#80 - Chapter 80 Thorium-based molten salt reactor, the fourth generation of nuclear technology!
The man with the beard was called Liu Gang, and he was the head of the Fission Project.
His name suited him perfectly.
His personality was very upright.
When he heard that someone from above was coming to guide their work, he didn't think much of it at first, until he saw who they sent...
He was furious!
A little kid guiding their work?
Fortunately, Jiang Ye pulled him aside in private and explained the stakes to him.
It's just someone here to get gilded, why take it seriously?
As long as you're polite on the surface and the other party is happy to be praised, and they don't really interfere with the work, it won't have much impact.
But!
This little kid really intends to guide their work!
Isn't that just giving blind orders?
Ordinary projects are fine, but this is a nuclear power plant!
Blind orders can lead to big problems, and they'll be the ones to take the blame when that happens?
Seemingly not hearing Liu Gang's outburst, Chen Hao continued to say, "If I remember correctly, Ling'ao uses a 990,000-kilowatt pressurized water reactor, which can barely be considered a 2.5-generation technology."
"First of all, the power generation is very low."
"Secondly, the economics are not ideal."
"Personally, I think it can be further improved."
At the scene.
Everyone looked at him with strange expressions.
As if they were watching a clown.
Is he just showing off with things he read in a book?
Everyone knows the shortcomings, but the problem is that China's nuclear technology is currently at this level.
If he's so capable, he shouldn't just be nitpicking, but offering solutions!
"I drew some blueprints in the car this afternoon, on the way here."
Chen Hao took out the blueprints.
Without a computer, he could only draw by hand.
He had Ding Xiang drive, and he sat in the back seat drawing: "Thorium-based molten salt reactor technology."
"My design is for a single unit of 10 million kilowatts."
Thorium-based molten salt reactor.
Jiang Ye was stunned.
He was the first to walk to Chen Hao's side.
This...
As an expert in nuclear technology, he was immediately immersed in it upon seeing it.
What kind of god-like technology is this?
China doesn't have it!
The world doesn't have it either!
Seeing the extremely complex blueprints, his expression became more and more serious, and then more people realized something was wrong and gathered around.
"How is the economics?" Jiang Ye asked with a solemn expression.
"Less waste, higher fuel efficiency, and several times more economical compared to traditional pressurized water reactors."
"What about safety?"
Jiang Ye uncovered the first blueprint.
Below was the second one.
Clearly!
It was a diagram of the safety device designed by Chen Hao!
"According to this design, even if it is hit by external forces, there is no need to worry about leakage," Chen Hao explained.
"Who... who exactly are you?!"
Suddenly.
Jiang Ye looked up at him, his eyes full of shock: "This technology... can it really be realized?"
"Yes."
Chen Hao only said one word.
His tone was extremely firm.
"What generation of nuclear technology is this?"
"Fourth generation."
"..."
According to Chief Engineer Jiang, the higher-ups who came to coax the second-generation rich were all as still as sculptures.
Fourth-generation nuclear technology!
This May.
The North American Department of Energy, in collaboration with more than a hundred nuclear experts around the world, just proposed fourth-generation nuclear technology.
That's right!
Currently, it is only limited to proposing concepts!
North America proposed the concept of fourth-generation nuclear technology and the corresponding 14 requirements - that is to say, it can only be considered fourth-generation nuclear technology if these 14 requirements are met.
However.
The concept that the United States just proposed a few months ago.
In China, it has been realized!
This young man, who is less than 20 years old, not only surpassed Chinese technology.
He even leads the world!
Crushing North America!
At first, when everyone saw that the person sent from above to guide the work was a little kid under 20 years old.
Everyone thought he was here to get gilded.
At this moment.
They finally realized that what the higher-ups said was too conservative.
What kind of guidance is this?
He's clearly here to teach the students!
Technology that is still in the conceptual stage globally is even blank to them.
As a teacher, Chen Hao will directly improve their nuclear technology level from the 2.5th generation to the globally crushing 4th generation!
"Except for Chief Engineer Jiang and the head of the Fission Project, everyone else, please leave first," Chen Hao said with a smile.
"Everyone, please leave first!" Jiang Ye directly ordered people to leave.
In the blink of an eye.
Only three people were left on the scene.
And the head of the Fission Project...
Is precisely Liu Gang, who had previously confronted Chen Hao!
"Mr... Mr. Chen!"
Liu Gang's face was full of shame: "I'm sorry! I didn't recognize the true god and offended you a lot... How about you scold me? Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep tonight!"
"I don't have time to scold you; let's talk business now," Chen Hao said sternly.
Business?
The two of them felt a tightening in their hearts.
Just now, what Chen Hao took out was the world's leading fourth-generation nuclear technology.
It can push China's nuclear power plants to the highest level in the world.
As a result...
It's not even considered business?
This is enough to show that the things he will say next are more confidential than nuclear power plants!
"Compared to traditional pressurized water reactors, thorium-based molten salt reactors are easier to miniaturize and have extremely strong output power." To laymen, Chen Hao's words were incomprehensible.
"Are you saying..."
Jiang Ye and Liu Gang's expressions changed drastically.
Especially Liu Gang.
As the head of the nuclear fission project, he was extremely sensitive to Chen Hao's words.
"Nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, strategic nuclear submarines."
Chen Hao lowered his voice: "Even nuclear torpedoes, nuclear-powered satellites, nuclear-powered missiles, etc."
The two were trembling.
Nuclear power plants are commercial projects.
What Chen Hao proposed, however, was a strategic weapon!
"Who exactly are you?"
Jiang Ye asked the same question for the second time.
The last time he asked, Chen Hao didn't answer.
"Mr. Chen, do you know... Chief Engineer Song Wencong?" Liu Gang suddenly asked.
"I know him."
"It's you?!"
Liu Gang showed a look of shock.
"What?" Jiang Ye was confused.
"I'm good friends with Lao Song."
Liu Gang explained with an excited face: "Some time ago, I often couldn't get in touch with him, so I asked him what he was doing."
"He only said that he was tackling key problems in epoch-making weapons and that China had a national pillar."
"He didn't reveal anything else."
"He was the one working on that, but he used an admiring tone to call the other party a national pillar."
Looking at his excited face, Chen Hao smiled indifferently: "Chief Engineer Song didn't say it because there are confidentiality regulations; actually, it's not a big deal—in the end, the fourth-generation aircraft is only a tactical level."
Only a tactical weapon.
Nuclear weapons are strategic weapons and the strongest deterrent!
He said it so lightly.
Jiang Ye and Liu Gang were so shocked that they couldn't speak.
Fourth-generation aircraft?
Only the United States has just had its first flight three years ago, and it hasn't even been mass-produced yet!
So...
This young man not only mastered the most advanced nuclear technology.
He also solved the fourth-generation aircraft across fields?!
"Let's do this first."
Seeing the two in a daze, Chen Hao said, "I didn't prepare detailed information temporarily, and the hand-drawn blueprints are not accurate. When I get back, I'll use drawing software..."
"What drawing software?" Jiang Ye asked quickly.
"A software I designed myself."
"..."
The two were hit by another 10,000 points of critical damage.
Drawing software.
It is also a shortcoming of China!
However, various particularly profound designs must use drawing software.
"That software..." Jiang Ye murmured.
"I'll send you the blueprints and the software together when the time comes."
Chen Hao waved his hand and walked outside: "About the conversation just now, you know the confidentiality regulations, right? I have other things to do—let's do this first; contact me by phone."
Why did he tell them this?
Fourth-generation nuclear technology will inevitably enter the military industry field.
These two people will likely participate in military nuclear projects in the future, so let's just say hello in advance.
"Mr. Chen, I'll see you off!"
Jiang Ye recovered and quickly chased after him.
"Me too!"
Liu Gang immediately chased after him.
Because he was too excited, he directly blurted out his hometown dialect.
Outside.
Ding Xiang's eyes changed obviously when she saw this scene.
