Chapter 448: Neutrino Communication
When Zhu Bingwen heard the report of his subordinates, he immediately checked the test data of the silicon gold transistor.
After reading it, I found that the test data perfectly met my design requirements. The indicators are still faintly exceeded.
With a smile on his face, he ordered: "Immediately install the equipment and prepare to start the first experiment of the thorium-based molten salt pile." I feel that this time there is a great hope for success. ”
Li Hao saw the staff installing the core machine of the nuclear reactor.
He asked Academician Zhu Bingwen: "Academician Zhu, why do you use silicon gold crystal tubes, are other materials not easy to use?" An ordinary nuclear reactor only needs alloy tubes. ”
Academician Zhu Bingwen sighed and said, "We have tried a variety of materials before, but none of them met the design requirements.
Because the heat can be transferred quickly, the temperature of the core machine of the nuclear reactor is not too high to reach the temperature of the core melting.
From this point of view, this nuclear reactor is safe, and the selection of materials is large.
But what we made was a miniature nuclear reactor, and the whole nuclear reactor was just wrapped in a thin layer of metal.
It is impossible to build concrete walls several meters thick, as in a normal nuclear power plant.
Such miniature nuclear reactors are to be commercially operated.
Nor can he be operated by professionals in heavy protective suits, like the nuclear reactors of nuclear submarines.
The officers and men of the submarine carried out routine operation and maintenance of the nuclear reactor at a high level of radiation, hoping only that the protective clothing would withstand the nuclear radiation.
A superpower that can build nuclear submarines, which country does not have a military soul.
The military men of the submarine can almost be said to be in a race to death. The living environment of nuclear submarines is even harsher, and if you are not careful, you will be silent under the ocean.
They can tolerate higher levels of radiation in a way that ordinary people can't do. More advanced radiation-resistant materials must be used.
I went to your research building today to look for materials, and I found that silicon gold crystals can perfectly shield all kinds of nuclear radiation.
This is the ideal application material for miniature nuclear reactors. ”
After listening to Academician Zhu Bingwen's explanation, Li Hao immediately understood the reason why Academician Zhu chose Silicon Gold Crystal.
Or for the sake of safety, such miniature nuclear reactors must be applied to delivery vehicles.
No one wants to endure nuclear radiation and take a transport.
Li Hao saw that the staff of the nuclear physics laboratory installed the equipment, and all of them were mechanized.
He asked Academician Zhu Bingwen: "Academician Zhu, why do you use mechanical methods for this installation?"
With current technology, the use of electronic assistance should ensure adequate safety. ”
"We have a complete set of control software for nuclear power plants, and today we use the method of mechanical installation.
It is only to verify that in extreme cases, the mechanical means are reliable.
Only the electronic and mechanical control systems did not have any problems. The safety of nuclear reactors can be guaranteed sufficiently. Academician Zhu Bingwen briefly introduced.
By the time he finished speaking, the staff had already installed the equipment for the nuclear power plant.
It was only seen that this nuclear power plant began to conduct self-tests, preparing to start a miniature nuclear reactor.
While waiting for the self-inspection process of the nuclear power plant, Li Hao saw that the staff began to arrange various detectors here.
He suddenly noticed a group of people wearing the uniforms of employees in the research building.
The new trademark of Qingci Technology on it, the small gourd tied with a Chinese knot is clearly visible.
From the style of the gourd, he could see at a glance that this belonged to the R&D personnel.
As far as Li Hao knows, the staff of the nuclear physics laboratory deploys these devices.
The main purpose is to explore the radiation environment of the surrounding space when a nuclear reaction is initiated.
But these new employees of the scientific research building, Li Hao didn't know what they did.
Academician Zhu Bingwen saw Li Hao's puzzled gaze.
He asked Li Hao, "Mr. Li, don't you know them?" This is not the staff of the physics lab in your research building.
We work with the Research Building, and I'm not the only one who goes to you to find valuable materials.
Your researchers there also borrow the good conditions of our nuclear physics laboratory.
These are the Neutrino Communication Project group, and when a nuclear reaction takes place, a large number of neutrinos are produced, which is used in their research work.
They come here to deploy experimental equipment to try to capture neutrinos in the environment.
This is not the first time they have experimented, I simply asked. Every experiment pays off. ”
When Li Hao heard Academician Zhu Bingwen's introduction, he immediately knew the identities of these people.
Now the scientific research of Qingci Technology has been formalized.
There are too many scientific research plans, and Li Hao just left a general impression of the project he approved.
The specific details of the research, before the results appeared, Li Hao really didn't know very well.
"I see, this is indeed our company's scientific research team.
I thought they were capturing neutrinos in natural space, but they were collecting them in your physics lab.
Now that I think about it, this approach is the right one.
After all, nuclear reactions produce a large number of neutrinos. Enough for them to do data analysis. Li Hao responded simply.
He knew that neutrino communication was one of several advanced means of communication that the company was researching.
The most investment should be in quantum communication, but this means of communication has the most technical barriers.
Now the company is developing multiple means of communication in parallel to adapt to different situations.
The adaptability of each means of communication varies depending on the environment in which it is used.
Li Hao remembers that he translated a technology for debugging particles.
He directly threw this technology to Bi Ye for research. The rapid development of neutrino communication should be related to this technology.
The use of neutrino carrier information for communication, as long as the neutrino loading and debugging technology is solved, it is a very good means of communication.
A neutrino is a neutral elementary particle with a very small mass and no charge.
It can travel in a straight line at nearly the speed of light, and can easily penetrate steel, seawater, and even the entire earth, with very little energy loss of its own.
If this communication technology is successful, only a few base stations need to be arranged in the universe. to achieve global communication.
Li Hao saw that the experimenters had finished deploying the equipment and gradually withdrew from the room.
He and Academician Zhu Bingwen also exited the room and waited for the miniature nuclear reactor to start.
After they exited the room, the entire room was sealed. Prevent the leakage of nuclear radiation due to accidental equipment.
While waiting outside, Li Hao saw the leader of the neutrino communication project team.
Called him over and asked, "You are Jiang Xun in charge of neutrino communication, how is the current technology research?" ”
Jiang Xun immediately replied respectfully: "Mr. Li, we are now working on neutrino capture technology.
It is estimated that enough data has been collected in a few experiments to try to complete the construction of the neutrino communication technology network. ”
"Keep up the good work, I'm optimistic about your research." Li Hao encouraged.
He gave him a word of encouragement, and his eyes were fixed on the light curtain on the wall next to him.
Because Academician Zhu Bingwen is already preparing to start a miniature nuclear reactor.
