From Impel Down to the Multiverse

The third idea.

This is also a technical solution that Wang Gao is most eager to accomplish-controllable nuclear power generation technology.

The research institute for this technology is not in the cloud, but in the seventh reserve of the Kingdom of Food.

The seventh reserve is located on an island deep in the East Blue Calm Belt. The animals and plants here have undergone large-scale genetic mutations due to the long-term effects of nuclear radiation.

The research institute is set up on the west South Blue shore of the island, where there is a shallow shoal, which is also far away from the core area of ​​radioactive materials.

However, for safety reasons, the entire research institute uses a special raw material, that is, N hydrogen particle material.

The damage caused by radioactive materials to organisms is ionizing radiation and neutron irradiation. Although lead plates can block a large part of ionizing radiation, there are still certain shortcomings in the face of neutron irradiation.

N hydrogen is a pure neutron material, and it is also the most abundant neutron material in the mantle of blue sea stars, which is also the most easily available neutron material at present.

N hydrogen particles or Kairosaki (N sodium) form a protective layer that can effectively shield ionizing radiation and neutron radiation.

Of course, Busoshoku (N-Oxygen) expert can also protect against ionizing radiation and neutron radiation. It is necessary to maintain Busoshoku's body coverage for a long time, which is a very big test for physical strength.

Wang Gao mixed some substances with hydrogen particles to create a transparent film covering the outer layer of the institute and the research area.

In addition, more than a dozen researchers engaged in research in this area have also carried out special Busoshoku Haki special training, and they wear special protective clothing and testing equipment every day.

It is to avoid contamination with radioactive materials.

The radioactive material in the seventh protection zone is a potash vanadium uranium ore, rich in uranium. The total mineral reserves are about 730,000 tons, and the uranium content is about 0.73% to 0.92%. .

If all of it is extracted, about 5640 tons of uranium can be obtained, of which 235, which can be used as nuclear fuel, is about 7.6 tons.

The remaining overwhelming majority are uranium-238, but uranium-238 is also very valuable because it can be transformed into another nuclear fuel-plutonium through neutron strikes.

Wang Gao looked at my group of star-rated motors, storage batteries, etc., which are basically ready for use, and he came to the Nuclear Research Institute in the Seventh Reserve.

For research in the nuclear field, even in the future kingdom, not many people are doing research.

In fact, in Wang Gao’s view, scientific research in the future kingdom is largely "archaeological" research. Many technologies are the legacy of lunar civilization, or are derived and improved from their foundations. , Recovered.

Including Vegapunk’s wisdom that claims to be five hundred ahead of the world, in fact, it has a lot to do with the legacy of lunar civilization.

Of course, Begapunk’s own wisdom is also very high.

The Kingdom of the future does not have many relevant talents, so Wang Gao can only train himself. The dozens of nuclear researchers in the institute are all his students.

He came here through the shadow channel, and a crowd of students happily surrounded him.

"Sensei."

One of the square-faced black hair youngsters happily said to him: "Sensei, the Zhurong No.1 we built, has been successful after these days of improvement. Power generation."

Wang Gao looked towards the most innate talent student: "A Heng, how is the continuous operation of Zhurong One?"

"Sensei, this is the recent "Experimental record of the empire." Zhang Heng handed him the biological computer, and then explained:

"We have improved the design of the first version, and now it can run safely for a long time, but the test under combat conditions is temporarily unconditional. ."

The technology of Zhurong No. 1 nuclear fission reactor, which has been improved many times, is indeed relatively mature.

When Wang Gao and Zhang Heng and the others at first studied, they directly covered Busoshoku and resisted nuclear radiation.

This is also one of the advantages of Blue Seastar's Innate. Busoshoku can resist nuclear radiation, leading to many seemingly dangerous operations that can be forced by personnel.

For the Early-Stage reactor, if fuel rods need to be replaced, or fuel rods are overheated and melted, they are all manual troubleshooting.

If there is no Busoshoku coverage, even if it is a protective suit wearing a lead composite board, it will be difficult to ensure safety in the core area of ​​the reactor.

The internal design of Zhurong No. 1 nuclear fission reactor consists of fuel rods containing 5.7% uranium 235, graphite slow-release nest, N silicon thermal energy circulation pipeline, thermoelectric generator, emergency stop nest, radiator, N Composition of silicon-N-hydrogen composite protective layer.

The reason why he chose 5.7% uranium-235 fuel rods instead of his previous life’s 4% uranium-235 fuel rods.

at first Wang Gao was also a bit empirical. He chose 4% fuel rods. As a result, the nuclear reaction was very slow and could not reach the expected heat output.

After re-adjusting the test, he found that the physical rules of the blue sea star are slightly different from the previous life. The optimal concentration of uranium-235 fuel rods should be maintained at about 5.7% to achieve high response. Efficiency and meet safety requirements.

Because of the possession of neutron materials, there are many choices of materials for related parts and components in nuclear fission reactors.

The thermal energy circulation pipeline composed of N silicon is filled with N sodium particles as an intermediate medium for heat exchange.

The thermoelectric Generator System, whose technology comes from the thermal shell and energy-absorbing shell in Skypiea shell, has a thermoelectric conversion efficiency of up to 72.3%.

Through the design of Level 2 thermal energy circulation loop, the thermoelectric conversion efficiency can be increased to the limit of about 92.3%.

Wang Gao finished reading the experimental test data, nodded: "Very good, Zhurong No. 1 has reached 500 megawatts of power generation, and the volume meets the requirements."

"I It is estimated that after a few months of careful adjustment, it can be put into mass production." Zhang Heng is full of confidence in this.

The parameters of the Zhurong No. 1 nuclear fission reactor are approximately: length 16 meters, width 8 meters, and height 8 meters.

Using a modular design, it looks like two metal cubes spliced ​​together.

For a large group of stars, three Zhurong No.1s can be installed to form a maximum output power of 1500 megawatts, which is basically sufficient for use.

After all, the stars have the special technology of floating cloud airbags that can generate anti-gravity. It does not need to use low-efficiency chemical propulsion, and the utilization rate of electric energy will be much higher.

3 Zhurong No.1s, of which 1 is used as flight power, 1 is used as auxiliary power and backup, and 1 is used as energy supply for laser cannon.

Laser cannon technology is also derived from the laser shell of Skypiea shell.

The propellers and oars in the original design of Ark Proverbs were also cancelled by Wang Gao and replaced with kinetic energy engines derived from Reject Dial.

Kinetic energy engines use nuclear reactors to supply electrical energy, and then convert the electrical energy into kinetic energy, but this requires a certain amount of liquid nitrogen to be stored as the working medium of the kinetic energy engine.

The general parameters of the hull size of the group star are: 510 meters in length, 90 meters in width, 120 meters in height, 72,000 tons of dead weight, and 123,000 tons of maximum load.

It is equipped with three Zhurong No. 1 nuclear fission reactors with a maximum output power of 1500 megawatts.

8 laser cannons, 8 240mm naval guns, 30 30mm anti-aircraft guns, 4 240mm 8-barrel rocket launchers, and bomb-type bombs. The ammunition is fully equipped with metal hydrogen (explosive rock). Warhead.

The keel and shell of the battleship are made of high-strength composite materials, which are comparable in strength to the eternal rock from which Poneglyph is made, and have the characteristics of a memory alloy.

In the future, further upgrades will be considered, such as the addition of electromagnetic guns and missiles. The technology of these weapons is not yet fully mature before they are on board.
