Xu Xingchen knew what the natural cycle reaction technology was, but he also knew that this thing was not the same as a reactor, and he might also need to use this technology to transform the existing reactor.

However, with the previous example of variable cycle engine technology, Xu Xingchen clicked in with a little expectation and took a look.

Sure enough, this natural cycle reactor technology also comes with a natural cycle reactor for submarines.

The name is very popular: "The new generation of submarines use natural cycle integrated nuclear reactors."

The basic parameters are very simple: the design life is 40 years, and there is no need to change materials for the full life. The electric power is 50,000 kilowatts, which is about 68,000 horsepower.

As a natural cycle reactor used in a submarine, this basic data can be said to be very outrageous.

In comparison, Seawolf level is 51,000 horsepower, Virginia is 40,000 horsepower, and Ohio is 60,000 horsepower.

If the CVN65 Enterprise used this submarine reactor, then four seats could push it to run 33 knots instead of installing eight A2W.

Nuclear-powered aircraft carriers are not impossible to use submarine reactors. The problem is how powerful the reactor is, how many are they ready to install.

The company has installed eight 35,000 horsepower piles, with a total power of 280,000 horsepower, which can allow her 90,000 tons of hull to run to 33 knots.

Charles de Gaulle installed two 38,000 horsepower piles, with a total power of 76,000 horsepower, and could only allow her 40,000 tons of hull to run 27 knots (27 knots are self-proclaimed, but it may actually be 25 knots).

If Charles de Gaulle had installed four reactors according to the original plan and had a power of 150,000 horsepower, he could still run 33 knots without extending the deck.

It was even more outrageous when Xu Xingchen got this reactor. As long as he installed four seats, he could make a 100,000-ton aircraft carrier run 32 knots.

Moreover, this target is directly electrical power, a completely integrated reactor, and is directly used for integrated power systems.

Compared with actual propulsion requirements, it has a significantly higher power, which should also be reserved for other ship-based equipment through a comprehensive power system.

However, Xu Xingchen was a little concerned that his equipment was basically Cyris's skills.

But will Cyris on Earth have such an outrageous thing?

At first glance it seems completely impossible.

But it is not impossible to imagine carefully.

To a certain extent, the nuclear power technology in Cyris's hands is currently the most comprehensive in the world.

This may be different from the usual perceptions of many people.

By the way, in fact, what people often say is that it is thirty or fifty years behind, and this statement is very inaccurate.

The statement that half of the generation, one generation, and two generations should be used.

Is there any difference between the two?

Of course, there is, because there is no absolute direct correspondence between generational gap and time.

For pursuers, it may be that before it was created, it was still behind others for decades, and after it was created, it directly surpassed it, just like something like 055.

Even so, isn’t it more intuitive to explain it in thirty or fifty years?

In fact, it is not intuitive at all, and it is very misleading.

Many people have a mentality that some people develop before themselves in certain projects, so they will definitely be ahead of themselves many years.

If you chase forward, the other party must be running forward as well, and it is impossible to stop and wait for you.

But the reality is that many times the other party just stops and waits for you.

Maybe the person waiting for it was not you, but someone who had been a former opponent, maybe the other party was just tired of running before, but the result is that it did stop.

Reality is not about playing games, there is no fixed technology tree, clear development goals, etc. to complete it.

At the forefront of every technology, you don’t know what to do next. Continuous exploration and investment may lose all your money, thus giving your opponent an opportunity to take advantage of.

Therefore, if a pioneer who controls the latest technology can make huge profits while lying down, it is actually normal to keep going.

The social environment in most regions in the world is not as popular as domestic, so there is no sense of urgency as strong as domestic.

In reality, some things in industry may not have changed for decades. Many places now use machine tools from twenty years ago, and there is no problem of being outdated.

Sometimes, not only stop, but even strange situations of "scientific research relies on archaeology" occur...

Lucia restored the image 160 by "archaeology", and Amelica is trying to find someone to "archaeology", or "antique" to restore some parts of B2.

Specifically in terms of nuclear power, after the 1990s, that is, in the past thirty years, Amelika has not built a new nuclear power plant.

The nine land-based mode reactors that continued to operate in the Cold War era can be regarded as reactors used to verify technology, and all of them were shut down.

After entering the new century, almost 80% of the world's new nuclear power plants are in China...

Domestic nuclear power-related technologies also started with the introduction.

However, because such projects are too important and dangerous, related projects have always been under highly strict supervision.

Any company that wants to enter the domestic construction of nuclear power plants must sign a technology transfer agreement.

In China, it is not that they can find suppliers themselves to buy, but that they will ask suppliers around the world to bid, because only the country still has a large number of nuclear power markets, and they are willing to come.

Then, the manufacturer that won the bid is not bound to it and it will not monopolize the construction of the same nuclear power plant in batches, although it is more cost-effective in terms of construction costs.

Instead, we choose different suppliers for nuclear power plants in different places, and use different models to build them, and compare and use them to learn.

As a result, almost all the latest generation reactors have been collected in China, and at least three next-generation reactors are still developing and testing.

Nuclear power-related technologies have basically stopped all over the world, and only here is still continuing to move forward significantly.

Moreover, due to architecture and decision logic, the support for such projects is very high, and when it is really promoted, it can be considered as a response to all requests.

For example, nuclear power plants and related research institutions need to use various measurement tools and shielding materials, which are very sensitive to the background radiation level of the material.

However, the normal steelmaking in the international world has always been the transformation of old steel and new steel. After decades of operation, the global steel has been mixed with each other.

The large number of nuclear tests that began after the war resulted in the radiation of all normal steels exceeding the standard, and some steels even mixed with scrap steel stolen by Chernobyl, resulting in the cobalt content exceeding the standard.

Nuclear energy-related users have to buy World War II shipwreck steel before nuclear explosion on the black market, and even formed the industry of demolishing shipwrecks.

The upper layers of the Prince of Wales battleship were almost dismantled, and the self-sinking German-II's high seas fleet is also the main source of low-radiation steel in Europe.

However, in China, new furnaces are built directly, new steel is refined without scrap steel. The steel produced in this way is brand new, natural low-background radiation steel.

Why don’t new steel be refined abroad? It’s mainly due to industrial foundation and cost issues.

When the steel mill shutdown is shut down, it is impossible for the manufacturer to build a new furnace for the shielding steel you need for the test materials.

If you must place an order to buy this material with these manufacturers, they will go to the black market to buy shipwreck steel for you.

In China, first of all, half of the world's steel production is in China. There are manufacturers who can do whatever steel they want, and there are even more than one way to achieve it.

It can be issued as a political task to state-owned enterprises and central enterprises, and can also directly find steel enterprises that register to expand new furnaces, so that after it is opened, it can use new ores to refine clean steel, and store it for use in the nuclear power industry.

As long as the industrial foundation is perfect and you can figure it out with a little thought, there is no need to worry about it to the extent of demolishing the shipwreck...

At the same time, even if it is used for military use, there are also land-based mode piles in China, and it is obviously more than one.

So it is not surprising to be able to get such an outrageous and world-leading submarine reactor.
