Chapter 1554 The Dream of Infinite Energy (Third update, please subscribe)
Of course the plane did not disappear.

When the strange-looking plane in the air adjusted its course, the plane's radar signal appeared again.

"How is this going?"

That day, engineers at the airport were fascinated by this strange phenomenon.

As the aircraft adjusts its flight attitude in the air, its radar signal sometimes becomes strong and sometimes disappears, sometimes becomes larger and sometimes becomes smaller.

Faced with such a result, everyone was stunned. After all, this was far beyond their understanding.

So a test flight that seemed to be just a research flight suddenly changed its nature at this time, and the issue shifted from the flight performance of the aircraft itself to why the aircraft disappeared from the radar?

"If he can be invisible to radar, then we have a true stealth aircraft."

Walter Horton said to Rimar Horton with some excitement:

"He will completely disappear into the sky and into the darkness."

As an aviation engineer, Walter certainly knew the meaning of "invisibility". Although this disappearance was just a disappearance on the radar screen, its significance was extraordinary.

It could even revolutionize air combat and change the course of war.

"Yes, it will disappear from the radar screen. It will disappear from the radar screen without a trace."

Rimar Horton agreed and said:

"Isn't the Defense Development Agency currently researching absorbing materials that can absorb radar signals?

Our aircraft...it doesn't use radar-absorbing materials. Why is it invisible?"

Walter Horton listened to his brother's question. He waited a moment, then said:

"It doesn't really disappear from the radar. Sometimes it still appears due to changes in its flight attitude. I think it may be related to its aerodynamic layout."

“We should be conducting research into this.”

Rimar Houghton says:
"We need to find out what's going on first."

The rest of the time became much simpler, and there was no need to even go up into the sky.

The aircraft was directly taken to the company's RCS test site for radar reflection characteristic testing. The final results showed that the frontal radar reflection area of ​​this experimental aircraft was only 2% of that of the F40 fighter, and its wingspan was nearly twice that of the F2 fighter, so this aircraft is the world's first aircraft to achieve radar stealth. To a certain extent, this is the world's first aircraft to achieve stealth through aerodynamic layout.

“You can literally disappear in mid-air.”

Rimar Horton said with some surprise that he had never thought that the aircraft they designed could reduce the aircraft's radar cross-section.

In the next few days, they continued to conduct radar tests. Just like the previous test flights, sometimes the aircraft would disappear from the radar due to changes in angle.

After several days of experiments, everyone agreed that the aircraft's stealth performance was an inherent advantage of the flying wing layout.

Soon their research results were reported to the Defense Development Agency.

"Stealth plane?"

Li Songjie, director of the Defense Development Agency, was filled with surprise when he read the report.

Although he is the director of the Defense Development Agency, Li Shengjie is not a soldier or a politician. He is a scientist who graduated from Tsinghua University in his early years and later went to the United States to study. During the war, he participated in weapons research for American companies.

Later, he joined the company and became a researcher. After the Defense Development Agency was established, he became the first head of the agency.

"Are you sure? Can he really become invisible in the air?"

The reason why Li Songjie was so surprised was that the Defense Development Agency has been committed to researching how to make aircraft stealth.

To be precise, it is to make the aircraft disappear from the radar screen, thus achieving the effect of stealth. For this purpose, they have specially developed various absorbing materials and have made some progress to a certain extent. Of course, those absorbing materials are fragile, and can even be described as delicate.

Almost no use value.

It is for this reason that when Ufimchev's paper entitled "Edge Wave Behavior in Physical Diffraction Theory" appeared, the aviation experts of the Defense Development Agency finally saw another possibility.

His paper points out that the reflection intensity of radar electromagnetic waves by an object has nothing to do with the size of the object, but is proportional to the edge layout.

Ufimchev explained how to calculate the radar reflectivity of an aircraft's surface and edges, and his theory showed that even a very large aircraft could still be designed to be "stealth."

After obtaining this theoretical basis, the Defense Development Agency, which was overjoyed, cooperated with the Nanyang Aerospace Industries Corporation to carry out relevant research.

And with the arrival of Ufimchev himself, his research results are destined to be carried forward.

At this moment, another invisible aircraft appeared before their eyes. Faced with such a surprise, everyone was naturally extremely shocked.

"Yes, at least to a certain extent, at some point he can disappear from the radar."

Finally, several engineers who participated in the experiment explained in detail the reasons why he disappeared from the radar, which were nothing more than angle and distance.

Listening to their introduction, Li Songjie said almost without hesitation:
"In that case, let's do further research. If we can create a truly stealth aircraft, it will definitely revolutionize air combat."

After thinking for a while, Li Songjie made another decision:
"The three current groups could conduct this research in parallel, taking care to integrate their findings."

"Director, isn't this too risky?"

His assistant Du Changsheng is also a scientist.

"After all, the stealth project is just a very insignificant project."

"That was in the past. Now that we have seen the dawn of hope, of course we must intensify our efforts."

With his decision, the stealth aircraft project has taken a more important position in the projects of the Defense Development Agency. As a department specializing in black technology research, many of his research is forward-looking.

After all, when the organization was first established, according to Li Yian's idea, he was a "SHIELD" to some extent. Therefore, he has been committed to exploring new concepts in national defense technology, sensing the potential needs of the military in the future, and engaging in forward-looking high-tech key technology research and development and "dangerous and difficult" scientific research tasks.

And the research they are conducting now is just a slightly more realistic study among the many exploratory studies conducted by the Defense Development Agency.

After all, among the research projects of the Defense Development Agency, there are many things that seem too sci-fi at first glance.

Just like the Star Wars program, many of those conceptual things that look like science fiction were proposed by the Defense Development Agency.

No one has ever explored the question - where do these concepts come from?
It's not that no one wants to explore it, but because it involves "national defense secrets." These four words are enough to stop everyone's curiosity.

Even Lee Song-jie, director of the Defense Development Agency, has never explored the sources of those technologies.

Just like now, facing the device in front of him, his eyes were also full of curiosity.

“Can it really achieve controlled nuclear fusion?”

In response to his question, Liang Zhenhua, a nuclear physicist, said:
"We'll find out today."

"Hope everything goes well."

Li Songjie looked at the huge ring-shaped device in front of him. Five years ago, he obtained a document about a method of achieving controlled nuclear fusion using magnetic confinement.

That information is theoretical. The center of nuclear fusion is a ring-shaped vacuum chamber with a coil wrapped around it. When the power is turned on, a huge spiral magnetic field will be generated inside the device, heating the plasma inside to a very high temperature to achieve the purpose of nuclear fusion.

Since then, the Defense Development Agency has collaborated with Nanyang University and several companies to start research in this field.

The giant experimental device in front of them is the result of their five years of research.

It took five years from simple basic theory and model sketches to the current entity.

"If we succeed, nuclear fusion will become the ultimate energy source for people. It can provide a steady supply of clean energy for human beings. It does not need to release carbon dioxide to the outside world during the power generation process. And it is not affected by seasonal temperature and climate."

Liang Zhenhua, a nuclear physicist, looked at the huge nuclear fusion device in front of him with his eyes full of anticipation. He was so excited that even his voice began to tremble.

"It will not only provide unlimited energy for human beings, but it will also revolutionize our space travel. With controlled nuclear fusion technology, we will be able to fly from Earth to Mars, or even to outer space, in just a few days."

When he said this, his eyes were full of longing for the future. It seemed that everything had already happened, and even the corners of his mouth rose involuntarily. It seemed that now, they had achieved success.

“It’s a bit exciting just to think about it, it’s almost like science fiction.”

Looking at his excited expression, Li Songjie said with a smile.

"It's not as far ahead as you think. I just think if we can achieve this goal, at least until our coal runs out, we will have a clean and safe energy source."

This is exactly what makes Li Songjie different from others. Compared with many people, he is more realistic. His realism lies in that he can see the practical significance of these studies.

Controlled nuclear fusion may be just icing on the cake for other countries. But for SEA, it is related to future survival, because this is not a place with very developed resources, even in Borneo, there are large open-pit anthracite mines. With the improvement of production and life, the demand for electricity is also increasing. This means more coal is needed.

It also means that sooner or later the coal here will be mined out. At that time, how to solve the impending energy crisis?

Therefore, what Li Songjie saw was the real need, and this was also the fundamental reason why he fully supported this project.

“That’s the purpose of all of us.”

Then, accompanied by the countdown of the experimenter, his experimental device called Tokamak nuclear fusion in another world began to operate...
