Chapter 378: Question

When Cai Siqiang was busy in Bangladesh, Duke, who had completed the introduction task, returned to Chengdu. For him, if he is not specifically designated for business matters, his usual approach is basically not to meddle. This is not only afraid of trouble, but also self-aware.

It's just that even if Duke returns to Rongcheng, it is difficult to live a stable life, the miniaturization design of the lotus pile is basically completed, and now it is in the simulation verification test, Duke has to go to the scene to supervise and check, this is a key project of the military, the military boss Liu has great expectations for this, and the project team does not have the capital of a genius like Duke.

Therefore, everyone does not dare to be as indifferent as Duke, for them, this is a military order that can only succeed and cannot fail, and no one dares to complete the finalized design without Duke to check the project team before finalizing and establishing the experimental reactor.

The project team of Lotus Dui miniaturization is located in Duke's island Lotus Dui base, and it is winter, and Duke has brought his family and Shu Ya to this resort-like base, where the winter is as warm as spring, and it is a paradise compared to the cold weather in Chengdu.

When I came to the base, I just cleaned up and stopped, and Professor Zhu Yunqian, the expert in charge of the project team, came to the door.

"Duke, I'm really sorry, things are a little tight," Professor Zhu Yunqian said apologetically, it stands to reason that Duke should be given a little rest time before getting down to business, but the construction period of this project is a little tight I heard that there are already several warships on the navy side and are now stopping the construction of the power system of the original design, waiting for the nuclear power system to come out.

"It's okay, Professor Zhu, you can talk about something" Duke didn't think so, anyway, he came to work, and now that the family is here, the old people can take good care of Shu Ya, and there is really nothing he needs to interfere in life.

"We have completed the first round of simulation verification, and now there are some simulation results that are a little different from what we expected, so I am anxious to find you, an expert, to see if there is something abnormal in the design," Professor Zhu heard Duke say, and then explained his intentions.

"Let's go to the lab." When Duke heard this, he knew that he couldn't explain it here, so he said simply.

In the laboratory, Duke carefully studied Professor Zhu's data, and secretly verified these things through Kerry, and soon Kerry returned the results, the existing modeling obtained by using the lotus pile is not very practical for some parameter selection of the miniaturized lotus pile, and the range is too large, so there is no problem with the design, and the problem is the selection of the parameter range of the simulation model.

Duke pointed to the questionable parameter range selection, "There may be problems with these parameters, after all, after miniaturization, the output power is much smaller than that of the real lotus pile, and there is no need for such a large pressure tolerance range, which should be somewhat different from the lotus pile in these aspects, so the parameter range selection should not be so large." ”

The experts of the project team got Duke's analysis conclusion, and after discussing it, they were ready to re-design the simulation test plan according to Duke's suggestion, and now there is no supercomputer on the base, so after everyone has designed the simulation plan, they have to send the plan back to the No. 7 project site for simulation testing.

Speaking of which, thanks to Duke, now we have such good conditions for nuclear reaction research, which can be simulated and verified by a supercomputer after the design is completed, and compared with the original research method, the research of a new nuclear reactor will save at least more than 3 years.

It can be said that since the results of Project No. 7, the research on nuclear reactions in China is now basically on par with the hardware conditions of foreign countries, and since then domestic nuclear reaction research has really embarked on the fast track of rapid development.

In an extremely secretive small circle, the new high-yield ultimate weapon, which was originally planned to be finalized in 2020, is said to be completed in 2016 at the earliest, and no later than 2017.

Of course, Duke doesn't have to be "involved" in these extremely confidential things.

"It seems that there must be a simulation research system here, otherwise this will affect the progress of the project too much" Zhu Yunqian couldn't help but complain when he saw that Duke really saw the problem. But he also knew that it was impossible for the authorities to build another supercomputer system here for his project team.

The cost of a supercomputer system is not a small number, and now there are only a handful of sets built in a few key places in China.

Hearing Professor Zhu say this, Duke couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart. It is unlikely that another supercomputer will be built here, but if we use a distributed method, through dozens of sets of supercomputer workstations, and use distributed technology, we will have a way to build a supercomputer-like system.

Now the lotus stack here can stably output more than 30MW of electricity, and there will be no problems in terms of energy, while the supersmall machine purchase limit is much less, and there is a lot of room for modification.

"Professor Zhu, I have such an idea, do you think it is feasible?" After sorting out his thoughts a little, Duke exchanged his thoughts with Professor Zhu. After listening to Duke's plan, Professor Zhu couldn't help but be moved, but after calculating the cost in his heart a little, he still shook his head and said.

"Duke, there is no problem with your idea, but according to your plan, you want to complete a full set of construction, without hundreds of millions of yuan of expenditure, it is not much cheaper than buying a new supercomputer system, and the project team has limited funds, so it is impossible to apply for so much construction funds."

There is no way, now the military has too many actions, and money is needed everywhere, and it is impossible to invest all the funds in one project, and Professor Zhu is confident that there is a way to solve the increase in expenses by three or five million, but if the expenditure is increased by hundreds of millions, then there is no need to think about it, it will definitely not work.

"Money is not an issue." Duke smiled and said, "I can solve all the purchase costs of these super small machines, I only have one condition, after solving the problem of the first generation of miniaturization of the lotus stack, the project team stayed to continue to assist me in the technical research work of the second generation of the lotus stack, and now I have a general idea, I can increase the efficiency of the existing first generation of the lotus stack by more than 50 percent." ”
