Chapter 402: Confusion
The test run, which took place on March 15, lasted six hours.
Once again, the Qinling Plasma Research Institute has obtained a lot of valuable data, especially the test of superconducting magnetic fluids.
After Zhang Huaide looked at the data, he found another problem: "Chief engineer, I found that the boiler water temperature is not very uniform, the water temperature in the area near the neutron pressing reactor is as high as 870~900 degrees Celsius, and the water temperature in the edge area is 650~700 degrees Celsius. ”
"The center and edges are heated unevenly, and I think we can work on the ferrofluid power generation pipeline, we can arrange the magnetic fluid power generation pipe in various areas of the boiler to form an even distribution and avoid uneven heating." Liu Jingguan said.
"It seems that these ferrofluid power generation pipelines need to be carefully designed." Zhang Huaide knows that a system cannot be perfect from the beginning.
Just like the steam engine, the thermal efficiency was very low at the beginning, but after so many years of human transformation, the most efficient steam turbine can already be compared to the internal combustion engine.
Liu Jingguan and Zhang Huaide were discussing how to improve Jinwu No. 1.
Not far away, everyone in the delegation was sighing at the strength of Jinwu No. 1.
"Fei Suo, can you sell us a prototype?" Shen Beihai said cheekily.
"Sell you a prototype? I can't call the shots on this matter, and I need to report it to the management committee of the institute. Fei Anming thought about it and replied.
"Then please." Shen Beihai thanked first.
Shen Beihai, Yang Gang, and Li Chong, who are academics, still have relatively simple ideas about this matter, but Fang Dongliang, Du Lidao, and Qi Anbang are different, and the position determines the angle from which they look at things.
"Controlled nuclear fusion is more influential than mass projectors, and we need to think about it carefully." Qi Anbang said with a solemn face.
"That's true." Du Lidao also nodded.
After all, the current energy pattern of the world is still the coexistence of primary energy sources such as oil, coal and natural gas, and secondary energy sources such as electric energy.
The realization of controlled nuclear fusion will inevitably make the energy status of oil, coal and natural gas plummet, such as the northern natural gas pipeline and heating project that has been grinding before, Mao Xiong has been bargaining, and even wants to use this as a condition to obtain a share of the mass projector.
Now the negotiations on this project have been suspended, because controlled nuclear fusion has been realized, and it is enough to boil water directly with electricity, and only then can it be heated by natural gas.
"It must be done, but it can't be rushed." The beams set the tone.
"If you follow the scale of Jinwu No. 1's power generation, the country can build six Jinwu No. 1, in fact, there is no need for so much, after all, our solar, wind and hydropower accounts for about 69% of the country's power generation." Du Lidao said.
"I have an idea, since I have to cut down all the thermal power stations, otherwise the waste will be used." Qi Anbang said suddenly.
"What good advice does Deputy Qi have?" Fang Dongliang asked.
Qi Anbang said his thoughts: "The steam turbine of the thermal power station can be dismantled and installed on the nuclear fusion power station, I just looked at the water temperature and pressure of the boiler of Jinwu No. 1, they are designed for supercritical steam turbines, if the steam turbine of the thermal power station can be reused, it can save some money." ”
"This can be considered." Du Lidao agrees with Qi Anbang's idea.
"You are more good at professional things, I won't mix blindly, we are divided into two ways, Mr. Du, you and a few experts will stay at the Qinling Plasma Research Institute for the time being, and I will go to Beiping with Deputy Minister Qi." Fang Dongliang commanded.
"Yes."
The delegation was divided into two that night, Fang Dongliang and Qi Anbang quickly set off to Beijing, while Du Lidao and the four stayed behind.
In the laboratory of prototype No. 2, Shen Beihai and others, who had just finished eating, were communicating with Liu Jingguan, who were colleagues before and were quite familiar.
"Wait and see, let's discuss this neutron squeezing method, will it leak secrets?" Shen Beihai is still very disciplined, after all, this kind of thing involves the secret of controlled nuclear fusion.
"Haha, don't worry! Even if I put all the information in front of you, you won't be able to copy it without the NN-8-1 material. Liu Jingguan said with a smile.
"Uh...... Wait and see, you don't have to hit us much! Shen Beihai smiled bitterly, if others heard this, they might have to turn their faces directly.
"Seriously, our chairman has at least 80% of the credit for this technology." Liu Jingguan is very self-aware.
"Why? Didn't you come up with the neutron squeezing method?" Yang Gang asked in surprise on the side.
"The neutron squeezing method is indeed proposed by me, but the NN-8-1 material is developed by the chairman, and I am studying the NN-8-1 material when I inadvertently observe the working principle of the diesel engine, and then I proposed the neutron squeezing method." Liu Jingguan explained.
"I see." Yang Gang suddenly realized.
Without NN-8-1 material, it is more difficult to achieve neutron squeezing than tokamak devices.
It can be seen that materials science is the foundation of most technologies, no matter how perfect it is in theory, in order to implement it in practice, materials must keep up, otherwise it will be a castle in the air.
"This NN-8-1 material should not have been developed specifically for controlled nuclear fusion in the first place, right?" Shen Beihai reacted immediately.
"It's true that it wasn't developed for controlled nuclear fusion, this material is used to make condensed matter shields." Liu Jingguan didn't hide anything, after all, the characteristics of the NN-8-1 material were there, and Shen Beihai and they would know it sooner or later.
"Condensed Matter Shield?" Shen Beihai thought about it, and after a while, he said with some uncertainty: "This condensed matter shield can resist nuclear fusion, which means that it is also suitable for mushroom egg defense. ”
Liu Jingguan nodded.
Shen Beihai and the three of them immediately shook their heads and smiled bitterly, using degenerate materials as shields is indeed difficult to crack with the current methods of human beings.
After they communicated for most of the night, Shen Beihai and the three finally had a preliminary understanding of the technical principles of the neutron squeezing method.
……
March 16th.
Fang Dongliang and Qi Anbang, who rushed to Beiping overnight, didn't even rest, so they reported the relevant situation that had been sorted out.
No one knows what they talked about, but the project for a fusion power station began to be secretly set up in less than three days under the leadership of the Ministry of Energy.
I also communicated with Huang Haojie a few times, but these PY transactions must be difficult for ordinary people to know.
The initial plan in China is to build two Jinwu No. 1 nuclear fusion power stations, and as for the follow-up plan, it will be necessary to see the effect of these two nuclear fusion power stations.
However, in order to confuse the public, the management committee of the Eastern Tang Academy of Sciences and the Galaxy Research Institute began to talk about it, and then the gods from all walks of life also came down in person.
One says controlled nuclear fusion is close to success, the other says it's a fantasy, and the two sides are talking about it.
Anyway, there are brick scholars at both ends of the three days to come out to swipe the screen, and the scientists' scolding war is very hardcore, today's debate on neutron irradiation, tomorrow's debate plasma vortex, so that the people who eat melons are dazzled, and they feel unclear.
This kind of scolding war in the air has indeed relieved many people, if it really succeeds, they will not fight each other here, and directly put out controlled nuclear fusion, facts speak louder than words.
As for the 60 steam turbine generator sets, Neutron Star Materials Company has come out to refute the rumors, saying that this is intended for use in the Qinling X-ray base to upgrade the production line of superconductors at room temperature.
In this way, the heat of controlled nuclear fusion has been stirred up again.
