Chapter 315 Reactor Management System

"Every thing that happens gives rise to something else, and it's the subtle chain reaction of one thing after another that shapes the nature we have now."

"Nano programming is just like these natural reactions, as long as we make good use of these natural reactions through advance calculation and design, we can naturally achieve the effect we want."

After listening to Chen Shen, Ding Zhiyi looked at the information in his hand and felt that Chen Shen was talking about a myth.

To put it bluntly, this so-called nanoprogramming is processed through the control of chain reactions between various compounds, but the reactions used in this system are complex and cumbersome, and the requirements for a degree of fineness are unprecedented.

However, at the moment, Chen Shen is pulling this banner, which seems to have raised the style of the whole technology at once, and it sounds very incredible.

Seeing that Ding Zhiyi stopped talking, and didn't know if he had no doubts about the source of inspiration for the technology or didn't know what to say, Chen Shen took the initiative to ask about other things.

"How is the production equipment ready now?"

Ding Zhiyi immediately came back to his senses and replied: "Now we are already seeking technical support from various research institutes, but it is estimated that it will take some time to produce equipment that meets the requirements in the document." ”

"Is the speed of completing the design in two months and completing the construction of the production line in two months?"

Chen Shen asked.

It is not easy to meet the production of nanothrusters.

Generally speaking, the nano production method after the completion of programming has extremely high requirements for production, often in the same production step, the equipment is required to provide a different environment at any time to facilitate the smooth progress of the chain reaction chain, and any ultra-high pressure vacuum environment is only the basic requirement......

This kind of equipment is a super stitching monster, almost all the functions that are not in the current industrial system, large and small, are brought together, and they are required to not conflict with each other.

It is not impossible to make such a device with the current domestic capabilities, but the design is a problem.

There are too many technical issues involved in these functions, and it is certainly impossible for the people in the nanogroup to fully understand them, so they can only do some overall work and bring together all the institutions that have the conditions to design to discuss the design.

Ding Zhiyi thought for a while, "The design will be completed in two months...... This can be a bit difficult, but I'll give you feedback on the schedule. ”

"Although the equipment I asked for is complex, the difficulty of design and construction is not big for the domestic level, you ask the design team not to think too much, and directly pile up the functions we need on the equipment to ensure that they do not conflict."

"As for the size of the production line and the size of the equipment, it is not necessary to consider now, and when the process and technology are mature in the future, it is not too late to slowly improve in the future, as long as the production can be completed now."

Ding Zhiyi immediately agreed, saying that he would immediately inform the design team of this latest request.

In the next few days, the three team leaders stayed in the base to communicate with Chen Shen about the details of the entire project, and at the same time remotely controlled the work arrangements of other nodes in China.

Chen Shen runs on both sides of the project, sometimes attending a nuclear reactor demonstration meeting in the morning and dealing with the Tibetan antelope project in the afternoon.

On this day, Tang Huacong, who was in charge of the spaceship body technology, came over.

He's here to report on work.

"At present, we have set up the plasma reactor system mentioned by the chief engineer in the rear according to the requirements, and from the preliminary test results, the output energy and overall weight are within the expected range."

"Mm-hmm, that's good." Chen Shen nodded, "The design of the reactor management system should also be paid attention to, I have only one requirement for the first-generation management system, and that is safety." ”

Tang Huacong nodded, "This is already in the design, and there are seventeen different directions in the design at the same time, and when the design is completed, we will conduct experiments again and select the best one." ”

For Chen, it was not difficult to design a plasma reactor system.

Essentially, this thing is the same as the battery pack used in electric vehicles outside, which is stacked on top of each other in order to increase the total amount of energy and energy output.

It's just that the Tibetan Antelope uses a "battery" like a plasma reactor.

The so-called reactor management system, like the battery management system on the electric vehicle, is a system that monitors and manages each plasma reactor gathered on the aircraft in real time.

It will monitor the voltage, current and temperature inside the plasma reactor, and will remind and deal with the fault as soon as the reactor fails.

For example, if a plasma reactor fails in the plasma system, it can reawaken the plasma reactor or shield it from the system so as not to affect other normal reactors, so as to maintain the normal operation of the energy system.

In short, if the Tibetan Antelope is compared to a mobile phone, then this reactor management system is the operating system of the Tibetan Antelope, without which the Tibetan Antelope would not be able to fly.

And if this system is well designed, it can also increase the range of the Tibetan Antelope through precise energy control.

However, Chen Shen is not expecting this effect now, he only requires that the system is reliable enough, and it can be dealt with in a timely manner when the system fails, and there will be no "one core is difficult, and the whole family is watching" This situation affects flight safety.

After reporting his work, Tang Huacong did not leave, but talked about another thing.

"Chief Master, I think it would be better to change the aerodynamic shape of the Tibetan Antelope."

Chen Shen looked up at him.

Tang Huacong continued: "The current aerodynamic shape is too slow to fly in the atmosphere, and I feel that the vertical take-off and landing is a bit too early for us now. ”

"If we change the aerodynamic shape of the Black Antelope to a streamlined shape, and change the take-off and landing mode to horizontal take-off and landing, then its speed in the atmosphere will definitely be greatly improved."

And as he spoke, Tang Huacong suddenly smiled, "As for what pneumatic shape to use, we already have certain research results internally, maybe we can talk to that project." ”

Chen Shen listened to Tang Huacong's words and did not immediately refute them.

Indeed, Tang Huacong's words make sense.

The plasma version of the Tibetan Antelope is too slow, according to Chen Shen's current calculations, the Tibetan Antelope can fly at a speed of less than 1,000 kilometers per hour with a payload of about two tons.

To be honest, this speed will go to the International Space Station to deliver couriers before it goes out of the atmosphere......
