Chapter 279 The most advanced aircraft carrier nuclear power plant!
After two days, Ning Chen basically understood the various major problems encountered in the current project.
These issues include the control of fission reactions, reactor cooling, nuclear radiation protection, nuclear waste processing, etc.
Each of these items did not encounter particularly serious problems, but due to some discrepancies between the actual situation and the plan, it affected the normal progress of the project.
This also made Ning Chen seriously think about whether to modify the design of the entire small nuclear power plant.
Such modifications will naturally not be subversive. They only need to modify certain details. Many main parts can still be retained directly.
After returning to his dormitory, Ning Chen thought carefully.
After carrying Xiaozhi in his brain, Ning Chen can use Xiaozhi's skills anytime and anywhere without the need for any computer equipment.
Using Xiaozhi's modeling processing capabilities, Ning Chen tried to modify the previous nuclear reactor model and simulated the modified situation.
During the modeling process, Ning Chen was a little surprised to find that even without the support of a computer, Xiaozhi's modeling processing speed was not too slow.
"It seems that my brain's calculation speed has reached a very high level now." Ning Chenxin said.
After the brain power index exceeded 200, Ning Chen indeed felt that his brain power had reached a new level, and his computing power had far exceeded that of ordinary people, even those with the strongest computing power in the world. He is at least one level worse than Ning Chen.
In addition, Ning Chen felt that the reason for this result was also inseparable from the difference between the human brain and computers.
Compared to computers, the pure calculation speed of the human brain may be much slower, but the human brain is more intuitive in understanding various information, and does not need to convert information into various programming languages like computers. Only by inputting it into the algorithm can we understand all kinds of information.
Moreover, the human brain has relatively strong creativity and leaps in thinking. When thinking about problems, it will be more flexible and creative.
Therefore, when solving some problems, the human brain actually has more advantages than computers.
The on-site field investigation allowed Ning Chen to obtain more real data, which also helped Ning Chen simulate the situation more accurately.
With the blessing of the upgraded version of concentration state, Ning Chen finally found an ideal new solution to the problem after a night of thinking.
“If the nuclear power plant can be integratedly transformed in this way... maybe all these problems can be solved!”
The so-called integrated transformation , each part will not be modified directly, but the reactor, steam generator, main pump, main pipeline, etc. will be integrated into an overall module.
This integration method is somewhat like integrating a desktop computer into a laptop. Of course, the technology and design are more complex, and it does not affect the performance of any part.
The advantage of this integrated design is that it not only simplifies the system structure, but also reduces the number of devices and interfaces.
In this way, the reliability and safety of the system can be improved, allowing the nuclear power device to display the most powerful power in the smallest space.
Ning Chen sorted out this new design overnight, and used Xiaozhi's modeling processing skills to conduct detailed tests.
After ensuring the feasibility of this plan, Ning Chen could finally sleep peacefully.
The next day, Ning Chen came to the nuclear reactor construction site again.
Looking at the central part of the nuclear reactor, Ning Chen was also thinking about something.
"Hey... It's a pity that Xiaozhi's information perception ability is still a bit small in range. Otherwise, I can test various data in the central part of the nuclear reactor directly here."
A member of the project team next to him saw Ning Chen’s expression and thought that Ning Chen wanted to enter the inner parts of the nuclear reactor, so he quickly tried to persuade him:
"Teacher Ning, can I allow you to enter?" The scene is already our maximum authority. Even if you are wearing protective clothing, we cannot let you go deeper into the area.”
Ning Chen knew that this was all for his own safety, and he would not forcefully enter a more dangerous area in pursuit of more accurate data.
According to the data currently measured by Xiaozhi, the nuclear radiation value nearby is still higher than the normal range. Of course, as long as protective clothing is worn correctly, there will not be any safety risks.
"It's nothing, I just have some ideas suddenly. If possible, let's organize a meeting for everyone now, and let's discuss improvement plans together."
Hearing Ning Chen's words, Ning The people around Chen were also a bit unexpected.
"Teacher Ning...have you come up with an improvement plan?"
"It's not a very mature plan, but I think it still has a certain value for discussion. It doesn't matter. If the time is not convenient now, you can organize a meeting when it is more convenient."
Because The time last night was indeed a bit rushed, and Ning Chen also wanted to organize his plan carefully so that he could explain it better at the meeting.
But Ning Chen’s words undoubtedly aroused great attention from the people around him, and they immediately agreed to organize this meeting.
After all, Ning Chen specially came to the onshore nuclear reactor site in person this time, just to help the project team solve various problems encountered.
In comparison, other tasks in the experimental base will appear to be much less important.
Even though Ning Chen's attitude when talking about this matter was a bit casual, it would be good to be able to exchange ideas with everyone and find some directions for improvement.
While everyone was informed of the meeting time, Ning Chen further organized his plan and prepared for the meeting.
After receiving the notice, soon some core members of the project team stopped what they were doing and came to the conference room to wait.
Ning Chen also brought his laptop and arrived at the conference room on time.
This is the first time for many people here to see Ning Chen in person, and they are a little surprised by Ning Chen's young appearance.
After all, Ning Chen is only in his twenties. Even though he looks more mature than his peers, he still looks a little immature compared to other experts.
However, no one here dares to have even the slightest contempt for Ning Chen, who is a rare world-class scientist in Xia Kingdom.
“I’m sorry to have called everyone here temporarily for this impromptu meeting. Last night I suddenly had some ideas that may be helpful in solving various problems in our onshore nuclear reactors. , so I had to invite everyone here..."
From what Ning Chen meant, he should just have a casual chat with everyone. Of course, such an opportunity is also very precious. These questions take a long time. Nothing has been resolved. However, what surprised everyone was that Ning Chen then displayed a plan on the big screen.
"Everyone, please look at the big screen. This is an improvement plan that I suddenly thought of last night. If our nuclear reactors can be integrated through this integrated reactor model, there is hope that various problems currently encountered can be solved. "
Gradually, everyone realized that Ning Chen's bringing them together this time was not a temporary act, but that he had been fully prepared beforehand. .
This made everyone present feel very incredible.
After all, only a few days have passed since Ningchen arrived at the onshore nuclear reactor experimental base in Qiong Province.
In such a period of time, it is not easy to go around the entire onshore nuclear reactor experimental base and understand the situation here.
However, in such a short period of time, Ning Chen not only understood the various problems that existed here and found the corresponding solutions, but even organized them into detailed plans. This really shocked them.
After learning about Ning Chen’s optimized design plan, everyone felt that this plan was indeed excellent and could potentially solve various problems that arise in the current project.
“Such a design can further simplify the safety system and greatly reduce the possibility of failure.”
“It can be seen that this is a completely passive safety system, including flammable Gas, emergency waste heat removal, emergency core cooling, automatic pressure relief, containment air cooling, etc. are all passive systems that do not require human intervention to achieve safe operation of the reactor. ”
"The improved solution uses a built-in modular high-efficiency DC steam generator, which can reduce heat dissipation losses. The equipment has high heat exchange efficiency and a very compact structure. Even if an accident occurs, the reactor will not be overcooled, ensuring the overall Security is within control”
After discussion, experts in various nuclear fields in the conference room agreed to make changes according to Ning Chen's plan.
“Since everyone agrees with Teacher Ning’s point of view, we will be ready to try this new solution from now on.” said the person in charge of the project.
Since this new plan is a modification and optimization based on the original plan, it will not have a fundamental impact on the normal work progress, and the improved plan will progress faster.
Ning Chen was not in a hurry to go back, so he decided to follow the project team to complete the improved and optimized plan before considering returning to Shengzhou.
Otherwise, even if Ning Chen goes back, he will still be thinking about the Qiong Province onshore nuclear reactor project, and may need to come back again.
...
As time passed day by day, the improved plan was gradually established.
This plan went very smoothly, perhaps because Ning Chen was stationed at the site and could provide guidance on the project at any time.
Once there are any subtle differences, Ning Chen can also use Xiaozhi's information perception function to immediately detect the differences and correct these details.
Finally, with everyone’s continuous efforts, the improved plan was successfully completed.
With the completion of the plan, the first test will officially begin.
Ning Chen also feels very nervous and looking forward to the upcoming test. Although it is only the first test, it can basically prove whether Ning Chen's improved plan is effective.
Before the test started, Ning Chen came to the experimental base, the deepest area he could go, and waited for the test to begin.
In the central area of the experimental base, there are already many researchers making final preparations before the test begins.
Because this place is relatively close to the nuclear reactor in the center, this is an area with slightly greater nuclear radiation. Of course, as long as you wear protective clothing correctly, you will not be affected in any way.
After this test, the experimental base will continue to build a more rigorous radiation shielding layer near the nuclear reactor to achieve the purpose of completely resisting nuclear radiation.
With the order of the project commander, the nuclear reaction officially began.
Since Ning Chen was a little far away from the nuclear reaction center, he could not directly use Xiaozhi's information perception ability to measure data, so he had to watch the various data on the central control screen.
But soon, everyone was shocked by the test data this time.
What did not disappoint everyone was that the improved plan did solve various problems existing in the previous plan.
What surprises everyone even more is that even with the integrated integration process, the horsepower of the entire nuclear reactor has not been reduced, and has even been improved compared to the original solution.
"The power value of just one nuclear reactor reaches 400 megawatts... Calculated in this way, if two such nuclear reactors are mounted on a nuclear aircraft carrier, they can reach about 300,000 horsepower!"< br>
Thinking of this, Ning Chen immediately became excited.
According to the normal configuration of nuclear aircraft carriers in this era, a nuclear aircraft carrier can carry two small nuclear reactors.
Ning Chen quickly went through various data and made calculations in his mind.
Soon, Ning Chen came up with some deduced calculation results.
“35 knots! Even when the aircraft carrier is 100,000 tons, an aircraft carrier equipped with two such nuclear reactors can reach a speed of 35 knots!”
Such a speed , even the most advanced aircraft carrier of the lighthouse country cannot reach it.
After receiving such a result, Ning Chen's excitement was beyond words.
At this moment, although others present did not immediately calculate these results like Ning Chen, they also knew what the data obtained now meant.
During the entire test, the nuclear reaction progressed very steadily without any obvious fluctuations.
The temperature and duration of nuclear reactions are also an important factor in testing the performance of nuclear devices.
If it has high power but cannot operate stably and continuously, it will be difficult for such a nuclear power device to be applied.
