Chapter 249: Nuclear Power Plant

After shaking his head, which was still a little headache, and looking at the sky outside, Chen Shao grabbed the water cup next to the bed and poured a few sips of cold water. I sighed in my heart: It's better to drink less wine in the future.

As always, I got up in the morning, and the winter in the south was not very cold, and when Chen Shao came back, he was already sweating profusely. When he remembered that he had just trained with those sailors in the barracks, Chen Shao had a faint smile on his face.

Chen Shao's daily training goals are set, but the training intensity has increased a lot during this period. The soldiers in those barracks, seeing their supreme commander, the leader they swore allegiance to, trained so hard, and many of the soldiers in the barracks also spontaneously increased the intensity of training. Even those generals joined in, led by Chen Shao, setting off a training boom.

After reading the date, Chen Shaocai remembered that he was going back to Hanjing this afternoon. And today is also a busy day, especially in the morning, Chen Shao also plans to go to a few research laboratories.

The most important thing is that Chen Shao is going to go to the nuclear power plant, and after a year of construction, the nuclear power plant has been officially established. The entire nuclear power plant was built by the Red Alert base, just like the other construction units. This is also by far the most time-consuming unit to build in the Red Alert base. A year of time.

This year's time, Chen Shao felt that it was worth it, not to mention a year, even if it took two or three years, Chen Shao felt that he had made a lot of money. Nuclear power plant, everything can be said to start from scratch. What needs to be paid attention to is all a smear. As for Chen Hong's explanation, why it takes a year for a nuclear power plant, Chen Shao also understands it.

When Chen Shao came to the nuclear power plant, he saw the giant cables with a diameter of more than one meter, plus the three giant chimneys. In Chen Shao's opinion, a year is really worth it. A nuclear power plant produces 1,000 times more electricity than a magnetic reactor. In other words, the power generation power of a nuclear power plant needs to be compared with the power generation power composed of 1,000 magnetic energy reactors. In the past ten years, Chen Shao has only built a few magnetic energy reactors, and 1,000 is already the sky. Excluding those artificially built power generation facilities, the power plant built by the Red Police Base in more than ten years is just comparable to a nuclear power plant.

Outside the nuclear power plant, Qian Siqiang was already waiting there when he saw Chen Shao's motorvoy parked at the gate of the nuclear power plant. He stepped forward, shook hands with Chen Shao, who had just gotten out of the car, and said:

"Your Majesty, you have been hiding from us so much, the theory of nuclear power generation that we have been studying has not made great progress, and Your Majesty has already built a nuclear power plant. It really impressed the top four, and I don't know which team designed this nuclear power station, which is really too strong. ”

As soon as Chen Shao got out of the car, he heard Qian Siqiang babbling a lot. However, Chen Shao already had a draft in his heart, and when he walked into the nuclear power plant with Qian Siqiang, he said: "There is nothing strange about this, this nuclear power plant theory has been there for a long time, and you can ask Einstein for the specific situation." ”

"This nuclear power plant was designed by Mr. Einstein?" Qian Siqiang was a little puzzled. Albert Einstein came to the nuclear physics laboratory more than a year ago and was involved in the development of uranium enrichment. Qian Siqiang has many of his insights, and it is precisely with these insights that the work of uranium enrichment has made great breakthroughs in succession. It soon reached the 25% abundance that Chen Shao expected, but Qian Siqiang didn't know that Einstein was also involved in the development of the nuclear power plant.

"When the time comes, you can ask Albert Einstein." Chen Shao did not directly answer Qian Siqiang's question, but directly kicked the ball to Einstein. Chen Shao wanted to explain to Qian Siqiang where the nuclear power plant came from, and Chen Shao didn't know what to say. And Einstein won't say what this is, but he can probably better explain what is going on with this nuclear power plant.

"Your Majesty, all the indicators of the nuclear power plant are very advanced, especially the current control room, and the electronic equipment in it is even more dazzling. These things are probably not Mr. Einstein's masterpieces! Qian Siqiang said again, in the face of such advanced engineering facilities, Qian Siqiang said that he was not curious, it was fake.

"The speed of China's scientific and technological innovation is changing with each passing day, and it can be said that there is revolutionary progress every day. These things are not difficult to achieve, this era is the era of great development of science and technology, you look at it, the development of science and technology in the future will be faster. It won't be long before you feel that these things are commonplace and not too noticeable. For this curious baby-like Qian Siqiang, Chen Shao could only explain slowly.

"In other words, these things were all researched by ourselves, and I thought they were the product of some foreign scientific research laboratory." Qian Siqiang is still skeptical about China's scientific research capabilities. In his eyes, China's scientific and technological level is too far from the scientific and technological level of foreign countries. However, when he heard that these were all products of China, although Qian Siqiang still had doubts about China's scientific and technological strength, he was also very happy in his heart.

In fact, China's scientific research and industry are not as unbearable as Qian Siqiang's impression. It's just that he himself has very little exposure to things, and he stays in the laboratory every day, and it is rare to go out once a year. To put it mildly, it's almost derailed from real life. If Qian Siqiang is asked to write a report on the life of Chinese people now, it is estimated that he will write the standard of living a few years ago. That is, there is less time to contact real things, and reality is moving too fast.

"Isn't that weird? If you knew China's current scientific research strength, you wouldn't think so. I suggest you still have time to go out and walk more, stay in the lab all day, and remember to combine work and rest. Relax often and don't let yourself get too tired. Chen Shao shook his head and said. In fact, Chen Shao is also working with the mud, the construction unit of the Red Police Base, where can he say why, he can only attribute these to other scientific research departments, saving money and chasing after the top four.

"I will, but Your Majesty's secrecy about scientific research projects is too high, which makes us inexplicable about many things." Qian Siqiang said.

"Some actions are necessary, and if you talk about the level of secrecy, the secrecy in your physics lab is the highest. Nuclear energy is an emerging energy source, and we are the only one in the world who is currently researching it, and many things must be kept secret enough. In this way, we can narrow the generation gap between us and other countries in the world. Chen Shao said.

Qian Siqiang nodded, did not speak again, and directly took Chen Shao to visit the entire nuclear power plant. At this time, the nuclear reactor was not turned on, and the nuclear power plant was also resting. The nuclear power plant has been built, but the subsequent cables have not yet been laid. It's also a labor-intensive project. Guangxi, as the province with the largest demand for electricity in China, already has a power supply system, and now it also needs to connect the power generated by nuclear power plants to this power supply system, and also connect this power supply system to the power supply network of neighboring provinces. We maximize the utility of the power generated by a nuclear power plant and prevent wasting electricity.

A large number of industrial belts such as the Fangchenggang area and the Qinghe Village Industrial Base are the places with the largest demand for electricity, and the power grids in these places also need to be upgraded. All of these things have to be planned well, and the nuclear power plant will not officially generate electricity until the large network of lines can withstand the strong currents generated by the nuclear power plant.

After the construction of the nuclear power plant was completed, Marie Curie, Qian Siqiang and others directly moved their work sites to the nuclear power plant. Nuclear reactors are now the focus of their research, the uranium enrichment plant is now presided over by Albert Einstein, and the two of them are focusing their efforts on nuclear reactors. As a platform for the use of nuclear energy, the working principle of the reactor and various work data need to be recorded in detail.

While visiting, listening to Qian Siqiang's introduction, Chen Shao also learned a lot. Nuclear energy is also a secret project in later generations. There is very little news that can be known by the outside world, and this is the first time Chen Shao has walked into such a project.

In nuclear power plants, as long as the reactor is not operating, not everywhere it is mandatory to wear chemical protective clothing. Once the reactor is in operation and begins to convert nuclear energy into electricity, it is basically necessary to wear chemical protective clothing as soon as it enters the nuclear power plant. Because of the slight nuclear radiation, everywhere.

And the fact that nuclear power plants must be kept away from people is one of the reasons, and there is another problem. In the event of a nuclear leak, or a nuclear power plant is attacked. And if there are inhabitants around, it is devastating to the inhabitants around it. Once a nuclear power plant is destroyed, it is no less than the explosion of a small-yield atomic bomb.

The Red Alert nuclear power plant is not invincible, and it only guarantees to reduce the risk of nuclear leakage, but it does not guarantee that the nuclear power plant will not be destroyed. Therefore, when Chen Shao chose the site to build the nuclear power plant, he directly chose to build it in a deserted place. At least one regiment of troops was sent to guard the entire plant, and no unrelated personnel were allowed to enter. Even the defenders could not enter the plant without the upper echelons allowing them to enter the plant.

Chen Shao didn't stay here for long, he was just curious about what the nuclear power plant looked like. After a few casual walks, Chen Shao got into a special car and left the nuclear power plant. Since coming to Fangchenggang, Chen Shao has always been in a good mood. Perhaps in the past two years, Chen Shao's mood has been very good.

However, while being happy, Chen Shao is also very much looking forward to the progress of uranium enrichment. In nine years, the abundance of uranium enrichment reached 25%, and subsequent uranium enrichment work will need to accumulate over a long period of time. And now, as long as the abundance rises by another 5% per year, Chen Shao is very satisfied. In just 13 years, it will be able to reach the weapon level, and at that time, the nuclear bomb will be China's biggest killer weapon. Whether it is a tactical nuclear bomb or a strategic nuclear bomb, it will be a nightmare for the enemy.
