Although it is not easy to build nuclear power, its principle is actually not complicated. After all, there is a genius high school student in beautiful countries who built a nuclear reactor at the age of fourteen.

But that was just an entertainment reactor, which could only undergo nuclear fission, but could not generate electricity.

But the so-called power generation is actually a reactor plus water vapor plus turbine generators.

The difficulty in building nuclear power is that the danger is too high, such as if a nuclear explosion, nuclear leakage, and nuclear radiation, no matter which one, the harm caused is huge.

Especially nuclear radiation, this thing is hard to guard against, and you will be hit if you are not careful. Therefore, before building a nuclear power plant, you must first obtain anti-nuclear radiation suits and anti-nuclear radiation building materials.

However, Su Yu doesn't have to build anti-nuclear radiation suits by himself. He only needs to go to the nuclear power plant in the beautiful country to get it, and he can get as much as he wants.

The radiation barrier plate of a nuclear power plant needs to be built by itself, but as long as you get lead, it is enough. Lead is a material that is very suitable for making nuclear power plant barrier plates.

Of course, it’s not just about lead, but also other materials are needed. It’s just that the amount of lead is a bit large.

When Su Yu listed the materials he needed, the first mate set out again. Three weeks later, he returned from the beautiful country and brought back enough materials.

Subsequently, Su Yu and his team immediately started the construction of a nuclear power plant, first of which was a light water reactor.

Because nuclear fuel has not been used yet, the winged monkeys built according to the design drawings without wearing clothes.

Light water reactors are the main area where nuclear fuel undergoes nuclear fission reactions, so this reactor must be hard enough to withstand high temperatures.

However, even materials that can withstand high temperatures cannot withstand the high temperatures generated by nuclear reactions, so a cooler is needed at this time.

Therefore, after the light water reactor is built, the cooler is also put on the agenda. The commonly used cooling device is a cooling tower, a very huge cooling facility, and the cooling effect is very strong.

But Su Yu couldn't use it, he didn't have the ability to bring a cooling tower to space.

In addition to the cooling tower, there are condensate pumps, cooling fans, etc., but the effect of such coolers is too poor.

The island base is surrounded by oceans, so you can use a condensate pump, but once you go to space, there will be no water or wind.

However, Su Yu proposed a feasible cooling method:

Vacuum cooling.

The universe is vacuum, and the temperature in the places where the sun cannot shine is basically below zero degrees, which is the best way to cool.

The cooling problem is solved, and the next step is the power generation problem. The power generation principle of a nuclear reactor is the same as that of a thermal engine, that is: boiling water.

Yes, the nuclear reaction sounds very high-end, but in fact, it is still boiling water, using nuclear fuel to heat it, and the water is burned into water vapor. The water vapor flows into the "steel blade turbine generator" along the steam pipe. When the turbine rotates, the electricity is emitted.

So Su Yu began to ask the winged monkeys to make turbine generators. Because there may be nuclear radiation in the water vapor, the turbine generators must also be wrapped with radiation-proof materials.

The coolant does not contain nuclear radiation, so the condensate pump will not cause pollution to the ocean.

Su Yu would not do unethical things like a certain country.

The turbine generator was built for three months. After the reactor, cooling pump, and turbine, Su Yu sighed: "The main body of the nuclear reactor has been completed. Next, the construction of a high-voltage transformer will begin."

The electricity emitted by the turbine generator is high voltage, and in order to make it into a voltage of 220V, a transformer is also needed.

In addition, a reactor controller is also needed, which controls the entire process of the nuclear reaction power station.

After all nuclear power plants were built, one and a half years had passed, and in fact they were completed in one year, but another half a year of inspection was conducted for safety period.

After confirming that there was no problem, Su Yu began to manufacture the most important and critical nuclear fuel!

At this time, all the winged monkeys involved in the construction were wearing anti-nuclear radiation suits, including Su Yu.

Although he has surpassed the limits of human beings, he is still afraid of nuclear radiation.

"Nuclear fuel is extremely dangerous. All monkeys must be motivated and must not make mistakes. Once a problem occurs, no matter where the nuclear fuel manufacturing goes, it must stop manufacturing!"

Su Yu attaches great importance to it. Nuclear fuel uses silver, steel and uranium 235. Among them, uranium 235 was originally intended to be separated by a large centrifuge, but there are ready-made nuclear power plants in beautiful countries, so just take them over.

However, uranium 235 is highly radiant, so you must be careful when dealing with it.

Su Yu began to lead the Winghou to make uranium core rods. The light water reactor they made had a total of 64 slots, which could insert 64 uranium core rods. These 64 uranium core rods began to react at the same time and could react for more than 30 years.

The electricity generated can be used by a small city. In other words, sixty-four uranium core rods can make a city use electricity for 30 years.

How terrible is this power generation.

But it is dangerous and extremely dangerous. Once it leaks, the city will be basically finished.

The Chenobel Power Station is an example of this.

Su Yu followed the steps in the plan to make the uranium core rod bit by bit. He didn't dare to be careless at all. Su Yu was so nervous that the other winged monkeys became even more nervous.

Seeing their appearance, Su Yu asked, "Do you know what science is?"

The winged monkeys were shaking their heads, thinking for a while, and then replied: "Science is the truth obtained through careful observation, reasonable assumptions, and rigorous experiments."

Su Yu nodded: "You are right, but science has another meaning."

All the winged monkeys raised their ears, Su Yu continued: "Science is the most fair. No matter who or what race it is, as long as the same experiment is repeated, the same experimental results can be obtained. In the kingdom of science, there is no god, or everyone is a god."

Science has no borders, and no racial boundaries.

All the winged monkeys were stunned, and Su Yu continued: "So, as long as we do it according to scientific methods, there is no need to be afraid, because we will definitely get the same result."

The wheel captain understood and said, "What my god means is that we don't have to be afraid. Just follow the steps to get a safe uranium core rod?"

Yes, the long wheel has a high understanding, Su Yu nodded with satisfaction.

Everyone started making it immediately, they plucked up their courage and made uranium core rods.

Science means being bold and meticulous.

After the uranium core rod was manufactured, Su Yu inserted it into the clean water reactor slot and controlled the reactor console to start it.

Su Yu pressed the button, and all the winged monkeys immediately waited nervously. The next second, as a palpitations fluctuate, the reactor officially began to operate.

Buzz ~

The reactor vibrated, and everyone's hearts were in their throats.

Then, the temperature in the reactor continued to rise, and after reaching 350 degrees Celsius, Su Yu immediately pressed the cooling button, and the coolant flowed over, immediately maintaining the temperature at around 350 degrees.

Then, the water in the reactor began to boil and continued to turn into water vapor and flow into the turbine generator.

"Brush!"

The turbine rotated quickly, and several large batteries in the base immediately showed the words "charging".

Success!

They finally built a nuclear power plant!

Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and he said: "Next, it's time to build a nuclear-powered spacecraft and prepare to fly!"
Chapter completed!
