Super Island Tycoon-Chapter 565 - 564 Instructions

This technical team can't help him much yet; they can only handle some simple tasks.

However, Jiang Cheng believes that it won't be long before these technical teams can play a huge role.

The new type of carrier rocket that Jiang Cheng is preparing to study is a challenging project for him.

Even traditional carrier rockets involve a vast project requiring knowledge in materials science, dynamics, mechanical manufacturing, and more—making it an extremely complex endeavor.

Generally speaking, the development of a rocket requires the concerted effort of at least a thousand technical personnel to have any hope of completing such a difficult task.

Not to mention, the rocket Jiang Cheng wants to develop is a completely new type of carrier rocket.

This rocket differs entirely from traditional rockets in terms of power and structure, with little connection to previous rockets.

The rocket research experience accumulated by the Flame Country is practically useless to Jiang Cheng now.

Jiang Cheng needs to start from scratch and refine the entire rocket technology.

The new type of carrier rocket uses a fusion reactor for propulsion, requiring a complete redesign of the rocket.

Previous rocket designs need to be completely overturned, with all aspects being researched by Jiang Cheng.

One could say that this new type of carrier rocket looks entirely different from before.

Without the need for fixed fuel, those massive boosters below the rocket can be completely eliminated.

So Jiang Cheng's upcoming tasks are still formidable, with much awaiting his research.

Fortunately, all the simple tasks have been delegated to his team; Jiang Cheng only needs to take time to guide them to get the final results.

This way, Jiang Cheng saves a lot of time, giving him more energy to focus on critical technological research.

Among these key core technologies, the most challenging issue is the propulsion problem.

Although the new rocket has chosen a new power source, changing the rocket's propulsion is not straightforward; there are many complex problems in between.

Rockets need to fly in the air, with nothing to leverage, so traditional power modes cannot be used.

Once the rocket exits the atmosphere, it has to fly in a vacuum, with nothing from the Zhou Country around.

Hence, rockets use solid fuel for power. After burning, solid fuel produces a great thrust that ejects from the rocket's nozzle.

The flame ejected from these nozzles creates a massive reactive force that propels the rocket into space.

This is an application of reactive force, completely different from general vehicles.

The propulsion method of traditional transport relies on external conditions for support.

Cars require ground to move, advancing through wheels.

Ships also require water to operate, with the propeller generating thrust in water.

Even planes fly in air; without air, planes cannot fly.

However, space provides nothing, so reactive force is the only means of movement.

The propulsion systems of traditional vehicles cannot be used on rockets.

This raises a significant problem: how to use the energy from a fusion reactor to propel a rocket.

While fusion reactors can provide immense energy, they cannot be directly used on rockets.

This is because fusion reactors supply energy in the form of electricity.

Using electric power in traditional vehicles is not difficult; electric motors have long been invented.

Jiang Cheng developed a sophisticated electric car, which is currently selling well.

However, applying electric power to rockets becomes a massive challenge.

You cannot simply attach a propeller or wheel to a rocket to propel it.

In space, none of these items function without a medium or atmosphere.

How to use electric power to propel a rocket in space is what Jiang Cheng must solve next.

Ultimately, this is an energy conversion problem: how to convert electrical energy into thrust that operates in a vacuum—a problem others might find unsolvable, but Jiang Cheng knows the solution.

Jiang Cheng knows of a new type of engine that can utilize electric power to generate sufficient thrust.

Moreover, this engine functions without any medium and can effectively produce propulsion in a vacuum.

This new type of engine is the tech culmination from Jiang Cheng's past life, where advanced civilizations spent a long time mastering it.

Jiang Cheng, staying in the lab, took over two months to successfully research this new type of engine.

The engine Jiang Cheng developed this time is called the "Bessley Engine." This engine employs an entirely different operation mode, making it usable in a vacuum.

The Bessley Engine only requires electrical power to work and needs no other aid.

The engine's performance is exceptionally good, with thrust reaching high levels, meeting the requirements for rocket launching—a near-perfect engine.

With the completion of the Bessley Engine, the new rocket started to take shape.

All other technologies align with ensuring the rocket is equipped with the Bessley Engine.

As long as the other parts of the new rocket are completed and can achieve synergy with the Bessley Engine, Jiang Cheng's goal will be smoothly

achieved.

However, the Bessley Engine is just the core, and there are still numerous technologies needing development, requiring a lot of Jiang Cheng's time.

After all, developing a carrier rocket is no easy task; merely solving the propulsion issue isn't enough.

Many issues still require Jiang Cheng's solution to fully send a rocket into space.

After completing the Bessley Engine, Jiang Cheng went to the Aerospace Technology Company.

During this period, he has been busy with his research without time to check on his team's situation.

Their research is also crucial, as without those technologies the new rocket cannot be completed.

Jiang Cheng stepped out of his lab and headed to the building where the Aerospace Technology Company is located.

He made several rounds in the building, inspecting the work of each research group.

After inspecting the research work of his team, Jiang Cheng was very satisfied with their progress.

The tasks he set before leaving were basically completed by the research groups, and they now need new research instructions from him.
