Dr. Ma brought more than a dozen researchers and engineers from the Haiken Research Institute to the Electromagnetic Research Institute of Galaxy Technology.

"Welcome to Dr. Ma to come." Huang Haojie shook hands with Academician Ma with a smile.

"Don't be polite, heroes, I'm here to learn from the scriptures this time." Dr. Ma said with a smile.

"Come inside and please."

Huang Haojie and Dr. Ma and his group went to the Institute of Electromagnetics.

Galaxy Technology recently upgraded and transformed all laboratories.

The Institute of Materials Research Institute, Battery Research Institute, Superconductor Research Institute, Electromagnetic Research Institute, Electric Vehicle Research Institute, Motor Institute, Laser Research Institute, Wind Energy Research Institute, Solar Energy Research Institute Airship Research Institute.

And the Institute of Social Research, which is responsible for investigating the impact of cutting-edge market technology policies, is mainly used as a think tank for Huang Haojie.

In the large test field of the Electromagnetic Research Institute.

Dr. Ma is busy with a group of people. This time he is a magnetic crystal material used to experiment with Galaxy Technology, which is used for the effect of electromagnetic catapults.

The electromagnetic catapult is the latest generation of aircraft carrier-specific catapults developed by the navies of many countries such as Milijia John Kingdom and Dongtang.

At present, only the Milijia Navy publicly announced that it has been successfully developed and installed on the Ford-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier under construction.

The same principle as the magnetic levitation train, the electromagnetic catapult uses a linear motor as the source of power, which is the biggest difference from the traditional steam catapult.

The advantage of electromagnetic catapults is that they are safer and more reliable, because compared with steam catapults, the acceleration process is more uniform and the structural damage to the aircraft carrier is less.

Other advantages of electromagnetic catapults are lightweight equipment, moderate cost and low maintenance costs. On the contrary, compared with traditional catapults, electromagnetic catapults can actually eject heavier aircraft.

In addition, the system consumes less fresh water and is also more energy-saving.

Of course, since there are advantages, there must be disadvantages.

The disadvantage of electromagnetic catapults is that once the aircraft carrier's power system or nuclear reactor fails, the entire system will not work.

In addition, since the catapult requires a lot of electricity, the four generator sets that serve as their energy source will occupy considerable space.

The electromagnetic catapult consists of the guide rails of the power supply forced energy storage device and the pulse generator, as well as forced cooling and precise control systems.

"Dr. Ma, I think we can switch the forced energy storage device to Thor battery." Huang Haojie looked at the information brought by Dr. Ma and suddenly suggested.

Dr. Ma thought for a while and asked:

"But the power of electromagnetic catapults in this way is probably not enough. After all, four electromagnetic catapults require 16,000 kilowatts of power, and the battery is simply not enough to provide such huge amount of electricity in an instant."

Huang Haojie explained with a smile:

"No, if the magnetic crystal is plated on the pulse generator and the aircraft towing rod, I estimate that the power consumption can be reduced by 60 to 70.

That is to say, at this time, four electromagnetic catapults do not require 16,000 kilowatts of power, only about 5,600 kilowatts of power."

Bang! Dr. Ma immediately patted his hands and his eyes lit up.

"You are right. If you can really reduce the power consumption of 50 to 60, you can really use batteries as energy storage devices."

Dr. Ma quickly grabbed a draft paper and started calculating.

Assuming that the energy consumption of the electromagnetic catapult is reduced by 60 after magnetic crystal plating, the total power of the four electromagnetic catapults will be 6400 kilowatts.

Military Thor batteries are 500 watt-hours per kilogram, which requires 12,800 kilograms of Thor batteries, which is 12.8 tons of Thor batteries.

More than ten tons are just drizzling for warships, especially for the Air Mother who often has tens of thousands of tons.

"Let's give it a try now." Dr. Ma said excitedly.

After all, Huang Haojie’s proposal is very attractive. This is not only a matter of power reduction, but also a reduction in electricity consumption by half.

It would be fine if it was a nuclear-powered aviation mother, but non-nuclear-powered aviation mother was short-legged, and if the energy consumption of electromagnetic catapults was added, it would be even shorter.

How many nautical miles can the Liaodong ship be filled with fuel?

According to known public information: When the Liaodong is sailing at a speed of 18 knots, the maximum cruising distance can reach 7,000 nautical miles, which is about 13,000 kilometers.

If you drive at a high speed of 30 knots, the maximum cruising distance is only 3,850 nautical miles, about 7,000 kilometers.

So if you can save money, try to save as much as possible. After all, the air mama not only needs electricity on the electromagnetic catapult, but also requires electricity consumption in all aspects of the life of radar laser crew members.

Huang Haojie brought people from Galaxy Technology Electromagnetic Research Institute and followed Dr. Ma and others to make this improved version of the electromagnetic catapult.

The reason why he is so interested is mainly the electromagnetic catapult, which is actually the monkey version of the mass projector.

Or the pre-technology of mass projectors.

After being busy for more than half a month, with the support of Huang Haojie, Dr. Ma finally created the first improved version of the electromagnetic catapult.

The guide rail of this electromagnetic catapult is 135 meters long, the same length as the catapult at the Navy Training Base.

To facilitate testing, Huang Haojie also created five large stainless steel aircraft models with weights of 10 to 50 tons.

Because this is a reference to the electromagnetic catapult of the Milijia Ford aircraft carrier, the maximum catapult of the electromagnetic catapult of the USS Ford is 45 tons, and generally steam catapult is below 35 tons.

"Dr. Ma, let's start the test!"

"Okay, I've checked it all here, no problem."

Soon a model of about 10 tons was dragged onto the traction rod of the electromagnetic catapult.

"start!"

Whoosh

In an instant, the model was ejected by an electromagnetic catapult. Fortunately, Huang Haojie was ready to set up several layers of interception networks more than 100 meters away from the end of the catapult.

Dr. Ma looked at the speedometer beside him. It was obvious that the speed of the model just now exceeded the expected speed, reaching 112 meters per second. Obviously, this speed is not suitable.

After all, the ejection speed of an aircraft is not as fast as possible. If it is a drone, it is OK, but if there is a pilot's plane doing this, the pilot may be ruined.

Generally, when ejection takes off, the aircraft needs to accelerate from stationary to a speed of about 270 kilometers (75 meters per second) within a distance of less than 100 meters, with the help of the catapult. This process needs to be completed within 3 seconds. The pilot will withstand at least 4 g of acceleration (equivalent to 4 pressing on himself), and at the extreme case it can reach about 5.8 g.

"Reduce the power by 25."

After a while, the 10-ton model was once again hung on the aircraft towing rod.

Whoosh

"How is it?" Huang Haojie turned his head and asked.

"That's great. It's like a perfect electromagnetic catapult and magnetic crystal, it's like a complete transformation." Dr. Ma stared at the 79 meters per second on the speedometer with excitement.

Dr. Ma tested the electromagnetic catapult in the test field for three days in a row. After three days of intense testing, the improved electromagnetic catapult data finally appeared in front of everyone.

The catapult weight of the magnetic crystal electromagnetic catapult is 1 to 50 tons. Since the maximum model is only 50 tons, Dr. Ma estimated that the maximum catapult weight of this electromagnetic catapult should be about 60 tons after calculation.

The ejection speed is 60-224 meters per second, especially when ejecting a drone, the ejection speed can be increased as much as possible due to no concerns about factors affecting the human body.

The ejection interval between 30 and 180 seconds depends on the weight of the ejection.

However, the electricity consumption has been reduced by about 63.

With the use of Thor batteries as forced energy storage devices, the structure and technology have become simpler.

Compared with steam catapults that are often 500 to 100 tons, it is difficult to adjust the power. In addition, steam catapults not only have a long interval, but also if the steam catapults work continuously, the power and speed of the fifth bomb will drop significantly.

Obviously, this magnetic crystal electromagnetic catapult is already practical.

This is the power of materials. When materials meet the requirements, technology often becomes simple.
