Chapter 37 -37 Supersonic!

Editor: virtual group

At the moment when the maglev motor group floated in the air, everyone’s heart seemed to leap into their throat.

Keeping it relatively stationary in suspension was part of the plan and had been tested before.

The key was how to operate it stably while suspended!

In He Xingzhou’s hand was a smart controller, equivalent to the steering wheel that controlled the motor.

He pressed the forward gear, and the magnetic field of the maglev motor group experienced a slight change, which caused the maglev motor to start moving forward.

In the eyes of everyone, this “maglev car chassis” began to speed along the circular magnetic track. If it were a fuel car or electric car starting up, it would take at least a few seconds, but the startup of this maglev car chassis was nearly instantaneous the moment He Xingzhou pressed the controller!

“So fast in startup and acceleration!” Feng Yue exclaimed involuntarily, “I’ve been in the automotive industry for thirty years and have never seen anything like this—complete instantaneous startup and acceleration!”

He Xingzhou said, “No need for combustion, it’s naturally faster with electric currents, and it doesn’t have the bearing friction of wheels or the friction between the wheels and the ground, only air resistance. With human reaction speed, it’s instantaneous startup and acceleration!”

“Amazing!” Feng Yue said excitedly, “There’s not a single car like this in the world yet!”

The maglev motor group was still accelerating, and the speedometer showed that the speed had reached 300 m/s.

“Everyone, be careful, wear your earplugs! It’s about to go supersonic!” Guo Cheng reminded.

On the circular magnetic track, the car chassis with a simple airflow protection cover had almost turned into a blur, and people found it difficult to capture its image, only a residual shadow could be seen!

Once everyone had their earplugs on, He Xingzhou continued to accelerate, and the speed of the motor group gradually approached the speed of sound at standard atmospheric pressure of 340 m/s.

At that moment, its speed caught up with the sound waves produced by the friction between it and the air!

Sound waves superimposed together to form a shock wave. After surpassing the speed of sound, a conical sonic boom formed in front of it, sounding like an explosion!

This was the so-called sonic boom!

Even though everyone wore earplugs, they still felt the sound buzzing around them, as if their blood was vibrating!

Fortunately, the size of the maglev motor group being tested was not large, so the sonic boom it generated was limited. Otherwise, a strong sonic boom would damage the structure itself and the surrounding environment.

At this moment, everyone’s heads were buzzing, but their eyes revealed an indescribable joy and excitement!

“Supersonic speed!” If not for the sonic boom, they would have cheered aloud.

The maglev motor group had reached supersonic speed so effortlessly! Moreover, the detection instruments showed that its overall structure was stable, with no issues!

Since it was a test sample and only had a simple layer of airflow protection, He Xingzhou did not let it travel at supersonic speed for too long. After just twenty seconds, he slowed it down to a normal automotive speed.

Its deceleration was also achieved by a magnetic field, using electromagnetic brakes to slow it down, making it much more stable than conventional cars.

He Xingzhou also tested steering, turning, increasing the power of the motor to continue elevating the suspension height, and light-load practical operations.

Aside from some minor flaws, there were no major problems or omissions.

The technician next to him quickly recorded every test data and conclusion, analyzing them in real-time.

“After three rounds and a total of 104 small-item tests,” He Xingzhou announced the test conclusion. He said, “We preliminarily believe that all performances of the maglev motor group are basically qualified, meeting the design requirements and usage needs. It can be used as a mature technological product.”

When he finished speaking, the workshop erupted in applause.

“Great, the tests are passed!” an engineer shouted loudly.

“We’ve done it! The world’s first maglev car’s maglev motor group!”

“Suspension driving, supersonic speed, free control—the entire automotive industry is about to usher in a new era! An era that belongs to us!”

Feng Yue was even more overjoyed and laughed, “Today’s visit was truly worth it, I’ve witnessed everyone’s achievements with my own eyes!”

“This scene will be recorded in the history of Huaxia’s automotive industry, and from today, the entire automotive industry in Huaxia will undergo earth-shattering changes! The era of German cars, Japanese cars, American cars, and other foreign car companies monopolizing the market is about to end!”

“I hope our Electromagnetic Floating Car can appear on Huaxia’s land soon!” Guo Cheng was thrilled.

Before participating in the Xuanwu Plan, he had been working in this field for decades.

He knew the hardships and difficulties, and the hardest part was that no one knew when it would end.

But after joining the Xuanwu Plan, especially in the Tower Research Institute led by He Xingzhou, they succeeded in experimenting with the maglev motor group in such a short time.

At this moment, Guo Cheng even felt a bit dazed, *was this something they could actually achieve?*

“The completion of the maglev motor group is equivalent to completing the core component of the Electromagnetic Floating Car.” He Xingzhou was also in a good mood. He said, “As for the subsequent vehicle design, with your talents, it certainly won’t be a problem.”

“Haha, of course, it’s not a problem, we’ve already designed more than a dozen plans!”

“There are household small Electromagnetic Floating Cars, business models, and truck-carrying types. Once we perfect them, we’ll present them to Mr. He for review!” said an automotive engineer.

“Good,” He Xingzhou laughed, “In this way, the design of the Electromagnetic Floating Car has completed the two most important stages. Technologies like driverless and wireless charging now have a certain foundation.”

“We aim to bring the world’s first Electromagnetic Floating Car to life within two months!”

“Promise to complete the task!” Guo Cheng shouted loudly!

After completing the tests, Feng Yue wanted to invite He Xingzhou to stay for a grand feast.

He Xingzhou politely declined. He had too much to do, so he avoided such social events whenever he could.

That day, He Xingzhou flew back to Beijing.

“Sister Zhilan, I’ll have to trouble you with the video editing,” He Xingzhou said to Xu Zhilan.

Xu Zhilan giggled, “If you release this video, I’m afraid those entrepreneurs will go crazy. Won’t they all come knocking?”

“That’s exactly the effect I want,” He Xingzhou said. “Only with nationwide participation can we build a nationwide efficient logistics network. The logistics network is the foundation for building an iron wall and planetary fortress.”

“Alright, you rest well, leave these things to me,” Xu Zhilan said. She was not working alone, as the institute had expanded with increased funding, adding more members.

…

The next morning, Xu Zhilan sent the edited video to him.

But He Xingzhou did not rush to release it. It had only been a short time since the last video release, and releasing another would create a lot more work.

At this time, he also had to do another thing, go to the biochemical research team and check on the Zerg research, which could not be neglected.
