On the premise of solving the problem of stability, increasing the number of neutrons can increase the speed of nuclear waste decay and stabilize the conversion speed of electrical energy.
This was Xu Chuan's unexpected inspiration from a "deteriorated" basketball game.
The advantage of this is that the energy level requirements of the linear particle accelerator can be reduced. As for how much it can be reduced, specific experiments are needed.
After all, it is indeed extremely difficult to take into account the energy level and stability of a linear particle accelerator at the same time.
This is also the reason why particle accelerators are getting bigger and bigger.
For example, the Large Strong Particle Collider LHC has a total length of an astonishing 27 kilometers, and the linear particle accelerator at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center in the United States has a length of 3.2 kilometers.
Not only because accelerating a particle to a speed closer to the speed of light requires more energy and a longer pipe, but it also has a relationship with stability and controllability.
It is impossible for Xu Chuan to build a large strong particle collider for the "Nuclear Energy Beta Radiation Energy Concentration and Conversion into Electric Energy Mechanism" project.
That would not only consume time but also money, and the existing linear particle accelerator became his only option.
Of course, he could also choose not to use a linear particle accelerator to catalyze the decay of nuclear waste, but relying solely on radiation gap materials to convert radiated electrical energy has various shortcomings.
Such as low conversion efficiency, low power generation, occupying the site for too long, unstable conversion, etc.
The linear particle accelerator plays a catalytic stabilizing role in the middle.
The nuclear waste that originally took hundreds of thousands of years to complete the solar transformation can be shortened to 20 to 30 years to consume most of the radiation in it.
...
Quickly rushing back to the office, Xu Chuan opened the engineering design drawings, started to sort out his ideas again, and revised the drawings.
He is not a professional engineer and cannot modify the design drawings according to standards.
But he has also presided over many large-scale projects in the past, especially in the field of high-energy physics, and he is very clear about the structure of particle collider.
Professional matters are left to professionals. Xu Chuan does not require himself to modify the engineering drawings perfectly. He only needs to have clear standards on how to modify and what requirements need to be met.
As for how to modify it, what materials need to be used, and how to construct it, those are things that engineers need to consider.
After struggling for several hours, several modified and unrecognizable design drawings reappeared on the computer.
Looking at the redesigned drawings on the display screen, Xu Chuan carefully checked it and nodded with satisfaction.
This modification mainly focuses on the spiral acceleration chamber nodes and main ring ducts of the large separation fan cyclotron.
The former improves the stability of the particle beam by adding an smi to control the wake field.
For the latter, add a medium proton additive.
Through the impact of particle beams, more microscopic particles are produced to achieve the ability to efficiently initiate the solarization of nuclear waste.
The process is somewhat similar to the chain reaction of nuclear fission. A neutron bombards a nucleus, and then creates more neutrons to bombard more nuclei. Once started, it is endless.
However, the conversion of nuclear radiation into electrical energy is different. It requires a linear particle accelerator to continuously replenish the first neutron.
After all, the nuclear waste itself is waste that has fissioned most of the uranium-235 inside the nuclear fuel. Without supplementing the chain neutrons, the chain reaction cannot be started quickly.
.......
With the redesigned drawings in hand, Xu Chuan sent a message and convened a meeting with executives and researchers from the nuclear industrial park.
Theoretically, the new solution he constructed should meet the requirements, but you have to listen to other people's opinions, right?
What's more, he is not a real expert in the field of nuclear fission, although he had an in-depth understanding of nuclear waste, nuclear fuel and other things when he studied the technology of "nuclear energy beta radiation energy accumulation and conversion into electrical energy" technology.
But compared with those experts who have studied deeply and specialized in this field, there is still a big gap.
In the office of the research institute, after receiving the news from Xu Chuan, Han Jin and Qi Zhongxing immediately put down their work and contacted other staff who were qualified to participate in the meeting and rushed over.
"This is a patch idea I made to address the linear particle accelerator's insufficient stability and energy level. You can take a look at it first and share any good suggestions."
In the conference room, Xu Chuan asked the staff to distribute the printed revised design drawings and other materials.
After hearing about the solution to the linear particle accelerator's insufficient stability and energy level, everyone in the conference room was curious and quickly picked up the information and started reading it.
The stability and insufficient energy levels of linear particle accelerators are issues they have been studying recently.
For nuclear waste power plants, the current impact of this problem is indeed very serious, but if a solution can be thought of, it may be able to leave a strong memory in front of the young chief engineer in front of him.
As far as the domestic situation is concerned, the unique status of the Nobel Prize and the Philippine Prize has made this person a new independent scholar.
If you can gain his favor, it will be a huge profit!
Unfortunately, however, the problems of linear particle accelerator stability and insufficient energy levels are not so easy to solve.
There are ways to take both energy level and stability into consideration, but it is too difficult to modify a linear particle accelerator with a fixed foundation and time constraints.
"This alternative solution of increasing the energy level from the perspective of increasing the number of neutrons is simply brilliant! Why didn't I think of it!"
"If you could have imagined, you wouldn't be sitting here today, you would be sitting in the conference room."
"As expected of Sichuan God, Sichuan God solved the problem that we had not answered for more than half a month in less than a week."
"Replacing energy levels with quantities is almost impossible in ordinary accelerators. However, ours does not actually pursue energy levels. Maybe this method really works!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "That's right, after all, Sichuan God is the winner of both the Nobel Prize and the Philippine Prize! He will definitely be included in this year's academician selection!"
"A twenty-two-year-old academician, huh... this is breaking history."
"..."
Although there were many boasters and praises, everyone still agreed with Xu Chuan's new approach.
In theory, this is indeed a feasible approach.
Of course, the actual effect will still need to be tested in practice.
...
In the conference room, everyone stopped after flattering and began to seriously discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this plan and the areas for improvement.
After all, they are all professionals, and they may not know where to start without a suitable solution, but it can still be done by selecting areas that can be optimized from a set of solutions and making suggestions.
After all, innovation is the hardest part.
Xu Chuan also gained a lot from the meeting, such as the adjustment plan for the SMI control paddock, such as the turbulence control of the spiral acceleration pipeline, etc.
These things are still useful to him, because not only this project, but also the domestic large strong particle collider will be built in the future, and these things may optimize the performance of the collider to a certain extent.
After communication, the group finally determined the most reasonable plan.
The stability of the particle beam is improved by controlling the tail field through the built-in SMI, and the quantity is increased by the lead plate to achieve the desired effect.
Coincidentally, the ion linear particle accelerator ordered in the past two days has been delivered via a special vehicle. The installation and debugging has not yet started. It can be modified before processing.
In the industrial park, a huge fleet of vehicles is parked on the side of the road, waiting for the delivery vehicle in front to complete unloading.
The total length of this linear particle machine reaches nearly 800 meters, so it is naturally impossible to transport such a huge equipment in its entirety.
However, with the support of the state, using special cargo transport vehicles to transport it does not mean dismantling it into parts for transportation.
Regardless of length, the linear accelerator is actually not very large, and those transport vehicles can transport the disassembled linear particle accelerator section by section.
The only thing that needs to be noted is that the accelerator is relatively sensitive and needs to be protected with top-notch shockproof means.
In addition, it was more troublesome to get on the expressway through the toll station. Several toll stations and checkpoints and other equipment were dismantled in the middle before I could successfully get on the road.
In fact, preparations for the transportation of this linear particle accelerator began last year, and it took a full four or five months to successfully transport it from the capital to Qidong.
And now, it's time to put it back together.
Even if there are enough manpower, this will still take more than half a month. After assembly, inspection and debugging are still needed. Even if everything goes well, it will probably have to wait until early June to start using it for the first test experiment.
However, it is impossible for Xu Chuan to stay in Qidong for such a long time. After all, he has a report meeting on the phased results of the NS equation to be held in early May.
Of course, this doesn't mean he can't test the solution.
.......
With several researchers, Xu Chuan rushed to the Institute of Atomic and Nuclear Sciences of the Shanghai Academy of Sciences.
There is a small linear particle accelerator here. Although the performance is far from meeting the requirements, it is still no problem to conduct a simple experiment.
Although SMI-controlled tailfield generators are rare, they are still available in key state-owned nuclear energy research institutes such as the Institute of Atomic and Nuclear Energy of the Shanghai Academy of Sciences.
As for the lead plates used to generate more mid-proton materials in a chain, it goes without saying.
A nuclear research institute may lack anything but lead metal.
Before he developed lead-free nanocomposite reconstructed protective materials, lead protective materials were arguably the most common material used in nuclear energy research experiments.
After spending some time, Xu Chuan made some modifications to the small linear particle accelerator of the Institute of Atomic Nuclear Sciences of the Shanghai Academy of Sciences.
Of course, this kind of modification can be disassembled, and only some temporarily processed parts will be lost.
After all, if it is modified and cannot be dismantled, no one will do it.
...
After the preparations were completed, the experiment began quickly.
Under the control of the Atomic and Nuclear Research Institute of the Shanghai Academy of Sciences, the linear particle accelerator, detector and small experimental black box used for storing nuclear waste were slowly assembled together and spliced into a strange-shaped device.
Looks a bit like a square dumbbell?
The shape is a bit weird, but Xu Chuan doesn't care. As long as it's easy to use, it's just a test product anyway, so why does it look so good?
"Report, the preparations are ready and the experiment can start at any time!"
In the observation room, a staff member reported loudly.
Xu Chuan nodded and said calmly: "Start the experiment!"
"yes!"
"Every group is ready, the experiment officially begins."
"The voltage of the a07 spiral accelerating cavity has been increased!"
"The main control computer auxiliary control program is running normally!"
"The light accelerator has confirmed that it has reached the load and can inject particle beams!"
"The particle beam has been added and the release is on!"
"..."
A series of reports sounded in the control room, and with the final command confirmation, the particle beam bound in the particle chamber was rapidly accelerated to the extreme by the strong magnetic field, and was finally launched like a bullet.
In a place invisible to the naked eye, the lead plate deployed in front of the small experimental black box suffered a strong impact. In an instant, countless neutrophils were separated and entered the inside of the nuclear waste in the black box, hitting the remaining uranium material.
In the control room, Xu Chuan and other researchers and engineers stood together, quietly waiting for the results of the experiment.
On the side, Han Jin, who was in charge of the nuclear energy project, glanced at Xu Chuan beside him, and he was impressed by his calm demeanor.
To be honest, his heart almost jumped out of his throat.
After all, this is a key project involving tens of billions of dollars.
If the energy level and stability cannot be solved, not to mention the delay, the subsequent reconstruction of the linear particle accelerator may require tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of funds.
And the current experiment, although it is only a simulation, can almost confirm whether this idea is correct.
To be able to be so calm at this point can only be said to be worthy of the famous Professor Xu.
After taking a deep breath, Han Jin suppressed his beating emotions and looked at the monitoring screen again.
On the side, Xu Chuan looked at the surveillance screen indifferently. He was indeed not very panicked about this experiment.
People are different. The big projects he has presided over and the great world he has seen are gone.
Not to mention the transformation of linear particle accelerators, even the entire nuclear waste reuse project is not a big deal among the projects he has led.
What's more, even if this experiment failed, he still had other solutions, so he really wasn't too panicked.
.....
As the experiment officially started, the values of various monitors and detectors began to change, and the dedicated staff also began to report the situation.
"Rising radiation intensity detected!"
"Conversion current output rising detected!"
"The current output of the light accelerator is stable, and according to the plan, the number of particle beams will be increased in five seconds..."
"...."
A series of voices sounded in the monitoring room.
Staring at the beating values and curves on the monitoring screen, Xu Chuan's lips curled up into a smile.
Although the experimental testing has not yet been completed, and even one round of debugging has not yet stabilized, he has already seen the results from those jumping values and curves.
