I accidentally got a two-way foil in my second level civilization

Chapter 32: Select the site at Canghai Bay



After the demonstration reactor project was approved, Lü Yongchang, as the chief engineer, once again felt the long - lost sense of busyness.

The first problem to be solved was the site - selection for the demonstration reactor.

Similar to nuclear fission reactors, the construction environment of a nuclear fusion reactor also needed to be carefully considered.

The first and most important point was this.

There had to be a large amount of water resources nearby.

Whether it was fresh water or seawater.

After all, during the power - generation process of a nuclear fusion reactor, a large amount of heat would be generated. Currently, the most economical and practical way was to use the nearby water resources for cooling.

The second point was that the terrain should be flat.

A large number of supporting facilities needed to be built for the nuclear fusion reactor!

Surely these supporting facilities couldn't be built in a gully.

The third point, and the most troublesome one in the site - selection process, was this.

The geological conditions had to be stable!

Although a nuclear fusion reactor wasn't as dangerous as a nuclear fission reactor, due to deuterium - tritium fusion, in case of a leak, there would still be a small amount of radiation hazards.

Considering safety factors, a controlled nuclear fusion reactor was best built in an area with stable geological conditions.

That is to say, a nuclear fusion reactor must never be built near an earthquake zone!

After repeated screenings, Lü Yongchang set his sights on a treasured location.

Canghai Bay!

The main reason why a nuclear fission power plant wasn't built in Canghai Bay originally was due to its geographical location.

If an accident occurred at the nuclear fission power plant in Canghai Bay, nuclear - contaminated wastewater would accumulate in Canghai Bay for a long time!

This would pose a huge security risk to Xia Country!

But a nuclear fusion power plant basically had no such risk.

In case of an accident, if the magnetic confinement device of the stellarator stopped operating, the nuclear fusion reaction inside would also stop quickly.

As for radioactive hazards...

This was the biggest difference between nuclear fusion and nuclear fission!

For nuclear fission, both the raw materials and fission products had extremely strong radioactivity.

Even the nuclear wastewater contained a large amount of radioactive substances.

But nuclear fusion was different.

Even though the current fusion method was deuterium - tritium fusion, among the fusion raw materials and fusion products, only tritium atoms contained a small amount of radioactivity.

This was completely controllable!

What's more... in Lü Yongchang's plan, deuterium - tritium fusion was only temporary. The ultimate goal was helium - 3 fusion, which was known as clean energy!

...

With the reactor site selected, the specific construction plan for the controlled nuclear fusion demonstration reactor was also finalized.

"Construction Plan for the Controlled Nuclear Fusion Demonstration Reactor"

A document was quietly released.

The biggest highlight of this document was the total man - hours required for this construction plan.

Three months!

From the completion of site - selection to the completion of reactor construction, everything, according to Xia Country's plan, only needed three months!

When this document was dug out by those with a discerning eye, the whole of Xia Country was in an uproar!

On the Weibo hot - search list, Wang Feng, who was about to hold 16 consecutive concerts, was forcefully pushed down from the top of the hot - search list before he could even sit firmly.

#Total Man - hours: Three Months!#

#The Construction - Crazy Country is Back!#

#Speed of Xia Country!#

This series of hot - searches not only startled Wang Feng but also shocked the netizens who were enjoying the gossip on Weibo.

"Ah? Three months? Is there a mistake? It takes three months just to lay the foundation of my house!"

"(With a sarcastic smile emoji) Upstairs, do you think the country would make a mistake in such an important document?"

"Hahaha! The one above clearly doesn't know Xia Country's title in the international community! Do you know what 'the construction - crazy country' means.JPG!"

"The United States: Don't believe or spread rumors..."

With the help of some enthusiastic netizens, a few hours later, a huge wave was also set off on Twitter.

"What the fuck??? Three months?"

"Jesus! Xia Country is crazy!"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"Can a large - scale project like this be completed in three months? In our country, three months isn't even enough for workers to mix cement!"

This comment was obviously from a netizen in Western Europe who loved to stir up trouble.

After all, for Western Europe, where it took ten years to build a road, the construction speed of Xia Country was like a myth!

These comments on Twitter were naturally moved back to Weibo in Xia Country intact.

For a while, Weibo was filled with laughter.

Of course, while countless citizens of Xia Country were shocked and cheering, there were always some so - called "fifty - cent army" trying to find faults.

"Impossible! I don't believe it!"

"Seeing is believing, hearing is deceiving. Just because it's written in the document doesn't mean it's true, does it?"

"After the three - month deadline, they'll just take a random photo to fool netizens and then build it slowly. This kind of thing isn't unheard - of!"

"..."

It has to be said that this generation of official accounts is really powerful!

In response to the doubts of these netizens, the official Weibo account of the News of Xia Country posted a Weibo on the same day.

"Starting tomorrow, the official Douyin account of the News of Xia Country will launch a live - streaming function.

"The construction site of the Canghai Bay Controlled Nuclear Fusion Demonstration Reactor will be broadcast live in the live - stream room.

"Welcome all netizens to supervise the work."

As soon as the Weibo was posted, the number of comments exploded!

"666!"

"The official is reliable. When there are trolls, they really fight back!"

"不说了各位,I'm setting my alarm for tomorrow right away. I have to at least send a virtual gift worth a lot to celebrate!"

"Damn, big shot 666!"

"Big shot, transfer me 50 yuan. I haven't eaten for three days!"

"..."

At 8 a.m. the next day.

Countless netizens gathered in the official Douyin live - stream room of the News of Xia Country.

On the black screen, comments scrolled by rapidly.

"Where is everyone? Open the door! You have the guts to live - stream but not to show the scene?!"

"It's 8 o'clock! Open up, open up!"

The next moment, the pitch - black screen suddenly lit up!

When the brightness of the camera gradually returned to balance, the scene of the Canghai Bay Fusion Reactor construction site suddenly came into view.

Thousands of excavators were neatly lined up on the left side of the camera!

On the right side of the camera were thousands of construction vehicles responsible for various construction tasks!

In the center of the camera were several huge dynamic compactors!

After a brief pause, the number of bullet comments in the live - stream room increased exponentially!

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

"Is this the power of a major industrial country? I love it!"

The next moment, a voice - over appeared. It was a slightly sweet female voice.

"Hello, dear viewers. This is the construction site of the Canghai Bay Fusion Demonstration Reactor.

"Today is the first day of construction. What you can see in front of you is the first construction team.

"In order to ensure the construction speed, there are a total of three construction teams for this demonstration reactor construction task.

"Over the next three months, the three construction teams will take turns to build the Canghai Bay Fusion Demonstration Reactor 24 hours a day!"

As the voice faded, the number of bullet comments in the live - stream room increased significantly again!

"Three construction teams!"

"Miss, show your face! Don't just talk!"

"..."

Under the "supervision" of a large number of netizens, the dynamic compactor of the fusion demonstration reactor project struck the first blow!
