Chapter 1354 No One Can Stop It
Just when everyone thought that the professor would stop there...
Unexpectedly, the professor in protective clothing was still connected to the microphone in the conference room, and said in a heavy tone: "Although the concentration of uranium 235 in the fuel rods working in the nuclear power plant is very low, it will still release extraordinary energy when a chain reaction occurs.
This energy has never been truly safely controlled. Once an accident occurs, the nuclear reactor will go out of control due to overheating, which will also cause a terrible disaster.
The company wants to build a nuclear power plant in Neon Island. That place has a long history of crimes. From the perspective of economy, material safety, and working environment, it is not a good choice.
According to the current level of cooperation between the company and the Daxia official, it is completely possible to apply for land in remote areas along the coast or along the lake for the construction of nuclear power plants, and it can also rely on our Daxia Federation's leading power transmission technology in other Guojia of Blue Star to transmit the electricity generated by the nuclear power plant to the power grid and obtain considerable benefits.
I understand that the company has many smart factories and manufacturing plants , office buildings, the amount of electricity they consume every day is not a small number.
Building a nuclear power plant locally can fully feed back the company's energy consumption and reduce the expenditure on purchasing energy.
Moreover, our Daxia Federation has a complete nuclear power industry chain, a mature talent team, and domestically produced equipment, which can prevent the company from being controlled by others in these projects.
And the probability of nuclear power plant accidents in our Daxia Federation is extremely low. Every time an accident occurs, even if the danger level is not high, we will handle it safely at the first time, reduce the nuclear power plant accident to the lowest level, or even solve it perfectly.
However, there has not been a single case of a perfect and successful solution to the accident in the Neon Island. Developing nuclear power projects there will inevitably lead to a decline in our company's international reputation. "
It can be seen that this leading professor is sincerely persuading the senior executives of Jiuzhou Technology Company to "return to the right path and change their minds", but many of the things he said seem serious to outsiders, but in the eyes of other nuclear power-related experts hired by Jiuzhou Technology at high salaries, there are quite a few "false compassionate lies".
Just after this leading professor finished speaking, a young scientist in the conference room grabbed the microphone to speak.
The young scientist in protective clothing stood up, bowed to the professor on the podium and other people in the conference room, and said in a clear tone: "Hello, professor, I found some false descriptions in the nuclear power issue you raised. Now I raise it and hope you can correct and teach me."
Hearing the somewhat vicissitudes of life voice nod, the young scientist continued: "When the uranium 235 you mentioned has a chain reaction, the nuclear reactor will overheat and go out of control, which will cause a terrible disaster.
We have already solved this problem.
We only need to add control rods to the nuclear reactor, which can absorb neutrons and effectively control the rate of the chain reaction.
And based on The most simple physical and chemical reaction properties, we can even control the reactor's operating speed and energy release efficiency without relying on those electronic devices to penetrate into the nuclear reactor, just by relying on the depth of the control rod in the reactor.
Just like a power contact switch, pull out the control rod a little, and the reactor can start running.
If you want to reduce or stop the reaction, just put these control rods completely into the reactor.
The mushroom bomb, which also uses the principle of nuclear fission, explodes because it does not need to be controlled, and even needs to be actively detonated.
As for the pollution problem.
Our Daxia local nuclear power plants generally use pressurized water reactors. As long as the nuclear power reactor is covered and pressurized to Water with a pressure of more than 150 atmospheres can have a boiling point of more than 300 degrees. It can also ensure that the fuel rods are completely isolated from the outside world and radioactive substances will not leak into the natural environment.
After these pressurized heat-dissipating water leaves the reactor, it exchanges heat with the steam generator in the next link, which can make the ordinary air-pressure water in the steam generator boil and vaporize, and then drive the steam turbine to drive the generator to generate electricity.
As long as the construction is carried out according to the manual and regular inspections are carried out according to the rules, the probability of encountering an accident is extremely low.
And even if an accident occurs and all measures of the nuclear power plant fail, as long as the company is willing to abandon the nuclear power plant, it can The nuclear pollution problem can still be solved with the last treatment method.
Neon is rich in water resources, but it is located in an earthquake zone, which puts higher requirements on the construction and maintenance of nuclear power plants.
If our nuclear power plant can be successfully built on that land and operate and generate electricity stably, it can also provide our company with excellent nuclear power plant-related experience. At the same time, many experiments that our company cannot conduct in Daxia can also be carried out in the Neon branch.
The nuclear power plant of the Neon branch can provide stable, efficient and clean energy for these experiments. "
At the end, the young scientist added a sentence.
"Our company is vigorously developing aerospace technology and smart manufacturing factories. The energy and resources required for these research projects are extremely huge. If we really only rely on the energy supply of Daxia, the energy costs paid every year are sky-high!
Moreover, building a nuclear power plant overseas, even if it fails and needs reaction treatment, will not have other adverse effects on our Daxia. Instead, it will let that land experience the temperature it once experienced. "
——
The conference room suddenly fell into an inexplicable silence.
I was surprised at the bravery of this young scientist, and I also felt some special emotions about the re-mention of some mushroom deeds.
It’s not that no one said: "We should use nuclear energy safely and environmentally friendly, rather than handle it in such a rough way."
But in some special situations where they know more about the company and the Daxia official, and even if they themselves are members of the split large project team, these scientists and engineers still chose to keep their mouths shut.
Let the Daxia official support?
When I heard the old professor speak just now, Gu Qing was a little speechless.
The official must be willing to support it now, and even willing to support it with all his strength.
Gu knows with his eyes closed that in order to slow down the progress of Jiuzhou Technology's nuclear energy research and development, the official will definitely be willing to be the kind of good mother who considers everything.
Technology authorization?
Give! Even the more advanced technology is definitely willing to be authorized.
Technical team and construction drawings?
Give! Even actively subsidize the engineers and scientists of these technical teams to work at Jiuzhou Technology.
This kind of cooperation is to let Jiuzhou Technology sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor, and then stop thinking about nuclear energy research and development.
It's that simple, and it will definitely gain widespread public support. After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, Daxia officials are doing this to help Jiuzhou Technology get rid of energy worries.
But can Gu Qing be willing?
Once accepted, how can the core team of Jiuzhou Technology independently develop nuclear energy?
Without actual data and technical equipment R&D experience, how to promote nuclear fusion after nuclear fission?
In the display area of SR1 glasses, the information of the young scientist is very interesting.
[Zhou Yiheng, 23 years old, Jiuzhou Technology Titanium Star Energy Research Group Member, Hobbies: "Book of Changes", "Yin Fu Jing", Taoist Culture]
The original genius boy, after living in the Titanium Star community, changed his job to become a "Taoist Alchemist".
At the beginning (Chapter 1,107), Gu Qing personally announced that the energy department of the Titanium Star department would be upgraded to an independent first-level department, the department budget share would be increased by 50%, and the exclusive supercomputing processing share would be increased.
The Titanium Star Department, Semiconductor Department, Software Engineering Department, Aerospace Department and Energy Department and 6G Communication Engineering Department were also ordered to work more closely, whether in personnel coordination or resource exchange and mutual assistance, to upgrade to a higher level.
Under such "heavy resource irrigation", the 6G Communication Engineering Department took out 5.5G communication engineering technology, laying a solid foundation for future 6G communication projects, and also cooperated with the satellite department, mathematics group and other departments and groups to complete the first phase of the Zhoutian Xingdou Project.
These two major projects have won a lot of benefits for Jiuzhou Technology during this period, and also helped Jiuzhou Technology defend its own interests.
The Energy Department, which has the same treatment as the 6G Communication Engineering Department, has now "only" established the Neon Island Branch and promoted the implementation of the nuclear power plant project of the Neon Island Branch.
Compared with other companies, the work progress of the Jiuzhou Technology Energy Department is not slow. After all, the team has begun to see its scale, and it is just short of qualification review.
However, compared with the 6G Communication Engineering Department with the same resources and treatment, it is really a long way behind.
Under Gu Qing's scrutiny, the old professor was speechless after being confronted by the young scientist. He raised his hand several times, wanting to say something, but in the end he just sighed: "Nuclear energy is not a special energy that can be developed and utilized by a single enterprise. Since I have taken on this big project, I naturally want to make the project land smoothly and provide better clean energy for the company and Daxia.
At the same time, it is also to reduce the frequency of nuclear power plant accidents as much as possible. There should be many people sitting here who share the same idea as me. This meeting today is also held for this reason."
Fortunately, the participants of today's meeting are all high-IQ talents or high-level management, otherwise if this old professor plays this justice card in other forums and meetings, I am afraid that many people will be criticized.
Take the money, but still do nothing!
And everyone knows that the reason for inviting this old man is entirely for the disciples and grandchildren behind the old man and the influence of the industry.
Really expect such an old person to work on the front line of the project?
What if there is a work injury?
Who can be responsible? Who dares to be responsible?
After this young scientist, several other scientists and engineers communicated with this leading professor.
From the overseas energy experiments of the Neon branch to build a nuclear power plant, to collecting real front-line experimental data, to the current poor employment situation in Neon, the professor was "hit" from almost every aspect.
Although the special protective clothing he wore was not too heavy and there was an air purification circulation system inside the protective clothing, the professor still felt physically exhausted and finally "stopped fighting" and left the podium.
After the old professor went off the stage to rest, the young scientist who had just spoken walked to the podium.
Under the transparent mask, Zhou Yiheng's face was quite tough.
After he bowed to everyone, his eyes stopped for a second somewhere in the back row, and then he took out the tablet.
After sending the information he prepared to the display screen behind him, Zhou Yiheng began to speak: "From the beginning of the nuclear power plant project, General Manager Gu pointed out that we should personally participate, and even independently conduct research and development, and obtain first-hand information, so that we can go more steadily and further.
Therefore, for the research and development of nuclear energy equipment, parts and other projects, our department has already established projects to promote them. The large-scale advanced pressurized water reactor nuclear power plant technology and the special gas-cooled reactor nuclear power plant technology, the former is learned from Daxia Nuclear Energy, and the latter is promoted from the high-temperature gas-cooled nuclear power plant technology.
There are many key special materials used in steam generators in million-kilowatt nuclear power units.
For example, high-pressure hot water heated by nuclear fuel needs to exchange energy through countless slender U-shaped tubes in the steam generator to generate high-temperature and high-pressure steam and generate electricity.
The material requirements for this kind of pipeline are extremely high. It must not only be radiation-proof, but also corrosion-resistant, high-density and leak-free. Previously, only our four Guojia companies in the world, Daxia, France, Neon and Ruidian, could produce such products, and the price was as high as millions of Xia yuan per ton.
We could have directly used the finished pipes provided by Daxia enterprises, but after a comprehensive investigation, a special equipment research and development department of the company was able to provide better materials than the finished products on the market, which not only solved the material safety problem, but also solved some technical difficulties.
In the experimental server of Lingjing Ecology, the hydraulic nuclear power plant using the material pipeline has been able to operate safely and autonomously for 30 days without human intervention and control.
Even if the experimental server released special natural disasters such as earthquakes and hail in the subsequent adjustment, and the core control rods were out of control.
The nuclear power plant can also safely release the reserved cooling water to directly cool the core. Even in a certain test, the nine valves of the cooling water were closed for fault processing, and the last barrier shell of the nuclear power plant core persisted for 48 hours of resistance, allowing the engineering robots of the nuclear power plant to input control materials and cooling water from the outside to solve the accident.
Considering that this is the first time that our energy department has carried out such a project, we have optimized many system configurations and equipment in the textbooks, and even reduced many unnecessary links. We let the intelligent AI program and robots take over most of the work throughout the process. Even if there is no one on duty on a certain day, there are robots that can rely on the autonomous energy of the nuclear power plant for autonomous maintenance.
Compared with other nuclear power plants in the world, the total amount of valves, pipeline length, cable interfaces, and pumps in this nuclear power plant we designed has been reduced by 60%, 40%, 80%, and 40% respectively. "
