Xijiaotou is west of Hainan Island, surrounded by mountains and sea, facing a half-moon-shaped semi-closed bay. The waves are calm and sparsely populated, and the clear sea water reveals the green surroundings, making it look like a painting. If you build a few villas along the mountain, it is really an excellent resort destination.

Xijiaotou is only about 80 kilometers away from Haikou. A newly opened dozens of kilometers can drive rural asphalt roads in both directions, appearing and disappearing in the undulating green hills. Duke's nuclear reaction experimental reactor base is built at the end of this road.

Duke took the Buick business car in the experimental pile base. At this moment, snow began to fall in the north, and it was still a green landscape. His mood suddenly improved a lot. With such beautiful scenery, the location of this base seemed very good, allowing researchers to enjoy the beautiful scenery like vacation while working hard.

Duke's business car quickly reached the end of the road. The first thing that caught Duke's eye was five white chimneys, with 5 milky white cylinders of the same size standing in the air. This should be because the designers designed the emission chimneys of different powers exactly the same for the sake of aesthetics. In addition, the entire base is uniformly used as the main color, making it look simple and elegant.

The designers of the surrounding supporting factories and housing are also ingenious and form petal-like shapes. If you can look down from the air at this moment, you can see that the entire base is like a lotus in bloom, full of unique beauty. Obviously, the engineers who designed the overall building appearance were inspired by the lotus.

Duke fell in love with such a beautiful base almost at first sight. He felt that the funds he invested had not been wasted, and this was an ideal research place. Remove the core of the nuclear reactor of ordinary people, this place was simply a vacation base.

Today is the most important core part of the installation of the experimental reactor, and he came to the site for on-site observation and supervision.

The on-site installation work was carried out in an orderly manner under the command of Duke Laboratory researchers. Seeing the modules successfully installed, Duke couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Although these things on the electronic drawings provided by Bileme are now processed with the smallest miniature version, they can be assembled seamlessly, which shows that the processing technology level of Shenda machine tools basically meets the requirements. In the future, they only need to find ways to enlarge the size of these spare parts and process them out, and they should be able to produce equipment that is truly commercially applied.

I just don’t know whether the existing material properties, mechanical properties, etc. can be supported by larger-scale applications. These require real operation tests before obtaining first-hand actual data from the current equipment use, and then calculate the various indicators that need to be achieved in larger-scale applications.

Since there are many materials in the design provided by Bileme that cannot be produced on Earth, Duke is now unable to figure out whether the materials he uses to replace can withstand the test, so he has this tiny experimental stack, which is the best opportunity to test theory with practice.

Following Duke, there were also a group of nuclear reaction research experts gathered from Project No. 10. At this moment, they were looking at the core designed by Duke. Judging from the volume, Duke's core is at least one-third smaller than the experimental reactor with the same power.

Although Duke uses the latest special alloy material developed, the various parameters tested also look much higher than the commonly used materials.

However, since there has not been any practical test, these experts are still worried that this core that has reduced a lot of sizes can withstand the pressure. In their opinion, many places in Duke's core design use materials too much, greatly reducing the thickness of the casting, which is a bit too simple to protect the core.

Although this is just a pile type for experiment purposes, and the number of simulated test feeds can be adjusted to ensure that there is no problem with this size, this thing is very important after all. What should I do if there is an accident? Generally, the design is to ensure higher redundancy.

What made them even more curious was what technology Duke used in this core to output high-temperature steam that can drive power generation equipment of different power sources. Unfortunately, the core is basically equipped with complete equipment, and experts can only look at the external features, and no information about this aspect is revealed from this external feature.

Experts can't even figure out what level of Duke's stack type is, is it a 3 and a half generation? Or a fourth generation stack type?

After watching the installation of the nuclear island without any gain, the experts who were somewhat disappointed came to the main control room and immediately decided to lit up.

Through the huge curtain wall seamlessly spliced ​​with the new Salt display, it gives people a strong visual impact. According to the construction introduction, this super-large curtain wall can be seen in aerospace base except for TV stations. It is said that the cost price is at least tens of millions. This kind of big money cannot be seen in other experimental piles, which is really too expensive.

The rows of neat operating tables give experts a feeling that the automatic level of the entire experimental reactor is very high. Judging from the current situation, experts have not seen any places where manual and fine adjustments are required. Basically, all operations are concentrated on this main control room, except for disaster recovery operations in certain places in extremely abnormal situations.

Duke's experimental reactor completely abandons the places where manual operation is done. If the computer performance on the earth is not as different from that of the Lyme starry sky, Duke would not have used so many operating tables. This is an experimental reactor. Duke not only needs to ensure the normal operation of the experimental reactor, but also needs to collect a lot of data that is irrelevant to the operation for analysis.

Therefore, although the output power of this experimental reactor is very small, the number of sensors is used several times more than that of a normal nuclear power plant. Once the experimental reactor is operating normally, a large amount of data will be transferred. To analyze these massive data, a large number of high-performance computers are required to understand in real time whether the experimental reactor is operating normally and whether the ability of each device to withstand exceeds the limit...

After installing all the equipment, the equipment is powered on and off-loaded. The huge curtain wall concentrates all the information on the experiment stack on it, indicating that the monitoring system is running normally, and the sensors distributed in various places are powered on at one time, indicating that the installation work is extremely successful.

After completing the monitoring system debugging, a intensive simulated feeding operation was started. The simulated nuclear fuel was successfully put into the core reactor of the experimental reactor through a fully automatic nuclear fuel delivery system, and then it was successfully taken out and transferred to the waste recycling system. The whole process was completed in one go...

"Congratulations, Dr. Duke, the simulation debugging was successful at one time, proving that it was a very high-level experimental reactor. We are all looking forward to its performance in actual operation." Zhu Yunqian, the chief expert of the gray-haired No. 10 Project, looked at the successful debugging and took the lead in applauding and congratulating.
