Zhao Zhongyao suddenly thought of the novelty of the atomic engine, which surprised even himself. I don't know how I came up with this concept.

"That's right, so I can continue my research on atomic energy. I must research the atomic engine."

Because Zhao Zhongyao could not study the atomic bomb, he was very depressed for a while. Now that I have this novel idea, I am naturally very happy again.

But ideas are just ideas, and it takes a lot of hard work to turn ideas into reality.

Although Zhao Zhongyao came from the 21st century, in that world, there was no such advanced machinery as an atomic engine.

In that world, the way people use nuclear energy is to build large nuclear power plants. Of course, some developed countries can also use nuclear reactors to generate power to build aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines.

No matter how it is used, a large uranium atomic reactor is required to provide thermal energy, and then the thermal energy is converted into kinetic energy through a steam engine.

Zhao Zhongyao thought that if he wanted to make an atomic engine, he would first have to make a miniature atomic reactor. Let the little engine convert the thermal energy of the atomic reactor into kinetic energy.

In order to manufacture miniature atomic reactors, enriched uranium is also needed, but the purity does not need to be very high, generally 30% purity is enough.

However, even if you want to purify uranium with a purity of 30%, it will take a lot of time and financial resources!

Of course pure natural uranium can also be used as fuel, but heavy water must be used as a deceleration aid. Heavy water is rare in nature. Only one ten-thousandth of ordinary water. It is also a laborious and time-consuming task to extract heavy water from ordinary water.

Zhao Zhongyao wants to build a micro-reactor, the first thing to solve is how to get some uranium ore with high purity natural uranium.

If the purity of this uranium ore is high enough, assuming it has reached 30% purity, then heavy water is not needed as a deceleration aid, and ordinary water can be used as a deceleration aid.

"Before, the content of uranium ore we found on Mushroom Island was very high! I don't know if there is 30%!" Zhao Zhongyao thought of the piece of uranium ore they had brought back from Mushroom Island before.

At that time, I just tested it casually, and I felt that the purity was quite high. The specific amount was not tested seriously yet! Why don't you check it out again! If the concentration is high enough, it is possible to directly use this uranium ore as fuel for a miniature atomic reactor.

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhongyao went to the laboratory again, and he tested that piece of uranium ore with a special radioactivity detector.

"Ah, the purity is really high! It's 28%! This shows that there must be a lot of uranium ore with a purity of more than 30% on Mushroom Island.

If this is the case, the uranium ore can be directly used as fuel for micro-reactors. "

Zhao Zhongyao's test results made him very happy, and he felt that God seemed to be helping him too! If this high-concentration uranium vein had not been discovered, it would have been impossible to study his atomic engine!

Now that there is such a high concentration of raw uranium ore, it means that he can directly use these uranium ore as the core component of the atomic engine he developed - the 'fuel' in the atomic reactor.

The working principle of the atomic engine designed by Zhao Zhongyao is like this. He feels that a piece of high-concentration uranium ore can be placed in a closed container that can shield radiation. Then pour some ordinary water into this container.

Uranium ore emits neutron rays continuously in water. These neutron rays can hit the hydrogen atoms in the water, causing the hydrogen atoms to detach from the oxygen atoms, which is equivalent to ionizing ordinary water, and then generating hydrogen and oxygen.

After that, use a conduit to input the collected hydrogen into the cylinder of the engine, and push the piston of the cylinder to do work, so that the atomic engine starts to work.

Of course, if it is a jet engine, the duct can also be inserted deep into the duct of the jet engine to let the hydrogen burn in the duct.

Since the atomic engine uses hydrogen as fuel, the temperature generated in the cylinder is much higher than that of ordinary gasoline. So the output power is much higher.

Another great feature of this kind of engine is that it does not emit exhaust gas, because after the hydrogen is burned, the substance produced is ordinary water, which can also flow back into the atomic reactor and continue to be used.

If there is exhaust gas, it is also some excess oxygen after the cylinder is burned. This oxygen is released into the atmosphere along the exhaust pipe of the engine.

Everyone knows that oxygen is a very useful substance for the human body and the basis for the survival of all things. From this point of view, the exhaust gas of the atomic engine will not pollute the atmosphere, on the contrary, it can also increase the oxygen content of the atmosphere, which is beneficial to human life and health.

After Zhao Zhongyao thought about the principle and style of the atomic engine he was going to make, he began to draw the blueprint of the engine.

Because he has designed a uranium mine detector and a uranium atom laser therapy device before. Now it is easy to design this atomic engine, and I quickly drew what I imagined.

It didn't take him a week at all, but only three days to draw the blueprint of the atomic engine.

After designing the drawings, Zhao Zhongyao first showed them to Chen Yuan and Cheng Fei.

At this time, Chen Yuan and Cheng Fei were still designing their new passenger plane model! I just drew the fuselage, and the wings are not finished yet!

Now it is very strange to see Zhao Zhongyao come to their office with a drawing suddenly.

"Mr. Zhao, what's the matter!" Chen Yuan looked at Zhao Zhongyao and asked with a smile.

"It's nothing, just bring the blueprint of the atomic engine I designed and show it to you two."

As Zhao Zhongyao said, he put the blueprint he had designed in front of Chen Yuan.

After hearing this, Cheng Fei walked over curiously.

"Mr. Zhao, you are so fast! Why did you design the blueprint of the new engine in just three days!"

Chen Yuan thought that Zhao Zhongyao had only designed it for three days, and he was very puzzled about this at first. "This! I'm a person who always pays attention to quick solutions. If I want to do something, I will finish it as quickly as possible."

After Zhao Zhongyao heard what Chen Yuan said, he also boasted about himself first.

"Hey, Mr. Zhao, your engine model is not much different from an ordinary aircraft engine! You can't just draw a traditional aircraft engine like a gourd, draw it down, and it will become your masterpiece."

While Chen Yuan and Zhao Zhongyao were talking, Cheng Fei looked curiously at the new aircraft engine model designed by Zhao Zhongyao. He felt that he didn't have much creativity, just redrawing the original graphics.

"Yes! Mr. Zhao, how advanced is your new aircraft engine? No matter how I look at it, it is the same as the original one!"

Chen Yuan listened to Cheng Fei's words, and he also lowered his head and looked carefully at the blueprint model of the new aircraft engine designed by Zhao Zhongyao.
