Duke spent almost all his time on research. Zhu Yunqian, chief expert of the No. 10 Project, conducted research with Duke for the first time, and found that this young man was really busy with research. In addition to eating and sleeping for about 8 hours a day, he seemed to focus on his walking time.

This is not only reflected in time. Professor Zhu has such rich research experience, and he can only concentrate on a few major aspects to analyze. However, Duke seems to be omnipotent, and puts forward suggestions and analytical ideas for data grouping from different research subfields, and then handed over to the research group to use the No. 7 engineering supercomputer to analyze and model.

The analytical ideas proposed by Duke alone are enough to keep the R&D personnel of more than 100 people busy. This is what Professor Zhu admires and gratitudes most. The value of a core R&D leader is to raise questions and point out some possible directions for research, rather than entangling in specific details.

After working for a few days, the entire No. 10 project team has achieved many research results. Judging from Professor Zhu's perspective, these results are at the best level in the world. If the No. 10 project team only studies it by itself, even if it is lucky to find the right direction, Professor Zhu probably will have to be able to achieve it for at least one year.

Thanks to Duke's ideas and the supercomputing capabilities of the No. 7 Project, the No. 10 Project Team has now taken a solid step forward in nuclear energy application research and has begun to enter a new stage of rapid progress towards the international advanced level.

Professor Zhu was amazed by the novelty and effective nature of Duke's questions and ideas.

After personally participating in the process of producing these achievements, Professor Zhu fully believes that his generation has not fulfilled his long-cherished wish and is very likely to be completed under Duke's leadership, if this young man can concentrate on this industry.

But Professor Zhu didn't know that in addition to nuclear energy research, Duke's research on new equipment has not stopped for a moment. He handed over a large amount of material-related data to Kerry for analysis, modeling, and results. Duke quickly fed back to the R&D team of Xincheng Special Steel and Hilington Company to further improve.

Because Duke obtained the results obtained through Kerry's simulation research, he was very dissatisfied. According to the current material performance and reaction efficiency, the maximum safe output power that the nuclear power plant designed by Lyme can achieve is about 600,000 to 800,000 kilowatts per unit, which is far from the expected 1.2 million to 1.5 million kilowatts.

Of course, the No. 10 project team is still trying hard to calculate this conclusion. Compared with the computing power, the supercomputer of the No. 7 project has been greatly optimized and improved by Duke. Although it is much stronger than the MIT Titan II type, it still has a gap of orders of magnitude from Kerry.

However, Duke still has not been able to find the reason why the current experimental reactor is so different from the actual situation. The data collected from now is not enough to deduce the relevant reasons.

Perhaps, the monitoring provided by Bileme is not complete enough? In my mind, Duke saw that Kerry had no progress in this area and suddenly became suspicious of Bileme's design. He has been studying this thing for a long time now, and there is a super library of nuclear energy research in my mind at any time, and almost all the accumulation in MIT has been collected.

Kerry can also fully intelligently retrieve relevant knowledge at any time, so in terms of breadth and depth of knowledge, it is even better than Professor Zhu, an elder who has studied nuclear energy for many years. The almost infinite memory space and super computing power allow Duke to quickly deduce and research any ideas in his mind.

Therefore, once the comparison of Lime is no longer myth, Duke began to question the design of Bime, compare the design of reactors on the earth, and gradually compare and consider the differences in designs between the two. Duke studied why this was the case and which one is more efficient and safer.

As a result, Duke has more things to do.

First of all, among the questioned monitoring systems, there are more than 100 existing monitoring points on the earth that are not available on Bileme. After Duke repeated consideration, although many of them are indeed redundant and useless, at least 30 monitoring points are not useless. These detection indicators can provide a more comprehensive understanding of the operating status of the reactor.

After repeatedly verifying the results, Duke made a modification design, shutting down the reactor and adding these new monitoring points to the reactor. The most exciting thing about Bileme's design is that the reactor can shut down very quickly, reducing the input of the catalyst, and then adding another new reverse catalyst, the reactor can quickly stop the reaction and then recover the nuclear fuel in the reactor through a fully automatic nuclear fuel recovery system.

The entire process of shutting down the nuclear reaction on the experimental reactor will not exceed one hour. For today's nuclear power plants, this feature alone is incredible. This can be done entirely thanks to the new reaction excitation method and a highly intelligent feeding and recycling system.

There is no doubt that due to this characteristic, the safety of nuclear power plants has been raised to a new level, because once serious abnormal situations occur, it is possible to quickly shut down the reactor to avoid greater dangers. It is precisely because of this huge safety advantage that Professor Zhu Yunqian has written a letter and suggested that the central government suspend the construction of all currently approved nuclear power plants and wait for the experimental results of this new nuclear reactor that has been named Lotus Reactor.

Because in addition to safety, Professor Zhu also found that the design life of this new reactor is far beyond the existing nuclear power plant level, and the conservative design is more than 70 years. After replacing some key components that may aging, the main reactor can even operate safely for more than 80 years, which is much higher than the so-called third-generation reactor that is now promoted.

The longer the design life, the better the economy, because the largest investment in nuclear power plants is initial construction investment. As for maintenance investment after completion, it is almost negligible compared to huge output. Professor Zhu has been in this industry all his life. Of course, he knows which are the most critical parts of a nuclear power plant, so he is not very disappointed that Duke's lotus reactor design output power is significantly lower than expected.

To be honest, the design indicators proposed by Duke were a little shocking, and the output power was much lower than expected, which made people feel a little normal, because even this reduced value is much higher than the existing ones, not to mention that it has such a long design life.

If this lotus relay can operate stably for more than 6 months and verify the experimental results, it can start to build a higher-power verification commercial relay to accelerate the industrialization process.

However, there are still huge obstacles in promoting property rights. Now this revolving intellectual property is completely under Duke's name, but private enterprises do not have the qualifications to produce the main equipment of nuclear power plants and build nuclear power plants. Faced with this policy limitation, even if Zhu Yunqian is a master in nuclear power research, he cannot solve it.

If Duke wants to promote Lotus Pile for commercial promotion, the difficulties he has to face are not just technical limitations.
