Chapter 170 Miniaturization problem

Next to the Lianhuashan Nuclear Power Plant in Haicheng County, Nuclear Fusion Power Generation Research Institute.

In the open laboratory, a nuclear fusion reactor several times smaller than Jinwu No. 1 was installed in the middle of the laboratory.

More than a dozen researchers are busy with debugging work, and Dong Kuan and Wei Feng are also there.

"Mingzhe, you're done with it," Wei Feng asked while looking at the computer.

"Just finished just now."

Wei Feng stopped working and remembered one thing: "By the way, why install a neutrino barrier layer on the reactor?"

"This is a secret." Huang Mingzhe replied directly.

When he heard that it was a secret, Wei Feng did not break the idea of ​​asking the casserole to the end, so he changed the topic: "This prototype is already the smallest size at present."

After taking the design proposal report, Huang Mingzhe glanced at him and memorized the information and added it to the nuclear fusion knowledge system.

Then sparked inspiration, and countless knowledge bodies collided violently in the brainstorm, and nuclear fusion knowledge bodies became closer and closer to perfection.

However, the perfection of the evolution of the knowledge body is theoretical perfection, and in fact, the material issue is definitely a roadblock.

He quickly turned on the computer, entered the virtual world through his brainwave glasses, and activated the simulation space assisted by design.

In the simulation space, Huang Mingzhe burst out with engineering design capabilities that ordinary people cannot achieve, especially with the assistance of ghosts.

He has re-cluttered all the systems of the nuclear fusion reactor from beginning to end, and it is an improved design based on the materials he currently has.

Six hours later.

A new nuclear fusion reactor appears in the simulation space. Through the simulation experimental system, the new nuclear fusion reactor is operating rapidly.

Whenever there is a vulnerability or operational problem, you can quickly analyze the problem. Based on these tips, Huang Mingzhe can quickly adjust the design plan.

When he withdrew from Nanke's dream world, it was already dusk when the sun set.

He stretched his waist and got up and moved his body.

Wei Feng, who was next to the nuclear fusion reactor, saw Huang Mingzhe appearing in the laboratory and asked, "How is your design changed?"

"You will know after you look." Huang Mingzhe smiled and handed over a memory.

Wei Feng, who was jogging over, took the memory and inserted it into the computer, and then a large number of design drawings appeared on the computer screen.

After watching for more than ten minutes, Wei Feng turned his head and stared at him: "Mingzhe, I want to cut open your brain and see if the structure is different from that of ordinary people."

"Haha..." Huang Mingzhe smiled and shook his head.

Dong Kuan, who was standing by, also laughed. Huang Mingzhe could complete their workload for several months alone, even more perfect than them.

The smallest-level nuclear fusion reactor designed in front of them is a equipment with a length, width and height of 14 meters, with a weight of about 6,000 tons. This has not yet been calculated for distribution stations, substations, and other supporting facilities. If these supporting facilities are added, tens of thousands of tons are perfect.

The designed annual power generation is 20040 billion kilowatt-hours per year.

This volume and weight are also OK to use an aircraft carrier, but the only troublesome thing is the by-products of nuclear fusion reactors, those neutron absorbers and the super-heavy hydrogen produced.

In addition, the power generation system of the nuclear fusion reactor is different from that of the nuclear fission reactor. After all, the nuclear fission reactor is still boiling water; while the nuclear fusion reactor directly generates power.

When installing on an aircraft carrier, in addition to considering the neutron absorber and super-heavy hydrogen, it is the issue of how to drive the propeller.

You can’t use the electricity to boil water after generating electricity! Wouldn’t it be a waste of time to take off your pants and fart?

Therefore, aircraft carriers on nuclear fusion reactors need to be verified more. Whether to use electric propellers directly or steam turbines, these need to be carefully studied.

Dong Kuan and others finished reading Huang Mingzhe’s newly designed nuclear fusion reactor, which is the real miniaturized nuclear fusion reactor.

The length, width and height are only about 5.35.5 meters, the weight is only about 320 tons, and the annual power generation is about 508 billion kilowatt-hours.

"Mingzhe, how do you plan to deal with the problem of neutron absorbers and super-heavy hydrogen?" Wei Feng asked while looking at the design drawing.

"You open 658 pages and there's a solution."

After Wei Feng opened it, he looked for a while before he suddenly realized: "You are planning to use self-consuming method to inject the super-heavy hydrogen in the neutron absorber into the nuclear fusion reactor."

Dong Kuan also applauded:

"Wonderful! Very wonderful! If used on ships or satellites, we should improve the self-sustainment and nuclear fuel utilization of nuclear fusion reactors as much as possible. This solution is very suitable for small nuclear fusion reactors."

However, Huang Mingzhe shook his head: "It's still too big. It's okay to get on the ship, but it's too heavy to get on the satellite."

"That's true." Dong Kuan nodded helplessly.

This year's improved version of the Long March 5 B carrier rocket has a maximum load of about 33 tons in low-Earth orbit, while the newly designed solution has about 320 tons of nuclear fusion reactors, which is almost 10 times the gap.

"But there is no way." Huang Mingzhe had already had a smaller design plan, but the materials did not meet the requirements.

Wei Feng carefully pondered his words: "Your method is not a room temperature superconductor, right?"

"Wei Feng is the one who knows me." Huang Mingzhe explained with a smile: "Now the weight of the nuclear fusion reactor is mainly concentrated on superconductors, and the weight of the superconductor occupies the entire system 42."

"But our Superconductor Research Institute of our Thinking Society does not seem to have many achievements." Wei Feng thought for a while and said.

If international colleagues heard Wei Feng's words, they would probably vomit blood.

Currently, the Siweishe Superconductor Research Institute can mass-produce superconductors, which only require minus 15.6 degrees Celsius to generate superconducting magnetic fields; while the superconductors in the laboratory can maintain superconducting magnetic fields at minus 3.7 degrees Celsius.

The superconductor required by Wei Feng can be at 2030 degrees Celsius and can still maintain the superconducting magnetic field stably.

Huang Mingzhe spread his hands and said, "This is the only way to do it for the time being. You can get my nuclear fusion reactor first, and we will improve it step by step."

The nuclear fusion reactor developed by Wei Feng and others before fell out of favor as soon as it came out, but what they developed can still be used and is more suitable as a medium-sized nuclear fusion reactor.

In order to facilitate the division of nuclear fusion reactors, the Nuclear Fusion Research Institute divides them according to the annual power generation.

Ultra-large nuclear fusion reactor: annual power generation is more than 1 trillion kilowatt-hours.

Large nuclear fusion reactors: annual power generation is between 100 billion and 1 trillion kilowatt-hours, such as Jinwu type and its improved type.

Medium-sized nuclear fusion reactor: the annual power generation is between 100,100 billion kilowatt-hours, and the Jinwu II model developed by Wei Feng and others recently.

Small nuclear fusion reactor: the annual power generation is between 1010 billion kilowatt-hours. The Jinwu Third Type that Huang Mingzhe just designed is the reactor within this category.

Micro-nuclear fusion reactor: Nuclear fusion reactors with an annual power generation of less than 1 billion kilowatt-hours are micro-numbers.

However, there are other reference values ​​for these levels, especially volume and weight, which are very important for micro fusion reactors.

They can now design reactors below 1 billion kilowatt-hours. The problem is that the volume and weight have not been reduced, which is not as good as small nuclear fusion reactors.

In the nuclear fusion laboratory, the prototype of Jinwu Type 2 is being tested, while the Jinwu Type 3 is entering the construction stage.
