Chapter 1037 Nantianmen Plan
Many old men who came to the East have become the top leaders of the project, and their subordinates have even set up design bureaus, but Krasnopolski did not. He was more like a soy sauce maker.
After all, the Mingzhou Group cannot build a nuclear reactor alone. It must have the cooperation of many domestic units. The Mingzhou Group cannot build a nuclear reactor on its own. They only play a role in promoting it. Just a function.
Krasnopolski often travels around the country, giving lectures at universities, and conducting joint research with relevant domestic institutions. When he needs funds, he draws Mingzhou Group over to provide money, and various products are also sold by Mingzhou Group. Production.
There are many projects now, but Krasnopolski is still an independent individual.
Therefore, it is best for him to come forward, register a company in a third country, and then use the name of this company to cooperate with the football country, so that it has nothing to do with the East.
This is somewhat similar to Dr. Bull. This artillery genius left the United States and Canada because he was squeezed out. However, he could still register a company in a third country and sell weapons and technology. If not for being on the pirate ship of Silly Damu, now He should still be alive and well.
Krasnopolski provides technical guidance on nuclear reactors to football countries without offending the terrible Mossad. At most, he will just cry and protest in Congress. As for the United States? Americans should not care. Nuclear submarine technology is very complex and cannot be built by anyone who wants to.
Krasnopolski can earn technical consulting fees. At the same time, some companies can also secretly sell parts to make money. There are huge profits. The money earned from selling one set can be used to build three or four sets for the country!
On the one hand, it can make money domestically, and on the other hand, it can prevent the French from making money. At the same time, the relationship between the football country and itself will be closer, which is equivalent to having one more ally. The interest relationship here cannot be explained simply. But it's definitely a good deal.
Qin Tao quickly made up his mind on all of this.
Wu Shengli listened on the sidelines and did not continue to refute. As long as it did not affect the country, it would be up to Qin Tao. The navy had taken so many benefits from the Mingzhou Group, and it had to give the Mingzhou Group a chance to make money. .
"Mr. Qin, don't worry if I go out, you won't be afraid that I won't come back?" Krasnopolski said.
"You won't. After all, only we have enough financial resources to support you nuclear physics experts in developing controllable nuclear fusion." Qin Tao said, "You just go out to make some extra money. This is your root. At the same time, , we will protect your safety."
Not coming back and not coming back have two different meanings. Qin Tao is worried about the latter.
Hearing Qin Tao talk about controllable nuclear fusion, Krasnopolski's eyes suddenly lit up: "Mr. Qin, do you support us in this kind of money-burning project?"
"Why don't you support it? We, Mingzhou Group, have a lot of money, so we have to invest in research and development, so that we can have a virtuous cycle. If we make a breakthrough in this technology, then we can benefit the entire human society." Qin Tao said: "We don't go international. For the cooperative route, we will do our own thing.”
Before World War II, scientists discovered various unique features of the atomic nucleus, which opened a new door. During World War II, a large amount of resources were invested, finally pushing the field of atomic nuclei from theoretical research to practical applications. The explosion of the atomic bomb , nuclear reactor operation, these are applications of nuclear fission.
Heavy atomic nuclei, which are the nuclei at the bottom of the periodic table of elements, can fission into medium-mass nuclei. In this process, a loss of static mass occurs. According to Einstein's mass-energy conversion equation, this means that energy is required release.
If all the energy is released at once, this is nuclear fission. This process is uncontrollable. If cadmium rods are used to absorb neutrons during the nuclear fission process, making the entire process controllable, nuclear energy can be released smoothly. of nuclear reactors.
These technologies have already been mastered by the human world.
In addition to the fission of heavy nuclei into medium-sized nuclei, there is another way, which is for light nuclei to come together. Two hydrogen nuclei combine to form a helium nucleus. In this process, there will also be a loss of static mass, that is The release of energy.
However, this process is uncontrollable.
The biggest problem is of course how to combine two hydrogen nuclei into one.
Fission can be directly bombarded with neutrons. Most of the atomic nuclei are broken into two, three are rare, and four are even rarer. However, it is not easy to force two atomic nuclei together. After all, they are strong. The twisted melon is not sweet.
The nuclei of atoms are positively charged and repel each other. It is like bringing two people of the same **** together. One of them must be bent.
How does a hydrogen bomb detonate? The answer is to use an atomic bomb as a primer. The atomic bomb explodes, producing a high temperature of hundreds of thousands of degrees. The higher the temperature, the more intense the thermal motion. The hydrogen atoms are moving fiercely, colliding with each other, overcoming the repulsive force, and colliding together. , combine to form new atomic nuclei, emit energy, push up the temperature, and other atomic nuclei come together faster and more violently.
The whole process is absolutely unreliable. Once detonated, a fiery thermonuclear reaction will follow. In a short period of time, all the nuclei will be brought together, and the temperature will rise to hundreds of millions of degrees.
Since the hydrogen bomb was detonated, nuclear fusion has not been released smoothly until now, but scientists have been working tirelessly to try to build a nuclear fusion reactor.
Compared with current nuclear fission, what are the advantages of fusion reactors?
Nuclear fusion uses hydrogen isotopes. This element exists in large amounts in seawater and is inexhaustible. Current nuclear fission still requires searching for ores all over the world.
The reaction of nuclear fusion requires conditions and needs to be brought together. Once a fault is discovered and the reaction conditions cannot be met, it will not be able to continue. In professional terms, it will automatically shut down once it gets out of control. However, if the current nuclear fission reactor loses control, it will , the consequences will be disastrous.
There are a lot of benefits, but how nuclear fusion occurs is a big problem, and it is difficult to find a container to place it. Once nuclear fusion occurs, the temperature will reach millions or even hundreds of millions of degrees, no matter what kind of high temperature resistant material it is. The materials have to be melted. How to restrain this nuclear fusion reaction?
Lao Maozi’s research was the earliest. In 1954, Lao Maozi’s Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy built the world’s first tokamak device.
This device uses magnetic confinement to establish a ring-shaped magnetic field inside the structure, introduce the raw materials for nuclear fusion into the ring-shaped structure, and then find a way to increase its temperature to reach fusion conditions.
Lao Maozi has been tinkering with it for many years. It was only in the 1970s that energy output began to be produced. Countries also began to tinker with this equipment, and Dongfang was no exception. In the 1970s, a similar experimental device was built called Gyre Current No. 1.
But these are all experimental devices, there are many problems that need to be solved, and the scale is very small, just like a laboratory.
By 1985, scientists from various countries felt that there was no hope of working alone and had to work together. They proposed the international cooperation project ITER, which is the abbreviation of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor. The goal was quite high and the plan was to achieve it. 1500 MW power output. Several times that of a nuclear fission reactor.
However, the three monks had no water to drink. Cooperation is always associated with wrangling. The wrangling started in 1985, and now they are still arguing over the sharing of funds. Everyone wants to contribute less. , everyone wants to acquire more technology. It was not until 2005 that this plan was officially established, and the location was also located in France.
However, as a result, by 2020, before Qin Tao was reborn, he had not seen the commercial use of nuclear fusion reactors.
Now, Mingzhou Group has plenty of money, so of course it can use the money to do it on its own.
With this project, would Krasnopolski be willing to leave the East and give up on working abroad?
Of course it’s impossible! Leaving the East, no organization can make such bold claims: to fund the development of nuclear fusion reactors on its own!
At this time, when he heard Qin Tao say that he wanted to develop this kind of nuclear reactor on his own, Krasnopolski was full of excitement: "Mr. Qin, do we really want to do it ourselves?"
“International cooperation has no future. Our Mingzhou Group has made a lot of money. Of course, we must use this money in appropriate places. It is our duty to improve our scientific and technological strength and benefit mankind.”
"Okay, Mr. Qin, all the money I earned as a consultant will be invested in our project!" Krasnopolski said excitedly: "We must build an advanced nuclear fusion reactor! I In this lifetime, I will be satisfied if I build a nuclear fusion reactor again!"
“Dad, there are many things you haven’t heard of. Our Mingzhou Group must have its own business secrets.”
Wu Shengli smiled: "You just said this plan casually, right?"
“Dad, it’s very bad of you to do this. You can’t hit someone in the face without slapping them in the face. You can’t tear others down in front of them.”
Qin Tao did say it casually just now, but by the end of it, he had already intended to turn this idea into reality.
Mingzhou Group has made money, a lot of money. Last time it received so much gold alone. What will it do with the money next?
Invest in scientific and technological research and development to achieve rapid progress in your own scientific and technological strength!
Even if it cannot be realized, after the huge plan is launched, others will have to keep up, which may waste their national power.
"The biggest feature of our scientific research is saving money. We have our own advantages." Qin Tao said: "Others want to keep up, so they have to spend ten times or even a hundred times the money. Many technical data are too high , we still can’t let them realize it.”
Since we have an aircraft carrier, the British are anxious and want to build an aircraft carrier. What is the result? The two Queen-class aircraft carriers sound awesome, but they consume a lot of their national power. When the aircraft carriers are available, carrier-based aircraft cannot be afforded, and they eventually become a joke.
Our own side is making a fuss about the diving depth of nuclear submarines, and the Americans' technology cannot reach it, so they can only falsify data. These things all illustrate the superiority of the East. Now, the Navy of the East has already deployed troops, relying on its low-cost advantage. , the batch construction of all Aegis battleships is absolutely difficult for other countries to match.
Now, let’s just start a new scientific research project, let them waste national power in research and development, or even drag them down!
How was Lao Maozi deceived back then? How is the West being deceived now?
Thinking of this, Qin Tao couldn't wait and said to Xu Zhengyang beside him: "Find Zhang Zhong, let's discuss it carefully and determine a large-scale high-tech development plan. This plan is called..."
Qin Tao paused, and then said: "Nantianmen plan!"
"Let's go to the capital. This plan will be discussed in our Huanglou, and our navy will also listen." Wu Shengli said: "I should go back soon, and you should go back with me."
"good."
In the capital, Zhang Zhong got a call from Mingzhou Group. He was very excited. He couldn't even wait to go to Huanglou and ran directly to the airport to greet him. However, he didn't expect that he ran to the wrong place. Qin Tao and others landed at a military airport. So he rushed to Huanglou without stopping.
Huanglou was abuzz with excitement. When everyone heard that Mr. Qin was planning to carry out the Nantianmen project, they were all very excited and started discussing it before Zhang Zhong came over.
“Mr. Qin, you launched the Baidi Space Plane a few years ago. Is it just for this plan?”
“Yes, we didn’t think about it at the beginning, but now we finally understand. President Qin started laying the groundwork a few years ago.”
“How can this nuclear fusion reactor be used in these projects?”
Nuclear power can be used on warships, but it cannot be used on aircraft. The reason is very simple. Nuclear power is eventually converted into electrical energy. How does electrical energy be converted into the thrust of a jet engine? Use a high-speed motor to drive a turbofan?
These are all new fields that require a series of scientific research, and are definitely not just a breakthrough in one technology.
What everyone is most concerned about is of course the nuclear fusion reactor.
After hearing what everyone said, Qin Tao said: "Of course the reactor is used on the aircraft carrier. The power of the nuclear fusion reactor is higher. According to the international plan, the first nuclear fusion reactor is 1500 megawatts. To be on the safe side, we usually Two nuclear reactors are used on the aircraft carrier, so the power is three thousand megawatts."
“With such power, wouldn’t the aircraft carrier have to fly into the sky?” one person said.
"Yes, our aircraft carrier is going to the sky. The core of our Nantianmen plan is the air and space aircraft carrier." Qin Tao said: "We call this core platform the Luanniao air and space aircraft platform."
At this time, Zhang Zhong was walking in from the outside. When he heard Qin Tao talking about the aerospace aircraft carrier and the Luanniao aerospace aircraft platform, he immediately became excited.
This is definitely the latest killer weapon of our Strategic Deception Bureau. If this thing is announced, it will not attract the attention of the world!
“Mr. Qin, what you said is very good. We should have had an aerospace aircraft carrier a long time ago. Do we have the design drawings?”
Qin Tao shook his head: "Not yet. Can you design it for us?"
"Although it is called an aerospace aircraft carrier, its appearance must not be the same as an aircraft carrier. An aircraft carrier cannot fly. It must still be similar to an airplane. Such a large aircraft must have a wingspan of at least six hundred meters and a captain of two or three. 100 meters, we don’t need any angled deck. Our aircraft is wide enough. We can design three noses in the front and have three catapult runways. And because the aerospace aircraft has its own speed, the runway is 50 meters long. The length is enough, leaving about 200 meters as the landing area. Also because of the speed, it can be landed directly without the need for blocking ropes."
Zhang Zhong said while drawing on it, and the design was quickly completed.
"I think such a big thing has a take-off weight of about 100,000 tons and a load capacity of 50,000 tons. It can feed and drink for thousands of people and carry hundreds of aircraft, which is similar to our current aircraft carriers. .”
The guys looked at this big guy with three noses and two big wings, and they all showed surprise in curiosity: "Boss, do you think this thing can fly?"
At present, the largest aircraft in the world is the An-225. The maximum take-off weight of this aircraft has reached 640 tons, which is already an amazing achievement. However, there is still a big gap between this and 100,000 tons.
Even if there is a nuclear fusion reactor, it cannot support an aerospace aircraft of this level.
“There are two ways.” Zhang Zhong said: “First, our ground-effect aircraft technology has been developed. This kind of aerospace aircraft carrier can use the ground-effect aircraft solution, which is to add a lift-increasing engine at the front.”
Speaking of the largest aircraft, it is easy to think of the An-225. In fact, the take-off weight of the Caspian Monster is about 500 tons. Moreover, the Caspian Monster is easier to develop. Thousands of tons are not a problem. One hundred thousand Tons are also possible.
At the beginning, Qin Tao gave some random instructions and also proposed to use a gas turbine to generate electricity and then use a motor to drive a fan to create an increase-lift engine. This kind of thing can be used in today's big guys, and it has been successfully used in ground-effect aircraft. Experience makes it easier to gain the trust of others.
Aerospace aircraft carrier, 100,000 tons? What the hell? boast!
What? Is it a ground effect aircraft? The Oriental people have been working on it for many years, but I didn’t expect that they actually succeeded!
“The second type is a lift fan, similar to the one we used for the J-6 vertical take-off and landing aircraft back then.”
There was a time when vertical take-off and landing aircraft were popular in the world, and Dongfang also conducted research. However, the engine reserves were insufficient, so they simply used simple lift fans. They were hung on the front and rear of the fuselage during takeoff. Four large fans were enough to lift the aircraft. The plane plucks onions on dry ground, then waits until it takes off and blows it up!
Qin Tao glanced at Zhang Zhong with satisfaction and asked Zhang Zhong to come over for this purpose. He only mentioned his ideas, and Zhang Zhong could help him realize his ideas!
Just like now. He just proposed a 100,000-ton aerospace aircraft carrier without going into details. Zhang Zhong was able to complete the details, making everything look real and possible.
