371 Supercomputer with 5 million operations per second
"This is not a problem. We have an alloy factory in our hands. Factory 754 now needs to use high-temperature powder metallurgy to produce tungsten and molybdenum products. The current high-temperature furnace should be almost designed, and perhaps the samples have been produced. ¥f, if powder metallurgy is used, and according to this process, the rare earth elements can be removed, what price can this depleted uranium alloy be controlled at?" Liu Yijiu thought that the high-temperature vacuum furnace at the 754 factory should be almost ready, and immediately had an idea.
We don’t use depleted uranium alloy to make armor. After all, although the radiation of that thing is small, it cannot be eliminated.
The bullets used to make armor-piercing bullets and S75 and 77 anti-equipment sniper rifles will be even more powerful with this.
With graphene, what else can you use depleted uranium alloy?
Depleted uranium alloy is used for anti-armor, which is definitely a magical tool!
"We already have such production equipment? If this is the case, the cost will be reduced a lot. We did not make detailed calculations in the specific situation. According to the initial inference, if large-scale production is produced, the price per ton should be reduced to about 200,000 US dollars." Liu Suxue asked in surprise. "If vacuum induction smelting is used, the cost will be lower, and it is estimated that it can be compressed to about 150,000 US dollars..."
High temperature powder metallurgy is the most cutting-edge process in the materials industry.
He had never expected that China would have already had production capacity in this area. It would be able to use high-temperature powder metallurgy to produce tungsten and molybdenum products, so their research would be faster.
And vacuum induction smelting, this is even more advanced.
Liu Yijiu was also sad when she heard this.
The vacuum induction furnace is made, but it will be more difficult to melt and cast than powder metallurgy.
He could only shake his head for these things. It was not that he couldn't do it, but that he couldn't put time on it. It seemed that he had to pull out the seedlings and encourage growth.
After continuing to wander around this workshop, he saw that the processing of depleted uranium alloys before heat treatment was not very difficult, so he was more relieved. Perhaps in the future, he would only have to produce depleted uranium armor-piercing bombs. It is probably not a good thing for ordinary workers to come into contact with these radioactive materials without protection.
After finishing the inspection here, I returned to the right side again. On this side is the graphene research laboratory, which is only two or three hundred square meters. As Liu Suxue said, there has been basically no progress in the things in this place in ten years.
There is no possibility that Liu Yijiu wants to obtain a large amount of graphene films, or materials made of graphene films, but it is possible to use the graphene they have hand-made and produced graphene to make some carbon tubes, which is also considered a research result in the past decade.
Liu Suxue’s research is mainly based on the research and understanding of the various properties of graphene, a terrifying material. For large-scale preparation processes, there is not much result in the application of graphene, so it is not so urgently needed.
Liu Yijiu knew that he should not be anxious about such a situation.
Even if he knew about the cheap large-scale preparation process for graphene, he would not say it out now.
"The nuclear power plant here has a designed power of 500mw, and the main power consumption is some research from the Trass project. The power used in the entire base has doubled since last year, but it can only allow the nuclear power plant to operate at less than 20% at low power. The nuclear fuel stored in it can last at least 30 years according to the current usage..." In the end, I continued to walk into the mountain, and it was estimated that it would be more than a thousand meters away from the hole at the most surface. In the middle of the innermost reactor and the outside area, there is a reinforced concrete wall of six meters thick. It is said that several layers of five-mm thick lead plates and other radiation objects were also installed inside.
"Why are there no cooling tower? Or is it a room-temperature controlled nuclear reactor here?" Liu Yijiu was very puzzled by this. "Is the cooling water here really transported to various areas of the main base next to it?"
There is only a huge reactor more than ten meters high in the middle. Liu Yijiu doesn't want to go in and take a look at what's inside.
Logically speaking, the cooling tower of a 500mw nuclear power plant will be even larger. If the cooling tower is in front of you, then there will be no such large power here.
At the same time, Liu Yijiu remembered that Wang Shunyi once told him that the 24-hour uninterrupted hot water supply in the base comes from the nuclear power plant in the base.
"It was indeed transported from here. The cooling tower, you can tell if you look around..." Liu Suxue pointed to the surrounding cave wall for Liu Yijiu to see.
Liu Yijiu looked in the direction of his finger and was stunned.
In the small cave, there are circles of copper tubes with a diameter of more than ten centimeters!
How much does it cost!
"This cave is a cooling tower, and the steam turbine unit and generator unit are in another direction, to reduce the impact of noise on the next door research room."
Liu Yijiu shook his head and threw out the shock in his mind.
He didn't want to express any opinions on the layout here. Although each functional partition does not seem very ideal, this kind of protection measures and considerations are very appropriate.
"Where is the generator set? Let's go and see?" Liu Yijiu didn't know where the central control room was. What he wanted to see was the steam turbine and the generator set.
Steam turbines are the weakness of the Republic. Many conventionally powered warships later use steam turbines.
Whether it is Harbin Electric or the Oriental Turbine Factory in Deyang, at the beginning, they all produced steam turbines, rather than gas turbines. It seems that the production of gas turbines will have to wait for many years to introduce Alstom's technology.
He took Liu Yijiu to the back of the reactor and saw a small door, which was only more than two meters in height and was much narrower than the door that came in.
When I opened the door, there were some steps dug out from stones, which went straight up. Each step must be at least thirty or forty centimeters. I don’t know what the design person thinks, but it’s really tiring to walk.
I don’t know how much manpower and material resources the project here consumes.
Although a large part of it is a natural cave at the beginning, Liu Yijiu really couldn't understand that even if a nuclear power plant is built, it can be built outside. There are vast mountains around it, so there is no need to hide the nuclear power plant in the cave.
However, he felt relieved when he thought of the nuclear power plant in a cave in the other side of the mountain city that he had been decrypted later.
I walked up the steps and walked up fifty or sixty steps, and the height rose by at least twenty meters before I saw a small platform of only more than ten square meters. It was surrounded by rocks and had not been renovated or anything else. There were two black-clothed NB guards holding 77 automatic rifles outside.
"This is the central control room of the nuclear power plant, which is twenty meters higher than the nuclear power plant. The thickness of the rock layer in the middle is more than twenty meters. And once a leak occurs inside, the stones on the door can fall down..." Liu Suxue introduced to Liu Yijiu on the platform in front of the central control room.
Xie Heping, who was on the other hand, didn't say much from the beginning, as if he didn't know much about the situation here.
When he entered the central control room, Liu Yijiu was really shocked.
Compared to the sci-fi environment in the entire base, it suddenly felt like it was from the primitive era to enter the space age.
In the entire room, there are countless monitors about the same size as 24-inch TVs, which are not only hung on the surrounding walls, but also arranged on rows of neat consoles.
If it weren't for the appearance that was more powerfully protruding outward, he would think that this was a central control room from the future era.
"The supercomputer here is better than the one in the base. Most of the parts are from the United States. The calculation speed is five million times per second. It is mainly used to monitor and control the operation of the entire power station..." Liu Suxue's words made Liu Yijiu, who had not yet come back to his senses, fall into a dull state again!
He is looking for computer talents everywhere, and it is obviously impossible to be missing here.
The power station was built many years ago. Although next year the Republic will be able to create an integrated circuit computer with 5 million calculations per second, HDS-9, and Wang chose the first laser radiator to discharge the sample book, but this was not a few years ago.
"Is the technical team that designed this computer the person in our base?" Liu Yijiu asked Liu Suxue eagerly.
Even Xie Heping missed an incredible look.
Li Rui, a girl, didn't know anything about these things at all, and she couldn't be shocked by these things. If she had some guns and some cannons, she would probably be able to shock her.
"At this point, Xiao Zhihe is the person in charge, and he came back from the United States. You can take him to the base there. I only need to leave a few people responsible for the maintenance here." Liu Suxue seemed to know what Liu Yijiu was going to say, and before he could speak, he asked Liu Yijiu to take people away.
Xiao Zhihe is not here at the moment, so he is going to wait until Liu Yijiu understands the situation inside before introducing it.
"Just look at those steam turbines, they are all honest, and many of them were even removed from their scrapped warships. If they are more advanced in the future, the entire base will not be unaware of it. In any case, our base is also part of it..."
Liu Suxue sighed.
This is the case in the base. All kinds of supporting facilities are relatively complete, but in terms of technology, they are still very backward.
"Then there is nothing to see..." Liu Yijiu also sighed.
He was hungry. (To be continued.)
