Development of productivity started in 1981

Chapter 82 3MW Reactor Construction (Part )
After returning to the underground base, Wang Jiankun first contacted his parents at home using a text message. Today was the Lantern Festival and the lighter factory was closed, so the reply came quickly.

Wang Jiankun told them about his trip to Shanghai and asked his father to send someone to pick up the specialties brought back from Shanghai the next day or the day after tomorrow.

My father said that a batch of goods would be sent to Dexing tomorrow. Peter has ordered more than 4 lighters, so he will go to the county town to pick them up tomorrow afternoon.

My mother also talked about the recent production and sales situation. Cheng Yong's output is still relatively stable, about 1 units per day, while Peter's sales are increasing. My uncle sent a telegram saying that the output will be more than 4 units per week in the future, and it may increase further. The remaining goods have been sent to Yangzhou, and they have also started urging for the goods.

It seems that Peter has opened up the sales channel and maybe started to build a distribution system. By then, we can send him some high-end electronic watches and box-pushing handheld game consoles to try.

Now two places have started to make efforts. We were originally planning to open a factory in Yangzhou. Since Secretary Cheng can get the electricity, we will wait for a while. The team is already short of manpower, so we will talk about building a production plant in Yangzhou after my mother has trained more financial staff and production managers.

Fortunately, I have the help of my younger and older uncles at Xingyao Electronics. Currently, some of the management personnel are from the old resistor factory, and some are sent by my younger uncle from Hong Kong. Those retained managers from the old factory are still of a certain level, and with the supervision of Chen Xingdong sent by my younger uncle, the new Xingyao Electronics is managed according to the management method given by Wang Jiankun, so the management ability is still guaranteed. Otherwise, Wang Jiankun would not know how to find people to manage it.

After chatting with my parents for a while, I continued to contact my older and younger uncles via radio. Today is the Lantern Festival, and I don’t know what my older and younger uncles are busy with. I waited for a long time but received no reply. So I put down my headphones, left the radio on, and went underground to do some preliminary construction work on the 3-megawatt reactor.

First, a well with a diameter of 1.5 meters was dug vertically underground, 100 meters deep below the underground base, and then a simple elevator was built.

After the elevator was built, Wang Jiankun first expanded the space underneath and laid out the ventilation facilities. He then took the elevator down and used his superpowers to project and check the underground terrain. Because he had to build a 5000 cubic water storage tank, the terrain underneath had to be relatively solid.

Looking at the elemental composition in my mind, I determined that there was solid granite underneath.

Wang Jiankun asked Zhizi to design the water tank, heat exchange pump, lighting equipment, electrical wires and piping equipment, etc. He will set aside some time every day to work on this water storage and heat dissipation device.

When building this device, Wang Jiankun planned to use a different method. By peeling off some elements, he would split the rock into pieces, and then use an electric cart to transport the pieces of granite out of the underground base.

Some of these stones were taken away by my father's truck and sent to the team as building materials, and some were stored on the first floor of the underground base to be transported out and used when the house was built in the future.

According to this method, it should take about a week to dig out the space for the heat dissipation device. It will be a bit tiring to carry the stones in and out of the vehicle, but just treat it as a way to exercise your muscle strength. Although I have learned a set of military boxing, my strength is still not enough. I have been eating well recently, and in addition to growing taller, I have also gradually gained fat.

Today's ability to mobilize elements has been almost used up. The most we can do is to manufacture the electric cart, so the excavation work will start tomorrow night.

In the evening, Wang Jiankun had made five carts, which were equipped with lead-acid batteries for safety reasons. The carts were 5 cm long, 110 cm wide, and had a frame height of 45 cm. They could carry five 120 kg pieces of granite.

The wheels are steel wheels similar to those on trains, and they run on tracks. Wang Jiankun will make temporary steel rails at the excavation site, transport them to the fourth floor of the underground base, and then use the temporarily installed steel rails to get to the large elevator to transport the cart to the first floor of the underground base.

The car can run automatically throughout the entire process, and Wang Jiankun will be mainly responsible for moving the stones onto and off the car.

After securing the means of transportation, Wang Jiankun heated some canned food in the microwave and steamed some rice in an electric pressure cooker in the underground base and had a simple meal.

After dinner, he returned to the room on the ground floor to rest and found that his uncle had replied. Wang Jiankun quickly dialed the number and soon his uncle's voice came through the headphones.

"Jiankun, why are you looking for me so urgently? Today is the Lantern Festival. I am organizing a party at the base to welcome new comrades. If you are not in a hurry, let's talk later!"

"Happy Lantern Festival, little uncle. Here's what happened. I got something that can accurately lock onto a target and then explode. It can be aimed at the sky, the land, and the water. Do you want me to give it to you to try?"

"Jiankun, are you kidding? Where did this come from? Don't break the law!"

"Don't worry, uncle. You don't have to worry about the source. As long as you don't tell me that you got it from me, I'm safe. Do you want to try it?"

"Okay! But this thing is hard to transport, especially your section of the way. I won't have to worry about it once you get out."

"Well, I'll make it so that the parts are sent to Hong Kong Island, and disguise it with something. You can send people to Hong Kong to assemble it or to the base. There will be detailed installation and usage instructions. As long as you understand simple circuits and mechanics, people with college degrees should be able to do it."

"In that case, let's send a few sets to Hong Kong first. I'll have someone transport them to the base for assembly and testing. It's just after the Chinese New Year, and there's a force that wants to stir up trouble again. It's a good opportunity to train with them."

"It's settled then. Can you get a video recorder? Record the test and usage, and write down the pros and cons of the use. I can have someone make subsequent improvements."

"It's easy to get a video camera. I'll keep a record of it, but you can't take it to the mainland. It would be bad if you were caught."

"Well, then let's put it in Hong Kong. I'll find time to go and take a look."

"Okay, that's it for now. I have to get busy. We'll talk more about it later."

"Goodbye, uncle."

After chatting with my younger uncle, I waited for my older uncle for a long time but there was no reply. I thought he must be busy with something, so I turned off the transmitter and turned on the receiver to let the device record the message my older uncle replied.

He turned on the shortwave radio and listened to some radio programs from Europe and the United States. He fell asleep while listening. The next morning, he was stunned when he heard the sounds in his ears. He found himself lying in bed with his clothes on, with the radio headphones hanging on his head.

No wonder I felt like someone was talking in my ear just now. It turned out that I forgot to take them off last night. So I quickly took them off my head, rubbed my ears, and looked at the shortwave radio next to me. The display light was the color that indicated that there was incoming information.

I picked up the connected text machine and took a look. I found it was a reply from my uncle. He said he had dinner with the Ye family yesterday and got home very late. He asked Wang Jiankun what happened and said there was no rush and they could communicate again tonight.

After thinking about it, I realized that there was really no urgent matter on my uncle's side. Xingyao Electronics was recruiting people for the production line, and the equipment provided by Wang Jiankun could be manufactured slowly and shipped over one by one. So I replied that there was no urgent matter and we could communicate again in the evening.

I got up, fetched some water, washed up, and rode my motorcycle to school. Since I was not a new student and did not live on campus, I only had to come to morning reading and hand over the tuition to the class teacher on the first day of school. Other students who lived on campus had to come one day in advance to pay tuition and accommodation fees.

Wang Jiankun should have arrived relatively late. When he entered the classroom, most of the students had already arrived. There was a stack of money on the head teacher's podium, and of course, there were also winter vacation homework books.

Wang Jiankun went in and greeted: "Good morning, Teacher He, I'm here to report."

"Good morning, Jiankun, just hand in your homework and the tuition will be waived." Teacher He said with a smile.

Wang Jiankun was stunned for a moment and said, "Tuition is waived? Such a good thing is possible?" Then he handed in his winter vacation homework book. To be honest, if he had not been bored in the East China Sea at that time, Wang Jiankun would not have wanted to write it himself and would have directly filled in the answers using his superpowers.

"Yes, the principal has given special approval. As long as you keep up your grades, you won't have to pay any tuition fees in the future. You have to keep up the good work!"

Although tuition and miscellaneous fees were a small amount of money for Wang Jiankun, he was very happy to have the principal's special approval. He smiled and replied, "I promise I won't let you down, but I will still take more leave this semester!"

"What are you busy with every day? Your family business is on track, right? How come you are busier than the principal? You may not even spend as much time in school as our principal Wang. Can you tell us what's going on this semester?" The head teacher said with a frown.

"I have personal matters to attend to, and it's hard to explain. I'll be there one or two days a week, and I promise that my grades won't drop. How about that?"

"Okay, be careful when you go out. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. The public security in society has been getting worse and worse recently."

"Okay, I'll be careful. I'll go back to my seat first."

"Well, you go ahead!"

After returning to his seat, Yu Zirun asked, "Wang Jiankun, why did you spend so much time talking to the head teacher at the podium? Was it because of your homework?"

"No, the school waived my tuition and miscellaneous fees. My homeroom teacher told me about this."

"So good? Why? Do I not have to pay this semester or in the future?" "If my grades don't drop, I won't have to pay in the future."

"That's great. How good must my grades be in the future to be exempted from tuition and miscellaneous fees?"

"Well, it should be to the level that can be admitted to Peking University or Tsinghua University. The score should be around 95% of the total score."

"Oh! This is too difficult!"

"Have more confidence in yourself. According to the information I gave you, try to get full marks in your strong subjects, and slowly make up for your weak subjects. Strive to get more than 90% and that should be enough."

"Okay, I'll listen to you. I hope I can achieve it by the end of this semester."

"Believe in yourself, you can do it. My study method is very scientific. It can help you find out what you missed and fill in the gaps. It can also give you summary guidance. According to your progress last semester, you will definitely be able to achieve it by the end of this semester, but you need to work hard."

"Yes, I will. I made progress last semester, and I will make more progress this semester."

The daytime classes were simple and boring for Wang Jiankun. He stopped pretending to be a good student and began to study the good things he had secretly brought back from Okinawa a few days ago in class.

The first is the miniaturized design of the nuclear reactor. The reactor on the big black fish has high power and small size. Its miniaturized design has great reference value to Wang Jiankun, especially the materials used in it, which saved Wang Jiankun a lot of effort in exploration.

The materials on it can not only be used in the 3-megawatt reactor to be manufactured, but also in many occasions.

Moreover, by comparing and analyzing the elemental composition and arrangement, we can obtain more types of materials with functions such as high temperature and high pressure resistance, corrosion resistance, and radiation protection in the future, providing suitable components and structural parts for future large submarines and aerospace equipment.

When people focus on one thing, time always passes quickly. After a day, Wang Jiankun and Zhizi had discussed and modified the design of the pressure pipes and core pressure tank of the 3-megawatt reactor, so that the core temperature can be higher and the power generation efficiency can be greatly improved.

After school in the afternoon, Wang Jiankun ordered a bowl of rice noodles with lard at the door. He finished it quickly and rode his motorcycle to the underground base.

He first sent a message to his uncle via the radio, and his uncle replied after a while. Wang Jiankun quickly talked to him via the radio.

"Uncle, how is your lifelong event going? Have you told my mother about it?"

"Why are you so concerned? We just got engaged yesterday and plan to get married on May Day. I haven't had time to tell your mom yet."

"Congratulations, uncle. You finally don't have to sleep alone anymore. Where are you planning to hold your wedding?"

"You know a lot, don't tease me. The wedding will be held in our guesthouse, and your whole family can come. I will send a telegram to your mother tomorrow when I am free."

"Okay, then I won't tell my mother until you send the telegram."

"Jiankun, what do you want to talk to me about? If it's Xingyao Electronics, everything is going according to plan now, and the recruitment of talents is going smoothly. You just need to deliver the corresponding equipment according to the plan, and you won't have to help with the debugging."

"It's not Xingyao Electronics. I have a batch of stuff that needs to be delivered to my uncle. It's quite dangerous, so I'm asking my uncle how to transport it better."

"More dangerous? In what way? What do you want to give him?"

"Some of the stuff inside is flammable and explosive, so please ask Uncle how you can get out?"

"Well, I think I understand. Can't you just let your uncle make it over there? You provide some safe materials and equipment, just like you helped him provide equipment and some small parts before, and let your uncle assemble it himself."

"Well, the knowledge required to manufacture this kind of thing is quite advanced. I am not able to provide the simple equipment to manufacture it yet. It may take a long time for me to research it. My uncle currently does not have such high-level talents who can prepare it according to the instructions. In the early stage, I can only provide it."

"Then vibrations and collisions are inevitable when these things are transported. Will there be any accidents?"

"No, it won't. As long as it doesn't come into contact with open flames or temperatures above several hundred degrees, it's still very safe. But if it gets triggered, the reaction will be very violent and there's no way to save it."

"Okay, pack it better, disassemble it as much as possible and disguise it, then transport it to me by train. I will then find a way to clear customs for you to go to Hong Kong."

"Okay, I can make it in the next few days and ship it from Raozhou. Remember to check it."

"Okay, package it better. You export your tea and porcelain, right? Package it in the style of those products and mix in some real stuff."

"Uncle, you are the one with the most ideas. I won't disturb you and aunt's world of two. Bye."

"You little brat, do you have clairvoyance? Let me know when you send it out, and I'll pick it up myself."

After discussing with his uncle, Wang Jiankun decided to use his superpowers to manufacture the bazooka and rockets first, of course, by directly manufacturing the parts.

For now, we have only produced armor-piercing and high-explosive rockets. The other two types are too dangerous and require higher transportation conditions. When my uncle needs them in the future or if there are suitable talents, we will provide him with the technology and equipment to allow him to make them himself.

The DH-1 missile and its launch system were also manufactured. A total of 10 missile parts and 2 sets of launch system parts were manufactured, all of which were improved models. Among the 10 missiles, 5 were air-to-air and 5 were used to deal with low-speed armored targets.

In order to facilitate my uncle's testing, parts of the target aircraft and high-altitude balloons were also manufactured. Because my uncle may not be able to find an opponent with fighter jets at the moment and he does not have an airplane of his own, the target aircraft for testing was also provided to him.

The target drone is not the disposable sample used before in the East China Sea, but a slightly larger aircraft that can tow a target behind it. The target is shaped like a small airplane, but it emits a large amount of infrared radiation. The missile will avoid the target drone at the front because Wang Jiankun will install an enemy identification device.

After the manufacturing was completed, Wang Jiankun followed his uncle's advice and packaged the fuel columns in rolls according to the style of export tea, and also used his superpowers to specially create some real tea columns.

Other small parts are classified, packaged, put into the manufactured porcelain and fixed in place. The large parts are placed in wood of various shapes, and then they are said to be handicrafts for export.

After packing, Wang Jiankun put it on a cart and pulled it to the scrap recycling station on a motorcycle. He asked Ye Wei to help watch it while his father took it away. Then he sent a message to his father, asking him to transport the things to Cheng Xing the next day or the day after tomorrow and asking him to help find a truck to transport the goods to Guangzhou for his uncle to receive them.

Since Cheng Xing often had to ship goods to Guangzhou, he was very familiar with the people on the railway, so it was not very difficult for him to transport half a carload of goods.

After his father replied that they would transport it away tomorrow, he felt relieved. After returning to the underground base, Wang Jiankun began the preliminary preparations for the construction of the reactor.

They went down 100 meters below the base and used their super powers to cut the granite into pieces weighing more than 100 kilograms. Then they used small lifting tools to move the stones one by one onto an electric cart.

Each cart can carry five of these 5-kilogram stones. Once one cart is loaded, just press the switch and the cart will transport itself to the first floor of the underground base.

There, Wang Jiankun built an automatic unloading device that could transfer the stones from the carts to large tricycles. Each tricycle could carry 3 tons, or about 25 stones, which was exactly the amount of 5 carts.

Wang Jiankun dug and moved the stones underground, then returned to the first floor of the underground base and drove the tricycle into the valley. He used a makeshift crane to stack the stones into the valley, and when he had collected 1 tons, he asked his father to send three trucks to bring them back to the production team.

After one night, in addition to the 20 tons of stones piled in the col, more than 200 tons of stones were piled on the first floor of the underground base, as well as more than 100 tons of metal and glass. The water was left underground in makeshift containers, and other gases were discharged through ventilation ducts. The excavated space was approximately 1000 cubic meters.

At this rate, excavation will be completed this Saturday, and then we can start building the 3-megawatt reactor.
