Chapter 583 (1/2)

The small central control cabin, which holds nearly 20 people, is a little crowded. Even so, people still don't think it's small here.

As a space vehicle, here is only one of the six main compartments, which is already very large.

The control pod entry is a platform.

The platform has obvious mechanical structure. It seems that there is something hidden in it. There are various indicator lights, with a diameter of about one meter and five, as high as waist, embedded in the ground. Next to it is a control panel, which controls which compartment according to the partition and text mark of the button.

Other people found a relatively convenient position and watched Chen Mo walk by curiously.

”This is the power of the plane.”

Chen Mo presses a button to enter fingerprint and password information.

For a moment, the bright silver metal cover at the top of the platform spreads like a vortex fan, and a transparent glass column with thin legs rises slowly.

The two ends of the glass column are fixed by a complex mechanical structure, like the two ends of the battery, which are filled with transparent dark blue liquid. In the middle of the liquid, people can see a pale purple polyhedral crystal the size of an egg, which is fixed by a thumb thick and thin conduit, together with the two ends, similar to the battery.

And this kind of ”battery”, a total of eight, in a circular array in the platform.

”This is the energy battery.” Chen Mo said.

There's no need to hide. There are some things that should be announced when the space plane and the ion engine appear.

During the development of the space plane, he thought about the time when these technology exhibitions were in front of other people.

”Impossible.”

Several experts lost their voices almost at the same time.

How many goose egg sized crystals can power such a huge plane?

No way.

The existence of this kind of thing is beyond the scope of their current knowledge and cognition.

If Mr. Chen says that small fusion reactors provide energy, their reactions may not be that big. Because Chen Mo has successfully studied the controlled fusion, and it is technically feasible to miniaturize the controlled fusion reactor.

Now Chen Mo tells them that the crystal, which is not big enough to be a fist, is the energy for the ion engine.

It sounds too exaggerated, too incredible.

”Academician Chen, isn't that a joke?” Yang Wei obviously didn't believe it.

It's not that he suspects Chen Mo, it's that it's so incredible and completely subverts their perception.

This kind of thing, at present only exists in the movie, does not even have the theory of reason.

”It's a little magical.” Chen Mo didn't care about people's questioning eyes: ”but it's true that these” batteries ”are the energy of airplanes.”

”Crazy, crazy.”

It is hard for several experts to accept Chen Mo's determined words.

Here today, they refresh their world view. Whether it's an ion engine or any other technology, it's something that shouldn't be happening now.

He doubted whether Chen Mo was crazy or dreaming.

If there were such energy, what would the world look like? Human development will accelerate for decades.

”This is a kind of new element crystal with high energy transformation. It has specificity. Under the catalysis of strong light, it can radiate high-energy beta particles. The radiated particles increase with the increase of light intensity, so it can be used for controlled power generation.”

New elements?

All the people on the stage were silent.

The new element means that the knowledge of it is unknown.

No one thinks that their current periodic table of elements contains all elements of the universe. The universe is so large and there are so many unknown substances that they may not even recognize one percent of them. It is not surprising that there is a special element.

The people on the field are all scientific researchers, and they are quick to accept new things. Chen Mo's explanation slows people's excitement, but it's still full of doubts and disbelief.
