The base of the People's Union, in the presidential office building.

Leon rarely didn't have the heart to deal with the chores of the organization, but leaned on the leather sofa and fell into thought.

Michonne, Jesus, and Clermanting transmitted footage of their battle against the Followers from three different angles.

Looking at those monsters that were fast and swept over like a wave, Leon was reminded of a zombie movie he had seen in his previous life, "World War Z", which was a disaster movie in which a human army crumbled in front of zombies.

It's hard to imagine if this group of monsters who can ignore ordinary firearms, have extremely strong vitality, can't be killed by headshots, and are agile enough to pile up a human wall hundreds of meters high, appear in front of them.

What kind of despair would that be.

To be honest, even he is not sure that in the face of such a monster, he will protect the residents of the United Nations.

This is not alarmist, according to Hathaway and Dr. Melfa's speculation, among the hundreds of millions of monsters in the radiation zone, the number of sound followers is not small, it should account for one-third of the ordinary zombies, close to one-half, and the number can reach tens of millions.

Although for now, these monsters have been lurking in the radiation zone, hiding in those dark buildings, and no one will provoke them.

But no one can say for sure, for what reason or accident, the monsters in the radiation zone will rush out like a tsunami, sweeping away all the creatures in this world.

For this reason, even though the lives of the survivors have gradually reached a plateau, the researchers, scholars, military officers, and managers within the organization have never slackened their work.

Everyone is doing their best and doing their best to make the United Nations Organization more and more powerful.

It is precisely because of such external pressure that there is very little internal organization of the People's Federation, and there is a struggle for power and corruption.

While he was pondering how to deal with these followers, the little secretary Avril walked in with a creamy fruit cake.

Today this little goblin is also dressed very beautifully, slim waist and breasts, short skirt black silk, this girl seems to like to enhance her charm, every time she takes a vacation, she is not practicing yoga, fitness exercise, or reading and studying, buying clothes and accessories.

She put this high-calorie, pleasant snack in front of Leon, and then walked behind the boss very intimately, pressed her back and shoulders with a very professional technique, and said with a smile:

"Boss, you seem to be very worried, do you have anything on your mind?"

"I have good news."

"Old Professor Jacob of the Research Department has asked me to inform you that he has invited you to take some time to visit his laboratory."

"He has made a major breakthrough in his research and needs your support."

Leon closed his eyes and enjoyed a massage.

After hearing this good news, the spirit immediately came, and the original negative attitude was swept away.

Professor Jacob Sr. has always been an authority on nuclear energy technology, and any breakthrough in this research project can be said to be revolutionary.

He raised his head, picked up the creamy fruitcake on the table, stuffed it into his mouth in a few bites, then stood up and said:

"What time do you have to spare, I'm free now, let's go and have a look."

"I hope the old professor can surprise me."

………………

Half an hour later, Leon rode to a remote forest, broke through the layers of open posts and secret posts, and came to a large building.

Originally a hidden military base, Professor Jacob's experiments were too dangerous, so they converted it into a secret research institute dedicated to nuclear experiments.

After entering the laboratory, Professor Jacob was already waiting there, and Leon was surprised to find that his wife Peggy was also here, and the two stood there with smiles on their faces, like a father and daughter with a harmonious relationship.

Ten years after the end of the world, the old Professor Jacob is nearly sixty-five years old, his hair and beard have long become gray, his face is full of wrinkles, and his long-term work in the research laboratory has also made his body look a little thin.

However, the old man's spirit is very good, his light blue eyes are bright, his words and deeds are polite, and he has a scholarly temperament.

The old professor was very happy to see Leon coming, he reached out and grabbed Leon's wrist, and said with a smile:

"You're here just in time, Leon."

"Peggy just made a new invention for us, and she was able to see the results of our research."

Peggy is also in her thirties this year, and with the maintenance of the mysterious liquid that Leon often dedicates, she looks very young, and her body looks like a girl in her twenties, not like a mother who has given birth.

Seeing her husband's arrival, she unconsciously showed a lovely smile on her face, walked to Leon's side, kissed him on the side cheek, and then sweetly took her husband's arm and said:

"My dear, you're here, and you'll definitely be smiling from ear to ear when you see your supervisor's research results."

"It's amazing, if this were in the past peaceful times."

"The mentor will definitely win the Nobel Prize for this, and this invention will also usher in a new era for mankind."

Leon was slightly surprised, he held his wife's warm palm, he didn't expect Peggy to have such a high evaluation, which also aroused his strong curiosity.

Old Professor Jacob touched his snow-white beard and watched the interaction between the two with a smile, and his heart was full of warmth.

He is Peggy and Sherman's college tutor, he has no children and no daughters, and his years of companionship have made Peggy's siblings his closest descendants in the world, and even Peggy's youngest daughter is his favorite little girl.

And Leon is not a great president in his eyes, but more like his son-in-law.

Over the years, he has watched the organization of the People's Federation slowly grow and develop, and human civilization has gradually revived under the hands of Leon, in addition to lamenting the ups and downs of fate, he also has a feeling of pride for the spirit of self-improvement of future generations.

This is also the motivation for him to continue to engage in various research even as he is getting old and his health is not as good as before.

There was not much greeting, a group of people entered the research room, and the old Professor Jacob did not play tricks and sell anything, but directly presented his research results.

A cylindrical metal body, as if it was the kind of black technology battery in a science fiction film, appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

And in the center of this metal cylinder is a layer of transparent tempered glass, and a light blue liquid that shimmers fluorescingly flows through the glass, which looks very beautiful.

The old professor put the cylindrical metal iron into Leon's hand, his eyes shining with a certain light, but his tone was rather flat:

"Lyon, this is a miniature nuclear battery, a fairly stable miniature nuclear fusion reactor."

"It has emerged to solve many of our organization's problems in terms of energy."

Although the old professor of Accord was not loud and did not speak for a long time, after Leon heard it, there was a faint buzzing sound in his ears, and even his thinking was a little stagnant.

, what the hell, it's like a person, when you are middle-aged, and you are already poor and can't even afford to eat, your father suddenly says to you:

"Son, in fact, all these years, I have been testing you, our family is actually the richest man in the world, and you are the richest second generation in the world."

Miniature nuclear batteries!

This is a super black technology that can only appear in science fiction films, it stands to reason that with the current technology, shouldn't it be the first few transitional products?

How did it suddenly jump from a solid-state battery that can't even be driven by an electric car to a miniature nuclear battery?

As if sensing the shock in Leon's eyes, Old Professor Jacob also sighed and said leisurely:

"Leon, in fact, I myself am quite shocked, it stands to reason that with our modern technology, if we want to realize micro nuclear battery technology, I don't know how many difficulties we have to overcome and how many technical barriers we have to break through to achieve it."

"However, this miniature nuclear battery is not the kind in the traditional scientific sense, but I made it by accident using technology that even we can't explain ourselves."

"I'm able to produce this kind of battery, but I haven't fully figured out the principle of it."

"However, not figuring out how it works doesn't stop us from using it."

"You should be able to imagine what kind of change this super energy will bring to us."

Shocked for nearly a minute, Leon suppressed the excitement in his heart and forcibly calmed down:

"Professor Jacob, what the hell is going on?"

The old professor did not answer immediately, but took Peggy and Leon to the reception room of the institute, brought a cup of hot coffee to each of them, and then said:

"Remember the Z element extracted from the super mutants?"

Leon nodded, Z element is a necessary material for virus inhibitor stalemate, and at present, people infected with the virus in the human federation organization must take stalemate every month and consume a certain amount of Z element.

Professor Jacob took a sip of unsweetened black coffee and went on to explain:

"When we first refined this element, we found that the reason why those super mutants were able to absorb nuclear radiation and strengthen and mutate their bodies to that extent was because of element Z, which is a super catalyst stabilizer in the face of nuclear reactions, and has a very magical effect."

"But for so many years, no matter how much we have studied, we have not been able to figure out the principle of this, nor can we artificially copy the Z element, and we can only capture those super mutants through extremely dangerous battles."

"But five years ago, the fungus virus infected all the oil and gas, and our human energy technology suffered a heavy blow, greatly weakening our strength."

"So, at that point, I thought, while we can't figure out how Z works, that doesn't stop us from using it."

"And the most amazing ability of this element is to be able to catalyze and stabilize nuclear reactions, so that this very difficult to control nuclear fusion reaction can be stabilized and can be used by us."

"That's why I've formed a research team and been working on this aspect of research ever since."

"We hope to develop a safe and convenient super energy source."

"I am very fortunate that after so many years of hard work, I finally lived up to everyone's efforts."

Leon nodded, this was a project he had approved, but at that time, the purpose of Professor Jacob's research was to figure out the capabilities and principles of element Z, and there was no mention of miniature nuclear batteries.

However, this is all a side matter, he is a pragmatist, since something has been made, no matter what method is used, as long as it can bring benefits to the United Nations, it is a good baby.

He replaced the battery in the old professor's hand and asked:

"Professor Jacob, what I'm most concerned about right now is, what is the capability of this nuclear battery?"

The old professor touched his beard, thought about it for a while, and then said:

"It's too detailed, you may not understand, I'll give you a simple example."

"In the past, one of our nuclear reactors produced between 400 megawatts and 1,200 megawatts."

"And the power generation efficiency of this miniature nuclear power plant in my hands is about one percent of that of an ordinary reactor, and it can reach about six megawatts."

"In other words, it can produce about 6,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity per hour, which is enough to supply the electricity needs of a non-industrial town with a population of about 10,000."

"However, after being catalyzed by element Z, its endurance is a little worse, and it can be used for about six to seven years."

After speaking, he looked at Leon, who was a little stunned in his seat and fell into a state of shock, jokingly flipped the miniature nuclear battery in his hand, and said:

"Although the battery in my hand is very stable now, it is basically impossible to explode."

"However, if it is detonated by a special method, it can probably directly vaporize everything about a few hundred meters, and the shock wave generated can kill all life within ten kilometers."

"So, it's both a super energy source and a super weapon."

Leon looked in shock at the small object in Professor Jacob's hand, which was only the thickness of an arm's arm and less than thirty centimeters long.

I never thought that such a small battery could supply a small town with electricity for six or seven years, and even kill lives within a radius of ten kilometers.

It's a hack.

He forcibly suppressed all the distractions in his heart, still remained calm, and asked solemnly:

"Professor, are the conditions difficult for the production of such miniature nuclear batteries with the capabilities of our organization? How long does it take? What resources are needed? ”

Old Professor Jacob looked at Leon in front of him with admiration, he had always liked the young man's steadiness and unfazed manners.

It is precisely because no matter what happens, this young leader, who never panics and always makes the right decisions, that the organization has slowly grown to the current level.

He touched his beard and said slowly:

"Leon, don't worry, although we can't produce this super energy on a large scale, as long as you can provide enough materials, the efficiency of manual production is not low."

"The other materials are not too difficult to obtain, but the two main materials are radioactive materials and element Z."

"We have controlled several nuclear power plants before, and the stock of radioactive materials is quite abundant, and we are probably able to produce five hundred miniature nuclear batteries of this model."

"However, the Z element in the organization is quite scarce, and most of it is used to produce virus inhibitors, and the remaining part can only be used to make two more models of the same type, or multiple more miniature miniature nuclear batteries."

"If you want to use this technology on a larger scale, you'll have to hunt more super mutants and get more Z."

After listening to Professor Jacob's words, Leon's heart seemed to be poured with a basin of cold water, and his excitement calmed down a little.

Super mutants, where is it so easy to encounter, and even if you do, it is quite troublesome to kill them.

In the last ten years, there have only been five super mutants encountered by the Human Federation.

They are the big pink octopus, the super mutant spider, the giant Tom, the mutant crab queen of Miami, and the super big turtle in the sea that has not yet been determined.

This shows the rarity and secrecy of these creatures, not to mention whether they can be killed, and even finding them is quite difficult.

Seeing that her husband Leon was in thought, Peggy, who was sitting next to the two, smiled slightly, and said to Professor Jacob:

"Mentor, didn't you say to show Leon the weapon I made?"

"The matter of super mutants is not something that can be solved right now, so let's see if the weapon I made is good or not, right?"

Faced with Peggy's invitation, neither man refused, and they arrived with a miniature nuclear battery, located at the bottom of the secret research institute in a room that looked like a shooting range.

At the end of the shooting range, there was a large row of large steel plates with a thickness of tens of centimeters, some of which had been hit by some weapon on the surface, leaving several huge holes larger than heads.

And in the middle of the playground, there is a large firearm with a very sci-fi shape.

After entering the shooting range, Peggy, who looked sweet, said to Leon in a show-off tone:

"Honey, look."

"This is what I designed, the high-energy laser gun, used with the nuclear battery, the power will definitely make you very satisfied."
