Chapter 365 Cooperation Begins
After receiving these two new tasks, Duke first started the miniaturization design of the lotus pile.
Compared to getting bigger, it is easier to miniaturize the lotus reactor. The original experimental reactor prototype of the lotus reactor is one-third smaller than that of the general reactor, and it is not difficult to further improve it while reducing power. Moreover, the reaction method of the lotus reactor is easier to achieve integrated design, and it is far beyond the current mainstream level in terms of automation management and safety.
What Duke needs to consider is to ensure that the nuclear radiation of this small lotus pile is controlled in a closed environment in a small space. In this regard, Duke chose a better radiation-proof material than concrete to achieve it. With Kerry's help, based on the lotus pile, Duke will re-enter, and Kerry will automatically adjust according to the new requirements and output two new designs.
After Kerry's simulation and verification, the two new s-1 and s-2 miniaturized lotus piles are much smaller than conventional power plants. On large ships, the volume of this small lotus pile is almost negligible. Duke is sure that the Navy guys will fall in love with it when they come out of these two designs. In addition to the fact that the pile is a bit expensive in terms of price due to material use, it is simply a perfect power source.
Because it is equipped with enough nuclear fuel, in theory, this nuclear reactor can operate for a full 60 years. If the life support on the ship can keep up, the ship's endurance will be almost unlimited in its life cycle!
With Kerry, it is easy to complete the reduced version of the Lotus Pile design prototype. With this plan, Duke confidently started the research of this project with Professor Zhu. Since the Lotus Pile design was in front of him, Duke directly took out the frame design part of the new s-1 and s-2 design prototypes. This frame part is almost one-third of the workload of the entire pile design, and it is both a relatively critical part.
After getting this prototype, the project team led by Professor Zhu has the foundation for research on lotus piles and is not unfamiliar with this design. Although the things Duke gave a bit of a rapid progress in terms of the progress, since most of the key things are available in lotus piles, it did not arouse Professor Zhu's suspicion.
Anyway, Duke is used to being genius. People who follow him to do research and development know that he often has amazing work ability and a working attitude, so it is no problem to start with this research. With Duke's framework design, Professor Zhu is familiar with everyone, and basically he can work on this very solid foundation without transition.
The smooth progress of the entire progress made Qin Tairan, the newly promoted vice president, very satisfied. According to the current situation, a prototype stack will be released within one year at most, because the core part has begun to be produced according to Duke's design. Shenda's latest high-precision processing machine tool, combined with the new materials of Xincheng Special Steel, has better physical characteristics than the first generation of lotus stacks.
As for the supporting equipment outside the core, Duke can communicate with them every few days. When he finds that the project team is in the wrong direction, he can correct it in time to keep the entire project research and development direction on the right path. Duke is less involved in specific matters, because his energy is occupied by Mr. Liu's second project.
Relatively speaking, the second project offered by Mr. Liu is much more difficult than Duke imagined. Many things are new knowledge. Duke needs a large amount of learning materials to enrich Kerry's knowledge base. After more than half a month of research, Duke found that the architecture of the software system itself is not complicated, but after obtaining the existing relevant data and data sets, Kerry's preliminary analysis results show that the defects in the data collection in the existing system are too big.
The accuracy of the mathematical model derived from existing data is relatively low, which is about 70% to 80%, which means that in predicting the operation of a target trajectory, there is about 20% to 30%. If we use distance, it is a goal of 100 meters. The existing data model can set the target position in the large range of 70 to 80 meters to 1230 meters.
Obviously, many parameters that affect the prediction of the operation of this high-speed object have not been collected, which leads to the poor accuracy of the derived mathematical model. What makes Duke even speechless is that even for important parameters, the actual acquisition delay period is a bit too long. In Kerry's simulation, this directly leads to the prediction not keeping up with the operation of the actual object.
If this is an actual target tracking and aiming system, the most intuitive phenomenon that the system appears is that the system's estimated operating trajectory has huge errors, but it is always half a beat slower.
To improve this, it is obviously a complex system project, and software modeling is just one of the links, although this thing is also very critical.
Duke carefully used Kerry's analysis to simulate and test it with the computer. After taking these results, Duke began to communicate with the project team designated by Qin Tairan to assist. At first, the experts and professors of the project team had a strong skepticism about Duke. For this very professional field, these experts and professors believed that although Duke had outstanding achievements in computer science, he had a specialty in his profession and his energy was limited. Experts did not believe that Duke could not master the knowledge in this field so quickly.
However, these experts and professors were soon stunned in front of the model Duke took out. They were sure that they had not leaked the things they had studied for decades. What they gave Duke was only some reference data and basic knowledge, because the model part was still highly confidential. If anyone mastered this model, it would be equivalent to having a full grasp of the accuracy of most fire control systems in China.
However, after getting the model given by Duke, after simple development by experts, facing something more accurate than his own model, and three-dimensional graphics developed by Duke that can simulate the difference between the predicted trajectory and the actual operating trajectory in real time, the experts looked at each other, feeling that decades of research were simply in vain in front of this genius.
Fortunately, Duke is here to do things. He took out the model and simulation data one by one and proposed more than a dozen new parameter assumptions. It is not easy for these experts to collect data on these parameters. Soon, these things were decomposed into more than a dozen sub-projects, and the project team first studied how to collect these parameter data.
Although it deviates from the initial project's original conception progress, Duke, who has completely impressed the experts, now has enough authoritative leadership to lead the project.
