Chapter 1356 Before lighting the sun
After a long silence, Peng Juexian put the information in his hand back on the table, and asked cautiously: "Before giving any conclusion, I will first You need to know some understanding of the magnetic fluid generator in this solution... You know, my research direction is mainly nuclear devices, and it is not very professional in power generation equipment..."
Hearing this sentence Chang Haonan glanced at the monitor in front of him and curled his lips secretly -
A copy of the internal reference data written by the other party was opened on the computer, titled "Overview and Outlook of the Next Generation Nuclear Power Device".
Although the quality of the internal reference is not only different, ranging from the prophetic school to the full of nonsense, considering that the current document was written directly to the decision-making level and copied to the Industrial and Construction Committee by the original text, it obviously still has 100 million points of influence. .
When now, the author says he doesn’t understand power generation equipment?
According to this standard, I, I, may not know much about aircraft engines.
Fortunately, Peng Juexian's question happened to be the point.
If it is other parts of the plan, then Chang Haonan really doesn't have much to say.
But the magnetofluid generator...
"Academician Peng doesn't have to worry."
He turned around and signaled to the office window:
"Magnetic fluid generation is indeed a past A rather unpopular concept, but we happen to have a principle prototype on hand, just on the other side of Science City... If you want to visit, please follow me..."
"Ah?"
<< br>
Peng Juexian froze directly on the chair.
As Chang Haonan guessed, his main expertise is in nuclear device design, but since China completed its last nuclear test in 1996, the focus of research has shifted to the fields of nuclear power generation and isotope manufacturing.
This change was entirely caused by external reasons for the adjustment of nuclear policy and changes in the international situation. In fact, he was only 55 years old that year, and he was still in the battle.
Now that almost eleven years have passed, it is obviously impossible to make any progress in the new direction.
So what I just said was to find a reason as a buffer.
Faced with this completely unexpected situation, out of safe considerations, we must not give a rash conclusion.
So I picked the most unfamiliar module in the picture as a shield, and prepared to go back and think about it carefully.
So I was told that this thing is not only not a concept, but even the prototype was made without a sound?
For a moment, Peng Juexian even wondered if he really didn't understand power generation equipment...
After coming back to his senses, he exhaled a long sigh.
Then he only spit out one word:
"Go."
Han Chenfeng is not in the laboratory at this time, and the entire equipment is also in a state of shutdown and maintenance, ready to be upgraded. .
So Chang Haonan had to introduce Peng Juexian himself.
"This is the principle verification equipment we currently use in our research..."
Almost exactly the same as yesterday's plot.
However, this time it was Chang Haonan who shot the flange at the end of the detonation section while pointing out the role played by each part in front of him.
The entire power generation system seems complicated, but on the surface it looks like it is composed of only a winding tube.
It is very different from the nuclear power device that Peng Juexian usually faces, which is comparable to steampunk.
He thought about the words for a long time before he gave an evaluation with extremely high emotional intelligence:
"It's really... refined."
Chang Haonan was open-minded and immediately changed to a more straightforward statement:
"It's really a little simpler at the moment, mainly to come up with a lot of things. Considering the R&D cycle, the detonation section was directly designed to scale down on the basis of a large wind tunnel, otherwise such an exaggerated length would not be required. "
Peng Jue really didn't understand the wind tunnel at all, only Whatever Chang Haonan can say is what he says.
So he quickly skipped the middle part and came to the power generation channel that served as the load.
It can be seen that although Peng Juexian had a very good control on the surface and looked like "I'll just take a look", he was extremely interested in it. So much so that he didn't care at all that he made a statement like "I don't understand generators" fifteen minutes ago.
After staring at it for a while, the first sentence was: "If I guessed correctly, this should be a segmented Faraday configuration. Generator? "
Chang Haonan complained in his heart that you didn't act anymore, but nodded and replied:
"That's right, it's also for simplifying the structure... and the Faraday principle's power generation channel structure is relatively simple and easy to combine with the surface suction technology."
In fact, this should be considered as two separate pieces. matter.
The power generation structure was designed by Han Chenfeng, and the suction electrode was an idea that Chang Haonan only came up with later.
It's just a small detail, so there is no need to introduce too much to Peng Juexian.
The latter's attention has been completely focused on the device in front of him:
"Is the design drawing convenient for me to see?"
In fact, logic is already a bit sensitive.
After all, you belong to different research institutions, and you are an expert in this field. If you learn from it after reading it, there is no place to make any decision.
No mistakes, one poem, one post, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one read!
So after asking, Peng Juexian quickly added:
"No special details are needed, just improve the overall structure..."
Chang Haonan said it didn't matter, and directly signaled the staff to open the design plan for the power generation channel, and even included the entire calculation process.
It's not that he is not vigilant enough, but because of his current status in the world, if someone dares to do such a stealing result, he probably doesn't want to stay in China.
Peng Jue first asked someone for a glass of water, and then sat down in front of the computer.
It took most of the day at first glance.
I didn't even have lunch.
And when he raised his head again, he had already thrown his thoughts behind his head:
"Academician Chang, according to your previous statement, he should want to be in space. Explore the field of applying this technology? "
As soon as Chang Haonan heard this, he knew that the other party was about to say something real, so he nodded immediately: "Although the standard combination of solar panels-batteries is technology Mature, but there are defects in power supply capacity and service life, and there is not always enough light in the space environment... In the long run, fusion energy is of course the most fundamental solution, but before this, it still needs to be more Feasible technology to help us wait until the day when controlled nuclear fusion is implemented."
"It is obviously unrealistic to boil water in space. The power generation capacity of isotope power supplies is too weak. It may be feasible to drive a robot, but it is impossible to supply energy to a space facility or base. Therefore, it is feasible to determine the idea of magnetic fluid power generation. After that, I immediately thought of combining it with nuclear energy and designing an energy source that directly realizes thermoelectric conversion..."
When hearing that Chang Haonan also regarded controlled nuclear fusion as the real future, Peng Juexian immediately He showed a surprise expression of finding a confidant.
But he resisted the desire to further discuss and did not over-disperse the topic:
"If this is the case, the high temperature brought by the helium/xenon mixed working fluid is not a big problem. ”
He took out the principle diagram given by Chang Haonan again, pointed to the part of the reactor and explained:
"On the one hand, the temperature of the alien planet's environment is low, which is relatively conducive to heat dissipation... Of course, if there is no atmosphere, the situation will be a little more complicated, but it is still less than the problems that need to be considered on the earth; on the other hand, it is impossible to consider in space anyway If you change the nuclear fuel, it is better to simply create an integrated design of the stack and core, so that you can use a high-temperature resistant cermet matrix... Specifically, it is tungsten modified with uranium dioxide and digadolinium trioxide. As the coating material for nuclear fuel, it is not a big problem to maintain normal operation between 2500-3000K. "
"There are several main obstacles I can think of at present. First, the operation mechanism of your nuclear battery and All reactors are different at present, so the physical calculations of the core and Thermal computing needs to be started from scratch, which is equivalent to going through the development process of nuclear power again... I have some experience in this field, but it is best to do it in combination with a specific project, otherwise it will be difficult to get enough Resources, of course, need time more importantly..."
"The second is that since you want to develop space energy, the volume must be compact enough to ensure it can be used as a combined spacecraft, or the alien base you mentioned just now A part of the projected operation cycle is quickly replaced after the expected 8-10 years of operation cycle. It is probably not possible to fill a house like now..."
"The third is..."
Despite a series of problems being pointed out, the situation is still much more optimistic than Chang Haonan's previous estimates.
After all, the two most important ones can be solved by Peng Jue first, while the other can be solved by himself...
"The volume must have further potential for further optimization."
Chang Hao Nan replied very confidently: "The reason why the verification equipment is like this is mainly because the hydrogen-oxygen detonation section itself cannot be made very small, and it requires a long enough power generation channel, and nuclear batteries are used. The reactor instead of the detonation section to generate plasma. As for the generator..."
He pointed to the magnetic fluid generator drawn into a disc on the diagram:
"Although this is a simplified diagram, I'm not doing it."
After saying that, another project file was opened from the computer.
Above is a gyro-shaped thing:
"In terms of application, we will replace the Faraday generator with a disc generator with Hall principle... although the paper size may be Nothing changes, but the size of a single direction is much smaller, making it easier to be integrated into a cylindrical or spherical space..."
