Chapter 43 Construction of African bases

The military gave Zhou Xing a perfect interpretation of what efficiency is, and as soon as it was agreed here, a person claiming to be the Ninth Bureau of Huajian called Zhou Xing to discuss the construction of the wharf with him.

Agreed to meet at Joakin the next day, Zhou Xing hung up the phone and drove the heir's car to Africa.

The sunset shines in the evening, the orange-red light renders the whole sky, the manic desert is a little more quiet, and the undulating sand dunes in the distance are connected with the sky, which is intoxicating.

On the base side, it is very lively.

Thundered!

The sand and dust were rolling, and the shocking appearance of the ZS-2 was revealed, like a peerless fierce dragon winding in the world, plunging into the refining factory, and the huge body was completely submerged in the factory.

The side protective armor opened, and rows of conveyor pipes protruded, and the mineral powder, which had been simply sorted, was injected into the induction cooker and again precisely sorted.

Outside the induction cooker, pipes of different colors and the thickness of an adult's height extend in all directions, connecting the surrounding refining centers.

After further screening, the fines are conveyed to a specific refining furnace to complete the transition from ore to metal.

At the back of the refining center, there is a melting workshop, in which different metals are added to the hexagonal alloy crucible tens of meters high, and turned into new alloys that become raw materials for manufacturing.

On the periphery of the refining furnace, there is a row of gray buildings, two by two, of varying heights, which are the slag calcining furnaces of the refining center, where the waste slag produced by smelting will be reused, some into building materials, and others into chemical fertilizers.

In the entire refining center, there is no waste at all, and any kind of material can be excavated to its own value.

Later, there is also a busy construction site, the same lights, all kinds of lights are constantly flashing, a large number of mechanical insects are processed overnight, that is the new factory under construction, in the future, will be mainly used to manufacture all kinds of machinery, especially construction machinery.

Construction, construction machinery is indispensable, mechanical insects are suitable for meticulous crafting, too much loss in construction, and there are not many construction companies in Africa, so we can't always ask for help from China.

After visiting both places, it was already completely dark.

In the dark night farther away, there stood a cluster of oval buildings, each more than ten meters high, without windows and doors, and the style was very different from this side, like a relict giant, unruly.

The building in the middle is noticeably larger than its surroundings, with a circular spire, which glows pale in the night light.

"Let's go there and have a look!"

Seeing these strange buildings, Zhou Xing's face turned solemn.

Wangshan ran a dead horse, even at the speed of the inheritor's car, it ran for nearly five minutes.

By the shining headlights, you can clearly tell that this strange building is made of concrete on the outside.

"The perimeter of the radiant warehouse is poured with concrete, and the interior is isolated by special alloy steel, which is at least twice as effective as lead. There are also two layers of isolation paint between the alloy steel and concrete, and the internal 360-degree radiation monitoring is provided without dead angles, so that the leakage can be notified at the first time. In federal science and technology, the use of nuclear energy is very mature, and there will be no leakage accidents. Zorro explained to Zhou Xing in a low voice.

Radiation warehouse, the warehouse used by the Federation to store radioactive materials, a large number of federal designs were used in the construction of the base, and some special materials have also found substitutes on the earth, and the protective measures have been strengthened.

The larger building in the middle is the base's current source of electricity, a small nuclear power plant.

In the warehouse of the Tinder spaceship, a semi-finished reactor is stored, which is almost finished. Therefore, at the beginning of the design, Zhou Xing directly decided on the energy mode of the base, which is more energy-efficient and almost non-polluting light nuclear fusion: deuterium-tritium controlled nuclear fusion.

Deuterium is widely distributed in seawater and has huge reserves. Each liter of seawater contains 0.03 grams of deuterium. This may seem like a small number, but it is this tiny amount of deuterium that produces enough energy to produce 300 litres of gasoline during nuclear fusion. Add to that the terrifying volume of SH water, and the stock of deuterium is considerable.

In other words, there is enough deuterium on Earth for hundreds of millions of years of human use, and it can almost be considered an inexhaustible energy source.

The federation originally had a design plan to directly build a nuclear power plant into the ocean, but with the current construction level of Huanyu Technology, it could not meet the standard, so Zhou Xing had to retreat to the next best thing and build it in the desert.

"What about security?"

Zorro waved his hand, and several red rays of light in the darkness hit the ground, and there was another click of footsteps, and a few lights lit up in the night, and several burly figures gradually revealed.

The dark shell, glowing like a stream of water in the light, was like a general's armor covering the defender's body. The head looks a lot like a Transformer, and the flow lines on the outside look like lines on a circuit board.

The face is square, with a pair of electronically sensing eyes, and facial features that are completely anthropomorphic, making it easier for people to accept these robots.

Broad-shouldered and thin-waisted, comparable to the body of the best bodybuilders, the legs are tightly armored and are alloy leg bones the thickness of a baby's arm. The precise mechanical structure ensures the agility of the defender, and the strong power makes him full of explosive power

"Defender 86, a defense expert in the federal Sentai robot sequence, can fight continuously for about three days with high intensity when the energy is sufficient, and the whole body shell is made of Akanti alloy, which provides maximum flexibility while ensuring protective performance. ”

"In terms of weapons, according to the actual situation on the earth, I have improved two federal light weapons. Zorro pointed to the defender's waist, where a weapon resembled a revolver, but the barrel was almost several times that of a revolver.

"A single-person close-quarters shotgun, which fires specific shotguns, turns into 120 tiny projectiles after being discharged, using ultra-solid metal, each weighing two kilograms, and if it hits head-on, there is no single weapon that can protect it. ”

Zhou Xing has long seen the power of ultra-solid bullets, but when he heard Zorro's introduction, he was still secretly speechless, a bullet is more than 200 kilograms, and this gun is really not something that humans can play.

"Behind this, the S-class assault rifle, with an effective range of two thousand meters, can easily shatter the frontal armor of all land main battle tanks within a kilometer, and should also be equipped with energy generators for every ten columns, but now the energy block is too scarce to replenish, and this item is temporarily vacant. ”

"Defender 86 has only six units built so far, and it is on combat duty and responsible for the security of the base. A number of detection devices have been installed around the base, and no creatures or devices have been able to infiltrate silently. ”

The defender is made of the first batch of alloys in the refining center, processed by mechanical worms, and there is nothing to say in terms of ability, his energy system is completely different from the earth, using a compressed high-density energy body, and the bioenergy on the earth cannot be played, and it cannot be replenished for the time being, and can only consume the inventory of the tinder spaceship.

In addition to the fuel for light nuclear fusion, deuterium extracted from seawater, and other radioactive raw materials extracted from minerals are stored in the radiation warehouse.

The warehouse is now used only as a storage warehouse for fuel for nuclear power plants, and in the near future, also for new nuclear submarines.

Light nuclear fusion, which is also Zhou Xing's customized power scheme for the new nuclear submarine, has an output of gigawatts, several times that of the current nuclear submarine, and at the same time the volume is only about half of the current pressurized water reactor, and the mute effect is even more prominent.

He didn't write it down on the drawings because the technology was too sensitive.

When it comes to choosing a power method, it's not that there are more advanced technologies in the federal tech tree, but the most suitable for today's situation, and the most economical, is nuclear fusion.

Whether it is maintenance cost, pollution control, energy effect, there are incomparable advantages.

If this technology leaks out, it is enough to make any national organization crazy, which is why Zhou Xing is so concerned about this place.
