Chapter 521 Hand-Rubbing Reactor
Mr. Fei was horrified and shouted, "Quick, pull County Chief Lin out!"
But there was no one around, so he took off his clothes and was about to go into the water himself. Yang Shaohu grabbed him and said, "Don't go!"
"Your County Chief Lin fell down!"
Yang Shaohu smiled and said, "Don't make a fuss. County Magistrate Lin never does anything without confidence."
Mr. Fei said anxiously, "Although the nuclear reactor hasn't started working yet, we don't know if the outer insulation layer of the nuclear fuel is damaged. There may be strong radiation underwater. Get him out quickly!"
Yang Shaohu tilted his ear slightly, as if listening to something, but Mr. Fei clearly saw that his ears were empty and there was no headset at all.
"Yeah, yeah, I get it."
As if hanging up the phone, Yang Shaohu turned around and said with a smile, "Mr. Fei, don't worry. County Magistrate Lin said he's fine. The underwater nuclear fuel has not leaked and is packaged intact. He is repairing the grid of the core frame."
Mr. Fei and his assistant stood there like fools, and it took them a long time to come back to their senses.
"This... Deputy County Chief Yang, how did County Chief Lin talk to you?"
Yang Shaohu smiled and said, "It's a quantum wave communicator, unique to County Chief Lin. It's a high-tech product that can achieve real-time communication without the need for a receiver."
"quantum?"
Mr. Fei emphasized these two words.
"Quantum theory is a completely unproven hypothesis, and you actually created a communicator based on this theory?"
The assistant shouted, "That's impossible! You must be lying! Quantum theory was proposed by our teacher. It has many loopholes and contradictions. It's completely incomplete."
Yang Shaohu shrugged. "Sorry, I don't understand science very well, but County Chief Lin does. We've used this thing many times."
The two stopped talking. Mr. Fei's eyes sparkled, and he was determined to wait for County Governor Lin to come up and uncover his secrets.
Underwater.
With the help of [Fish and Water Harmony], Lin Wen swam rapidly to the bottom of the pool.
The dense tingling sensation on his skin was telling Lin Wen that there was nuclear radiation here.
But it doesn't matter. Nuclear radiation is classified as a curse in the classification of immortal cultivation. Lin Wen used a [Rejuvenation Technique] and there was no problem at all.
A moment later, Lin Wen saw the damaged core grid and the nuclear fuel donated by the Qin Group scattered on the bottom of the pool.
The insulating outer layer of some nuclear fuel has been broken, so there is nuclear radiation.
After careful observation, Lin Wen believed that the core frame should be repaired first.
The core of a nuclear reactor is an annular chamber made of ceramic components. The upper part is composed of three loading pipes for loading new nuclear fuel, and the lower part is composed of three unloading pipes for unloading spent nuclear fuel.
The master who lifted the core was obviously a novice. There were obvious signs of collision and cracks in many places on the core. A part of the bottom collapsed, and the grid of the core frame was damaged beyond recognition. It was obviously not just a problem of lifting. From manufacturing to transportation, everything was unqualified.
However, the core should not be damaged when it is installed.
Mr. Fei then began to load nuclear fuel from the loading tube, which was the last straw that broke the camel's back.
The nuclear fuel overwhelmed the already battered core grid and spilled onto the bottom of the light water pool.
When Mr. Fei discovered that the discharge pipe could not unload the material, he immediately realized that something serious had happened.
But who would dare to go down to a malfunctioning nuclear reactor?
Lin Wen dared.
"Haha, this kind of question is easy for me."
Lin Wen swam down despite the nuclear radiation. The warm water wrapped around him, and he felt like soaking in a hot spring, very comfortable.
"Wow... I feel like my spirit has recovered a little. I hope I can come and swim again when I have time."
Lin Wen picked up the broken pieces from the bottom of the pool and pieced them back together on the core, like a jigsaw puzzle.
This process is very interesting and Lin Wen never gets tired of it.
But happiness is always short-lived. In just a moment, the core was reassembled. However, at present, only the shape has been restored. As soon as it bears any weight, its original shape will be revealed.
Lin Wen pressed the core with one hand and activated [Turning Earth into Stone]. The frame was made of ceramic, which was suitable for this spell.
All earthenware products are suitable for this spell, especially ceramics made from fired earth.
The material specifications of the core are relatively high, and one spell cannot complete the entire enhancement. Lin Wen used two spells to restore the core to its original state.
Afterwards, Lin Wen manually loaded the nuclear fuel into the grids of the core frame one by one, and found the control rod that had fallen to the bottom of the pool and broken.
These are neutron-absorbing rods made of boron and boron carbide that are used to control the rate of nuclear reactions.
Lin Wen activated his [Qi Jin Divine Power], rubbed the broken sticks together, and inserted them into the core.
In this way, a complete light water nuclear reactor is ready to go.
Lin Wen used [Thousand Miles Voice Transmission] to tell Yang Shaohu, "The core has been repaired. It just has a minor problem. I can fix it with a touch."
Yang Shaohu replied through the [Sky Ear Technique]: "Great."
Mr. Fei shouted from the side: "Hurry up and get County Magistrate Lin up."
Yang Shaohu: "Chief Lin, please come up quickly."
Lin Wen asked: "Any other questions?"
Yang Shaohu: "Chief Lin asked if you have any other questions?"
Mr. Fei said: "The reactor seal is substandard, but this is not something that can be solved now."
The reactor is a light water pool. Lin Wen pressed his hand on the pool wall and used the [Turn Soil into Stone] technique to reinforce all the cracks.
Lin Wen: "I passed."
Yang Shaohu: "I passed."
Mr. Fei asked in confusion, "What do you mean by qualified?"
Lin Wen: "The reactor seal has passed the test. We can now begin trial operation."
Yang Shaohu repeated Lin Wen's words.
Mr. Fei exclaimed, "A trial run? No way! How can this be possible? Quickly get County Magistrate Lin up here!"
But Lin Wen had already manually torn off the insulating layer of the nuclear fuel. This was supposed to be done by a machine, but after the nuclear fuel fell to the bottom of the water, the machine could no longer complete this task.
After all the insulating layers of nuclear fuel are torn off, the nuclear radiation instantly becomes many times stronger, and light water may not be able to completely block the radiation.
Lin Wen shouted, "Get out of the protective circle! The nuclear radiation has begun!"
Yang Shaohu repeated his grade.
Mr. Fei couldn't believe his ears and shouted frantically, "What's going on? What is County Magistrate Lin doing?"
Lin Wen said, "Drag Mr. Fei out and have him operate the reactor and observe the data."
Mr. Fei shouted frantically, "No, no! This is science? This is science, Sheriff Lin? This is nonsense! The control rods are nowhere to be found. If the reactor is ignited without being reset, the nuclear reaction will be uncontrollable and the reactor core will melt down!"
Mr. Fei's assistant also shouted: "The melted core will sink into the ground and become a huge source of pollution. If there is an underground river, the entire water system will be finished!"
But Lin Wen had manually activated the neutron source and ignited the reactor. The strong nuclear radiation and the rapidly rising water temperature made Lin Wen feel very comfortable, and the feeling of soaking in a hot spring returned.
[Qi Jin Shenli] has super strong heat protection ability.
【Rejuvenation】is a powerful curse remover.
To Lin Wen, there is no difference between a nuclear reactor and a hot spring.
You can also operate the reactor yourself.
"Hmm... the reaction speed is a little too fast. The control stick should be moved two centimeters to the left."
"No, no, the reaction is faster. It should move half a centimeter to the right."
"Uh, one more centimeter forward."
Lin Wen repeatedly moved the control rod of the nuclear reactor like a child playing with mud until it was placed in the correct position, and told Fermi the parameters of this position.
Fermi, who was already in the main control room, strongly suspected that something was wrong with the world while quickly recording various data.
People were running around frantically in the main control room. All of Fermi's assistants came and were busy performing various operations.
"Hurry up, water circulation!"
"The light water is about to boil!"
"Hot swap, hot swap!"
"No, we have to seal the roof! The boiling light water will bring nuclear contamination out of the reactor."
“Pressure, pressure!”
"The pressure test is normal, no side leakage!"
"The generator set isn't safe yet! What should I do with the steam generated by the heat exchange?"
"Vent it through the pressure relief valve and into the sky!"
Yang Shaohu watched them busy and nervously, without worrying at all, because County Chief Lin's voice in his ears was always heavy and powerful, as if he was speaking with his mouth closed.
After a while.
"Everything is fine!"
"The nuclear reactor is running!"
“We did it!”
"yeah!"
The entire control room was filled with cheers!
Fermi suddenly came to his senses and grabbed Yang Shaohu: "Where is County Chief Lin?"
The assistant also came to his senses: "Oh no! We've reached the top! County Governor Lin is still in there!"
"That's super-high-temperature water under super-high pressure!"
Just as he was panicking, Lin Wen walked in from outside. He had changed into dry clothes, his hair was wet, and his face was rosy, as if he had just taken a hot spring bath.
"You're looking for me? The nuclear reactor was successful, right?"
Fermi and his assistants looked as if they had seen a ghost. Fermi trembled and said, "Lin, County Chief Lin? How did you get out?"
Lin Wen smiled and said, "Aren't you the founder of quantum theory? After reading your theory, I created a wall-penetrating technique...er, machine...that uses the principle of quantum tunneling."
Fermi's assistant exclaimed: "This is impossible... You are not scientific at all..."
Lin Wen said unhappily, "Why is it unscientific?"
Open your arms as if embracing the world.
"Everything in this world is a quantum probability cloud. Everything is probability, everything is possible... Isn't that what your teacher said? Isn't it perfectly normal for me to transform into a quantum cloud, pass through a nuclear reactor, and then coalesce into a human?"
The assistants were stunned: "Is this normal?"
Fermi was surprised and asked, "Did I say that?"
Lin Wen nodded: "You said so."
Fermi asked bewilderedly, "Have you ever heard me give a lecture or a speech?" He had given so many speeches that he couldn't remember them all.
Lin Wen answered confidently: "Yes, I remember it very clearly."
"Oh..." Fermi scratched his head, as if I did say that.
The assistant suddenly exclaimed: "Are you still experiencing nuclear radiation?"
Lin Wen smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've specially treated it. I used iodine to clean it, and there's no residue at all."
Only then did everyone feel relieved.
Fermi exclaimed, "It's incredible that the reactor could be repaired after such a major accident... Not only that, after the repair, we expected it to take another six months to a year to debug the reactor, but we didn't expect it to be debugged successfully in just an hour."
"Changshan County is truly a place full of miracles. I feel like my science will achieve a major breakthrough here."
Lin Wen smiled and said, "Congratulations in advance, Mr. Fei."
The assistant said, "Mr. Fei, there's one last step left. We haven't shut down the reactor yet."
Fermi woke up and said, "Yes, there is also a shutdown."
Shutdown of a nuclear reactor involves inserting safety rods to largely isolate the neutron source, causing the nuclear reaction to gradually cease.
There were no problems with this step.
Under Fermi's operation, the safety rod was successfully inserted into the center of the core.
The nuclear reaction rate dropped rapidly, the water temperature dropped rapidly, and soon there was no steam in the heat exchange container.
Even greater cheers erupted in the main control room.
This proves that the main construction of the nuclear power plant has been completed.
What remains is a mature power plant system. As long as the pipelines are connected and the generator sets are installed, the world's first nuclear power plant can be officially put into operation.
Mr. Fei was overjoyed. He didn't expect to make such a big breakthrough as soon as he arrived in Changshan County. This made him feel more guilty about betraying the Qin Group.
But when he thought that the second in command of Changshan County was the eldest daughter of the Qin Group, as long as County Chief Lin and Miss Qin were combined into one, Changshan County would strictly speaking be a branch of the Qin Group, and this sense of guilt disappeared.
Even more motivated.
This long-lost joy made Mr. Fei's long-dormant inspiration surge. He felt full of energy, as if he was about to make a breakthrough.
For a moment, even County Chief Lin didn't pay much attention. Mr. Fei rushed into his laboratory to continue his theoretical research, wanting to keep all his inspiration.
Assistants are busy organizing the harvest, analyzing data, and consolidating the experience gained.
In the end, it was Yang Shaohu who sent Lin Wen out alone.
Yang Shaohu felt a little embarrassed. "Chief Lin, don't mind. They are all workaholics. That's what scientists are like."
Lin Wen didn't mind at all. Instead, he was extremely happy. Changshan County finally had some real scientists.
Once he establishes the Changshan County Science Research Institute, no one will say he is unscientific anymore, and the rumors that County Chief Lin uses magic to create miracles will soon disappear.
Changshan County will be able to truly embark on the path of science and achieve sustainable development even after he leaves in the future.
Ha ha.
I have taken another solid step forward on my path to becoming an immortal.
