Chapter 118: Nuclear Reaction Center
os: Brothers and friends who read books, can you give some recommendation votes?
……
If this chain energy circulation system module is to be repaired, the workload will be very large, more than double that of the technology simulation transformation module that has been repaired so far.
And in addition to the resources and energy points consumed to fix this module, he also has several hard conditions.
Yu Xiaohu asked his assistant to calculate that in addition to 6,200 energy points and 400,000 tons of resource requirements to repair this module, he would also need four nuclear reactor centers that provide energy separately.
These nuclear reactors can be used as the core energy mechanism in the chain energy circulation system, and in the repair phase, the entire chain energy circulation system will operate around these four nuclear reaction centers, which need to provide strong nuclear energy.
After the repair of this module is completed, this energy circulation system will be linked to the energy module, which will also provide more types of energy for the base island, and in the future, it will not only convert those biological resources and mineral resources to extract energy through the guò energy extraction and conversion function.
After all, at present, the energy supply of the base island mostly depends on the various resources collected, which are decomposed by the energy extraction and conversion module, rather than relying on multiple types of energy facilities to provide, and the efficiency is still in a primary state.
However, with the help of this powerful system function, after the base island is upgraded, the energy module will also be refined and classified, and it will be the same as the resource module, through the proportion of different types of elements to build different energy plates.
For example, uranium can be used to provide nuclear energy, tritium can be used to provide hydrogen atom energy, tidal energy, temperature difference power generation, blue wave power generation in the ocean can be established through the establishment of a variety of facilities, manganese nodules thermal energy extraction and conversion kinetic energy, submarine coal mines, submarine oil, submarine natural gas, combustible ice, submarine rare earths, ...... and so on.
It is even possible to search for nearby active volcanoes through guò and carry out renovation projects on active volcanoes, using the volcanic vents to provide more powerful energy.
This shows how important this 'chain energy cycle module' will be.
This is also a very important functional module that Yu Xiaohu first considered to repair after repairing the application transformation module of the technology module.
Among the conditions for repairing this module, the 6,200 points of energy and 400,000 tons of resources required are as much as 140,000 points of total energy and more than 600,000 tons of total resource reserves for the current base island, which can still meet the needs of repair.
However, to build four nuclear reactor centers, it is equivalent to building four nuclear power plants, and Yu Xiaohu has never been exposed to the knowledge of nuclear physics, so he was really surprised at first glance.
However, after Yu Xiaohu confirmed the instructions to repair this module, the uncle in the suit gave a set of repair engineering plans as soon as possible.
After reading this repair plan, Yu Xiaohu figured out what was going on.
It turns out that these four nuclear reactor centers are not on the scale of four nuclear power plants as Yu Xiaohu imagined, and it is not difficult to establish these four nuclear reactor centers with the current nuclear physics technology in the base island and one satellite.
Moreover, the scale of each nuclear reactor center is only the size of a football field at most, and when the base island opens up more advanced technology in the future, it can be upgraded and expanded, and there will be more powerful nuclear physics technology to replace it, and gradually develop more high-end nuclear energy.
Nuclear energy, commonly known as atomic energy, is the energy released when the nucleons in the nucleus - neutrons or protons - are redistributed and combined.
Nuclear energy is divided into two categories: one is called fission energy, which belongs to the fission of heavy elements, such as uranium, and the other is called fusion energy, the fusion of light elements, such as deuterium, tritium, lithium, etc......
Nuclear energy is enormous.
With the current technology mastered by human beings on the earth, the energy released by the fission of one kilogram of uranium nucleus is about equal to the chemical energy released when 2,700 tons of standard coal are burned.
At present, the high-level nuclear fission technology of one satellite on the base island is more advanced than the nuclear technology mastered by Earth Science and Technology, and it can not only maximize the energy released by uranium atomic fission, but the energy released by one kilogram of uranium nucleus is at least equivalent to the energy released by the combustion of 6,000 tons of coal.
At the same time, this satellite nuclear fission technology can also perfectly solve the recycling of nuclear fuel, eliminate nuclear radioactive pollution, and have the ability to complete nuclear fuel recycling and recycling of uranium enrichment, fuel production (including MOX fuel), new fuel and spent fuel collection, transformation and processing, decommissioning of nuclear facilities and waste disposal.
Of course, among the implementation plans provided by Uncle Suit, the most important and ingenious point is the solution of nuclear fuel.
Uncle in a suit intends to use the development of marine nuclear energy to solve the problem of nuclear material supply.
Whether it is the heavy element uranium, or the light element deuterium and tritium...... and other resources, all of which have quite huge reserves in the ocean.
The huge body of seawater contains abundant uranium resources, which are currently included in the list of resources that can be collected by the collection module of the base island.
However, the concentration of uranium in seawater is very low, with only 3 grams of uranium in 1000 tons of seawater and 003 grams of deuterium per liter of seawater.
The 003 grams of deuterium fusion release the same energy as 300 litres of gasoline to burn, and through the technology of controlled nuclear fusion, 1 kilogram of hydrogen fuel can be equivalent to at least 4 kilograms of uranium fuel or 10,000 tons of high-quality coal fuel.
For the current scientific and technological strength of the earth, its purification technology is very complex, and can only use adsorption method, co-sedimentation method, bubble separation method and algae bioconcentration method...... and other methods.
However, for the base island, the above methods of uranium extraction can be completely eliminated.
Among the one-star technology on the base island, there is a primary proton microfiltration technology.
In the process of absorbing and discharging large amounts of seawater, he can easily filter and extract the isotopic elements of hydrogen such as uranium, deuterium and tritium, which are used to absorb and discharge large amounts of seawater.
However, at present, the base island is only in the initial stage, and there is only nuclear fission technology in the list of science and technology application modules, and if you want to apply safer, more effective, and more extensive nuclear fusion technology, you must upgrade the base island to the first stage.
But this did not delay Yu Xiaohu to start collecting this kind of strategic resources that are extremely important for the entire earth in advance.
Now, Uncle Suit's plan can perfectly solve the most important fuel supply problem of the nuclear reactor center, so Yu Xiaohu has no reason not to implement and implement this plan.
So after Yu Xiaohu gave the order from the Supreme Commander, the uncle in the suit once again asked the king squid to be used as coolies and devoted himself to the repair of the 'chain energy reaction cycle module'.
It's just that this module involves docking with the energy module, which will be very complicated, and if it is to be repaired, it will take a bit of time, and Yu Xiaohu will have to wait for at least four or five months.
Considering that it is already a cold winter in the outside world, the New Year will be celebrated in a few weeks.
In addition, the production situation of the beverage factory, the expansion of the production line, and the construction of the real yàn center have reached an important stage.
Although Xiang Shaoyu will report to Yu Xiaohu every few days, there are some important matters such as capital trends, investment plans, personnel changes, and financial budgets, which need to be personally resolved and signed by the chairman.
And now, the uncle in the suit wants to repair that important module, so naturally he can't find time to go back and show up and deal with it, which requires Yu Xiaohu to take time out to go back and deal with it.
decided to go home for the Chinese New Year, Yu Xiaohu did not delay, he returned to the main core cabin of the control center, sorted out his belongings, and put on the miniature nerve weapon.
After putting on the nanosuit, he let the energy location and teleportation facility send him back to the underwater world.
It's winter, and the sea is bitterly cold.
Although Yu Xiaohu was wearing a powerful biochemical nanosuit, the cold temperature of the sea still made him shiver as soon as he came into contact with it.
Drip, drip!
However, when Yu Xiaohu had just left the base island and had not yet begun to float to the hidden position of the yacht, the communication system in the helmet suddenly sounded an alarm.
The alarm came from the big-eyed beauty assistant of the base island: "Your Excellency, a military submarine has been detected approaching in the direction of you and the yacht about 12 nautical miles ahead, and the sonar detection signal of the other party has been blocked and intercepted by the communication system of the base island, but the military submarine is driving in a straight line in a fixed coordinate direction, please ......avoid it immediately."
After hearing the alarm, Yu Xiaohu was stunned.
Unexpectedly, before he arrived at the yacht, he encountered a military nuclear submarine, no matter which country it was, Yu Xiaohu's small arms and legs naturally wanted to avoid it.
Drip, drip!
However, when Yu Xiaohu planned to land on the yacht in another place, an alarm came from the base island again.
"Your Excellency, when the military nuclear submarine in front of you was diving at a depth of 570 meters and continuing to rise, it had already discovered this area, as well as the anomaly when you were diving, and the other party had locked on you and the yacht for scanning and tracking.
The base island is remotely controlled, and the anti-tracking system has been turned on, but the nuclear submarine is still locking and tracking, in order to ensure your safety, please return to the base island immediately, please return to the base island immediately......"
"What, I was locked by an attack nuclear submarine at the same time as the yacht?"
Yu Xiaohu was taken aback
