Siheyuan: Grassroots Counterattack

Although it was a break, they only visited the military district's buildings in the morning. In the afternoon, they found Li Tianyi and wanted to ask Li Tianyi to give them a lecture on the application and promotion of small nuclear batteries.

Li Tianyi did not refuse their request, so an unconventional lecture began in Li Tianyi's room.

During the lecture, Li Tianyi also talked about the modification of the nuclear submarine tomorrow. This matter not only requires the help of Li Tianyi and his team, but also nuclear submarine experts.

The superiors have already taken this into consideration. The military region already has a national-level research institute with nuclear submarine experts in it. The superiors mean that tomorrow Li Tianyi needs to study with the nuclear submarine experts on how to reasonably and correctly install nuclear batteries into nuclear submarines.

In this way, a day's rest time passed, and the next morning, everyone came downstairs in high spirits. After having breakfast in the cafeteria, everyone waited in the lobby of the guesthouse for the military district to pick them up.

Soon a bus arrived at the guesthouse. Major Zhang got off the bus and asked Li Tianyi and others to get on.

Soon the bus drove out of the military area, passed through part of the city, and then drove onto the highway.

The car drove on the highway for about an hour, then got off the highway and drove onto a road.

When the car stopped, Li Tianyi found that they had arrived at the gate of a shipyard. There were soldiers with real guns guarding the gate of the shipyard. After Major Zhang got out of the car and negotiated with the sentry, the car drove into the shipyard smoothly.

The shipyard was very large and it took them twenty minutes to drive inside before they reached their destination.

Li Tianyi got out of the car and Major Zhang introduced them to each other. Li Tianyi shook hands with nuclear submarine expert Wang. Although he had never met him before, he had heard of expert Wang's name.

Li Tianyi and Expert Wang complimented each other for a few words, and then Expert Wang led them to a workshop.

When entering the workshop, the first thing he saw was a huge thing over 100 meters long placed in the workshop. This was the first time Li Tianyi saw a nuclear submarine. Previous nuclear submarines produced a large amount of water vapor through the combustion of nuclear fuel, and then converted it into electricity through converters to provide to the submarines.

Generally speaking, this type of nuclear submarine can dive continuously in the deep sea of ​​hundreds of thousands of tons for more than ten days or even months after refueling.

The explosion sounds no different from a controlled nuclear fusion reactor, but the nuclear reactors here are one controllable and one uncontrollable, so the safety issue here is of paramount importance.

Although Xinhua's nuclear submarines are equipped with missiles and other weapons and are powered by nuclear fuel, they do not have the ability to sail in the ocean because the nuclear reactors on nuclear submarines cannot be too large. A nuclear reactor that is too large will mean loss of control.

Expert Wang led Li Tianyi around the nuclear submarine, and then entered the submarine to observe the structure inside.

The nuclear submarine has a main cockpit, dining room, dormitory, leisure area, and ammunition depot, which also provides entertainment facilities for the crew who cannot surface for several months.

Of course, the most important area is the area where the nuclear reactor is located, which is sealed with layers of lead plates. Li Tianyi just took a look from the outside and then left.

After the visit, Li Tianyi had a rough idea in his mind. Then Li Tianyi took expert Wang to see the nuclear battery. At this time, the nuclear battery was not working. Li Tianyi would turn on the nuclear battery after it was installed.

Expert Wang was also amazed when he saw the nuclear battery. He was not informed of the reason for his visit before he came, he was just told to cooperate with Li Tianyi's work. Now seeing the nuclear battery, Mr. Wang was shocked.

He didn't expect that the New China had already achieved success in the controlled nuclear fusion reaction, which had not yet been mastered in the world, and had also developed nuclear batteries.

If nuclear batteries are really successful, they can completely replace the nuclear reactors and converters in nuclear submarines, which will save a lot of space for nuclear submarines.

At the same time, it can also effectively avoid the problem of nuclear reactor leakage, making the lives of soldiers on nuclear submarines more secure.

For this purpose, Mr. Wang specially consulted Li Tianyi. Li Tianyi affirmed Mr. Wang’s idea and said that nuclear batteries will be one of the main new energy sources in the future.

The work after that was simple. Mr. Wang and Li Tianyi directed the workers to transport the nuclear batteries into the nuclear submarine. As for the location, after discussion, Li Tianyi and Mr. Wang decided to temporarily place the batteries next to the main cab, and then isolate that place with steel plates.

Leave other places alone for the time being, and then go into the water for testing. As for the electricity generated by the nuclear reactor on the nuclear submarine, Mr. Wang finds a battery and directs all the electricity into the battery.

Then the submarine will mainly use the electricity from the nuclear battery, and then we will see the effect. This is also the result discussed by Mr. Wang and Li Tianyi.

Although it sounds simple, it is not easy to do. It took them 5 days to complete their idea.

After the nuclear submarine was modified, Mr. Wang contacted the military district immediately to apply for the nuclear submarine launching test, and he and Li Tianyi were to follow.

His proposal was not approved by the military region immediately. Both Mr. Wang and Li Tianyi are top scientists in the scientific research community and treasures of the country. If any accidents occur, no one can take the responsibility.

For this matter, the commander of the military region even came to the shipyard and talked with Mr. Wang and Li Tianyi for an hour.

Mr. Wang and Li Tianyi explained to the commander why they had to board the nuclear submarine. First-hand data was very important. They needed to discover the deficiencies between nuclear batteries and nuclear submarines in order to provide a basis for future modifications.

Finally, the commander was persuaded and agreed to their request, and informed them that the nuclear submarine would be officially launched tomorrow morning.

This time when going to the nuclear submarine, Li Tianyi did not bring anyone else with him and Mr. Wang. On the one hand, it was to keep it secret, and on the other hand, if something really happened, it would not implicate other people.

The next morning, the nuclear submarine was pulled out of the warehouse and slowly moved towards the port. It was only then that Li Tianyi realized that there was a port inside the shipyard for launching the submarine. It was usually closed and would only be opened when experiments were to be done.

At this time, all the personnel on the nuclear submarine had arrived and were waiting in line at the port. After the nuclear submarine was transported to the port, these people began to board the nuclear submarine one after another.

After all personnel had landed, two young soldiers helped Li Tianyi and Wang Lao enter the nuclear submarine.

Li Tianyi and Wang Lao stood in the cockpit, observing the situation outside through the glass. They felt their bodies shaken and the entire nuclear submarine entered the water. The waves generated around it hit the rocks on the shore.
