Chapter 382 Nuclear fusion power station

Jiao Bai stood in front of a door made of black alloy, put down the laser cutter in his hand dejectedly, shook his head helplessly, and said, "I've tried all kinds of methods, but there is still no way to take it." You say, how about we dig a hole directly from the top of the hangar and open a skylight instead of going through the gate? ”

A zombie engineer next to him who had participated in the reconstruction and expansion project of the Qiongzhou Aerospace Base shook his head and said: "This is basically difficult, these hangars were built with very high specifications at the beginning of construction, and they were basically built in accordance with the standards of anti-nuclear attack and anti-space-based weapon strike." Not only is the hangar more than 20 meters underground, but five or six meters of alloy layers are poured around it, and it is basically impossible to violently destroy it. For now, it is best to find a way to restore the power supply of the base, and then find a way to hack into the permission control system of the base and obtain the permission to open the hangar in order to open the hangar and obtain the aerospace aircraft inside. ”

Jiao Bai was also helpless, he couldn't open it, he couldn't smash it, he really couldn't do anything about these hangars. It would be nice if Geng Tongtong was here, with his teleportation ability, one teleportation, he would enter the inside of the hangar, maybe it would be very easy to open the door from the inside. Jiao Bai tried the "Earth Escape" skill he copied from the summoned beast again, and the real person escaped underground and circled around the hangar. It was found that as the zombie engineer said, the hangar was poured with thick alloy all around, and even the elevator passage was tightly wrapped, and it was very difficult to destroy it through violence.

Returning to the ground, Jiao Bai shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, I can't get in by relying on the ability to escape, it seems that I can only restore the power first according to what I said before." So who of you knows where the nuclear fusion power station at the base is built, let's go over and see the situation, maybe the nuclear fuel in it is not exhausted? ”

"It's right behind the ground control center, and it's only two kilometers from here."

Jiao Bai waved his hand and said, "Then what are you waiting for, kill it, and by the way, take down the space airport and the ground control center together." ”

With Jiao Bai's order, thousands of summoned beasts pulled out and slaughtered towards the last area of the Qiongzhou Space Base. Flying in the sky, running on the ground, summoned beasts of all colors and shapes, quickly moving forward. After advancing a certain distance, the summoned beasts gradually dispersed into the air and space airfields and the ground control center area, looking for and killing the zombie mutant beasts hiding inside.

And Jiao Bai and a group of zombie engineers walked at the back, when they arrived at the nuclear fusion power station, the nearby area had already been cleaned up by the army of summoned beasts, and even the corpses of zombies and mutant beasts were gathered together and disposed of in a unified manner.

This nuclear fusion power station is a semi-underground building, covering an area of not too large, just thousands of square meters. This is in stark contrast to the controllable nuclear fission power stations on the earth, which occupy tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of square meters at every turn.

The reason why the controllable nuclear fusion power station in the last days can be built so small is that the technology is more advanced, and the power generation method of boiling water has been completely abandoned, which has greatly saved the floor space of the generator set.

The mainstream power stations on the earth, whether thermal power or nuclear power, are inseparable from the process of boiling water to boil water to produce water vapor, and then use high-temperature water vapor to drive the steam turbine to drive the generator to generate electricity. The so-called supercritical unit, ultra-supercritical unit, no matter how loud the name is, is just a modification of the way of boiling water, so that the energy conversion efficiency is slightly higher.

The nuclear fusion power station on the apocalyptic side uses a device called a ring plasma cover to directly collect charged particles and convert them into electrical energy, and then cooperate with the mature temperature difference power generation technology to isolate the heat emitted by nuclear fusion, completely abandoning the backward power generation mode of boiling water. While doubling the energy conversion efficiency, it also greatly reduces the footprint of the nuclear power plant.

On the other hand, we have to talk about the fuel for nuclear fusion. There is no helium-3 on the earth, and only deuterium-tritium can be used as a fusion raw material for reaction, whether it is an uncontrolled hydrogen bomb, or a controlled tokamak, or a stellarator, the reaction raw materials used are these two. The nuclear fusion reaction of deuterium and tritium will produce a neutron carrying a very large kinetic energy, and the neutron is not charged, which is not only difficult to control, easy to produce radiation, but also wastes a lot of energy.

Before the outbreak of the zombie virus in the apocalyptic world, the moon had been developed for decades and a stable source of helium three had been obtained. So their nuclear fusion power station uses a more advanced second-generation nuclear fusion technology, namely helium-three and deuterium reactions, to produce helium-four, protons and pure energy. This reaction is easier to control and does not produce radiation, which can eliminate a large number of radiation protection facilities and greatly reduce the footprint of nuclear fusion power plants.

In fact, there is also a third-generation nuclear fusion technology, that is, helium-3 and helium-3 fusion, but the conditions required for that fusion reaction are very harsh, and it is still difficult to achieve with the technology mastered in the end times.

Jiao Bai stood in front of the nuclear fusion power station and sighed at the convenience brought by technological progress to mankind, such a small power station can supply the power consumption of the entire Qiongzhou space base, which is a miracle. You must know that the entire space base covers an area of more than 1,000 square kilometers, with a resident population of hundreds of thousands, plus some super energy-consuming equipment, such as wind tunnel groups, electrolytic aluminum production equipment, and so on. The power consumption of a space base is comparable to that of a large city on Earth.

The level of protection of nuclear fusion power stations is not low, but they are all aimed at the nuclear fuel and reactors inside, not internally, not externally, so it is not too difficult to destroy them from the outside. Jiao Bai led a group of zombie engineers, and after half an hour of busy with tools, he broke through two safety doors and entered the nuclear power plant.

Just as they opened the second safety door of the nuclear power plant and entered a passage, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Jiao Bai and a group of zombie engineers. Jiao Bai was stunned for a moment, subconsciously took out a laser pistol from his personal space, held it in his hand, and then looked at the figure. I saw that the man was 1.8 meters tall, wearing a purple and gold helmet, wearing a Wenshan armor, and black leather boots with a cloud head, dressed as a military general of the Ming Dynasty. The man stopped in the middle of the passage, shook his voice, and said, "Who are you, and why do you want to force your way into a military place?" ”

Hearing this, Jiao Bai pursed his lips speechlessly and said, "It's just a holographic projection, who are you scaring here?" ”

Yes, although this figure is very realistic, the movements and speech are very natural, and combined with the stereo sound of the surrounding stereos, it is easy to scare the average thief. :,,,
