I pick up technology in the future world

Chapter 83 Demonstration Project Stack

After the first draft agreement was signed, Robert left immediately without wanting to stay for a moment.

The price of this framework agreement is too heavy. Once it is officially implemented, what they have to pay for it will be a large amount of raw materials, construction investment funds, and the outflow of mass production and manufacturing industry technology, which is far more than the income.

But they had to sign this agreement again. It seems like a blood loss, but it is indeed a win-win situation, because once the asteroid hits the earth five years later, they cannot invest in the production of raw materials, funds, and technology due to insufficient production capacity. It will only be a bubble.

In the future situation, the finished product that can support the asteroid hitting the earth is everything.

And on the other side.

After many days, Chen Fan finally went out again.

Going out again, travel is not as good as before, you can go out as you want.

Chen Fan originally planned to start immediately after the fusion ignition was completed, but it was delayed by one day due to the arrangement of safety and confidentiality.

The seconded military helicopter flew directly from the base, and after several hours, the plane successfully reached the remote suburbs of Star City.

Under the rumbling rotating wings, a strong wind blows.

When Chen Fan got off the plane, Zhou Chenglin greeted him immediately.

"Xiao Chen, welcome, welcome, just got off the plane, how do you feel looking down?" Zhou Chenglin said loudly.

Chen Fan's joy was indescribable: "I see, the progress is very fast, very good."

Zhou Chenglin laughed loudly when he heard the words: "Haha, I feel relieved to have such an evaluation from you."

"Actually, as early as when we first went to Heshi to do the inner wall material experiment, at that time, the higher-ups had carefully inspected the site selection of the demonstration reactor for controllable nuclear fusion."

"Our Star City is one of the last two screening targets."

"And because of that successful experiment, the duration of controllable nuclear fusion has made a significant breakthrough, and at the same time it has led to major breakthroughs in other aspects. Therefore, in the final choice, we were chosen here."

"Here, Lao He and I have put in a lot of effort."

"Of course, Xiao Chen, your contribution is even more indispensable."

"Otherwise, at that time, I wouldn't have shouted in the car to move the fusion reactor home, and do whatever I want..." Zhou Chenglin said with a smile.

Chen Fan nodded, "So that's the case, no wonder the construction speed is so fast."

Zhou Chenglin smiled when he heard this: "Xiao Chen, if you talk about why it's fast, it's not just because of the early construction."

"Originally, a project like the demonstration reactor was not particularly urgent. According to the original construction schedule, it would be considered fast to complete the main building within one year."

"However, you also know later that time waits for no one."

"And because of our rapid breakthrough in fusion research, this has attracted great attention from above, and a lot of manpower and material resources have been invested, and more and more engineering teams have participated in the construction. At this time, those who participated in the construction are those from Daxia Nuclear Construction. The group's twelve construction teams work day and night in three shifts, and the cost of materials is not considered, and because of this, the construction speed of the fusion reaction demonstration reactor is getting faster and faster."

"Think about a few months ago, when I accompanied the site selection expert team to visit here, it was still a mountainous area, but now, the main building has basically been constructed."

Zhou Chenglin pulled Chen Fan and said as he walked, his face was dusty but full of excitement: "Come on, I'll take you to the core computer room of the fusion reactor."

"If you have any comments later, just mention them, and we will implement them as soon as possible."

"Okay, let's go take a look." Chen Fan nodded, followed Zhou Chenglin, and the group quickly walked from the roof towards the interior of the building.

……

Soon, everyone came to the fusion reactor room in the demonstration reactor building.

Chen Fan took the design blueprint indicators to check, while looking at it, he was writing and drawing.

"This computer room should be enough. The degree of redundancy and tolerance is sufficient, so there is no big problem. Although our current reactor has changed, it should still be able to meet the needs of use."

"The biggest thing that needs to be remodeled is the part of the power generation facilities that need to be remodeled." Chen Fan said.

"The power generation part needs to be remodeled?" Zhou Chenglin looked surprised, and almost subconsciously thought of something, "Xiao Chen, you mean?"

Chen Fan smiled and nodded: "That's right, Professor Zhou, it's exactly what you think. In the future, in ground power stations, we will mainly use magnetic fluid power generation with direct conversion of heat and electricity, supplemented by steam turbine power generation. Our strong magnetic technology It is quite mature, and we have found suitable dielectric materials for magnetic fluid power generation, and we are currently undergoing the third round of testing."

Zhou Chenglin was overjoyed when he heard the words: "That's great. Magnetic fluid power generation has always been a hurdle that cannot be overcome because of the magnetic field strength and material problems. Our previous power generation facilities, whether it is thermal power or nuclear power, must first boil water. The energy is converted into thermal energy, and then the high-temperature steam is used to turn the steam turbine, which is converted into mechanical energy, and finally the mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy for power generation."

"We have very mature steam turbine power generation technology, but the energy conversion in the middle inevitably causes a considerable part of energy loss. And through magnetic fluid power generation, direct thermoelectric conversion, the energy loss saved is worth looking forward to."

Chen Fan nodded: "Professor Zhou is right. However, there is no need to abolish the steam turbine device. We can do both. The high-temperature intermediate medium after magnetic fluid power generation can continue to transfer heat energy to the steam turbine."

Zhou Chenglin agreed after hearing this: "I also agree with this, the two are indeed not in conflict, especially in ground power stations, where there are abundant space resources, they can indeed play a complementary role, working in parallel can also speed up the speed and efficiency of energy transfer. "

Chen Fan nodded: "Yes, Professor Zhou, and in this regard, we have designed a model and made corresponding estimates. According to the latest results, theoretically, the energy output power of the demonstration reactor design can reach 30GW/h. In two days of monthly maintenance, the annual power generation can reach the level of 400 billion kilowatt-hours."

Zhou Chenglin had been prepared for a long time, but he couldn't help being shocked when he heard this number, and he was overjoyed instead: "Is it so high?"

"I remember that in recent years, the average annual power generation of the Three Gorges is only at the level of 1000 billion kWh. Now we can reach the level of two and a half Three Gorges with one fusion power unit..." Zhou Chenglin's eyes were full of excitement.

"It's so high, does technology change life, Professor Zhou?"

"Come on, take me to see the status of the surrounding construction sites." Chen Fan asked.

Zhou Chenglin was stunned for a moment when he heard it. He didn't expect Chen Fan to be interested in watching this, but considering the current bad situation, he understood it. He agreed immediately and the group left quickly.

After a while, a convoy of five vehicles drove through the construction site.

Chen Fan and other expert members sat in one of the vehicles, and the rest of the vehicles were accompanying guards.

Zhou Chenglin introduced to Chen Fan: "According to the above plan, the industries near fusion will concentrate on building a production base of electric drive industrial mother machines, and these are big energy eaters."

"Xiao Chen, look over there." Zhou Chenglin stretched out his hand, "There is a large-scale forging machine factory under construction. More than ten years ago, we already had 16-ton forging press technology, but conventional construction, The [-]-ton stamping machine is enough for most of our application scenarios."

"But now, in order to deal with the crisis in the future, these technical reserves are finally available, and here, according to the issued documents, we will build the forging press with the highest forging pressure in our reserve drawings, Xiao Chen, guess what? Look, how many tons are there?" Zhou Chenglin asked with a smile.
