MTL - My Items Have an Upgrade Panel-Chapter 227 Nuclear reactor with energy and power integration
Chapter 227 Energy and power integrated nuclear reactor
In the afternoon.
A transport plane landed on the company's airport runway, and then unloaded a special tank from it.
The outer layer is metal, and the inner layer is lead.
"President Tang, please sign for it." The person in charge of delivering the core of the nuclear rocket found Tang Rui and asked him to sign.
"Okay, sorry to trouble you." Tang Rui said after signing.
The other party put away Tang Rui's autographed receipt, returned to the transport plane, and then returned.
Tang Rui asked Honglian to transport the things back to the assembly workshop.
In the final assembly workshop, the 300i-shaped space shuttle has already been built, and now the power and energy core are missing, and it can take off directly after installing it.
But Tang Rui didn't plan to equip the space shuttle with this equipment, not because of anything else, mainly when he designed it, he made the simplest design.
The purpose is for the fuel rods in it.
"Honglian, take out the fuel rods in the equipment and pay attention to the radiation problem." Tang Rui said to Honglian.
"Master, don't worry, Honglian's work is guaranteed to be safe."
Guren controlled the robot, opened the jar, and took out 36 fuel rods that were only as thick as a pencil inside.
None of these fuel rods have been inserted into the reactor yet.
The fission reaction did not start.
After taking out the fuel rods, the robot put the lid back on the tank, and then sprayed the radiation-eliminating solution.
Although the radiation leaked just now is not a lot.
But the cleanup still needs to be cleaned up.
Tang Rui was in the laboratory and saw that Honglian had put the fuel rods away, so he didn't care about things over there.
"Guren, project the reactor model of the core of the nuclear-powered rocket, and then cancel the external heating pipe."
"Good master."
Tang Rui began to modify the core reactor of the nuclear-powered rocket.
The current nuclear-powered rockets all rely on heat to ignite the propellant. Such a structure and ignition method can exert the true power of a nuclear reactor.
Only by allowing liquid hydrogen to directly enter the reactor and participate in the reaction chain can the full power of the particle flow be brought into play.
Although it is not as efficient as nuclear fusion.
But it is enough for current use.
The specific impulse of 7500 seconds completely crushes all the current chemical fuel rockets, and the two are not at the same level at all.
Current chemical fuel rockets have a maximum specific impulse of 300 seconds.
The gap between the two is 25 times.
certainly.
This is not without problems. There are indeed many technical problems that need to be solved, the most important of which is the problem of nuclear radiation.
This problem cannot be solved.
Don’t talk about nuclear-powered rockets, at most it’s a replica of Pluto’s nuclear-powered missiles.
How to solve this problem?
Magnetic field.
Originally, the nozzle of the rocket needs to be adjusted with a magnetic field. No material can withstand the flow of particles converted from liquid hydrogen after the chain reaction.
That temperature is too high.
Can only be limited by magnetic fields.
And it is necessary to pass through multi-layer magnetic fields and magnetic channels to effectively control the hot high-temperature plasma flow.
The specific design was conceived by scientists decades ago, but they just couldn't be made.
Whether it is engineering technology or material performance.
are not up to their requirements.
If Tang Rui hadn't solved the material problem, he wouldn't be able to do it either. He could only use system enhancement.
Now he can not only make it, but also optimize it.
For example, the cooling system.
Constrained by the magnetic field and isolated by the inner wall of the neutron-proof material, the entire reactor does not need such a huge cooling system at all, and even the power generation device does not need to use traditional boiling water, but directly generates electricity through magnetic fluid The device completes power generation, and while generating power, it does not affect propulsion.
With Tang Rui's modification and Honglian's simulation calculation.
Didn't take long.
The design of the brand-new nuclear reactor, which integrates the power core and the energy core, has been completed.
"Guren, start building the reactor."
After Honglian simulated and confirmed that there was no problem, Tang Rui directly ordered the manufacture.
"Okay, master, it is expected to be finished in three and a half hours."
Tang Rui looked at the time.
It's past three o'clock now.
After dinner at night, it can be made.
The reason why the speed is so fast is mainly because the internal design has been simplified a lot. Many originally complicated engineering designs were directly replaced by powerful material properties.
Even the radiation protection layer that was originally needed, the thick lead plate, was directly replaced by the electromagnetic coil.
This is the benefit of the material breakthrough.
"After the manufacturing is completed, insert the fuel rod directly and test it." Tang Rui got up, explained to Honglian, and left the laboratory.
He doesn't need to worry about the rest.
Put on your smart glasses.
Tang Rui went to the company's square to fight monsters and upgrade.
It is working time now.
Employees are all working, and no one is fighting monsters and treasure chests with him. A large number of monsters in the entire company are all his.
Play until the company gets off work.
He just left.
It doesn't work if you don't leave.
After a group of employees punched out of get off work, they rushed into the square, released their own beasts, and started hunting monsters.
Tang Rui was also very helpless about this.
After dinner at night.
Tang Rui returned to the laboratory.
Guren is testing the reactor that has just been manufactured, and the current data is normal.
Don't say anything else.
The power generation alone reached 280 megawatts.
The specific impulse didn’t exceed much, it only reached 7800 seconds.
The data is normal.
The work situation is also very stable.
The most important thing is that this reactor is safe and there will be no nuclear leaks.
The electromagnetic coil that wraps the core, the magnetic field generated can firmly bind the energy released after the chain reaction in it.
Does it sound a bit like nuclear fusion?
Not really.
His nuclear reactor is still nuclear fission.
So the real hazards of the core are only nuclear radiation and ultra-high temperature, which have little effect on the magnetic field.
If he puts his magnetic field coil on the nuclear fusion reactor, it will dawn in less than a second.
The two are not at the same level.
The requirements for magnetic field strength are not at the same level.
A real nuclear fusion reactor requires a super strong magnetic field of at least 60T to restrain it. At present, Eagle Sauce has only produced a maximum of 34T, and it is still in the laboratory.
The nuclear fusion reactor used for real test ignition, even if superconducting coils are used and soaked in liquid helium, the magnetic field strength is only 13.4T.
And his reactor only needs a 1T magnetic field to firmly bind the energy of the core.
Even this is a bit overkill, in fact, 6000 Gauss is almost the same.
But the extra point is nothing.
Anyway, where is the power generation.
Any way to make it is enough.
Tang Rui glanced at the test data of the reactor, and found that there was nothing wrong with it, basically within the estimated range.
"After all the tests are over, install it on the space shuttle, and it will be completed by ten o'clock tomorrow morning at the latest."
"Okay, master."
Happy New Year everyone, there is one more chapter before 12pm
