Time flew by, and two weeks passed in the blink of an eye. Wu Hao basically spent these two weeks on various issues on how to perfect thermonuclear fusion power generation.
After many simulation experiments in his brain, Tian Wuhao finally determined a final manufacturing plan. If it is successfully constructed according to the plan in his mind.
Then this nuclear thermal reactor, plus a series of facilities such as related energy conversion and steam turbine generator sets, occupies a total volume of about the size of three containers.
The reactor device is a circular device about 2X2 meters, and the remaining other facilities are all energy conversion and related generating units.
However, the energy that this 2X2 meter reaction device can generate once it is fully operational is not low at all. According to Wu Hao's initial estimate, the entire reaction can generate 5 million degrees of power supply in one day when it is fully operational.
Such a huge amount of electricity is completely sufficient to meet the power supply needs of a medium and large city. In other words, as long as the construction of this fusion energy power generation facility is completed, Wuhao's base will not need to worry about energy supply issues in the future.
In fact, even if Wu Hao expands his base several times, it will be enough.
"Finally, all the design work has been completed, and then the formal construction work will begin." Although it took half a month more day and night to conduct research, the results are still very gratifying.
After all, it only took Wu Hao half a month to complete the scientific research results of more than ten to twenty years, or even longer.
The controllable nuclear fusion device developed by Wu Hao can not only be used to generate electricity. If it is used as a power source for warships, submarines and aircraft carriers, it will definitely be more powerful than the current nuclear-powered submarines and aircraft carriers that use fission technology. Powerful and safe.
Because, whether it is a nuclear submarine or a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, the nuclear reactors that maintain their power require a lot of manpower to do various tasks at all times.
Not only do they need to worry about the radiation threat posed by these fission reactors, but the power source is not comparable to that of fusion reactors. According to the same amount of raw materials for fission and fusion reactions, the energy produced by fusion is several times that of fission.
Now that the fusion reactor designed by Wu Hao also takes into account the lack of other manpower in the base, Wu Hao also plans to design an intelligent maintenance system.
That is to say, robots and intelligent programs are used to complete the daily power generation and maintenance work of nuclear fusion reactors. If there are any problems that cannot be solved by robots, the system will promptly feedback the problems and inform Wu Hao himself.
In this way, Wu Hao can know in time and deal with these problems personally.
Making robots is naturally not difficult for Wu Hao, because he is not trying to make a powerful and highly intelligent combat robot like Iron Man.
Wuhao only manufactures some industrial manufacturing and maintenance robots, which have already appeared in many modern factories and other fields.
Most of these robots are made of a simple mechanical arm and a smart chip, and Wu Hao is now manufacturing similar mechanical arms and robots with simple movement capabilities.
The role of these robots is to clean all parts of the base and manage and maintain various facilities when he is not at the base, so they only need to have a certain amount of intelligence.
However, the robot matter must be put aside first. The key is to manufacture the fusion reactor and the corresponding energy conversion device and steam turbine generator set first.
"Well! To make a fusion reactor, you need to assemble a simple 3D printing equipment." To build a reactor and other related steam turbine and generator equipment, you need many alloy metal parts.
Wu Hao didn't buy any finished metal parts. What he bought were basically some metal raw materials and some electronic components.
After all, electronic components are much more difficult to manufacture than metal parts, and manufacturing metal parts of various shapes is equally difficult for others.
But it is much simpler for Wu Hao. First, Wu Hao only needs to smelt the metal raw materials through the corresponding smelting equipment, and then cast it into shape with the cooperation of telekinesis. The remaining high-precision processing can be completely controlled by telekinesis. , such as drills, milling cutters, and other metal processing tools, for high-precision processing and shaping.
It can be said that Wu Hao's own telekinesis and mental perception capabilities, as well as the high computing power of his brain, are a unique ultra-high-precision, fully functional automated machine tool in the world.
His mental power is almost the power system that drives various tool knives to rotate and process, his mental perception is to control all the details of the entire processed parts, and his brain's ability is naturally the drawings and calculations formed in his mind.
Therefore, Wu Hao only needs to smelt these metals and shape them according to the formation of various parts. He only needs to assemble a simple 3D metal printing equipment to complete this function.
Nowadays, some advanced 3D metal printing equipment in the world can already directly print finished parts. For example, many parts of aircraft and aerospace equipment are 3D printed with metal.
However, this type of large-scale, high-precision 3D printing equipment is all controlled by the state, and it is almost impossible for private individuals to obtain it.
The parts and electronic components purchased by Wu Hao abroad are important components such as nozzles and laser equipment for this type of printing equipment.
Although these things are equally difficult to make, they are still much easier than a finished product.
Of course, in addition to printing metal materials, there are also 3D printing equipment for printing other materials, such as printing devices for composite materials such as plastics. The main things that this kind of printing equipment prints are the casings of some devices and a small number of other parts.
Now Wu Hao has no intention of directly manufacturing a complete 3D printing equipment, because with the current production capacity of his base, although it can be done, it is very troublesome and requires a lot of effort on his own. Do it.
What's more, even if he creates it, it will still require a lot of energy supply. The energy currently provided to the base is only a few diesel generator sets, which make a non-stop rumble once they are running.
Although Wu Hao created a special space for these diesel generator sets and took some sound insulation measures, a lot of noise could still be heard.
