Chapter 91 - Magnetic Confinement

While secondary pressurized propulsion technology is not as advanced as High-Speed Ion Propulsion Technology, it offers unparalleled advantages over traditional chemical fuel propulsion technology.

From a basic principle perspective, it is actually quite simple.

It first uses traditional chemical fuels as propellants, such as liquid hydrogen-liquid oxygen, or methane-liquid oxygen.

After these chemical fuels burn in the combustion chamber, their temperature and pressure increase sharply; this is what is called the first pressurization.

The traditional propulsion method is to directly spray out the high-temperature and high-pressure gas after it is generated, thereby obtaining thrust.

However, secondary pressurized propulsion technology, after the first combustion and pressurization, does not spray these gases out but introduces them into another chamber.

A nuclear fission reactor is located next to this chamber.
