"This is not a problem, we don't have an alloy factory in our hands, 754 factory, now to produce tungsten and molybdenum products, you have to use high-temperature powder metallurgy, the current high-temperature furnace should be almost designed, maybe the sample has been produced. If powder metallurgy is used, according to this process, the rare earth elements are removed, and the production cost of this depleted uranium alloy can be controlled at what price? Liu Yijiu immediately had an idea when he thought that the high-temperature vacuum furnace on the side of the 754 factory should be ready soon.

You don't need depleted uranium alloy to make armor, after all, although the radiation of that thing is small, it still can't be eliminated.

The bullets used to make armor-piercing bullets and S75 and 77 anti-materiel sniper rifles will be even more powerful.

With graphene, what kind of depleted uranium alloy is used?

Depleted uranium alloy is used for anti-armor, it is definitely an artifact!

"We already have such production equipment? If this were the case, the cost would drop a lot, but we didn't do a detailed calculation, but according to the initial assumptions, if the mass production is carried out, the price per ton should be reduced to about $200,000. Liu Suxue asked in surprise. If vacuum induction melting is used, this cost will be lower, and it is estimated that it can be compressed to about 150,000 US dollars......"

High-temperature powder metallurgy, which is the most cutting-edge process in the materials industry.

He had no idea that China already had the production capacity to do so. If high-temperature powder metallurgy can be used to produce tungsten and molybdenum products, then their research will be faster.

And vacuum induction smelting, this one is even more high-end.

Liu Yijiu heard this. It's also gloomy.

The vacuum induction furnace is out, but it has to be melted and cast. This technical difficulty will be greater than that of powder metallurgy.

For these, he could only shake his head. It's not that he can't figure it out, it's that he can't devote the time to it, all kinds of techniques, as if he has to pull out the seedlings to help grow.

He continued to walk around the workshop and saw that the processing of depleted uranium alloys before heat treatment was not very difficult, and he was more relieved. Perhaps in the future, if you want to produce depleted uranium armor-piercing shells, it is estimated that it can only be here, and it is really not a good thing for ordinary workers to come into contact with these radioactive materials without protection.

The inspection here is over. Back to the right again, on this side is the graphene research laboratory, which is also only two or three hundred square meters, as Liu Suxue said, there is basically no progress in ten years.

Liu Yijiu wants to obtain a large number of graphene films, or materials made of graphene films, but there is no possibility at all, but they can use the graphene produced by their hand to make some carbon tubes. This is the result of the research of the past decade.

Liu Suxue's research mainly lies in the research and understanding of the various properties of graphene, an anti-heaven material. For large-scale preparation processes, because there are not too many results on the application of graphene, it is not so urgent.

For such a case. Liu Yijiu also knew that he couldn't be anxious.

Even if he knew about the cheap large-scale preparation process of graphene, he would not have said it now.

"The nuclear power plant here is designed to have a power of 500MW. The main consumers of electricity are some research on the Truss project, and the electricity used in the entire base. It has tripled since last year, but it will only allow the nuclear power plants to operate at less than 20 percent low power. The nuclear fuel stored in it can last at least 30 years according to the current use...... "Finally, continue to walk into the mountain, and it is estimated that there is a distance of more than 1,000 meters from the entrance of the most important cave, and between the innermost reactor and the outer area, there is a reinforced concrete wall up to six meters thick, and it is said that several layers of five-millimeter-thick lead plates and other radiation are installed inside.

"Why don't you have cooling towers? Or are we a controllable nuclear reactor at room temperature? Liu Yijiu was very puzzled by this, "Could it be that the cooling water in here is really transported to the various areas of the main base next to it?" ”

There is only a huge reactor more than ten meters high in the middle, and Liu Yijiu doesn't want to go in to see what is going on inside.

It stands to reason that the cooling tower of a 500MW nuclear power plant will be larger, and if it is a cooling tower, then it is impossible to have such a large amount of power.

At the same time, Liu Yijiu remembered that Wang Shunyi once told him that the 24-hour uninterrupted hot water supply in the base came from the nuclear power plant in the base.

"It's really coming from here. Cooling tower, just look around here......" Liu Suxue pointed to the surrounding cave walls for Liu Yijiu to see.

Liu Yijiu looked in the direction of his finger and was stunned for a moment.

In the small cave, there are actually a circle of copper pipes with a diameter of more than ten centimeters!

How much money does it cost!

"This cave is the cooling tower, and the steam turbine unit and the generator set are in the other direction, just to reduce the impact of noise on the next research room."

Liu Yijiu shook his head and shook out the shock in his mind.

He didn't want to say anything about the layout of this, although the various functional partitions didn't look very ideal, but this kind of protection and consideration were very in place.

"What about the generator sets? Let's take a look? Liu Yijiu didn't know where the central control room was, but what he wanted to see was the steam turbine and generator set.

Steam turbines are the weak point of the Republic, and many conventionally powered warships use steam turbines.

Whether it is Harbin Automobile or the Dongfang Steam Turbine Factory in Deyang, at the beginning, it was to produce steam turbines, not gas turbines. It seems that the production of gas turbines will have to wait many years for Alstom's technology to be introduced.

Walking towards the back of the reactor with Liu Yijiu, he saw a small door, the entire height was more than two meters, and the width was much narrower than the door that came in.

When I opened the door, there were some steps carved out of the stone, and I went straight up. Each step must be at least thirty or forty centimeters long, and I don't know what the designer thinks, it's really tiring to walk.

I don't know how much manpower and material resources have been spent on this project.

Although a large part of it is said that it is a natural cave at the beginning, Liu Yijiu really can't understand that even if a nuclear power plant is built, it can be built outside, and there are vast mountains around it, so there is no need to hide the nuclear power plant in the cave.

However, he was also relieved when he thought of the nuclear power plant in a cave on the other side of the mountain city that he had decrypted later.

Walking up the steps, I walked up fifty or sixty steps, and the height rose at least twenty meters, only to see a small platform of only more than ten square meters, surrounded by rocks, and there was no decoration or anything, and there were two black-clothed NBs holding 77 automatic rifles standing guard outside.

"This is the central control room of the nuclear power plant, which is 20 meters higher than the nuclear power plant, and the rock layer in the middle is more than 20 meters thick, and once there is a leak inside, the stones on the door can fall...... "On the platform in front of the central control room, Liu Suxue introduced to Liu Yijiu.

Xie Heping on the side didn't speak much from the beginning, as if he didn't know much about the situation here.

Entering the central control room, Liu Yijiu was really shocked.

Compared to the non-sci-fi environment in the entire base, it suddenly feels like entering the space age from the primitive age.

Throughout the room, there were countless monitors about the size of a twenty-four-inch television, not only hanging on the surrounding walls, but also lined up on neat rows of consoles.

If it weren't for the shape that protrudes out more violently, he would think that this is a central control room from the future era.

"The supercomputer in this is better than the one in the base, American goods, most of the parts are from the United States, the computing speed is five million times per second, mainly used to monitor and control the operation of the entire power station......" Liu Suxue's words made Liu Yijiu, who had not yet come to his senses, fall into a sluggish state again!

He is looking for computer talents everywhere, and there is obviously no shortage of them.

This power station was built many years ago, and although by next year the Republic will be able to produce an integrated circuit computer called the HDS-9, which can perform 5 million operations per second, and Wang chose the first laser phototypesetting machine to discharge the sample book, but this was not a few years ago.

"Is the technical team that designed this computer the people at our base?" Liu Yijiu asked Liu Suxue very eagerly.

Even Xie Heping leaked an incredible look.

Li Rui, a girl, doesn't know anything about these things at all, and she can't be shocked by these things. If you get some guns, you can probably shock her.

"Here, Xiao Zhihe is the person in charge, and the United States has returned. You can take him to the base over there. I'll just have a few people left in charge of maintenance. Liu Suxue seemed to know what Liu Yijiu was going to say, and before he could speak, he asked Liu Yijiu to take people away.

Xiao Zhihe is not here at the moment, so he is ready to wait until Liu Yijiu understands the situation inside before introducing it.

"Just look at those steam turbines, they are all honest, and many of them are even removed from their scrapped warships. If later it is more advanced, the whole base will not be unaware. Anyway, we're part of the base here......"

Liu Suxue sighed.

This is the situation in the base, all kinds of supporting facilities are relatively complete, but in terms of technology, it is still very backward.

"Then there's nothing to see...... Liu Yijiu also sighed.

He was hungry. (To be continued......)

PS: Happy holidays to everyone. A new month is about to begin, and I hope that the guarantee in everyone's hands can be thrown out. Tomorrow will resume the update, and this evening will finish the work at hand.
