Chapter 52: Concentric Circles
In fact, if Zhang Tianhe is from the bottom of his heart, he is not sensitive to material things, and anything in the external world is a floating cloud to him, except for delicious food, of course...... He thinks that the worst thing about him is that he has a very vicious mouth, scolding is also poisonous, talking is also poisonous, and he loves to eat, and he wants to get something rare to get over his mouth, and he doesn't know who this is, his parents disappeared when he was very young and didn't know where to go, so this can't be verified, for him he thinks this is his biggest problem - that is, he can't always say good things, and he can't control his mouth.
But when he arrived near the fusion furnace, he had the urge to say something complimentary, but it was a bit strange for people to suddenly act jubilant when they got angry, as if only women had the right to do so, and men would be called hypocritical if they did so. So he stubbornly kept his mouth shut, as if he was afraid to say something that would be pleasant.
Although Mars is the highest-end user of controllable nuclear fusion, there are only two fusion furnaces on Mars, one to supply the energy of the entire planet, and the other to supply the particle cannon array in orbit. As long as the inexhaustible energy source of atomic energy is made large and sophisticated, it can actually supply the energy consumption of 200 million people on Mars. The fusion furnace on Mars is built in Mariner Canyon, which is the largest and deepest canyon found in the solar system, it is eight kilometers deep, 800 kilometers wide, and more than 3,700 kilometers long, you must know that the diameter of Mars is only about 6,800 kilometers, which is equivalent to half of the face is occupied by this Grand Canyon, so Mars is a scarred face and very ugly. Of course, the fusion furnace was built in this canyon because of safety issues, you know, if such a large fusion furnace explodes, its radiation will immediately encircle the entire Mars, and if something happens in a pit, there will be a chance to escape. There is no city around the Martian fusion furnace, except for the necessary security personnel and staff, no idle people and other activities are allowed around the fusion furnace, and because it is in the pit, most Martians have never actually seen it, even if they look at it from a distance.
Of course Zhang Tianhe has seen it, but he doesn't have a good impression of Mars in the first place, and he uses it as a tool for all these physical things, and he doesn't do physics, so he really doesn't think there's anything great about the fusion furnace on Mars - maybe only when it explodes, Zhang Tianhe will think it's amazing. But this fusion furnace on Mercury is different, it is placed in a densely populated city, and it is exposed to the public's view, and when the landing craft is far away, you can see this guy firmly on the ground like a basin, sixty or seventy meters high, such a height is considered the height of a landmark building in Silverheart. When their ship flies in through the entrance and exit, you will see that there are concentric circles of buildings inside, forming a target-like building complex, surrounding the fusion furnace around the center of the concentric circle.
On Mars, because there is enough space, the fusion furnace is a tower, and in its structure there is only a small part of the reactor where the fusion reaction takes place, this part is buried deep underground, and most of the remaining components are used to confine various particles and rays, and finally there is a real converter that converts the energy generated through various processes into various energy sources that people can use. For example, the particle cannon filters out other useless particles and emits high-energy particles from the converter, the neutron cannon fires high-energy neutrons, and the engine generally shoots out all the matter and energy in one go. As for the rays produced by fusion, most of them are absorbed and filtered out in the middle components, if not, then when the star accelerates towards the surface of Mars, it will emit a huge amount of gamma rays, which will directly penetrate Mars, and all the particles hit by this ray will be seriously ionized, and the ions produced will at least corrode all kinds of complex organic molecules in the human body such as proteins, nucleic acids, and enzymes. In this sense, the Star has to be careful every time it accelerates. If it were near the Earth, there would be no such problem, because the Earth's atmosphere blocks most of the gamma rays, and less than a certain magnitude of intensity is a minor problem for the Earth, but ...... It is said that the reason for the extinction of corals, pen worms, and nautilus snails in the Ordovician Sea is that a star sprayed a stream of gamma rays to the earth, which destroyed the ozone layer on the earth, and caused violent climate change caused by ultraviolet direct irradiation on the earth's surface......, causing the extinction of 85% of the earth's life. When it comes to extinction, no one is more unlucky than the creatures that went extinct in the latest thermonuclear war, because the reason is really funny. When people ask, how did you get exterminated? Because a creature like us made a powerful weapon, these guys fought, and I didn't even have my turn to shout and fight well before I was exterminated...... This can't be said anyway, people who listen to it must laugh, and they can't avoid some creatures after dodging the rainstorm meteors? You don't want to inquire about which mass extinction in the universe was caused by other creatures, I don't believe it! So, the narrator of the earth, let's say the killer whales, had to bow their noble heads in embarrassment......
All in all, the only difference between this fusion furnace on Mercury and the fusion furnace on Mars is that one is upright, the other is lying down, the principle is the same, and the one on Mercury is better than the one on Mars, because when Mars was built, people did not have such high scientific and technological achievements, and they could burn high incense and pay attention to what they were talking about. Mercury is a design drawing made by the Martians after fully mastering this technology, most of the wiring is built in the wall, and all the repositors, filters, and converters are also built on a circle of rings, which looks very clean and tidy, but this shape is a little difficult to describe, in an English word, the inside of this guy looks a bit like an asshole from above...... However, if you look at it from the outside, there is no such problem, the outermost layer of the fusion furnace is its last guarantee, and there is a layer of partition made of nuclear metal with a high number of atoms, that is, a lead layer, to prevent radiation leakage, but ...... There's a for this......
"The entire Silver Heart City is actually equivalent to a boxed nuclear bomb, just like this, you all dare to hang on to it, you can make people ......" Zhang Tianhe and his party walked towards the fusion furnace, he opened his mouth and said, but he didn't say anything more halfway through, he was very tired of being angry, he had already sprinkled all his strength, and he didn't bother to say it anymore. Hey, old dog, you better go and get all the people I want here, I'll take people with me and leave directly, your place is too dangerous, I don't want to follow you to give my life. Mr. Zhou, let me ask you, if an agent can enter the charging port of the fusion furnace, does he have the ability to do some craftsmanship here to blow up the entire fusion furnace? β
He said such a heartbreaking word, which made Shu Chengchun next to him break out in a cold sweat when he heard it, but Abigail pretended not to hear it, and was busy giving orders to bring the people Zhang Tianhe wanted over.
"It's not that easy, the core of the fusion furnace is a strong electromagnetic field outside, its core is not very big, but the electromagnetic field machine used to restrain the fusion core is quite huge, and it is equipped with insurance, whether it is from the inside or from the outside, the slightest change in the magnetosphere will stop working, and the fusion core inside will stop."
"Oh...... Do you know that the first to make a fusion reactor was us Chinese, and we were the first to heat the fusion core to 50 million degrees Celsius, which is more than three times the temperature of the solar center, and all the current fusion technology is developed from this basis. In the middle of the conversation, they arrived at the place where the fusion furnace was used to charge the landing craft, and Zhang Tianhe was still very interested in the topic of blowing up the fusion furnace, "If we use the particle cannon to penetrate the shell of the core of the fusion furnace and export its energy, won't we be able to blow up this furnace?" β
"Theoretically, that's the case, so all the fusion furnaces we produce are equipped with highly sensitive and high-strength materials, and you only need to shoot the first shot and it will stop the fusion, unless you can shoot it through with one shot, otherwise there is no chance of a second shot."
"Really? If you want to come here, you have a sensor system, right? If we use that little girl's trick to fascinate the person in charge of the induction system and ask him to turn off the induction system, then we ......can't fight slowly at this time" Zhang Tianhe said while getting off the spaceship, at this time the group of them had already reached the place where the concentric circles were quite inside, Zhang Tianhe glanced at Shu Chengchun and sneered. "Did you see, a small core charged by a landing craft weighs several tons, and they can let a little girl sneak in and secretly charge two landing craft, and almost lose the third one, Mercury is really a magical planet......"
As mentioned earlier, the landing craft itself does not have the ability of nuclear fusion, its flight energy comes from a small charging core, this small engine needs to be charged in the fusion furnace before it can fly, now, after the loss of two boats, two charging cores, Mercury's charging department has strengthened its vigilance, each landing craft and each charging core are dragged out and placed outside the hangar, one by one military police are like javelins at intervals of distance inserted one, some holding sonic cannons, some holding small particle guns, it looks quite scary. Zhang Tianhe came down from their tarmac and was stunned when he saw this battle.
"It doesn't seem to be so vulnerable, this little girl is amazing!" He couldn't help but admire, and finished saying today's good words, "What do I say, women are the enemy of all things, and it doesn't take a second one to disintegrate a planet, and it doesn't need how high her quality is, a sixteen-year-old girl is enough......"
At this time, Chengtuo tugged Zhang Tianhe's sleeve behind him and motioned him to look to the other side. As soon as Zhang Tianhe turned around, he saw that several soldiers on the other side of them were walking over with a little girl, this was a little girl who looked ordinary, not only not as good-looking as Athena, but also not as good as Jenny Yang, she was thin and small, seemed to be malnourished for a long time, her hair was dry and split and thin and yellow, and her thin black arms were behind her back, shaking in the sleeves that looked half empty above. This is a Chinese girl.
ββ¦β¦ Hey, a bereaved milk dog ......" Zhang Tianhe was about to speak, and vaguely smelled a very good fragrance, and rushed towards him with the girlβhe closed his mouth.
