"The Cabinet of the Island Holds an Emergency Meeting on the Sewage Treatment of the Edo Electric Power Company"
"Edo Electric Power Company Announces Wastewater Treatment Capacity Has Reached Its Limit, Making It Difficult to Afford Huge Maintenance Costs for Storage Tanks"
Nakayama said he would face up to the problem of sewage discharge.
On August 10, the Edo Electric Power Company's unit in charge of nuclear power plant treatment held a press conference, and a manager took out a glass of preliminarily purified nuclear wastewater in front of reporters and drank it without hesitation.
This was in response to questions about the nuclear wastewater treatment measures, but the effect was not as good as expected, and the report attracted ridicule.
People with an increasing rate of quality education know that the damage of radiation to the human body is slow, unless it is a short period of time to receive a large amount of radiation, otherwise this sewage can prove anything, maybe it will be a few years before it will be manifested.
But the Edo Electric Power Company believed its performance anyway, insisting that the initial purification would be enough to reduce it to harmless standards.
In the past few days, the entire coastline of East Asia has been protesting fiercely, unanimously opposing the discharge of nuclear sewage into the sea – even after it has been purified.
……
Capital.
Under the auspices of the Aviation Development Commission, the country's best geological and mining experts were organized to begin the analysis of the results of the Tianmu-2 exploration.
The Tianmu-2 mission arrived on the moon on August 2, landed on August 3, and returned to lunar orbit on August 6 to dock with the Wutu space station, where astronauts spent another three days sorting out the data and sending it back.
One of the most important data is the blasting test, which is the first time that humans have carried out such a test, Deng Lei and Li Wei found the two most characteristic places to carry out a 10-meter deep blasting operation, and each blew up a large crater.
The field photographs and instrumental mapping data are very complete, providing a valuable source of information for interested experts.
Although it is still far from the vein enrichment, it is enough to analyze a lot of things.
It's just that for Lin Ju, the results of the preliminary analysis are very unsatisfactory.
He directly found Academician She, and several other high-level officials of the space bureau followed their superiors to visit abroad, and they did not come back for a month.
"She Lao, I think there is a problem with the initial progressive blasting plan."
Academician She showed that he was expected of this, and the progressive layer by layer blasting was the original idea, and it was normal to have flaws.
The environment on the moon is completely different from that on the ground, and the Aviation Development Commission has long been prepared to face all kinds of difficulties.
"I haven't looked at the report yet, tell me what's going on?"
Lin Ju sat down and listed the valuable parts separately, and said solemnly:
"This time we did a blasting test of the lunar soil layer, and the explosion power has passed through dozens of meters of the lunar soil layer to the broken rock belt below, and the thickness of this layer is more than 1,000 meters, which means that the distance between us and the ore vein is basically a broken rock belt.
According to the data of the detector, this layer is basically formed by the accumulation of various meteorites that have been impacted by the moon, which contains a lot of metal components and has a high density of monomers, which will seriously weaken the power of the blast.
Even though the explosives used this time were much better, the effect was only one-third of what was expected, and there was a serious problem that the debris and lunar soil produced by progressive blasting were too difficult to clean up, and we could not clean them up with hundreds of construction machines on Earth.
In the past, we estimated that it would take us half a year to complete the blasting of the pit, but now this number is at least multiplied by three. ”
Although Academician She had been mentally prepared, this result still gave him a bit of a headache, and he picked up the information and flipped through it for a while to find that the situation might even be worse.
In the past, many people thought that the low gravity of the moon was very advantageous, but now it seems that through testing, it has a little positive effect at most, and it is actually more troublesome than the earth.
He was not an expert in this field either, so he had to rub the top of his head and say:
"To trust our experts, we still have half a year to figure out a solution, and it will always be solved.
In addition to chemical blasting, there are still many means, but ...... I'm more worried about the cost, according to the above statement, the cost is far less than we hoped, and the profit margin we thought before was based on this foundation, and it would be difficult to support it if we couldn't make money. ”
Lin Ju nodded in agreement, according to the depth of the pit of 1,400 meters and the diameter of the bottom of 300 meters, the diameter of the most surface pit must be more than 2,500 meters, and about 9 billion tons of material will be blown up, about 10 billionths of the total mass of the moon.
After the 9 billion tons of material were blown up, the ore vein layer was felt and the excavation began, which calculated how many rare earths had to be excavated to recover the cost.
Seeing that Lin Ju had no intention of leaving, Academician She knew that he should have some ideas, so he took the opportunity to ask:
"You didn't come to me just to complain, what new ideas does Xinyuan have?"
Lin Ju hesitated for a moment, but finally said boldly:
"Old She, do you think we can apply for a few 10-million-ton hydrogen bombs?"
Academician She: "......"
Hydrogen bomb mine - in fact, the base has had this idea for a long time, but it has been hiding until the specific data of Tianmu 2 is ready to be proposed.
As early as the discussion of the metallurgical plan of the base, the high-level people made calculations, and the mining by traditional means is definitely a huge project with terrifying cost, and the cost is completely disproportional to the investment, so it is natural that some people propose to use the explosion of nuclear bombs to replace blasting and excavation.
Not to mention, there is not a lot of knowledge about nuclear bombs in the base.
The traditional atomic bomb is relatively simple in terms of technology, and the Qingshan base has the conditions to build it, so Cheng Nankai easily came up with a simulated explosion model of the atomic bomb and used supercomputing to calculate the explosion effect.
Although he didn't understand the hydrogen bomb, Ye Changsi knew that he was the core personnel involved in the whole process of the development of the first hydrogen bomb.
The results of the research at the final base were: if the atomic bomb was used, about 200 to 250 medium and large atomic bombs with a yield of 15 to 200,000 tons would be needed; In the case of hydrogen bombs, the optimal model is 10 to 12 giant hydrogen bombs with a yield of more than 15 million tons, or 50 large-yield hydrogen bombs with a yield of 3 million to 5 million tons.
The cost of using the atomic bomb is calculated by Cheng Nankai to be 7.5 to 1 billion yuan, which is estimated according to the cost of the base's own production, and the cost of one is about 300 to 5 million.
Ye Changsi has the right to speak on the hydrogen bomb, he believes that the third-generation hydrogen bomb is a small weapon with extremely high militarized use, and the price of the detonator is too expensive, and the first-generation hydrogen bomb is too large and wastes materials, and the most suitable is the second-generation hydrogen bomb, that is, the medium-sized hydrogen bomb that uses a small atomic bomb as the trigger.
If it is 15 million tons of equivalent class, the cost is about 20 million, and the 300 or 5 million ton class is about 10 million, and the total cost is only a few hundred million yuan.
