Wind tunnel chamber.
Engineers assembled the new turbojet blades step by step.
This was also the first time that Shengge saw the true internal structure of a turbojet engine.
(To avoid suspicion, the turbofan engine will be referred to as turbojet in the following text)
It is mostly made up of spare parts, which is completely different from the various high-tech engines in our minds!
After seeing this, Shengge also understood the general idea.
On Blue Star, the more advanced the technology, the more it relies on precise material processing and complex mechanical principles.
This places extremely high demands on various equipment.
Otherwise, if one component fails, the entire system will lose its ability to work.
The new turbojet engine was quickly assembled and fixed on the huge steel frame.
There is a small glass window on each side of the wind tunnel chamber for observing the operation of the engine.
"Report to the Dean, everything is ready, we can start the experiment!"
"Okay, ignite the engine. For the first test, push the throttle to 50%!"
"Everyone, try to keep your mouth open to avoid damaging your eardrums!"
The upgraded turbojet engine slowly started up under the control of engineers.
Woo…Puff…
In an instant, an unbearable gust of wind blew up outside the wind tunnel!
Inside the wind tunnel, the roar of the huge engine is deafening.
If everyone hadn't been wearing communication headsets, I'm afraid the tops of their heads would have been blown off!
Immediately afterwards, various data appeared on the instruments in the data collection room.
"Reporting to the Dean, the new turbojet engine has reached a thrust of fifteen tons and is operating stably!"
"Fifteen tons?"
"This is 50 percent throttle!"
"Yes, the meter readings are correct!"
Mr. Qian was so happy that his mouth almost reached his ears.
"Excellent! Keep stepping on the accelerator and push it to 75 percent!"
puff……
As the throttle increased, the blue flame behind the turbojet tail suddenly became longer!
So much so that more than a dozen beautiful Mach rings are clearly visible!
"Reporting to the Dean, the thrust is 22.5 tons, and the operation is still stable!"
“Excellent, excellent!”
"Keep it running for 30 minutes. Let's test its resistance to high temperatures!"
"yes!"
After thirty seconds, the internal temperature of the engine gradually increases.
In the testing room, the reading on the meter did not stabilize until it reached 2,230 degrees.
Time passed minute by minute, and in the entire wind tunnel, apart from the roar of the engine, there was almost no other sound.
Everyone was breathing heavily, their mouths open, their eyes fixed on the instrument.
"Reporting to the Dean, the engine has been running for 27 minutes and is currently stable. There is no sign of damage to the turbojet blades!"
"Very good, target 30 minutes later, push the throttle to the floor, we'll test the engine's maximum thrust!"
"Yes, Dean!"
puff……
The extremely strong thrust caused the steel support under the engine to shake.
suddenly!
Snap!
A crisp sound was drowned out by the roar of the engine.
Immediately afterwards, the entire bracket gradually tilted backwards!
At this most critical moment, Mr. Qian shouted loudly.
"Oh no, stop the car, stop the car quickly!"
The highly nervous engineers also reacted immediately and successfully shut down the engine before the steel support was overturned.
After a series of shakes, the bracket fixing the engine finally stabilized!
Everyone was still frightened and breathed a sigh of relief!
"Phew... luckily I reacted quickly!"
"It almost caused a disaster!"
Faced with this accident, the engineers opened their mouths wide, and their facial expressions gradually turned into surprise!
"Dean, this support can withstand a force of 30 tons!"
"Doesn't that mean?"
“Look at the data!”
Mr. Qian's face was full of smiles, and he quickly moved towards the instrument panel.
Just a quick glance.
All data have exceeded the preset threshold!
"Xiao Li, what's the thrust of the engine on the Eagle Country's Bird fighter?"
Engineer Xiao Li swallowed his saliva. He was also shocked by the data displayed in front of him.
"Dean, the Eagle Nation's latest engine, with afterburner on, has a maximum thrust of less than twenty tons!"
Shengge looked at the clearly visible 32-ton thrust on the data panel and couldn't help but be shocked.
The engines used in Eagle Country's Bird fighter jets and Lightning vertical take-off and landing fighter jets today only have a thrust of about 18 to 20 tons.
In Longguo, the engine industry has been unable to make significant progress due to its manufacturing process and material strength.
This has led to the fact that Longguo's aero engines have always been a concern for people across the country.
This turbojet engine currently under testing has not only broken through various barriers, but has also achieved a far-reaching lead!
Looking at these people who are silently contributing to the country under the name of anonymous, Shengge couldn't help but feel awe!
It is true that in every field, there is always a group of pioneers who dedicate themselves!
“Re-secure the brackets, widen them, thicken them, we need to retest!”
Mr. Qian roared excitedly, and all the engineers grinned and went to work.
In the testing room.
Old Qian looked at Shengge and sighed earnestly.
"Shengge, all this is thanks to you!"
"Mr. Qian, you're too kind. This is all thanks to you and this group of lovely aerospace researchers!"
