Chapter 286: Nuclear Power Plant
On July 12, Zhou Yu was sitting in the office on official business.
Zhao Qianyi couldn't hide the excitement on his face, and walked into Zhou Yu's office and reported: "It's successful, Mr. Zhou, we've succeeded."
Zhou Yu saw Zhao Qianyi's excited expression, and he knew that Zhao Qianyi was studying the essence of the four fundamental forces in the microscopic realm, the nuclear force, and the application of this force.
The most basic unit of matter is the atom, and the interconnections between atoms are closely related to weak interaction forces.
The interaction forces that make up the nuclei of atoms are strong interaction forces, which closely bind the protons and neutrons that make up atoms.
Gravitational and electromagnetic forces do not play a dominant role in the microscopic field, but at most can change the state and trajectory of particles.
Strong and weak interaction forces, which work together to change the properties of a particle.
For example, new atoms are processed from protons and neutrons, and the weak interaction forces between atoms are adjusted to process new compounds that are extremely difficult to produce in chemical reactions.
The application of nuclear forces in the microscopic sphere, especially in the field of materials, plays a decisive role.
"Seeing how happy you look, it should be a major breakthrough in the nuclear power plant." Zhou Yu asked with a smile.
Zhao Qian nodded and affirmed: "Mr. Zhou, it is indeed a major breakthrough in the nuclear power plant, and we are now able to control the four basic forces and let them act according to our command under certain conditions."
I found a way to control nuclear power in the Degenerate State Lab, so I went back to the research center to build a nuclear power factory. ”
Zhou Yu immediately got up and said happily: "I'll go to the nuclear power plant to see, if he can really be put into use, then our company will no longer lack the top materials, and some stalled projects can be restarted."
He was overjoyed that every once in a while, the technology tree in his mind would fuse new technologies.
However, due to the limitations of the material, many technologies cannot be carried out.
This is also after Zhou Yu learned about the degenerate substance, he got this degenerate substance back at all costs, and invested trillions of yuan in research and development of the degenerate substance.
If it weren't for the continuous mining of the seabed by the floating city, these advanced minerals would not have been sold, and the development of degenerate substances by Xinghuo Technology would have gone bankrupt.
The theory of gravity and the unification theory of the four fundamental forces have just been completed.
Zhou Yu handed over the research of the nuclear power plant to Zhao Qianyi according to the nuclear power factory on the science and technology tree in his mind.
With the experimental path he designed, Zhao Qianyi really lived up to expectations and had developed the prototype of a nuclear power factory.
With the nuclear power factory, Xinghuo Technology's products will definitely usher in an explosion, and most of the projects that are constrained by materials can make breakthroughs.
Zhou Yu and Zhao Qianyi came to the nuclear power plant of the scientific research center.
The nuclear plant was not started, it was completely empty, empty buildings with nothing.
Not to mention the production line in the factory, there is not even an intelligent industrial robot.
Not only industrial robots, but also nuclear factories have no air, and they are in a complete vacuum.
This is to prevent substances in the air from mixing into the raw materials, resulting in impure processed products.
Zhou Yu was not surprised, nuclear power factories are like this, they are not processed with tools.
Instead, the nuclear force is used to process the object, and the processing of the object is completed through the gravitational force, the electromagnetic force, the strong interaction force, and the weak interaction force, which are the four fundamental forces.
Another feature of the nuclear power plant is that it can instantaneously change the process of processing, from a production line that processes one material to a production line that processes another.
The whole switching process is completely seamless, which is more convenient for the control of quantum computers.
"Mr. Zhou, please officially start the nuclear power plant.
We have cooperated with Xinghuo Intelligence to add the control system of the nuclear power factory to the quantum computer of the scientific research center.
All you need to do is connect to a quantum computer and verify the relevant permissions to control the operation of the nuclear power plant. ”
Zhou Yu immediately asked Xianghua to open the operation interface of the nuclear power plant, which was very simple.
There are only very simple control interfaces for starting, stopping, changing target products, raw material delivery selection, etc.
You only need to provide the raw materials and the items you want to process, and the nuclear power factory will automatically complete the processing process according to the program.
Zhou Yu wanted to verify the feasibility of a nuclear power plant, and he chose an item that was both simple and complex to process.
He chose to process ethylene with carbon dioxide, a reaction in which inorganic matter is processed from organic matter.
Ethylene is the most basic raw material for processing organic matter, and most of it was previously obtained by petroleum cracking.
After the oil industry was hit, scientists began to study the processing of ethylene from carbon dioxide, but the reaction was very complex and very difficult to process.
As a result, the price of ethylene has risen, and now the mainstream ethylene acquisition is still petroleum cracking.
Nuclear power plants can easily crush molecules and reassemble them.
After Zhou Yu pressed the start button of the nuclear power plant, two huge pipes suddenly rose on the left side of the nuclear power plant.
This pipe is the pipe that transports carbon oxide and water, and under the action of nuclear force, the molecules of carbon dioxide gas begin to crack into carbon atoms and oxygen atoms, and the water molecules also begin to crack into hydrogen atoms and oxygen atoms at the same time.
The carbon atom begins to combine with the hydrogen atom and becomes an ethylene molecule, and the remaining oxygen atom becomes oxygen.
Zhou Yu looked at the data monitored by the nuclear power plant, and he knew that this reaction was progressing quickly.
Zhao Qianyi said on the side: "Mr. Zhou, the processing gas can't be understood, and the effect of the nuclear power plant cannot be shown.
Our nuclear plant can process all raw materials, organic matter and silicon-based compounds, as well as metal crystal nanomaterials.
It can also process the artificial element ranium, the stable isotope of which is an important raw material for particle batteries.
The use of nuclear plants to process the element can reduce the price of particle batteries by 10,000 times. ”
When Zhou Yu heard Zhao Qianyi's words, he was shocked, the role of particle batteries is very important, if the cost can really be reduced, then electric energy can completely eliminate oil in the future.
Zhou Yu began to have the nuclear power plant process the stable isotope of the No. 115 man-made element ranium, which is the raw material for particle batteries.
A pipe rises again to the left of the nuclear plant, spewing out a large amount of pure water.
Pure water floats in the air under the gravitational pull and slowly moves forward.
It soon comes to the area of weak interaction processing, where the pure water begins to decompose into hydrogen and oxygen atoms under the guidance of the weak interaction force.
The hydrogen and oxygen atoms continue to float forward to a region controlled by the strong interaction force.
Here the nuclei begin to cleave into protons and neutrons and release a huge amount of energy, while the cracked protons and neutrons synthesize element 115, absorbing a huge amount of energy in the process.
The reaction zone controls the rate at which nuclei are cracked and new nuclei are formed, so that the energy released is generally controlled within a certain limit.
Soon the exit of the nuclear power plant was full of Element 115.
Seeing this situation, Zhou Yu asked worriedly: "The orderly creation of new atoms can control the total energy.
If there is an error in the equipment, resulting in the reaction process not being effectively controlled, and the energy released exceeds the limit, then it is not a large hydrogen bomb. ”
Zhao Qianyi explained with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, there is no need to worry about this at all, if they carry out a chain reaction or thermonuclear reaction under natural circumstances, they will release a huge amount of energy.
But our nuclear power plant processes new elements, not to react spontaneously, but to be guided by nuclear force.
In this process, a huge amount of energy needs to be absorbed, which is converted into four fundamental forces to control the reaction process.
Even if helium atoms are made from hydrogen atoms, there will be no thermonuclear reactions, and all energy releases are under control.
Mr. Zhou, to put it simply, is the reaction of our nuclear power plant, which can be regarded as a separate reflection between particles.
It does not undergo a chain reaction or a polymerization reaction, which is an energy-conducting reaction.
Once the nuclear plant stops the external energy supply, it is impossible to carry out any reaction.
It is precisely because it needs to absorb a huge amount of energy to process substances that it can only reduce the price of the element to 10,000 times. ”
Zhou Yu said lightly: "Safety is good, the first principle of the factory is to ensure safety."
