I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World Chapter 955: Start of nuclear fusion power station
Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
In the Lunar Colony Ground Command Center, the staff is busy.
Today is an extraordinary day. The nuclear fusion generator set installed on the moon ’s surface will be officially started to generate electricity. This not only means that the shortage of electricity in the lunar colony will be completely solved, but the excess power can also be sent to the Star City through long-distance power transmission, and then to the surface.
"Are you ready?"
"Of course."
"Let's get started." Jiang Chen nodded and gestured, indicating that Kerwin could start.
The entire command center is like a clockwork. Everyone has taken ten times and twenty times the energy and struggled in their posts. Various parameters are flashing on the large screen in the center, and every move of the nuclear fusion generator that is hundreds of thousands of kilometers away can be clearly monitored here.
"The magnetic restraint device is activated and helium tri-fuel is loaded into the reaction chamber!"
"The magnetic restraint device is operating normally."
"The super-fluid thermal cycler is started ... stable operation."
"The deuterium fuel has been filled!"
"..."
"Ignite!"
All the lights turned green, and Kerwin immediately pressed the red button. The progress bars in the holographic screen are filled in an instant, and the power output power instantly reaches the horrible 5000MW. In the spherical reaction chamber tens of kilometers away, the magnetic confinement body has turned into a ball of light that can not be directly looked at, and its internal reaction temperature has also exceeded the ten million degrees of terror!
It is no exaggeration to say that this is equivalent to a small sun.
If a violently reacting atom breaks through the shackles of magnetic confinement, its power is no less than that of detonating a million-equivalent hydrogen bomb, if placed on the earth, it is enough to erase a modern city from the map.
However, everyone present is fully equipped.
As soon as the nuclear fusion generator was completed in Penglai City, Xinghuan Trade had secretly used it without the international community. It was not the first time that all of you were operating the nuclear fusion generator set, but this nuclear fusion generator It is the future of heavy industry independent production, and it is located hundreds of thousands of kilometers away.
5000MW, which is far from the limit of this fusion generator set. As the fuel continues to be filled, the output of electrical energy continues to climb. The reaction temperature also exceeded 15 million degrees, and after a slight drop, it stabilized at 14 million degrees.
Kelvin sighed with relief, a smile on his face, picked up the walkie-talkie hanging on his shoulders and announced to everyone.
"No. 01 nuclear fusion generator, successful startup!"
Deaf cheering broke out in the command room, and the staff stepped down from their seats, clapping their hands and cheering for victory.
Something happened, and Jiang Chen's face also showed a smile.
Unlike most nuclear power plants, after absorbing the technology of the end times, Star Ring Trade abandoned the inefficient steam turbine power generation design and adopted the thermal ion reactor which is relatively advanced compared to the present.
Simply put, the yin and yang poles are connected by wires, the cathode is heated to release the electron beam, and the anode absorbs electrons to form a circulating circuit. However, the whole device is definitely not so simple, just like the simple point of nuclear power plants is to boil water, but in fact the technical connotation involved is far more than simply boiling water.
How to solve the power limitation of power generation, how to recycle the heat absorbed by the anode to power generation ... These are the problems that have yet to be solved on this side of the world. If there is no accident, in another thirty or fifty years, a controlled nuclear fusion technology has also been born here. Most of them also use steam turbine wheels to boil water to generate electricity. Only because neutrons are easily absorbed by light substances, compared with nuclear fission, a second loop heat exchanger can be omitted.
At the same time, the same cheers also sounded on the hundreds of thousands of kilometers of the moon colony.
The continuous flow of electrical energy is transferred from the fusion generator to the various areas of the colony, replacing the solar generator that takes two weeks to rest for two weeks. The reaction temperature has been reached, as long as the fuel supply in the reaction chamber is maintained, the fusion reaction can continue.
Although this high temperature of tens of millions of degrees is scary, this generator is far safer than any nuclear power plant in the world. The thermonuclear reaction between helium-3 and deuterium will only produce non-radioactive protons, so no radiation will be generated when helium-3 is used as an energy source. Even if an accident occurs, the cost of rescue will not be very high.
Ten thousand steps back, there is no air on the moon, even if the reactor explodes entirely, it will not form a devastating shock wave. The killing effect of nuclear weapons in a vacuum environment is extremely limited, far less scary than its explosive equivalent.
"Congratulations." Jiang Chen smiled and shook Kerwin's hand. "Excellent command."
"Thanks to your promotion." Kerwin humbly accepted the testimonial.
After a pause, Jiang Chen continued.
"I plan to reorganize some businesses of Xinghuan Trading."
Kerwin looked at Jiang Chen doubtfully, not understanding why he said this to himself. The space launch center he manages is only a very biased department in the star ring trade. Although the budget is staggering, it is almost outside the core of power.
Jiang Chen did not explain, but continued.
“The reorganization is mainly in the aerospace business. The establishment of the space launch center will be cancelled and replaced by the newly established space ministry. This department is in charge of the interstellar colonization plan and all projects involving the development of outer space resources within the group. "
"And the manager of the aerospace department, I hope that you will take over."
Kelvin was stunned for a moment, and then his brain was occupied with dizzy joy.
"Thank you for your promotion, I will not let you down!"
Jiang Chen smiled slightly and patted him on the shoulder.
"I believe you will not let me down."
......
In mid-February, Sing Huan Trading spent S $ 2 billion to acquire Panu Power Company, which supplies the entire Panu Islands, and resolutely changed its name to Global Power Company, integrating the domestic power generation companies and power grids in the new country. unit.
At the same time, the engineering ship of Xinghuan Trading once again sailed to the equator line and began construction under the sea base station of the space elevator. In the national grid.
Everything is paving the way for the long-distance transmission plan of the lunar nuclear fusion power station.
Jiang Chen was obviously not satisfied with the domestic electricity market in the new country. While the submarine cable started construction, he then found the governments of the two countries, Moro and Philippine, and asked them to open their own electricity markets.
With little tongue-in-mouth, Jiang Chen easily pulled the two vassals into his chariot. The Philippine and Moro countries have agreed to cooperate with the new country in the construction of transnational submarine cables and access to their own power grids. The electricity bill in the Philippines is the first in the world, and it can be called a model of getting poorer and getting worse. Of course, they will not refuse Xinghuan Trade, which may lower their domestic electricity prices.
Not to mention that they did not have the guts to refuse, the Star Ring Trade's garrison in Manila has not yet completely withdrawn.
As for the Moro Kingdom, it ’s needless to say, Santos very simply recognized his younger brother's identity. Where would he reject the request of the suzerain country? What's more, the recent soaring oil prices, the oil-reliant Moro country itself is facing the problem of energy shortage, how can it refuse Jiang Chen?
The Philippine and Moro nations were wooed, and Jiang Chen then found Malay ... (to be continued.)
