different personnel at each stage.And when it came time to finally assemble the prototype, he was the only one left.

Ye Yuze called Lao Liu and briefly explained the situation, but the words were very cryptic, even if others heard it, they would not understand it.

Old Liu naturally understood and was very excited.He asked Ye Yuze to wait for a while, he needed to report to his superiors.

An hour later, Lao Liu called and told him to fly directly to Dalian, where someone would be waiting for him.

Ye Yuze didn't hesitate either, and took off with the third child and the prototype.Upon arriving at the airport, three military jeeps were already waiting there.The two of them were picked up by the same plane.

Three days later, the account of Lao Sanfa had an extra 100 billion US dollars, but this patent has nothing to do with him at all.

When Lao Liu sent him to the plane, he held his hand very hard: "Ye Yuze, thank you for everything you have done. I am also sorry for your father's affairs. The higher ups have their considerations and also to protect you."

Ye Yuze smiled: "I don't need to explain this. My second generation can do this. How could their generation care about their own gains and losses? As long as our country becomes more and more prosperous and powerful!"

Old Liu held the hand of the third child again: "Good boy, this time you were almost detained by them and refused to let you go. Talents like you are so rare. But considering many factors, maybe it is better for you to be there. This is the only way to play to your strengths.”

The third child also smiled and didn't say much.Then several people say goodbye.How can such a technology be sold to other companies for only a little money?But as a descendant of military reclamation, one has to do something for the country.

On the plane, Ye Yuze asked the third child what he planned to do next?
The third child pondered for a while, and then said decisively: "Aircraft engine. Ivan has a lot of ideas, and after this research, I also have some insights. I am going to develop a different aircraft engine."

Ye Yuze thought for a while: "You should go to Germany. I have a factory that is producing turbines and engine parts for Airbus. Maybe it will be of some help to you."

The third child nodded in agreement.He has already graduated from graduate school this year, so there is no need to waste time taking exams for a degree.It's better to put all your energy into your career.

Airbus is currently the only company in the world that can stand shoulder to shoulder with Boeing. Working in such a factory for a period of time is of great benefit to his own research.

Ye Yuze talked to old William and Luke on the phone, but Ye Yuze did not reveal the identity of the third child.The main reason is that after these years of development, the factories in Germany are no longer the same as before.

It has become a very famous manufacturing company in Germany and even in Europe.But the more such a company is, the more attention the government pays, so Ye Yuze basically doesn't go there.

After all, Ye Yuze's registered company is in the British Islands, and his name is British. It is almost impossible for anyone to find out that he is Chinese.

At present, Ye Yuze is already considering whether he should become a citizen of the United States?After all, it would be much more convenient to do things that way.

After thinking again and again, Ye Yuze decided to wait.Although the matter of naturalization is very simple for him, the hurdle in his heart is still a bit difficult to overcome.

Once the nationality is changed, it proves that you are no longer Chinese, no matter what skin color you have or what kind of blood you bleed.

Ye Yuze didn't go to see off the third child again, he flew to Hamburg by himself.Luke picked up the plane, and now Luke is also married and found a girl from Hamburg.
