Chapter 704, Urgent Mission 2

Jiang Yan pretended to think for a long time before he said, "Comrade Huang Yang, I should be able to design and manufacture this kind of device. ”

"Are you sure you can? If you can't do it, if you can't do it, it's very important, and you can't talk nonsense. Huang Yang said with a serious expression.

"I can, I can! Believe me. Jiang Yan replied confidently.

"Okay, Comrade Jiang Yan, now the country needs you, I hope you can accept this task, we have to set off immediately. Here in the institute, when the time comes, it will be said that you are going to the field on a business trip, you can rest assured. Huang Yang said formally.

"Okay, I accept! But can I go home, I don't have anything here, I always bring a little toiletries and explain to my family. Jiang Yan nodded and then spoke.

"No, we will arrange all the things you need, and we will send someone to greet your home, don't worry about this."

"Then let's go, go there, I'll listen to your arrangement!" Jiang Yan replied. He didn't know the bottom in his heart, and he felt that he would be arranged to go directly to the Great Northwest, but he felt that it shouldn't be.

Later, Jiang Yan and his secretary driver got into the jeep and set off.

In the afternoon, his wife Jiang Sirui knew that her husband had gone on a business trip; It felt a little sudden in her heart, but when she saw that the person who came could vaguely know that this person was not an ordinary person, she had a certain guess in her heart, and when she thought that her husband was for work and for the country, she finally calmed down.

"It's here, Comrade Jiang Yan!" Huang Yang said, taking off the hood from Jiang Yan's head.

In an instant, the light entered Jiang Yan's eyes again, his eyes were slightly stimulated at first, and gradually adapted to it, he walked for two days on the way, first the train and then the car, and when he got on the car, he was put on a hood.

At this glance, you can see that this is an experimental base, but Jiang Yan doesn't know where it is, but the only thing that can be determined is that the place where he came is not the Great Northwest.

Then Huang Yang placed Jiang Yan and took him to the experimental base to see all the places that could be visited, but there were not many places to see.

"Comrade Jiang Yan, there is no way, it needs to be kept secret here, please bear with me! In the next time, you will need to bother, and tomorrow a group of experts will be transferred to fully cooperate with your technical task. Huang Yang apologized to Jiang Yan.

"It's okay, I can understand it, I'll leave it to us later." Jiang Yan replied.

It was also late, and Jiang Yan slept in the small single room that had been placed.

The next morning, not long after Jiang Yan had breakfast, he was arranged to meet with other experts.

"This is Comrade Jiang Yan, he participated in the previous Zhan-6 and Wuye aircraft, and the new CNC machine tools, high-precision instruments, agricultural machinery, and oxygen top blowing converter technology were all made by Comrade Jiang Yan.

This time, Comrade Jiang Yan is mainly responsible for the research and design of the technology, and we are responsible for checking the side. Huang Yang said from the side.

At this time, Jiang Yan also knew what Huang Yang was doing, the guard regiment had been in charge of the technical defense of this base, as well as the deployment of relevant technical personnel and materials.

"Hello, you are Comrade Jiang Yan! I've heard your name for a long time, God has been friends for a long time, God has been friends for a long time, your machine tools are our main force, not bad, let's do a good job of research this time, the country needs us. ”

"By the way, my name is Hu Qingyan, and you can call me the deputy chief engineer here." Jiang Yan didn't know this expert, but he could see his enthusiasm for the country.

"Deputy Chief Engineer Hu, hello! I'm Jiang Yan, don't worry, our country will definitely become strong! Jiang Yan said firmly.

In the following time, Jiang Yan began the research of centrifuges, starting from the simplest and routine experimental verification, step by step, and finally began the experimental verification of high-speed centrifuges.

A centrifuge is a device that can be used to separate mixtures, and its principle is to use centrifugal force to separate different molecules in the mixture.

A centrifuge usually consists of a body and a tube. The main body of the centrifuge is a rotating device capable of generating centrifugal force at high speeds. A centrifuge tube is a small tube where the sample is placed and spun in a centrifuge.

As the centrifuge rotates, the sample is subjected to centrifugal force, and the high-density material moves to the outside of the centrifuge and the low-density material moves to the inside of the centrifuge. In this way, the different molecules in the mixture can be separated.

Time passed day by day, and Jiang Yan stayed in this laboratory for almost two months. Finally, on October 17, the uranium enrichment high-speed centrifuge was successfully assembled.

"Commander Zhang, the centrifuge is assembled, and the next step is to carry out uranium separation and enrichment." Hu Qingyan said.

Now Jiang Yan is the commander-in-chief of this centrifuge project, and he is the deputy commander-in-chief. And, when all the people involved in the project arrived, everyone knew what the experiment was about.

"Okay, it's time to see if it's successful! Even if the conventional centrifuges in front of us are successful, they are all virtual, but it doesn't matter, we will definitely succeed! Jiang Yan cheered everyone up in advance.

Next, the uranium high-speed enrichment centrifuge was officially started, the natural uranium was put into the device, and the experiment began.

Uranium separators separate uranium, a process commonly referred to as uranium enrichment. Uranium enrichment is the separation of low-grade uranium-235 from natural uranium (uranium-238, uranium-235, uranium-234) and can be used to make nuclear fuel or nuclear weapons. Centrifuges separate uranium by processing natural uranium into a gaseous compound and then injecting it into a centrifuge that spins at high speed.

On rotation, uranium-235 in the gaseous compound will move to the outside of the centrifuge, and uranium-238 will move to the inside of the centrifuge. The enrichment of uranium is completed by collecting uranium compounds of different densities and separating uranium-235-rich compounds step by step.

It takes advantage of the difference in the quality of uranium-235 and uranium-238, in which uranium-235 is more easily separated by centrifugal force than uranium-238 due to its lighter mass.

The centrifugation process involves converting the uranium concentrate into gaseous uranium trifluoride and separating the UF6 molecules using the enormous centrifugal force generated by the centrifuge. After several centrifugal cycles, the efficient separation of uranium-235 can be achieved.

"It worked! We made it! Comrades, in the future, we don't need the people to work hard to refine uranium by the local method, Mao Xiong withdrew the experts, Eagle Sauce blocked us, and now that we have got a centrifuge, we will definitely succeed and the country will be strong! The head of the lab said something inspiring.

"Comrade Jiang Yan, thank you! You are a hero of the country, and the country and the people will remember you in the future. Chief Engineer Ma, the head of the company, held Jiang Yan's hand and said cordially.

"Chief Engineer Ma, no thanks, I am also a part of the people. Moreover, as a party member, it is a good thing to be able to contribute to the cause of the construction of the motherland. Jiang Yan replied.

"Your consciousness is very high, but you are right, everything is for the strength of the country! Also, this time, all the experimental data, parameters, and the advantages and disadvantages of this centrifuge need to be summarized, and I have to trouble you. Chief Engineer Ma said to several people in charge of the centrifuge project.

"Okay, Chief Engineer Ma, don't worry, we will sort out these data and materials!" Jiang Yan replied.
