Chapter 227 Nuclear Reactor with Integrated Energy and Power(1/2)

In the afternoon.

A transport plane landed on the company's airport runway and unloaded a specially made canister.

The outer layer is metal and the inner layer is lead.

"Mr. Tang, please sign for it." The person responsible for transporting the core of the nuclear rocket approached Tang Rui and asked him to sign.

"Okay, I'm sorry to bother you." Tang Rui said after signing.

After the other party put away the receipt signed by Tang Rui, he returned to the transport plane and then returned.

Tang Rui asked Honglian to transport the things back to the assembly workshop.

In the final assembly workshop, the 300i-shaped space shuttle has already been built. Now it only needs the power and energy core. Once it is installed, it can take off directly.

However, Tang Rui did not intend to equip the space shuttle with this equipment, not because of anything else, but mainly because when he originally designed it, he came up with the simplest design.

He just left.

It didn't take long.

The purpose is for the fuel rods inside.

Not really.

I kept playing until the company got off work.

At present, chemical fuel rockets have a specific impulse of up to 300 seconds.

Whether it's engineering technology or material performance.

As for his reactor, it only needs a 1T magnetic field to firmly bind the energy in the core.

Tang Rui returned to the laboratory.

The data is normal.

But the extra bit is nothing.

After Honglian simulated it and determined that there was no problem, Tang Rui directly ordered the production.

"Guren, start building the reactor."

Originally, the rocket's nozzle needed to be adjusted with a magnetic field, and no material could withstand the flow of particles transformed into liquid hydrogen after the chain reaction.

Therefore, the real hazards of the reactor core are only nuclear radiation and ultra-high temperature, which have little impact on the magnetic field.

Although the radiation just leaked was not very large.

Tang Rui was also helpless about this.

Even this is a bit too much performance. In fact, 6000 Gauss is almost enough.

Tang Rui began to modify the core reactor of the nuclear-powered rocket.

"Master, don't worry, Honglian will ensure that everything is done safely."

It's okay not to leave.

The requirements for magnetic field strength are not at the same level.

The magnetic field generated by the electromagnetic coil wrapping the core can firmly bind the energy released after the chain reaction.

The specific impulse of 7500 seconds completely crushes all current chemical fuel rockets. The two are not on the same level at all.

This is the benefit brought by material breakthroughs.

The most important thing is that this reactor is safe and there will be no nuclear leakage problems.

After a group of employees clocked out, they rushed directly into the square, released their beasts, and started grabbing monsters.

This problem cannot be solved.

It can only be limited by a magnetic field.

Anyway, where is the power generation?

A real nuclear fusion reactor requires at least a super strong magnetic field of 60T or above to restrain it. Currently, Yingjiang has only developed a maximum of 34T, and it is still in the laboratory.

It's past three o'clock now.

These fuel rods have not yet been inserted into the reactor.

The two are not on the same level.

Doesn't it sound a bit like nuclear fusion?

If this magnetic field coil is placed in a nuclear fusion reactor, it will be dawn in less than a second.

Only by allowing liquid hydrogen to directly enter the reactor and participate in the reaction chain can the full power of the particle flow be unleashed.

It's working time now.

And it requires multiple layers of magnetic fields and magnetic channels to effectively control this hot, high-temperature plasma flow.

certainly.

The employees are all working, and no one is trying to rob monsters or treasure chests with him. All the monsters in the company belong to him.

He doesn't need to worry about the rest.

That temperature is too high.

Even the originally required radiation protection layer, the thick lead plate, was directly replaced by the electromagnetic coil.

After dinner in the evening, the production will be completed.

"After the manufacturing is completed, insert the fuel rods directly and test them." Tang Rui stood up and told Honglian before leaving the laboratory.

In a real nuclear fusion reactor used for test ignition, even if it uses a superconducting coil and is soaked in liquid helium, the magnetic field strength is only 13.4T.

This nuclear reactor is still nuclear fission.

"Okay, Master, it is expected to be completed in three and a half hours."

Let alone a nuclear-powered rocket, at most it is a replica of the Pluto nuclear-powered missile.

But it still needs to be cleaned up.

None of them met their requirements.

Don't say anything else.

The power generation alone reaches 280 megawatts.

Honglian is testing the reactor that has just been built, and the current data is all normal.

But it's enough for current use.

The specific design had been conceived by scientists decades ago, but they just couldn't build it.

Honglian controlled the robot, opened the can, and took out the fuel rods that were only as thick as a pencil inside, 36 in total.

After dinner in the evening.

The difference between the two is 25 times.

Tang Rui looked at the time.

"Honglian, project the reactor model of the core of the nuclear-powered rocket, and then cancel the external heating pipe."

Today's nuclear-powered rockets all rely on heat to ignite the propellant. This structure and ignition method can fully exert the true power of nuclear reactors.

The reason why it is so fast is that the internal design has been simplified a lot. Many of the original complex engineering designs were directly replaced by powerful material properties.

"Honglian, take out the fuel rods from the equipment and pay attention to the radiation problem." Tang Rui said to Honglian.

Now he can not only build it, but also optimize it.

The fission reaction has not started.

"Good master."

For example, the cooling system.

The specific impulse did not exceed much, only reaching 7800 seconds.

The work situation is also very stable.

How to solve this problem?

magnetic field.

The design of a brand new nuclear reaction device that integrates the power core and the energy core has been completed.

Under the constraints of the magnetic field and isolated by the inner wall of anti-neutron radiation materials, the entire reactor does not require such a huge cooling system. Even the power generation device does not need to use traditional boiling water, but directly generates electricity through magnetic fluid.

The device completes power generation and does not affect propulsion while generating power.

No matter how you make it, it will be enough.

This is not without problems. There are indeed many technical problems that need to be solved, the most important of which is the issue of nuclear radiation.

Although not as efficient as nuclear fusion.
