Lin Xuan and Professor Bai came to the laboratory together.
The researchers in the laboratory had already begun to prepare for the experiment according to the contents written on the draft paper by Lin Xuan!
Lin Xuan and Professor Bai also joined the preparations before the experiment!
During the preparation process, every researcher looked excited and expectant.
Everyone was busy, not even resting!
If this experiment was successful, they would witness the biggest experimental breakthrough in nuclear power engine research in the past few years!
"Professor, the preparations for the experiment are all ready!”
After a few hours of work, Xiao Zhao jogged over and said to Professor Bai.
"Then let's officially begin this experiment!”Professor Bai could not suppress his excitement and announced.
As soon as Professor Bai finished speaking, the researchers almost couldn't wait to take action at the same time!
"The temperature is normal!"
" Reaction speed normal!"
" Critical value stabilized!"
"Neutron slowing efficiency is stable!"
" Nuclear reaction threshold is stable!"
"After testing, the critical value of the stable nuclear reaction of Am-241 is 8.97!”
……
Under the laboratory conditions, the final nuclear reaction critical value displayed on the instrument was the same as the critical value calculated by Lin Xuan previously, 8.97!
Moreover, the critical value of the reaction had always been stable at this value. There was no unstable situation such as subcritical or critical!
"It's a success!"
Professor Bai couldn't help but exclaim excitedly,"It really worked!"”
Professor Bai did not expect that a difficult problem that he had been stuck with for three years would cost him at least three years in the future!
With Lin Xuan's addition, it was completely resolved in just a few hours!
This was simply a leap in progress and breakthrough!
It could even be said that at this stage, they were only a few steps away from the final success of the nuclear reaction engine!
Not only Professor Bai, but everyone in the laboratory was also cheering!
"Professor Bai, it's a success!"
" Professor Lin is really too strong!"
All the researchers surrounded Lin Xuan excitedly and looked at him with admiration!
They did not expect Lin Xuan to be so young and actually be able to bring them to such a huge breakthrough!
Seeing how excited everyone was, Professor Bai smiled and said to everyone,"Everyone probably can't imagine that our Lin Xuan, Professor Lin, is actually a student of our National Science and Technology University!”
What was that?
Professor Lin was a student?
The researchers were stunned!
Heavens?
It turned out that Lin Xuan, who they had always called a professor, was still a student?
After a short moment of shock, the researchers present were even more excited as they said to Lin Xuan,
"Professor Lin, I couldn't tell!"
"I admire you! Professor Lin, I'm really convinced now!”
"He really knelt down!"
……
After the researchers knew that Lin Xuan was a student of the National University of Science and Technology, they still did not change their way of addressing him. They still called him Professor Lin, and they even called him more fluently!
Facing everyone's praise, Lin Xuan smiled and said,"Actually, the success of this experiment is not only due to me, but also to everyone's hard work. I have to thank Professor Bai and everyone.”
Seeing that Lin Xuan was so young and had made such a huge research breakthrough, he was still not arrogant or impatient.
Professor Bai and the researchers looked at Lin Xuan with even more admiration and admiration!
At this moment, Professor Bai took a deep breath and looked at the laboratory data. His eyes were still filled with excitement as he said,"Now that the critical value of the nuclear reaction has been determined, what we need to determine next is the nuclear radiation shielding material!”
Lin Xuan nodded in agreement and said,"Although the reaction volume of Am is smaller than Uranium-235, it is also milder and more stable. It won't melt like Uranium, but nuclear radiation shielding is still a very important issue!”
"After all, the nuclear reaction of Am is very unique! If this problem wasn't solved, it would be difficult to sustain the working hours of nuclear engines in the future!”
The reason why nuclear radiation shielding was needed was because nuclear power engines were very precise engines.
It contained many very sophisticated electronic components.
Since these electronic components were so precise, it meant that they were very fragile.
As the material for nuclear reactions, if they were to carry out a nuclear reaction in the core of the engine, it meant that a large number of neutrons and high-energy rays would be released!
These neutrons and high-energy rays were simply fatal to the precision electronics!
For example, after the explosion of the Chelnobel nuclear power plant, any helicopter that got close to it would lose control!
The robots sent to the top to clean up the nuclear reaction could not last more than a minute.
This was the destructive power of the neutrons and high-energy rays in the nuclear reaction process!
Even though the small nuclear reactor had been slowed down by neutrons, it was still inevitable that neutrons and high-energy rays would leak out from the core reactor of the nuclear power engine!
Of course, other than the impact on electronic components, there was another reason why nuclear radiation shielding was necessary. In the future, when spacecraft were to carry people on flight, whether it was a space rocket or a fighter jet, the pilots and astronauts inside would also be affected by radiation!
Therefore, they needed to make a special nuclear radiation shield for the inner core!
To shield this portion of neutrons and high-energy rays!
He absolutely could not let a neutron or a high-energy ray leak out!
It was not an easy task to completely block nuclear radiation!
Before the formal experiment, a lot of calculations were still needed to find a material that could really block nuclear radiation!
After hearing Lin Xuan's words, Professor Bai thought for a moment and said to Lin Xuan,"Lin Xuan, this problem is indeed an urgent problem to be solved, but we don't need this time. Let's go. You must be hungry too! Let's chat while eating! I'll treat you!"
……
The problem of nuclear radiation shielding had not reached this stage even when Lin Xuan had performed the system simulation previously.
Among the knowledge given by the system previously, there was also relevant raw information, but Lin Xuan still needed to try to simulate and calculate again.
Although he estimated that it would take a little longer, Lin Xuan was not in a hurry.
After all, the general direction had been confirmed. With the system to simulate, the appearance of the nuclear engine was getting closer and closer!
As for Professor Bai, after eating with Lin Xuan, the first thing he did was to look for Principal Qin and ask Lin Xuan to join the project team!
After Principal Qin found out that Lin Xuan had helped Professor Bai make a breakthrough in his research, he was first shocked and then happy!
As for Professor Bai, he found out from Principal Qin that Lin Xuan had been specially taken care of by the military and that his research had been encrypted. He was even more shocked!
