Monster Factory

Before entering the ocean, the humpback whale has a few more steps to take, or heat engines.

Nuclear reactors made of weapons-grade enriched uranium cannot be stopped once the fission reaction is activated, and the only thing that can be done is to reduce the reactor's energy output.

Now the reactor is in the heat engine.

The reactor was placed under the cockpit of the humpback whale, where monster workers used almost state-of-the-art alloy metal to keep the reactor safe. Meanwhile, according to Ye Qing's proposal, the monster workers also set up the last safety lock.

Once the reactor is under loss control, or technically out of control, it reaches an irreversible position.

The connecting pipes on the reactor and the one-circuit cooling water connecting device are automatically disconnected, while the armor beneath the reactor automatically releases the fixing bolts and falls into the underwater compartment with the reactor.

The mission of this watertight compartment is to sink into the deep sea with a reactor.

This is an insurance lock that, once implemented, must pay a huge price. Although the probability of such an event is unlimited, any possible scenario, if any, must be addressed in the use of nuclear energy.

At the same time, the locks were designed with technical difficulty, second only to reactors.

Whether it is a circuit of coolant or various connecting pipes on the reactor. They all have to be under very high pressure in their work. Ordinary engineers, when designing these pipes, hate that they cannot be fortified in any way, especially at the pipe interface.

Now monster workers are going the other way, designing these interfaces as automatic shedding modes.

One can imagine the technical difficulty of this.

There's also the manufacturing of the underwater compartment, which is not a regular compartment. After accommodating the uncontrolled reactor, the ordinary compartment is likely to be destroyed by high temperatures or exploded under enormous pressure shortly.

The nuclear reactor, even in the event of an accident, is a slow fission process that does not instantaneously release all its energy like a nuclear bomb.

A specially manufactured watertight compartment ensures that the reactor can be sealed for at least two days. At this time, Ye Qing was also given salvage treatment time. As for the salvage programme, and the rational programme, for the time being, is not available.

After all, in the event of a major nuclear reactor incident at sea, the whale can be preserved if the reactor is lost.

If not thrown away, the humpback whale and reactor are buried together, which makes it much harder to salvage.

In addition to the reactor, the humpback whale has a 5000KW backup generator unit that can power the entire ship in addition to power.

In the cockpit, on a circular high-tech console, an electronic percentage dashboard representing reactor energy data has been lit with an 18% power sign.

A circuit of cooling water temperatures is slowly climbing up from 180 degrees, and when it exceeds 375 degrees, the Ultra-supercritical Unit is preheated.

The backup generator unit is now also being activated to provide working energy for electrical equipment throughout the ship. Ye Qing thought for a few seconds and gave the command to the call system.

Two minutes later, eight metal experts, four skilled masters, walked into the cockpit outside the escalator, the entire crew of the humpback whale.

“Ultra-supercritical Unit, how long till it starts? ”

"At one hour and twelve minutes, when the supercritical unit starts, the nuclear reactor will be in normal power working condition, and we can use the Whale as a power station in our spare time. It generates more than enough electricity to supply a city. ”

“Well, now that you've divided your responsibilities and returned to your respective roles, I need you to check the ship's work data again.” Ye Qing clenched his fist.

Ten minutes later, the monsters came in and checked the data one by one and reported it.

“Boss, everything's fine in the reactor control compartment. ”

“Critical cabin is normal. ”

“Electromagnetic engine power compartment is normal. ”

“The electrical control compartment is normal. ”

“Liquid oil and air pressure compartment are normal. ”

“Very well, now I will open the cargo lid, electrical control compartment and fluid air compartment to see if the work data is normal.” Ye Qing spoke while also looking at a path of data on the main console. A giant ship capable of carrying 20,000 tons of cargo would normally require around 60 crew members and 20 to 30 tankers in bulk.

This is also the most advanced ship combined with the number of crew, and the number of vintage ships has more than doubled.

The more electrically automated humpback whale could easily be manoeuvred by only a few monsters if it was not equipped with mankind's highest industrial nuclear ship reactor.

All cabin work data for the entire ship can also be displayed on the console. Ye Qing now needs to test whether these data are accurate.

Four very textured moving switches were opened by Ye Qing Yi, and as the first switch moved, the whole humpback whale seemed to survive.

The hydraulic oil supply system works immediately, even in the cockpit, Ye Qing can hear the system's low and strong working sound. Then, on the back of the humpback, there was a thick metal case larger than the basketball field, rising slowly.

Inside the platform, some delicate small parts, resonated by a low bursting sound, with belts that keep beating on metal trays.

Even outside the platform, those seawater edges that come into contact with the platform are vibrating with joy.

When the warehouse on the back of the Whale is fully open, the eight-story height of the warehouse lid is like a hundred-fold enlarged missile launch lid, standing still there, under which is a huge warehouse that holds 200 standard containers.

A hidden spotlight was lit and the interior of the 20-metre deep warehouse was equally white.

The same warehouse also had three, which were opened by Ye Qing in turn.

The monsters report coming in, and it's all normal.

One hour later, the nuclear reaction, a circuit of coolant, was heated to 375 degrees by circulation, formally entering the supercritical state, while the super-supercritical unit was synchronously activated for spindle preheating rotation.

One hour and twenty minutes later, with a shocking earthquake, two UHV steams of 200,000 kW power intervened to reach 600 degrees and the UHV unit was officially put into working condition.

At this moment, the humpback is fully activated.

Looking at the 50% power output on the energy dial, Ye Qing took a deep breath and “opened the gate. ”

At this moment, driven by a motor, the gate of two three-gorge boats in front of the humpback whale opened slowly towards both sides. After dozens of seconds, the first wave of sea water surged rapidly along the gap. After a few minutes, the sea water was poured into the channel like a flood.

Meanwhile, the humpback whale's dark, flat hull was exposed to sea water for the first time.

The water can carry the boat, and when the lane is completely filled with sea water and consistent with the sea level, the self-contained humpback whale is already floating above the sea. The lower lifting platform, also driven by the hydraulic system, is completely lowered to the same height as the channel.

Ye Qing stood in the cockpit and looked over along the long back of the boat. He could see the sparkling ocean under the light.

“Let's go.” Ye Qing said in a high mood.
