Jiang Yu saw that many male researchers looked bad, so he nodded with satisfaction.

Sure enough, with the "big killing weapon" of Sixteen, you can only feel at ease after a walk.

Otherwise, there would be fewer women in such units, and even fewer beauties like Yang Dong would be. It would be dangerous not to declare sovereignty.

The leader in the base was stunned for a second or two before he realized that Yang Dong and Jiang Yu, the wall-faced man, had this relationship.

But Yang Dong’s file clearly states that it is unmarried?

The leaders then sighed in their hearts: Young people nowadays are really good at playing, and their children are so old that they don’t get married!

Yang Dong smiled and asked Sixteen: "Who taught you how to say this?"

Sixteen glanced at Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu coughed twice, turned around and looked elsewhere.

Yang Dong touched Shiliu's head and did not explain anything. Many male researchers sank in their hearts, which is equivalent to acquiescence!

The welcome ceremony continued, and the leaders at the base gave a few simple welcome words, and Jiang Yu also gave a brief speech to express his gratitude.

Then we visited the base. The base leader originally planned to follow Jiang Yu throughout the journey, but after knowing that the wall-faced person and Yang Dong were "couples", he would not be surprised if he followed behind.

So there were only three people in the visiting team, Jiang Yu, Yang Dong and sixteen.

After everyone left, Yang Dong asked Sixteen: "Why did you follow him so much?"

Sixteen chuckled: "He said he wanted to be my mother, I think you are quite suitable."

Moreover, Jiang Yu agreed that he would take Sixteen for the whole trip to the northwest for sand washing.

Yang Dong glanced at Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu scratched his head: "Sorry, I'm a little selfish about this matter, because the special person facing the wall will easily put you in danger.

"But, I'm not in a hurry to express my opinion, and I'm afraid I'll have to eat your wedding candy from others in the future."

Yang Dong thought about it and said, "It's good to do this, so that some people will always follow me like flies. Moreover, my job is quite dangerous!"

Then she led the way: "Come here, I'll take you to see Qimingxing No. 3 first."

Jiang Yu clapped his hands and almost cried with joy: She actually understood! She actually understood what I wanted to express!

Sixteen pulled Jiang Yu's neck of the clothes, and Jiang Yu came to his senses and hurriedly followed.

Qimingxing III is a nuclear fission power station upgrade project led by Yang Dong. According to Yang Dong, this project has two directions, one is a lead-based reactor and the other is a thorium-based reactor.

The biggest problem of nuclear fission power plants is the problem of nuclear waste. This thing will still be radiation for tens of thousands of years. If left unchecked, it will penetrate into the groundwater system and cause immeasurable nuclear pollution.

The cost of disposing of nuclear waste is often a large cost of nuclear power generation.

Some countries spend a lot of money to store them in special containers. It is said that those containers can be kept for 20,000 years without damage.

Some countries are unwilling to spend this money, so they simply find a place to bury it, and they don’t care whether it will pollute their own land.

Some countries have the most inexpensive wastewater that has been exposed to nuclear pollution into the sea.

During the space race in the last century, people found the optimal solution to deal with nuclear waste: a region was drawn on the moon to specifically store nuclear waste.

However, the cost of launching nuclear waste from Earth to space is also very high.

Especially after the space race, the rocket production lines of the two major powers related to the moon landing were suspended one after another, and it would be even more difficult to implement this plan.

The improved lead-based reactor led by Yang Dong uses lead elements to allow nuclear waste to continue to exert waste heat, and ultimately reduces nuclear waste emissions by 99%.

The initial main fuel of this reactor is still uranium, but the use of lead elements to cause the waste generated by the main fuel to react for the second, three, or even more times, thereby maximizing the residual energy of the nuclear waste.

The idea of ​​a thorium-based reactor was found in the 1960s.

The advantage of thorium-based reactors is that the main fuel is a relatively easy-to-get thorium element, and the nuclear waste generated is one thousandth of that of traditional nuclear power plants.

However, because uranium 235 can build atomic bombs, countries that mastered nuclear power plant technology at that time did not pay attention to this concept.

Until the United States began to manipulate oil prices arbitrarily, new energy became a topic that latecomer countries must overcome.

Yang Dong's achievements so quickly are inseparable from China's focus on the development of nuclear energy at the beginning of this century.

She introduced: "The thorium element that my country has proven at present is enough for us to use for 20,000 years!

"What a pity! In another four hundred years, this land may change hands, and these resources will also become resources of others."

As she spoke, she took Jiang Yu and others into a closed door.

Jiang Yu comforted: "Don't be so pessimistic. Even if this land will change hands tomorrow, we will live a good life today."

Jiang Yu and Shiliu also followed in the door. They first saw a three-story, water tower-like device, which was the Qimingxing-1's reactor prototype.

There are several staff members wearing protective clothing who seem to be doing maintenance and other work in front of the instruments on the top of the tower or under the tower.

Yang Dong introduced to them that the protruding ring tower top is the emergency cooling system of the entire facility, and the reactor is built in the middle of the "water tower".

Underground is an emergency shutdown system. If a nuclear leak occurs, the nuclear fuel that has just finished the reaction will flow into a container made of special materials underground.

Now this prototype is undergoing final regulation. When it starts to operate officially, it will release a large amount of heat and then introduce the heat into the steam generator.

The subsequent work is like a thermal power plant, converting thermal energy into mechanical energy and then into electrical energy.

Generally, nuclear power plants will build many such "water towers" side by side, and then put a "big lid" to prevent nuclear leakage outside.

Sixteen questions asked: "A more environmentally friendly controlled nuclear fusion project is already working hard to develop. Why should we upgrade nuclear fission power plants?"

Yang Dong introduced: "Because the technology of controlled nuclear fusion has made a breakthrough, it will be preferred to use it in space.

"The fuel for nuclear fusion is easy to obtain and is a very cheap energy source, but building a new nuclear power plant will always take time and cost.

"Relevant departments have made plans that the public may not be able to use the electricity emitted by nuclear fusion reactions in thirty to forty years.

"This is an energy upgrade. It does not mean that the upgrade can be completed by breaking through a certain key technology, but requires a series of arrangements and regulation.

"Before this, nuclear fission power stations must use their remaining energy."

Sixteen nodded to show that he understood.

Then Yang Dong took them to visit the "Artificial Sun" plan. While walking there, Yang Dong said: "The 'Artificial Sun' plan has been around since the last century.

"It was just a series of international turmoil at the end of the last century that kept the plan from progressing.
Chapter completed!
