Chapter 371 Supercomputer with 5 million operations per second

"This is not a problem. Don't we have an alloy factory in our hands, the 754 factory, now we have to use high temperature powder metallurgy to produce tungsten and molybdenum products. The current high temperature furnace should be almost designed, maybe the samples have been produced. If powder metallurgy is used and the rare earth elements are removed according to this process, at what price can the production cost of this depleted uranium alloy be controlled?" Liu Yijiu thought that the high-temperature vacuum furnace at the 754 factory should be ready soon, and immediately Have an idea.

There is no need to make armor with depleted uranium alloy, after all, even though the radiation of that thing is small, it cannot be eliminated.

The bullets used to make armor-piercing bullets and s75 and 77 anti-material sniper rifles will be more powerful with this power.

With graphene, what other depleted uranium alloy is used.

Depleted uranium alloy is used for anti-armor, it is definitely an artifact!

"We already have such production equipment? If this is the case, the cost will drop a lot. We haven't made detailed calculations for the specific situation. According to the initial inference, if mass production, the price per ton should be able to reduce. It's about $200,000." Liu Suxue asked in surprise."If vacuum induction melting is used, the cost will be lower, and it is estimated to be reduced to about $150,000..."

High temperature powder metallurgy, this is the most sophisticated technology in the material industry.

He did not expect at all that China already had such production capacity in China.If high temperature powder metallurgy can be used to produce tungsten and molybdenum products, their research will be faster.

With vacuum induction melting, this is even more high-end.

Liu Yijiu was also sad when he heard this.

The vacuum induction furnace is out, but the technical difficulty of melting and casting will be greater than that of powder metallurgy.

Regarding these, he can only shake his head. It's not that he can't get it out, but that he can't put time on it. All kinds of techniques seem to have to be promoted.

He continued to wander around in this workshop and saw that the processing of depleted uranium alloys before heat treatment was not difficult, so he was more relieved.Perhaps the production of depleted uranium armor-piercing bombs in the future will only be possible here. It is not a good thing for ordinary workers to come into contact with these radioactive materials without protection.

After finishing the inspection here, I returned to the right side again. On this side is the graphene research laboratory, which is also only two to three hundred square meters. As Liu Su said, the things inside are basically for ten years. No progress.

Liu Yijiu wants to obtain a large number of graphene films, or materials made of graphene films, there is no possibility at all. The only thing is that they can use the graphene they hand-produced to make some carbon tubes. This can be regarded as the research result of the past ten years.

Usually, Liu Suxue's research mainly lies in the research and understanding of the various properties of graphene, which is an anti-sky material.For large-scale preparation processes, because there are not too many results on the use of graphene, it is not so urgently needed.

Regarding such a situation, Liu Yijiu knew that he could not be eager.

Even if he knew about the cheap large-scale preparation process of graphene, he would not say it now.

"The nuclear power plant inside has a design power of 500mw. The main power-consuming consumer is some research on the Terras project. The electricity used in the entire base has tripled since last year, but it can only be carried out by the nuclear power plant inside. Less than 20% of the low-power operation, the nuclear fuel stored in it, according to the current usage, can be used for at least 30 years..." In the end, continue to walk into the mountain, it is estimated that it is far from the most facing hole. At a distance of more than a thousand meters, between the innermost reactor and the outer area, there is a reinforced concrete wall up to six meters thick. It is said that several layers of five-millimeter-thick lead plates have been installed inside to emit radiation.

"Why don't we have a cooling tower? Or maybe we have a normal temperature controllable nuclear reactor?" Liu Yijiu was very puzzled about this, "Is the cooling water inside really sent to the various areas of the main base next to it?"

There was only a huge reactor tens of meters high in the middle. Liu Yijiu didn't want to go in and see what was going on inside.

It stands to reason that for a 500mw nuclear power plant, the cooling tower will be larger. If this one is a cooling tower, then it is impossible to have such a large power inside.

At the same time, Liu Yijiu remembers that Wang Shunyi once told him that the 24-hour uninterrupted hot water supply in the base comes from the nuclear power plant in the base.

"It was indeed transported from here. The cooling tower, you can see the surrounding area..." Liu Suxue pointed to the surrounding cave wall for Liu Yijiu to see.

Liu Yijiu looked in the direction of his fingers, and immediately stayed.

Inside the small cave, there are actually a circle of copper pipes with a diameter of more than ten centimeters!

How much does it cost!

"This cave is the cooling tower, and the steam turbine and generator set are in another direction to reduce the impact of noise on the next laboratory room."

Liu Yijiu shook his head and threw the shock out of his mind.

Regarding the layout inside, he didn't want to express any opinions. Although the various functional areas do not seem to be very ideal, the protective measures and considerations are all in place.

"Where is the generator set? Let's go and see?" Liu Yijiu didn't know where the central control room was. What he wanted to see was the steam turbine and generator set.

In this regard, steam turbines are the weak point of the Republic. In the following, many conventionally powered warships use steam turbines.

Both Harbin Auto and the Dongfang Steam Turbine Plant in Deyang initially produced steam turbines, not gas turbines.The production of gas turbines seems to have to wait for many years to introduce Alstom's technology.

Leading Liu Yijiu towards the back of the reactor, he saw a small door with a height of more than two meters and a width much narrower than the door that came in.

Opening the door, it turned out to be some steps carved out of stones, directly going up.The steps of each step must be at least 30 or 40 centimeters. I don't know what the designer thinks, it is too tiring to walk.

I don't know how much manpower and material resources are spent on the project inside.

Although a large part of it is a natural cave at the beginning, Liu Yijiu really does not understand that even if a nuclear power plant is built, it can be built outside. It is surrounded by vast mountains. There is no need to hide the nuclear power plant Inside the cave.

But thinking of the nuclear power plant in a cave on the other side of the mountain city that he had decrypted later, he was relieved.

Along the steps, I walked up fifty or sixty steps, the height rose at least 20 meters, only to see a small platform of only more than ten square meters, surrounded by rocks, there is no decoration or anything outside. Two black nbs holding 77 automatic rifles stood guard.

"This is the central control room of the nuclear power plant. It is 20 meters higher than the nuclear power plant. The thickness of the rock layer in the middle is more than 20 meters. If there is a leak inside, the stone on the door can fall down..." On the platform, Liu Suxue introduced Liu Yijiu.

Xie Heping on one side didn't speak much from the beginning, as if he didn't know much about the situation here.

Entering the control room, Liu Yijiu was really shocked.

Compared to the non-sci-fi environment in the entire base, it feels like it has entered the space age from the primitive age.

In the entire room, there are countless monitors about the size of a 24-inch TV. Not only are they hung on the surrounding walls, they are also lined up on neat rows of consoles.

If it weren't for the shape that protrudes more strongly, he would think that it was a central control room from the future era.

"The supercomputer inside is better than the one in the base. It is American. Most of the parts are from the United States. The calculation speed is 5 million times per second. It is mainly used to monitor and control the entire power station. Run..." Liu Suxue's words caused Liu Yijiu, who had not recovered yet, into a sluggish state again!

He was looking for computer talents everywhere, and it was obviously impossible to get less.

This power station has been established many years ago, although the Republic will be able to produce an integrated circuit computer-hds-9 that operates 5 million times per second by next year, and Wang chose the first laser imagesetter to produce sample books. But this is not a few years ago.

"Is the technical team that designed this computer the people in our base?" Liu Yijiu asked Liu Suxue eagerly.

Even Xie Heping leaked an incredible look.

The girl Li Rui didn't understand these things at all, she couldn't be shocked by these things.If you get some guns, some cannons will probably shock her.

"On this side, Xiao Zhihe is the person in charge, who is back from the United States. You can take him to the base over there. I only have a few people responsible for maintenance." Liu Suxue seems to know that Liu Yijiu wants to What to say, before he could speak, let Liu Yijiu take the people away.

Xiao Zhihe is not here at the moment, so he plans to wait until Liu Yijiu understands the situation inside before introducing it.

"Just look at those steam turbines. They are all honest, even many of them were removed from their scrap warships. If they are more advanced in the future, the entire base will not know. Anyway, we are also part of the base... …"

Liu Suxue sighed.

This is the situation in the base. Various supporting facilities are relatively complete, but in terms of technology, it is still very backward.

"Then there is nothing to watch..." Liu Yijiu also sighed.

He is hungry.
