Chapter 182: Survey Telescope, Nuclear Power Plant
In the afternoon, Su Zhe and his entourage came to the electric vehicle automation factory.
Like visiting the lithium-sulfur battery automation factory, Su Zhe and his entourage visited the electric vehicle automation factory accompanied by a special person.
Compared with the lithium-sulfur battery automation factory, the electric vehicle automation factory has more plants, and more people participate in the construction and construction.
After visiting the electric vehicle automation factory, Su Zhe and his entourage looked at the many automated factories that were laying the foundation.
According to Zhou Dashi's explanation, these automated factories that are laying the foundation are basically supporting factories for electric vehicle parts.
After visiting these, the time has come to five o'clock in the afternoon.
By this time, it was already a little dark.
After dinner, the group went back to their respective accommodations.
Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming lay on their respective beds after a simple wash.
"I'm really tired today, and I've walked a lot." Fan Xiaoming said while lying on the bed.
"Yes!" Su Zhe lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling of the room and said, "To be honest, we usually lack exercise...... But then again, the lithium-sulfur battery automation factory and the electric vehicle automation factory are doing well, and I look forward to the early commissioning of the two automation factories. ”
"It should be done well, after all, so much money has been invested and a lot of manpower and material resources have been mobilized." Fan Xiaoming said, "Right now, more than one million people have directly participated in the development and construction of the Tamu Gobi. ”
"Yes!" Su Zhe smiled, "I think it's good that the super factory aims to optimize the manufacturing process, develop new technologies, and cultivate talents. ”
"Yes! I think so, too. Fan Xiaoming said with certainty, "By the way, the three survey telescopes to be launched the day after tomorrow are in the final assembly, are you interested in going to the satellite launch center to see the site again?" After all, you also participated in the development of this survey telescope. ”
"I just gave my opinion." Su Zhe thought for a while and said, "There is no need to go to the site, the three satellite launch centers were launched on the same day, and it would be good for you to go to that site and watch it through the SS-defense system." ”
The three survey telescopes are of the same size, and their dead weight is 23 tons.
On the afternoon of January 27, the day after tomorrow, rockets were launched from three different satellite launch centers and sent to geosynchronous orbit.
Three survey telescopes will form an array of telescopes in geosynchronous orbit.
It is possible to observe different targets at the same time, or to observe the same target at the same time.
These three survey telescopes have a different detection system from the SS-Defense system.
One is the space around the Earth, and the main target of the other is deep space.
"That's right!" Fan Xiaoming said with a smile, "You have to go back to school to prepare for the final exam, and I have to go back to arrange the Spring Festival holiday, so I don't have time to go to the scene." ”
"The final exam will not be delayed for long, mainly to prepare for the relevant verification experiments, and when the construction of the positron collider is completed, we will have to carry out the verification experiments non-stop." Su Zhe explained.
"Yes! Yes! Fan Xiaoming sighed, "Whether it is a high-power optical energy transmission cable, an electromagnetic wave converter, a super battery, or a heavy photonic aerospace engine, etc., these are what we urgently need." ”
"When the positron collider and those experimental stations are built, then these verification experiments can be carried out in full." Su Zhe smiled.
"It's about to be the New Year." Fan Xiaoming sighed, "It's a little easier at the end of the year, and we will be busy after the year." ”
"yes!" Su Zhe said, "There are too many verification experiments after the year. ”
"Yes!" Fan Xiaoming thought for a while and said, "Su Zhe! You have time to help me see the design of the experiment to verify the anomalous properties of the iron atom, I don't want another explosion. ”
Now, the Nine Days Research Center is on the right track, and it doesn't require him to spend too much effort on management.
In the future, he will focus on experiments to verify the anomalous properties of iron atoms and the construction of the Super Hadron Collider complex.
In general, the focus of his work should be shifted from the management of the Nine Days Research Center to scientific research.
At the end of the day, what he really likes is research, not management.
"Don't worry! I'll take a serious look. Su Zhe replied affirmatively.
"Actually, I'm not very interested in super batteries, I care more about super explosives, which makes people excited when they think about it." Fan Xiaoming said excitedly.
"You're really ......" Su Zhe was speechless, "Go to sleep!" Tomorrow we have to travel to visit a nuclear power plant under construction, which is the first time. ”
"Nuclear fission nuclear power plants are always a little flawed in terms of safety...... If only controlled nuclear fusion had been. Fan Xiaoming said and got up and pressed the switch of the light.
……
The next morning, Su Zhe and his entourage left the Tamudong station in a business minibus.
Travel to Tabei Lake, on the edge of the Tamu Gobi, 300 kilometers away.
Tabei Lake is a saltwater lake.
To be precise, Tabei Lake is located on the northeast edge of the Tamu Gobi.
The Tabei Lake Nuclear Power Plant under construction is built next to Tabei Lake.
On the business minibus, Zhou Dashi explained with a smile: "Coincidentally, there is also a saltwater lake on the southwest edge of the Tamu Gobi, Taxi Lake, where a nuclear power plant is also being built......"
According to the plan, two nuclear power plants will be built in the Tamu Gobi itself, the main role of which will be backup.
There are two ways to source energy in the Tamgobi.
One is the input of energy outside the Tamu Gobi, mainly in the form of electrical energy.
The other is space, which is the input of solar energy from space.
In the early stage, it mainly relied on the former, and in the later stage, it mainly relied on the input of solar energy from space, and there was still excess energy to transmit energy beyond the Tamu Gobi.
Along the way, business buses stop and go.
Every now and then, stop by the roadside construction site and visit it.
There are those who build railways, and there are those who build airports......
At noon, Su Zhe and his entourage had a meal at a station.
There is a construction site next to this station, which is built as a railway freight terminal, Tadong terminal.
The location of this railway freight terminal is located on the edge east of the Tamu Gobi.
According to Zhou Dashi, the Tadong terminal will be the distribution center of Tamu Gobi's foreign materials.
After lunch, Su Zhe and his entourage briefly visited the Tamu Gobi under construction.
Afterwards, the group got on a business minibus and continued to rush to the Tabeihu Nuclear Power Plant under construction.
In the car, Fan Xiaoming said with a smile on his face: "Not bad! Not bad! To put it bluntly, the Tamu Gobi will become a gateway to space in the future, and the related supporting facilities will ......"
He was very pleased that the school had fully accepted the advice of the Nine Days Research Center.
In the early stages of the Tamgobi plan, the school consulted them on how to develop the Tamgobi.
They took their opinions seriously.
The results were very good, and the school basically adopted all of the suggestions they put forward.
Hearing Fan Xiaoming say this, Zhou Dashi asked curiously: "I know about your Super Hadron Collider complex plan, but you haven't put forward a specific plan for your space portal plan, I heard that many people are inclined to space elevators, do you plan to build space elevators?" ”
As far as he knows, most of the functions of the development and construction of the Tamu Gobi are the space portal program supporting the Nine Heavens Research Center.
Suffice it to say, the Gigafactories are all for the Space Portal program.
According to President Xu Zhengping, the Tamu Gobi will be an outpost for human exploration of the solar system.
"Space elevator! No! No! We have better and more advanced solutions. Fan Xiaoming said confidently.
"Huh! Better and more advanced. Zhou Dashi looked curious.
"Yes!" Fan Xiaoming said affirmatively.
Seeing this, Zuo Dajun and the five assistants looked at Fan Xiaoming with the same curiosity.
They know if there is a better and more advanced solution.
As far as they know so far, the scientific research team of the Jiutian Research Center is generally optimistic about the space elevator program.
But just now Fan Xiaoming directly denied the space elevator plan, which ......
They don't know that there are better and more advanced solutions.
Fan Xiaoming saw that everyone was looking at him curiously, he looked at Su Zhe, and seeing Su Zhe smiling and nodding, he smiled and said: "This plan is what our big boss Su Zhe just came up with last night, I can say responsibly that this plan is the best and most perfect I have ever seen." ”
Hearing Fan Xiaoming say this, everyone looked at Su Zhe with admiration.
Su Zhe just smiled and turned his head to signal Fan Xiaoming to continue.
Fan Xiaoming smiled and said: "This plan is to integrate the Super Hadron Collider Complex Program, the Space Portal Program and the Light Pillar Engineering Terminal, which is ......"
Along the way, everyone listened to Fan Xiaoming talk about the plan of the space portal plan.
The more he listened, the more everyone admired Su Zhe.
For what Fan Xiaoming said, the only ones who can understand everything are Bi Yuankui and Ma Ping.
Zhou Dashi and Zuo Dajun were able to understand part of it, while Zong Lanyue, Liu Fen, and Wang Dong could only listen to the literal meaning.
In the process of speaking, Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming were very surprised by Zuo Dajun's reaction.
They found that Zuo Dajun understood a lot.
You must know that Zuo Dajun also graduated from high school, and then went to be a soldier.
Then he was discharged from the army and came to Lingzhou Institute of Technology to be a school guard.
When I asked, I found out that Zuo Dajun would skip classes as long as he had time, or read books to study.
According to Zuo Dajun, he wants to study the armor worn by Iron Man in the movie, and he doesn't learn how to do it.
He also said that a lot of knowledge was difficult to learn in the past, and it required a foundation in English.
But now there is no need, the Four Books Society has summarized and sorted out that knowledge.
It's easy to learn, and you don't need English or other foreign language background, and you can learn any knowledge.
After Fan Xiaoming knew this, he also deliberately took the test for Zuo Dajun, and found that what Zuo Dajun said was the Tao.
Zuo Dajun specifically analyzed Iron Man's armor.
Those technologies are already there, those technologies need to be broken through, those technologies can be realized, those technologies are just illusions, and so on.
Su Zhe, Fan Xiaoming and others expressed their admiration for Zuo Dajun.
In the end, Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming made it clear that they would support the Iron Man armor that Zuo Dajun was making.
……
At half past two in the afternoon, the business minibus came to the Tabeihu Nuclear Power Plant under construction.
As before, the group first went to the temporary residence of the station, and after putting away their luggage, the group took a patrol car to the construction site of the Tabei Lake nuclear power plant, which is under construction.
At the beginning, Su Zhe and his entourage came to a simple office building under the leadership of a special person.
In the lobby of the office building, the staff introduced the master plan of the Tabei Lake Nuclear Power Plant to Su Zhe and his entourage.
After learning about the master plan of the Tabei Lake Nuclear Power Plant, the group came to the construction site.
Heavy trucks, excavators, cranes and other heavy equipment are busy working.
At this stage, it is the stage of laying the foundation of the Tabei Lake Nuclear Power Plant.
At present, nuclear power technology is quite mature.
The Tabeihu Nuclear Power Plant and the Taxi Lake Nuclear Power Plant, which are currently under construction, are both fourth-generation nuclear power plants.
Compared with previous generations of nuclear power plants, the fourth generation of nuclear power plants has a higher safety factor, higher energy conversion efficiency, and more nuclear fuel reserves.
For now, solar power, wind power, hydropower, and thermal power all have their drawbacks.
Either the stability is not good, the fuel is not low in energy density, or it is highly polluting.
Relatively speaking, nuclear power is an ideal clean energy.
Of course, nuclear power also has its drawbacks, safety issues, nuclear waste disposal issues, nuclear fuel storage and extraction issues.
Take the Tamu Gobi, which has no village in front and no shop in the back, for example.
Not to mention the unstable land occupied by solar power and wind power, the Tamu Gobi is so big, it would be nice to be able to install a super factory.
There is no extra land.
Hydropower doesn't need to be considered, because there are no big rivers.
Thermal power is possible, but it requires a constant supply of coal or natural gas.
Not to mention the gas produced, the consumption of coal and natural gas is also a heavenly amount.
Its associated supporting facilities......
Generally speaking, nuclear power plants are more reliable.
Besides, the purpose of the construction of the Tabeihu Nuclear Power Plant and the Taxi Lake Nuclear Power Plant is only to be a backup.
When visiting the Tabei Lake Nuclear Power Plant, Zhou Dashi asked Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming in confusion: "The construction period of the Tabei Lake Nuclear Power Plant and the Taxi Lake Nuclear Power Plant is three and a half years, do we really need these two standby nuclear power plants?" ”
This is something he has always puzzled.
In the early stage of the Tamu Gobi, the energy needed was transferred from outside the Tamu Gobi, and in the later stage, it relied on the solar energy in space to provide energy, and it could also transmit energy to the outside of the Tamu Gobi.
In his opinion, there is no need to build two nuclear power plants, the Tabeihu Nuclear Power Plant and the Taxi Lake Nuclear Power Plant.
"You can't say that." Fan Xiaoming hurriedly waved his hand, "Everything is afraid of accidents, what if there is a special situation, no matter what, backup energy must be available." ”
"That's right!" Su Zhe explained with a smile, "Whether it is the energy provided outside the Tamu Gobi or the energy provided outside space, these may be interrupted due to accidents, and then backup energy is necessary." ”
“……”
Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming said word by word.
Everyone nodded their heads.
It is true that the Tabeihu Nuclear Power Plant and the Taxi Lake Nuclear Power Plant are backup energy sources for the Tamu Gobi, but they also have a role.
This role is also known to Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming among these people.
That is, not far from the two nuclear power plants, the Tabeihu Nuclear Power Plant and the Taxi Lake Nuclear Power Plant, each has an SS-defense system subsystem base.
This cannot be said explicitly.
