In a large classroom in the Department of Physics, several professors of the Department of Physics and hundreds of students are waiting.
Zhang Boyan announced on the stage: "Today we have a very meaningful lesson. Student He Xingzhou designed a micro nuclear reactor experiment, which is about to begin."
"In this class, we will watch his experimental process through live broadcast."
After Zhang Boyan finished speaking, he turned on the projection screen in the classroom, and the students immediately started talking.
"He Xingzhou is really doing this experiment? I thought it was a joke!"
"Yes, I would have forgotten it even if the professor didn't tell me."
"There are several school leaders here today, and the queue is too big!"
"He really dares to do it! I can't even think about it!"
Someone else asked He Xingzhou’s roommates, “Will his experiment be successful?”
"It should work. Didn't you look at the professor and give him personal guidance?" Wang Jiahao and others said.
Not only in the classroom, but also in the live broadcast at station B, He Xingzhou also opened the live broadcast room. The picture was shot by one of Zhang Boyan's students, who was also wearing protective clothing.
"Come on, come on, has the broadcast started?" At the beginning, some netizens who had been paying attention for a long time crowded into the live broadcast room.
"Brother, come and learn!"
"What girl are you looking at? Isn't it nice to watch a nuclear reactor experiment?"
"Why hasn't it started yet? Ten seconds have passed!"
The number of people online in the live broadcast room in ten minutes showed that there were more than a thousand people online, which was not too much, but for a host who was broadcasting for the first time, it was already very good.
The website operator has placed He Xingzhou's live broadcast in a recommended position so that visitors can also see it.
"Hello everyone, my name is He Xingzhou. Now I am doing the final preparations for the nuclear reactor experiment, refining thorium-232, which will turn into uranium-233, which is nuclear fuel, under the bombardment of neutrons!"
In front of He Xingzhou, there was a pile of ashes.
The ashes were coatings he scraped off old car lampshades and contained thorium-232, but they were not "pure" enough.
"Now I want to purify it." A lithium battery appeared on He Xingzhou's hand. He said: "I want to cut this lithium battery into pieces, mix the lithium and thorium ash together, and put it into an aluminum foil ball for heating. In this way, The purity of thorium has been purified at least 9,000 times!"
"Please note that this purity has exceeded 170 times the value allowed by the International Commission on Nuclear Regulation! If you want to do such an experiment, you must obtain a license!"
He Xingzhou was talking and doing, and in the live broadcast room, the audience was typing frantically.
"I learned it, I learned it, now go and purify it (the dog head saves your life)!"
"I want to do it, but my brain doesn't agree."
"666, live broadcast of purification of nuclear materials, this is my first time seeing it!"
"I was a little skeptical after watching the video, but now I'm watching the anchor's operation, and I find that you are really awesome!"
The number of people in He Xingzhou's live broadcast room has doubled in a few minutes.
In the classroom, professors and students were also watching and discussing.
"He Xingzhou is really a genius. He actually thought of such a way to obtain nuclear materials!" Cai Hao, a professor in the Department of Physics, said with emotion.
"It's indeed a good idea." Dong Chen, dean of the School of Physics, said happily, "It's rare to be able to conduct a nuclear test with just that little funding."
"He Xingzhou has something!" The students were also amazed.
"All of this is okay? Then after learning this, can you make an atomic bomb yourself?" someone said.
"The principles of the atomic bomb can be found in physics books, mainly about raw materials and design issues. Do you know the principles of airplanes? Can you build an airplane? The amount of nuclear raw materials He Xingzhou refined is only enough for a micro-experiment, and it is impossible to do such dangerous things. !”
"But having said that, I'm convinced now, at least I can't do this myself!"
He Xingzhou quickly purified the thorium and said, "We will officially start testing next."
Next to the nuclear reactor, there was a fish tank with deformed black snapper. This was not shown in the live broadcast, so no one knew about it.
He first made the nuclear fuel into a block, put it into the pressure cooker, and then covered it with a curtain. Make the control rod raw material into a rod shape and insert it vertically one by one through the round holes of the pot lid and lid curtain, with a section exposed outside for easy lifting and insertion.
He then filled the pressure cooker with boric acid solution to resist heat, fire, and cooling.
At this point, all the preparations for the experiment are ready. All that is left is for He Xingzhou to start the small water pump to turn on the circulation, and adjust the position of the control rod to start the nuclear fission reaction!
"Next, I will officially start the reactor!" He Xingzhou said. He himself was very calm, because all the experimental processes have been verified several times, and because of the scarcity of nuclear materials, there should be no danger.
But the students in front of the screen could not remain calm.
"Hun Dan, I suddenly became nervous!"
"I'm a little excited for no reason!"
"What if an accident occurs? Forget it if an accident occurs in an ordinary experiment. This is a nuclear test. I would like to ask, how powerful is the miniature nuclear bomb?"
"Failure is here!"
At this moment, everyone became nervous, as if it was not He Xingzhou who was in the laboratory now, but themselves!
He Xingzhou continued to operate. He started the water pump, adjusted the position of the control rod, and used pure water to adjust the boric acid concentration to start the fission reaction of the nuclear fuel.
In a miniature nuclear reactor, a nuclear fission reaction is taking place.
The radiation detection instrument in the laboratory lit up a red warning, "Warning, the radiation intensity exceeds the standard!"
"The reaction has begun!" Everyone cheered up and stared with wide eyes.
Of course they can't see the changes at the atomic level, but they can know whether the reaction is proceeding normally through other devices set up by He Xingzhou.
After the heat generated by the nuclear reaction heats the boric acid solution, a small water pump sends the high-temperature boric acid solution into the radiator. After exchanging heat with the water inside the pressure cooker two and outside the radiator, it returns to the pressure cooker one. In this continuous cycle, the nuclear fuel The heat is constantly brought out.
The steam impacts the fan, causing the fan to rotate continuously, driving the motor to run. At this time, the motor becomes a generator, which transports the electric energy converted from nuclear energy to the power storage device through wires.
Everyone could clearly see that the fan was rotating at high speed and the motor was also roaring. All the indicator lights on the power storage device lit up in an instant, and the electricity meter showed that the power was increasing!
"The nuclear reaction has started! It is being converted into electricity!" A student shouted in the classroom.
"Oh my God, he did it! A miniature nuclear fission reactor!"
"The power is increasing so fast! The radiation detection equipment keeps alarming. Nuclear radiation is really being generated!"
"Is He Xingzhou too powerful? He made his own nuclear reactor. Normally, he made his own nuclear reactor. But abnormally, if he ignites this reactor, it will be a miniature atomic bomb!"
Seeing this scene, the whole classroom was boiling!
Several of He Xingzhou's roommates even shouted excitedly, "Nais, the experiment was successful!"
They witnessed the entire process of He Xingzhou's creation of a micro-nuclear fission reactor, and at this time, they felt a sense of glorious participation in their hearts!
"Successful!" Zhang Boyan also smiled, and all the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes relaxed.
He insisted on this experiment, and now it is successful, which shows that his vision of people and things is not wrong.
"This student will become a good talk about our school in the future!" Dean Dong Chen laughed. He knew that this incident would definitely attract social attention and would be of great help in improving the school's reputation!
Although they were so happy, the audience in the live broadcast room was even more crazy. Just now, they witnessed a UP owner's self-made nuclear reactor successfully operating!
