Chapter 1188

.

In the Hero's World, the virtual test of the armed drone had failed!

When the speed reached 055 kilometers per hour, the armed drone disintegrated as it could not withstand such a high speed. Through Izur's AI analysis, it was discovered that the first place where the armed drone disintegrated was actually the fuel compartment inside the hull.

"Little Li, what caused the internal disintegration?" Shi Lei still did not understand why the disintegration started from the inside of the hull.

Li Chai laughed and said, "Stone Head, the armed drone you tested was the mid-range version, right?"

In two days, Li Chai not only completed the design of the high-end version of the new energy source, but also the mid-range version. Li Chai had also designed the mid-range version.

"That's right!" Shi Lei said with certainty.

In fact, Shi Lei had always been leaning towards the mid-range version of the armed drone. If the mid-range version could meet his needs, Shi Lei would definitely choose the mid-range version.

"Stone Head, the mid-range version of the armed drone has a maximum design speed of 855 kilometers per hour. In your test, the speed exceeded 055 kilometers per hour, so it naturally disintegrated, "Li Chai explained.

Shi Lei immediately retorted, "That can't be, right? During the test, at a speed of 955 kilometers per hour, the mid-end version of the armed drone had no problem at all! "

Li Chai thought for a while and guessed Shi Lei's test results. "Stone Head, how long did you test at 955 kilometers per hour? It shouldn't be more than ten minutes, right? Also, when you tested it, you tested it in a straight line, right? You didn't do any difficult curve driving tests, right? By the way, Stone Head, when you test it, remember to add in the waves and sea breeze. These two factors have a great impact on the speed of the ship. "

Shi Lei coughed and said, "More or less!"

"Stone Head, as the designer of the mid-range version of the armed drone, I know the specifics very well. The maximum speed is only 855 kilometers per hour. Although you can push it up to 955 kilometers per hour without any problems for a short period of time, the performance of the hull will be greatly reduced. If there are strong winds and waves, the hull will collide with the waves and be destroyed directly. At the same time, when you test the curve driving performance at 955 kilometers per hour, the hull will also collapse directly like when it was at 055 kilometers per hour, "Li Chai explained the situation.

"Why?" Shi Lei asked for the reason.

Li Cai explained in detail, "Brother Stone, I've never liked the mid-range version of the armed unmanned patrol boat. That's because it has a design flaw. It's not because my design is wrong, but because of the limitations of the ship's structure and energy supply. The fuel compartment inside the hull had to be designed to be very large in order to ensure a super long distance voyage. However, once the fuel is filled fuel Fuel Liquid fuel, there will be no problem. Once a part of the fuel is used, there will be a certain amount of empty space in the fuel cabin. When the hull is shaking, the liquid fuel will flow and collide with the inside of the fuel cabin, resulting in some uncontrollable inertial force. "

Shi Lei imagined half a bottle of mineral water shaking up and down in his mind. He somewhat understood. "Little Li, you mean that the disintegration of the armed drone is caused by the fuel?"

"That's right! Stone Head, think about it. When the armed drone is moving forward by jumping, a large amount of liquid fuel will flow freely in the fuel cabin. The inertial force will be a heavy burden on the lightweight hull! "Li Chai answered affirmatively.

Shi Lei frowned. "Xiaolizi, do you mean that the mid-end version of the armed unmanned patrol boat can only sail within the designed safety speed limit so that it won't have the problem of disintegration?"

"In fact, it's not absolute! For the mid-range version of the armed drone design, I used a neutral plan to balance every factor. Whether it's speed, hull strength, range, or operating reliability, it's basically at a balanced level. But it's just a balanced level! If there's a storm, even a speed of 855 kilometers per hour is not absolutely safe. "Li Chai was not embarrassed at all.

It was as if the mid-range version of the armed drone was so mediocre that it did not come from him at all!

"F * ck, Little Li, do you have to be so conniving?" Shi Lei said a little gloomily. "Kid, you've made up your mind to only develop the high-end version of the armed drone right from the beginning, right?"

"Stone Head, don't talk nonsense! In your eyes, the mid-range version of the armed drone is not very good. If you leak the information to the Rongcheng Military District, they'll definitely rush to get it! "Li Chai boasted.

"Rush to get it?" Shi Lei snorted. "If it's not equipped with an operating control system, they won't want it! Little Li, the high-end version of the armed drone shouldn't be so conniving, right? "Shi Lei asked hopefully.

Li Chai nodded. "Don't worry! Stone Head, the high-end version of the armed drone will definitely reach the level you're satisfied with! I'm adjusting the production equipment and contacting the production materials. Stone Head, you can do a virtual test first. I can guarantee that if you're not satisfied with the high-end version of the armed drone, I'll … I'll … I'll treat you to a meal! "

"F * ck!" Shi Lei thought that Li Chai was going to say something evil, he did not expect him to treat him to a meal. "Okay, okay, Little Li, I hope it's as you boast. I'll test the high-end version of the armed drone first. You continue to deal with the production."

After hanging up the phone, Shi Lei and Izur used the information provided by Li Chai on the high-end version of the armed drone to create a virtual high-end version of the armed drone in the testing area of the Hero's World.

Shi Lei did not care about the energy consumption when conducting virtual tests in the Hero's World. Because whether it was the chemical fuel or the N780 metal, they were all just simulated data.

Izur simulated the data of the N780 metal and prepared to start testing the high-end version of the armed drone.

The first difference between the high-end version of the armed drone and the mid-range version was the material of the hull. The strength of the ship's hull material was higher, and it used a more complex integrated molding technology. Not only did the hull frame use the integrated molding technology, but the N780 metal storage inside the hull and the ultra-high speed multi-frequency current driver installation were all manufactured using integrated molding.

The biggest difference between the mid-range and high-end version of the armed drone was that the high-end version of the armed drone had a smaller hull. The mid-range version's hull was three meters long, while the high-end version was less than two meters long. At the same time, the high-end version of the armed drone had a much lower overall mass than the mid-range version.

The lower mass meant that with the same power, the lower mass would be faster!

According to Li Chai's design information, the high-end version of the armed drone had a safe design speed of five hundred kilometers per hour. Therefore, Shi Lei directly conducted a virtual test of five hundred kilometers per hour!

"Izur, continue the test at five hundred kilometers per hour for an hour. The test includes a straight line speed test and a curve driving test. After half an hour of the test, increase the height of the waves and increase the speed of the sea breeze. After forty-five minutes of the test, the waves must not be lower than twenty meters and the wind speed must not be lower than fifty meters per second! "Shi Lei listed out the strict test conditions.

Due to being criticized by Li Chai before, he did not participate in the curve driving test. How could Shi Lei forget this time? At the same time, waves of no less than twenty meters and a super typhoon with a wind speed of no less than fifty meters per second were simply a nightmare for maritime navigation!

“Yes，Sir！” Izur began the test. On the laptop screen, the high-end version of the armed drone gradually increased its speed.

Shi Lei quietly looked at the images on the laptop. Izur controlled the high-end version of the armed drone to dash in the ocean of the Hero's World, sometimes in a straight line, sometimes in a sudden change of direction, creating a large splash.

Half an hour passed, and the high-end version of the armed drone did not encounter any accidents. However, Shi Lei activated the wave mode, and the sea that was originally as calm as a pool of stagnant water gradually became turbulent.

As time passed, the waves became bigger and bigger, and the wind speed became faster!

After forty-five minutes, the waves on the sea were as high as six or seven stories high. If such stormy waves were to appear in a real ocean sailing environment, even a 65,555-ton ocean freighter would not be able to survive.

Not only were the waves of more than twenty meters terrifying, but the super typhoon with a speed of more than fifty meters per second could easily sweep away the crew on the deck. Fortunately, the hull of the armed drone used an enclosed design, and the entire hull was smooth, so it was not affected much by the typhoon. If it were a sailboat, it would have been swept up into the sky by the typhoon!

After a full hour of virtual testing, Shi Lei was indeed very satisfied with the high-end version of the armed drone. If the mid-range version of the armed drone was a mediocre product, then the high-end version of the armed drone was a mediocre product. Then, the high-end version of the armed drone was definitely an example of an all-rounder model.

Whether it was speed, maneuverability, hull strength, or overall performance, the high-end version of the armed drone was extremely powerful and seemed to have no weaknesses.

But the biggest weakness was that it needed to use new energy!

Shi Lei could not bear to use new energy!

"If the high-end version of the armed drone can reach this level, then the mid-range version should be able to reach this level as well! If there is a problem with the fuel compartment, then I'll integrate the fuel compartment into the integrated hull. This way, I can reduce the impact of the inertia of the fuel flow, right? "Shi Lei thought to himself.
