Chapter 536
At this time, in the power cabin of the Dragon-55 destroyer.
Yan Heping, the chief of the North Sea Theater, wearing a white navy uniform and carrying two general stars on his shoulders.
With a group of senior generals in the theater, under the nervous and expectant gaze.
When he saw Su Mo, who had been checking the hydrogen-oxygen water engine for half a day.
The originally frowned brows gradually relaxed, as if he had found a solution.
A warm smile suddenly appeared on Chief Yan’s originally solemn and majestic face:
“Comrade Su.”
“Have you found the problem?”
Hearing this.
Under the nervous and expectant gaze of Chief Yan, the generals on the scene, and the researchers of the North Sea Theater.
Su Mo did not give a direct answer to this question for the time being.
Instead, he pointed to the huge hydrogen-oxygen water engines and said thoughtfully:
“Hydrogen-oxygen water engines are very different from traditional fuel engines.”
“Its working principle is mainly divided into five parts: starting system, combustion system, cooling system, hydrogen-oxygen conversion system and water supply system.”
“So, we can eliminate the reasons why the engine cannot start from the root, which may only be the following points.”
“The first is the starting system. Is there a problem of air pipe leakage, resulting in insufficient air source pressure, so that the starter cannot work?”
“The second is the combustion system. Is there air in the pipeline? Is the combustion atomization qualified? Is the pump working normally?”
“During the combustion process, is there a problem of insufficient pressure? ? ”
“Is the debugging between the piston and the cylinder head qualified?”
“Is there any possibility of burning the tile, sticking the shaft, or pulling the cylinder?”
“The third is the intake and exhaust system. Is there any foreign matter in the air filter? Is the explosion-proof valve open? Is the valve timing corrected?”
After hearing Su Mo’s words, Zheng Zhiyuan, director of the Beihai Theater Research Institute, quickly replied:
“Commander Su.”
“We have carefully checked the reasons for the failure you mentioned.”
“But whether it is the starting device, the water-fuel system, or the intake and exhaust system and the combustion system.”
“After various strict inspections, no problems were found.”
When Zheng Zhiyuan said this, his tone was full of helplessness and shame.
As the director of the Beihai Theater Research Institute, a top mechanical engineering expert, and one of the leading figures in the scientific research community of Longguo.
With the structural drawings and core data in hand, there is no need to take any detours.
After working with the personnel of the Theater Research Institute for more than half a year, they found that they could not even start.
If it weren’t for the Beijing Theater, tanks equipped with hydrogen-oxygen water engines have been developed and mass-produced.
There is also the North Sea Theater, which has successfully developed a water-fueled frigate and officially tested it.
Zheng Zhiyuan even doubted whether the hydrogen-oxygen water engine was not suitable for use on warships?
After hearing Zheng Zhiyuan’s words, Su Mo nodded thoughtfully and said:
“If the above common faults can be completely eliminated.”
“Then it is very likely that there is a problem with the hydrogen-oxygen conversion device.”
“Water molecules cannot be decomposed into hydrogen and oxygen, so they cannot generate heat energy and water vapor, causing the engine to fail to start.”
“Or… there is a problem with the water supply system.”
“Because this water-fuel engine is filled with seawater.”
“And seawater will form a solidified salt state after being steamed at high temperature.”
“If the seawater in the pipeline forms crystal blockage, the seawater cannot enter the combustion chamber through the fuel injector nozzle, and the engine cannot start either.”
As he spoke, Su Mo waved his hand.
Ask the researchers waiting nearby to remove the shell of the hydrogen-oxygen conversion device.
Then they found a small four-cylinder water-fuel engine. After the test was successful, they removed the hydrogen-oxygen conversion device.
After a lot of busy work, they connected the two engines in series.
In this way.
This small four-cylinder water-fuel engine can be used to test whether there is a problem with the hydrogen-oxygen conversion device of the Dragon-55 destroyer water-fuel engine.
After seeing Su Mo’s operation, the researchers standing behind him widened their eyes instantly.
Zheng Zhiyuan, director of the North Sea Theater Research Institute, said in disbelief:
“Su… Chief Su.”
“Can it be done this way?”
“The power of the two machines is very different. Will it not damage the body?”
Zheng Zhiyuan and the researchers had already thought of Su Mo’s elimination method of using this series test.
But due to the hydrogen-oxygen conversion
Device, this new high-tech product is too strange.
In addition, the four water-fueled engines that power the Long-55 destroyer have a cost of 1 billion.
Zheng Zhiyuan, who has various concerns, is afraid that using traditional methods to eliminate problems will cause other damage to this expensive water-fueled engine.
Hearing this, Su Mo smiled calmly and explained:
“Connect the two water-fueled engines in series to test the hydrogen-oxygen conversion device.”
“It seems that the power of the two machines is very different and completely mismatched.”
“In fact, it is like connecting the fuel tank of a semi-trailer to the engine of a tractor to test whether the fuel in the tank can burn.”
“This operation will not cause any damage to the body in theory or practice.”
“And the hydrogen-oxygen water engine is not as precious and delicate as imagined.”
“During maintenance and use, don’t be too restrained and overprotect it.”
When Su Mo said this, he remembered the microcomputer class he took in school when he was a child in his previous life.
At that time, if you wanted to operate a big-headed computer in the school computer room, the teacher required you to wear shoe covers.
If you forgot to bring it, you would be punished by standing in the classroom and not allowed to enter, or you would have to run to other classes to borrow it.
You asked the teacher why you had to wear shoe covers?
Some teachers told you that it was to prevent static electricity and dust.
Some teachers told you that it was to prevent the computer from being infected with viruses.
And at that time, the computer rooms in the school were all hung with thick curtains, which were never opened all year round.
Only after wearing shoe covers in the dark could you sit in front of the big-headed computer.
When turning on the computer, you must turn on the screen first, and then the host.
When shutting down the computer, you are required to turn off the host first, and then the screen.
Under this mysterious ceremony.
Su Mo once thought that the big-headed computer in the computer room was a very sacred and precious thing.
Until later, computers became widely popular.
After Internet cafes were blooming everywhere, when people were surfing the Internet, cigarette ash bombs were everywhere around the keyboard.
Drink bottles, instant noodle boxes, betel nut residues were thrown next to the host, but the computer was not damaged!
To put it bluntly…
It was because I didn’t understand computers at that time.
That’s why I overprotected the computer, thinking it was precious.
Just like when the older generation of parents first came into contact with landline phones, they had to hang up after a while to let the phone rest, for fear of being tired.
In Su Mo’s opinion, the researchers in the East China Sea theater were facing the relatively unfamiliar hydrogen-oxygen water engine.
It was because of the excessive protection that they were cautious in the research and development and debugging process.
As a result, they couldn’t let go, and they never found the cause of the failure.
