Chapter 447 Micro Nuclear Reactor

When Li Hao and Academician Zhu Bingwen heard the news, they immediately walked to the laboratory.

Came to the laboratory, saw a diameter of one meter, length of 2 meters. A hollow cylindrical device progressively surrounded by silicon-gold transistors.

Where its outermost edges are closed, a silicon-gold transistor extends out respectively.

And the extended silicon-gold transistor head has a special bayonet device.

Li Hao said to Academician Zhu Bingwen who was standing next to him: "Academician Zhu, go over and check this equipment.

You care so much about the purpose of this device that it is made of silicon gold crystals. It should be important to you. "

"It is really important to me, this equipment is one of the core equipment of the thorium-based molten salt reactor.

All other equipment has been manufactured as long as it meets the requirements.

The thorium-based molten salt reactor that can be used in industry has just been manufactured. "Academician Zhu Bingwen said with emotion.

While he was talking to Li Hao, he was already trotting towards the device.

Coming to the side of this equipment, Academician Zhu Bingwen carefully inspected the equipment.

What he pays most attention to is the bayonet manufacturing of the equipment, and checks the equipment carefully.

Academician Zhu Bingwen nodded and said with satisfaction: "From the outside, this device perfectly meets my requirements.

You only need to take it to the laboratory for detailed testing. to see if he meets the requirements. "

"This equipment weighs one ton, and we will send a vehicle to help you deliver it to the laboratory. Can the thorium-based molten salt reactor you designed carry equipment of this weight?" Li Hao asked Academician Zhu Bingwen.

"Thanks to Mr. Li, the weight of this equipment is no problem at all. The maximum load-bearing capacity of the equipment I designed is 5 tons." Academician Zhu Bingwen replied in a relaxed tone.

Li Hao began to greet the staff of the scientific research building, and carefully packed the equipment.

A heavy-duty truck came in, and after loading the equipment, it was ready to leave with Academician Zhu Bingwen.

Academician Zhu Bingwen saw that the equipment had been loaded, so he extended an invitation to Li Hao.

"Mr. Li, you have also invested in a thorium-based molten salt reactor. If the properties of the silicon-gold crystal material are exactly the same as those you tested.

The thorium-based molten salt reactor can be officially opened today, if you have time. Also come back to the lab with me to see if the thorium-based molten salt reactor can be successfully started. "

Li Hao is also very concerned about the situation of the thorium-based molten salt reactor. Looking forward to its early success.

Now they shuttle between the earth and the moon.

The extreme weight iron graphene battery carried by the space shuttle can only go back and forth once, and the power will be exhausted.

Every time the space shuttle returns, it needs to be charged by a solar charging device at the smart scientific research station.

To add a certain amount of power to it is to worry about unexpected situations in space, and the energy storage is not enough to respond in time.

The thorium-based molten salt reactor designed by academician Zhu Bingwen is a miniature nuclear reactor.

This kind of nuclear reactor can be installed on the space shuttle.

In this way, the space shuttle does not need to carry a huge iron graphene battery pack. Can leave enough space to transport supplies.

After Li Hao heard Zhu Bingwen's invitation, he immediately agreed: "I also want to see the progress of the thorium-based molten salt reactor. Now I have free time, so I will go to the laboratory with you to have a look."

Li Hao and Zhu Bingwen arrived at the Nuclear Physics Laboratory in a vehicle carrying equipment.

After he got out of the car, the first sign he saw was the radioactive sign. At the same time, the words "radiation hazard, please stay away" were written in red letters.

Li Hao asked with some concern: "Academician Zhu, can you guarantee safety when you are doing your work?"

Academician Zhu Bingwen said with a smile: "Don't worry, we can guarantee absolute safety. If there are radioactive substances in it, our researchers would not dare to go in.

Now is not the time when we were poor and white, and the protection of the laboratory is extremely good. There are radiation intensity detectors everywhere in the laboratory.

I can say that in the laboratory, the radiation intensity is lower than some places in the outside world. "

Li Hao thought that his cells optimized with the fortified liquid had a strong bearing capacity.

Ordinary people are not afraid of them, so they have nothing to be afraid of.

He walked into the laboratory with Academician Zhu Bingwen.

Zhu Bingwen came to the laboratory and immediately told the staff: "I have completed the manufacture of the core machine pipeline through Qingci Technology. Go and test whether the metal pipe meets the design requirements."

After Academician Zhu Bingwen gave his instructions, he brought Li Hao to a cylindrical device.

The device has a diameter of 3 meters and a height of 2.5 meters.

Below it, there is a circle of metal sheets. I don't know what it is used for?

Zhu Bingwen said proudly: "This is the thorium-based molten salt reactor.

It's not a core machine, the entire reactor is just that big.

If silicon gold transistors would work. It can work immediately when it is connected to peripherals, and it is a veritable miniature nuclear reactor. "

Li Hao was also surprised when he saw this reactor. This reactor is surprisingly small.

You must know that normal reactors are very large now.

It is the nuclear reactor with low power on the nuclear submarine, and its volume is much larger than this nuclear reactor.

Zhu Bingwen briefly introduced the principle of thorium-based molten salt reactor to Li Hao.

"I won't talk about the nuclear reaction process, everyone knows this.

The nuclear raw material rod is immersed in the molten salt containing phlogiston to undergo a nuclear reaction.

The hot molten salt immediately flows to the silicon-gold transistor, and the molten salt containing hot gold is also outside the silicon-gold transistor.

It's just that the molten salt inside the silicon gold transistor contains radioactivity, and the molten salt outside does not contain radioactivity. "

He pointed again to the ring of metal outside the miniature nuclear reactor. Introduce the power generation principle of the micro-nuclear reactor to Li Hao.

"This is a thermoelectric power generation device composed of bismuth telluride and lead telluride.

These two materials are also manufactured by your scientific research building.

Through metamaterial technology, the internal crystal structure of these two materials is rearranged.

Its current heat conversion rate can reach 90%.

The thermoelectric power generation device realizes power generation according to the Thomson effect.

When the temperature in the metal is not uniform, the free electrons at high temperature have more kinetic energy than the free electrons at low temperature.

Like a gas, thermal diffusion occurs when the temperature is not uniform, so free electrons diffuse from the high temperature to the low temperature.

It accumulates at the low temperature end, thereby forming an electric field in the conductor, and a potential difference is induced at both ends of the metal rod.

The reason why I choose this power generation method is that the most important point is that the Thomson effect can make the nuclear power plant operate safely. .

The diffusion of free electrons continues until the effect of the electric field force on the electrons is balanced with the thermal diffusion of the electrons.

This feature shows that the two systems have not reached thermal equilibrium. The power generation process will not be terminated. "

After listening to it, Li Hao said with emotion: "The Thomson effect, which had little effect in the past, is mostly used to make metal thermometers.

I didn't expect it to be used in a micro nuclear power plant by you. Nuclear power plants using this principle are indeed very safe.

As long as there is a temperature difference, it will generate electricity continuously.

Heat is transferred quickly by Yanjin, and the heat inside the nuclear reactor will not accumulate. The core melting accident is avoided, and the safety is greatly guaranteed. "

At this time, the staff came over and reported to Academician Zhu Bingwen: "Academician Zhu, the equipment you brought here fully meets the requirements."
