Chapter 115: Uranium Rods
The words Ye Heng heard were directly Chinese, and the main brain automatically translated the Japanese.
Nuclear Island, isn't this the place Ye Heng is looking for?
The door to the office next to it opened, and a woman walked out, holding some papers in her hand and a document on her chest.
He stared at the document for a moment, and accidentally saw the woman's career line, and was immediately attracted, but he looked away after a while.
The woman walked out of the elevator and was about to go downstairs, Ye Heng asked the reconnaissance robot to hurry up, he was also going to the nuclear island, by the way, he didn't want to watch the ball.
Ye Heng followed the woman downstairs, and then went around a lot before he arrived at a door, which looked much more advanced.
The woman pressed the ID on her chest against the electronic lock on the door, then pressed it with her thumb.
This one is two-factor authentication and much more secure.
After the door opened, the woman walked in, and Ye Heng also followed her in.
"What is it?" Sakurai sensed someone behind him, so he quickly looked back, but found nothing, so he shook his head and continued to walk forward.
Ye Heng breathed a sigh of relief in the control room, it was so dangerous that he was almost discovered.
When you enter the nuclear island, there is a lot of equipment, which is what a nuclear power plant should be.
There are also many people working in it, and Ye Heng is standing on the stands at this time.
Below him, in the recessed place, there were a lot of equipment, Ye Heng raised his head, there were many rooms above the stands, and I don't know where it leads.
Sakurai continued to walk on the passage in the stands, opened one of the doors, and walked in, with Ye Heng also following behind her.
Inside, turning left and right, Sakurai finally came to a room.
Sakurai handed over the information in his hand to Tian Cheng, and then talked with Tian Cheng for a while before walking out.
Ye Heng walked around during this period, but he didn't find anything, so he followed Sakurai out.
Sakurai went directly out of the nuclear island, Ye Heng didn't go out, he planned to find a place to put nuclear fuel.
But this place was much more complicated than he had imagined, with many doors, and many passages, and he didn't know where they led.
This place should be part of the nuclear island, and there should be other areas.
Ye Heng carefully searched for a long time, and almost searched all the places where the passages in this area were direct, but he didn't find anything.
In those places where there are doors, Ye Heng didn't dare to open them at will, because he didn't know if there were cameras here or if there were people in the door.
If there were people inside, it would be impossible for them to contact the wind, and when the time comes, the door shown in the camera will open automatically, which will cause panic inside the nuclear power plant.
This is extremely unfavorable for Ye Heng, in the case of chaos, the other party will control the nuclear fuel more strictly, and maybe it will be transferred.
There was no way, Ye Heng had to wait for those people to walk into the door, and the reconnaissance robot followed in.
Soon it was evening, and most of the staff went back to rest, except for some who were on duty.
Ye Heng was very disappointed this day, there was almost no useful harvest, there was nothing in this nuclear island area, except for the few equipment below.
I don't know what this device is for, Ye Heng asked the main brain to search and compare it on the Internet, anyway, it's not a reactor.
After waiting for a long time, it was already midnight, and Ye Heng finally followed a staff member to another area.
Inside, it's the same layout, with some other equipment underneath.
There are basically no people in this area, and there are almost no rooms, only two passages, one of which is where Ye Heng came.
The other one is on the right, and I don't know where it leads.
Ye Heng immediately felt that this place was unusual, so he asked the main brain to search and found that the equipment below was actually a pressure vessel.
The pressure vessel is the heart of the nuclear power plant, where the nuclear fuel fissions and transfers heat through the coolant, where the coolant can be water or liquid metal, usually called pressurized water reactor, sodium-cooled reactor, and high-temperature gas-cooled reactor are named according to what the coolant is.
Since this place has not been closed, it means that it has not been loaded, which is good news.
It is estimated that the other channel is the same nuclear fuel.
When the man entered, he checked the place around and walked to another passage.
The scout bot hurriedly followed, the doors of these two passages were different, and multiple verifications were required to open.
The staff member opened the door and walked in.
Sure enough, inside was the place where the fuel was stacked, and strings of uranium rods were stacked here, this was what Ye Heng needed.
After simple purification, natural uranium ore is obtained from yellow cake, and the purified uranium compound is gradually converted into uranium hexafluoride after several steps, so as to facilitate separation and concentration by gas centrifuge.
It is through the cascade of gas centrifuges to gradually enrich uranium-235 with an abundance of about 0.7% in natural uranium to about 4.5%; this process exists in the situation of uranium hexafluoride, and the enriched low-enriched uranium has an abundance of about 4.5%, and the tailing material after separation is depleted uranium, which contains 0.2--0.3% uranium-235.
Low-enriched uranium must be converted again into uranium oxide, and then the embryo is made and sintered into uranium oxide ceramics, that is, nuclear fuel pellets
What Ye Heng finally found was this substance, the nuclear fuel in this warehouse, enough for this nuclear reactor to last for a year, environmentally friendly and efficient.
This man was just for a routine inspection, and he came out immediately, and Ye Heng also came out, he didn't need to carefully observe the situation inside, he just needed to remember this location.
Ye Heng followed this person and walked out directly, and then came to the previous area.
All he had to do now was get out of here and let the war robots loot it, but it still needed to be carefully planned.
How to make things less influential, how to disguise them as ordinary robberies instead of using high technology.
Because the characteristics of the laser are too obvious, if Ye Heng wants to enter the nuclear fuel warehouse, he can only enter by cutting the shell.
But afterwards, they will find that the incision in this place is very smooth, and it is easy to think of a laser.
If it is known by the media, it will soon be known to the international community.
Ye Heng was worried about Chen Huating, and after they found out, they would associate with themselves.
After all, they have used lasers many times before, and when they read this news, they will think of the corpses and buildings of those people before, with smooth incisions, just like the accident at the nuclear power plant.
And he also has an exchange of enriched uranium with them, so it is easy to think of himself.
In any case, this matter is carefully considered.
