The Three-Body Problem: The Most Competent Wallfacer of All Time

Chapter 112 Nuclear Energy (adding more rewards for everyone)

Jiang Yu saw that many male researchers looked unhappy, so he nodded with satisfaction.

Sure enough, with the "big killer weapon" of Shiliu, you can rest assured after going around for a while.

Otherwise, there would be few women in such a unit, and there would be even fewer beauties like Yang Dong. It would be very dangerous not to declare sovereignty.

The leaders in the base were stunned for a second or two before they realized it. They didn't expect Yang Dong to have such a relationship with Wallfacer Jiang Yu.

But on Yang Dong's file, it is clearly stated that he is unmarried?
The leaders then sighed in their hearts: Young people nowadays really know how to play, and the children are so old that they don't get married!

Yang Dong smiled and asked Sixteen: "Who taught you to say that?"

Sixteen glanced at Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu coughed twice, then turned his head and looked away.

Yang Dong patted Shiliu's head, but didn't explain anything. Many male researchers' hearts sank. This was tantamount to acquiescing!

The welcome ceremony continued. The leaders of the base gave a few words of welcome, and Jiang Yu also gave a brief speech to express his gratitude.

Then came the visit to the base. Originally, the leaders of the base planned to follow Jiang Yu the whole time, but after knowing that the Wallfacer and Yang Dong were a "couple", they stopped following behind to be an eyesore.

So the visiting team only consisted of Jiang Yu, Yang Dong, and Shiliu.

After everyone had left, Yang Dong asked Shiliu, "Why did you follow him around like this?"

Sixteen hehe smiled: "He said he wants to find you to be my mother, I think you are quite suitable."

Moreover, Jiang Yu also promised that he would take Shiliu with him throughout his inspections, and he would also take Shiliu to the Northwest to play sand flushing.

Yang Dong glanced at Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu scratched his head: "I'm sorry, I was a little selfish in this matter, because the Wallfacer is special, it will easily put you in danger.

"But, if I don't express my opinion in a hurry, I'm afraid that I will have to eat wedding candy from you and others in the future."

Yang Dong thought for a while before saying, "That's good too, lest some people keep following me like flies. Besides, my job is inherently dangerous!"

Then she led the way: "Come here, I'll take you to see Venus No. [-] first."

As soon as Jiang Yu clapped his hands, he almost cried with joy: She actually understood!She actually understood what I was trying to express!
Shiliu tugged at the corner of Jiang Yu's clothes, Jiang Yu came back to his senses and hurried to follow.

Venus [-] is a nuclear fission power plant upgrade project led by Yang Dong. According to Yang Dong, this project has two directions, one is lead-based reactor and the other is thorium-based reactor.

The biggest problem with nuclear fission power plants is the issue of nuclear waste. This thing will still be radioactive for tens of thousands of years. If left unattended, it will seep into the groundwater system and cause immeasurable nuclear pollution.

The cost of disposing of nuclear waste is often a large cost of nuclear power generation.

Some countries spend a lot of money and use special containers to store them. It is said that those containers can be stored for 2 years without damage.

Some countries are unwilling to spend this money, so they simply find a place to bury it, and they don't care whether it will pollute their land.

There are also countries that are the worst, and discharge waste water that has suffered nuclear pollution into the sea.

During the space race in the last century, people found the optimal solution to deal with nuclear waste: set aside an area on the moon to hold nuclear waste.

However, the cost of launching nuclear waste from the earth into space is also very high.

Especially after the end of the space race, the production lines of spaceships and rockets related to the moon landing in the two major countries have been shut down one after another, making it even more difficult to realize this plan.

The improved lead-based reactor led by Yang Dong is to use lead element to let nuclear waste continue to exert waste heat, and finally reduce the emission of nuclear waste by 99%.

The initial main fuel of this kind of reactor is still uranium, but the waste generated by the main fuel is used for the second, third, or even more reactions by using lead element, so as to maximize the consumption of the residual energy of the nuclear waste.

The concept of thorium-based reactors existed in the 60s.

The advantage of thorium-based reactors is that the main fuel is thorium, which is relatively easy to obtain, and the nuclear waste produced is one-thousandth of that of traditional nuclear power plants.

But because uranium 235 can make atomic bombs, countries that had mastered nuclear power plant technology at that time did not pay attention to this idea.

Until the United States began to wantonly manipulate oil prices and carbon prices, new energy has become a topic that must be overcome by late-developing countries.

Yang Dong's ability to achieve great results so quickly is inseparable from the fact that China began to focus on the development of nuclear energy at the beginning of this century.

She said: "At present, the proven thorium element in our country is enough for us to use for 2 years!
"It's a pity! In another 400 years, this land may change hands, and these resources will also become other people's resources."

While talking, she led Jiang Yu and others into a closed door.

Jiang Yu comforted: "Don't be so pessimistic, even if the land will change hands tomorrow, we will live well today."

Jiang Yu and Shiliu also entered the door. They first saw a three-story water tower-like device, which was the prototype of the Venus-1 reactor.

There are a few staff members in protective clothing, who seem to be doing maintenance work in front of the "top of the tower" or "under the tower" instruments.

Yang Dong introduced to them that the protruding circular tower top is the emergency cooling system for the entire facility, and the reactor is built in the middle of the "water tower".

The underground is an emergency shutdown system. If a nuclear leak occurs, the nuclear fuel that has just finished the reaction will flow into containers made of special materials underground.

Now this prototype is undergoing final adjustments, and when it starts to operate officially, it will release a large amount of heat, which will then be directed into the steam generator.

The subsequent work is the same as that of a thermal power station, converting thermal energy into mechanical energy and then into electrical energy.

In general nuclear power plants, many such "water towers" are built side by side, and then a "big cover" is put on the outside to prevent nuclear leakage.

Sixteen questions: "The more environmentally friendly and controllable nuclear fusion project is already being developed hard, so why upgrade the nuclear fission power plant?"

Yang Dong said: "Because the controllable nuclear fusion technology has a breakthrough, it will be applied in space first.

"Fuel for nuclear fusion is easy to obtain and is a very cheap energy source, but building new nuclear power plants always takes time and costs.

"Relevant departments have made plans, and it may take 30 to 40 years before the public can generally use the electricity generated by nuclear fusion reactions.

"This is an energy upgrade. It does not mean that a breakthrough in a certain key technology can complete this upgrade, but requires a series of arrangements and controls.

"Prior to this, the nuclear fission power station still has to use its waste heat."

Sixteen nodded, indicating that he understood.

Then Yang Dong took them to visit the "artificial sun" project, and while walking there, Yang Dong said: "The 'artificial sun' project started in the last century.

"It's just that a series of international turmoil at the end of the last century has kept the plan from making any progress.

"Later, our country took over the program and trained a large number of researchers in controlled nuclear mutations."
