Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree
Chapter 479 Fusion Core
“What is the neutron radiation dose?”
Lu Yongchang looked at the ring with orange-red light and asked urgently.
At this time, an incredible idea appeared in his mind.
But he needed to test his suspicions.
A constantly pulsating radiation value appeared on the holographic projection in front of him.
It's not very strong, but it still reaches a dangerous level for a fragile human body.
Although the [Poseidon] exploration ship is equipped with a certain radiation protection layer, such simple radiation protection measures do not actually have a strong protective effect against the pervasive neutron radiation.
"[Poseidon], retreat immediately!" Lu Yongchang gave the order directly without any hesitation, "That is the source of radiation! Repeat! Retreat immediately!"
Hope and Hansent, who were in the [Poseidon] cockpit, looked at the radiation warning lights flashing with increasing frequency in the holographic projection and also realized the problem.
Therefore, at the moment when Lu Yongchang's order was issued, Hope no longer cared whether the sound of the propeller would attract the attention of the deep-sea beast. He turned on the propeller reversal function without hesitation, and then started the motor.
A slight buzzing sound came from the soles of my feet.
With the abundant energy supply provided by the fusion reactor, the propeller speed increased rapidly, creating a series of cavitation bubbles in the liquid ammonia seawater.
In the deep ocean of liquid ammonia, the exploration ship suddenly paused and stopped gliding forward slowly.
Then, driven by the propeller, it quickly retreated.
Under the illumination of the searchlight, the deep-sea monster paused slightly as it swallowed the sea water.
It noticed the movement of the propeller next to it.
But the next second, it acted as if nothing had happened, continuing to shake its head and swallow the seawater in front of it.
Obviously, for it, cesium chloride and rubidium chloride are far more attractive than this toy that can resist beating.
Seeing this, Hope and Hansent breathed a sigh of relief and let go of their high hearts.
As the distance between the exploration ship and the orange-red aperture continues to increase, the piercing sirens slowly disappear—the trace amounts of neutron radiation dissipate.
"Is there any discomfort in your body?"
Lu Yongchang's voice interrupted their thoughts.
Hope and Hansent looked at each other and shook their heads: "I don't have any unusual feelings at the moment."
"That's good." In the communication channel, Lu Yongchang breathed a long sigh of relief, "The radiation dose is not large, and it should not cause much damage to your body."
"To be on the safe side, you will need to take turns entering the medical cabin for examination later."
Naturally, the two of them had no objections to this.
Who would have trouble with his own life?
"Professor...what is that orange-red halo?" Hope hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't restrain his curiosity and asked.
The communication channel fell into silence.
After a long time, Lu Yongchang's voice came again.
"If I guess correctly..."
"Probably a fusion reactor."
Hope and Hansent were stunned for a moment, and then shouted in unison.
"What the hell?!"*2
"Wait, wait, did I hear you correctly, professor?" Hope's eyes widened, and he asked with a look of horror, "What you just said was... a fusion reactor?"
"Yes, it is a fusion reactor." Lu Yongchang spoke solemnly and responded to Hope's question with a positive tone, "And, it is the fusion reactor you know."
"With such a strong magnetic field, neutron radiation, and the familiar ring shape, I really can't think of any other possibility except a fusion reactor."
"Fuck..." Hope muttered, "Unbelievable!"
"So, is this 'fish' using nuclear fusion to provide energy for its activities?!"
"Is this possible?"
"It's just a creature that can harness the violent energy of nuclear fusion with its flesh and blood?"
"Nothing is impossible, just think about its living environment." Lu Yongchang said softly, "In such a deep sea, it can have such a flexible body and such powerful power. I am afraid that only energy such as nuclear fusion can satisfy it. 's need.”
"And, for it, the raw materials for nuclear fusion are not difficult to obtain."
"Ice giants have a lot of hydrogen and helium in their atmospheres."
"Based on all circumstances, it is likely that what is going on in its body is the first generation of nuclear fusion, which is the deuterium and tritium fusion that we have eliminated."
Hope swallowed, raised his head, glanced through the porthole at the giant fish that was swallowing liquid ammonia water, and then looked back at the cabin at his feet.
Like this giant fish, [Poseidon] also gets its energy from fusion reactors.
In a sense, there is not much difference in the level of civilization between the two - even if its intelligence does not seem to be high, this does not prevent it from mastering controllable nuclear fusion by instinct!
"Professor, do we still need to get closer to explore?"
Looking at the radiation source and the huge fish not far away in front of him, Hansent asked softly with fear in his eyes.
Lu Yongchang was silent.
In the end, intellectual curiosity and curiosity overcame everything else.
"...Keep getting closer."
"Prepare to launch the third batch of decoys."
"As far as possible from the fusion core in its abdomen, the main target of this exploration is its back."
"I can't figure it out,"
"How can a creature with a cellular structure grow a shell that is comparable to the armor of a starship?"
"If we can crack the secret, the problem of the hull material of the asteroid-class battleship may be solved."
ps: Actually, I refused to add more chapters, but he gave too much.
Thanks to the great master Jiuli乄 for his certification...
