Chapter 830: Technological Improvements
The Miyako Strait Coast Guard responded quickly.
Due to the sensitive location of the Miyako Strait, after receiving the warning from the Hayakawa patrol ship, the headquarters dispatched two BK117 multi-purpose helicopters within 10 minutes to the abnormal target sea area in front.
The main purpose of the two helicopters is search and rescue, so they carry quite complete maritime search equipment.
Among them, there is the infrared search system at night.
The system can automatically search for infrared signatures on the surface of the ship above the sea temperature within two square nautical miles below the helicopter, especially when the ship is under sail, and the heat generated by the internal combustion engine is the most conspicuous.
A few hours later, two helicopters flew to the area where the anomalous target was located, and searched for the target 50 nautical miles below the sea surface.
As for the search results......
At the same time, the Hayakawa patrol ship was nervously tracking the illegal fishing boat at maximum speed.
More than an hour had passed, and if it had been daylight, the Hayakawa would have been able to see the illegal fishing boat at full capacity. It was a large fishing vessel with its own ice storage and tail slipway, but even at night, Hayakawa was able to lock on to it with radar.
"If there is an unknown ship ahead, please stop the ship immediately for inspection, we are the Coast Guard, please stop the ship immediately for inspection......"
"Unidentified ship ahead ......"
In the public radio channel, the Hayakawa patrol ship kept shouting at the fishing boat, and at this time, the distance between the two ships was less than three nautical miles, and the people of both boats could faintly see the lights on the other boat.
There was silence in the channel, and if it weren't for the fact that the illegal fishing boat suddenly increased its power to change course, the people on the Hayakawa might have suspected that the ship didn't even have a radio installed.
……
In the vast sea, there is not only one patrol boat, but also an illegal fishing boat. Five nautical miles behind the patrol ship, there was a large, hideous steel giant ship that was staring at the Hayakawa indifferently.
"It's really a surprise, I originally just wanted to test the power system of the Humpback Whale, who wanted to test the sound-absorbing steel by the way. In the cockpit of the humpback whale, whose speed had dropped to thirty-three knots, Ye Qing sipped his lips while sipping fragrant tea: "It's a pity that this is not the open sea, otherwise we can test the electromagnetic interference equipment by the way." ”
"Then boss, let's try it?" Master Ingenuity stood next to Ye Qing, he looked at the picture of the Hayakawa outside the porthole glass that was magnified by high magnification, and said eagerly: "As soon as the jamming equipment is turned on, all the electronic equipment of that ship will fail, and they will never know what is going on." ”
"No, once the electronic equipment on that patrol ship is destroyed by us, their headquarters will inevitably send a large number of ships and planes to search for the ship in a short period of time after they lose contact with the ship. ”
"There will be a chance to experiment in the future. ”
Ye Qing put down the cup and waved his hand at the delicate master.
Today, I was lucky enough to come across a patrol ship, and there was no need to make any more troubles. Moreover, when the "stealth mode" of the sound-absorbing steel is turned on, the humpback whale must temporarily cut off all external signal communication. This state of temporary loss of contact made Ye Qing very unaccustomed to it.
Fortunately, the stealth mode is indeed invincible, absorbing all electromagnetic wave signals, so that they can't contact the defect, not to mention at all.
The patrol ship in front of me should be one of the most advanced patrol ships in the Security Agency, and now the humpback whale is five nautical miles away, and it has been tracking for 40 minutes, and the patrol ship is still chasing the fishing boat with all its might. If it was in wartime, ten such patrol ships also sank.
……
Five minutes later, the patrol ship launched warning fire on the suspected illegal Japanese fishing boat.
Ye Qing also signaled the metal expert operating the Humpback Whale to turn around and sail away from this sea area.
Five o'clock in the morning.
The humpback whale turned back into the territorial waters of Zhongyun City.
The humpback whale's tests were a complete success, and during the eight-hour full sailing time, it performed very consistently in both the nuclear reactor and the ultra-supercritical unit, as well as the electromagnetic engine. At the same time, during the test, Ye Qing and the monsters also developed a new nuclear reactor "start-stop" scheme.
Strictly speaking, once a nuclear reactor has entered the chain reaction phase, it cannot be suspended unless the fuel rods are depleted.
Whether it's a commercial power reactor or a marine nuclear reactor, technicians can only delay the reaction by injecting graphite rods to absorb the neutrons released by the reactor.
Naturally, the Humpback Whale's reactor also has this device, but the excessive number of injections of graphite rods will affect the stability of the entire reactor system. It is impossible for a supercritical unit to operate continuously for a long time, and it needs to be shut down for maintenance on a regular basis.
When the humpback whale entered the Zhongyun Sea, Ye Qing also asked the monsters to reduce the power output by injecting graphite rods.
The test was naturally very successful, and Ye Qing also thought of a "moratorium" scheme in the test that the principle is not complicated, but the nuclear-powered ships of various countries cannot do.
A nuclear reactor is like a boiler that never stops burning, with primary and secondary circuits cooling water, always being heated. Even if the fire power of the "boiler" is reduced, the secondary circuit water will still produce steam, driving the generator set to run at low power.
Ye Qing and the monsters plan to add an independent seawater cooling system to the secondary circuit water. Another watertight compartment was retrofitted into a tank that could circulate seawater, and silver-copper alloy heat dissipation blades were installed in the compartment.
The ultra-supercritical steam circulates in the sealed pipe and flows through the silver-copper alloy heat dissipation blades, so that the high-temperature heat generated by the secondary circuit water can be naturally absorbed through the seawater and become condensate to re-participate in the reactor circulation.
Without high-pressure and high-temperature steam, ultra-supercritical units naturally stop when they want to. The reactor is still operating stably, and there is no need to introduce interfering graphite rods to interfere with the core chain reaction.
It sounds simple, but it involves a range of technologies that are no less than adding a third circuit to a reactor's traditional two-circuit cooling water system.
Originally, the double circuit was complex enough, and the operation made the maintenance technicians frightened, how dare they add another one.
But the monsters dare.
In all industrial accidents in the world, the proportion of accidents caused by personnel operation errors, or in order to save trouble, does not follow the rules and regulations, and the proportion of accidents caused by accidents accounts for 99% of all accidents.
In the case of the monsters, this ninety-nine percent does not exist.
Following.
The Humpback Whale re-entered the sealed slipway for upgrades, which took only three days.
Two days have passed since the new product launch held by Behemoth Industries, and the lively scene at the entrance of Behemoth Industries is no longer there, and the multi-Chinese welcome banners on the main road in front have also been taken down. When the citizens pass by here again, it is as if they have watched a wonderful movie, and they feel that their steps will not stop.
They don't know what kind of impact this press conference held by Behemoth Industries has caused to various countries.
However, the ground staff of Zhongyun Airport know that 41 special planes will fly to Zhongyun Airport from all over the world today.
In the flight plans reported in advance, these airports without exception have a description of the purpose of transporting the industrial equipment related to the giant beast industry.
From the arrival of three Airbus A300-600F all-cargo aircraft in the United Kingdom at 7 a.m. to the last Boeing 747 cargo in Dubai in the evening, the entire airport parking area was full. They're all here for liquid printers, and bio-cellulose materials.
The planes were accompanied by negotiators from various countries, who were trying to extract more expansion from the Behemoth industry at a smaller market cost. Of course, there is nothing to do with Latin American countries and desert countries.
The negotiators were all EU member states, as well as the United Kingdom, which was in the process of leaving the European Union.
The giant beast industry has also organized a huge business negotiation team, and when Ye Qing held a meeting before, he also analyzed several points that may arise in this negotiation.
For example, most of the European side will strictly adhere to the market power of ionization purifiers, because it will destroy the cosmetics industry, which is one of the pillars of their domestic economy. Thunder should be able to pry a piece of the pie, but the automotive industry is more important in Europe than the cosmetics industry.
So this cake will not be too big, and most likely it will be stuck with the approval authority of the energy service center.
It doesn't matter, Behemoth Industries is not a business that likes to lie on the credit book and count money.
The mobile phone industry is relatively unpopular in Europe, as long as it wins the entire market of the second-generation Phantom crystal mobile phone, and the home version of the liquid printer market. Ye Qing was sure that he would make the entire European people crazy.
And the day when the second-generation Phantom crystal mobile phone will be on the market is not far away.
