It was already five o'clock in the afternoon when we finished visiting the Tabeihu Nuclear Power Plant under construction.
While Su Zhe and his party were having dinner, a large school tour group led by principal Xu Zhengping also came to the Tabei Lake Nuclear Power Plant under construction.
Everyone met in the cafeteria.
There are more than a hundred people in the school's large visiting group, and these people are basically the seniors and senior students of the school.
After a while of greetings, Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming continued to have dinner.
After dinner, when Su Zhe and his party were preparing to go back to rest, Assistant Principal Han Guoli invited Su Zhe and his party to attend a symposium.
The time is from 7 to 10 pm, a symposium on the nuclear industry.
According to Han Hanli, for this symposium, Duan Sanli, director of the Northwest Nuclear Industry Research Institute, and Ma Shancai, chairman of the Northwest Nuclear Industry Group, a subsidiary of the Northwest Nuclear Industry Research Institute, came over in person.
Su Zhe and his team knew about Duan Sanli and Ma Shancai because they were both outstanding alumni of Lingzhou University of Technology.
Besides, the two nuclear power plants, Tabei Lake Nuclear Power Plant and Taxi Lake Nuclear Power Plant, are both constructed by Northwest Nuclear Industry Group.
The Northwest Institute of Nuclear Industry is even more remarkable. It not only leads the development of fourth-generation nuclear power plants, but is also at the forefront of the world in research on controllable nuclear fusion.
Su Zhe and his party decided to attend this symposium without thinking too much.
After everyone in the large visiting group had dinner, Su Zhe and his party left the cafeteria together with these people.
Su Zhe, Fan Xiaoming, Xu Zhengping, and Guo Ziming had just walked out of the cafeteria when they met Duan Sanli and Ma Shancai who were rushing in.
After a brief introduction, everyone was led by Duan Sanli and Ma Shancai to a large conference room in a simple office building.
At this time, there were already more than a hundred people sitting in the large conference room.
Amid warm applause, Su Zhe, Xu Zhengping and others sat down.
At first, everyone was chatting and laughing about household matters.
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost settled, Ma Shancai, chairman of the Northwest Nuclear Industry Group, briefly introduced the fourth-generation nuclear power plant.
Nearly three hundred people attended the symposium.
Half of them are teachers and students from Lingzhou University of Technology, and the remaining half are from Northwest Nuclear Industry Research Institute and Northwest Nuclear Industry Group.
After Ma Shancai's introduction, everyone started discussing.
Everyone is talking about the future of the nuclear industry.
Many people think that the current nuclear fission nuclear power plants will be replaced by fusion nuclear power plants sooner or later.
At the same time, everyone also knows that controllable nuclear fusion is far away.
The reality is that while we are constantly developing controllable nuclear fusion, we are constantly optimizing nuclear fission power plants and optimizing nuclear fission reactors.
Everyone first talked about the development progress of controllable nuclear fusion. There was no essential breakthrough in either magnetic confinement or inertial confinement.
Everyone's opinion is that it will take an unknown number of fifty years for controllable nuclear fusion to succeed.
After talking about controllable nuclear fusion, everyone started talking about nuclear fission.
Finally everyone reached a consensus.
The problems of nuclear fission mainly focus on three aspects, including the safety of reactor operation, nuclear waste disposal, and nuclear fuel reserves and mining.
Seeing that everyone had reached a consensus, Duan Sanli, director of the Northwest Nuclear Industry Research Institute, stood up with a microphone.
At the same time, a ppt appeared on the big screen in the conference room.
The title of the ppt is "Sixth Generation Nuclear Reactor".
Seeing such a title, some people raised questions and asked why it was the sixth generation instead of the fifth generation.
"Well, the fifth-generation nuclear reactor has basically been finalized and is now in the verification process." Duan Sanli replied with a smile.
After saying this, Duan Sanli began to introduce the sixth-generation nuclear reactor.
The total weight of this sixth-generation nuclear reactor does not exceed twenty tons, and its volume does not exceed twenty cubic meters.
The most critical thing is that the sixth-generation nuclear reactor does not need to boil water, and its energy conversion method is light energy.
Its energy collection mechanism is to directly collect the light energy produced by nuclear fission, as well as the kinetic energy of high-energy particles produced during the nuclear fission process...
Finally, the output of sixth-generation nuclear reactors is light energy.
After Duan Sanli introduced "Sixth Generation Nuclear Reactor", everyone in the conference room looked at Su Zhe.
As everyone knows, most of the new technologies in the sixth-generation nuclear reactors come from Su Zhe's two papers, "High-Power Optical Energy Wired Transmission Technology" and "Microscopic Principles of Electromagnetic Wave Mutual Conversion".
Duan Sanli looked at Su Zhe and asked expectantly: "Professor Su! What do you think of the sixth-generation nuclear reactor?"
Su Zhe smiled and said: "The general direction is feasible... Actually! The sixth-generation nuclear reactor can be made lighter and smaller."
When Duan Sanli was introducing the sixth-generation nuclear reactor, he was rapidly calculating in his mind.
According to his calculations, the general direction of sixth-generation nuclear reactors is feasible.
He lamented in his heart that only a short time after his paper came out, someone was already launching new technologies based on the theory in his paper.
And applied to reactors.
"How light and small can this... be?" Duan Sanli looked excited.
He was very excited to receive Su Zhe's approval.
He clearly remembered that after obtaining the paper written by Su Zhe, he felt like a treasure.
He organized important personnel of the institute to study and study Su Zhe's thesis overnight.
Finally, the "Sixth Generation Nuclear Reactor" was created.
And he also knew that the paper would also be of great help to the research on controllable nuclear fusion.
"It's the size of an ordinary AA battery." Su Zhe replied with a smile.
Hearing what Su Zhe said, the conference room instantly became quiet.
Su Zhe smiled and continued: "To make it so small, it doesn't have a lot of energy, and it's not easy. According to my opinion, the best size is to make a suitcase. It has enough energy and is easy to carry."
For a moment, everyone in the conference room let out bursts of exclamations.
Duan Sanli and Ma Shancai excitedly left their seats and ran to Su Zhe's side.
After confirming with Su Zhe, the two proposed to cooperate with Jiutian Research Center to develop a sixth-generation nuclear reactor.
Just like that, the symposium was paused.
The symposium continued after Su Zhe, Fan Xiaoming, Duan Sanli and Ma Shancai reached an agreement on cooperation.
As soon as they came up, Duan Sanli talked about the safety issues of nuclear reactor operation.
It is said that with the development of science and technology, security will become higher and higher, and the new technologies adopted...
After talking about safety issues, we talked about nuclear waste disposal and nuclear fuel reserves and mining.
At this time, a picture appeared on the big screen ppt.
The background of the picture is a starry sky, and in the middle of the starry sky is a donut-shaped ring device.
"This is the ring accelerator we envisioned." Duan Sanli explained, "In the future, we will build a very large accelerator in space or on a certain planet, and use the energy provided by the light beam project to process nuclear waste and convert these nuclear waste into Nuclear fuel…”
Everyone was very excited about Duan Sanli's description.
At the end, Duan Sanli made it clear that after the Light Pillar Project is fully completed, the nuclear reactor will only be used as a backup and for special purposes.
Everyone agrees with this.
…
When the time came to ten o'clock in the evening, the symposium ended, and most people went back to their residences to rest.
Su Zhe, Fan Xiaoming, Duan Sanli, and Ma Sancai arrived at a small conference room.
Fan Xiaoming and Duan Sanli signed the just-drafted cooperation agreement on behalf of Jiutian Research Center and Northwest Nuclear Industry Research Institute.
The content of the cooperation agreement is to cooperate in the development of sixth-generation nuclear reactors and the construction of a very large accelerator in space.
After signing the agreement and shaking hands, Duan Sanli said with a smile on her face: "Happy cooperation!"
“Happy to work with!”
Everyone shouted.
…
Early the next morning, Su Zhe, Fan Xiaoming, Zuo Dajun, Zhou Dashi and five assistants left the tower after having breakfast. They were greeted by principal Xu Zhengping, director of Northwest Nuclear Industry Research Institute Duan Sanli and others. The site where Beihu Nuclear Power Plant is located.
A large visiting group led by principal Xu Zhengping will visit the Tabeihu Nuclear Power Plant under construction.
Su Zhe and his party have already visited the Tabeihu Nuclear Power Plant under construction. What they are going to next is the center of the Tamu Gobi and the reserved land for the Jiutian Research Center.
A reserved land with a radius of fifty kilometers.
Su Zhe and his party left the station in a leisurely business minibus.
In the car, Zhou Dashi looked at the map on his mobile phone and said: "It will take us a whole morning to reach the edge of the center of Tamu Gobi. There are no construction sites there, but there are some exploration team stations. We will have lunch there at noon. , chatted with the members of the exploration team, and then traveled across the center of the Tamu Desert to the Tamu Town Station. At this point, the three-day visit is over."
"That's it!" Fan Xiaoming thought for a while and said, "We just walked around the east side of Tamu Gobi and didn't go to the west at all."
"There is nothing interesting to see in the west. Except for the area of the electric vehicle automation factory, other places are engaged in infrastructure construction." Zhou Dashi explained.
"Yes! The construction sites are all the same. There really isn't much to see." Fan Xiaoming smiled.
"Yeah!" Zhou Dashi put away his phone, looked at Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming, thought for a while and said, "According to our current development speed, when will we be able to fully enter space?"
In the past six months, there have been too many changes.
Not to mention those technological breakthroughs.
The school went all out to launch the Super Factory Project, and the Jiutian Research Center went even further, launching its Super Hadron Collider Complex Project and Space Gateway Project.
When these plans are combined, it becomes even more serious, and they are directed towards the development of the solar system.
"This..." Fan Xiaoming thought for a while and said, "It should take less than a few years. As long as we have a simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine, we will be able to fully enter space."
Su Zhe nodded with a smile and said: "It can be as fast as two or three years, and at most it can be five or six years."
"So fast!" Zhou Dashi was a little surprised.
"This is fast!" Fan Xiaoming smiled, "This is what we are conservatively saying. In fact, it can be faster."
Did he know that once the development of a simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine is completed, he can use the Light Chaser Engineering Verification System to send a spacecraft into space.
If the Zhuguang Project verification system is not powerful, you can also use the ss-defense system.
You must know that the beam diameter of the SS-defense system's special death light can reach thirty meters, which is much stronger than the light-chasing engineering verification system.
"That's it! That's great!" Zhou Dashi said excitedly.
"Well, you'd better not get too excited." Fan Xiaoming said with a smile, "Just think about it, once we fully enter space, those of you who are engaged in construction will be very busy, and you will have to learn a lot of things all over again."
"Yes! Yes!" Zuo Dajun smiled and nodded, "The environment in space is different, and the gravity of those planets is also different... Those who engage in architecture will have to open a new discipline in the future, called space architecture."
Su Zhe and the five assistants looked at Zhou Dashi and nodded with a smile.
Zhou Dashi did not feel any pressure, but became more excited and said: "Space Architecture, I like this name."
"What? You have been prepared for this for a long time." Fan Xiaoming asked somewhat unexpectedly.
"Yes!" Zhou Dashi nodded, "Our School of Architecture made a prediction a few months ago, and some teachers and students in the school are doing work in this area."
Speaking of this, he had to sigh at the excellence of this freshmen class.
The super factory project was launched in the school, and the Jiutian Research Center launched the super hadron collider complex project and the space portal project.
Some first-year students in the college have proposed the concept of space architecture.
It is said that the School of Architecture must keep up with the times, and that architecture is indispensable in developing the solar system.
As soon as the freshman student proposed it, the college discussed it.
I immediately decided to do research in this area.
"This... the School of Architecture is forward-looking." Fan Xiaoming affirmed, "The School of Architecture will be the birthplace of space architecture in the future."
"That's it! That's it!" Zhou Dashi nodded excitedly.
Zong Lanyue thought for a while and said to Zhou Dashu: "Why do I feel that your construction and mechanical design overlap? Take the space city as an example. Do you want to engage in architectural design or mechanical design? other?"
"Needless to say! They must be looking for us to do construction." Zhou Dashi said without thinking.
"Designing a space city requires everyone to work together." Bi Yuankui said seriously. "Take the Penglai space city we are going to build as an example. It requires the participation of people from many disciplines to make it possible."
"Cooperation is certain, but the expansion of disciplines is hard to say. This is related to competition between colleges." Zong Lanyue said.
"Well! That's it!" Liu Fen explained, "It doesn't matter to us in the School of Science, but it's different in the School of Engineering. With the full entry into space, many new disciplines will definitely appear. How to divide these new disciplines? It depends on which college takes advantage of it first."
"..."
Several people talked to each other, looking at Zhou Dashi while talking.
Zhou Dashi finally came to his senses at this time, and quickly took out his cell phone and called Guo Ziming, the dean of the School of Architecture.
Everyone laughed while listening to the call between Zhou Dashi and Guo Ziming.
Within the school, there is a competitive relationship between colleges and colleges.
In the past, the competition among colleges of science was not very high. After all, the subjects of science were clearly divided.
But now the emergence of interdisciplinary subjects has greatly increased the competitiveness among colleges of science.
But no matter how competitive the School of Science is, it is not as competitive as those of the School of Engineering.
How can the School of Science compete? It is difficult to be revoked.
But the School of Engineering is different. If you are not careful, the entire school may be cancelled.
