Electromagnetic engine.
This was an electric drive structure that Ye Qing had never seen before. It was not as simple as a traditional motor.
It had multiple powers and an extremely complex structure. It was divided into a core drive structure and a speed change structure. From the appearance of the drawing, it had nothing to do with the current level of technology.
It was more like an engine from future technology. Its electric drive structure was as complex as a turbofan engine core fan, composed of multiple layers. There were a total of four layers, and each layer was inlaid with multiple metal materials that could generate magnetic fields.
Four layers of different magnetic materials, under the action of electricity, produced an incomparably powerful magnetic field that drove the central spindle to rotate.
There was no need to look at the different magnetic material production technologies, just look at this spindle.
It was not something that could be played with by human industrial technology in the 21st century.
When engineers saw the word "spindle", the first thing that came to mind was a long and round piece of metal. A little more high-end would be a high-precision spindle processed by forging.
If it was not an oblong spindle …
There were. Among the special-shaped spindles, car engine crankshafts were the most typical. The crankshaft was the connecting mechanism for the engine's piston movement. Its shape was somewhat like a biscuit's weight, strung together one by one. What connected it was not a straight piece of metal, but an up-and-down round ingot structure.
However, the engine crankshaft was very simple to process. A forged alloy steel rod was placed on an automatic lathe to cut and process. There was not even a need for the five-axis center.
The spindle of the electromagnetic engine …
Ye Qing did not know how to describe it. Rather than a spindle, it was better to say that it was a work of art composed of magnetic field lines. These curves, which were strictly in accordance with the direction of the magnetic field, ran through the circular metal column, not crossing each other, but finally closed at both ends.
10 kilowatts, 100 kilowatts, 5,000 kilowatts, 10,000 kilowatts, 30,000 kilowatts …
All the way up to 200,000 kilowatts, with all kinds of power. At the same time, it had a much higher output power than the current level of motor technology. Compared to the same power, it was like the difference between an Alto and an Audi.
After pondering for a long time, Ye Qing turned to the black technology drawings of the sound absorption steel.
The reason why Ye Qing ignored the sound absorption steel before was very simple. First of all, the material was very expensive to manufacture, but its physical properties were very ordinary. There was almost no place for it in the civilian market.
If the super hard alloy was a physical defense, then the sound-absorbing steel was a magical defense.
It was useless in the civilian market, but in the military, it was no less important than the fourth generation stealth fighter jet stealth material.
The literal meaning of the information stated that it could absorb all electromagnetic waves. At present, the radars of human technology, whether it was synthetic aperture radar, passive phased array radar, or even the most advanced active phased array radar, all of them had to follow a core principle.
— Emit electromagnetic waves, receive the returned electromagnetic waves, and process and analyze the data.
If one wanted to receive electromagnetic waves, they would have to encounter an obstacle, causing the electromagnetic waves to collide and produce a reflection. There was no reflection, so naturally, no data was sent back.
The F22 fighter jet currently in service, as well as Hua Xia's newly commissioned J-20 stealth fighter jet, also followed the same principle as the sound-absorbing steel. Using technical means to absorb electromagnetic waves as much as possible and reduce the reflection area.
It was just that the current stealth material could not completely absorb electromagnetic waves. In close proximity, or within a certain electromagnetic wave with a specific frequency, the stealth fighter still had a high risk of being discovered and locked onto.
However, sound-absorbing steel was different. The fact that it could completely absorb electromagnetic waves was enough to prove that it was extraordinary.
Its wave absorption principle was also very different from the stealth material on the fighter jet.
The stealth fighter jet material used a special wave absorption material to weaken the radar waves. This material was very fragile. Usually, the fighter jet had to be replaced with a new stealth coating in less than two flights.
The sound-absorbing steel needed to be connected to a high-power power source. It was directly like a black hole, swallowing all electromagnetic waves of all frequencies.
The thermal airflow ejected by the stealth fighter jet and the engine could not be hidden. The giant ship that Monster Industries wanted to build was directly powered by electricity, and even the thermal radiation was hidden. It could also be actively controlled whether it entered stealth mode. When the power supply to the sound-absorbing steel was cut off and it was not invisible, it was an ordinary ship.
…
That night, in the factory at Dragon Creek Beach, a super-large factory built close to the sea entered working mode.
Originally, this was a semi-enclosed shipbuilding berth. In the beginning, most of the Giant God had been modified here. Now, more than 20 monster laborers were in the field. They built the shipbuilding berth into a completely enclosed area. On the other hand, they built a load pile foundation to carry the super-high-speed cargo ship on the plate-type platform.
Although Ye Qing had not yet obtained the reactor drawings of the USS Bush nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, and even the electromagnetic engine had not yet been manufactured. But this did not prevent Ye Qing from first reserving enough space in the ship on the drawings and building the hull first.
Once the plan to build a super cargo ship was issued, the monsters in the entire factory followed into full load work mode.
Metal experts prepared industrial materials for electromagnetic engines and sound-absorbing steel. Electronic messengers were responsible for the construction of electronic information for the entire ship. The Master Craftsman, on the other hand, kept refining the drawings, adding the most advanced mechanical automation equipment to this super giant ship. For example, installing a super-powerful magnetic generator could destroy the other party's electronic equipment in a directional manner.
"Boom ~ boom ~ boom ~"
There was a loud noise in the underground base. On the largest and most industrial-looking metal smelting center, the free forging hammer fell heavily. A cuboid steel was forcibly forged into a polygonal diamond shape. At the same time, it announced that the first piece of ship steel for the super giant ship had come off the line.
It was a piece of U-shaped alloy modular steel with multiple edges and corners, which was as large as a tank.
It was like a tank without a turret, which was the modular steel planned to be installed in the bow of the ship. The single weight was 130 tons, which was almost equivalent to the weight of two U.S. M1A2 main battle tanks.
Even the chief designer of Newport News Shipbuilding, who was responsible for producing U.S. nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, would fall into a blank shock when he saw this scene.
Because it...
Turned out to be solid.
The hulls of the 10,000-ton ships sailing in the ocean are usually two to three centimeters thick. The thickness of the hull steel of large countries' active warships fluctuates between five and ten centimeters. The bow position is usually thickened, but not more than twenty centimeters.
The modular steel in front of him was more than two meters thick, and some hard alloy steel technology mastered by Monster Industries was added.
As for why it was built so thick?
Because it was to be installed in the bow of the ship, a civilian ship, and there were no defensive weapons. Naturally, it was to be built beyond specifications. In this way, the "truth" would be harder when colliding with the ship.
The first piece of modular steel came off the line and was sent to the quenching pool by the huge mechanical claw.
The second piece of modular steel had also entered the forging platform. In the thunderous boom, the second piece was gradually hammered into a modular steel with slightly inclined edges. Its thickness reached hundreds of centimeters.
That night, the entire underground base was filled with the sound of thunder.
The thickness of the modular steel finally stabilized at twenty centimeters thick, which was the standard thickness of most of its hull.
Or a double-hull hull...
Ye Qing felt that since the nuclear reactor and the single electromagnetic engine with a maximum of 200,000 horsepower were combined together, the power overflowed seriously, so there was no need to care too much about the ship's own weight.
