"What?!" Everyone was completely shocked when they heard this.
Ye Ziping knew very well how much the country had invested in building nuclear power plant reactors, so he couldn't believe what Ye Kai said about having a ready-made reactor.
How big is the ready-made reactor? How can it be transported back easily?
"Didn't I bring back a few nuclear submarines? Some of them should be decommissioned. However, the reactors in them can be used directly. They are also suitable for use as small power plants. If there are five such reactors working at the same time, it will be almost the same.
It is 200,000 kilowatts of electricity, and there is no problem in supplying electricity to the entire Shengwang New District." Ye Kai said his plan, "If you add wind power, tidal power and solar power, then these types of energy sources
With coordinated use, there will definitely be surplus power exported to Mingzhu City."
Ye Kai's idea was so huge that everyone who heard it was stunned.
After a long time, Ye Ziping said, "You dare to think about it!"
However, this sounds reasonable, but there seem to be some problems in its implementation. First of all, the fuel rods in the nuclear submarine reactor cannot be used indefinitely.
In fact, from the current point of view, the reactors of nuclear submarines are basically modular equipment with a relatively high degree of integration.
There are reports that the United States once built the X-6 test nuclear-powered bomber based on the B-36h bomber. This is called the nb-36h atomic reactor test machine. The reactor weighs 15,900 kilograms. The test began in September 1955.
.
It installed a General Electric P-1 nuclear reactor, and the heat generated by it will drive four General Electric J47 turbojet engines. When the plan was about to enter the actual driving stage, the Americans finally discovered that this was just on their own heads.
If a nuclear bomb were to be placed, the safety would not be guaranteed, and there would not be enough space for nuclear protection devices to protect personnel. Moreover, if an accident occurred, it would cause a nuclear leak, so the plan was eventually cancelled.
However, it can also be seen from this point that nuclear reactors are actually a technology that has already matured.
The key point is that although the volume of nuclear fuel is not large, the size of the nuclear power plant is very large, so current trains and airplanes cannot accommodate nuclear reactors.
The reason why the nuclear power plant is large is that the heat generated by the nuclear fuel must be carried out by cooling water. This heat transfer agent system is very large, about two stories high and more than 100 square meters. Only ships as large as aircraft carriers, cruisers, and nuclear submarines can
Only then can it be installed.
In addition, even if super large trains and airplanes can be built, there is still a technical problem, that is, there is no source of cooling water. Ships can use sea water, nuclear power plants can use sea water on land rivers or seaside, and trains and airplanes are fast-moving means of transportation.
Unable to connect to external water sources.
Of course, trains and planes can be cooled with air, but unfortunately the current air cooling technology is not up to standard, and the problem of miniaturization of the reactor itself has not been fundamentally solved.
As a result, the portability of nuclear reactors is relatively poor.
But as Ye Kai envisioned, it would be advisable to concentrate the reactors on five nuclear submarines to generate electricity. One hour can generate 200,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity, which is indeed enough for the development of Shengwang New District.
Moreover, this matter is easier to operate, because these nuclear submarines also have titanium alloy shells, which have strong anti-rust capabilities and handle radiation issues very well. Without any pressure, they can put a hundred
There won't be any problems if it's eighty years old.
Putting five nuclear submarines together and using them as a power plant should be considered a pioneering work. However, if others find out, they will definitely scold Ye Kai for being a prodigal. How much does it cost to turn a nuclear submarine into a power plant?
How much money can you make? This is definitely the most wasteful behavior in history.
"I have never seen a nuclear submarine..." Ning Shuang said with some interest after hearing this.
"Actually, nuclear submarines are nothing. If you have time, I will take you to see them." Ye Kai was very indifferent to this. After all, he had not only built nuclear submarines, but also aircraft carriers, so he was quite familiar with these things.
.
"Nuclear submarines use nuclear fuel rods, which are basically the same as nuclear power plants. They are usually uranium rods with a purity of 30%. It usually takes about a month for a nuclear submarine to go out. Most of the time it is sailing or parked underwater without seeing the light of day. It is difficult to distinguish what is inside the submarine.
It is day and night, so red and blue lights are used to distinguish day and night. The clocks in the submarine also rotate 24 hours a day. Officers and soldiers take turns on duty every 12 hours. Those who are not on duty can rest and have fun." Ye Kai said to Ning.
Shuang described the situation inside the nuclear submarine.
"Due to the large size of nuclear submarines, the space inside is relatively large, so the living conditions are much better. Many submarine officers and soldiers have dedicated bunks and spaces, as well as gyms and bathrooms. When nothing happens, everyone mostly gathers in the restaurant because it is relatively large.
, everyone can play cards and chess or watch TV to pass the time when they have nothing to do, and some people also like to read in the bunks.”
"On a submarine, the use of open flames such as gas is not allowed, so electric heating is used for cooking, but an oven can be used. There is also a cold storage on the submarine, which in addition to general cans, also contains a certain amount of fresh vegetables and meat, etc.
It depends on the type of ship and the time of the mission."
"If the mission takes a long time, sometimes the aisles of the restaurant are filled with cans and food."
"Because nuclear submarines have sufficient energy, they have plenty of fresh water and air. Due to their complete air purification systems, the air is fresh and not stuffy. This is much better than the battery smell on conventional submarines."
"Most of the middle compartments of active nuclear submarines are occupied by ballistic missiles. The nuclear power compartments are squeezed at both ends. The space occupied is not too large, and it cannot be too large. After all, the space is limited."
"Each compartment has different working conditions. For example, the torpedo compartments are usually at both ends. In order to ensure the safety of weapons, they are not equipped with air-conditioning systems, so they are very cold. The engine compartment is also very hot, and the noise of old boats is also very loud.
, because the new boat uses a self-circulating pump, the noise can be ignored, and the reactor compartment is guarded by someone with a gun, and no one can enter or leave except the captain and the staff there."
Ye Kai introduced the situation on the nuclear submarine to Ning Shuang, and then said, "Well, let's just talk about these. Some other things involve confidentiality regulations. It's not easy for me to tell you, but I will definitely bring them in the future.
Look, not only the nuclear submarine, but also the aircraft carrier, you can go and see it."
In fact, Ye Ziping had never seen a nuclear submarine, so he was quite interested after hearing what his son said.
In fact, according to his level, there is no problem if he wants to see the inside of a nuclear submarine.
The key problem is that there are only a few nuclear submarines in the country, and they are always on combat readiness. Their schedules are always highly confidential, so the chance of encountering them is very small. Ye Ziping cannot do it for his own selfish reasons.
Someone brought a nuclear submarine over for him to watch.
If everyone does that, the security of this country will be very seriously affected.
"Using several scrapped nuclear submarines as generators can be considered waste utilization," Ye Kai said.
"But regarding nuclear fuel and nuclear waste, have you considered how to deal with it?" Ye Ziping immediately raised a question.
"There will always be a way to do this. Digging deep wells and filling them in the Great Gobi is a good choice. The area there is very large and basically deserted. There is no forest vegetation and underground water. There is no need to worry about contamination. There is no need to worry about not being able to put it down."
." Ye Kai replied immediately.
"It seems you really want to do this." Only now did Ye Ziping see Ye Kai's determination, otherwise he would not have considered it so carefully.
"Actually, just think about it this way. I need to consult experts to see if it can be done. If the environmental protection does not meet the standards and there are nuclear radiation and other effects, I don't dare to mess around." Ye Kai laughed.
In theory, this thing should be feasible, but in terms of economic investment and practical effects, no one knows what it will be like, so Ye Kai is just thinking about it now.
However, the issue of power shortage has indeed attracted Ye Kai's full attention. Although there is no serious power shortage in Shengwang New District, Ye Kai is experiencing power outages every now and then. This is very important to the booming development of the city.
Shengwang New District is not a good phenomenon.
Especially Zhong Liyu’s new factory, Chu Jingxuan’s venture capital project VCD factory, an aluminum-plastic building materials factory invested by Pei Yunqiu, and several other high-tech enterprises that have just entered the park for development. These basic
All of the above require sufficient power supply to be able to develop sustainably, so Ye Kai had to consider the possibility of going astray.
No matter how you operate, you must ensure that the enterprises within your jurisdiction use electricity for development. Otherwise, how can the development of Shengwang New District be guaranteed?
"What you have to consider is just the Holy King New District. Of course you can be creative, but what I have to consider is the entire Pearl City, but what your grandfather and the others have to consider is the entire country." Ye Ziping said to Ye Kai with some emotion,
"Work hard, there will be many challenges to face in the future."
Ye Kai listened and nodded. He understood this very well. His position was different and his way of thinking about problems was also different. When he was in a high position, he probably wouldn't be as relaxed as he is now. Many things would be different.
A single move can affect the whole body, and it is not so easy to make a decision.
"No matter what, everyone still has to eat." Ye Kai suddenly said.
The table was full of food, but only a few chopsticks were used at this time. It was all caused by the power outage.
