There is nothing wrong with this preliminary design idea, Lei Tiantang and other company executives. Since everyone feels in their hearts that it is necessary to build a special laboratory spaceport, then follow the company’s usual practice or not to do it. To do that, of course, it must be done according to the best standards.
"There is nothing wrong with this preliminary design, but I remember that when we designed the integrated spaceport before, it seemed that the energy used was the small nuclear fission reactor we learned after we exchanged nuclear fusion reactor technology with the country?
Although we have optimized and upgraded the entire reactor, the energy that such a reactor can provide is relatively limited, right? It is not a big problem to use it on the ‘Horse Guardian’ space station, and it’s not a big problem to use it on a comprehensive spaceport with a few more sets.
But the problem of using this spaceport in your newly designed space port is a bit big. So many large multi-functional laboratories have a very large demand for energy, especially experiments such as research and development of new materials are all energy-intensive users. , And your laboratories have high requirements for long-term stable supply of energy.
In this case, even using a few sets of small nuclear fission reactors seems very reluctant, right? How did you solve this problem? "Lei Tiantang started asking questions on related technical issues."
"I'll answer this question!" Niu Chengzhe, the laboratory director of the energy company, raised his hand and motioned.
After seeing everyone looking at him, Niu Chengzhe said with a smile: "First of all, I want to report to you a good news, that is, our research and development tasks for the mobility and miniaturization of nuclear fusion reactors are coming to an end. I want to wait until the research and development is successful before reporting.
But this time, just taking the opportunity of designing a new space laboratory to say it in advance will also give us more confidence in the design of the spaceport, and we promise not to delay the construction of the spaceport, before the spaceport officially starts construction Definitely be able to complete the research and development tasks!
Because in fact our main research and development tasks have been completed, the remaining work is to set standards, verify whether the design meets the requirements, and see if any loopholes need to be fixed in the subsequent simulation experiments and physical experiments. After these steps are completed, we can use higher-energy nuclear fusion reactors in all the company's space missions!
Not only spaceports can be used. If nuclear fusion reactors are added to the construction of our lunar base and Mars base, I believe they can also complete the construction goals faster and better. The most important thing is our next-generation spacecraft. Nuclear fusion reactors can also be used to provide huge energy!
Although all of this will take time, it will not delay us now when we are designing to start using nuclear fusion reactors as energy sources, because our main standard data are available, and there are no problems with the design.
Therefore, we also adopted the previous dual energy supply mode in the design of the entire laboratory-dedicated spaceport. The nuclear fusion reactor power station and huge solar panels at the bottom can ensure the safety of energy supply for the entire spaceport.
Moreover, in order to ensure the energy safety of the entire spaceport after unexpected power failures in these two energy supply methods under extreme conditions, we have also specially designed two compartments to store high-performance battery packs, and the total battery storage capacity of each compartment can be Reach 150 megawatts.
A total of 300 megawatts of power is enough for the entire spaceport to maintain smoothly for at least one week after the first two main energy supply modes are interrupted. There is enough time for us to repair or relaunch the power supply module.
This is also the preliminary attempt of our company's next energy plan. The space energy plant we previously designed requires such a large capacity battery pack to travel between the earth and the energy plant.
After all, our solar energy plant is built on a remote earth orbit. If we want to safely recover the energy collected there and use it on the earth, our best solution is to use large-capacity battery packs for transportation.
Those transmission methods that directly gather sunlight on the ground are unacceptable, because the power of highly concentrated sunlight is much more powerful than the laser cannon developed by our company, and it is still long-term continuous irradiation!
Even if you don't consider the impact of this kind of radiation on the earth's climate, I don't think any country wants to have such a weapon that can destroy the city on its head?
So we are now going to start data collection using large-capacity battery packs in space. After the construction of our space energy plant is completed, even if we take turns to charge our two spare battery packs The energy demand of the spaceport has been maintained for a long time, so there will be no problems with the energy issue of the spaceport!
And with the company’s future improvements in battery technology, I believe that our battery packs can be reduced in size while also greatly increasing capacity. At that time, our space energy plant will become part of our company’s space colonization program. The largest energy provider! "
After listening to his introduction, not only Lei Tiantang was satisfied, but also the company’s senior executives. With the continuous development of the company’s space program, the issue of space energy security has become particularly important. Now they can hear the good news. Can't help but clap.
Lei Tiantang also smiled and applauded everyone to express his appreciation to Niu Chengzhe and the others~EbookFREE.me~ Although he and Kuafu had already solved the nuclear fusion reactor related problems, he did not teach this technology. From the company's energy laboratory, he is also very pleased that they can complete this R&D task with their own strength.
"Yes! Keep working hard! The potential of nuclear fusion reactors is endless. Although you are now on the right track in related research, I believe you all know that the nuclear fusion technology our company has now is still very rudimentary.
You must find ways to improve the energy efficiency ratio of the reactor, and solve the application problems in more scenarios of nuclear fusion reactors. Of course, you must not give up the research and development of the next generation of nuclear fusion reactors. Looking forward to your continuous good news!
I will continue to pay attention to the related work of the space energy plant. We have discussed the importance of this plan, so all your departments should pay attention to it! "Lei Tiantang said with a smile.
"Don't worry, boss, we are not slacking off because of this achievement. If it weren't for you to provide complete nuclear fusion reactor technology, I am afraid that even the company's reactor power station has not yet started construction on our own!" Niu Cheng Zhe said with a smile.
