Siheyuan: Grassroots Counterattack

Time passed quickly in the busyness. One day, Li Tianyi was drawing in the workshop when the major comrade who had picked him up earlier suddenly came to inform him that the equipment and machinery had arrived, and the nuclear fuel Li Tianyi needed was also in place. Could he enter now?

Li Tianyi took a look at the factory building blueprint in his hand, and then said to the major: "Comrade Li, you can arrange for them to come in."

Major Li saluted Li Tianyi, then went out to arrange for people to move things into the factory.

Li Tianyi was directing the soldiers on the side, asking them to place the equipment according to his requirements.

At this time, the researchers and Li Tianyi's students who came on the train also arrived at the workshop. Li Tianyi then breathed a sigh of relief and handed the drawings in his hand to them, asking them to place the machines according to the design on the drawings.

In this way, Li Tianyi was busy for nearly two days before he connected all the equipment. Then it was time for the nuclear fuel. This thing has radiation, so it is placed in lead boxes.

After all the boxes were transported into the workshop, Li Tianyi and others all put on protective clothing, and then everyone carefully placed the fuel in the container. Only when the lid of the container was sealed did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

The subsequent nuclear reaction will take place in this container, and the heat energy will be converted into electrical energy through the machine next to it. As long as they can last for a week, their experiment will be considered a success.

It's just that you need to be extra careful when placing the nuclear fuel, so it took three days just to do this.

After everything was ready, Li Tianyi gave the staff in the workshop three days off. They had been working intensively these past few days, and this would not work. Besides, the only thing left was ignition, and they could not be careless at all.

He requires all staff involved in the experiment to have a positive attitude towards this work.

Li Tianyi took Xiao Zhou out of the military area during the holiday to experience the delicious food of the Northwest.

There are several towns near the military area, so every few days, the spontaneously organized mats in these towns will be opened.

On the mat, Li Tianyi ate the special baked buns, naan, and clay pot lamb. Of course, there were many other delicious foods, and Li Tianyi tried almost all of them.

During these three days, Xiao Zhou also benefited from Li Tianyi and had a great time. Other people have been here as well. Now that the market is open, you don't need a ticket to buy things. The meat that you could only eat in dreams or during the Chinese New Year before, you can now eat it if you have money.

If this place wasn't too far from Sijiu City and they didn't know how long they would have to stay here, many people in Li Tianyi's research institute would want to buy some and bring them back to Sijiu City for their families to try.

The happy three days passed quickly, and everyone came to the workshop in high spirits. Today everyone wore protective clothing. On the second floor, Li Tianyi, the commander of the military region, people from the Military Commission of Sijiu City, and academicians from the Academy of Sciences stood in front of the glass together.

Although the Academy of Sciences was not very impressed with the controlled nuclear reaction developed by their former colleague, and they did not believe that Li Tianyi could develop it, they had no choice but to come because their superiors had given the order.

Downstairs, the staff checked again and again whether the machine was functioning properly, whether the container was sealed tightly, etc.

Li Tianyi looked at his watch. There were still five minutes before ignition. Li Tianyi told the people below to hurry out of the test site through the radio. They only had 5 minutes to evacuate.

The people downstairs hurried out and soon they were all evacuated. Li Tianyi looked at his watch and started the countdown. When he shouted zero, his hand pressed the ignition button.

The temperature gauge on the nuclear reactor container downstairs began to rise in an instant, and Li Tianyi's equipment was also monitoring the temperature of the container at all times.

This ignition is divided into three stages. The first stage is ignition, which is to ensure that the nuclear reaction fuel can be ignited. The second stage is to raise the temperature to an intermediate value after the nuclear reaction fuel has burned for a period of time, and then burn it for a period of time; the third stage is to directly raise the temperature to the highest value and observe the reaction of the nuclear reactor.

If the nuclear reactor is stable, it can carry out energy conversion, converting thermal energy into electrical energy.

This process is easy to say but quite difficult to do. Nuclear reactors are not controllable by humans. Li Tianyi changed the core technology so that he could test whether it could be controlled by humans.

Seeing that the ignition was successful, Li Tianyi announced the good news through the radio. The whole audience cheered in an instant, and the people on the second floor were also cheered up and showed joy on their faces.

Only Li Tian looked solemn. When others asked him the reason, he didn't say anything. Now that things have come to this, saying more would only make others worry.

There is no need for so many people here now. They can come here at this time tomorrow to watch the second phase of the experiment.

So Li Tianyi arranged several people to take turns watching the machine, and they could call him if anything happened. Then Li Tianyi took the people on the second floor back to the guesthouse.

The next morning, after Li Tianyi finished his meal, he immediately came to the workshop and first asked whether there were any changes in the container. After learning that everything was normal, Li Tianyi asked the people on duty to go and rest first.

But these people refused to do so. They didn't want to miss such a historic moment. Li Tianyi had no choice but to let them go eat first as it was still too early for the second phase of the trial.

These people then walked out obediently. Then Li Tianyi checked the values ​​on the equipment. The values ​​did not change much during the day and were within an acceptable range.

Gradually, more and more people came to the workshop, and those who were on the second floor yesterday had also arrived. They first talked about the current situation of the nuclear reaction, and then talked about possible accidents.

Time passed unknowingly, and it was finally time for the second phase of the test. Li Tianyi first asked everyone to stay away from the test site through the broadcast, and then pressed the button. In an instant, the value on the container soared.

As the temperature soared, the values ​​on the equipment began to become unstable. Li Tianyi quickly began to operate and check where the problem was.

However, as the temperature rose, the values ​​became increasingly unstable, and Li Tianyi had no choice but to turn off the engine.

No one in the room dared to disturb Li Tianyi. They watched Li Tianyi operating the equipment with his fingers flying. Until the container made a cooing sound and the red light on the top of the container stopped flashing, Li Tianyi collapsed in the chair. Then everyone dared to come over and ask what happened.

Li Tianyi waved his hand first, then picked up the cup beside him and drank a sip of water. Then he said, "This test was not successful. As the temperature increased, the pressure in the container began to become unstable, so I turned off the reactor. After the temperature drops, we will thoroughly check all the equipment."
