After the demonstration reactor project was approved, Lv Yongchang, the chief engineer, once again felt the long-lost sense of busyness.
The first problem that needs to be solved is the site selection for the demonstration reactor.
Like nuclear fission reactors, the construction environment of nuclear fusion reactors also needs to be carefully considered.
The first point is also the most important one.
There should be plenty of water nearby.
Whether it is fresh water or sea water.
After all, a nuclear fusion reactor generates a lot of heat during the power generation process. Currently, the most economical and practical way is to cool it through nearby water resources.
Second, the terrain is flat.
Nuclear fusion reactors require the construction of a large number of supporting facilities!
It's impossible that all these supporting facilities are built in the mountains, right?
The third point is also the most troublesome point in the site selection process.
The geological conditions are stable!
Nuclear fusion reactors are not as dangerous as nuclear fission reactors, but because they are deuterium-tritium fusion reactors, there will still be a small amount of radiation hazard if a leak occurs.
Considering safety factors, controlled nuclear fusion reactors are best built in places with stable geological conditions.
In other words, nuclear fusion reactors must never be built near earthquake zones!
After repeated screening, Lu Yongchang set his sights on a precious piece of land.
Canghai Bay!
The original reason why a nuclear fission power plant was not built in Canghai Bay was mainly due to the geographical location of Canghai Bay.
Once an accident occurs in the nuclear fission power plant in Canghai Bay, nuclear radioactive wastewater will accumulate in Canghai Bay for a long time!
This will bring huge security risks to Xia State!
But nuclear fusion power plants basically do not have this risk.
If an accident occurs, the magnetic confinement device of the stellarator will stop working and the nuclear fusion reaction inside will also stop quickly.
As for the radioactive hazards...
This is the biggest difference between nuclear fusion and nuclear fission!
Nuclear fission, whether it is the raw material or the fission product, has extremely strong radioactivity.
Even nuclear waste water contains a large amount of radioactive substances.
But nuclear fusion is different.
Even though the fusion method currently used is deuterium-tritium fusion, only tritium atoms in the fusion materials and fusion products contain a small amount of radioactivity.
This is totally controllable!
What's more... in Lu Yongchang's plan, deuterium-tritium fusion is only temporary. The ultimate goal is still helium-tri-fusion, which is known as clean energy!
…
As the site for the reactor was selected, the specific construction plan for the controlled nuclear fusion demonstration reactor was also released.
"Construction Plan for Controlled Nuclear Fusion Demonstration Reactor"
A document quietly went online.
The biggest highlight in the document is the total working hours required for this construction plan.
Three months!
From site selection to pile construction, everything, according to Xia Guo's plan, would only take three months!
When this document was dug out by someone with ulterior motives, the entire Xia country was in an uproar!
On Weibo's hot search list, Wang Feng, who was about to hold 16 consecutive concerts, was pushed down before he could even sit firmly at the top of the hot search list.
"Total working hours: three months!"
"The infrastructure maniac is back!"
"Xiaguo Speed!"
This series of hot searches not only shocked Wang Feng, but also shocked the netizens who were immersed in watching melons on Weibo!
"Ah? Three months? Is that wrong? It takes three months to lay the foundation for my house!"
"(Manual sideways smile), the person above, do you think the country would make a mistake on such an important document?"
"Hahaha! It's obvious from the above that they don't know what Xiaguo is known for internationally! Do you know what a infrastructure maniac is? JPG!"
"US: Don't believe in rumors, don't spread rumors..."
Thanks to some enthusiastic netizens who shared the post, a few hours later, a huge wave of controversy also arose on Twitter!
"WTF??? Three months?"
"Jesus! Xiaguo is too crazy!"
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"Can such a large project be completed in three months? In our country, three months is not enough time for workers to mix cement!"
It's obvious that this comment was posted by a netizen from Western Europe who was looking for trouble.
After all, compared to Western Europe where it takes ten years to build a road, China's infrastructure construction speed is no different from a myth!
Naturally, these comments on Twitter were moved back to Xia Guo Weibo intactly.
For a moment, the scarf was filled with laughter.
Of course, when countless people of Xia were shocked and cheering, there were always some 500,000 walking people who wanted to find fault.
"Impossible! I don't believe it!"
"Seeing is believing, hearing is not. Doesn't it mean that what is written in the document is true?"
"After the three-month deadline, they just took a random photo to fool netizens, and then slowly built it. This kind of thing is not uncommon!"
"…"
I have to say, this year's official account is really awesome!
In order to respond to the questions raised by these netizens, the official account of Xiaguo News posted a Weibo message on the same day.
"Starting tomorrow, the official TikTok account of Xiaguo News will open the live broadcast function."
"The construction site of the Canghai Bay controlled nuclear fusion demonstration reactor will be broadcast live in the live broadcast room!"
"Welcome all netizens to supervise."
Once the Weibo post was released, the number of comments exploded!
"Six, six, six!"
"The authorities can deal with this, but he really fights against the haters!"
"I'll stop talking, everyone. I'm going to set the alarm for tomorrow. At the very least, I have to go to the carnival to celebrate!"
"Fuck, boss six six six!"
"Big brother v me fifty, I haven't eaten for three days!"
…
The next morning at 8 o'clock sharp.
Countless netizens gathered in the official Douyin live broadcast room of Xiaguo News.
Above the dark screen, comments flashed by rapidly.
"Where are you? Open the door! You are capable of live streaming, but you can't open the door?!"
"It's eight o'clock! Open the door!"
The next moment, the pitch-black screen suddenly lit up!
When the brightness of the camera lens gradually returned to balance, the scene at the Canghai Bay fusion reactor construction site suddenly came into view!
Thousands of excavators are neatly lined up on the left side of the camera!
On the right side of the camera, there are thousands of construction vehicles responsible for various construction work!
In the center of the camera are several huge ramming machines!
After a brief gap, the number of barrages in the live broadcast room increased exponentially!
"What the hell! What the hell! What the hell!"
"Is this the Great Power Heavy Industry? Love it!"
The next moment, a voice-over appeared, a slightly sweet female voice.
"Hello, everyone. This is the construction site of the Canghai Bay fusion demonstration reactor."
"Today is the first day of construction, and what is in front of you is the first construction team."
"In order to ensure the speed of construction, there are a total of three construction teams in this demonstration reactor construction mission."
"In the next three months, three construction teams will take turns to build the Canghai Bay fusion demonstration reactor 24 hours a day!"
As the voice fell, the number of barrages in the live broadcast room increased again!
"Three construction teams!"
"Sister, please show your face! Don't just talk!"
"…"
Under the "supervision" of a group of netizens, the ramming machine of the fusion demonstration reactor project struck the first blow!
