However, Agor has this technology, and the Agor people are also very strange. They can extract deuterium, but they cannot manufacture a reactor. They have lost too much technology and technology, which makes it impossible to manufacture a qualified fusion reactor.

Now, after reaching a cooperation, combining the bulk space technology on hand of both parties, we can start deuterium extraction and fusion reactor manufacturing. Although the cost is also very high, in order to save the life of Lao Xia's few remaining nano-manufacturing systems, A considerable part of the components have to be manufactured by Agor, which is not only costly but also low in output.

Of course, the exchange condition proposed by the Agors is also very simple, that is, they need a large number of fusion reactors to maintain the basic operation of the underwater city and the orbital station that fell into the sea. Many of those ancient equipment are already dying , which is why the Agors seldom communicate with land people.

Not only because of arrogance and people don’t want to be friends with monkeys, but also because their own equipment is also aging, and the carrying capacity is declining rapidly, which cannot support large-scale trade and negotiation with land people. Even a considerable part of the Agors had to be "banished" to lighten the load on the underwater city.

In the final analysis, their fuel plant can still operate, but the reactor is really impossible to build. If the plant is built on land, the industrial and technical level of the land people is too low. Who knows when it will be able to manufacture, and the industrial production used underwater No, because the underwater environment can't make some key components at all.

Since the Agors and Kazdale are separated by Iberia and Rem Billiton, and Kazdale in the south is still in the hands of the Regent, it is unreasonable to transport consumables such as deuterium fuel over long distances, so here we use It is necessary to use water to extract deuterium fuel to make fuel rods for Xia Lin's existing reactor and future new nuclear power plants to generate electricity.

"Nuclear power plant? What is it?" The little tiger tilted his head. He understood both the words core and power plant. What do they mean when they are combined?

"A power generation technology that uses the energy of atomic nuclear power to generate electricity"

"Nucleus, ah, that, how did you do it?" The little tiger remembered the textbook knowledge he had read, the chemistry of the Terra people... It's hard to describe in one word, because the relationship between Originium skills is between early chemistry and Between alchemy, many operations are really similar to alchemy.

"Use high pressure and high heat to push them together, then form helium nuclei and release energy" is a minimalist explanation for laymen.

"No, I'm not asking this, I'm asking, how to restrain this energy?" Of course Beatrix knows the principle, she has read the elementary school textbook anyway, okay?

"Electromagnetic force, the most important thing is how to keep the core of this thing from overcooling and shutdown"

A super coil is needed to heat the plasma, but the origin stone helps a lot, which gives the reactor a great advantage in maintaining the reaction temperature, and how to convert it into electricity, the origin stone particles and steam can be used as a better medium than water ——No need to boil water to push the turbine.

Use the Originium effect field to absorb thermal energy from the plasma sphere to recharge, then pass the supersaturated high-energy stone vapor into the discharge chamber, use the wetware reactor to release its saturated energy in the form of ultra-high voltage current, and react the Originium vapor It is passed into another stage of circulation and flows into the reactor.

Part of the generated current uses another source stone device to heat the source stone particles located in the furnace core to maintain the reaction temperature and pressure of the plasma ball, and part of it is output to the outside.

This is much larger than the gravitational restraint reactor of the Covenant, but it is much less difficult to manufacture. At least it belongs to the current Agor limit construction scope. However, once the Agors build this kind of nuclear power plant, When their energy pressure is relieved, the capabilities of those industrial clusters will increase, and the difficulty of subsequent construction will be further reduced.

[PS]

Wetware nuclear power plant:

Tower preheat group - heats the injected fuel to the first stage.

Fox Heating Coil - Further heats the fuel until it reaches an ultra-high temperature plasma of 8 million K.

J-type repulsion mechanism-compresses the ultra-high temperature plasma sphere, reaches the reaction high pressure, and ignites the nuclear flame.

Multi-Leaf Cooling Exchanger - Exchanging cooling lines, exhausting waste heat.

Oversized Leaf Cooling Coils - cooling, cooling the reactor core casing to around -270 degrees.

Wetware maintenance cycle manufacturing center - all biological blood and nerve tissue required to manufacture wetware

Power pipe - ultra-high temperature source stone steam confinement and circulation pipe

Power Generation Room - Convert Originium energy into electricity for extraction.

Transformer Room - converts the Originium current into a normal usable ultra-high voltage AC output.

Neutron Barrier - blocks some of the neutron products to avoid damage to wetware piping.

Waste Treatment Center - handles biological waste caused by neutron radiation and normal failure of wet parts, level 3 nuclear, biological and chemical protection standards.

Control Brain Center - Biological computer control center and management wetware nervous system, controls the output of all wetware systems.

Adjusting rods - supercooled source stone components, after falling, quickly absorb the energy of the reactor, so that the plasma sphere automatically stops the reaction due to pressure loss and low temperature, and is used to adjust the reaction rate and emergency shutdown.

Exhaust Furnace - Exhaust the over-reacted Originium waste gas. After passing through the filter, it is normally discharged into a white high-temperature smoke column.

Crystallization Net - Treat Originium waste gas, recrystallize it, and avoid pollution.

Circulation tube - tissue fluid circulation system for wet parts.

Heat Exchange Coil-Origin Stone medium exchanges energy with the plasma sphere, and the energy obtained becomes supersaturated and overpressured Origin Stone steam.

Fuel Rods - Fuel gangs filled with deuterium fuel, Agor or Covenant specifications.

Chapter 70 The joys and sorrows of people are not connected

Iberia, Yanfeng City, the Agor Legion from the deep sea and the Iberian Judgment Army almost completely razed the city, Hai Si and those infected residents were all burned, leaving only A bare, half-collapsed gigantic city on the coast, its fishbone-like domes are covered with engineering scaffolding, and the Iberians are trying to restore this floating city.

As Agor's front-line base deep into the land, simple tents, construction machinery, and fixed weapons can be seen everywhere here. More materials and equipment are being concentrated here, and new giant facilities are being built on the ruins of the city.

The scale of the wetware nuclear power plant is much larger than that of a normal nuclear power plant, but the power generation efficiency under the same volume is much lower, because the leaf cooling unit has a limit, even if the JK type double confinement system is used, the reaction rate of the plasma sphere is maintained at Around one thousandth, not the theoretical value of four thousandths.

The ion heating coil made of Keshifu’s wet parts is half the size of a football field. It is used to share the waste heat of the reactor and cause the wet parts to fail. The total length of all the capillaries is almost a circle around Terra, if it is not a biological tissue tube. , Relying on metal to make it is estimated that it will not even be considered in a century or two.

This greatly distributes the thermal damage and neutron radiation damage, allowing the reactor coil to operate for a long time.In addition to the particle heating coil and the double-layer confinement system, the biocirculation center, which is similar to the building, is also the top priority.

The circulation core composed of thousands of tissue cultivation cabins continuously disposes of the wet parts damaged by high temperature and radiation, and then creates new supplements. Strictly speaking, living things are the most resistant to radiation, as long as they are destroyed and repaired The speed is basically the same, and it can withstand this kind of work demand.

Of course, they are also much more fragile than electronic and mechanical equipment, so they need to be repaired very quickly. In theory, the combined effect of the repair and replenishment speed of the biological circulation center and the protection of multiple thermal neutron barriers can maintain the reactor long-term operation.

The main purpose of building the reactor at the seaside is to make it easier for Agor to replenish fuel and discharge waste heat and exhaust gas, and use seawater as a buffer. After all, Agor people will not be infected with ore disease.

Although Agor and Iberia have allocated as much engineering force and resources as possible to the construction of the power station, only about 80% of the main building construction has been completed, and more equipment and control components are still being installed, especially the most critical The installation of the reactor core can only be done by Argor engineers.

"Kakaka" The component composed of four cylinders sank into the coolant little by little, and slowly entered the bottom ball igniter.

"The installation of the control rods is complete." "Docking of the confinement chamber!" The circular confinement chamber and the igniter are docked and locked, "Every unit checks the status"

Now the entire reactor still has no generator set installed, but the reactor itself is close to a usable state.After a lot of work, all the reactor core components transported from Kazdale have been installed, including the most expensive igniter.

"Prepare, ignite, test run!" As long as it can run stably for more than 1000 seconds, it means that most of the theoretical design requirements have been basically met, and the next step is to further install the remaining supercharger system and cooling system and more complex power generation And heat exchange system, turning the idle reactor into a power station that can export energy to the outside world.

"Injecting deuterium fuel" about a few milligrams of deuterium fuel is injected into the igniter, and then the tower igniter directly uses the origin stone particles to create a low-temperature plasma sphere. With the heating system turned on, the plasma sphere rapidly heats up, boosts the pressure, and becomes A transient ultra-high temperature ion ball will rapidly ignite the deuterium fuel injected into it.

Compared with normal laser igniters, this is more like the simplest ignition method using fusion-fission ignition, which first creates a nuclear fireball to ignite another nuclear fireball.

"Secondary reactor and confinement open" The plasma sphere is injected into the confinement ring, driven by the electromagnetic force, it starts to rotate rapidly around the confinement ring, and emits huge heat. The origin stone effect field device has not been installed, which is for The cooling unit is a huge test.

The leaf-cooled coil reached its peak power in the second second after it was turned on, and the heat exchange system discharged a large amount of waste heat to the outside, and the core coolant emitted blue Cherenkov radiation at a speed visible to the naked eye, eventually accompanied by With some kind of air screech, the entire reactor went into operation.

"1107 seconds, overheating cut off!" The restraint system and the heating system went offline one after another, and the cooling unit began to be overhauled. The reactor gradually stopped reacting in the depressurized state. Besides, the injected few milligrams of fuel could not burn for a long time.

"Basically achieve the effect, overhaul all the units, and then install the power generation unit."

The origin stone effect power generation unit is a plurality of vertical components built around the confinement ring, which will form an origin stone effect field perpendicular to the confinement ring, and the plasma will pass through it like an electromagnetic field, and based on the origin stone effect field Energy absorption, exchanging part of the heat energy to the source stone medium in the power generation unit.

The latter will melt, saturate, and sublimate in a very short period of time to become Originium steam carrying a large amount of saturated energy, passing through the power generation chambers one by one, releasing the energy in the form of electricity, and then recondensing, processing, and turning it into a negative energy state Throw it back into the reaction chamber to form a loop.

The whole process is complicated, cumbersome and inefficient, but it is the native method of the people of Terra who did not get the original technical components.

"Originstone skills are really easy to use, I never thought they could be done like this." As a technology consul, Geletia was amazed at the outsider's imagination. What is Originium skills?To put it bluntly, it is a bio-industrial component, a plan for Terra to replace equipment with manpower after losing or losing part of its technological and industrial power after the Great Migration.

Each individual is a part of a giant interstellar machine. This most primitive "manual" method is used to preserve the achievements and manufacturing capabilities of civilization. Under normal circumstances, after a part of the equipment is rubbed out by hand, it should enter a mechanized state. Yes, build a proper fusion reactor from the age of the First Men.

However, it is also because of this reason that it is difficult for the Terra people to develop developed civilization and industry for a long time, and the social system is also restricted by this genetic ability, and they stay in the era of blood aristocrats for a long time .

After all, for people in the era of cold weapons, industrial ion cutters and similar tools are not much different from magic weapons, or even miracles.

The Agors have not realized this usage for a long time. After all, theoretically, it is necessary to unify Terra and put these bulk industrial parts together as flat as possible. Considering the randomness of genetics, it is like It is as troublesome for you to assemble a bunch of random parts that are not known to be qualified or unqualified into a sophisticated industrial equipment, especially if the number of these parts is not necessarily enough.

After all, there are some origin stone skills that you can't find so many people, such as the Ye Leng system. In theory, to really achieve this effect with Terra's manual method, at least more than 20 white rabbits are required to fight against it without sleep. Intense radiation casts a spell around the reactor.

Therefore, before, no one would think of using Originium technology to manufacture more advanced equipment and nuclear power plants, until Lao Xia successfully came up with this kind of local method from another angle.

When you can only do it by hand most of the time, and you can’t find enough craftsmen, most people’s ideas are either to expand the cultivation mechanism to cultivate more manual craftsmen, or to automate operations. Absolutely no normal person would think of making craftsmen 20 or even millions of related biological organs and nervous system clones are used as consumables, and are forced to be handmade.

And this kind of solution that normal people can't even think of is the thing in front of Gloria, which still looks like an automated and mechanized nuclear power plant that uses extremely advanced biochemical technology and nanotechnology.

In fact, the entire process including cooling, power generation, confinement, and ignition is the same as if you cloned tens of billions of people and then superimposed them to squeeze out a nuclear reaction with your fist.

Advanced and backward, the perfect combination of machinery and manual products, using the most advanced technology to achieve the most backward way, it can also be said to achieve the most advanced technical effects by the most backward means.

"Oh, Agor's test run has been successful. They promised to build a large power plant on land to produce various power components and equipment." The doctor is very happy with this news. Agor's power components are very advanced. This means that the aviation, surface fleet and ground vehicles can all be greatly improved, and there is no need to use a bunch of things from Master Ke.

"However, in the short term, they are still unable to provide us with supplies, and the power equipment must be given priority to Iberia for reconstruction. However, the Iberian Grand Inquisitor and the Consul have stated that once Iberia resumes production, they will sign a contract with us. Further cooperation and even an alliance agreement.” After all, it is better to send charcoal in the snow than icing on the cake.

"Then we need to accelerate the advancement of the southern front. It cannot be used for war, but at least it can be used for construction." At least five or six years later, these power plants will have enough capacity to supply the doctor.

"Speaking of which, how is your daughter? Have you decided on a name?"

"Well, not yet, but Beatrix is ​​considering a name." Lao Xia said that this issue has not been considered yet, after all, naming is very important for any parent... . Difficult one thing.

And in a sense, it is also a very important thing for children. With a strange name, it may leave a psychological shadow for the rest of their lives, but this matter is not something that can be decided by oneself.

"However, I don't need to be on the front line for mountain management now. The preliminary engineering plan has been finalized, and we only need to check the situation regularly."

"I still need to do the corresponding training work, those people you sent are useless at all"

"That's already the best agricultural expert we can find." The doctor was a little helpless, all of them were found from Victoria and Casimir.

"They don't even understand genetics, so what's the use of throwing them into the fields and greenhouses?"

"I guess normal agriculturalists don't need to study your stuff, do they? I'm not saying they don't need to study genetics, but they don't need to go to that level, do they?"

The doctor really wants to complain about this matter, besides, Terra’s agricultural technology itself is not very developed, and genetics and biochemical technology are still at the stage of my thinking—look at the tests of the so-called advanced Laine life and the Loken water tank Just know.

"Then what's the use of them? I ask Yelena to be able to do things like simple seedling breeding and screening and hybridization. What I need is a 'creator' who can perform genetic manipulation and skillfully use virus tools, instead of holding my own. Farmers who directly plant edited seeds, that kind of thing, I can do it with enough advanced equipment for Yelena and the snow monster team."

"Then you may be disappointed. Scholars like Terra are really hard to find." The doctor complained, "If you have such great power, can ore disease still be a terminal illness? You just ask me to revive Presses." Let me help you, she is an expert in this field."

"However, in terms of climate and soil surveys, as well as guiding planting, those experts should still be useful?"

"I don't know as many types of plants as outsiders like me? I think they should make up for it."

"That's too embarrassing." Many people are even leaders in the industry. When they arrive here, they are hit head-on. They are all unheard of theories, tools, crops and species that have never been heard. Instead, what I am familiar with is the most basic agricultural machinery and planting process.

However, that kind of thing is like what Lao Xia said, you let Yelena and those young people who grew up on the farm come to professional training for a few months to do well. What he needs is to be able to deal with the diseases and insect pests of genetically modified crops, Genetic diseases, skilled use of virus tools to graft, suture, and cut gene fragments, deal with various plant and animal genetic diseases, and even direct the kind of expert who manufactures the required traits.

It does not require the creation of a new species out of thin air, but at least one that can overhaul an existing species. In addition, skillfully using various existing biological species, crops, viruses and bacteria for joint ecological transformation will not be able to grow The ability to plant the ground is also necessary.

"Then your standards are too high. We have already received a lot of protests, saying that the basic courses you set for the agricultural college are too difficult, and you don't even think about graduating people."

"Is it difficult?" Lao Xia scratched his head. He used vocational high-level textbooks, and the basic courses only let them learn the practical part of genetics and genetic modification. Of course, bioelectrochemistry and the necessary quantum Mechanics is also needed (some biological and biochemical activities do need to use this).

Since you want to learn quantum mechanics, the introduction to advanced mathematics in the interstellar era is the basic configuration. As for chemistry and biochemistry, it is also a compulsory course, which is added layer by layer...

"Is this taught to people?" Ms. Doumiao, who was full of confidence to enter the agricultural college, could hardly resist the urge to throw out the textbook in her hand. What the hell is this? "What the hell is this biochemical dynamics?" what!!!!"

Every word can be understood, and there are no more than 3 nouns that can be understood together. Of course, this is not used to make biological engines, but refers to the power part of biochemical activities in living organisms.

It is used to manufacture, control, and understand the working principles and basic principles of the equipment and virus tools for gene editing. In Lao Xia's words, this is already the practical part, and does not involve more in-depth theoretical issues, so there is no need to go in-depth A section that studies quantum mechanics and physics.

Otherwise, it’s hard to say whether new agricultural experts can be cultivated, and there must be no problem if a few lunatics are assembled. This set of textbooks, with the intelligence of lambs, is a headache. It’s not a problem with the textbooks, but because there are no qualified teachers at all. The problem of self-study and having a teacher teach are two difficulties.

"It's better for us to major in agricultural machinery." A bagpipe lady in a dormitory happily put 2/3 less textbooks than her roommates on the table. "There are few textbooks, the courses are simple, and the practical difficulty is not too high."

She is so happy because there are not many agricultural machines. Otherwise, the network maintenance of agricultural drones and the maintenance and manufacture of drones will be smashed by fluid mechanics, electronic engineering, and programming. Bao, it was only because Lao Xia didn't have these devices, and Taila couldn't popularize them, that he was spared from suffering.
