Chapter 365: Drive Area

The tour of the logistics area has come to an end, there are all kinds of things in this area, but most of them exist to meet the needs of the crew of the mother ship in all aspects, and the role of the mother ship itself can almost be said to be negligible, so the visit of the logistics area, Huo Gu is not interested, and he wishes to end it earlier, but he has not forgotten his purpose.

However, on the surface, Hogu could not show disinterest, because that would be too purposeful, and would arouse the alarm of the Seren, and if it developed like that, it would be worth the loss.

After finally surviving the explanation of various things in the logistics area, Amanda, the tour guide, began to lead Hogu to tour the drive area of the mothership, that is, the area where the mothership's energy and propulsion engines are located.

"This is the drive area, which is the core part of the mothership's power, and in order to facilitate the power supply of the engines, this place will be directly connected to the mothership's propulsion engines."

Amanda introduced this while quietly looking at the projection panel to make sure she wasn't making a mistake because of her nervousness.

Amanda is not a member of the staff of this area, and does not know much about the area, except for the existence of fusion reactors written as the energy core of the mothership, and the direct connection to the mothership's propulsion engine.

There's no way, the mothership is really too big, and it embodies the hard work of I don't know how many Seline scholars, and it's a bit of a fool's dream to understand it all thoroughly.

Amanda's casual behavior looks a little funny to others, if there is a third party in the flying car at this time, it is estimated that she will laugh, but Hogu's attention is not on this point, its eyes are focused on the projection of the entire area of the flying car, the drive area.

The drive area is not like the logistics area for people to live and play, so there will be no access in all directions, criss-crossed, and the view of the drive area cannot be seen from just a certain point.

This is a circular space, and then those fusion reactors will be perpendicular to the inner wall of the annular space, so that the space utilization of the ship's capacity can be maximized.

In addition, the design layout of the mothership engine is not far from the drive area, and the reduction of the power supply distance also means that there is no need to worry too much about the destruction of the engine's power supply line in the event of an attack, but this also has other problems.

"Isn't this part the weak point of the mothership?" Hogu asked.

In normal combat, the engine vent is the most conspicuous part of the battleship, because that place is so bright, and high-energy pulse beams gush out of that part, like a drop of white paint in ink.

Therefore, it is easy to see the part of the fire, and the fact that the Serens placed the engine part close to the drive area can easily affect the energy core in the drive area, and the energy output of a warship will be affected, and the result can be imagined.

Weapon systems need energy, life support systems need energy, engine propulsion requires energy, vibrating armor needs energy, and radar observation needs energy......

When the energy source is destroyed, or destroyed to the point that the power consumed is greater than the power output, the ship is paralyzed and becomes a metal coffin floating in space.

So Hogu was curious about the intention of the Seren people to design it this way.

"Weak point...... That's true, but it's not entirely true, because we use thermonuclear fusion as an energy source, and use artificial gravity to create water pressure to constrain the release of fusion energy, so this area is the strongest part of the entire mothership. ”

Amanda heard the question asked by Hogu, thought about it, and nodded in agreement, she could understand Hogu's thoughts, and an amateur like her could imagine that it was impossible for the mothership designers of the empire to fail to think that such a design layout had its raison d'Γͺtre.

"The strength of the main material and keel in the drive area is comparable, and because of the structural layout, if you can strongly break through the kinetic energy attack of the defense of the drive area, it is no problem to directly tear the entire mothership to pieces."

"I see."

Huo Gu nodded with some understanding, and at the same time secretly rejoiced in his heart.

The difference in structural strength in each area of the mothership was something that Hogu overlooked, as it was unable to install a gravity fusion reactor like the Serens on the organism in the first place, so it didn't have a comprehensive understanding of this part.

In order to be able to resist the strong water pressure that binds nuclear fusion, and the liquid disturbances caused by the explosion of nuclear fusion, the structural strength must reach an astonishing level, or it will inevitably face the fate of disintegration.

The structural strength of the drive zone is extremely high, which is information that Hogu overlooked when he first looked at the wreckage of the mothership, although the mothership creatures also have this skeletal layout due to the fact that they are the mothership class of the Serenes.

Understanding the role and not understanding the role are two different things, which is more or less a little gain.

Amanda continued her explanation as a tour guide, fully engaging, and did not notice that Hogu was already a little distracted.

"Don't look at us and we can't feel any temperature, in fact, the drive area is kept at 70 degrees for a long time, and if you don't wear any protection to enter this place, dehydration will occur after a while, which is very dangerous."

"Under normal circumstances, people who work in this place will drive a special flying car, and use the mechanical arm on the flying car to complete the work, and they will not be exposed."

"You don't do thermal insulation and cooling?" Hogu asked.

It is impossible not to do thermal insulation and cooling treatment, and when looking at the wreckage of the mothership, the nuclear fusion reactor was the object of Huogu's attention, and naturally he knew the design of the reactor and a complete set of systems.

But Hogu's current identity is to talk, and it is impossible to understand the design of the mothership class of the Serenes, and if he does, there is no need to board the mothership for a tour.

Hearing Hogu's question, Amanda shook her head and replied.

"No, we do, 70 degrees is the residual temperature after the insulated cooling treatment, if there is no treatment, the air can cook people."

"Isn't it dehydrated and turned into a dried corpse?"

Speaking of this, Amanda explained to Hogu very seriously.

"Dehydration is an undesirable symptom caused by a large loss of water in the body of organisms due to a high temperature environment, but water loss takes time and requires a process."

"If the temperature is high enough, the water will not have time to be lost before it will be boiled, so the organism will first be cooked and die by its own body fluids, and then the water in the corpse will gradually run away."

"What a scary place."

As he spoke, Huo Gu's gaze turned to the scenery outside the flying car, there was no color in the logistics area, only monotonous metallic colors, because this place was not a place for people to play, and naturally there were no such bells and whistles.

It can't help but compare with the mothership creatures, although each has its own reasons, but in terms of the utilization rate of the ship's capacity and space, it is the Huogu side that is superior.

After looking at it for a while, Huo Gu asked.

"What if...... I said in case there is a breakdown, a malfunction, or something like that, how do you take action about it? ”

"Stop the reactor for maintenance, anyway, this is not the only one such drive area, if this is stopped, other drive areas can also continue to supply energy to the mothership and provide a steady stream of power."

Amanda recalled, and answered as a matter of course, but because her explanation was too brief, Hogu had to ask again.

"Stop? How does this work? Can you still cool it down? ”
