Chapter 1290

.

Shuanghu District, back streets.

Li Chai and Tao Wenxian were at the breakfast bun shop. After resolving their conflict, Shi Lei let out a sigh of relief. If these two fellows were to start a fight, Shi Lei really didn't know who to help.

The three of them went to Cui Hu Building. In Li Chai's temporary R&D and manufacturing center, Shi Lei checked the progress of the LCA Glory Fighter Jet.

After half a year, the miniaturization of the LCA Glory Fighter Jet had not been completed.

"Little Li, how's the progress of the LCA Glory Fighter Jet?" Shi Lei casually picked up a document from the workbench and asked as he flipped through it. His attention was focused on Li Cai and not the document in his hands.

Li Chai smiled bitterly, "Stone Head, I'm afraid there's a problem!"

"What problem?" Shi Lei did not understand.

"The same old problem!" Li Chai was flipping through the documents on the workbench. Suddenly, he slapped his forehead, "Izur, project the LCA Glory Fighter Jet into our LIP Lens Information Processor!"

Originally, Li Chai wanted to find a paper version of the design, but he was influenced by Shi Lei's actions. Shi Lei picked up a paper version of the document on the workbench and subconsciously influenced Li Chai.

"Okay, Mr. Li." Because it was Li Chai who ordered, Izur's voice was that of a middle-aged man.

The three of them were wearing the LIP Lens Information Processor. On the virtual screen, the information sent by Izur was displayed.

"Little Li, is there still a problem with the turbo engine?" Shi Lei asked.

"That's right!" Li Chai nodded affirmatively. "Currently, the miniaturization of the LCA Glory Fighter Jet has been completed. However, what kind of engine should we choose for the LCA Glory Fighter Jet is still a big problem. "Li Chai explained.

Shi Lei was puzzled. "Isn't it a micro turbine engine?"

Turbine engines were the first choice for modern aircraft. Be it civil airliners or military aircraft, they all used turbine engines. At present, the most advanced fighter jets, even if they used vector engines, were essentially turbo engines.

Li Chai frowned and said, "Stone Head, the turbine engine has many flaws!"

"For example?" Shi Lei did not know much about mechanical design. He did not understand why the whole world had chosen the turbine engine, but Li Chai felt that the turbine engine had a flaw.

Could it be that all the scientists in the world were not as good as Li Chai?

"The simplest problem is that if we use the turbo engine technology, our LCA Glory fighter will have a very loud noise!" Li Chai pointed out one of the flaws.

Thinking back, when he was on a plane, when the plane started, the roar of the turbine engine was deafening even through the cabin.

Shi Lei shrugged. "Are all turbine engines like this?"

Li Chai sighed. "Alright! Since this flaw cannot be counted as a flaw, then the second flaw is that the LCA Glory fighter jet that uses the turbine engine technology, whether it is taking off or landing, needs the support of a runway! After all, we have not mastered the vector engine technology, so it is impossible to achieve vertical take-off and vertical landing. "

"Oh right, the LCA Glory fighter jet that uses the turbine engine technology also cannot float in the air! It must maintain a high flying state at all times, otherwise it will fall! "Li Chai added.

"Alright!" Shi Lei stared at Li Chai. "Little Li Chai, you have said so much. It seems that you have a solution?"

"Yes!" Li Chai nodded affirmatively. "Stone Head, do you know about the plasma engine? It is a type of engine used in ion propulsion systems. "

Shi Lei said helplessly, "Little Li Chai, don't show off your knowledge!"

Tao Wenxian interrupted. "I know! But brother Li Chai, isn't the plasma engine usually installed in space? "

The plasma engine technology had been developed as early as 6415, but the field of application was very narrow. As Tao Wenxian said, the plasma engine technology was usually used for interstellar travel in outer space.

"Yes! Jazz, you are right! "Li Chai confirmed Tao Wenxian's words.

Shi Lei's eyes lit up. "Used in outer space? Is the plasma engine very powerful? "Shi Lei's tone was full of anticipation.

Tao Wenxian shook his head regretfully. "It is the opposite! Stone Head, I have to tell you regretfully that the plasma engine is not very powerful! The plasma engine is used in outer space because the thrust of the plasma engine is very small, so it is suitable for use in the weightless environment of outer space. "

Li Chai said, "That's right! The thrust of the plasma engine is very small. The thrust of the plasma engine made with the most advanced technology is only about the same as the pressure of a piece of A9 paper in the palm of your hand. "

Shi Lei sighed. "What's the use of such a small thrust?"

Li Chai had a mysterious smile on his face. "Stone Head, that is only the most advanced technology at present! If we use … cough cough! "At this point, Li Cai glanced at Tao Wenxian with a questioning look in his eyes.

Shi Lei nodded. "It's okay! Jazz is our closest brother! "

Li Chai smiled apologetically at Tao Wenxian. "I'm sorry, Jazz. This is a serious matter. We have to be careful! We are discussing the problem of a new energy source! "

Tao Wenxian was stunned. "A new energy source?"

"Yes! A new type of ore that can be directly converted into electricity through special equipment! " Li Chai gave a rough explanation, then continued, "Stone Head, if we use the plasma engine, not only can we solve the problem of noise, hovering in the air, vertical take-off and landing, all of these can be solved!"

"Since it is so good, then let's use it!" Shi Lei did not understand Li Chai's meaning. Could it be a problem of cost?

If it was a problem of cost, Shi Lei did not care about it at all!

Six second-generation The First Light spent 675 million US dollars just to modify the receiver of the neutrino communication equipment. Shi Lei did not bat an eyelid at such a huge amount of money!

Li Chai smiled bitterly. "Stone Head, we don't have the relevant technology! As for the plasma engine technology, although the principle is simple, there is no in-depth research information at all. If we want to develop a high-thrust plasma engine, we need information on the ion thruster propulsion system! "

"Xiao Li, where can we get the information?" Shi Lei asked directly. Li Chai wanted to express that he wanted Shi Lei to find a way to get the information.

Before Li Chai could speak, Tao Wenxian beat him to it. "NASA!"

"Lijian Province's National Aeronautics and Space Administration?" Shi Lei's face darkened as he asked helplessly.

"That's right! Stone Head, we already said that the plasma engine is used in the space environment, so naturally it is stored in NASA! "Tao Wenxian said matter-of-factly.

Shi Lei sighed. "If it is stored in NASA, I'm afraid we can't get it for the time being."

Tao Wenxian was surprised. "Stone Head, why can't we get it?"

In fact, whether it was Shi Lei or Tao Wenxian, they could easily break into NASA's intranet. However, to find the plasma engine in NASA's intranet was definitely not an easy task!

Stealing information and hacking were two completely different things!

If it was just to hack into NASA's intranet and take a look at the information without copying or downloading it, Shi Lei would do it without hesitation!

Because this job was very simple. Hack into NASA's intranet, then find the target, take a look, and leave. With Shi Lei's technology, he would not be discovered by NASA's network security experts at all.

However, the technology of the plasma engine could not be described clearly in a few words, right? Did they have to read the technical information page by page and take pictures?

That was definitely not realistic!

The simplest way to get the information of the plasma engine was to directly copy and download it from NASA's intranet and steal a copy.

However, this was very difficult to do. In particular, Shi Lei did not want to be discovered by NASA's network security experts. This increased the difficulty of the task by an order of magnitude.

After Shi Lei explained the reason in detail, Tao Wenxian frowned. "If we want to steal information from NASA and not let NASA find out, this is indeed a bit difficult! Stone Head, I don't understand. If NASA finds out, so be it. We just have to get rid of NASA's tracking! "

"Now is not a good time! AP has just left the stage. If we stir up trouble and AP catches on to us, we will be in big trouble. Moreover, during this special period, we have to guard against the appearance of DARPA. So, the enemy we have to face is not only NASA, but also AP and DARPA. Do you understand? "Shi Lei said patiently.

Tao Wenxian patted his chest. "Oh my! There are so many enemies! Brother Li Chai, let's talk about the plasma engine technology next time! "

Although Li Chai did not understand computer technology, Li Chai had chosen to study computer science. How could he not know about NASA's prestige?

"Okay! In that case, the miniaturized LCA Glory fighter can only use the turbo-engine version! "Li Chai said rather helplessly.

However, Li Chai laughed a few times. "Since we're going to use turbo-engine technology, we'll use vector engine technology!"

"We don't have vector engine technology, do we?" Shi Lei remembered. He also knew that vector engine technology was the most cutting-edge technology in the world. The difficulty of obtaining vector engine technology was no less than the difficulty of obtaining plasma engine technology.

"Stone Head, have you forgotten? I have a trick up my sleeve! "Li Chai said proudly.

Shi Lei suddenly frowned and put his right index finger in front of his lips. "Shhh!"

Li Chai and Tao Wenxian fell silent at the same time. Shi Lei then said, "Good morning, Commander He!"

"Hmph! You sneaked back to Shuangqing City so early in the morning! " He Zhenbang's tone was teasing, but he was not angry. "Shi Lei, I have a piece of news for you, I don't know if it's good or bad news!"
