"Huh? Is there still such a technology to exist? Is this possible? Tang Feng asked in surprise.

Dr. Schmitz smiled and didn't speak, but Benjamin on the side seemed to think of something, and suddenly said: "Doctor, this technology you are talking about can't be the kind of small nuclear reactor technology developed by the nuclear physics genius who once made Oba President Ma praise, right?" ”

Dr. Schmitz smiled and nodded.

Benjamin patted his head and thought for a moment before he said, "Doctor, I remember that little guy seems to be called Wilson, right?" ”

Dr. Schmitz nodded again and said, "That little guy's name is Taylor. Wilson. ”

"Yes, it's Taylor. Wilson! After getting Dr. Schmitz's confirmation, Benjamin excitedly said, "Don, this little guy is a true genius!" ”

Tang Feng smiled bitterly and spread his hands and said, "Man, can you tell me more about this genius?" I don't know anything! ”

Benjamin said a little excitedly: "Don, do you believe that there will be people in this world who dare to shout at his mentor, the famous quantum theorist and Nobel laureate Winterberg, at the age of thirteen, that I want to build a nuclear reactor by myself, and then a year later, this fourteen-year-old guy will really build a miniature nuclear reactor core by himself?" Can you imagine that this little one, who is only 14 years old, is the thirty-second person in the world to complete deuterium ion nuclear fusion? As you can imagine, this fourteen-year-old guy developed a new type of nuclear reactor technology four years later, when he was eighteen years old, on his own, which could not only make nuclear reactors smaller. And the main ingredient turned out to be the radioactive elements in the old nuclear weapons waiting to be dismantled Oh my God, doctor, if you didn't mention this genius, I really didn't think of this man, but when I think of this person, I really want to fall for him! ”

Benjamin's words made Tang Feng stunned. If these words of Benjamin are true, then there is no doubt that the name is Taylor. Wilson's little guy is truly a true genius.

Damn, at the age of fourteen, you can complete deuterium ion nuclear fusion alone! Holding a big grass, is this still a person?

What did you do when you were 14 years old? Is it chasing "One Piece" all day long? Or are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf to win the attention of your female classmates? Anyway, when I was fourteen years old, it seemed that I could complete a process of turning raw eggs into mature eggs, or I could turn unopened instant noodles into steaming cooked instant noodles in a bowl

But what about people? At the age of fourteen, he had already done such a tall thing on his own! Damn, compared to others, I'm a scumbag

Tang Feng suddenly felt a little weak, and it was true that he had a star core. But that thing is acquired. Someone who is Taylor. Wilson is really innate, this thing is really incomparable!

Seeing Tang Feng's constipated expression, Dr. Schmitz also laughed, "Don, you don't have to be ashamed of that little guy in Taylor, let alone you, counting all the human beings on the entire earth, there are definitely only a handful of people who can catch up with that demon." This guy's talent in nuclear physics can be called the best in the world. If only give him more time. Maybe the controlled nuclear fusion reaction will be realized in the hands of this little guy! ”

Tang Feng was not lightly hit. There was silence for a while before asking, "Doctor, don't you mean that you just want to work with this little guy?" If that's the case, I agree! ”

Dr. Schmitz nodded with a smile and said, "Don, I admire you for having such a mind. I can say that this decision of yours will definitely allow us to equip large spacecraft with new ion thrusters. Earlier appeared in outer space. ”

After a pause, Dr. Schmitz took out a small stack of documents from the leather bag he was carrying, flipped through them, took out one of them, and said, "This document says that Taylor. You and Benjamin can take a look at the specific data of the kind of small nuclear reactor that Wilson developed. I need your authorization if I see fit. ”

Tang Feng took the information and looked down. It doesn't matter if you look at it, it really scared Tang Feng a little. It turns out this Taylor. Wilson is indeed a genius, and at the age of eighteen he was able to develop a small nuclear reactor that is even more awesome than that of Los Alamos National Laboratory.

From this information, it is very clear that Taylor. Data on the small nuclear reactor developed by Wilson.

There are two types of small nuclear fission reactors, the one with a capacity of 50 megawatt hours, which is only 1350 mm x 950 mm x 750 mm, which is almost not much larger than a executive desk, and weighs only about 600 kilograms.

As for the second small nuclear reactor, which can generate 100 megawatt hours, the whole volume is a circle larger than the first model, but it can definitely be placed in an ordinary office, and it will definitely not affect your office

Crucially, the reactor uses gas instead of steam to drive the turbine to rotate, runs at a lower temperature than conventional nuclear reactors, and doesn't leak anything out of cracks. The fuel is in the form of molten salt, the reactor does not need to be pressurized, and in the event of an accident, the nuclear reaction will be stopped by simply placing the furnace core in the neutron absorber tank below the reactor.

This is undoubtedly a fairly safe design method, and the nuclear reactor can completely avoid the catastrophe of nuclear leakage by adopting such a design.

Dr. Schmitz said: "Taylor's design is undoubtedly a very genius design, this little guy once talked to me about his design ideas, he said that his design, in part, borrowed some ideas from thorium-based molten salt and reactors, so if his nuclear reactor is modified, it can completely replace the current uranium with thorium, so the design of this nuclear reactor should be named the fifth generation nuclear reactor." ”

What Dr. Schmitz said, Tang Feng understood. Thorium is a radioactive element that is a good thing, one ton of thorium can produce the equivalent of 200 tons of uranium, or 3.5 million tons of coal, and the proven reserves of thorium can provide the world with energy consumption for at least 10,000 years. Compared with the traditional nuclear raw material uranium, thorium is easier to enrich and refined, so the cost is not high; What's also exciting is that the use of thorium does not produce carbon dioxide, which means that it is a clean energy source, and the use of thorium energy does not create carbon emission issues, and it also produces only 0.6% of the radioactive waste equivalent to conventional nuclear power plants in the process of power generation. What's more, reactors built with thorium don't have to worry about core meltdowns.

"So, Doctor, this Taylor. Will Wilson be able to convert such a nuclear reactor into a thorium-based nuclear reactor? ”

"Hehe, Don, I don't think this is a difficult thing for that genius!" (To be continued.) )
