Chapter 36 Isotope Batteries

The level of science and technology of humans in the parallel world has obviously surpassed that of the world he lives in.

The world Chi Heng lives in is only in 2005, but the opposite side has already passed in 2145. Seeing the distressed appearance of this robot buried here, and the fact that the old uncle has been exploring here since 1984, it is at least 20 years old. It's time.

But the old uncle’s notes explained that the research base was empty... This is very scary. With the human technology after 2145, the entire army was wiped out during the exploration of "extreme boundaries"?

Isn't he alone...

"Don't scare yourself, it's really dangerous here, but the old uncle can survive alone, I may not be able to."

Thinking of this, Chi Heng felt quite ironic. In such a dangerous place as "Juejie", the old uncle could survive after exploring for more than ten years, but the real world made him suffer misfortune. Doesn't it mean that the real world is worse than "Juejie"? still dangerous?

No, it is the United States that is more dangerous than "absolute border".

The root cause of the car accident in which the old uncle encountered a traffic accident was that the other party had a gunfight, and he drove the car directly onto the sidewalk, knocking the old uncle into the air in an instant.

This is really a man-made disaster!
Seeing that this "broken copper and iron" seemed unable to answer any questions, Chi Heng thought to leave it here for the time being, and deal with it later when he has time.

As soon as he walked back to the ATV, Chi Heng stepped onto the seat, and suddenly heard a noise. When he turned his head, he saw the "broken copper and iron" walking around unsteadily, just like a child learning to walk. The parts creaked, as if they would break due to disrepair in the next moment, which made Chi Heng almost couldn't help feeling sympathetic.

Indeed, not only from the perspective of action, this "broken copper and rotten iron" is almost scrapped, but from the outside, its surface is covered with mud, and the mechanical joints are also damaged, which seems to be due to the use of some titanium alloys. Manufactured, so there is no problem of large areas of rust.

Even so, it is really miraculous to be able to act.

"What's this guy's energy source? Can it still move after at least 20 years?"

Chi Heng scattered his thoughts for a moment, saw "battered copper and iron" stumbled to this side, and asked, "What do you want to do?"

"Sir, can I, can I help you?"

At close range, the other party's speaker sound is too harsh.

Chi Heng said angrily: "You can't even walk steadily, what can you do for me?"

He thought for a while, then pointed to the coordinates of the steel rods and the thin pull cord: "See those things? You walk along these steel rods and red belts, and stop and wait for me when you see a door."

If it is today's artificial intelligence, it will definitely not be able to handle Chi Heng's natural language well. However, the "bad copper and iron" in front of him seems to understand Chi Heng's order, and replied: "Okay, Sir."

Just turned around, really shook his body and walked in the direction of the steel brazing coordinates.

"I actually picked up a robot today."

Chi Heng never dreamed that there would be such a possibility. When he thought that this "crap copper and iron" might come from the research base, he became more motivated and wished to find the research base immediately.

Looking at the time, it was only 14:30 in the afternoon, and there was still time to continue working. Chi Heng cheered himself up, plugged in the earphones for his birthday, and started to work while listening to music on the iPod his old uncle bought him.

By 16:40 in the afternoon, he had successfully advanced the steel brazing coordinates to the 23 km mark, tired and hungry, and was ready to return.

"I don't know where that piece of scrap metal went?"

Chi Heng deeply doubts whether the other party will be able to walk to the "Moros Gate", and may be scrapped halfway.

Unexpectedly, after driving back not too far, I saw the staggering, staggering, but not falling mechanical figure from a distance. The ATV drove all the way, and the "broken copper and rotten iron" seemed to have found the pool. Balance, and shouted through its piercing loudspeaker: "Sir, is there anything I can do to help you?"

Chi Heng didn't stop the ATV, echoed and shouted: "Mind yourself, Junk!"

Hurriedly driving all the way back to the "Gate of Moros", it was already close to 17:30, Chi Heng packed his things, and suddenly thought that the night of "Extreme Boundary" is very dangerous, I don't know if the "broken copper and iron" can deal with it ?Considering that the other party has been buried underground for decades without incident, it shouldn't be a big problem, right?
Chi Heng didn't think about it any more. After packing up the ATV supplies, he opened the door and went back to the basement warehouse.

The first thing I do when I come back from "Juejie" every day is to take a shower. After working there for a day, my whole body is covered in mud, not to mention that the sweat can completely soak my underwear.

After taking a hot bath, Chi Heng cooked a delicious dinner for himself. After enjoying the meal, he quietly read a book for a while. Before going to bed, he filled up today's work notes and thought about whether today's work is worthwhile. Any omissions, if not, just hit OK!

After that, Chi Heng lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

Early in the morning of the second day, on the morning of June 6, after Chi Heng finished his work, he opened the "Moros Gate".

Something happened that surprised him.

As soon as he opened the "Molos Gate", he saw "Battered Copper and Iron" standing not far from the door. It seemed to be in a dormant state. As soon as he heard the sound, he immediately activated, blue light appeared in his eyes, and the ear-piercing sound came again. I remembered: "Sir, good morning, good morning, Junk is here waiting, waiting to serve you."

"You, you came over?"

Chi Heng clicked his tongue in amazement, looked up and down the "broken copper and iron", and felt that it was a miracle that he walked the distance of more than [-] kilometers without falling apart.

"Sir, the battery is low, please, please replace Junk's battery."

"Uh, batteries?"

Chi Heng was stunned for a moment, and asked back: "What battery do you use?"

"Junk uses...the seventh-generation Pu-238 radioisotope thermoelectric generator, with a maximum design output power of 4.38kW and a design service life of 25 years."

"Radioisotope thermoelectric generator?"

Chi Heng listened to this familiar name and thought carefully, isn't this a nuclear battery?

But this nuclear battery is powerful. The isotope device designed by the Americans has a designed electrical output power of only 70W. The electrical output power of this "bad copper and rotten iron" is actually 62 times that!If we look at the design life, wouldn't it be possible to generate more than 95 kilowatt-hours of electricity within the design life?
Instead, he thought of the storage battery equipment in the basement. Damn, wouldn't it also be an isotope thermoelectric generator?Otherwise, how can it take so long?It must be the equipment that my uncle got from the research base.

Before Chi Heng could think about it, a hole popped out from the belly of the "broken copper and iron", and inside it was a shell battery made of tantalum-platinum alloy. The entire battery was only the size of a 500ml bottle of mineral water. It was unimaginable that it was so small. What a thing, it can generate 4.38 degrees per hour!
This amount of power generation is enough for three or four households to use it casually.

But wait a minute, he doesn't have such a nuclear battery...

"Sorry, Junk, I don't have a radioisotope battery here."

Chi Heng shook his head.
