From Propulsion City To Multiverse

The third idea.

This is also a technical solution that Wang Gao is most eager to complete - controllable nuclear power generation technology.

The research institute that studies this technology is not in the cloud realm, but in the seventh protected area of ​​the food kingdom.

The seventh protected area is located on an island deep in the windless zone of the East China Sea. Due to the long-term influence of nuclear radiation, the animals and plants here have undergone large-scale genetic mutations.

The institute is located on the southwest coast of the island, a shoal and far from the core of radioactive material.

However, for the sake of safety, the entire institute uses a special raw material, which is N hydrogen particle material.

The damage of radioactive substances to living beings is mainly from ionizing radiation and neutron irradiation. Although lead plates can block a large part of ionizing radiation, there are still certain deficiencies in the face of neutron irradiation.

And N hydrogen, which is pure neutron matter, is also the most abundant neutron matter in the mantle of the blue sea star, and it is also the easiest neutron matter to obtain at present.

The protective layer formed by N hydrogen particles or sea rock (N sodium) can effectively shield ionizing radiation and neutron irradiation.

Of course, the master of the armed color (N oxygen) can also defend against ionizing radiation and neutron irradiation, but it is necessary to maintain the full body coverage of the armed color for a long time, which is a very big test for physical strength.

Wang Gao mixed some substances with N-hydrogen particles to create a transparent film that covered the outer layer of the institute and the research area.

In addition, more than a dozen researchers who are engaged in research in this area have also undergone special training in armed sex and domineering, and wear special protective clothing and testing equipment on their bodies every day.

This is to avoid contamination with radioactive substances.

The radioactive material in the seventh protected area is a potassium vanadium uranium mine, which is rich in a large amount of uranium.

If all are extracted, about 5640 tons of uranium can be obtained, of which about 7.6 tons of uranium 235 can be used as nuclear fuel.

The vast majority of what's left is uranium-238, but uranium-238 is also very valuable because it can be converted into another nuclear fuel, plutonium, by bombardment with neutrons.

Wang Gao saw the motors and battery storage batteries of Qunxingxing, which were basically ready for application, so he came to the Nuclear Research Institute in the seventh protected area.

For research in the nuclear field, even in the future kingdom, not many people are actually doing research.

In fact, in Wang Gao's view, scientific research in the future kingdom is largely archaeological research, and many technologies are the heritage of lunar civilization, or derived, improved, and restored from its foundation.

Including Vega Punk's wisdom that is claimed to be within five hundred of the world's leading, in fact, it is also closely related to the legacy of the lunar civilization.

Of course, Vega Punk's own wisdom is also very high.

There are not many related talents in the Future Kingdom, so Wang Gao can only cultivate by himself. Currently, more than a dozen researchers in the nuclear field in the institute are all his students.

He came here through the shadow passage, and all the students gathered around happily.

teacher.

One of the square-faced black-haired young people said to him cheerfully: Teacher, the Zhurong No. 1 we built has successfully generated electricity after these days of improvements.

Wang Gao looked at the most talented student: Aheng, how is the continuous operation of Zhurong No. 1?

Teacher, this is the recent experimental record. Zhang Heng handed him the biological computer and explained:

We have improved the design of the first version, and now it can be run safely for a long time, but there are no conditions for testing in combat conditions for the time being.

The Zhurong No. 1 nuclear fission reactor, which has been improved many times, is indeed relatively mature in technology.

When Wang Gao, Zhang Heng and others started their research, they directly covered their whole body with armed colors and resisted nuclear radiation.

This is also one of the innate advantages of Blue Sea Star. The armed color can resist nuclear radiation, resulting in many seemingly dangerous operations, which can be done with personnel.

For example, in the initial reactor, the fuel rods need to be replaced, or the fuel rods are overheated and melted, etc., all of which are manually cleared by personnel.

If there is no armed color cover, even if it is a protective suit wearing lead composite panels, it is difficult to ensure safety in the core area of ​​​​the reactor.

The internal design of Zhurong No. 1 nuclear fission reactor consists of fuel rods containing 5.7% uranium 235, graphite slow-release nests, N-silicon thermal energy circulation pipes, thermoelectric generators, emergency stop nests, radiators, N-silicon-N-hydrogen composite protective layer composition.

The reason for choosing 5.7% U-235 fuel rods instead of the 4% U-235 fuel rods in his previous life.

At the beginning, Wang Gao was also a little empirical and chose a fuel rod with a concentration of 4%. As a result, the nuclear reaction was very slow, and the expected heat output could not be achieved.

Later, after readjusting the test, he found that the physical rules of the blue sea star were slightly different from those in the previous life. The optimal concentration of uranium-235 fuel rods should be maintained at about 5.7% to achieve high reaction efficiency and meet safety requirements.

And because of the neutron material, there are many choices for the relevant parts and components in the nuclear fission reactor.

The thermal energy circulation pipeline composed of N silicon is filled with N sodium particles as an intermediate medium for thermal energy exchange.

The thermoelectric generator system, whose technology comes from the hot shells and energy-absorbing shells in the empty island shell, has a thermoelectric conversion efficiency of 72.3%.

Through the design of the secondary heat energy circulation loop, the thermoelectric conversion efficiency can be increased to the limit of about 92.3%.

After reading the experimental test data, Wang Gao nodded: Very good, the power generation of Zhurong No. 1 has reached 500 megawatts, and the size also meets the requirements.

I estimate that after careful adjustment for a few months, it can be put into mass production. Zhang Heng is full of confidence in this.

The parameters of Zhurong No. 1 nuclear fission reactor are about 16 meters in length, 8 meters in width and 8 meters in height.

With a modular design, it looks like two metal cubes spliced ​​together.

For a huge group of stars, three Zhurong No. 1s are installed to form a maximum output power of 1500 megawatts, which can basically be used.

After all, Qunxingxing has the special technology of floating cloud airbag that can generate anti-gravity. It does not need to use inefficient chemical propulsion, and the utilization rate of electric energy will be much higher.

3 Zhurong No. 1, of which 1 is used as flight power, 1 is used as auxiliary power and backup, and 1 is used as energy supply for laser cannons.

The laser cannon technology is also derived from the laser shells in the sky island shells.

The propellers and oars in the original design of the Ark Proverbs were also cancelled by Wang Gao, and the kinetic energy engines derived from the platoon shells were used instead.

The kinetic energy engine uses the nuclear reactor to supply electrical energy, and then converts the electrical energy into kinetic energy, but this requires a certain reserve of liquid nitrogen as the working medium of the kinetic energy engine.

The hull size of the star group, the approximate parameters are:

It has a length of 510 meters, a width of 90 meters and a height of 120 meters. It has a self-weight of 72,000 tons and a maximum load of 123,000 tons.

Equipped with 3 Zhurong No. 1 nuclear fission reactors with a maximum output of 1,500 megawatts.

There are 8 laser cannons, 8 240mm naval guns, 30 30mm anti-aircraft guns, 4 240mm 8-barrel rocket launchers, and bombing bombs. The ammunition is fully equipped with metal hydrogen (dynamite rock) warheads.

The keel and shell of the battleship are made of high-strength composite materials, which are comparable in strength to the eternal rock that manufactures historical texts, and have the characteristics of memory alloys.

In the future, further upgrades will be considered, such as adding electromagnetic guns, missiles, etc. The technology of these weapons is not yet fully mature, so it is not on the ship.
