Face the mighty English Expeditionary Fleet.

The Huaxia Navy is waiting for this side in strict formation.

It did not have any impact on the development of Huaxia.

After all, they came from the English side.

It will take a month or two.

Expeditions are time-consuming and laborious.

For the English to be able to organize such a large expeditionary fleet at this time.

It did surprise Zhang Xueming.

However, this may also be the last glory of the Invincible Armada of the Sun Never Sets Empire.

Since then, it is still unknown whether it will still be the number one in the world.

February in China is particularly lively.

Because the New Year is already coming.

Someone also gave Zhang Xueming a big gift before the Spring Festival.

This news comes from the atomic town of Cold Lake.

There was a good news from the atomic energy project team.

The first pressurized water reactor was successfully built and generated electricity.

When Zhang Xueming got the news.

I almost jumped up excitedly.

Although the nuclear fuel abundance of this pressurized water reactor is only 3%.

But this step forward is revolutionary.

This means that Huaxia has taken the most crucial step in the use of atomic energy.

When the news came.

Zhang Xueming arrived at Atomic Town on a special plane.

In the case of wearing heavy protective clothing.

He finally saw the first nuclear reactor with practical properties in China.

The abundance of 3% is destined to be used only for electricity generation.

If you want to use it on ships.

The abundance of nuclear fuel should be at least 20%.

If it were to be used on large warships, the abundance would be 60%.

But when I saw this pressurized water pile at work not far away.

Zhang Xueming's eyes were almost straight.

He knew all too well what this thing meant.

"It's so beautiful, how much power does it generate?"

Zhu Shuhui, head of the atomic energy project team.

It is also under the leadership of this heroine.

It was at such a speed that this PWR was developed.

The first nuclear anti-480 reactor with practical application capabilities.

"10,000 kilowatts, chairman, its output power can reach 10,000 kilowatts."

After hearing this number, it was Zhang Xueming's turn to be surprised.

He looked again at the massive nuclear reactor.

This power is absolutely barbaric.

The fact that the first nuclear reactor could have this output power was indeed very surprising to him.

10,000 kilowatts, that is, 10,000 kWh per hour.

This reactor alone can generate 87 million kWh of electricity a year.

Although the current single-seat generator set of thermal power plants can generate up to 600 megawatts.

That's 600,000 kilowatts.

60 times the size of this pressurized water reactor.

But this thing starts a nuclear reactor, which is very significant.

"Good, very good, you have made a great contribution to the country."

This is a very encouraging statistic.

"Contact the grid side and first cooperate to build an experimental nuclear power plant.

Remember, security must come first.

Once this thing is leaked, the disaster caused by it is devastating.

You should all know very well how harmful it is.

In short, safe things are not sloppy at all. "

Zhu Shuhui nodded and said, "Please rest assured, Chairman, we will definitely put security first."

The first atomic power station will definitely be built as quickly as possible. "

After watching for a while, the group left the building.

It was really uncomfortable to stay inside in heavy protective clothing.

And the temperature inside is still very high.

"I want to ask you a question."

Zhu Shuhui immediately replied, "If the chairman has anything you want to ask, please ask, we will definitely answer if we can answer it." "

Zhang Xueming said directly: "I wonder if I can install this reactor on the submarine and replace the submarine's engine unit."

Power submarines (CJEAs) with unlimited endurance. "

"Nuclear-powered ships?"

After hearing Zhang Xueming's question.

Zhu Shuhui immediately knew his plan.

She said with a smile: "Of course there is no problem, and we have this technology now.

It is nothing more than a small model of pressurized water reactor, which requires higher fuel abundance.

Now we have been able to purify more than 70% uranium-235.

If it is for submarines, then more than 40% is enough. "

After hearing this, Zhang Xueming was stunned.

Are they progressing so quickly?

How long has it been since the first experimental reactor was built.

Now it is actually possible to purify more than 70% of uranium-235?

It seems that he has not cared about the progress on this side of Atomic Town for too long.

Because in his opinion, this thing is very difficult, and it is difficult to have a big breakthrough without a few years.

But now it seems that I underestimated their ability.

And the project is progressing faster than expected.

But think about it, it's about the same time.

It has been more than a year since the first reactor.

Using three purification methods, it seems normal to purify 70% purity.

As long as more than 90% of uranium-235 can be purified.

Then it won't be long before the mushroom egg comes out.

40 years ago, the first mushroom egg in China could definitely be tested.

"Okay, that's good."

Zhang Xueming said happily: "When I go back, I will ask the Ship Design Institute and the Navy to contact you."

First build an experimental nuclear submarine.

No problem, build a completely new submarine. "

He did not expect that the nuclear submarine would actually come out so soon.

This atomic town really surprises him everywhere.

And seventy percent abundance.

In fact, it can already be used as the power system of a nuclear-powered warship.

Not only nuclear-powered submarines, but also nuclear-powered warship projects must be carried out at the same time.

Zhang Xueming would like to see the birth of a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier as soon as possible.

Perhaps they did not see their own country's nuclear-powered aircraft carrier before the crossing. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) )

So I am also very persistent in this regard.

Faced with Zhang Xueming's request, Zhu Shuhui also agreed with a mouthful.

They have taken the most important step.

That is, from 0 to 1 step.

Don't look at the breakthrough of just 1.

But it's countless times harder than going from 1 to 100.

The reactors needed for nuclear submarines and large nuclear-powered warships are just a matter of course.

Take the pressurized water reactor that has been built now.

Its power generation is currently 10,000 kilowatts.

If converted into horsepower.

That's 13,500 horsepower.

And the first generation of American attack nuclear submarines, that is, the Ray-class attack nuclear submarines.

Its underwater displacement is 2851 tons.

It is equipped with an S3W pressurized water reactor and two steam turbines.

The total power is only 7,000 horsepower.

The pressurized water reactor in front of you is completely capable of driving a submarine of more than 5,000 tons in terms of power.

Of course, this is just an unreasonable analogy.

Because nuclear reactors can't directly output power.

It is the steam turbine that determines the power output.

Because nuclear reactors boil water to put it bluntly.

The job they have to do is also very simple.

It just needs to be miniaturized and can be mounted on warships.

This job is relatively not difficult.

It can definitely be completed within a year.

So within three years, that's a year ago.

Zhang Xueming will be able to meet China's first nuclear submarine and first nuclear-powered ship.

The advent of nuclear-powered ships is not far off.

For the day that is coming.

Zhang Xueming is very looking forward to it.

When Zhang Xueming left Atomic Town.

Zhu Shuhui's atomic energy team began to be extremely busy.

They don't just have to work with grid companies to build nuclear power plants.

It is also necessary to miniaturize and lighten the reactor.

Put it on different ships.

This is a big system engineering.

Their workload is also very large.

And what Zhang Xueming can do is also very simple.

Raising their wages is the most direct way.

Of course, the increase in wages was not high, only 20%.

But their performance bonuses have gone up a lot.

On average, their wages have more than doubled.

And Zhang Xueming also approved a bonus for them.

The amount of the prize reached 10 million RMB.

The entire atomic energy team consists of more than 2,000 people.

On average, everyone receives 5,000.

That's not a small amount.

Their current salary level is 60 yuan a month.

This is already a high salary.

Even after the salary increase.

The salary that can be received every month is only 130 yuan.

5,000 yuan is already equivalent to 38 months of their work, that is, three years and two months.

Although they cannot achieve the so-called freedom of wealth.

But this is already a big bonus.

After all, this ten million is not a small amount in itself.

Spurred on by high wages.

The power of the members of the atomic energy group is directly pulled.

In addition to the atomic energy working group.

On the Jinwu planning team's side, Zhang Xueming also walked around before leaving.

At present, their work has been steadily advancing.

According to Sun Hongwei's prediction.

Give them another half a year to be able to purify weapons-grade uranium-235.

As for how long it took to make the first mushroom egg.

Sun Hongwei was not too absolute.

But 40 years ago there was certainly no problem.

And judging by his tone, this time is still very conservative.

Maybe it could be seen 39 years ago.

It was conservative for about a year or two.

After all, only weapons-grade uranium-235 needs to be purified.

Then the other problems are not very big.

Perhaps the biggest threshold is the way to detonate.

This is also known as implosion and marksmanship.

The marksmanship is relatively simple.

But it's not a big deal.

Both methods can be used.

But implosion is definitely better.

Because it is still used in hydrogen bombs.

In mid-February, after more than half a month of discussions.

Two new projects have also been identified on the Navy side.

And both projects are top secret at the highest level.

The first project is the project of nuclear-powered submarines.

The second project is the nuclear-powered cruiser project.

As for nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, they have not yet been directly engaged in one step.

Or first test it on the cruiser and gain experience.

If feasible, it is safest to go directly to the aircraft carrier.

The meal should still be eaten bite by bite, and it is better to walk the road step by step.
