It's February 23, 2020.

The underground plaza where the tokamak device was used has now been turned into the site of Jinwu No. 1.

The tokamak device, which had no bird use, was dismantled by Qinling Plasma, and those room temperature superconductors that could still be used were sold to the X-ray base next door for reconstruction, and by the way, a large amount of money was recovered.

Together with the other items of the tokamak device, a total of 12.6 billion Martian coins were recovered, which were used to build Jinwu 1.

Liu Jing watched the progress of the Jinwu 1 process, and these days they have conducted six nuclear fusion power generation tests and obtained a lot of valuable data.

The critical point at which the DD fusion reaction was determined, as well as the point at which the DD fusion reaction would not enter the helium fusion stage.

In addition, they found the phenomenon of super-optical radiation, which explains the over-predicted data of the optical radiation dose, in which neutrons and electrons continue to release a part of the mass-conversion photons after being further squeezed by the accumulated pressure because they cannot escape the vacuum cavity.

In the pressure-DD nuclear fusion reaction, the energy output of optical radiation reaches about 56%, and about 27% of the energy is converted into heat, which will be conducted out through NN-8-1.

The remaining 17% of the energy is electrons, atomic kinetic energy, neutron kinetic energy, neutrinos, and the like, which are difficult to use.

Light radiation can be used to generate electricity from lasers, while heat energy can only be used to generate electricity with boiling water temporarily.

"I've designed a pretty good design, right?" Zhang Huaide pointed to Jinwu No. 1 and said.

"Very good." Liu Jingguan had no doubts about Zhang Huaide's ability.

Compared with the first prototype they tested, the layout and appearance are very different, the prototype is lying on the ground, while the Jinwu 1 is vertical.

Jinwu No. 1 is composed of four vertical vacuum chambers. In order to boil water and generate electricity with lasers, the vacuum chamber is specially designed with a reflective film on the side of the entire rugby-shaped vacuum chamber, which reflects most of the light radiation of nuclear fusion.

The direction design of this reflective film was designed by Zhang Huaide with the help of the Institute of Optics, and after hundreds of thousands of simulations by the supercomputing center, this scheme was designed.

Through these specially designed reflective films, the optical radiation generated by nuclear fusion can be concentrated in three directions outside, forming three windows for the release of light radiation.

Four vacuum chambers, a total of 12 optical radiation release windows, these optical radiation release windows, will understand the laser power generation pipeline.

The reason why it is designed as a laser power generation pipeline is mainly to avoid excessive light radiation dose and burn the power generation equipment, and through a laser power generation pipeline with a length of 800 meters, the energy of light radiation is converted into electrical energy layer by layer, so as to achieve the purpose of dispersing the light radiation dose.

As for how to boil water, it is even more simple and crude, the vacuum chamber is modified to make a material with very good thermal conductivity, and then all four vacuum chambers are immersed in fresh water.

It is equivalent to the boiler directly encapsulating four vacuum chambers and a part of the laser power generation pipe.

Judging from the design drawings, the height of the vacuum chamber is 6.4 meters and the maximum radius is 1.6 meters, while the boiler area has a radius of 16 meters and a height of 15 meters.

There are also two steam turbine power generation systems next to the boiler area.

According to the design, the four vacuum chambers do not work together, but similar to the working principle of an engine, injecting DD - neutron compression - fusion release energy - excreting helium ash, these four links reciprocate in the four vacuum chambers.

The DD injection port is above the vacuum chamber and the helium ash discharge port is below the vacuum chamber.

Although Zhang Huaide has designed many tokamak devices and stellarators, the design of the neutron press is still the first time that a big girl has been on a sedan chair, so the reaction capacity of the design is one kilogram DD in a single chamber.

A single chamber cycle is 20 minutes at a time, because the time taken to inject DD, neutron compression, and discharge helium ash is very short, generally the No. 1 and No. 3 vacuum chambers are fusion and energy release, and the No. 2 and No. 4 vacuum chambers do the other three links.

This is equivalent to four vacuum chambers, two of which will release energy at the same time, consuming 2 kg of DD raw material for every 20 minutes.

"You're all here!"

Zhang Huaide and Liu Jingguan, who were talking, knew who was coming as soon as they heard the voice.

"Fei Suo, you are finally willing to come back." Zhang Huaide turned around and joked.

"Not only did I come back, but I also brought the laser power generation equipment of Jinwu No. 1, and the steam turbine power generation system is still being customized, so I customized the relevant equipment to China National Nuclear Corporation and First Heavy Industry." Fei Anming said with a smile.

Since the Galaxy Consortium does not have a steam turbine manufacturing enterprise, Fei Anming needs to customize it from China National Nuclear Corporation and First Heavy Industry.

"Fei Suo, it's just the right time for you to come back, the vacuum chamber, neutron condensate generator, DD injection system, helium ash discharge system, and control system of Jinwu No. 1 have all been completed." Liu Jingguan explained the situation to Fei Anming.

"So all that's left now is the boiler system, the laser power generation system, the steam turbine system and the substation system?" Fei Anming asked.

"Complete these four systems, and Jinwu 1 will almost be completed." Liu Jingguan nodded and said.

"So what are you waiting for, the laser power generation system has arrived in our warehouse." Fei Anming's appearance was more anxious than Liu Jingguan.

"Fei Suo, the laser power generation system will not run again, when will the steam turbine and substation equipment be developed?" Zhang Huaide asked.

"The substation equipment will arrive next week, and it will be produced by a subsidiary of Guodian, and the steam turbine may not arrive until April." Fei Anming said helplessly.

"Then wait a minute! Just take advantage of this time to improve and optimize Jinwu No. 1. Liu Jingguan also knows that large-scale steam turbine systems need to be customized, and this kind of thing can only be customized and produced, otherwise which manufacturer would dare to produce in advance.

However, domestic manufacturers that can produce 1 million kilowatts of supercritical steam turbine generator sets have made a lot of money this time, and the Qinling Plasma Research Institute has placed an order for as many as 60 units at once.

Don't think that the 1 million kilowatt supercritical steam turbine generator set is very ordinary, this thing is the top level in the world.

You must know that Dongtang was the largest thermal power station in China, with a total installed capacity of only 6.5 million kilowatts, which is equivalent to 6.5 supercritical steam turbine generator sets of 1 million kilowatts.

The Qinling Plasma Research Institute ordered 60 units at once, which shows how huge it is.

As for whether 60 1 million kilowatt supercritical steam turbine generator sets are too much, in fact, it is not much at all, because every 20 minutes consumes 2 kg of DD, an hour is 6 kg DD, 6 kg DD nuclear fusion, which can produce huge heat.

The comprehensive power generation efficiency of boiling water is about 40%, and 40% is 56 million kilowatt hours, which can be met by at least 56 supercritical steam turbine generator sets of 1 million kilowatts.

The remaining 4 units are standby units.

Jinwu 1 can generate about 480 billion kilowatt hours of electricity a year just by boiling water to generate electricity.

The laser power generation system is expected to generate 1.7 trillion kilowatt hours of electricity a year.

The two systems should add up to 2.18 trillion kWh, and the total domestic power generation in Dongtang in 2019 was 13.4 trillion kWh.

From here, it can be seen that nuclear fusion power generation is terrible, a Jinwu 1 consumes 52 tons of DD nuclear fuel a year, which can produce 2.18 trillion kilowatt hours of electricity.

The cost of 1 ton of DD nuclear fuel is 400 million Mars coins, and 52 tons is 20.8 billion Mars coins, which is equivalent to 104 kWh of electricity The fuel cost is 1 Mars coin.

Don't forget how DD nuclear fuel is produced, it is produced through multiple distillation electrolysis, and the cheap electricity produced by nuclear fusion to produce DD nuclear fuel can reduce the production cost of DD nuclear fuel, which is simply a perfect virtuous circle.

Once Jinwu No. 1 is officially put into use, the price of electricity will really be extremely cheap, and the cost of electricity will be reduced, which can effectively reduce all production costs and form a virtuous circle.
