Chapter 276 Problems in the Nuclear Energy Project (Second Update, Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket)

After receiving a call from the leaders of Nanjing University, Xu Chuan didn't think much about it. After a brief exchange, he agreed to hold a report meeting at Nanjing University.

The interim results of the NS equation are not unknown, it deserves a special report meeting.

And it is also a good thing for him that someone takes the initiative to worry about such things for him.

After all, it is quite troublesome to hold a large report meeting, invitation letters, personnel reception, etc., are all troubles.

Of course, for Nanjing University, they wish that such troubles will come more times.

With Xu Chuan's fame and the importance of the NS equation, it is completely foreseeable that the scale of this report meeting will surpass all the reports in the history of Nanjing University and will be the largest ever.

Not only mathematicians, but also physicists, and even engineers studying fluid mechanics may come to attend this report meeting.

Such a report meeting is undoubtedly very important for Nanjing University, which is determined to further enhance its reputation, open up its reputation internationally, and want to become a world-class university.

For Nanjing University, this is an improvement in academic reputation.

For the leaders of Nanjing University and even the entire Jinling City, this is a clear political achievement.

A university or a city that can undertake such an academic exchange report will undoubtedly greatly increase the academic atmosphere for the entire university or city.

Especially under the current theme of rejuvenating the country through science and education, what is this? This is ****!

So after communicating with Xu Chuan, the report on the NS equation immediately became the top priority of the school and even the city.

Various meetings were held, from the list of invitations to the safety of the report meeting, to the appearance of the school and the city, all were carefully discussed several times before the most reliable plan was put forward.

Fortunately, there was enough time. After communicating with Xu Chuan, the report meeting was finally scheduled on May 5th. There is still half a month from now, which is enough for Nanjing University and Jinling City to sort out the appearance of the school and the city.

Xu Chuan didn't care about these things. Face projects are something that cannot be avoided in China anyway.

But face projects are not without benefits.

At least, for both the students of Nanjing University and the citizens of Jinling City, the living environment, sanitation, transportation convenience, potholes on the road, and other problems, which were not reported in the past, were solved at the fastest speed.

After handing over the report on the interim results of the NS equation to Nanjing University, Xu Chuan also returned to his normal life.

It is now mid-April. From the beginning of 2019 to now, he has not been to the "Nuclear Energy β Radiation Energy Concentration Conversion Electric Energy Mechanism Project" once.

Although Professor Han Jin sends the project report to his mailbox every week, he is not sure what the situation is at the Nuclear Energy Research Institute.

So, after getting the interim results of the NS equation, Xu Chuan took the high-speed rail to Qidong quickly.

When he arrived at the nuclear energy project research base, he was a little shocked by the scene in front of him.

After not coming here for a few months, this place has changed from the former barren mountains and wilderness to a small town.

The sea breeze blows from the sea not far away with a salty smell, and what comes into view is a nuclear power plant with a large area and supporting buildings.

Several tall condensation towers over a hundred meters high stand in the northeast, facing the sea; the central area stretches out a long steel dragon, majestic and majestic; underfoot is a bright concrete floor, flat and wide.

Not far away on the other side is a six-story research center. Although it is only six stories high, its height reaches nearly 40 meters.

Surrounding the nuclear waste power plant are numerous supporting facilities and a wide concrete road leading to the distance.

The outermost edge is a several-meter-high wall, which is endless and tightly wraps the entire nuclear power plant park.

Further away, there are dense and primitive forests and wilderness.

This scene is like the doomsday city in a science fiction movie. Outside is a desolate doomsday, and only the small town has the light of hope. The picture is face-to-face conflict and disharmony, but it really exists.

After passing through the security and entering the park, Xu Chuan still couldn't stop the shock in his heart.

I'm afraid that anyone who comes here can't imagine that a few months ago, this place was still a desolate mountain.

Although he had heard the title of infrastructure maniac countless times, when everything miraculously appeared before his eyes, the shock was unimaginable.

"Professor, you are here."

In the nuclear energy park base, Han Jin, who received the call, rushed over quickly.

Looking at Han Jin, whose face was full of frost and wrinkles, Xu Chuan smiled a little embarrassedly. "I haven't paid attention to this for a few months. Thank you for your hard work."

Han Jin shook his head quickly and said, "This is my job, it's not hard. And professor, you have already conquered the most difficult part, and there is no need to delay your time for the remaining simple work. You have more important research on your hands."

After a pause, he continued with a smile: "Congratulations to the professor for proving the NS equation!"

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "No, it's a phased result, and it has not been verified by the mathematical community yet. It is still uncertain whether it is really successful. It's too early to congratulate now."

"Professor, you are too modest." Han Jin smiled and said, "Everyone in the mathematical community knows that if you are not sure, you will not publish the paper."

Xu Chuan smiled and shook his head and did not continue on this topic.

"Take me to Chief Engineer Qi first, and then tell me about the situation here along the way."

Han Jin nodded and led Xu Chuan towards the other direction of the park, introducing as he walked.

"At present, the main construction of the entire park has been completed, and relevant equipment is now being purchased and deployed."

"The linear particle accelerator you requested will take another week to be shipped. After all, it is very sophisticated and requires various protections and declarations during transportation."

".According to the plan, the park can be put into use in mid-May."

Xu Chuan nodded and said, "What about personnel recruitment? How is it going?"

Han Jin replied: "There may be some resistance in personnel recruitment. According to your arrangement last year, recruitment work has been ongoing."

"It is true that many people come for interviews, but not many meet the requirements and are willing to stay."

"After all, Professor, you also know that this is a place used to process high-concentration nuclear waste, which is extremely dangerous. Even though it is theoretically safe and there is no risk of nuclear radiation in the park, many people are still worried. "

Xu Chuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Speed ​​up the recruitment."

Currently, he doesn't have much to do about this. After all, in the past, nuclear waste has always been synonymous with danger or death.

It's normal not to want to work here.

"professor."

Han Jin pondered for a moment and then said: "I have a suggestion regarding personnel recruitment."

Xu Chuan: "What's your suggestion? Just say it."

"I recommend using automated machinery or intelligent robots to work in core dangerous areas."

"This area has the largest recruitment gap. As of now, even if we ensure safety and compensation during interviews and have a complete system, there are still only two people willing to accept the job."

“But compared to the gap needed, it’s not even one-tenth.”

"But if you use automated machinery or intelligent robots, there will be no problem of staff shortage."

"The ionizing radiation of high-energy nuclear waste does have a great impact on electronic equipment, but don't we have lead-free nanocomposite reconstructed protective materials? This kind of soft material can be used to wrap the entire machine and equipment, so that it can be extremely Greatly reduce the impact of nuclear waste on electronic equipment.”

Han Jin made a suggestion, but Xu Chuan did not answer immediately.

To be honest, he has never thought about using machines and equipment to replace human labor.

But there are still many problems here.

The biggest problem is that today’s artificial intelligence is not up to par and cannot replace humans in facing various emergencies.

No matter how detailed you consider when writing a program, it is impossible to imagine everything.

If machines could really replace labor, he would naturally not mind, but it was obviously not possible at the moment.

After thinking for a while, Xu Chuan said: "I'll think about this first. You can proceed with normal recruitment first. If it still doesn't work by May, I'll find a way."

Han Jin nodded, and the two of them communicated all the way to the other side of the park.

In the office, Qi Zhongxing, the chief engineer in charge of the construction of the nuclear energy industrial park, was thinking about something in front of the drawings. He didn't realize it until Xu Chuan walked up to him.

"Hey, Professor Xu, why are you here?"

Feeling that someone was staring at him, Qi Zhongxing raised his head suddenly and saw Xu Chuan and Han Jin standing in front of him. After being stunned for a moment, he quickly stood up and said hello with a smile.

Xu Chuan said with a smile: "I am still interested in the position of general manager of the nuclear energy project, although it has been a long time."

Qi Zhongxing laughed and said with a smile: "Hey, don't you have more important research on your hands? The nuclear energy project has come to an end, so there is no need to waste the time of an expert like you."

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll come over to check out the situation and see if there's anything I need help with."

Entering the main topic, Qi Zhongxing also became serious and said: "As for the problem, there is indeed one here."

Xu Chuan: "Qi Gong, please tell me."

Qi Zhongxing nodded, picked up the draft he was looking at just now from the table, walked to Xu Chuan, and said, "This is about the linear particle accelerator."

"Professor Xu, look, this is the conversion design drawing of the core area. This is the area used to store nuclear waste, and this is the location for the linear particle accelerator."

"Using ADC transmutation technology and using linear particle accelerators to complete neutron diffusion, increase the reaction speed of nuclear waste, and improve energy conversion efficiency. This is one of the cores of the entire radiation power conversion system. It can increase power generation to a certain extent and accelerate Reactions in Nuclear Waste."

"But there is a problem here. Through our previous experiments, we found that we cannot obtain enough neutrons through the accelerator. In this case, the transmutation step of nuclear waste will not be fully reacted."

“And, what’s even more fatal is that the linear particle accelerator’s energy level output is not stable enough.”

"This will lead to unstable conversion of radiated electrical energy, which will put a huge pressure on the operation of the entire core. If it operates for a long time, it may lead to the risk of nuclear radiation leakage."

"Professor Han Jin and I and other researchers are thinking about how to solve this problem these days, but there is not much progress so far."

PS: The second update is asking for monthly tickets, the moment for the protagonist to show off is here again!
