Ye Han immediately entered the engine room, and the first thing he saw when he entered the door was the thick and long thruster body, and the long-term overpower operation caused the cylindrical reaction chamber to appear obviously deformed, especially the middle and rear of the thruster, which expanded a whole circle, and the originally not very spacious space was even more narrow.

The warriors huddled in the gap between the thrusters and the bulkheads, and everywhere they looked, there were floating snake lizard corpses, and the frozen bits of blood were floating in the air, and no matter where they hit, they would bounce off immediately.

Ye Han swept his eyes, but only saw a dozen snake lizards, and couldn't help frowning: "Why are there so few, what about the rest?" ”

"It should be in the back." Luo Qi said uncertainly.

He didn't want to be so vague, but he really didn't know what was going on in the depths of the engine room.

When it comes to the engine room, everyone's first reaction is big, followed by the second reaction is to squeeze.

Why? Because the diameter of the main body of the thruster is close to ten meters, which is a little more than a three-story building, and the length is more than thirty meters, which is equivalent to a ten-story building.

The engine room can accommodate this big guy, which is naturally a little larger than the thruster, its length and width are 12 meters, the length is 44 meters, and the volume is as high as more than 6,300 cubic meters, making it the largest cabin on the ship.

However, the volume is not useful, most of the space is occupied by the thruster, the gap between the thruster and the bulkhead is very narrow, the widest place is less than three meters, and the narrower place is at best one meter five or six, two fighters stand side by side, they can be tightly blocked.

No matter who came, it was impossible to see the entire engine room.

Ye Han also knew the problem, and asked dissatisfiedly, "What are you doing in a daze?" Why don't you hurry up and ask? ”

Luo Qi hurriedly agreed: "Attention to all units, attention to all units, count the number of snakes and lizards as soon as possible, and report to me immediately!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Luo Qi had already received a reply: "Luo Ying, there is a hole here!" ”

"Holes? What holes? "Luo Qi is not angry, I am counting the results, what can you say about the hole you found?

The voice hurriedly replied: "Luo Ying, you better come and take a look, this hole has penetrated the reaction cavity, and the snakes and lizards have gone inside!" ”

"Huh?" Luo Qi's whole person was not good, and he quickly turned around to look at Ye Han, "Division commander? ”

Ye Han immediately took action: "Go over and take a look!" ”

Several people quickly floated out, and floated half a circle around the main body of the cylindrical thruster with their hands and feet, and finally saw the hole the size of a basin.

Ye Han stared at the hole, his eyes were full of incredulity.

It's really a hole that penetrates the reactive cavity, but what is the reactive cavity? It is a place to withstand a miniature nuclear explosion!

Ye Han didn't know how this thing was made, but he knew that this thing was made of special alloy integrally, and the thickest part of the cavity wall was four meters, and even the thinnest part was about two meters.

Although the cavity wall of this place is not four meters, it is more than three meters, right? These bugs are too rebellious, aren't they?

Ye Han had all the ideas in his mind, and when he went up to the hole and looked inside, he couldn't see anything in the dark.

Turn on the headlamp, and a beam of light illuminates the hole, and you can immediately see the curved cavity wall opposite the hole.

It's really got through!

The edge of the hole was quite neat, but obvious traces of corrosion could be seen, and Ye Han couldn't help but gasp.

How powerful is the acid of snake lizards?

It may be that the beam of light attracted the attention of the insects, and a triangular snake lizard head suddenly appeared on the opposite side of the hole, and Ye Han came face to face.

Ye Han subconsciously wanted to pull out the gun, but as soon as his arm moved, the snake lizard dodged and never came out again.

Ye Han's mind was full of doubts, and he couldn't help but say, "What are they running into the reaction cavity?" ”

These things were created by aliens, and the aliens sent them up for the purpose of destroying warships. So no matter where they ran, Ye Han didn't feel strange.

So when He Lu reported that the swarm entered the engine room and destroyed the equipment, Ye Han didn't feel wrong at all.

But what's the matter with them running and staying in the cavity?

None of the people present spoke, and after a moment of silence, He Lu's voice came from the radio: "Captain, it may be that the temperature in the reaction chamber has attracted the snake lizard!" ”

Ye Han immediately became interested: "What do you say?" ”

He Ludao: "The No. 7 thruster has not stopped working, and the current temperature of the reaction chamber is still five or six hundred, which is the highest temperature in the whole ship. ”

Luo Qi interjected, "Isn't it? And what about the power compartment? Is the temperature in the power compartment higher? ”

"Quite the opposite." He Lu said, "The temperature of the reactor is indeed high, but the reactor and the power compartment have thermal insulation, and there is nothing ...... the thruster and engine room."

"Alright, I'll look into the reason later, I just want to kill all these bugs now...... Helu, can the thruster still work? How about just popping a fuel ball? ”

No matter how strong the snake lizard is, it is a living being, and it will definitely not be able to stop the power of a nuclear explosion, even if it is only a miniature nuclear explosion.

He Lu subconsciously shook his head: "No, I can't control the seventh machine!" ”

The thruster can only detonate one fuel ball at a time, and the explosive power of this fuel ball is about fifteen to thirty kilograms of TNT, which is not very high, but it is enough to destroy all the bugs in the reaction chamber.

Many people will be very surprised when they hear this news for the first time, they are all the same fuel balls, how can the power be doubled?

Taking uranium as an example, one kilogram of uranium-235 fission releases energy equivalent to 20,000 tons of TNT, that is, if you use uranium to make fuel balls, each fuel ball contains only one thousandth of a gram of uranium-235.

Such a small amount is a great test of manufacturing technology, and it is impossible for every fuel ball to contain so accurate uranium-235.

Moreover, the main raw material for the manufacture of fuel balls in Beiyuezhou is helium-3, and the energy released during helium-3 fusion is much higher than the fission of uranium-235, so the helium-3 contained in each fuel ball is far less than one thousandth of a gram, and the manufacturing difficulty is much higher than that of fission raw materials.

The power of the fuel ball can be controlled at about 20 kilograms, which is already the limit of the existing technology, and there is nothing strange about a little error.

Luo Qi said helplessly: "If only the hole was a little bigger, I will directly bring someone into it!" ”

The speaker had no intention of listening, and Ye Han's eyes lit up: "People can't get by, but the equipment can!" Luo Qi, throw a grenade into the hole immediately!"
