Chapter 298 Professor Xu, you have already designed it?

Next, Xu You started the next simulation.

This time, Xu You needs to conduct research on the materials of the nuclear safety protection box.

According to the idea of ​​computer simulation modeling, Xu You will test a large number of material types, observe the reaction of various materials through simulation, and judge which material is more suitable for nuclear safety protection boxes.

But soon, Xu You knew that such a method was not suitable for brain simulations.

Brain simulation, compared with normal computer software simulation, saves the work of programming and modeling, and only needs to imagine in the brain.

In terms of simulation accuracy, it is also more accurate than software simulation simulation.

However, in terms of calculation speed, it is indeed too slow.

Not only can it not be compared with supercomputers at all, it is even inferior to ordinary home computers.

Each simulation takes a long time.

This made it impossible for Xu You to simulate many materials and then select the most suitable materials.

Xu You had to reduce the range to a very small one, and then simulated the materials within this range.

Through the requirements for the material properties of the nuclear reaction protection box, and the analysis of the properties of a large number of materials.

Xu You screened out some new materials that may be used as protective boxes.

In a few days, Xu You kept changing materials and repeating the simulation process.

Finally, in a simulation, Xu You found out.

When adding a part of "gadolinium" element to the original material.

The new composite material system has a very good absorption effect on radiation sources such as neutrons and gamma rays.

The overall shielding performance against nuclear radiation is significantly higher than that of previous materials.

Xu You further optimized the proportion of various elements in the material, and finally got the material form with the best radiation protection effect.

At this moment, Xu You was very excited.

According to Xu You's simulation, this new type of material can simultaneously meet multiple conditions such as pressure, temperature, and radiation protection during the nuclear fission process.

By calculation, this material can withstand a nuclear reactor with a single stack power of 800MW.

If it is possible to set up two nuclear reactors in a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

It can fully support a 10-ton nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

As for the nuclear reactor type, the pressurized water reactor used by Xu You, in theory, has a power limit value of a single reactor, which happens to reach about 800MW.

This means that according to the current experimental data, the nuclear power device designed by Xu You has the possibility of being applied to a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

Of course, before the formal application, it is still necessary to conduct experiments in the land-based model stack.

At this time, Xu You thought of another question.

How do I explain my design of this new material?

I can't say that I designed a new type of material after simulating it in my brain for a few days.

Such a reason is indeed too unbelievable.

After thinking about it, Xu You decided that it is better to explain it from the perspective of software simulation.

Of course, Xu You didn't want to just come up with a meaningless simulation system just to explain this kind of material.

Some of the data simulated by the brain can just be used to help Xu You improve the software simulation.

These two different simulation methods have their own strengths.

Software simulation must also continue to be studied.

After another few days of research, Xu You finally solved some problems that had not been solved before, making his material simulation system more accurate.

The results of the software simulation are very close to the results of the brain simulation.

After completing these tasks, Xu You contacted Fan Haisheng and explained his latest research results.

"Professor Xu, have you designed a new type of nuclear reaction protection box material?"

"Yes, it has been designed. In the simulation, the performance of this material is better than that of the previous material. Of course, the final verification of the land model reactor is needed."

"Okay, Professor Xu, let's hold a meeting right away to plan our future work."

This news is undoubtedly a very explosive news.

This made Fan Haisheng willing to put aside other work at hand and immediately see Xu You's latest research results.

When the core members of the project team come to the meeting room.

Fan Haisheng didn't say anything superfluous, and immediately asked Xu You to explain his latest research results.

Xu You connected the computer to the big screen, showing his optimized simulation system.

After the results of the brain simulation are completely copied into the software.

There is no doubt about the design of this new material.

"The current pressurized water reactor can reach a limit power value of about 800MW. If two pressurized water reactors are installed on the code name Wu, it can support the power requirements of a 10-ton nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. And this new type of material can also It can withstand such a degree of nuclear reaction under various conditions without causing a nuclear leak.”

Listening to Xu You's explanation, Fan Haisheng felt that it was finally an important step towards building a real nuclear aircraft carrier.

"Professor Xu, regarding this new type of material, is it expected that the preparation will be difficult?"

"It's not too high, because this is a composite material. It is just based on the original material, adding some gadolinium elements and adjusting the ratio of the elements. If it goes well, we can start a new land-based model reactor experiment soon. gone."

After learning that the preparation of this new type of material is not too difficult, Fan Haisheng excitedly slapped the table with his fist.

"Okay! We will start research on this new type of material composite material soon! Professor Xu, I will trouble you to take charge of this work."

"Of course, this is what I should do." Xu You agreed.

Since Xu You is in charge of the research work of the entire nuclear power plant, Xu You will definitely not stand idly by regarding the preparation of new nuclear safety protection box materials.

With Xu You's current ability, he can be regarded as a material science expert.

Next, Xu You led the team to enter the preparation and research work of materials.

In the actual material preparation and molding process, some unexpected difficulties were encountered.

Of course, everyone was mentally prepared for these difficulties, and through continuous research, they overcame each difficulty and completed the preparation of materials.

Generally speaking, the preparation of this composite material is still easier than those of superconducting materials.

And the molding technology of the material was quickly explored by them.

After completing the production of a new generation of nuclear reaction protection boxes, the new stage of land-based model reactor experiments can finally be ready to start.

This time, everyone is very concerned about the experimental performance of the land-based model reactor.

Because, if it goes well, it means that our nuclear-powered aircraft carrier has already met the conditions for construction.
