"Electricity is not working at all. It is completely unable to unleash the mecha's mobility and powerful performance. Moreover, it might only be able to move slightly.”
" I see that the materials you need contain uranium," Qin Qian said in a deep voice." Could it be that you plan to build a nucle-powered mecha?"”
Qin Qian had just said that when someone said,""Nuclear power won't work either. The nuclear reactor is too big now, and the conversion efficiency is extremely low. It'll be good if it can even reach 10%. A small reactor can't support the mech to operate continuously.”
"Yes, I am!"
" The current nuclear power is basically used on submarines and aircraft carriers. Even fighter jets can't use it. It's too big. Otherwise, fighter jets would have used nuclear power long ago. They don't need to constantly refuel or add nuclear reaction materials. As long as the materials are resistant to high temperatures, they can fly for half a month without a problem.”
"If we don't use nuclear power, can we use other energy sources? However, other energy sources such as oil would not be able to sustain the mech. Furthermore, to operate such a large mech, the engine was also a huge problem.”
Everyone chattered non-stop, showing that their motivation could not be solved.
He quickly rejected the other people's proposals.
"If we don't solve the power problem, we can't get this mecha!”
"Also, I heard that Major General Chen has already created a plasma weapon. This plasma weapon also requires an energy supply. Ordinary energy sources are impossible.”
"Nuclear energy is still better, but nuclear energy…"
Qin Qian raised his hand and gestured." Everyone, quiet down first. I think since Major General Chen has proposed the concept of mecha and can even create plasma cannons, it's obvious that the problem of power can be solved.”
" The problem of power has also been solved?"
"Really?"
The group of old professors shouted.
Chen Luo nodded." Everyone, follow me to the research institute first.”
Qin Qian and the others suppressed the excitement in their hearts and followed Chen Luo to the ninth research institute of the military base.
The Ninth Research Institute was huge.
Especially the warehouse at the back, which was over a hundred meters tall. It was specially provided for Chen Luo to manufacture mecha.
Chen Luo snapped his fingers when he arrived at a meeting room.
"Heavenly Net!"
"Activate projection!"
"Yes, my master!"
As Skynet's voice fell, a huge holographic projection appeared in front of the conference hall.
Chen Luo pointed at the content on the projection."This is a reactor used by many countries around the world, even the Golden Eagle Empire, which is known for its advanced technology. To be honest, this type of nuclear reactor is too backward. It's not an exaggeration to say that it's outdated. The utilization rate of nuclear energy is only 10%. It's impossible to release a huge amount of energy like a nuclear weapon.”
"With our current technology, it's already very high if we can achieve 10%. This already represents the highest level of technology.”
Someone said helplessly.
Everyone wanted to improve their technology and increase the utilization rate of nuclear energy, but this thing was too difficult to control. If they were not careful, it would become nuclear fission or even fusion. That would be a small nuclear weapon. No one dared to mess around.
"Major General Chen has a way to solve the utilization problem?”
"Yes!"
Everyone was excited.
Chen Luo continued,"Not only that, the nuclear reactor I designed is not only ten times smaller than the conventional ones, but the nuclear energy utilization rate is also as high as 80%. If enough rare materials are used, it is possible to reach 95% or more.”
"I call this type of reactor a ring-shaped nuclear reactor.”
Chen Luo pointed at a new design that appeared on the projection.
Qin Qian and the others were speechless.
A reactor that was 20 times smaller?
Moreover, the highest utilization rate of nuclear energy could reach 95% and above?
Was that even possible?
"With such a high utilization rate, can there be any material that can withstand such extreme heat?”
"If we have that kind of super high-temperature material, we can actually increase the utilization rate of nuclear energy.”
"The key is the lack of materials that can withstand nuclear reactions.”
Chen Luo smiled."This ring-shaped nuclear reactor can be made from ordinary materials. It can be used at least 80%."”
"Really?"
Qin Qian's expression became abnormally serious.
"It's true."
Everyone was shocked.
Looking at the data on the projection, the so-called ring-shaped nuclear reactor was only a little bigger than a basketball.
"This is too small. Can it really be realized?”
"It's not a small problem. The energy that such a small reactor can provide is limited, right?”
"Something the size of a basketball can make a mecha perform the maneuvers in its imagination?”
The more they looked at it, the more shocked they became. However, they were even more suspicious that this thing was too small.
Mechs, on the other hand, weighed at least tens of tons.
Seeing that many people were skeptical, Chen Luo was not angry. It was normal for these scientists not to believe in technology that far surpassed the times. He explained,"Seniors, you can rest assured. Even if only one of these ring-shaped nuclear reactor is used, it can at least maintain the mecha's maximum power output for more than half an hour. If it's just a simple excitement, five hours is not a problem.”
"Moreover, it is impossible to install one on this kind of power source mecha. For example, the first generation of the Magical Crystal mech will be equipped with two reaction furnaces and output full power for an hour.”
"Good heavens!"
"One hour of full power output?"
" Major General Chen," Qin Qian asked in a deep voice," for the first generation of the Phantom Crystal, the power coming from the outside is 100%. If two ring-shaped nuclear power reactors are used, what is the maximum power?"”
"13000KW, the maximum thrust-to-weight ratio can reach 8.”
"You can fly?"
"Sure!"
"When I was building the mecha, I already considered this point. What kind of mecha is a mecha that can't fly?”
Chen Luo replied with a smile," Of course, mechas that are too large cannot fly. For example, the 80-meter-long mecha mentioned earlier. If you want to fly, this kind of ring-shaped nuclear power reactor is far from enough. Unless you have enough ring-shaped nuclear power reactors, such as 20 to 30, or design a large ring-shaped nuclear power reactor.”
As soon as these words were said, everyone was shocked until they were stunned on the spot.
"Mecha can fly?"
"Two ring-shaped nuclear power reactors can make the power reach 13000KW?”
"A thrust-to-weight ratio of 8?"
"The power of an aircraft carrier is only multiplied by ten. Can these two small things increase the power to such a terrifying level?”
"This is too terrifying!"
No one dared to believe it, because this was even more terrifying than neural connection technology.
It wasn't about the difficulty of implementation. To be honest, the neural connection technology was even more difficult to achieve.
However, when it came to motivation, these old professors were all a little uneasy.
If what Chen Luo said could be done, then…
The rise of Great Xia was unstoppable!
