Chapter 789 Xu Zhengyang’s Wedding

The bride and groom are the oldest, and if someone doesn’t want to wear a wedding dress, how can Zhao Ling insist on it? After all, weddings have to be negotiated. If you have to do it yourself, it may not be what others want.

 Zhao Ling is very generous. She looked at the wedding dress: "However, you still keep this wedding dress, even if it hangs in the closet forever. As a woman, you must have your own wedding dress, whether you wear it or not."

This wedding dress is not rented, it is bought, and it is designed by the best designer in Eight Wolf Clothing. Although Eight Wolf mainly produces men's clothing, they also design women's clothing. This wedding dress is outside. It would cost at least tens of thousands of dollars.

 “Thank you.” He Qian said.

“By the way, we are still going to have a Western-style wedding. A host will preside over the wedding for you. Do you have any other ideas? If you want to have a Chinese-style wedding, you can also arrange a sedan and a donkey.”

A woman only wears a wedding dress once in her life, and a woman only rides in a sedan once in her life. Of course, in later generations, sedans will be used directly for weddings. The land on Guadalcanal is too small to use sedans at all. However, if He Qian likes If you take a sedan chair, you can satisfy her once.

The wedding procession was playing and playing, and the bearers were carrying the sedan swaying left and right. Next to it, Xu Zhengyang was riding a donkey with a big red flower hanging on his chest. This scene is quite interesting when you think about it.

He Qian shook her head quickly: "No, no, it's all arranged. Just follow the arrangement. I just need to wear a military uniform."

“Well, I’ll go to Brother Zhengyang and tell him about this matter.”

"Wait." He Qian looked at Zhao Ling again: "Don't tell him what I think first. Just ask him whether he likes to see me in a wedding dress or a military uniform. If he likes a wedding dress, then I will wear a wedding dress. Marry him beautifully.”

 Zhao Ling smiled: "I know."

 In other places, the arrangements for these weddings have been discussed many times in advance, but now this wedding is too hasty and many are not prepared in advance and have to be discussed on the spot.

Xu Zhengyang is also dressing up. He is wearing an Eight Wolves suit and tie and is wiping his leather shoes. They are already spotless, but he is still wiping them seriously.

His head was covered with hairspray, making it shiny.

“Brother Zhengyang, you look like a big star in a TV series.” Zhao Ling came in and joked to him.

"No, I just take care of things casually. Things like marriage should be taken more seriously."

“Well, you are wearing a suit and leather shoes, so does your wife also need a wedding dress?”

“If we follow the trend in recent years, it should be like this.” Xu Zhengyang said.

 “What if? Do you have other ideas?”

“I don’t think Xiaoqian would like this kind of dress. She prefers to wear military uniform.”

 “Would you accept it if she wore a military uniform?”

 “Of course, if she wears a military uniform, then I will wear a military uniform too.”

 “Okay, let’s change it.”

Change?

Xu Zhengyang suddenly reacted: "Xiaoqian doesn't want to wear a wedding dress?"

"You guys really understand each other, I'm almost touched." Zhao Ling turned around and said as she walked out: "I'll tell her, Brother Zhengyang guessed what she wanted to wear right away."

Another ground-effect aircraft docked, and several people came up. They were thirty or forty years old, but they still looked very capable. Moreover, they also wore sea soul shirts from more than ten years ago. Although they were washed They were a bit old, but they still looked cautious, and veins could be seen in their thick and powerful arms.

“Zhengyang is getting married, we must come to support it.”

“Yes, we have been far apart in the past few years, but this comradeship will never be forgotten. The wedding of old comrades must come!”

"etc."

At this moment, a voice stopped them.

They turned around and saw Qin Tao: "Mr. Qin? Are you Mr. Qin of Mingzhou Group?"

"Yes, it's me." Qin Tao said, "I sent people to invite you all."

 “Thank you, Mr. Qin.”

"No need to thank me, I came to you for a mission."

"Task?"

Hearing Qin Tao's words, several people looked at each other, what's the mission? Does Mr. Qin want to poach us into the Mingzhou Group?

“A wedding in Zhengyang must be lively. I have some plans here…”

Several old comrades listened with strange brilliance in their eyes. Mr. Qin has a great reputation and is a man who has done great things. Unexpectedly, he is also very familiar with these byways.

It is not convenient for Qin Tao to do this kind of thing directly. After all, he is Xu Zhengyang's superior and leader. It is a bit inappropriate to make trouble at the wedding of his subordinates. It is like a group of younger brothers who can tease their sister-in-law, but the elder brother must not tease her. Brothers and sisters.

These people are old comrades-in-arms with Xu Zhengyang, so it is perfectly okay to do these things.

Several more people walked onto Chigua Island. They were dressed differently from Xu Zhengyang's old comrades. They were wearing suits and leather shoes, which looked very formal. They were more comfortable in the wind on a ground-effect aircraft, but when they got to the island, they immediately felt It's getting hot.

They wiped their sweat while looking around the island, and soon saw Wang Dazhong.

 “Teacher Wang, we are here!”

Wang Dazhong nodded: "Well, it's relatively hot here. Fortunately, it will get dark soon. After dark, we can put things in. When the electricity is turned on, you will be cool."

"Well, Teacher Wang, even if it's so hot, we can persevere. The soldiers on our island rotate every half a year, so of course we can persevere." The visitor said: "Before we came, we did it again After a simulated operation, there shouldn’t be any problems.”

“Okay, let’s get ready. After dark, we will start the loading operation!”

This nuclear power plant has been set up, but has not yet been started up or loaded with fuel.

If it is an ordinary pressurized water reactor, filling the fuel is a very complicated operation, especially when replacing the nuclear fuel midway. You must be careful. If you are not careful, big problems may occur. This is mainly because it uses columnar fuel. There are strict operating procedures for insertion and extraction, and the control rod is also critical.

 But the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor uses spherical fuel, so there is a new method, which is simpler.

The sun gradually set, the red night on the sea gradually disappeared, and darkness came.

 “Attention, prepare to load!”

The control room was tense, and everyone was staring at the computer screen with the camera footage on it.

A metal box appeared in the hopper of the loading machine. After the box was opened, small **** rolled in one by one. The diameter of these small **** was only 60 mm, which is six centimeters. They were smaller than ordinary glass balls, but they looked a bit like Pearl size.

 However, ordinary pearls are white, but this kind of pearl is black because it is covered with a layer of ceramic.

 This is the main raw material for high-temperature gas-cooled nuclear reactors: pellet spherical fuel. The volume of this fuel is very small. This is of course done to achieve more complete heat exchange.

There are thousands of fuel pellets in this box. After entering the loading machine, the loading machine begins to rise slowly until it reaches the roof, which is also the feed port of the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor. Countless pellets, Rolling into the interior of the nuclear reactor.

This loading method is so simple that the pressurized water reactor will cry with envy.

"The biggest problem with spherical fuel is that it falls freely from the top of the reactor to the core fuel area. Just like pouring a load of sand, it will form a bulge in the center and will not spread out evenly." Wang Dazhong said to those who came to observe. Qin Tao said: "If it is not improved, this will increase the power of the reactor core and the pellets in the center of the core will be consumed too quickly."

“Then how did we improve?” Qin Tao asked curiously.

"When loading, the internal circulating helium gas is moved at the same time. Under the influence of the helium gas flow, the **** can be evenly distributed." Wang Dazhong said: "Of course, we are only simulating it on the computer. However, the specific effect depends on the loading process. We will sum up our experience and further improve the data."

  If the pressure of the helium gas is small, the pellets will not be dispersed enough. If the pressure is too high, the pellets may collide with each other, causing them to break. Since this is my first time building this kind of device, I have to go through trial and error to find out.

“Report, the helium pressure is not enough, and the pellets are obviously gathering!”

“The second charge increases the pressure by ten percent!”

 Do you want to continue loading?

 The second box of spherical nuclear fuel was poured into the loading port and continued to rise to start the second loading.

 “The pressure is still not enough, the third loading will increase the pressure by 5%!”

 “The fourth loading, an increase of 3%!”

 The five charging processes are over, and the number of pellets loaded inside the nuclear reactor is already between 10,000 and 20,000.

“Is there enough fuel?” Qin Tao asked, this time it was an eye-opener.

“Well, since it is an experimental reactor, we only need to install 15,000 pellets. If it were a normal nuclear reactor, we would have to install tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.” Wang Dazhong said.

“By the way, now that everything has been installed, has the nuclear reactor started working?”

"Of course not, the control rod is still inside. Only when the control rod is pulled out will the chain reaction continue." Wang Dazhong said: "It is still in a shutdown state."

The principle of a nuclear reactor is very simple, which is a chain reaction. Under normal circumstances, uranium nuclei can spontaneously fission and release neutrons, but this is very slow. Another characteristic of uranium nuclei is that they can fission under the bombardment of neutrons, and then More neutrons are released. Therefore, one uranium nucleus fission spontaneously, and after releasing neutrons, it bombards other uranium nuclei, emitting a few neutrons, and then bombards other nuclei, ejecting more neutrons, and this continues, starting reacted.

  If it is not controlled, all the uranium nuclei will explode in a short period of time and release energy. This is a nuclear bomb. It is uncontrollable. If it is controlled and the nuclear energy is released smoothly, it is a nuclear reactor.

 How to release smoothly? Of course we have to think of a solution based on neutrons. Since the chain reaction relies on neutrons, as long as the number of neutrons is too small or there are no neutrons, the chain reaction can be terminated. How to achieve this effect? Then you need a substance that can strongly absorb neutrons, and this is cadmium.

Cadmium rods are inserted into a nuclear reactor. When all the cadmium rods are inserted, all the neutrons will be absorbed by it. The nuclear reactor is in a shutdown state. If a part is withdrawn, a chain reaction will proceed. The more cadmium rods are withdrawn, the greater the power of the nuclear reactor.

In the past, pressurized water reactors needed to leave a special channel for the control rods in the nuclear reactor. Once an accident occurred and the internal temperature was high, the channel would melt and the cadmium rods would be stuck. In this way, the nuclear reactor would completely lose control, which could cause terrible disasters. as a result of.

The pebble-bed high-temperature gas-cooled reactor has this advantage: the fuel is spherical, and they are all 60 mm balls. Therefore, there is no need to leave holes at all, and the cadmium rods can be directly poked into the fuel pile. Security is greatly improved.

 Furthermore, the fuel is made into a spherical shape so that the contact area between the fuel and the helium responsible for cooling is maximized, allowing for more efficient heat exchange.

 So, although high-temperature gas-cooled reactors also have columnar shapes, no nuclear reactor designer would choose this method. They all chose spherical nuclear reactors.

 The loading process is in a shutdown state, with the cadmium rods inserted inside, and of course it will not start.

“Then when will we start?” Qin Tao asked.

“Mr. Qin, you said it’s time to set off firecrackers!”

 Getting married is quite complicated. Many people will be busy this night.

 Five o'clock in the morning.

“Let’s go, the time is up, let’s go to the wedding!” Xu Zhengyang came out of the room.

Chi Guadao is so small that the distance between the bridal chamber, which is the male soldiers’ dormitory, and the female soldiers’ dormitory is less than 100 meters. Therefore, as soon as Xu Zhengyang walked out of the room, someone started to light firecrackers.

 Crackling…

Firecrackers sounded, followed by a pop-boom sound, and fireworks bombs flew into the sky. All the islands and reefs in the entire southern sea could be clearly seen.

　　Boom!

 Boom, boom, boom!

 The fireworks bombs exploded, and several beautiful big characters flashed in the sky.

 Happy wedding.

 This big character flew in the sky, and more people saw it.

 Getting married, someone actually held a wedding on the island? Isn't this too romantic?

 These fireworks can actually display Chinese characters. Are the Eastern fireworks so awesome?

Under the reflection of the happy wedding, Xu Zhengyang held sunflowers in his hands and knocked on He Qian's door: "Xiaoqian, I'm here to marry you! Marry me!"

“No, don’t open the door!” The female soldier’s voice came from inside: “Sing, sing a song for our sister Qian!”

 “Okay.” Xu Zhengyang knew that these female soldiers would make mistakes, and he was not afraid, so he just sang.

“The bell rang as a signal to return home, which seemed to bring a bit of sadness in his life…”

“Hey, today is your happy day, why don’t you sing about the glorious days, and sing “I love you more every day”.

 “I, I can’t, I can also play “Sailor”…”

 “No sailor, sailor is not a love song.”

"Okay, stop making trouble and open the door." Seeing that the female soldier next to her was still making trouble, He Qian spoke.

With a creak, the door opened. Xu Zhengyang looked at his wife inside. She was dressed in a military uniform and had a heroic appearance. She had no makeup and still retained her original appearance. He stared at her without stopping for a moment.

 “Why, don’t I look good? Am I too light?”

“No, very good, let’s go.” Xu Zhengyang said, holding his wife’s hand.

"No, we can't leave!" At this time, someone among the comrades brought by Xu Zhengyang spoke up: "The bride can't touch the ground after she leaves her parents' family!"

 “That’s right, you can’t leave without a wedding car!”

"Okay, then I..." Xu Zhengyang said, while bending down, his shoulders were just on He Qian's stomach, and then, holding his legs with both hands, he actually used the army's method of carrying logs, which is also the way to transfer injured comrades. It's a standard action, but how can it be like this when getting married? When carried like this, the bride's head will fall down, which is too inappropriate.

“Stop!” the female soldier quickly exclaimed: “Brother Zhengyang, are you treating our sister Qian as a log?”

Xu Zhengyang blushed with shame: "What should we do?"

Princess, hug me! Needless to say? You, a man, have lived in vain for so many years without ever hugging a woman?

 “Ride a high horse!” shouted one of Xu Zhengyang’s comrades.

 The female soldiers immediately became excited.

 “That’s right, ride a high horse, ride a high horse!”

Riding a high horse is a game of carrying a child. The child's legs are drooped in front of the father's shoulders, sitting on the father's neck, holding the father's head with both hands, so that he can see far away. In the playground, We often see this method. Of course, dad must be careful and beware of possible floods pouring down his neck at any time.

Now, these people actually want Xu Zhengyang to pick up He Qian in this way. This is clearly a booing!

Xu Zhengyang took it seriously and pretended to squat down.

He Qian's face turned red: "Brother Zhengyang, brother Zhengyang, hug me, princess!"

He Qian said and made gestures.

Xu Zhengyang finally reacted and glared at his comrades who were cheering him, and then hugged He Qian's legs. He Qian hugged Xu Zhengyang's neck with her hands and left the ground.

The fireworks were still going off. In the light of the fire, she looked at Xu Zhengyang's face, which was very close at hand, and felt very at ease.

 “Kiss him, kiss him!”

 The crowd started to boo again.

This time He Qian did not refuse and gave Xu Zhengyang a pop on the cheek.

Xu Zhengyang smiled.

On the other side, almost at the same time as the firecrackers sounded, Wang Dazhong shouted: "Start the reactor! Pull out 20% of the cadmium rods!"

 A part of the cadmium rod is withdrawn, and the neutrons from the spontaneous fission of the nuclei are no longer absorbed and begin to impact other nuclei. More nuclei undergo fission, releasing heat.

High-pressure helium gas flows inside, blowing around the spherical core material, taking away the high temperature. The temperature of the helium gas in the primary circuit is getting higher and higher.

 “Second circuit starts!”

The circulating water in the secondary circuit also begins to move, taking away the heat of the helium gas in the primary circuit. The temperature of the helium gas in the primary circuit stabilizes, and the water in the secondary circuit also begins to slowly heat up.

 A nuclear reactor is actually still a boiler. It just uses the heat of nuclear fission to burn the boiler. Now, it also takes time to heat the boiler water.

“By the time dawn comes, the pressure will be almost enough.” Wang Dazhong said, “We will be able to drive the generator to generate electricity by then!”

“Well, it seems that the startup was successful.”

 “Yes, it worked!”

At this moment, Wang Dazhong was in a very calm mood. You must know that this is the world's first experimental high-temperature gas-cooled nuclear reactor. As the founder of this nuclear reactor, he should be excited, but for some reason, there was no wave in his heart. All this seems to come naturally.

The sound of firecrackers and fireworks came from outside, as if they were celebrating.

 “Congratulations.” Qin Tao said.

“Without Mr. Qin and without Mingzhou Group, our high-temperature gas-cooled nuclear reactor would not be what it is today. Mr. Qin, on behalf of all scientific researchers and on behalf of this high-temperature gas-cooled reactor, thank you!” Wang Dazhong spoke sincerely.

"Thank you for everything. You are all technical people, and you are the heroes of this nuclear reactor. By the way, we are having a wedding banquet today, but we have to leave someone to guard this place so that nothing happens."

“Well, I’ll stay and you go have a wedding banquet.” Wang Dazhong said.

 “Teacher, you go, we stay.”

“It’s a matter of drinking first and then drinking. Everyone can drink it.” Qin Tao said: “Now, I have to go over there. I don’t know how the ceremony over there is going.”

 The wedding ceremony has to be held during the day, but the reception requires a good time and auspicious time. There will be a period of time between the reception and the wedding ceremony. How to spend this time? Of course, a lot of programs are needed.

"Pasatoni, paella is here!" A cook ran over from the kitchen carrying noodles. As soon as he came out, he was stopped by the veteran: "Wait a minute, your noodles look too ugly. What's going on? For the new couple?”

 “Why can’t it work?”

"Forget it, let me do it. Let's go to the kitchen to make a pot."

 “It won’t taste good if it’s lumpy!”

 “Just to make it taste bad.”

 The veteran took the bowl of noodles back and started working in the kitchen, processing mustard, chili oil, salt, and soy sauce.

 Another veteran took a knife and sharply cut the ham sausage. After cutting the ham sausage, he put it on top. The shape of the ham sausage was so lifelike! Then, two poached eggs were also cooked and placed next to them.

"You..." The cook finally understood what these people were going to do: "I don't dare to carry this bowl of noodles, so you should serve it."

“Of course, let’s come, and we have to let them eat every drop.”

Noodles are a wedding custom in many places. The original idea was that the bride would eat something to cushion her stomach when she came home and be hungry so that she could cope with the upcoming ceremony. However, that gradually changed, and now it has even changed. It's become a prank.

When the old soldier entered the bridal chamber with a soothing face, Xu Zhengyang glanced at it and his expression changed.

“San’er, what are you doing?”

　　"Sarizo, come on, bride, eat the noodles! Before eating the noodles, eat the ham sausage first!"

He Qian didn’t know, so she took the chopsticks and said, “Thank you.”

“Wait a minute, you can’t eat this while biting, you have to shake it before biting.”

"oh."

Seeing He Qian making such an action, Xu Zhengyang became anxious: "You, you..."

Anyway, we are getting married, but you are the only one who got married late. Do you still want to copy this show? The other veterans are all as eager as a dead pig and are not afraid of boiling water.

"This tastes..." He Qian frowned, can this thing still be eaten?
