Chapter 271: Extraction of uranium

Yan Fei was worried about the power supply on Wuyin Island, and immediately got a huge surprise from Yang Qi, because Yang Qi actually designed a super nuclear power plant. [WWW.SuiMеng.lā Once the nuclear power plant is built, it will completely solve the energy problem of Wuyin Island.
Seeing Yan Fei's look of joy, Yang Qi continued: "We already have all the technology required for other aspects of this super nuclear power plant, so it is not a problem at all, but for one thing, this super nuclear power plant needs a high temperature resistant Materials, this high temperature resistant material must be able to withstand temperatures of at least 6000 degrees Celsius. "
Yan Fei suddenly felt that the current high temperature resistant materials can only withstand temperatures below 4000 degrees Celsius. Yang Qi actually asked for a material with a high temperature resistance 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, but made a design that he thought was the best with his professional knowledge. In order to achieve the best results, he even applied some materials that have not appeared in reality. Used in super nuclear power plant technology.
Yan Fei was about to tell the truth to Yang Qi, and suddenly remembered the black ball collected in the magma lake under the desert outside Las Vegas. The black sphere was located in a hot lava lake. The temperature of the magma lake was at least 1000-2000 degrees Celsius, but no heat was transmitted. Yan Fei stood on it and felt no heat at all.
So the black ball must have a high temperature resistance, and the black ball is now lying in the general space. When collecting the black ball at that time, Yan Fei didn't know how big it was. After he put the black ball into the common space, he found that its volume was beyond his imagination.
The black sphere has a diameter of 20 meters and is a standard sphere. After Yan Fei's calculations, it was found that its density was very large, reaching 100 tons per cubic meter, and the total weight of a black sphere reached 140,000 tons. No wonder Yan Fei almost exhausted his mental power when collecting it. past.
Then Yan Fei was a bit strange. Since the density of this black sphere is far higher than the density of any material on the earth, how did it float in a magma lake at that time?
Then Yan Fei has more questions. The physical and chemical characteristics of this black sphere are very strange. It is not only dense, but also not thermally conductive. It has completely different properties from other elements on the earth, so it should be a brand new Unknown element. And it can be seen from the environment at the time that this black sphere is likely to fall from outer space into the earth.
After getting this black sphere, Yan Fei only made a preliminary measurement of the data, and has not had time to study it thoroughly. Now that Yang Qi needed a high temperature resistant material, Yan Fei immediately thought of the elements that make up the black sphere. Since the black ball can keep its temperature unchanged in the hot magma, it means that it does not conduct heat, and it is likely to be a super heat-resistant material.
To study the black sphere, there is no better person than Yang Qi. So Yanfei immediately operated in the general space, using the small production workshop in the general space to collect the black ball, and then scanning it, it was found that the black ball was a solid ball, and all the material inside and out It's the same element, very pure.
Fortunately, the black ball is not hard enough, but it is slightly harder than steel. This is also convenient for Yan Fei to use a small production workshop to scrape off the material on the black ball. Then Yan Fei packed this little material in a box, took it out of the general space, and handed it to Yang Qi.
Yan Fei said: "This is a substance I get. It has a very high density 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 that there was a little black powder in the box. The amount of black powder is very small, but it is very heavy and looks at least five or six kilograms. He immediately became interested, and other than to say, this amazing density alone indicates that this substance is not simple.
"I will conduct a detailed study of this black powder, and I will also verify the technology of the super nuclear power plant," said Yang Qi.
After that, Yang Qijing did not study Yan Fei until he had studied the black powder in the laboratory.

Two days later, Yan Fei was accompanying Gentle on the construction site, and the main project of the terminally ill hospital built by Gentle was about to be completed. Just then, Yang Qi suddenly found Yan Fei under the leadership of the security personnel, and regardless of the gentleness next to him, he pulled Yan Fei into his laboratory.
In Yang Qi's laboratory, Yang Qi's calm face had unbelievable excitement. He took out a piece of paper and handed it to Yan Fei, saying, "Yan Fei, this is the attribute of your black powder. I have confirmed that it is definitely not an element that has been found on 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 level of education, he couldn't understand it at all. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Yang Qi, tell me directly, what's the use of this thing?"
Yang Qi said: "The biggest role of this thing is to use it as a catalyst. As long as a small amount of black powder is added to the article as a catalyst, the performance of this article will change and improve greatly. So its use is very wide, I Its use has been deduced in the technology deduction system, and as a result, 128,000 uses have been found. "
"The most important thing is that this black powder itself has ultra-high temperature heat resistance. With our laboratory equipment, we can't find out how many degrees its melting point is, but it is definitely above 10,000 degrees Celsius. So the addition of this black powder Can greatly improve the heat resistance of materials. We have done experiments. After adding a small amount of black powder to ordinary heat-resistant materials, it will be able to withstand a high temperature of 6500 degrees Celsius. Now. "
Yan Fei froze for a while, but did not expect that the elements that make up the black sphere are so powerful, and there are so many uses, even the heat-resistant material that caused him a headache is solved. "Isn't that super nuclear power plant without obstacles?" He said.
Yang Qi said: "After calculation of the technology deduction system, I found that there were some problems in my previous design, so I made some modifications to the previous design, and then asked the auxiliary brain to make further deductions. The result was a The most perfect design solution. The reason why this solution was developed 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. "
Yan Fei was completely relieved, but he immediately worried, and asked, "How much black powder does a nuclear power plant need?"
Although the black ball weighs 140,000 tons, it is the only one currently found on the earth. Once it is used up, it is 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 is very versatile.
Yang Qi has already deduced through the science and technology deduction system, so he already has relevant data in his heart. He said: "This black powder is actually a brand new element. It is very far behind in the periodic table of elements and should be generated by the collision of extreme celestial bodies. But its existence is not in the form of compounds, but Pure elements exist. As long as one gram of such an element is added to 100 tons of material, its physical characteristics can be completely changed. After my calculations, building a super nuclear power plant requires 50 kilograms of this element. "
Upon hearing Yang Qi's words, Yan Fei was relieved. The density of the black powder reached 100 tons / m3. In other words, 50 kilograms is only equal to 05 cubic decimeters. For the total mass of 140,000 tons of black spheres, 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 kg 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 moment and said, "Just call it black gold! Such a title will not reveal its purpose, and outsiders don't know what it means."
Yang Qi said, "Well, I'll call it black gold in the future."
Yan Fei said: "Since the design of the super nuclear power plant is no problem, can we build a nuclear power plant?"
Yang Qi shook his head and said, "No, there is a lot of preliminary preparation work for the super nuclear power plant. It is not just designed to produce it. First of all, you have to determine where the super nuclear power plant is built because this super nuclear power plant is clean and safe. So it doesn't need to be built in inaccessible places. This is the structure of the nuclear power plant I designed, you can take a look first. "
Yan Fei opened the tablet that Yang Qi handed over and began to look at the design drawings in the tablet. Since Yang Qi has the help of a thinking instrument, he can connect to the auxiliary brain, transmit his thoughts and ideas, and then connect the computer terminal in the laboratory with the auxiliary brain to display the ideas and thoughts in his mind. On the computer, other researchers can immediately understand Yang Qi's requirements and follow the instructions. With this mode of thinking communication, Yang Qi's work efficiency has been greatly improved.
This design of the nuclear power plant was also transmitted by Yang Qi to the tablet computer through the assisted brain. Yang Qi has marked out the structural diagram of the super nuclear power plant. According to the data of the structure 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 station were installed within this range.
Yan Fei thought about the terrain on Wuyin Island in her heart, and there was a place to build a nuclear power plant. He said: "I have a target for the location of the nuclear power plant, and I will go to the field with you."
Yang Qi said: "The second thing to prepare in advance is to find a production plant, produce the equipment for the nuclear power plant I need, and then assemble it at the 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 to guide others how to produce equipment."
Yang Qi said: "The technology deduction system already has a large number of industrial product production processes, and we already have the relevant technology, so as long as you give me a little time, I can design a complete production process. But The equipment required by our nuclear power plant has very high requirements for production accuracy, and also has special requirements for materials. I don't think any factory can produce products that meet our requirements. "
The technology tree is complemented by Yang Qi. Some technologies have reached the world's leading level. Most of the technologies are also in line with the world level, and only a few are behind the world's advanced level. Therefore, if compared with the level of science and technology, Yan Fei's current level of technology has surpassed that of the United States, and 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 needs to be gradually improved, so Yan Fei's strength can still not catch up with the rice country in a short time. However, if it is only in the production of high-tech products, Mi Guo is not Yan Fei's opponent now. Because Yanfei has a small production workshop in hand, as long as it is willing to consume energy points, it can naturally improve the production accuracy, so it can quickly produce high-tech products in other countries that take a long time to produce. His only concern was that there was no production process.
So Yan Fei said, "Be assured, 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 give you a complete production process."
Yan Fei solved a difficult problem and was a little happy in her heart. She continued to ask, "What other prerequisite work needs to be prepared?"
Yang Qi said: "We are building a nuclear power plant, then we need uranium as a nuclear fuel. Before the nuclear power plant can officially operate to generate electricity, we must obtain enough uranium."
Yan Fei said: "Uranium is a strategic substance, it is very sensitive and it is really difficult to obtain. Do you have any good suggestions?"
Yang Qi said: "Uranium is very widely distributed in nature, and it is not just buried in the ground."
Yan Fei moved in his heart and asked, "Is there any other place to get uranium?"
Yang Qi said, "As far as I know, seawater contains a large amount of uranium, but they exist in the form of ions, and the content of uranium ions in the seawater is very low. But I have designed one that can be extracted from seawater. The uranium element equipment, the working principle and design scheme 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 just learned that a super nuclear power plant would 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 nuclear fuel cannot be completely burned, so a large amount of nuclear waste will be generated. The half-life of these nuclear wastes is very long, and because of the strong radiation, the damage to nature is very large. To dispose of the nuclear waste, people buried it underground or sealed it with lead drums and threw it into deep sea trenches.
Therefore, Yan Fei's plan is to use drones to go to deep sea trenches to collect the abandoned nuclear waste for power generation at nuclear power plants. You should know that Yang Qi ’s super nuclear power plant technology is very advanced, and even these nuclear wastes with very low uranium content can be used by nuclear power plants for power generation. No matter how bad it is, Yanfei can also send drones to uranium mines in other countries, sneak into the ground to collect other people's uranium resources, and then use these uranium mines for nuclear power generation.
Yan Fei already had his own plan, but he didn't want to ask Yang Qi a big surprise after asking casually. Yang Qi actually gave Yan Fei the ability to extract uranium from seawater. You must know that the content of uranium in seawater has reached 4 billion tons, which is more than 500 times the content of land. It is inexhaustible and inexhaustible.
With this ability to extract uranium elements, Yan Fei no longer has to worry about the acquisition of uranium elements. Naturally, he does not want to steal other people's uranium resources or pick up other people's nuclear waste. You must know that uranium resources are very sensitive. Any amount of it is in the calculations and statistics of others. Even those nuclear waste that have been discarded are also regularly inspected. Once a shortage is found, it will certainly be searched around the world. Trouble for Wuyin Island. And the extraction of uranium from seawater, no one will find anomalies at all, very safe, is the first choice of Yan Fei.
However, Yan Fei was still a little uneasy. He asked, "What is the technical principle of this kind of uranium extraction from seawater?"
Yang Qi explained in detail: "The basic principle of my uranium element extraction equipment is the superconducting magnetic separation method. The superconducting magnetic field using superconducting magnetic field and the high gradient of the magnetic medium in the sorting chamber generate a huge magnetic field. Uranium element ions in a certain range of seawater are adsorbed, and then these uranium element ions are reacted to reduce them to uranium. Because a superconducting magnetic field requires a large amount of electrical energy to be consumed, a large amount of investment is required at the beginning. Electricity. But as long as our super nuclear power plant is up and running, and we have the power supply of nuclear power plants, 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 95-98. This purity uranium element can even be used as a weapon-grade uranium element. Such a uranium extraction device can absorb at least 1 kg of uranium per day, and a complete kilogram of uranium element will generate 2,500 tons of standard coal for combustion. If converted into electrical energy, one kilogram of uranium element can generate 20 million electricity. degree."
Yan Fei was really overjoyed this time. If he could get one kilogram of uranium per day, he would be able to generate 20 million kilowatt-hours, which is more than twice the daily output of thermal power stations and diesel generators on Wuyin Island. With so much surplus electricity, Yan Fei can manufacture more uranium element extraction equipment, get more uranium elements, and then generate more electricity. You need to know that the annual output of this super nuclear power plant has reached 800 billion kWh. When converted, it can generate 2.2 billion kWh per day and can consume up to 110 kg of uranium.
Although the power on Wuyin Island is scarce, it is impossible to consume so much power. Therefore, this super nuclear power plant will not be completed all at once when it is being constructed. It will be completed in three phases. However, as long as the first phase of the project is completed, the power demand of Wuyin Island can be solved for a long time. After the completion of the first phase of the project, the daily consumption of uranium elements is about 10-20 kg.
Another thing that made Yan Fei happy was that he could actually obtain a high concentration of uranium and that it could be used directly as a weapon, which meant that he could already produce nuclear weapons. He had caused so much damage to the country before, so he was always worried that the country would retaliate against him.
Although the United States does not hang on to nuclear threats like Russia all day long, in fact, its nuclear power is the most powerful in the world. The reason why the State of Mi is not clamoring for the threat of nuclear weapons is because their conventional force has been able to crush the world, and nuclear weapons are not a priority for them. But once they were forced by Yan Fei, they would definitely offer the trump card of nuclear weapons. You should know that Wuyin Island is far from land, and even if a nuclear explosion occurs here, it will not have a great impact on land. To destroy Wuyin Island, only a few nuclear weapons may be enough ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Yan Fei has been careful before, that is, I am afraid that the country will throw a few nuclear weapons on himself. But once he also has the ability to make nuclear weapons, he can also carry out nuclear threats to the United States, thereby achieving a terrorist nuclear balance, so naturally he will not be afraid of the nuclear threat from the United States.
Yan Fei did not expect that Yang Qi was only in order to obtain uranium in seawater. He actually provided himself with raw materials capable of manufacturing nuclear weapons, which offset the nuclear threat of the country. .
This also shows the problem that although the IQ of the scientist is very high, the EQ is very low. For the convenience of their research, they often produce something with destructive power. These things were then discovered for other uses, posing a huge threat to the world. Therefore, the research work of scientists must be carried out within the allowable range. Once out of control, it may be the time when human disaster comes.
Yang Qi didn't know the shock that Yan ’s uranium extraction equipment brought to Yan Fei. He continued:
The manufacture of uranium extraction equipment also requires the addition of black gold and requires extremely high precision manufacturing capabilities. The production process requirements are slightly lower. I can sort out their production process and you will find someone to produce it. "
Yan Fei said, "Okay, I wait for your production process."
