Chapter 24 Test run of nuclear-powered rocket thrusters

Space technology, spacecraft, rocket development, and time units are calculated over the years! Even products in the test stage will take one or two years to manufacture, not to mention such a nuclear-powered rocket that has never been seen before.

But with Du Xingyu, the progress was pulled very quickly. Those problems that trouble them were often solved in one or two days.

Nowadays, people in the institute look at Du Xingyu as if they look at God, so amazing!

The busy work began again. With the cooperation of other scientific research institutions, the nuclear-powered rocket thruster was successfully manufactured within one month.

In the nuclear protection experiment workshop of the Huaxia Nuclear Power Research Institute, everyone was wearing radiation protection jackets, waiting for the first startup test of the nuclear-powered rocket thruster.

This is the most critical part. Other components, mechanisms and systems have basically been tested successfully. As long as the thruster inspection is completed, the nuclear-powered rocket will be considered to be completed!

"I hope it will succeed in one go." He Jingcheng looked at the huge nuclear-powered rocket thruster and said to himself.

"The probability of success is more than 90%!" said Tang Junwen, who was gray-haired. "Our Nuclear Power Research Institute has repeatedly pondered and demonstrated the power system of this rocket thruster, and the simulation experimental data shows that there is no problem. It even brought a lot of valuable information to our nuclear power research!"

"I also believe it can succeed!" Zhou Zi'ang said, "Xiao Du used 'ammonium' to replace 'uranium' and 'plutonium' atoms as raw materials for nuclear reactors. The critical state of the fission reaction of atoms only needs one percent of uranium and plutonium, and it can continue once the reaction occurs. This will allow the rocket thruster to operate stably for a long time."

"Everyone understands this principle. What's commendable is that he can find a way to control the americ fission reactor."

"I won't say it, it's about to start."

Everyone calmed down and stood outside the protective laboratory, ready to turn on.

"Three, two, one, turn on the controller!" As He Jingcheng issued an order, the controller in the thruster was turned on.

This controller will adjust the specially made atomic reactor and the control rod used to slow down neutrons.

Once the nuclear fission reaction begins, a chain reaction will occur. If you want to control it, you must use a control rod that isolates the reaction. The degree of isolation of the control rod can control the speed of the nuclear fission reaction to achieve the effect of controlling the propeller.

During the test, the entire process is remotely controlled in the protective room, and safety can be guaranteed even if an accident occurs.

"The controller is turned on!"

“The radiation field is increasing…”

Through the electronic screen, everyone could see clearly that the nuclear-powered rocket thruster had begun to operate. The nuclear fission reaction generated a large amount of heat energy, and the efficient heat exchanger converted this heat energy into other energy. For the sake of experiments, the transformation was carried out here, and all the heat energy was converted into mechanical energy, which then drove the generator to operate.

If it is on the Rockets, these heat energy will become the power for the Rockets to take off!

“Data monitoring!”

"The reaction is stable, the radiation field is stable."

"The control system is stable, and the response efficiency is being adjusted. The power is increased by 30%, which is successful; the power is reduced by 50%, which is successful..."

"Gas pollution detection, the gas purification system is normal, no radioactive particles are detected..."
