From Propulsion City To Multiverse

The third idea.

This is also a technical solution that Wang Gao is most eager to complete—controllable nuclear power generation technology.

The research institute for this technology is not in the cloud environment, but in the seventh reserve of the Kingdom of Food.

The seventh reserve is located on an island deep in the windless zone of the East China Sea. The animals and plants here have undergone large-scale genetic mutations due to the long-term effects of nuclear radiation.

The research institute is located on the southwest coast of the island, where there is a shallow beach far away from the core area of ​​radioactive materials.

However, for safety reasons, the entire research institute uses a special raw material, which is N hydrogen particle material.

Radioactive materials harm organisms, the main source of rays is ionizing radiation and neutron irradiation. Although lead plates can block a large part of ionizing radiation, there are still certain shortcomings in the face of neutron irradiation.

N hydrogen is a pure neutron material, and it is also the most abundant neutron material in the mantle of blue sea stars, which is also the easiest neutron material currently available.

The protective layer formed by N hydrogen particles or sea floor stone (N sodium) can effectively shield ionizing radiation and neutron radiation.

Of course, the armed color (N-oxygen) masters can also defend against ionizing radiation and neutron exposure, that is, they need to maintain the full body coverage of the armed color for a long time, which is a very big test for physical strength.

Wang Gao used N hydrogen particles to mix some substances to create a transparent film covering the outer layer of the institute and the research area.

In addition, more than a dozen researchers engaged in research in this area have also carried out special training on armed color domineering, wearing special protective clothing and testing equipment on their bodies daily.

It is to avoid contamination with radioactive materials.

The radioactive material in the seventh protection zone is a potash vanadium uranium ore rich in a large amount of uranium. The total mineral reserves are about 730,000 tons, and the uranium content is about 0.73% to 0.92%.

If all are extracted, about 5,640 tons of uranium can be obtained, of which 235, which can be used as nuclear fuel, is about 7.6 tons.

Most of the rest is uranium-238, but uranium-238 is also very valuable because it can be transformed into another nuclear fuel-plutonium through neutron bombardment.

After watching the star-rated motors, storage batteries, etc., which are basically ready for application, Wang Gao went to the Nuclear Research Institute in the Seventh Reserve.

Regarding research in the nuclear field, even in the future kingdom, not many people are actually doing research.

In fact, in Wang Gao's view, scientific research in the future kingdom is largely "archaeological" research. Many technologies are the legacy of lunar civilization, or are derived, improved, and restored from their foundation.

Including the wisdom that Bergaponck claims to be 500 ahead of the world, in fact, it has a lot to do with the legacy of lunar civilization.

Of course, Begapunk's own wisdom is also very high.

There are not many relevant talents in the future kingdom, so Wang Gao can only train himself. The dozens of nuclear field researchers in the institute are all his students.

He came here through the shadow channel, and a crowd of students surrounded him happily.

"teacher."

One of them, a young man with a square face and black hair, said to him happily: "Teacher, the Zhurong No.1 we built, after these days of improvement, has successfully generated electricity."

Wang Gao looked at this most gifted student: "A Heng, how is the continued operation of Zhurong No. 1?"

"Teacher, this is a recent experiment record." Zhang Heng handed him the biocomputer, and then explained:

"We have improved the design of the first version, and now it can run safely for a long time, but there are no conditions for testing in combat conditions for the time being."

The technology of Zhurong No. 1 nuclear fission reactor, which has been improved many times, is indeed relatively mature.

When Wang Gao, Zhang Heng and others started their research, they were directly covering their entire body with armed colors and resisting nuclear radiation.

This is also one of the innate advantages of Blue Sea Star. The armed color can hardly resist nuclear radiation, leading to many seemingly dangerous operations that can be hardened by personnel.

For example, in the early reactors, the fuel rods need to be replaced, or the fuel rods are overheated and melted, all of which are manually removed by personnel.

If there is no armed color covering, even if it is a protective suit wearing a lead composite board, it is difficult to ensure safety in the core area of ​​the reactor.

The internal design of Zhurong No. 1 nuclear fission reactor consists of fuel rods containing 5.7% uranium-235, graphite slow-release nests, N-silicon thermal energy circulation pipelines, thermoelectric generators, emergency stop nests, radiators, and N-silicon-N-hydrogen composite protective layers. composition.

The reason why he chose 5.7% uranium-235 fuel rods instead of his previous life’s 4% uranium-235 fuel rods.

At the beginning, Wang Gao was also a bit empirical. He chose 4% fuel rods. As a result, the nuclear reaction was very slow and could not reach the expected heat output.

After re-adjusting the test, he found that the physical rules of the blue sea star are slightly different from the previous life. The optimal concentration of uranium-235 fuel rods should be maintained at about 5.7% to achieve high reaction efficiency and meet safety requirements.

And because of the possession of neutron material, there are many choices of materials for related parts and components in nuclear fission reactors.

The thermal energy circulation pipeline composed of N silicon is filled with N sodium particles as an intermediate medium for heat exchange.

The thermoelectric generator system, whose technology comes from the hot shells and energy-absorbing shells in the empty island shell, has a thermoelectric conversion efficiency of 72.3%.

Through the design of the secondary thermal energy circulation loop, the thermoelectric conversion efficiency can be increased to the limit of about 92.3%.

After reading the experimental test data, Wang Gao nodded: "Very good. The power generation of Zhurong No. 1 has reached 500 megawatts, and the volume meets the requirements."

"I estimate that after a few months of careful adjustment, it can be put into mass production." Zhang Heng is full of confidence in this.

The parameters of the Zhurong No. 1 nuclear fission reactor are approximately: 16 meters in length, 8 meters in width, and 8 meters in height.

With modular design, it looks like two metal cubes spliced ​​together.

For a large group of stars, the installation of 3 Zhurong No. 1s to form a maximum output power of 1500 megawatts is basically sufficient for use.

After all, Qunxing has a special technology that can generate anti-gravity airbags, and does not need to use low-efficiency chemical propulsion, and the utilization rate of electric energy will be much higher.

There are 3 Zhurong-1s, of which 1 is used as flight power, 1 is used as auxiliary power and backup, and 1 is used as energy supply for laser cannons.

The laser cannon technology is also derived from the laser shell in the sky shell.

The propellers and oars in the original design of Ark Proverbs, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com, were also cancelled by Wang Gao and switched to the kinetic energy engine derived from the platoon.

Kinetic energy engines use nuclear reactors to supply electrical energy and then convert the electrical energy into kinetic energy, but this requires a certain amount of liquid nitrogen to be stored as the working medium of the kinetic energy engine.

The hull size of the group stars, the approximate parameters are:

It has a length of 510 meters, a width of 90 meters, and a height of 120 meters, with a dead weight of 72,000 tons and a maximum load of 123,000 tons.

Equipped with three Zhurong No. 1 nuclear fission reactors, with a maximum output of 1,500 megawatts.

There are 8 laser cannons, 8 240mm naval guns, 30 30mm anti-aircraft guns, 4 240mm 8-tube rocket launchers, and bomb-type bombs. The ammunition is fully equipped with metal hydrogen (explosive rock) warheads.

The keel and shell of the battleship are made of high-strength composite materials, which are comparable in strength to the eternal rock used in the manufacture of historical text, and have the characteristics of memory alloy.

In the future, further upgrades will be considered, such as the addition of electromagnetic guns and missiles. The technology of these weapons is not yet fully mature before they are on board.
