Chapter 236: Dismantling the Nuclear Bomb

A nuclear fusion reactor is equivalent to a furnace, so nuclear fuel is equivalent to coal.

There's basically nothing wrong with this metaphor, but this thing feels like it...... Awkward.

Because this is a nuclear fuel thing, it is not a nuclear fuel for nuclear fusion reactors, but a combat part that has been removed from a nuclear bomb.

This...... Although the maintenance manual clearly states that this combat part can be used as nuclear fusion fuel, Dong Chen always feels that it is like throwing explosives into a furnace.

Although the conditions for the explosion of a nuclear bomb are quite harsh, this is a kind of human conditioned reflex, well, a psychological problem.

Dong Chen came to the ammunition bay with the maintenance manual now, looking at the nuclear bomb that was bigger than himself, he really didn't want to operate this thing.

Although Dong Chen has never seen that kind of miserable appearance in the real world, that is, he has seen images in some audio and video products, but this world has allowed him to see it all over again.

Especially since this scene was caused by this submarine, to be precise, by the brothers and sisters of the nuclear bomb in front of him.

After looking at the words on the maintenance manual that said 100% safe, Dong Chen followed the procedure on the maintenance manual a few times and opened the combat parts on the nuclear bomb.

This world is contradictory, advanced and retro coexist, complex and simple also coexist, only opened a metal guard, Dong Chen saw the core part of a nuclear bomb.

Looking at the tube that was quietly staying there, Dong Chen hurriedly stuffed the maintenance manual into his pocket, and then carefully took out the tube of nuclear fuel with both hands, looking at the energy tube made of unknown metal with the length of his arm, Dong Chen was truly speechless.

Although it is designed to be a uniform size and is friendly to logistics, it is always uncomfortable to use this thing as a nuclear bomb and fuel as a fuel.

I believe that when it comes to refueling a nuclear reactor in the real world, those workers must also be nervous.

This thing is not a machine-gun bullet, it can shoot tens of thousands of rounds a minute, and the consumption is not so great at all, a nuclear submarine can take decades to replenish a warhead and fuel, and the nuclear warhead may not even have a chance to be used.

If you have the time to scratch your head and work on the design, you can just prepare a few more tubes of fuel directly on the submarine, this submarine is 200 meters long, which is not bad for that place.

Helplessly, Dong Chen returned to the energy room with the tube of fuel, reopened the energy interface of the nuclear fusion reaction device, and then carefully stuffed the tube of fuel into it.

Seeing that the tube that was removed from the nuclear warhead was tightly packed in, Dong Chen always had a strange mood of "welding a detonator and sawing a bulb".

After confirming that the filling was completed, Dong Chen went to the operation table outside and restarted the nuclear fusion reactor according to the steps in the maintenance manual.

With an extremely low humming sound, Dong Chen's electromagnetic perception felt that a powerful energy in the energy chamber began to operate, and his eyes also saw that several dark cylinders in the energy chamber lit up with blue light, and some parts of the nuclear fusion reaction device were also running.

Looking at the energy gauge connected to the fusion reactor on the console, I watched the pointer turn from 0 to 100 before stopping.

Until the pointer stabilized at the 100 position, Dong Chen checked that the pressure of each part was normal according to the process on the maintenance manual, and looked at the normal operation of each part, which was a little refreshment.

Dong Chen found a chair and sat down, looking at the changes of various pointers and indicators on the operating table in front of him, according to the maintenance manual, special attention should be paid within fifteen minutes of this reactor restarting, so he had to wait for it to completely stabilize.

Fortunately, the military products of Huaguo, which radiate the world, are still strong, even if they have been idle for 200 years without maintenance, they can still be used after replacing the parts, and they are running quite perfectly.

Fifteen minutes later, after confirming that everything was normal, Dong Chen turned off all the backup power supplies, and then connected all the lines to the main power supply.

In an instant, the originally dim lights and some emergency lights were turned off, and the entire submarine was plunged into darkness, except for the normal operation of the nuclear fusion reactor in the energy room, which still emitted a faint blue light.

After a second, the lights were all on again, this time no longer a dim light to save energy, but a bright white light.

The bright white light began to light up from the energy management room, which was the cabin where Dong Chen was, and then the command cabin, rest cabin, entertainment cabin, resource cabin, hangar, corridor...... And so on, one by one, the cabins went from dark to bright, which made the somewhat dilapidated submarine look a little bit of a high-tech product.

Sure enough, lighting is a product of modern human civilization, and to a certain extent, it also represents the scientific and technological civilization of human beings.

After the first lights came on, some of the devices that were turned off to save energy gradually started to work.

For example, some monitoring screens lit up, at least a few monitors in front of Dong Chen lit up, which allowed Dong Chen to see the operation of several key parts clearly without entering the energy room.

Dong Chen could also feel that the air circulation system in the submarine was also running, because he could clearly see that the radiation content in the air measured by the radiation protection suit helmet was decreasing, and he believed that it would not be long before the radiation protection helmet could be removed.

This air circulation system may be indispensable for Dong Chen, even if he saves energy, he can't turn it off, but for Lao Zhao in the game, people are ghouls, and they are mutated because of radiation, and they are not afraid of radiation at all.

So this world follows the rules of the game, although there is no Lao Zhao here, but in order to save a little backup energy, the air circulation system of the large energy consumers is directly turned off.

Seeing that all the data was stable, Dong Chen left the energy management room with the maintenance manual and came to the command room.

"Now that the main energy source has been restored, it should be possible to restore the control system." Dong Chen looked at the maintenance manual and said.

Everything in the maintenance manual is written in detail, this is to make the submarine better perform the hidden mission, in order to allow the submariner to solve more problems independently, the compiler of this book is eager to write all the problems and solutions.

Strategic nuclear submarines are generally 108,000 miles away from the country, and after some problems, they simply cannot return to the dock in time for repairs, so they generally have to rely on themselves.

Just like the space station and the space shuttle, far away from the earth, it is even more impossible to get maintenance by professional engineers at any time, generally astronauts flip through thick technical manuals, and then cooperate with engineers to complete problem troubleshooting and maintenance tasks through remote communication, or just carry the technical manuals to do it themselves.

Therefore, Dong Chen also successfully checked and repaired the submarine's control system in accordance with the process in the maintenance manual, but Dong Chen was not very familiar with the submarine, and a lot of time was delayed in the process of repairing the system.

The only pity is that the hole blown out by the mine cannot be repaired, but fortunately it is okay after locking some of the hatches in the vicinity.

However, this had little impact on the submarine's movement work, so in the end, the submarine was repaired by Dong Chen.
