Super Invincible Battleship

Chapter 271 Extracting Uranium

Yan Fei was worried about the power supply on Wuyin Island, but immediately got a huge surprise from Yang Qi, because Yang Qi actually designed a super nuclear power plant. [WWw.Sui Mеng.lā Once the nuclear power plant is built, it will completely solve the energy problem of Wuyin Island.

Seeing Yan Fei's happy look, Yang Qi continued: "We already have all the technologies required for other aspects of this super nuclear power plant, so it is not without problems at all, but there is one thing, this super nuclear power plant needs a high temperature resistant Material, this kind of high temperature resistant material must be able to resist the high temperature of 6000 degrees Celsius at least.”

Yan Fei was taken aback, the current high temperature resistant materials can only withstand temperatures below 4000 degrees Celsius. Yang Qi actually asked for a material that can withstand a high temperature of 6000 degrees Celsius. Where can he find it? At this time, Yan Fei also understood that Yang Qi didn't know the actual situation at all, and just used his professional knowledge to carry out a design that he thought was the best. In order to achieve the best effect, he even used some materials that had not yet appeared in reality. Used in super nuclear power plant technology.

Yan Fei was about to tell the truth to Yang Qi, when he suddenly remembered the black ball that he collected from the magma lake in the desert on the outskirts of Las Vegas, USA. The black ball is located in the hot magma lake, the temperature of the magma lake is at least between 1000-2000 degrees Celsius, but there is no heat conduction, and Yan Fei doesn't feel the heat at all when standing on it.

So that black ball must have the effect of high temperature resistance, and that black ball is now lying in the universal space. When collecting the black ball, Yan Fei didn't know how big it was. After putting the black ball into the general space, he realized that its volume was beyond his imagination.

The diameter of the black ball reached 20 meters, and it was a standard spherical shape. After Yan Fei's calculations, it was found that its density was very high, reaching a full 100 tons per cubic meter, and the total weight of a black ball reached 140,000 tons. No wonder Yan Fei almost exhausted his energy when he collected it. past.

Then Yan Fei was a little strange. Since the density of this black ball is so high, it has far exceeded the density of any substance on the earth, so how did it float in the magma lake at that time?

Then Yan Fei had more questions. The physical and chemical properties of this black ball are very peculiar. It is not only dense, but also does not conduct heat. It is completely different from other elements on the earth, so it should be a brand new one. unknown element. And it can be seen from the environment at that time that this black ball probably fell into the earth from outer space.

After Yan Fei got the black ball, he only took a preliminary measurement of the data, and hadn't had time to study it thoroughly. Now Yang Qi needs a high temperature resistant material, Yan Fei immediately thought of the elements that make up the black ball. Since the black ball can keep its temperature unchanged in the hot magma, it means that it does not conduct heat, and it is probably a super heat-resistant material.

If you want to study the black ball,

There is no one more suitable than Yang Qi. So Yan Fei immediately operated in the general space, using the small production workshop in the general space to collect the black ball, and then scanned it, and found that the black ball was a solid ball, with all the substances inside and outside. It's the same element, very pure.

Fortunately, the black ball was not hard enough, it was only slightly harder than steel. This is also convenient for Yan Fei to use the small production workshop to scrape off a layer of the substance on the black ball. Then Yan Fei put this little substance in a box, took it out from the general space, and handed it to Yang Qi.

Yan Fei said: "This is a substance I got. It is very dense and does not conduct heat. You can study it carefully to see what it is and whether it can be used in heat-resistant materials. "

Yang Qi took the box and found a little black powder inside the box. The amount of this black powder is very small, but it is very heavy, it seems to be at least five or six kilograms. He immediately became interested. Apart from other things, the astonishing density alone shows that this substance is not simple.

Yang Qi said: "I will conduct detailed research on this black powder, and at the same time verify the technology of the super nuclear power plant."

After finishing speaking, Yang Qi went straight to the laboratory to conduct research on the black powder, and ignored Yan Fei.

———————————————————————————

Two days later, Yan Fei was accompanying Wenrou on the construction site, and the main project of the terminally ill hospital supervised by Wenrou was about to be completed. At this moment, Yang Qi suddenly found Yan Fei under the leadership of the guards, and pulled Yan Fei into his laboratory regardless of the gentleness next to him.

In Yang Qi's laboratory, Yang Qi could not hide his excitement under his calm face, he took out a piece of paper, handed it to Yan Fei, and said, "Yan Fei, this is the attribute of your black powder. I have confirmed that it is definitely not any element that has been discovered on the earth, nor can it be produced in the environment of the earth, so it must come from outer space."

Yan Fei took the paper and found that it was filled with various chemical symbols and numbers. With his previous cultural level, he couldn't understand it at all. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Yang Qi, tell me directly, what is the use of this thing?"

Yang Qi said: "The biggest function of this thing is to use it as a catalyst. As long as a small amount of black powder is added to the item as a catalyst, the performance of this item will be greatly changed and improved. So it has a wide range of uses. I Its use has been deduced in the technology deduction system, and 128,000 uses have been discovered."

"The most important thing is that this black powder itself has ultra-high temperature resistance. With the equipment in our laboratory, it is still impossible to find out how many degrees its melting point is, but it is definitely above 10,000 degrees Celsius. Therefore, the addition of this black powder , can greatly improve the heat resistance of the material. We have done experiments, and after adding a small amount of black powder to the ordinary heat-resistant material, it will be able to resist the high temperature of 6500 degrees Celsius. That is to say, the heat-resistant material I requested before has been found gone."

Yan Fei was taken aback, he didn't expect the elements that make up the black sphere to be so powerful and have so many uses, even the heat-resistant material that caused him a headache was solved. He said: "In this case, wouldn't the super nuclear power plant have no obstacles?"

Yang Qi said: "After the calculation of the technology deduction system, I found that there were some problems in my previous design, so I made some changes to the previous design, and then asked the auxiliary brain to do further deduction, and the result was a The most perfect design solution. The reason why this solution was deduced by the system so quickly is because I added black powder to the material. Later I discovered that there was a big loophole in my previous design, but the black powder After adding it, that loophole was completely plugged."

Only then did Yan Fei feel relieved, but he immediately became worried again and asked, "How much black powder is needed to build a nuclear power plant?"

Although the black ball weighs 140,000 tons, it is the only one found on the earth so far. Once it is used up, it will be gone, so Yan Fei also wants to use it sparingly, so as not to run out so soon, after all, Yang Qi also said that it has a wide range of uses.

Yang Qi has already deduced through the technology deduction system, so he already has relevant data in his heart. He said: "This black powder is actually a brand-new element. It ranks very low on the periodic table and should be produced in the collision of extreme celestial bodies. But its existence is not in the form of compounds, but It is a pure element. Just adding one gram of this element to 100 tons of materials can completely change its physical properties. According to my calculations, 50 kilograms of this element are needed to build a super nuclear power plant."

Upon hearing Yang Qi's words, Yan Fei breathed a sigh of relief, the density of the black powder reached 100 tons/cubic meter. In other words, 50 kilograms is only equal to 05 cubic decimeters. For the total mass of the black balls of 140,000 tons, it is simply insignificant. It is very cost-effective to exchange such a small amount of black powder for a super nuclear power plant.

So Yan Fei said: "No problem, I will take out 50 kilograms of black powder for equipment processing."

Yang Qi said: "This black powder is a brand new element. It is not appropriate to always call it black powder, so you should name it!"

Yang Qi thought for a while and said, "Let's call it black gold! Such a name will not reveal its purpose, and outsiders don't know what it means."

Yang Qi said: "Okay, I'll call it black gold from now on."

Yan Fei said: "Since there is no problem with the design of the super nuclear power plant, can we build a nuclear power plant?"

Yang Qi shook his head and said: "No, there is a lot of preparatory work for the super nuclear power plant. It is not just about designing it before it can be produced. First, you have to determine where the super nuclear power plant will be built, because this super nuclear power plant is clean and safe. So there is no need to build it in an inaccessible place. This is the structural diagram of the nuclear power plant I designed, you can take a look first."

Yan Fei turned on the tablet computer that Yang Qi handed over, and began to look at the design drawings on the tablet computer. Since Yang Qi got the help of the thinking instrument, he can connect to the auxiliary brain, transmit his thoughts and ideas, and then connect the computer terminal in the laboratory through the auxiliary brain to display the thoughts and ideas in his mind. On the computer, other scientific researchers can immediately understand Yang Qi's request and act according to the instructions. With this mode of thought transmission, Yang Qi's work efficiency has been greatly improved.

This nuclear power plant design drawing was also transferred to the tablet computer by Yang Qi through the auxiliary brain. Yang Qi had already marked the structure diagram of the super nuclear power plant. According to the data in the structural diagram, Yan Fei found that the length of the super nuclear power plant reached 600 meters, the width reached 200 meters, and the height reached 50 meters, and then the various components of the super nuclear power plant were installed within this range.

Yan Fei calculated the topography of Wuyin Island in his mind, and there was a place to build a nuclear power plant. He said: "I already have a goal for the location of the nuclear power plant, and I will go to the site with you to investigate."

Yang Qi said: "The second thing to prepare in advance is to find a production plant to produce the equipment I need for the nuclear power plant, and then assemble it at the plant site."

Yan Fei said: "Your equipment is too cutting-edge, and others may not be able to produce it. So you can design a production process and guide others how to produce equipment."

Yang Qi said: "There are already a large number of production processes for industrial products in the technology deduction system, and we already have relevant technologies, so as long as you give me a little time, I can design a complete set of production processes. But The equipment we need for nuclear power plants requires very high production accuracy, and also has special requirements for materials. I don’t think any factory can produce products that meet our requirements.”

Under Yang Qi's completion of the technology tree, some technologies have reached the world's leading level, most of the technologies are also consistent with the world level, and only a few are behind the world's advanced level. Therefore, in terms of technological level alone, Yan Fei's current technological level has surpassed that of the United States. The gap between him and the United States is the production process and production capacity.

The production process needs to be accumulated over time, and the production capacity also needs to be gradually improved, so Yan Fei's strength will not be able to catch up with the United States in a short time. But in terms of producing high-tech products, the United States is no longer Yan Fei's opponent. Because Yan Fei has a small production workshop in hand, as long as he is willing to consume energy points, he can naturally greatly improve the production accuracy, so he can quickly produce some high-tech products that take a long time to produce in other countries. His only concern is that there is no production process.

So Yan Fei said: "Don't worry, as long as you provide me with the production process, I will naturally find a place to help you produce the equipment."

Yang Qi nodded and said, "Give me a few days, and I will definitely give you a complete production process."

Yan Fei solved a difficult problem, and felt a little happy in his heart, and continued to ask: "Is there any other prerequisite work that needs to be prepared?"

Yang Qi said: "What we want to build is a nuclear power plant, so we need uranium as nuclear fuel. Before the nuclear power plant is officially put into operation to generate electricity, we must obtain enough uranium."

Yan Fei said: "Uranium is a strategic substance and is very sensitive. It is indeed difficult to obtain it. Do you have any good suggestions?"

Yang Qi said: "Uranium is widely distributed in nature, not just buried in the ground."

Yan Fei's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Are there other places where uranium can be obtained?"

Yang Qi said: "As far as I know, seawater contains a lot of uranium elements, but they exist in the form of ions, and the content of uranium element ions in seawater is very low. But I have designed a device that can be extracted from seawater. Uranium element equipment, the working principle and design of this equipment have also been verified by the technology deduction system. As long as we have this equipment, we can continuously obtain uranium elements from seawater."

In fact, Yan Fei had already considered the issue of obtaining uranium when he first learned that a super nuclear power plant was going to be built. There are many nuclear power plants in operation on the earth, but the technology of those nuclear power plants is very backward, and the nuclear fuel cannot be completely burned, so a large amount of nuclear waste will be produced. The half-life of these nuclear wastes is very long, and because of the strong radiation, the damage to nature is very great. In order to deal with these nuclear wastes, people bury them underground, or seal them in lead barrels and throw them into deep sea trenches.

So Yan Fei's plan is to use drones to go to the deep sea trenches to collect the discarded nuclear waste and use it for power generation in nuclear power plants. You must know that Yang Qi's super nuclear power plant technology is very advanced, even these nuclear wastes with very low uranium content can be used by nuclear power plants to generate electricity. No matter how bad it is, Yan Fei can also dispatch drones to uranium mines in other countries, sneak into the ground to collect other people's uranium resources, and then use these uranium mines to generate electricity in nuclear power plants.

Yan Fei already had his own plan, but he didn't expect that Yang Qi would give him a huge surprise after asking casually. Yang Qi actually gave Yan Fei the ability to extract uranium from seawater. We must know that the content of uranium in seawater has reached as much as 4 billion tons, which is more than 500 times that of land, which can be said to be inexhaustible and inexhaustible.

With this ability to extract uranium elements, Yan Fei no longer has to worry about the acquisition of uranium elements, and naturally does not want to secretly dig other people's uranium resources or pick up other people's nuclear waste. You must know that uranium resources are very sensitive, and any amount of it is in other people's calculations and statistics. Even those discarded nuclear wastes are also inspected regularly. Cause trouble for Wuyin Island. As for extracting uranium from seawater, no one will notice abnormalities at all, and it is very safe, which is Yan Fei's first choice.

However, Yan Fei was still a little worried. He asked, "What is the technical principle of extracting uranium from seawater?"

Yang Qi explained in detail: "The basic principle of my set of uranium extraction equipment is the superconducting magnetic separation method. Using the superconducting magnetic field of superconducting magnetism and the high gradient of the magnetic medium in the separation chamber, a huge magnetic field is generated, which is beneficial to Adsorb uranium ions within a certain range of seawater, and then react these uranium ions to reduce them to uranium. Because a large amount of electric energy is required to form a superconducting magnetic field, it is necessary to invest a large amount of energy at the beginning Electricity. But as long as our super nuclear power plant is in operation and has the power supply from the nuclear power plant, we no longer have to worry about power shortages.”

"Because it only adsorbs uranium element ions and does not adsorb other elements, what we get after reduction will be uranium elements with a purity between 95 and 98. Uranium elements of this purity can even be used as weapon-grade uranium elements. A The uranium extraction equipment like Taiwan can absorb at least 1 kg of uranium per day, and the complete fission of 1 kg of uranium will generate 2,500 tons of standard coal combustion heat. If it is converted into electrical energy, 1 kg of uranium can generate 20 million yuan Spend."

Yan Fei was really overjoyed this time. If he could get one kilogram of uranium every day, he would be able to generate 20 million degrees of electricity, which is more than twice the daily power generation of thermal power stations and diesel generators on Wuyin Island. And with so much surplus power, Yan Fei can manufacture more uranium element extraction equipment, obtain more uranium elements, and then generate more electricity. You must know that this super nuclear power plant has an annual power generation capacity of 800 billion kWh. In conversion, it can generate 2.2 billion kWh per day and consume up to 110 kg of uranium.

Although electricity is scarce on Wuyin Island, it is impossible to consume so much electricity, so the construction of this super nuclear power plant will not be completed all at once, it will be divided into three phases and completed slowly. However, as long as the first phase of the project is completed, it will be able to meet the electricity demand of Wuyin Island for a long time. After the completion of the first phase of the project, the daily consumption of uranium is about 10-20 kg.

Another thing that makes Yan Fei happy is that he was able to obtain high-concentration uranium elements, which can be used directly as weapons, which means that he can already produce nuclear weapons. He had caused such a big loss to the United States before, so he was always worried that the United States would retaliate against him.

Although the United States does not talk about nuclear threats all day long like Russia, in fact, the United States' nuclear power is the most powerful in the world. The reason why the United States does not clamor for the threat of nuclear weapons is because their conventional force is already able to crush the whole world, and nuclear weapons are not the focus for them. But once they are cornered by Yan Fei, they will definitely use the trump card of nuclear weapons. You must know that Wuyin Island is far away from the land, even if a nuclear explosion occurs here, it will not have a great impact on the land. And to destroy Wuyin Island, only a few nuclear weapons may be enough.

Yan Fei had been cautious before, because he was afraid that the United States would drop a few nuclear weapons on him. But once he also has the ability to manufacture nuclear weapons, he can also carry out nuclear threats to the United States, thereby achieving a terrifying nuclear balance, so that he will naturally not be afraid of the nuclear threat from the United States.

Yan Fei didn't expect that Yang Qi would provide himself with raw materials capable of manufacturing nuclear weapons just to obtain uranium in seawater, offsetting the nuclear threat of the United States. .

This also shows a problem, that is, although the IQ of scientists is very high, their EQ is very low. For the convenience of their own research, they often produce something with destructive abilities. Then these things were found to be used for other purposes, posing a huge threat to the world. Therefore, the research work of scientists must be carried out within the allowed range. Once it gets out of control, it may be the moment of human disaster.

Yang Qi didn't know the shock that his uranium extraction equipment brought to Yan Fei. He continued: "The manufacture of uranium extraction equipment also requires the addition of black gold and extremely high precision manufacturing capabilities, but it is more powerful than the super nuclear power plant. The production process requirements are slightly lower. I can sort out their production process, and you can find someone to produce it."

Yan Fei said: "Okay, I'll wait for your production process."
