LNMTL needs user funding to survive Read More

In the south island situation starts the undercurrent to surge, leaf boat finally waits till the first nuclear power navigation that he harbored intentions to send the ground roll. 在南岛局势开始暗潮涌动之际,叶舟终于等到了他心心念念的第一次核动力航发地面试车。 Because secure unknown, this test run has not invited him to participate- or strictly prohibited strictly him to participate. 由于安全性未知,这一次试车并没有邀请他参加-或者说是严格禁止了他参加。 Therefore, he also can only surround the test run entire process through the long-distance video, were many some restricted data besides the contact surface on, with these from the intranet saw the ordinary staff who live broadcast have no difference. 所以,他也只能通过远程视频围观试车全过程,除了界面上多了一些保密数据之外,跟那些从内部网络上看到直播的普通工作人员没有任何区别。 In the morning 10 o'clock time, the ground-test plant has completed the complete preparatory work, the engine already the hoisting on the shelf, because of the particularity of engine fuel, this time even oil line saved directly, besides being used to control the navigation to send the electric circuit of reactor core, belonged to the position of oil line to install emergency breakoff of one pure machinery. 上午十点钟的时候,地面试车台已经完成了全部准备工作,发动机已经吊装上架,因为发动机燃料的特殊性,这次连输油管线都直接省掉了,除了用于控制航发堆芯的电路之外,原本属于输油管线的位置上安装了一套纯机械的紧急停车装置。 This equipment independence and navigation send beyond control system, if had the emergency case, it will turn on the reactor core through the violent dismantling way directly, pours into a lot of cooling agent and moderators through the pipeline, forcing the fission reaction to stop. 这套装置独立与航发本身的控制系统之外,万一出现了紧急情况,它将直接通过暴力拆解方式打开反应堆芯,通过管线倾注大量冷却剂和慢化剂,迫使裂变反应停止。 The radiation that in this process, in the reactor core the fission has will divulge completely, therefore, to avoid the nuclear radiation pollution, this time test bay was in fact also sealed in a giant cement coffin, in the event of accidental/surprised, will block to bury the entire cement coffin in the project army of peripheral preparation completely, thoroughly prototype that gives up this nuclear power navigation sending. 这个过程中,堆芯中裂变产生的辐射将全部泄露,所以,为了避免核辐射污染,这次的试车台实际上也被密封在一个巨大的水泥棺材之中,一旦出现了意外,在外围准备的工程部队就会将整个水泥棺材全部封死埋藏,彻底放弃这一台核动力航发的原型机。 Therefore, this Taiwan Airlines sends a time in fact only has opportunity. 所以,这台航发实际上只有一次机会。 If were defeated, must start over from the beginning, takes one year, or at least six months. 如果失败了,要从头再来的话,就又需要一年、或者至少半年的时间。 This makes everyone somewhat anxious, after all, this engine is not only embodying they over two years of painstaking care, but also is representative the first great achievement of Nantianmen project. 这让所有人都有些紧张,毕竟,这台发动机不仅仅凝聚着他们超过两年时间的心血,还代表着南天门项目的第一个重大成果。 The nuclear power navigation sent successfully, the Golden Crow biggest problem was solved ; If it were defeated, then the progress of entire Golden Crow project must be slowed. 核动力航发成功了,金乌最大的困难就解决了;如果它失败了,那么整个金乌项目的进展都要被拖慢。 Sits leaf boat in conference room looks at the picture on screen anxiously, is bustling about the staff who make the final check have started to evacuate, the test bay workshop serious radiation protection isolation gate closure, the engine is in the simulation testing stage, after the examination is completed, once the control rod drew out, the reactor core will enter to the critical state rapidly. 坐在会议室里的叶舟紧张地看着屏幕上的画面,忙碌着做最后检查的工作人员已经开始撤离,试车台车间沉重的防辐射隔离门关闭,发动机进入模拟操作检验阶段,在检验完成之后,控制棒一旦被拔出,堆芯就会迅速进入到临界状态。 Later, enters the critical state reactor core to have massive heats, heats up the air outside reactor through the heat interchanger, produces high temperature and heavy pressure air that the turbine engine needs, thus promotes the turbine engine to operate. 之后,进入临界状态的堆芯会产生大量的热量,通过热交换器加热反应堆外的空气,产生涡轮发动机所需的高温、高压气流,从而推动涡轮发动机运行。 Essentially, this was one gives off heat to replace the engine that the fossil fuel gave off heat with the nuclear fuel, the nuclear reactor core replaced the position of original combustion chamber, so-called combustion transformed from direct into indirect, but the cardinal principle has not actually changed. 从本质上来说,这就是一款用核燃料发热取代化石燃料发热的发动机,核堆芯取代了原有燃烧室的位置,所谓的“燃烧”从直接式转变为间接式,但基本的原理其实并未发生变化。 Therefore, these technical achievement on the Qilian engine obtaining can still apply on this engine, for example fan blade material, thermostable material and radiation shielding material... 所以,那些在祁连发动机上取得的技术成果仍然可以应用在这台发动机上,比如扇叶材料、耐高温材料、防辐射材料… Until this time, leaf boat discovered, originally before , the scientific and technological achievements in the simulation yielding, the achievement of material study domain, the function of display actually imagines him particularly is bigger. 直到这时候,叶舟才发现,原来自己之前模拟中所获得的科技成果、尤其是材料学领域的成果,发挥的作用其实比他想象中的还要大。 Therefore, the volume of this engine is so big, how when the time comes can install to an airplane on? Before you me told that a thrust force of engine are most also 100 tons high and low, by the Golden Crow present blueprint, needs 400 tons thrust force at least, how this can following arrange?” “所以,这台发动机的体积这么大,到时候要怎么装到一架飞机上?按照你之前跟我说的,一台发动机的推力最多也就100吨上下,以金乌现在的设计图来看,起码需要400吨的推力,这个后续要怎么安排?” Hears Chen Hao issue, leaf boat shakes the head, replied: 听到陈昊的问题,叶舟摇了摇头,回答道: Now you see is not ‚an engine, but is a nuclear reactor, with a turbofan engine.” “你现在看到的不是‘一台发动机’,而是一个核反应堆,和一台涡扇发动机。” Specifically, the structure of nuclear power engine sent with the traditional navigation is different, because had the way of heavy pressure air to be different, it must be analyzed two parts.” “准确地说,核动力发动机的结构跟传统的航发是不一样的,因为产生高压气流的方式不同,它必须被拆分成两个部分。” „A part is the reactor part, what this part plays is core combustion chamber the function, here, after the heat heats up the air that in the air intake flooded into, discharges truly through the pipeline engine.” “其中一个部分就是反应堆部分,这部分起到的是‘核心燃烧室’的功能,在这里,热量加热了进气道中涌入的空气之后,又通过管线排出到真正的‘发动机’里面去。” Therefore, the volume of this engine system was not equal to that the reactor adds the volume of engine, rather, on a reactor, can dispose many engines.” “所以,这个发动机系统的体积也并不等于反应堆加发动机的体积,而是,在一个反应堆上,可以配置多台发动机。” „The heat that so long as the nuclear reactor has is enough, the engine that then, a reactor can carry theoretically can achieve over 8- naturally, we do not need so many.” “只要核反应堆产生的热量足够,那么理论上来说,一个反应堆可以挂载的发动机是可以达到八台以上的-当然,我们并不需要那么多。” Listens to Ye Zhou's explanation, the Chen Hao slight nod , to continue to ask later: 听完叶舟的解释,陈昊微微点头,随后继续问道: That issue came, such small reactor, heat enough?” “那问题来了,这么小的反应堆,热量够吗?” Theoretically is enough, what this reactor core uses is the fifth-generation miniaturized thorium base fused salt reactor, the thermal efficiency surpasses the Rankine cycle of mainstream over 60, the operating temperature is 1600 degrees high, sends equally matched with the traditional combustion navigation.” “理论上是够的,这个堆芯用的是第五代的小型化钍基熔盐反应堆,热效率超过主流的朗肯循环60以上,工作温度最高达到1600度,跟传统的燃烧型航发不相上下。” What is more important, you look at the reactor to be young now, that is compared to you have seen the sending voltaic pile, in fact, this navigation sends the system combustion chamber size, adds to be bigger than Qilian engine 10.” “更重要的是,你现在看着反应堆小,那是相对于你见过的发电堆而言的,实际上,这个航发系统的‘燃烧室’大小,比祁连发动机十个加起来还要大。” Therefore, it promotes rear end turbofan engine absolutely not to have the issue, the issue is only lies in the way of gas expansion rate relative chemical combustion wants to be smaller.” “所以,它推动后端的涡扇发动机完全没有问题,问题只是在于气体膨胀率相对化学燃烧的方式要小一些而已。” This flaw, can only succeed by sheer force of numbers.” “这一个缺陷,就只能以量取胜了。” Synthesis, with the issue of its worry thrust force, is worried about the issue that lets in air would rather. Such great quantity compressed gas consumption, I do not know how the following Golden Crow must design, can meet the air admission requirements ....... this is not the issue that today must solve.” “综合来说,与其担心推力的问题,倒不如担心进气的问题。这么巨量的高压气体消耗,我都不知道后续的金乌要怎么设计,才能满足进气要求…….不过这也不是今天要解决的问题。” Ok, the engine starts now preheating, first look.” “好了,现在发动机开始预热了,先看吧。” During the speeches, the data demonstration engine on screen has entered preheating, the reactor core temperature continually rises, finally stopped in 700 degrees high and low range, the air current entered in the turbofan engine along two circuits, the fan blade started to rotate, the motor exit sprayed the burning hot the wake. 说话间,屏幕上的数据显示发动机已经进入预热,堆芯温度不断上升,最后停在了700度上下的范围,气流沿着二回路进入涡扇发动机中,扇叶开始转动,发动机喷口喷射出炙热的尾流。 At this time, the thrust force of entire stage engine has risen 15 tons, but has not actually continued to rise like the former Qilian engine run. 此时,整台发动机的推力已经上升到了15吨,但却没有像之前祁连发动机试车一样继续上升。 What stage is this?” “这是什么阶段?” This time Chen Hao seemed to have regarded the encyclopedias leaf boat, one opens the mouth to inquire facing the issue that oneself cannot understand directly. 此时的陈昊似乎已经把叶舟当成了百科,一遇到自己看不懂的问题就直接开口提问。 „The present is the preheating stable stage. The heat-exchanging system of nuclear power engine is very complex, it not possible like traditional fossil fuel engine, so long as controlled the fuel emitting quantity to control the stable combustion temperature.” “现在是预热稳定阶段。核动力发动机的热交换装置是很复杂的,它不可能像传统的化石燃料发动机一样,只要控制了燃料喷吐量就能控制住稳定的燃烧温度。” Each starting engine, the fission reactor core needs to stabilize, the heat interchanger needs to stabilize, each circuit also needs to stabilize, this is also the nuclear engine biggest problem- is unable to start promptly.” “每一次启动发动机,裂变堆芯需要稳定,热交换器需要稳定,各个回路也需要稳定,这也是核能发动机最大的问题-无法及时启动。” Also is for this reason, the Golden Crow will be designed such big volume, because it after a launching, is doomed to maintain the in the air cruise for a long time, it keeps the time of ground, is actually very short.” “也就是因为这个原因,金乌才会被设计成这么大的体积,因为它在一次起飞之后,就注定要长时间维持空中巡航,它留在地面的时间,其实是很短的。” Short to being possible not over 10 minutes. The landing, the unit replacement and launching, are so simple.” “短到有可能不会超过十分钟。降落、机组更换、起飞,就这么简单。” Also is really Sun that will never drop. 还真是永不落下的太阳。 Hears here, Chen Hao in wants to say at heart secretly. 听到这里,陈昊在心里暗暗想道。 Time one minute/share one second passes by, the engine prewarming condition eventually ended, the thrust force data that on the screen demonstrates starts to rise slowly, starts from 15 tons, the data stabilization and climbs to 60 tons regular. 时间一分一秒过去,发动机预热状态终于结束,屏幕上显示的推力数据开始缓慢上升,从15吨开始,数据稳定而规律地爬升到60吨。 Arrived this degree, basically can think that the key property of this engine has reached the level of current traditional engine. 到这个程度,基本上可以认为这台发动机的基本性能已经达到当前传统发动机的水准了。 But leaf boat or Chen Hao, they do not satisfy this result, because they had seen the Qilian engine's first test run on the magnificent feat of breakthrough 140 tons thrust force. 但无论是叶舟还是陈昊,他们都并不满足于这个结果,因为他们都是曾经看到过祁连发动机第一次试车就突破140吨推力的壮举的。 You thought how many tons this time can arrive at?” “你觉得这次能到多少吨?” leaf boat shakes the head, replied: 叶舟摇了摇头,回答道: Theoretically, if did not consider power enough this motor power that the supporting capacity of engine each module, the reactor core outputs goes against over 300 tons, but we cannot achieve such structural strength, therefore can only be scattered the power.” “理论上来说,如果不考虑发动机各个模块的承载力的话,堆芯输出的动力足够这台发动机推力顶到300吨以上,但我们做不到这样的结构强度,所以只能把动力分散。” Now only then an engine, then...... I thought that should control about 120 tons.” “现在只有一台发动机,那么……我觉得应该会控制在120吨左右。” As if responding to his words to be the same, starts and thrust force data continues to climb up, the reactor core temperature also broke through 1000 degrees subcritical temperatures, in just two minutes, the motor power jumped directly from 60 tons 100 tons. 彷佛在回应他的话一样,发动及推力数据继续爬上,堆芯温度也突破了1000度的次临界温度,在短短两分钟之内,发动机推力从60吨直接跃升到了100吨。 A lot of redundant fuel gas were discharged through the reservation air vent, after simulating the multi- machines is parallel active status, what is strange, the people can notice that obviously by ray that the high temperature gas flow twists, actually cannot see the wake completely. 大量冗余燃气被通过预留的排气口排出,模拟着多机并联后的工作状态,但诡异的是,众人明明可以看到被高温气流扭曲的光线,却完全看不到尾流本身。 If closes the speech transmission of live broadcast, the active status of this engine is a from head to tail silence. 如果关闭掉直播的语音传输,这台发动机的工作状态就是一种彻头彻尾的沉默。 Besides the slight vibration of engine structure, even is unable from the outward appearance to judge whether it has started. 除了发动机结构的轻微抖动之外,甚至无法从外观是判断它是否已经启动。 Soon to limit- temperature arrives at 1600 degrees, close to thorium base fused salt pile of critical temperatures, we must certainly reserve certain safety margin.” “快要到极限了-温度到达1600度,就接近钍基熔盐堆的临界温度了,我们肯定要预留一定的安全余量。” Hears Ye Zhou's words, Chen Hao somewhat asked with amazement: 听到叶舟的话,陈昊有些惊讶地问道: You meant, if necessary, can we also with the supercriticality operation engine?” “你的意思是说,如果有必要的话,我们还可以以超临界状态运行发动机?” Yes, but enters the supercriticality to be easy, returning the critical state is not easy, this should say, is one -off solution, when the situation is extremely critical can use.” “是的,但是进入超临界状态容易,重新回到临界状态就不容易了,这应该说,是一种一次性解法,只有在情况极度危急的时候才能使用。” Chen Hao nods seriously, the line of sight shifts to the screen. 陈昊郑重地点头,视线重新转向屏幕。 Just like leaf boat judges, the thrust force of this engine is stable finally in 120 tons, after operates continually for dozen minutes, the engine starts to enter the engine off flow. 正如叶舟所判断的一样,这台发动机的推力最终稳定在120吨,在持续运行十几分钟之后,发动机开始进入停机流程。 After one hour, the stalling of engine, the radiation detect is completed, confirmed after the workshop radiation dose is normal, the staff open the workshop front door, re-entered the test bay workshop. 一小时后,发动机熄火,辐射检测完成,确认车间辐射剂量正常后,工作人员打开车间大门,重新进入了试车台车间。 Finished to the final conclusion inspection, in the workshop bursts into the cheers that such as the thunder rolls. 一直到最后的收尾检查结束,车间中才爆发出如雷滚动的欢呼声。 leaf boat long breathes a sigh of relief, withdrew from the live broadcast contact surface. 叶舟长长舒了一口气,退出了直播界面。 ...... …… The first test run of nuclear power engine, did not have the mighty waves to end like this, stir that however it around the world triggered, actually like dreadful monstrous waves. 核动力发动机的第一次试车,就这样毫无波澜地结束了,然而它在世界范围内所引发的轰动,却如同一场滔天巨浪。 That night, with the announcement of test run result, shocking news started to appear in the front page headline of international media. 当天晚上,随着试车结果的公布,一条条耸人听闻的新闻开始出现在国际媒体的头版头条上。 Cold war monster comes back to life, the Eastern Evil Dragon regains bans the technique!” “冷战怪物还魂,东方恶龙重拾禁术!” „The sword of man-made Damocles, the sword hilt has cast!” “人造的达摩克里斯之剑,剑柄已经铸成!” Sun project breaks through, ambition of Huaxia big?” “金乌项目突破,华夏的野心到底有多大?” Nuclear power engine, is the gospel, is the sad news?” “核动力发动机,到底是福音,还是噩耗?” „The product from hell will soon fly to the heaven, the country of East, unexpectedly is the country of Satan?” “来自地狱的产物即将飞向天国,东方之国,居然是撒旦之国?” ... In this series of reports, only has hair Xiongguo the report to be most normal. 在这一系列的报道中,唯有毛熊国的报道最为正常。 Attempts the honor recast, the red giant bird will soon fly upwards!” “图荣光重铸,红色巨鸟即将飞升!”
