Volume 1: The Holy Maiden's Escape Chapter 70 The Void Steals Electricity

With the chief engineer's command, everyone fell silent. Everyone turned their heads and looked at him with that "how can you do this!?" looks.

The fifth steam turbine is a standby unit outside the four steam turbines of the entire power station, and the only meaning of existence is to act as a complete spare parts warehouse, if one of the steam turbines has a serious failure, and even the cause can not be found, the fifth steam turbine in the standby column can be directly activated to ensure the overall power supply stability of the power grid.

But now, four units are operating normally, and the fifth steam turbine is completely empty. Delivering heat to the machine at this time will only cause the turbine to run idle without load, and the generated current will all be channelled into the earth, resulting in a meaningless waste of energy.

Thankfully, Turbine 5 was placed in a separate small building from any plant, so it didn't damage the rest of the systems even if it started to discharge a lot. And this is precisely the condition that several other units do not have.

In this way, the power of the turbine will be increased almost unlimitedly, as it will run at full load without load. Perhaps in the process of operation it can withstand several times the output of its rated power, but this will make this billion-dollar steam turbine a one-time consumable, when its turbine fan blades begin to slow down, the reverse current will form a closed-loop loop inside the steam turbine, in an instant to release all the energy accumulated before. The excessive accumulation of heat will lead to only one result, and that is an explosion.

Sure enough, explosion is the ultimate art in this world. No matter what happened before, as long as you put an explosion at the end as the end, everything will fall into place.

This order was extremely difficult to issue, as it meant that the third power station would forgo the spare turbines in exchange for the good condition of the other four operating turbines. Behind this decision is a system of tens of billions of credits that is consumed as a consumable that can only be used once, and in terms of the speed of burning money, I am afraid that it is not as fast as this to directly count the money stack.

A power station has a total annual turnover of only tens of billions, and even if there is almost no cost of fuel, and only robots are needed to complete the maintenance, a power station still has to continue to operate for ten years to recover the cost. Once the chief engineer's orders are carried out, the total revenue of their plant will be negative for the whole year.

To make such a decision, the pressure on the chief engineer can be imagined.

Looking at the silent little ones, the chief engineer touched his big bald head and sniffled, and said angrily: "It all depends on what I do? If you don't blow up one, you will blow up four, and my grandson knows how to do this kind of multiple-choice question." Do what you have to do, don't be like that idiot over there!", he said, grabbing the glass of water in his hand and preparing to smash it on the sinner operator. Even the young operator himself had curled up in advance, ready to hold on again, but the chief engineer looked at the weighty alloy cup in his hand, and finally put it down silently.

Then he turned his hand and picked up the flexible screen operation terminal that was rolled into a roll next to the cup and was in a shutdown state, and smashed it towards the current who was in trouble.

"Don't get stunned, you have to get all the heat out as soon as possible. In the state of the magnetic confinement ring, all the coolant is injected, and the four steam turbines are depressurized and run at half load, and all the heat is transferred to the No. 5 steam turbine, and it moves, fast, fast!"

With the roar of the chief engineer, the main control room, which had been so solemn that even the air was almost frozen, resumed its busyness again.

Watching the boys work in full swing, watching the pressure of the main pump gradually begin to drop on the display, gradually changing from dark red to light red, the chief engineer, who is not so young, chirped and chirped, thinking if he should go to the smoking spot on the roof to smoke his favorite cigar.

After all, there is not much time left for him to stay here, every minute and every second is precious, and he should create as many good memories for himself as possible. Although he has worked hard for this power station for most of his life, he did not expect that he would not be able to protect himself in the future, and when such a big accident happened, he would probably soon be suspended from his job and investigated by the company and the government, right?

No matter how you think about it, this job, this position, even this work clothes, the name of the chief engineer, I have to say goodbye to him.

When will the police come? early in the morning, or will they not wait for dawn?

However, just as the chief engineer was somewhat stunned to recall his contributions to the power station, on the other side, the operator who had completed the load hanging operation of the No. 5 steam turbine suddenly let out a strange scream.

"General, chief engineer! I have a situation here, the No. 5 steam turbine, it has a load!"

"What!!" The chief engineer was taken aback, and hurriedly ran to the panel in charge of the operating ape to check. Sure enough, through that panel, the chief engineer can see very straightforwardly that although the power of the No. 5 steam turbine has been continuously rising, the weak current accumulated inside the steam turbine has always remained in a very stable range.

There is only one possibility that there is some kind of battery that can store electrical energy or a high-power electrical appliance that consumes electrical energy in the entire circuit, and it eats up all the electrical energy generated by the steam turbine.

"This ...... What's going on?" Looking at the magical scene that happened on the panel, the chief teacher, who was also the second monk, was puzzled, and he couldn't figure out why this happened at all.

But soon, he realized that, whatever the reason, this was an opportunity for him and their entire power station. With that inexplicable power guzzler in the circuit, they can confidently and boldly increase the power of the steam turbine without worrying about the explosion of the steam turbine after it is shut down. Even if it is necessary to overhaul it later, the repair is much less than the cost of rebuilding after an explosion.

Now is the time to direct all the heat from the entire fusion reactor into Turbine 5 to get the heat out of the reactor core as quickly as possible!

In this way, at the same time that Chu Yuesheng issued a curse of "why didn't I fill you to death", the No. 5 steam turbine in the third power station also began to overload. A large amount of electrical energy disappeared in an instant after it was generated, and it was actually filled into the body of this super-large robot. But it is clear that although this robot is also an electric tiger, it is not enough to eat the output power of an entire power station. The overloaded currents continued to destroy its inner core, causing it to gradually step into the footsteps of its offspring in an uncontrolled stillness, destroyed by currents beyond its capacity.
