The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

Chapter 125 Extreme Speed ​​Flight II

at least twelve thousand today

The [-]-meter-high plane is pitch black, with smooth and round lines, like a huge cannonball with wings. The airspeed tube protruding forward from the sharp nose looks like the spine of a swordfish, shining with a cold light.

This is simply a work of art that combines the peak achievements of technology and industry, machinery and chemistry. Although it is almost the only one in the world, it is impossible to mass-produce it for many years, but it does not prevent a bunch of top aircraft masters from admiring it. and praise

A gust of wet and cold river wind hit, making the sweaty Wang Zhu and others tremble all over, and suddenly woke up from the intoxication. Looking at Zhu Bin again, he climbed the plane along the ladder, turned over and jumped into the cockpit to start the power supply. A few cold light lights on the nose and wings lighted up, and the high-energy battery pack that was originally used to drive the spaceship's protective force field with high power output stepped down. What a long 2000-degree high-temperature flame

Although it just stopped after spraying, Wang Zhu and the others suddenly felt the scorching heat of approaching the steelmaking furnace. They were so hot that they were sweating and their hair was curly.

Zhu Bin gave them a thumbs up gesture and started the three-blade propeller engine. The guy who was originally designed to burn gasoline suddenly injected highly gasified and expanded pure methane into the cylinder. The moment the spark plug ignited, a strong deflagration occurred, which was higher than gasoline. Methane fuel with twice the fuel value drives eighteen pistons to run wildly, and a roar immediately sweeps across the entire runway

On the instrument panel in front of the cockpit, the pointer representing the engine speed soared from zero to 2400 horsepower. Zhu Bin excitedly waved his fist and continued to increase the power. Watching the pointer continue to turn right until 3000 horsepower, it has exceeded the red line. The status display projected by the sensor to the holographic screen of his helmet works normally

The heavy plane could no longer stand still in place. It slid slowly along the runway, and after three to five seconds, it accelerated suddenly. The 2000-meter-long runway ran to the end in one breath and stopped slowly.

normal first ride

Wang Zhu and others chased after him in a car, waited for Zhu Bin to turn off the engine, and rushed to check and measure with the instrument. After 10 minutes, he turned his head and continued to taxi

After a full three or four hours of tossing around and experimenting with almost every power standard and hybrid propulsion method, the aircraft was surprisingly stable, no matter whether it was the engine, circuit, oil circuit, compressor, power supply or instrument, there was no problem.

Zhu Bin decided to go all out, even at the risk of ending the experiment as soon as possible.Under the repeated instructions of Wang Zhu and others, he rested for a while, restarted the aircraft, and when he slowly slid out for about 200 meters, he suddenly activated the magnetic fluid, and the nose of the aircraft suddenly lifted into the night sky like a sharp arrow.

Standing on the ground, Wang Zhu felt that the whole plane was like a festive sky-drilling monkey. The shining flames pushed the body straight at an eighty-degree steep angle, and the climbing speed was unbelievably high. I couldn't see it at all, I could only hear the sharp whistling passing by, floating back and forth in the sky, and Zhu Bin's excited cheers continuously came from the earphones

"Hanchen, take it easy, this is a new plane, at least dozens of tests are required to ensure overall stability."

Wang Zhu had seen through Zhu Bin's temperament. As long as he was allowed to fly the plane, he would not be obedient. In short, he would do whatever he wanted, and he would not stop until he brought out the extreme performance of the plane.Bold, skilled, skilled and experienced, he is certainly the best test pilot, but this way of playing is really a big test of the design and processing level.

Zhu Bin yelled on the radio nonchalantly: "Old Wang, don't worry, don't you know about the plane I designed myself? Every part has been tested, and there will be no problems. Wow, the speed has reached 700 kilometers, not bad. Good, come again, come again”

"700" Wang Zhu couldn't help shivering. He was both excited and worried, good guy. He didn't expect that this weird-looking plane could run so fast. It's unimaginable at such a speed.

Wang Xiaofeng also had a look of excitement, and murmured: "Hearing what he said, I haven't reached the limit yet. I really don't know how amazing the speed will be if I push it all out."

While talking, they heard a more high-pitched whistling from high in the sky, and a thunderous roar swept across the shipyard from east to west in an instant. It's almost winter, thunder?No, it was the plane that did it.

"Could it be that he has already broken through the sound barrier?" Several engineers know that when the flight speed exceeds the speed of sound at 340 meters per second, a sound barrier will be formed on the nose of the aircraft, and a sonic boom will be generated at the moment of breakthrough. , it might all fall apart

However, that kind of aircraft is still far away in their eyes, and it is almost impossible for a propeller aircraft. It was Zhu Bin who told them that if the number of cylinders of this aircraft were increased to 24 and the total power reached more than 2600 horsepower, it would be able to reach 00. With a flying speed of less than one kilometer, they were already worried about the strength of the airframe, but the problem is that when the ground taxied just now, it showed that it had reached 3000 horsepower, which exceeded their known material strength limit. According to the current metal materials used in the aviation industry, they cannot fly. How long does it take for the engine to die

Unless, as Zhu Bin said, the so-called ultra-pure iron-chromium alloy is really so strong and the airfoil cooling system inside is really so efficient

Leaving these things aside, what about a 00-horsepower engine pushing to a speed of [-] kilometers per hour, and adding four ports?

They guessed right, the crazy Zhu Bin really drove the plane to supersonic speed in an instant. Entering the combustion chamber, it is like the violent eruption of high explosives, which produces violent power, and instantly pushes the plane forward like a rocket. Even Zhu Bin, who is of the cosmic infantry level, is squeezed tightly Pressed against the seat and unable to move.

The data brought by the sensors all over the plane caused the warning to sound sharply and continuously, a dazzling red light flashed in the cabin, and the pointer instrument panel went straight to the bottom. Only his holographic screen displayed the data in just a few seconds, 1260 kilometers per hour

"What the hell is it not an airplane? It's a rocket!" Zhu Bin laughed loudly, and quickly lowered the power of the two engines, and the speed immediately dropped to 00 kilometers per hour, and then rose to an altitude of [-] meters for a short cruise at a constant speed , the groaning of the fuselage and the flashing of the warning light slowly stopped.

"It's still not strong enough. If all the parts are made according to the standard, it will definitely be able to achieve a higher speed."

After all, most of the parts are made by three-dimensional printers. The accuracy and precision of materials are unmatched by machine tools. But in terms of strength, they are not as good as those made by [-]-ton hydraulic presses and die forging machines. This is still done by the Germans. Made of aluminum alloy frame, otherwise it may fall apart just now

In this state, Zhu Bin is already very satisfied.With this guy, there will be no problem in going to the East Pacific Shipwreck in the future, and the time and concealment will be guaranteed.

Ten minutes later, the plane slowly landed on the runway. Wang Zhu and his gang trotted over. Regardless of the scorching heat from the thrusters behind them, they first helped Zhu Bin get out of the cockpit, and then checked the body again while it was still hot. , Record all kinds of data, ask about the posture feeling and so on.

Zhu Bin roughly reasoned it out, and said frankly: "This aircraft is not suitable for aerial combat, and its maneuverability and flexibility are insufficient. If the airframe is made of ordinary aluminum alloy, it will easily disintegrate. Therefore, as a high-altitude High-speed reconnaissance or horizontal bombing is still possible. The speed is indeed invincible, but it must be better than immature jet fighters. This can only be used as an experimental reference and has no mass production value.”

"That's it." Wang Zhu was a little regretful, and he let it go after thinking about it. As traditional aircraft designers, they care more about models that are guaranteed and supported by sufficient data, such as the airframe of a propeller aircraft, and Zhu The airframes of the jet planes that Bin casually showed them all conformed to the standards of bionics and aerodynamics, and were relatively easy to accept.No matter how you look at this guy in front of you, you don't feel at ease.

However, Zhu Bin's ability to drive around and create a short-lived supersonic speed at least shows that this thing is useful.

After dragging the plane back to the assembly workshop for further dismantling and inspection, Wang Zhu asked Zhu Bin, "What do you plan to name this plane?"

Zhu Bin thought for a while, and said: "The dark ones are called 'dark arrows', and they hurt people in the dark, hehe, I like it."

What kind of bad taste is this? Wang Zhu shook his head, swiped a pen on the thick cover of the summary data, wrote the word "Arrow in the Dark", and called several colleagues who had been tired for several days to go back and rest.

Zhu Bin squatted next to the plane and calculated carefully. If the plane is filled with methane, it can fly at the most economical speed, and at least it can fly a straight-line distance of [-] to [-] kilometers. This is still under the most ideal weather conditions. , then to reach the South Pacific Ocean, there needs to be an intermediate buffer and refueling platform.

But looking at the map, all the islands have been occupied by the big powers. It is impossible to blatantly build a transfer station, but...he suddenly remembered the German Zeppelin airship.

A rigid airship with a length of several hundred meters can be suspended in the air for a long time and build a sky fortress platform that will never land. If the shape is properly improved and the auxiliary engine is adjusted, it seems to be quite good as a runway in the air.

"It seems to be very useful to make a thing like this." Zhu Bin rubbed his chin and laughed.

A few days later, the German "Hebulou" company received an urgent order from Zhu Bin. Looking at the blueprints delivered by air, Hugo was designated as the manufacturer?Ekner was amazed immediately, and shouted: "God, there are people crazier than me!"
