Chapter 297: Now we can prepare to launch the project!
As before, Xu You was still not approved to go to the site for this land-based model reactor experiment.
Because the nuclear reactor protection box has been replaced with a new type of material, generally speaking, a new type of material may have greater uncertainty .
There may be some hidden risks involved.
Therefore, when testing new materials, we must ensure safety as much as possible to avoid unexpected situations.
Before new materials are used to protect nuclear reactions, they are first subjected to multiple tests on temperature, pressure, etc.
After ensuring the strength of the material, they officially used it in experiments on land-based model reactors.
In order to test the material's adaptability to nuclear reactions, the intensity of the nuclear reaction is controlled to be relatively weak at the beginning.
After many tests, the intensity of the nuclear reaction is gradually increasing.
During this period, the new material has been performing well, and various data show that this material's ability to withstand nuclear reactions and its level of isolation from nuclear radiation are indeed very good.
It is indeed much better than the performance of the previous generation of materials.
Previous materials had reached their limit when the power of a single reactor reached around 480MW.
However, under the same power, the new material still withstands the strong nuclear reaction well, and the level of nuclear radiation isolation is fully up to standard.
Until the reactor power is increased to 800MW, which has reached the upper limit of a single reactor.
For the nuclear reaction protection box made of new materials , all data are still within the prescribed range.
Such results basically prove that this is a material that is more suitable as a nuclear reaction protection box.
After the experiments on the land-based model reactor are completed.
Fan Haisheng organized everyone and held another meeting.
Before the meeting, many core members learned the news and came to the meeting room with beaming faces, in a very good mood.
Fan Haisheng was also in a good mood. This was the happiest moment for Fan Haisheng since the project codenamed Wu was launched.
After the core members of the project team gathered in the conference room.
Fan Haisheng began his periodic summary.
"The new phase of land-based model reactor experiments has been completed. In this phase of the experiment, we achieved a single pressurized water reactor power of 800MW, and the new nuclear reactor protection box has been able to withstand this intensity of power very well, and the isolation of nuclear radiation has also strictly met the requirements."
Listening to Fan Haisheng's words, everyone knew that this was very exciting news.
To put it simply, this land-based model reactor experiment was a complete success.
This is an extremely critical milestone in the construction of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.
"Next, we will start the project of the reactor verification ship!"
Upon hearing the news, everyone applauded spontaneously.
In fact, according to the experimental results of the land-based model reactor, the nuclear power plant designed by Xu You has met the conditions required for a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.
Of course, in order to ensure the stability of the nuclear power plant to the greatest extent possible.
The construction and testing of the reactor verification ship is also an essential stage.
Next, Fan Haisheng assigned tasks for the next stage to everyone.
But this time, Xu You was not assigned any task.
Xu You did not ask Fan Haisheng on the spot, because he was already prepared for this result.
After the meeting, Fan Haisheng found Xu You alone and explained his ideas.
"Professor Xu, thank you for your hard work during this period. You still have a lot of work to do at Ji University, so I won't bother you with the following tasks. You have made the greatest contribution to Code Five by solving the problem of the nuclear power plant."
Xu You also knew in his heart that after solving the problem of the nuclear power plant, the next problems would be relatively easier.
There would be no need for me to follow him around Bincheng Shipyard all the time.
"Okay, Mr. Fan, I'm going back to Ji University. If you need me later, you can always come to me. I expect that we will be able to achieve complete success in our subsequent work."
It will take a long time from the success of the land-based model reactor, to the construction of the reactor verification ship, and finally to the launching of the code-named reactor five.
But after Xu You completed the design of the new nuclear power plant.
The progress of the entire Code Five project is much ahead of plan.
Xu You is very much looking forward to the day when Codename Five will be officially launched.
At that time, Xu You must personally stand on the deck of Code-Name Five to feel what it feels like to sit on the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier that he helped design.
After completing this mission, Xu You was personally escorted to the door by several leaders of Bincheng Shipyard.
In fact, if it weren't for confidentiality, these leaders would have sent Xu You to the airport.
Xu You also understood this very well. Etiquette has never been a problem for Xu You.
After returning to Ji University, the school held a welcoming banquet for Xu You.
In fact, the school had no idea what Xu You was going to do on this trip.
But with such a high level of confidentiality, everyone knew that this must be a very important mission, and no one asked about it .
At Xu You's personal request, the welcoming banquet was shortened a lot.
Because Xu You has more important people to see.
[Xu You: Yaoyao, I'm back at Jida. Are you in the dormitory? I'll pick you up downstairs.]
[Lu Zhiyao: You must be very tired after just coming back. I will go find you.]
[Xu You: I’m not tired. I’ll go to your dormitory now.]
[Lu Zhiyao: Where are you now? I'll go to your side too]
After determining each other's location, they both ran towards each other in both directions.
In order to see each other faster, they both gradually went from walking quickly to jogging and then to running.
Soon, Xu You and Lu Zhiyao met on a road.
"Professor Xu, you are finally back."
After Xu You became a professor, Lu Zhiyao often called him "Professor Xu".
This originally official name sounded very interesting when spoken by Lu Zhiyao.
Lu Zhiyao was looking forward to Xu You holding her hand immediately.
But Xu You didn't do that.
Instead, he hugged Lu Zhiyao tightly.
"Hey, there are too many people here, let's first..."
This time, Xu You didn't worry about anything.
"Yaoyao, I really miss you these days."
"Yeah, I miss you, too."
Seeing Xu You hugging her tightly, Lu Zhiyao also hugged Xu You, feeling Xu You's heartbeat and the temperature of his body.
After being separated for so long, these two entangled quantum particles can finally be together in close proximity again.
After the two hugged each other for a long time, Xu You finally let go of his arms.
"Let's go home."
