Chapter 317 Nuclear Reactor
Zhaicheng Aviation Center, the main building in front of the rocket building, was originally an open space. Later, some modifications were made to meet the needs of Houyi manufacturing and launch.
It has become a special area opened up for the overall assembly work of Hou Yi in the final stage. At the same time, if nothing unexpected happens, the first takeoff or moon landing launch of Hou Yi will be held here, so this area is temporarily ordered
is the launch area.
After Zhang Zhai received the message from Gan Xiaohua, he immediately took the elevator from the top floor to the first floor, and then exited from the first floor to the launch area.
There are many Terminators busy in the launch area. They are making preliminary preparations for the assembly of Houyi in more than ten days.
Although the Terminators' movements are very regular and extremely standardized, the launch area is inevitably temporarily reduced to a 'construction site'
Ignoring these, Zhang Zhai saw at a glance the nuclear fission reactor undergoing handover.
That huge volume stands at the edge of the launch area, and its presence is too strong to be ignored.
…
"Mr. Zhang, are you here?" Gan Xiaohua, who was communicating with the handover staff, turned around and glanced at Zhang Zhai, and immediately greeted him.
Zhang Zhai nodded when he heard the sound, and then looked at the motorcade beside him that could not be ignored.
There are five vehicles in total, with a special transport vehicle in the middle and two armed escort vehicles parked at the front and rear.
The length of the special transport vehicle beside me is nearly 25 meters. Under the transport vehicle, there are densely packed road wheels. This special transport vehicle is usually hard to see. It is a transport vehicle specially made for transporting some special equipment and instruments.
This huge special transport vehicle makes people look extremely small when standing next to it. Even ordinary trucks or trucks are dwarfed in front of him.
At this time, the long and wide carriage of the special transport vehicle has been exposed above and on the left and right sides. The roof and side panels of the carriage are hung on both sides of the special transport vehicle. A huge container is parked steadily on the floor of the carriage.
The length of the container is close to that of a bus, and its width is about 1.5 times that of a bus. If nothing unexpected happens, inside this container is the nuclear fission reactor commissioned by the Zhaicheng Space Center to be produced by the Huaguo Nuclear Industry Group.
"Academician Gan, how are you? Is there any problem with the reactor?" Zhang Zhai asked in a low voice.
"Professor Hu is taking people for inspection, it may take some time." Gan Xiaohua explained.
Zhang Zhai nodded and said nothing more.
"I've kept this little brother waiting for a long time." Gan Xiaohua turned his head and said to the person responsible for the handover.
"This is a nuclear reactor. It should be inspected carefully. It doesn't matter if it takes longer. As long as there are no problems with your inspection and you can accept it with confidence, I can hand it over with confidence." The person in charge of the handover from the Nuclear Industry Group did not care and smiled.
said.
Next, Zhang Zhai, Gan Xiaohua and the person in charge of the handover chatted casually, but the three people's attention was focused on the nuclear reactor being tested.
Time gradually passed, from noon to the time when the sun above our heads began to slowly set towards the west.
The three of them kept facing the sun and chatting absentmindedly. Even though they were sweating profusely, they didn't pay much attention.
Professor Hu led people to inspect it for more than two hours, and the inspection was very careful.
"Dong...dong...dong..."
Professor Hu and eight people walked out of the container, stepped on the simple stairs replaced by iron plates, and walked down from the special transport vehicle.
"Mr. Zhang?" Professor Hu was a little surprised that Zhang Zhai was also there.
"Well, Professor Hu, the inspection of the nuclear reactor has been completed. Are there any problems?" Zhang Zhai asked directly.
Gan Xiaohua and the person responsible for the handover also focused their attention on Professor Hu.
Upon seeing this, Professor Hu did not answer directly in words, but immediately handed the folder in his hand to Zhang Zhai.
The folder is open, with the acceptance status of the nuclear reactor recorded on the left and right pages.
Zhang Zhai looked at it bit by bit from the upper left corner.
Professor Hu wrote down every situation he checked in detail, and all the results seemed to be good.
Zhang Zhai nodded from time to time. It seemed that the nuclear industry group at least did not trick him.
"Eh..." Zhang Zhai just had this thought. When he saw the content of the page on the right, he was immediately slapped in the face.
Half of his face turned dark, "Professor Hu, are you sure there is nothing wrong with these data?"
"Mr. Zhang, I have checked it three times and there is absolutely no problem." Professor Hu shook his head.
After receiving Professor Hu's affirmative answer, Zhang Zhai no longer had any doubts. He handed the folder directly to the other party's handover staff, and then said angrily: "My friend, this is just an ordinary nuclear reactor. It seems far from reaching the limit."
meet our requirements.”
As soon as Zhang Zhai finished speaking, the expressions of the workers of the Nuclear Industry Group suddenly changed. They picked up the folder in a slight panic and flipped through it.
When he saw where Zhang Zhai was looking, his face suddenly turned pale, "How is this possible!"
He was a little excited and rushed directly into the container. It seemed that he was also a technician.
Zhang Zhai stood there and shook his head.
Gan Xiaohua was a little confused because he didn't read the test data, but based on Zhang Zhai's words and the reaction of the other party's handover personnel, he still guessed that there was something wrong with the nuclear reactor.
"Mr. Zhang, what is going on?"
"The situation is that this is an ordinary nuclear reactor. A nuclear reactor that is completely manufactured according to ground standards. If it is used to build a nuclear power plant on the ground, it will definitely be more than enough. There will be no problems."
"However, Academician Gan, you should also understand that due to the influence of the space environment, ordinary nuclear reactors are too fragile. At the same time, due to the weak gravity, some control facilities inside ordinary nuclear reactors will lose their function. Therefore, we will give the opponent a
It is a special order, and the design standards of some parts of the nuclear reactor should be changed, but after Professor Hu's inspection..." Zhang Zhai shook his head and said nothing.
"But after repeated inspections, I found that this is just an ordinary nuclear reactor." Professor Hu Runze said what Zhang Zhai did not say.
Gan Xiaohua also frowned when he heard this.
"This problem can be said to be very serious. If Professor Hu does not check carefully and ignores this problem, what awaits us may be similar to the previous American lunar exploration rocket, and the Houyi will fall directly from the sky.
If it is more serious, a nuclear leak will occur before leaving space, and the extremely pure nuclear fuel will be mixed with rainwater and fall from the sky like rain." Zhang Zhai said in a relaxed tone.
But Gan Xiaohua, Professor Hu, and other technical staff present felt chills in their hearts and broke out in cold sweats.
Everyone felt sad, and Zhang Zhai didn't say anything more, waiting for the other party's handover officer to complete the re-inspection.
About ten minutes later, the handover personnel came out of the container, their faces even uglier, but their expressions were much calmer.
"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Gan, Professor Hu, this matter is indeed our mistake. We will take full responsibility for the problems caused by us and give you a satisfactory explanation." The handover person said solemnly.
"Please allow me to contact the person in charge of the group first."
Zhang Zhai nodded and made a gesture to ask him to please.
Zhang Zhai did not make it difficult for the other party to hand over personnel, or appear angry.
