Global Catastrophic Disaster: Start Building Noah's Ark

Chapter 91: Micro-nuclear reactor is made!

With the completion of the base, the energy problem must be solved next.

Because when the base is put into use, a large amount of electricity is needed to power the living area and storage.

The existing diesel generators cannot meet such a large amount of electricity consumption, and the daily consumption of diesel is very large. The reserve is already insufficient, and sooner or later it will run out!

Now we can only wait for the semi-finished micro-nuclear fission reactor developed by Lao Bi to come out, and then upgrade Noah's Ark to nuclear power to solve the energy problem!

When everyone returned to the ground, Qin Bin looked at the exhausted engineering team. In order to quickly build the base, the engineers have been very hard for more than half a month.

They are not robots, but flesh and blood. It is estimated that their spirit has reached the limit.

Qin Bin said to Lei Hui: "Old Lei, take the brothers back to the scientific research cruise ship to rest for two days. You have worked hard during this period. I will ask Xiaozhuang and Chen Guang to bring you some good wine and food to reward the brothers."

"It's not hard for us to serve the captain!" Lei Hui said in a hoarse voice and a very firm tone.

Qin Bin smiled slightly. The soldiers have full loyalty and can be completely trusted!

"Okay, you have to rest well to have the energy to carry out the following water and electricity installation work. If you are exhausted, it won't work." Qin Bin patted his shoulder and said.

Feeling Qin Bin's care, Lei Hui felt warm in his heart, stood at attention and saluted, and said: "Yes, Captain!"

Then he turned to the engineering soldiers and shouted: "Brothers, the captain ordered to rest for two days!"

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison, all of them were delighted.

Lei Hui took the engineers back to the scientific research cruise ship. There were some rooms on it, 2 people in a room, with supporting facilities.

After Lei Hui assigned the room, he went to rest in the room. He lay on the bed, and endless fatigue came over him instantly. He fell into a deep sleep in less than a minute.

When he woke up again, it was already eight o'clock in the evening. He slept for the whole afternoon. If he hadn't been awakened by hunger, he would probably have slept until the next day.

His stomach was rumbling, Lei Hui touched his stomach, got up and went out to find food.

At this time, Zhuang Yan and He Chenguang also came to find him.

"Old Lei is awake, I thought I was going to wake you up!" Zhuang Yan laughed.

"I woke up because of hunger. Do you have anything to eat?" Lei Hui scratched his head and asked with a smile.

He Chenguang took over the conversation and said, "Haha, of course there is. The captain ordered that you eat and drink well for the next two days. You should rest for two days. He specially asked us to send you food. It's not self-heating military rations!"

Zhuang Yan pulled Lei Hui's arm and said, "Let's go. The three of us will rest tomorrow. We can have a good drink with you tonight. Tonight is all thanks to you. I haven't seen so many good wines and good food for a long time!"

The three walked side by side and went to the cruise ship cafeteria. Many engineers had already come in and saluted and greeted the three.

The smell of various meals in the cafeteria has been wafting, and the aroma is fragrant!

"Come and make way, the dishes are coming!" The special forces of Lone Wolf and Red Cell brought the food in the dining car.

The dining car is two people high and divided into five layers. Seeing the dishes on the dining car, everyone was stunned!

The first dining car was filled with thick-cut steaks, bowls of braised pork, and roast ducks and fried chickens!

The second dining car was filled with spicy fried chicken offal, braised lamb, braised pork elbow, braised pig's trotter, and sweet and sour spareribs!

The third dining car had prawns, crabs, squid, sea fish and other seafood!

The fourth dining car was filled with various fruits and vegetables!

"Oh my goodness..." Lei Hui was completely dumbfounded!

All the engineers were stunned!

This, this is too rich!

It's even richer than a banquet!

He Chenguang swallowed his saliva frantically to prevent it from flowing out.

"Old Lei, you are so lucky. These things are all good things from Noah's Ark. The meat is all fresh meat, and the vegetables are all fresh vegetables grown on Noah's Ark!"

Lei Hui was even more moved when he heard this.

The food for this kind of frozen meat is one meal less, unless the planting area is expanded and production and consumption are balanced, then it can be said that there is a constant supply of food!

After the completion of Phase 1 of the base, the next underground building to be built is the planting and breeding area, creating a self-circulating food ecology. Only by expanding production can the base be continuously supplied.

Now there is no shortage of self-heating military rations, self-heating hot pots, dry food, rice, noodles, bacon and other materials. What is lacking is fresh meat and vegetables, and the most important thing is vegetables and fruits.

Because of the lack of vegetables and fruits, everyone relies on vitamin tablets to maintain vitamin intake.

The meals were served on the table one by one, and various red wines and white wines were presented one after another. The red wine was Lafite, and the white wine was Maotai, which were all the best products that Qin Bin hoarded before the end of the world.

At that time, there was money, and a lot of famous wines of various brands were bought.

The wine and food were all ready, and Lei Hui smiled and said: "Thank you for the reward, captain, everyone, let go of your belly and eat!"

Hearing Lei Hui's order, everyone couldn't help it, and then they took their bowls and chopsticks to eat and feasted!

...

The cafeteria was bustling, but the physics laboratory was very quiet.

Lao Bi was assembling the last step of the micro nuclear fission reactor.

Qin Bin was standing nearby, looking up at this thing that was about five or six meters tall and looked like a large iron pillar.

This thing was a miniature nuclear fission reactor!

According to Lao Bi's introduction, the micro nuclear fission reactor is mainly composed of nuclear fuel, moderator, control rod, coolant, reaction layer, etc. Because there is no nuclear fuel and moderator material, this thing can only be regarded as a semi-finished mechanical structure.

Nuclear fuel is generally made of enriched uranium in the shape of rods, which are arranged in the core. Its working principle is that the uranium 235 nucleus is bombarded by external neutrons and fissions into two smaller nuclei, which will release 2-3 neutrons. These neutrons will continue to bombard other uranium 235 nuclei to form a chain reaction.

In the process of uranium 235 fission, a large amount of heat energy will be released. This heat energy will be taken out by the coolant and brought to the secondary heat exchanger. This part of the heat energy can turn water into steam, which drives the motor to generate electricity or form a steam turbine to drive the rotation.

The coolant can be recycled and continuously take out heat. The control rod can control the speed of the fission reaction or stop it.

Now this micro nuclear fission reactor is a metal structure except for special materials. This is not difficult for scientists like Lao Bi.

"Huh, finally done!" Lao Bi breathed a sigh of relief, looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction, and then climbed down the ladder.

Qin Bin looked up at the semi-finished product, his heart was burning, this is the key to solving the energy problem!

With this semi-finished product, a lot of survival points can be saved. As long as it is upgraded on this basis, a real miniature nuclear fission reactor can be obtained!

"Captain, you have lived up to your expectations. This semi-finished reactor has been successfully made!" Lao Bi said solemnly to Qin Bin.

"Well done, transport this big guy to Noah's Ark!" Qin Bin's eyes flashed with brilliance, suppressing his excitement and excitement.

Because, with this thing, Noah's Ark is about to usher in a major upgrade!
