Next to the Lianhuashan Nuclear Power Plant in Haicheng County, the Nuclear Fusion Power Research Institute.

In the open laboratory, a nuclear fusion reactor, which is several times smaller than Jinwu No. 1, is installed in the middle of the laboratory.

More than a dozen researchers were busy debugging work, and Dong Kuan and Wei Feng were also on the side.

"Mingzhe, you're done with it over there," Wei Feng asked as he looked at the computer.

"Just finished busy."

Wei Feng, who stopped what he was doing, remembered one thing: "By the way, why did you install a neutrino barrier layer in the reactor?"

"It's classified." Huang Mingzhe replied directly.

As soon as he heard that it was a secret, Wei Feng did not break the idea of asking the casserole to the end, so he changed the topic: "This prototype is already the smallest size at present. "(7)(8) Chinese is the fastest update on the whole network ωωω.78zω.cδм

After receiving the design report, Huang Mingzhe scanned it at a glance and ten lines, and will memorize these materials and add them to the nuclear fusion knowledge system.

Immediately sparks of inspiration, countless knowledge bodies collided and blended fiercely in the brainstorming, and the nuclear fusion knowledge body became closer and closer to perfection.

However, the perfection of the evolution of the body of knowledge is also the perfection of theory, and in fact, the problem of materials is definitely an obstacle.

He quickly turned on the computer, entered the virtual world through the brainwave glasses, and started the simulation space to assist in the design.

In the simulation space, Huang Mingzhe burst out with engineering design abilities that are difficult for ordinary people to achieve, especially with the assistance of ghosts.

The various systems of the fusion reactor have been reorganized by him from beginning to end, and they are based on the materials currently available, and the design is improved.

Six hours later.

A new fusion reactor appeared in the simulation space, and through the simulation experiment system, the new fusion reactor is running rapidly.

Whenever there is a vulnerability or operational problem, the problem can be quickly analyzed, and according to these tips, Huang Mingzhe can quickly adjust the design plan.

When he withdrew from Nanke's dream world, it was already dusk at sunset.

I stretched my waist and got up to move my body.

Wei Feng, who was on the side of the nuclear fusion reactor, saw Huang Mingzhe appear in the laboratory and asked, "How did you change your design?"

"You know it when you see it." Huang Mingzhe smiled and handed over a memory.

Wei Feng, who trotted over, took the memory and inserted it into the computer, and then a large number of design drawings appeared on the computer screen.

After watching for more than ten minutes, Wei Feng turned his head and stared at him: "Mingzhe, I want to cut open your brain and see if the structure is different from ordinary people." ”

"Haha......" Huang Mingzhe smiled and shook his head.

Dong Kuan on the side also laughed, Huang Mingzhe alone can complete their workload for several months, and even more perfect than them.

The smallest nuclear fusion reactor designed in front of them is a device with a length of 14 meters, a width and a height of about 6,000 tons.

This does not include the distribution station and substation, as well as other supporting facilities, if these supporting facilities are added, tens of thousands of tons are proper.

The designed annual power generation is 200~40 billion kWh per year.

With this volume and weight, it is possible to get on an aircraft carrier, but the only troublesome thing is the by-product of the nuclear fusion reactor, those neutron absorbers and the super heavy hydrogen produced.

In addition, the power generation system of the nuclear fusion reactor is also different from the nuclear fission reactor, which is still boiling water in the final analysis; Whereas, a nuclear fusion reactor generates electricity directly.

Installed on aircraft carriers, in addition to the problem of neutron absorbers and super heavy hydrogen, it is necessary to consider the problem of how to drive the propeller.

If you can't generate electricity, use it to boil water! Wouldn't that be a fart off your pants – too much.

Therefore, the aircraft carrier on the nuclear fusion reactor still needs to be verified, whether it is directly using electric propellers or steam turbines, which need to be carefully studied.

And Dong Kuan and others finished reading the nuclear fusion reactor newly designed by Huang Mingzhe, which is a real miniaturized nuclear fusion reactor.

The length, width and height are only about 5.3~5.5 meters, the weight is only about 320 tons, and the annual power generation is about 50~8 billion kilowatt hours.

"Mingzhe, how are you going to deal with the problem of neutron absorbers and super heavy hydrogen," Wei Feng asked as he looked at the blueprints.

"You open page 658 and there's a solution there."

After Wei Feng opened it, he looked at it for a while before he suddenly realized: "You are planning to use self-consumption to re-inject the super heavy hydrogen in the neutron absorber into the nuclear fusion reactor." ”

Dong Kuan also clapped his hands and praised:

"Wonderful! Wonderful! If it is used on ships or satellites, we should try to improve the self-sustaining and nuclear fuel utilization rate of the fusion reactor, which is very suitable for small nuclear fusion reactors. ”

However, Huang Mingzhe shook his head: "It's still too big, it's okay to get on the ship, but it's too heavy to get on the satellite." ”

"That's just as well." Dong Kuan nodded helplessly.

This year's improved version of the Long March 5B carrier rocket has a maximum payload of about 33 tons in low earth orbit, while the newly designed nuclear fusion reactor has about 320 tons, which is almost 10 times the difference.

"But it's not impossible." Huang Mingzhe had a smaller design plan for a long time, but the materials did not meet the requirements.

Wei Feng pondered his sentence carefully: "Your method will not be a superconductor at room temperature."

"Wei Fengye, who knows me." Huang Mingzhe explained with a smile: "At present, the weight of nuclear fusion reactors is mainly concentrated on superconductors, which account for 42% of the entire system. ”

"But the superconductor research institute of our thinking club doesn't seem to have much success." Wei Feng thought for a while and said.

If international counterparts heard Wei Feng's words, they would probably vomit blood.

At present, the superconductor research institute of the Thinking Society can mass-produce superconductors, which only need minus 15.6 degrees Celsius to generate superconducting magnetic fields, while the superconductors in the laboratory can already maintain superconducting magnetic fields at minus 3.7 degrees Celsius.

The superconductor required by Wei Feng can still maintain a superconducting magnetic field at 20~30 degrees Celsius.

Huang Mingzhe spread his hands and said: "For the time being, this can only be the case, you first get this nuclear fusion reactor of mine out, and then we will improve it step by step." ”

The nuclear fusion reactor developed by Wei Feng and them fell out of favor as soon as it came out, but the one they developed can still be used, and it is more suitable as a medium-sized nuclear fusion reactor.

In order to facilitate the division of nuclear fusion reactors, the nuclear fusion research institute is divided according to the annual power generation.

Very large nuclear fusion reactor: annual power generation of more than 1 trillion kilowatt hours.

Large-scale nuclear fusion reactor: the annual power generation is between 100 billion ~ 1 trillion kilowatt hours, such as the Jinwu type 1 and its improved type.

Medium-sized nuclear fusion reactor: the annual power generation is between 100~100 billion kilowatt hours, Wei Feng and their recently developed Jinwu II type.

Small nuclear fusion reactor: the annual power generation is between 10~10 billion kilowatt hours, and the Jinwu III designed by Huang Mingzhe is a reactor within this range.

Micro fusion reactors: Nuclear fusion reactors with an annual power generation capacity of less than 11 billion kilowatt hours are miniature reactors.

However, there are other reference values for these levels, particularly volume and weight, which are important for micro fusion reactors.

They can now also design reactors under 1 billion kilowatt hours, but the problem is that they have not reduced in size and weight, and they are not as good as small fusion reactors.

In the nuclear fusion laboratory, the prototype of the Jinwu II is being tested, while the Jinwu III is entering the construction stage.
