Just when Xie Qing’s team started to form his own scientific research studio.

With the support of the Suiren Division, the prototype of Tanggu No. 1 has entered the final sprint stage in the Tanggu base in the Altagobi area in the northern desert.

Huang Xiuyuan used a substitute robot to appear deep underground in the base. At this time, the Tanggu No. 1 prototype had already undergone a huge change from the beginning.

At the beginning, the Tanggu No. 1 system was designed, and all the systems seemed very rough, and some systems were taken directly from existing equipment.

In the past year of design and construction, Wan Gaofeng's team discovered many problems and gradually improved the design.

The core reactor of Tanggu No. 1 has a height of 137 meters, a width of 54 meters and a length of 63 meters.

The supporting yang electron internal circulation system, yang electron supply system, steam turbine power generation system, nuclear waste recycling system, etc. occupy 65% ​​of the space of the underground base several kilometers long and 300 meters wide.

Huang Xiuyuan stood not far from the core reactor. The shape of this core reactor was like a large large jar, and it looked like the erected large jars in a common concrete modulation factory nowadays.

He flipped through the semi-sectional diagram of the internal structure on the tablet computer. Inside the large jar, in addition to the positive electron flow layer, the proton recovery filter, the nuclear reaction waste collector, and the photothermal composite power generation board system.

These photothermal photovoltaic power plates are like fish scales, arranged neatly and combined, wrapped outside the solar electron flow layer.

Behind the photovoltaic photothermal plate is a layer of lead plate with a thickness of 12 cm, which is used to defend against gamma rays.

There are five products of nuclear fusion, namely: photons, neutrinos, electrons, neutrons, and nuclear fusion nuclei.

Neutralis do not need to be paid attention to, because this particle does not carry huge energy, nor does it harm equipment and humans, it can penetrate all things.

Neutrons are the most troublesome particles before. The high-energy neutrons produced in nuclear fusion reactions. In the total energy generated by nuclear fusion reactions, neutrons carry 75 to 80% of the energy.

In fact, if humans cannot use the energy of neutrons, the energy generated by unit of nuclear fuel in nuclear fusion reaction may not be too much higher than that of fission reactors.

Tanggu No. 1 uses the yang electron flux to transform high-energy electrons and turn them into high-energy charged protons. Therefore, this part of the energy is the big fat meat in the entire reaction.

The remaining photons, electrons, and nuclei only carry 20 to 25% of the energy, while the energy carried by electrons, nuclei and nuclei will also be used.

In the end, only photons are left, including X-rays, gamma rays, visible light, ultraviolet rays and infrared rays.

The most dangerous photons are gamma rays and X-rays, so lead plate blocking must be set. In addition, key electronic devices will be wrapped with thick lead plates to ensure that they will not be disturbed and damaged by these high-energy rays.

"Gaofeng, thank you for your hard work."

Wan Gaofeng shook his head modestly: "It's all my duty. It's my honor to build this equipment with my own hands to achieve controllable nuclear fusion."

Huang Xiuyuan continued: "I looked at your progress chart. Tanggu No. 1 should be completed in January next year."

"Yes." Wan Gaofeng thought for a while and replied: "The systems designed now have been in place one after another, and there is only a small part of the components. I believe the construction will be completed soon."

Huang Xiuyuan reminded: "Although Tanggu No. 1 has almost reached the current perfect stage from the simulation experiment, be careful of everything, after all, this is a nuclear fusion reaction."

"Thank you, Chairman, for your reminder." Wan Gaofeng nodded.

Any experiment must be based on safety. Although Tanggu No. 1 has taken into account all aspects of the design, some unexpected problems may still occur during the actual operation.

Controllable nuclear fusion, although called controllable nuclear fusion, does not mean that you can rest assured.

Huang Xiuyuan said another thing: "The progress of Jinwu No. 1 in Bazhong is quite fast, and it is estimated that it will be put into trial operation around May next year."

"I've communicated with there a few times, and it's really fast."

While discussing, the two of them inspected the entire Tanggu base.

When we come to the electron proton flow circulation area, the core power generation system is arranged here. The current power generation technology has become very advanced, but it is essentially boiling water.

Although domestic and foreign academic circles have always wanted to get rid of boiling water and use magnetofluid power generation systems, the current magnetofluid power generation technology is still immature.

Especially when applied to electron proton flows of nuclear fusion, this is even more difficult.

Huang Xiuyuan was powerless to do anything about this. In the electron proton flow circulation pipeline, an electrostatic field was used to control these electron proton flows.

If you want to recombine the magnetic fluid power generation system, it may lead to problems with the electrostatic field control system. After all, both are electromagnetic systems, and mutual influence and interference are inevitable.

Therefore, the immature magnetofluid power generation system has naturally not been applied to Tanggu No. 1 and Jinwu No. 1.

Tanggu No. 1 still uses a steam turbine with boiling water to generate electricity, using 6 1,000 MW steam turbines, with a total installed capacity of 6,000 MW. Calculated by 8,000 hours of power generation per year, the annual power generation can reach 48 million MW, or 48 billion kilowatts.

Optoelectronic power generation systems and temperature differential power generation systems can generate about 12 billion kilowatts of electricity each year.

Calculated, the total installed capacity of Tanggu No. 1 reached 7,500 megawatts, and the comprehensive thermal efficiency reached about 72%.

This efficiency is already higher than that of the current domestic fission pressurized water reactors. After many upgrades and transformations, the domestic old pressurized water reactors have been installed, such as the installation of a temperature differential power generation system and the use of a new Beifeng heavy steam turbine, which has increased the comprehensive thermal efficiency to about 62%.

Of course, even if controlled nuclear fusion comes out, it will not replace the fission reactor immediately, because the by-products of the fission reactor, such as carbon 14 and plutonium, can create nuclear decay batteries and stabilize radioactive sources.

Especially in the aerospace field, nuclear decay batteries made of carbon 14 play a very important role.

Moreover, the cost of current controllable nuclear fusion power plants remains high. The main advantage is that the nuclear fuel abundance of nuclear fusion is relatively large.

After all, Tanggu No. 1 can only use deuterium as the raw material, and does not require expensive and rare tritium and helium 3, and can be directly refined in large quantities through heavy water.

The abundance of deuterium in seawater is about three-tenths of a hundred thousand, and it seems to be very low. The problem is that the total amount of water resources in Blue Star is large enough.

The deuterium in the sea water around the world is extracted, and there are several megatons of tons.

If we follow the current electricity consumption of humans, these deuterium elements will be enough for humans to use for tens of billions of years.

The advantage of pure deuterate fusion reaction is that the nuclear fuel abundance is very large, which is enough to support humans to enter the interstellar era. Unlike uranium, plutonium, tritium, helium 3, etc., it is a rare resource.

The raw materials have high abundance and are not difficult to refine. They can be directly ionized and evaporated, or membrane filtration, high-speed centrifugation and so on.

Nuclear power can be used as energy to extract a large amount of deuterium elements.

The cost of raw materials has decreased, while other components and supporting facilities of the system can also use a large amount of cheap electricity to feed back to these manufacturers, further reducing their production costs.
