Chapter 84: Mass Effect

Many of the accelerator engineers are former nuclear physicists, and on this day, they talked about why nuclear power is slowing down.

If it is running at full speed, a nuclear power plant can pay back in 3 years, but it cannot often run at full speed, about 10 years to pay back, the initial investment is particularly huge, and the people's psychological fear, in order to cool the water, must be at the seaside, and other factors restrict the development of nuclear power plants.

Juchen came up with a very unexpected solution, which was to replace the water cooling with a Stirling generator, which would allow the nuclear power plant to be built in a place where birds don't lay eggs, such as in the desert. The seaside is often a place where people settle.

The Stirling generator uses the thermal expansion of the gas to do work, and it will cool down after the work is done, so it is a natural cooling system.

It had to be by the sea? Isn't it the same as Watt had to use the water power of the river to drive the loom before he improved the steam engine? It's too backward to think that there will be such an operation in the 21st century.

Water-cooled water also needs to be separated from radioactive water by a heat exchange medium, and if this can be done, so can the Stirling generator.

In response to the problem that safety redundant facilities and measures are too expensive, Juchen asked whether it is possible to reduce costs by using miniaturization, which can spread the risk of a large-scale nuclear disaster and make it easier to deal with in the event of a occurrence.

The most interesting point is that he proposed a completely new method of purifying uranium ore. Or the application of accelerators, the uranium ore is turned into plasma at high temperature, and then the uranium nucleus is accelerated, the only difference between the lighter uranium essence uranium-235 and the dominant uranium-238 is three neutrons, but at high speed, the mass effect will magnify the difference in their energy, and the weapon in "The Three-Body Problem" - light particles, is to use the mass effect to destroy a star with a tiny particle close to the speed of light.

The high-velocity uranium nucleus is blocked by an energy wall composed of electromagnetic fields, and the high-energy uranium-238 and 235 can pass through the energy wall, but impurities cannot. Again, fine-tune the energy of the energy wall, this time, 238 can pass through the energy wall, while Uranium Essence 235 cannot, so that it can be accumulated.

This design completely overturns the stupid way of using centrifuges to slowly purify uranium ore.

This purification method may be too efficient, and a chain reaction will occur on the medium where 235 is accumulated, so the critical value must be calculated well and the protective measures must be done.

Purification 235 is the first step of the nuclear power plant, the intermediate form of nuclear fuel "yellow cake" can also be directly touched by hand, there is no concern about radiation at all, the formal nuclear fuel must be isolated with gloves, the fuel used in the nuclear power plant designed by Juchen is "yellow cake", only when it is needed, it is efficiently purified by the method of energy wall, and it is used immediately after purification, so that it becomes spent fuel, so it will be very safe.

Theoretically, there is no possibility of a large-scale nuclear leak because it is a ready-to-use and produced nuclear fuel.

Soon, the diamond team began to switch to testing new uranium ore purifications, and a month later, the results were shocking, and the weapons level was easily achieved, and if it had not been for the good work of secrecy, the IAEA would have come to trouble.

This...... This method is so powerful that if it is made public, it is likely that mankind will immediately enter the era of nuclear panic, because it can produce weapons-grade uranium-235 so efficiently, alas!

Of course, the engineers of this team are also very efficient, and they can complete the verification of the new purification technology in one month.

If Juchen wanted to, his team could build an atomic bomb the next month.

Of course, the purchase of uranium ore is watched by the relevant departments, if it is not for someone in the team who has a special way, ordinary people can't get it, and they are also because of the small scale of the purchase, which did not cause any turmoil.

According to Ju Chen's estimates, they can make a large circular ship with a diameter of 100 meters, and on board, go to the high seas for further testing, he doesn't really want to build an atomic bomb, but this kind of technology doesn't want anyone to know, the only way is to go to the high seas to do research, ostensibly to build a very special yacht, pretending to be a plaything like "dog, you have changed".

The "Aquila" yacht that Juchen bought is rarely used, what a waste.

Now he has to start using it, and slowly let people get used to his plaything.

It's a difficult role change, because his projects shock the world from time to time.

The monarch butterfly weapon system is an excellent example of this. When the project was progressing hard, Juchen suddenly cared, asked about the situation, and put forward the idea of using compressed gas to replace the rocket recovery mode, and the pressure gas did not need to be prepared in advance, as long as the chamber pressure of the gun chamber was used when firing the gun.

This idea is similar to the Kangaroo Cavalry's air bow, which greatly simplifies the power system.

Under the concept of this gas rocket, inertial navigation recovery was quickly and successfully carried out, and it was possible to simply set the launch point to 100 meters to the front and back, to the left and right, and the dispersion of the recovery point did not exceed 5 meters.

Wu Jiachen saw that the 56 bullets sprayed out in 1 second in a single tube were recovered one by one, and they landed softly at the recovery point, making a crisp and pleasant metal impact sound, and couldn't help but stand up, with a cow on his face, and he had words: "Success......

In the future, spraying with hundreds of pipes together will really be on par with a metal storm.

The bullet uses a smoothbore barrel, and in order to fly stably, it uses a uniquely designed miniature tail pattern. The wings that can be bounced out are the most difficult parts to design, and the final shape is that the engineers got inspiration from bats, using a metal skeleton and a soft membrane structure of the wing surface, after ejecting, the lift-to-drag ratio reaches 15:1, which means that after being hit into the sky of 10,000 meters, it can glide for 150 kilometers and fly back to any designated place within 150 kilometers in diameter.

It was recyclable in the space of the size of the rifle cartridge!

Even if such a bullet is 100 times more expensive than an ordinary rifle bullet, it is worth it, because it is not a matter of money, the problem is that there is not such a strong logistical ability on the battlefield, and no amount of bullets in the rear is in vain.

The price is 100 times more expensive, but the consumption rate is 1000 times slower, 10,000 times, which is definitely cost-effective.

The Emperor Butterfly close-in defense cannon has become a hidden killer move of the Chinese Navy, and the project is top secret and the level is very high.

Of course, there is no impermeable wall in the world, although I don't know the technical details, the news that the Imperial Butterfly close defense system was purchased by the Navy is still known internationally.

It is equivalent to Professor Juchen becoming a notorious weapon manufacturer, alas, it's a pity, just do the promising job of being a professor, why should he become the inventor of a murder weapon? No, it seems that Juchen has always been for money and not for reputation, for example: to endorse tobacco companies.

Last time he could make up for his reputation with a filter cigarette, how can he make up for it this time?

I'm sorry, not only did he not repent, but he also intensified, and after being purchased by the Navy and earning 300 million US dollars, Juchen became even more energetic, and actually studied army equipment: chariots.

Russia, which is the best tank in the world, and Israel, which is the most innovative in the world, have all failed in one thing - street warfare, and Juchen is to study the core of modern urban warfare, a super tank optimized for street warfare.

The project was named "Street Fighting Armored Car".

For example, the Israeli Merkava main battle tank, which has the world's largest protection, was hit by a roadside bomb with a 150-kilogram charge, and all the crew members were killed instantly, almost insolvable, but Juchen's street fighting armored vehicle can resist this almost terrifying bombshell, because it is large enough.

On the whole, it is as high as a three-story building, which is definitely not the configuration of the main battle tank, because it is easy to be locked, but there is no need to consider this in street fighting, the huge body is several times that of an ordinary main battle tank, the crew is located in the middle, and the bomb has to hurt the crew and pass through the peculiar "reactive armor".

The so-called reactive armor is a small explosive that responds to an explosion and can block the metal jet of armor-piercing projectiles...... High-pressure compressed air. The huge body is filled with high-pressure air, and only air filling can ensure that this Diplodocus-like body is not overweight.

Ju Chen admires the anti-strike ability of the old Mei Nimitz-class aircraft carrier very much, this is because the Nimitz has thousands of watertight cabins, and the armored vehicle he designed adopts the concept of an aircraft carrier, using airtight cabins to resist sudden attacks, which is more stable and reliable than any intelligent reactive armor.

What's even more amazing is that all of these airtight cabins can be used to store energy without waste. It's still the old rule, high-pressure air and three-dimensional clockwork work together to form a powerful reaction defense system, with the help of "military power bank", this cargo can be fully charged in a few minutes and can last up to 80 kilometers. There is no way, the armored car is too heavy, this cargo has achieved a weight of 50 tons, although it is lighter than the 62 tons of the American main battle tank M1 Abran, but it is still not a small amount.

The M1 Abram has a maximum range of 465 km, and to catch up with this value, it has to rely on a range extender. At this time, Juchen plans to unrealistically sell his fluid battery, and his battery system itself can also have a small-scale explosion, which can also play a certain protective role in the outside of the armor and inside the C3 (C2 + high-pressure air energy storage device).

The battery system makes a "battery chamber" every square meter, and the damage of a reaction explosion stops at this 1 square meter, which does not affect most of the kinetic energy. The battery is so wonderful, and there is no waste at all.

Moreover, the feature of the fluid battery is elastic energy, you can catch up with the M1, and you can also have a range of 1000 kilometers, anyway, the space of the combat vehicle is large enough, and the tube is enough.

With a range of 1,000 kilometers, basically the entire territory of China can be reached at will.

Because of its huge size, this design is called the "Moving Fortress".

In order to promote his own fluid battery, Juchen also fought hard, changing the low-key of the past, most of the concepts of the street combat armored vehicle design this time are public, anyway, it is impossible for others to imitate his patented technology C3 and fluid battery.

As for what weapons to put on the armored car, it was left to the hired specialists to develop it, and he was no longer interested. The professor only controls the most important things.
