Agriculture Maniac

Chapter 269 Investigation and Suppression of Pirates

Two hours ago.

Lis Town Nuclear Power Plant, underground air-raid shelter.

Zheng Wang brought Professor Sun's inspection team to the No. 2 backup control room.

The tunnel-like space has many gates but is brightly lit.

The equipment displayed on both sides, as well as the various instruments and buttons on the equipment, are almost the same as the existing nuclear energy controllers in the East. Professor Sun can name them and explain their uses.

But in addition to computers, Sanyuan Agriculture’s controllers also have a series of digital display screens.

For example, a device that monitors the 'nuclear reactor core'.

Oriental uses a dial to display temperature, humidity, air pressure, radiation, etc.

Then arrange personnel to work at designated posts at regular times, take documents printed with standard values, copy the values ​​on the dials, and make comparisons.

On this basis, Sanyuan Agriculture set up relevant sensors, substituted the numerical values ​​into the microcomputer, and then summarized them on the screen to express "past values, current values, and predicted future values", and finally obtained an analog value.

For Professor Sun, Sanyuan Agriculture's approach is definitely feasible in theory.

However, in reality, it is difficult to achieve given the current level of science and technology in the world.

Because this involves the material of the sensor.

Like a PWR.

This is a completely sealed thing, filled with nuclear radiation, nuclear waste, and nuclear waste water.

Even if we use the best materials available today to make a temperature sensor, how can we ensure its service life after throwing it in there? How can we ensure its display accuracy? How can we extract its feedback value in a radiation environment?
Therefore, the pressure of the pressurized water reactor is generally set at 15.5MPa, which is about 152.97 standard atmospheric pressure.

The coolant inlet water temperature is 290 degrees Celsius. If it is higher than 330 degrees Celsius, release the pressure and drain the water.

In other words, the pressurized water reactor is controllable, yet uncontrollable.

What is controllable is that we can ensure that the pressure and temperature values ​​in the pressurized water reactor are maintained within a certain range by pressurizing, depressurizing, injecting water, and draining water.

What is uncontrollable is that we cannot make the pressurized water reactor operate stably for a long time without injecting coolant and releasing nuclear waste water, simply by controlling the "fuel rods and control rods", thereby reducing the amount of water injected and the amount of nuclear waste water discharged.

If Sanyuan Agriculture's digital display is true, it will mean that Sanyuan Agriculture has mastered a technology that can reduce nuclear waste water discharge by two-thirds or even four-fifths.

At the same time, a high-precision device for controlling fuel rods and control rods was built, and a better liquid coolant was configured.

In other words, the thermal engine efficiency of the pressurized water reactor of the second-generation nuclear power plant is up to 33%.

After Sanyuan Agriculture adopts this technology, the thermal engine efficiency may reach 60% or even higher.

In addition to reducing the amount of nuclear waste water discharged, the use of fuel rods is also reduced.

Just like a gasoline engine, under the same specifications, a thermal engine with a 20% efficiency is definitely not as powerful as one with a 30% efficiency, nor is it more fuel-efficient than one with a 30% efficiency.

On the contrary, a gasoline engine with a thermal efficiency of 30% can sacrifice thermal efficiency and reduce specifications.

When the efficiency of the heat engine is reduced to 20%, its volume is reduced by one third or one half.

What concept?
If we reduce this nuclear power plant by half, can it be moved onto a battleship?
Of course, this is just an assumption.

In fact, the nuclear power devices used by warships are much smaller than those used in nuclear power plants.

And the fuel rods are completely different. Nuclear warships must use uranium 95 with an enrichment level of more than 235% in order to provide stronger energy and extend the life of core replacement, even requiring no replacement for 30 years.

The uranium 235 used in nuclear power plants has an enrichment level of only 2% to 4%.

There is a huge difference between the two in terms of refining uranium 235, making fuel rods, integrating fuel rods into reactor cores, and controlling cores.

But Sanyuan Agriculture has all these things!
"Can I smoke?"

Professor Sun knew that smoking was definitely not allowed in such an important place, but realizing the gap between the two sides, he still subconsciously said it out loud despite his melancholy.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Wang actually took out a cigarette.

"Our sealing technology, dust prevention technology, and air purification technology are world-leading. It's just a cigarette, no big deal."

After saying that, he distributed Yellow Crane Tower gold bricks to everyone and lit one for himself.

The inspection team: “…”

Then everyone visited other digital display areas.

Including various induction values ​​of hot water boilers, various induction values ​​of generator sets, various induction values ​​of cooling towers...

In addition, there are single device life, wear, stability, tilt and vibration values.

Finally, this series of values ​​are summarized in the command center of the No. 2 backup control room.

It forms a huge virtual 3D simulation picture.

There are not only equipment inside, but also relevant personnel and locations are marked.

It can even connect to surveillance cameras and mark the relevant personnel’s on-duty time, physical condition, etc. on the surveillance screen.

For example, the researcher named "Huang Chen" on the screen.

Mood value, blood oxygen value, blood pressure value, electrocardiogram, radiation value...

If you select the other person's profile picture and click on it, you can also see all of their personal information.

Including personal savings, family savings, parents' status, spouse information, children's information, personal network...

If you select any of the items here, you can see more detailed information.

For example, the source and destination of personal deposits...

As one of the top nuclear energy experts in the East, Professor Sun must have seen all kinds of advanced instruments.

I've even seen third-generation nuclear power facilities in North America.

But I have definitely never seen anything like this from Sanyuan Agriculture... What the hell is this?

Isn't it terrible?
From equipment to personnel, everything should be managed.

For a moment, Professor Sun didn't know what to say and finally lit another cigarette.

Zheng Wang said, "Professor Sun, what do you think of our nuclear power plant?"

"..."

"In fact, this is an iteration of materials science and an application of big data. Coincidentally, we have always been far ahead in these fields."

"..."

Suddenly.

boom! ! !
Accompanied by a loud bang, the earthquake level, external air pressure changes, etc. instantly appeared on the digital display screen.

But the air-raid shelter was very stable. Even the water cups in everyone's hands did not cause the slightest ripple.

"this?"

"All of our underground buildings, including the reactor area, are designed as space capsules. The whole structure is like the two-way stabilizer of a chariot, and also like the anti-shake gimbal used by a camera. Combined with our special cement and customized concrete structure, the whole structure can ignore earthquakes below magnitude 11."

"..."

"This is another triumph of materials science."

"..."

In conversation.

The loud noises outside became more and more frequent, and the surveillance footage switched to the surface.

In the sky above the nuclear power plant, 12 fighter planes marked as enemy were fighting against 6 J11Bs marked as their own.

At the same time, the densely packed missiles either exploded or successfully broke through the defense in the interception network of anti-aircraft guns and directly crashed into the cooling tower.

But after the explosion, only a black mass was left on the surface of the cooling tower.

Professor Sun suddenly remembered the three-series carbon fiber concrete that Yu Sanyuan told the Oriental reporter some time ago.

It was a type of concrete that was even stronger than the 'ultra-high-strength concrete that can defend against bunker-buster bombs'.

Not to mention bunker-buster bombs, even cutters, rock crushers, etc. cannot hurt it at all.

Only 10 red notes per cubic meter.

But Sanyuan Agriculture doesn’t even sell Dongfang.

There is no other reason, just afraid of it leaking out.

"This is another triumph of materials science."

"Congratulations, Professor Sun, you can answer the questions quickly."

"..."

The pirate attack lasted for a day and a night.

In the end, the pirates took advantage of their numbers to break through Sanyuan Agriculture’s security forces and successfully poured into the nuclear power plant.

The Liss Nuclear Power Plant immediately closed all passages and entered evacuation mode.

This made Professor Sun and the inspection team extremely nervous.

In addition, the nuclear power plant was also under attack from the North American Marines near the Mediterranean Sea, who were rushing over. "Professor, go to sleep. We may face even more crazy bombings."

"..."

……

It is known to the whole world that the Red Sea Pirates are an armed force secretly supported by the Bush administration in order to prevent Sanyuan Agriculture from investing in oil projects.

And the vicious cycle of 'Sanyuan Agriculture purchased weapons to prevent pirate attacks, but was immediately plundered by pirates, and then Sanyuan Agriculture purchased stronger weapons, but was plundered by pirates again'.

Some countries expressed deep sympathy, such as Serbia after the disintegration of Yugoslavia.

Some countries gloat over other people's misfortune, such as India, Japan and South Korea.

Some countries secretly support other pirates to participate in the operation, such as Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Australia, which do not want the oil countries to achieve food self-sufficiency...

Therefore, it is normal that the Red Sea pirates become stronger and stronger.

Not to mention the F15, perhaps in a while there will be Tornado fighters, Jaguar helicopters, and even Leclerc tanks and various types of missile destroyers.

Therefore, when pirates once again attacked the Leith nuclear power plant, apart from the NSA finding something fishy, ​​other countries and forces all believed that North America had increased its support for pirates.

Including Bush's deployment of the Marine Corps to the Red Sea to fight pirates, countries around the world only thought that the Leith Nuclear Power Plant was about to be put into trial operation, and North America was furious and planned to use regular troops to destroy it.

The oil-producing countries reacted most strongly to this.

Normally, as allies of North America, the oil-producing countries should support North America and suspend cooperation with Sanyuan Agriculture.

But until now, oil-producing countries have not enjoyed the treatment of allies when purchasing weapons from North America.

Whether it was purchasing advanced tanks or advanced missile systems, North America declined both.

Moreover, the conventional weapons that North America sells to oil-producing countries are all inventory goods, or even retired goods refurbished from the North American aircraft graveyard in Montana-Davis.

Including the missiles sold to oil-producing countries at high prices, not only are they inventory from the 1960s and 1970s, but they also have a range of only 100 to 200 kilometers, and are half effective and half abandoned.

In this context, the oil-producing countries saw through the international human relations and chose to purchase Dongfeng Express from the East in order to defend themselves.

Therefore, although the oil country is an ally of North America, it has always maintained its independence in cooperation with Sanyuan Agriculture and firmly supported Sanyuan Agriculture.

This time is no exception, and the banditry in North America is directly criticized.

And organized an OPEC meeting to prepare to reduce crude oil production by 30%.

...

Austin, Texas.

When Old Bull received the news that Young Bull had bypassed him and dispatched the Marine Corps to the Town of Lis to eliminate the pirates, he immediately realized that Young Bull was in big trouble.

You know, the Lao Bu family and Sanyuan Agriculture have already reached an agreement of "I won't hit you, and you won't hit me".

Therefore, the support provided by the old Bush family to the pirates became less and less.

After all, they can’t attack the nuclear power plant in Lis Town anymore, so these pirates just need to have enough food.

As for the Desert Seed Project in the Oil States…

Can oil-rich countries really achieve food self-sufficiency?

It cannot be achieved.

Even if Sanyuan Agriculture's project is successful, it can at most increase the supply of fruits to oil-producing countries and West Asia.

Therefore, agricultural projects in oil-producing countries are only used to prove that oil-producing countries can grow food.

The oil-producing countries of the future will still be food importing countries.

In this way, there is no need for the Old Bu family to become too hostile with Sanyuan Agriculture over this matter.

Old Bu must have known about Yu Sanyuan's training activities of winning over the pirates and letting them attack the nuclear power plant in Liss Town.

But this has no impact on North America, so why intervene?
Just as France controls equatorial Africa and the Arctic bears control central Africa, North America also does not interfere.

And if one day in the future North America exposes the evidence that Sanyuan Agriculture is supporting pirates, wouldn’t that be a big trouble for Yu Sanyuan?

So Old Bush knew about the "self-directed pirate attack" and watched the battle scenes through the Keyhole satellite every now and then, but he never paid any attention to this matter.

But when Bush got involved and used the Marines to fight the pirates, things became different.

This is equivalent to asking the Marine Corps to face more than 2,000 fully armed black fat men.

And they used active-duty troops from North America to help Yu Sanyuan train his troops.

You see, Yu Sanyuan handed over the 6 rare high-performance J11Bs to the pirates.

Unfortunately, after his second son Neil Littlebu returned from Shiliying, he succeeded as chairman of the Carlisle Group. Littlebu has always been resentful about this and has become increasingly distant from his father.

When it comes to eliminating pirates, he insists on his own way and refuses to listen to advice.

Old Bush even suspected that Young Bush was instigated by certain arms dealers.

"I hope that after this incident, you can learn a lesson, face reality, and figure out the true horror of Sanyuan Agriculture."

……

Leith Town.

After the pirates left, the nuclear power plant was completely renovated.

After Professor Sun and the inspection team followed Zheng Wang out of the air-raid shelter, they looked around at the repaired site and the cleaned cooling tower and were stunned.

"These pirates are actually good people, but life has forced them to take a path of no return. Our President Yu firmly believes that if we try to persuade them with our heart, they will turn back sooner or later."

Professor Sun looked at Zheng Wang, who looked like a madame, and couldn't help but light up another cigarette.

Then he walked into the car parked at the gate. It was intact and had even been washed by the pirates.

Then he turned on the vehicle's communication device and reported the situation here to his superiors.

"Report, we have conducted a detailed investigation of the Lis Town Nuclear Power Plant."

"How is the result?"

"Too advanced, I can't understand it."

"..."

"However, what is certain is that the Sanyuan Nuclear Energy Project has world-leading stability, not only in terms of buildings and equipment, but also in terms of personnel."

"Stability of personnel? What does that mean?"

"This is probably what is called big data, which manages people's body and mind."

"..."

"And then there's the nuclear power plant in Leith Town. After a day and night of bombing by pirates, it's now completely new."

"???"

……

after one day.

On the east coast of the Red Sea, 270 km south of Port Sudan.

The 3,000 Marines who rushed from the Mediterranean first used fighter planes to carry out a two-hour indiscriminate bombing of the hiding places of the Red Sea pirates.

Then the troops split into two groups, one group riding in infantry vehicles and the other riding in helicopters, covering each other and heading straight for the pirate base.

At the same time, the three missile destroyers docked on the east coast of the Red Sea opened the launch silo covers, 4x4, and then x3 ships, a total of 48 ship-borne missiles, ready at any time.

In the Gulf of Aden, the North American Truman Aircraft Strike Group and the Roosevelt Aircraft Strike Group, with hundreds of fighter jets and more than 20 ballistic missiles, were also ready for reinforcement.

With such a lineup, not to mention pirates, even some small countries may not be able to withstand it.

at this time.

The NSA suddenly captured several strange images in the coastal area of ​​East Africa.

I saw more than 300 agricultural tricycles slowly and uniformly lifting up their rear compartments as if they were unloading soil.

Immediately, three-meter-long missiles appeared, launching, launching, launching...

The next moment, these agricultural tricycles easily shook off the Marine Corps Armored Regiment that was rushing towards them on the bumpy ground and hid in the plateau areas and rift valleys with gullies everywhere.

The target of the missiles was naturally the two aircraft carriers in the Gulf of Aden.

The Secretary of Defense of North America, Donald Rumsfeld, did not care whether Air Force could defend against the attack, but asked his assistant a question.

"Where did they find so many drivers?"

"Sir, you can drive this kind of car. You don't need to train a driver."

"???"

"Really, if you don't believe it, you can buy one and try it."

"..."
