In the afternoon.

A transport plane landed on the company's airport runway, from which a specially made tank was unloaded.

The outer layer is metal, and the inner layer is lead.

"Mr. Tang, please sign for it." The person responsible for transporting the core of the nuclear rocket found Tang Rui and asked him to sign.

"Okay, I'm sorry for you." Tang Rui said after signing.

After the other party put away the receipt signed by Tang Rui, he returned to the transport plane and then returned.

Tang Rui asked Honglian to transport the things back to the assembly workshop.

In the final assembly workshop, the 300i-shaped space shuttle has already been built, and now the power and energy core are missing, and it can take off directly when it is installed.

However, Tang Rui did not plan to equip the space shuttle with this equipment, not because of anything else, mainly when he designed it, he made the simplest design.

The purpose is for the fuel rods in it.

"Red Lotus, take out the fuel rods from the equipment and pay attention to the radiation problem." Tang Rui said to the red lotus.

"Rest assured, the master will ensure that the Red Lotus is stable."

Red Lotus controls the robot, opens the canister, and takes out the fuel rods that are only the thickness of a pencil inside, a total of 36.

None of the fuel rods have been inserted into the reactor.

The fission reaction did not start.

After removing the fuel rods, the robot replaces the canister on and sprays a solution that eliminates radiation.

Although the radiation leaked just now was not very much.

But the cleanup still needs to be cleaned up.

Tang Rui was in the laboratory and saw that Honglian had already put the fuel rod away, so he didn't care about what was going on over there.

"Red Lotus, project the reactor model of the core of the nuclear-powered rocket, and then cancel the external heating pipes."

"Good master."

Tang Rui began to modify the core reactor of a nuclear-powered rocket.

Today's nuclear-powered rockets all rely on heat to ignite the booster, and such a structure and ignition method exert the true power of a good nuclear reactor.

Only by allowing liquid hydrogen to enter the reactor directly inside the reactor and participate in the reaction chain can the full power of the particle stream be brought into play.

Although it is not as efficient as nuclear fusion.

But it's enough to be used at the moment.

The specific impulse of 7500 seconds completely crushes all current chemical fuel rockets, and the two are not at the same level at all.

At present, the specific impulse of chemical-fueled rockets is up to 300 seconds.

The difference between the two is 25 times.

Of course.

There are indeed many technical problems that need to be solved, the most important of which is the problem of nuclear radiation.

This problem cannot be solved.

Not to mention any nuclear-powered rockets, at most it is a remake of the Pluto nuclear-powered missile.

How to solve this problem?

Magnetic field.

Originally, the nozzle of the rocket needed to be adjusted by a magnetic field, and no material could withstand the particle flow of liquid hydrogen conversion after the chain reaction.

That temperature was too high.

It can only be limited by a magnetic field.

And it needs to pass through multi-layer magnetic fields and magnetic channels to effectively control this hot high-temperature plasma flow.

The specific design has been conceived by scientists decades ago, but it just can't be built.

Whether it's engineering, or material performance.

None of them meet their requirements.

If Tang Rui hadn't solved the material problem, he wouldn't have been able to do it either, so he could only use the system to strengthen it.

Now he can not only build it, but also optimize it.

For example, the cooling system.

Under the constraints of the magnetic field, under the isolation of the inner wall of the anti-neutron irradiation material, the whole reactor does not need such a huge cooling system at all, and even the power generation device does not need to use traditional boiling water, but directly through the ferrofluid power generation device to complete the power generation, and at the same time of power generation, it does not affect the propulsion.

With Tang Rui's modification and Red Lotus's simulation calculation.

It didn't take long.

The design of a new nuclear reactor integrating the power core and energy core was completed.

"Red Lotus, start building a reactor."

After the Red Lotus simulation and confirmed that there was no problem, Tang Rui directly ordered the manufacturing.

"Okay, master, it's expected to be finished in three and a half hours."

Tang Rui looked at the time.

It's now more than three o'clock.

When we finish eating in the evening, we will be able to make it.

The reason why it is so fast is that the internal design is much simplified, and many complex engineering designs have been directly replaced by strong material properties.

Even the radiation protection layer that was originally needed, the thick lead plate, was directly replaced by an electromagnetic coil.

That's the benefit of a breakthrough in materials.

"When it's done, plug in the fuel rods and test them." Tang Rui got up and explained to Honglian, and left the laboratory.

He doesn't need to worry about the rest.

Wear smart glasses.

Tang Rui went to the company's square to fight monsters and upgraded.

It's work time.

The employees are all working, no one is robbing the monster and the treasure chest with him, and a large number of monsters in the entire company are all his.

Play until the company closes work.

He just left.

You can't leave it.

After a group of employees clocked out of work, they rushed directly into the square, released their own royal beasts, and began to rob monsters.

Tang Rui was also helpless in this regard.

Finish dinner in the evening.

Tang Rui returned to the laboratory.

Red Lotus is testing the reactor that has just been built, and the data is working well so far.

Don't say anything else.

The amount of electricity generated alone reached 280 megawatts.

The specific impulse did not exceed much, only reaching 7800 seconds.

The data is normal.

The working situation is also stable.

The most important thing is that this reactor is safe and there will be no nuclear leakage problems.

The magnetic field generated by the electromagnetic coil that wraps the core can firmly bind the energy released after the chain reaction.

Doesn't it sound a bit like nuclear fusion.

Not.

He is a nuclear reactor, or nuclear fission.

Therefore, the real harm of the core is only nuclear radiation and ultra-high temperature, which has little effect on the magnetic field.

If you put this magnetic coil on the nuclear fusion reactor, it won't take a second, and the sky will be bright.

The two are not on the same level.

There is also no level of magnetic field strength required.

A real nuclear fusion reactor requires a super magnetic field of at least 60T or more to bind, and at present, Eagle Sauce has only made 34T at most, still in the laboratory.

The nuclear fusion reactor used for the real test ignition, even if it uses superconducting coils and is soaked in liquid helium, the magnetic field strength is only 13.4T.

And his reactor only needs a magnetic field of 1T to firmly bind the energy of the core.

Even this is a bit of a surplus of performance, in fact, 6000 gauss is about the same.

But the extra bit is nothing.

Anyway, the power generation is there.

It's enough to make it.

Tang Rui glanced at the test data of the reactor and found that there was no problem, and it was basically within the estimated range.

"When all the tests are over, it will be installed on the space shuttle, and it will be completed by 10 o'clock tomorrow morning at the latest."

"Yes, master."

Happy New Year everyone, there is still a chapter before 12 pm
