After watching the ion engine laboratory, Wang Bin and sun Lao came to the atomic rocket engine laboratory. At the same time, the ongoing atomic rocket engine in this laboratory is actually one of the most valued projects by Wang Bin and sun Lao.


    After all, compared with the difficulties of ion engine, the difficulties of ion rocket engine are much smaller.


    At the same time, in terms of thrust, the maximum thrust of the atomic rocket engine of Tiangong technology can reach 60 kn, which is about 60 tons. Of course, compared with other engines, the self weight of the six ton atomic rocket engine they have completed now is also relatively large, reaching about 1.5 tons, In other words, this engine has not only about four to five thrusters, and its own volume is not small.


    The maximum diameter of the whole atomic engine has reached 1.5 meters, and the maximum length has reached about 3 meters, but its nozzle is not large, only about 15 cm. In fact, this is also the reason why the thrust of this engine is not large.


    Of course, if the engine is only based on the current situation, the use of such gravity and thrust is not very large, but Wang Bin is confident that with the continuous research and development of Tiangong technology in this field, the volume and weight of the engine will definitely decline rapidly, and its thrust will also increase significantly.


    In fact, this is also the reason why Wang Bin, sun Lao and others attach great importance to this engine.


    After all, compared with the traditional rocket engine, this atomic engine has too much advantage.


    In addition to using the fuel itself, the traditional rocket engine must also carry a large amount of oxidant or liquid oxygen, which is different from this atomic rocket engine. When this rocket engine works, it does not need oxidant or liquid oxygen. It only needs to provide power and fuel, and the power consumed by this engine is not much.


    For example, the 60 kilo cow engine they developed consumes less than 50 kilowatts of electricity per hour. At the same time, the fuel consumption is much smaller than that of traditional engines. The most important thing is.


    At the same time, the flame emitted by this engine is also very fast. According to calculation, the maximum speed can reach about 10% of the speed of light.


    It is precisely because this engine has so many advantages that Wang Bin and sun Lao pay so much attention to it.


    Although Tiangong technology''s atomic engine has developed the first middle school and 6000 cattle, Wang Bin and sun Lao are obviously not satisfied with this. Now they are carrying out more in-depth research and development on this engine, and the research and development of the next atomic engine has been carried out in an all-round way, and began to design drawings.


    And their next atomic engine, Wang Bin, their goal is to make its thrust reach 80 to 100 kn without increasing its own weight or even reducing its existing weight. Of course, it would be better if it could reach a higher thrust.


    However, when Wang Bin was excited to check the progress of various new rocket engine projects in the laboratory.


    Suddenly, Wang Bin''s cell phone rang.


    Hearing the voice of the mobile phone, Wang Bin was a little depressed, but he frowned, took out the mobile phone from his pocket, looked at it, and found that it was not someone else who called this time, but Qiu Shi of the military. He had no choice but to pick up the phone.


    After all, since Qiu Shi called, there must be something important to talk to him. Otherwise, Qiu Shi would not call him. After all, they are very busy these days.


    Not to mention the base next to Tiangong technology and the construction is about to be completed, they also have to make preparations for entering. At the same time, because more official aircraft manufacturing companies in China have obtained a large number of engines with excellent performance from Tiangong technology, they have launched a number of new aircraft one after another.


    Although these aircraft are basically improved from the existing models, and some manufacturers have designed new aircraft, they need to pay attention to and even provide professional test pilots for test flight, and then conduct various audits.


    Although Qiu teachers are very busy, Wang Bin knows that their mood at this time must be good.


    "Mr. Wang, something serious has happened!" just as Wang Bin answered the phone, Qiu Shina''s urgent voice came over the phone.


    Hearing Qiu Shi''s eager tone, Wang Bin immediately realized that this matter would be no small matter. At the same time, he also affirmed that this matter had something to do with Tiangong technology, so he immediately asked in a deep voice, "Qiu Shi! What''s the matter?"


    At the same time, in his heart, the ominous premonition was more important. Otherwise, Qiu Shi''s tone would not be like this.


    After all, accidents in the near future are basically very serious compared with accidents in other aspects, such as cars.


    At the slightest, the aircraft is damaged, and the maintenance costs are basically calculated in millions. As for serious cases, it is very likely to cause aircraft damage and human death.


    Did the plane equipped with their Tiangong technology engine have an accident? Wang Bin thought to himself.


    The voice from the phone confirmed Wang Bin''s conjecture.


    "Mr. Wang! Just a few minutes ago, a new model 6 with your Tiangong technology tg-wsx1 engine installed in a base in Northwest China crashed. Fortunately, the crew successfully ejected and did not cause casualties.


    As for the cause of the crash, according to the flight data and the pilot''s description, it was because the engine stopped in the air and ignited several times, but failed to restart the engine! "Qiu Shishen said.


    "What!" Wang Bin''s heart was shocked, and then he was immediately moved by great pressure and responsibility.


    Now Tiangong technology, as an aeroengine and aircraft manufacturer, is absolutely duty bound to stop the engine in the air.


    At the same time, his heart is also doubtful, because each engine designed by Tiangong technology attaches great importance to its performance, especially in terms of engine safety. After all, aeroengines are no better than engines of other vehicles. Once there is an accident in the air, it is definitely a big thing, and even aircraft damage and human death may occur.


    You know, the flight altitude of general aircraft can reach thousands or even tens of thousands of meters, and the speed of the aircraft is also very fast. Once the engine fails to work, the consequences can be imagined.


    At this time, Wang Bin''s heart was also heavy, but fortunately, the accident only caused the crash of the plane, and there were no casualties. This is definitely a great luck in misfortune.


    "Master Qiu, what''s the specific situation? Can you tell me?" Wang Bin asked.
