Chapter 144 Chapter 202203 The Island of Calamity (monthly ticket plus X2)

"This island is an unnamed island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Because of its small area, it is also an active volcano. It is surrounded by shallows and reefs. It is not suitable for the construction of airports and ports. It has no military or transportation value." Qin said in the Xuanwu Conference Hall. Peng unfolded the map.

"Because we found a terrestrial insect nest, we named it the "Island of Disaster"."

"Xuanwu, what information is there about the island of disaster?" He Xingzhou asked.

Xuanwu called out the information on the island of disaster and said: “The Worm’s Nest on the island of disaster was discovered by a marine scientific research organization. When they approached the island, they were attacked by the Zerg and sent out a distress signal, and then the entire army was wiped out.”

"The members of the Blue Star Alliance sent reconnaissance planes to reconnaissance that day, and they also encountered Zerg attacks. The throwing reconnaissance robot found that there were a large number of Zergs inside the volcano, which was suspected to be a terrestrial insect nest."

It shows some fragments sent by the reconnaissance robot. The vegetation on this island is unusually dense. Looking down from the crater, there are deposited volcanic ash and various tall vegetation. From time to time, we can see some strange-shaped zergs moving.

Further down, all are covered by vegetation, I don’t know what is hidden inside!

"Looking at the density of the Zerg, it is in an active volcano. The possibility of a worm nest is as high as 90%!" Song Jinghong said, "Previous detections have proved that the Zerg can absorb geothermal energy!"

"Only geothermal energy can raise so many terrifying monsters!" Kong Qing added.

A small island, what resources can there be to feed the Zerg, it depends on the geothermal energy of the volcano!

"Once there is a terrestrial insect nest, the evolution of the terrestrial zerg will be hundreds of times faster!" He Hongwei said, "The island of disaster is in the Pacific Ocean again. The scope of influence includes us. This insect nest must be destroyed!"

"The opinions of all parties in the Blue Star Alliance are now that hydrogen bombs are dropped, causing a volcanic eruption and destroying it!" Qin Peng said, "What do you think?"

"You can't do this perfunctory!" He Xingzhou said, "Destroying the Worm's Nest is certainly possible. But this Worm's Nest is also our opportunity!"

"In our current experimental samples, there are almost no advanced terrestrial zergs! Even if we drop hydrogen bombs on the island of disaster, it may not be able to kill all the zergs. For example, the giant beasts that can hide in the magma will be able to resist. The hydrogen bomb exploded!"

"So before destroying it, we must first get enough Zerg samples!"

"Some people from various parties have also raised this point." Qin Peng said, "but they don't have much confidence."

"After the sinking of the aircraft carrier fleet in the Mariana Trench, everyone was very afraid of the Worm Nest and worried about losing too much power."

"If you want to get a sample of the disaster island, you have to send an army to the disaster island. This is arguably the most dangerous task in the world! No one has the confidence to complete it!"

He Xingzhou nodded, this is the key question. First of all, the island of calamity is surrounded by shallows and reefs, and there are insect nests, and ships cannot get too close.

Even if the most elite Marines are dispatched for landing operations, it seems that they are just sending food to the Zerg.

"Anyway, always give it a try!" He Xingzhou said, "During this period, when I develop and develop nuclear batteries, I will upgrade the equipment. Such as armor, laser weapons, new fighters and the like."

"The chances of success will be much greater then."

"So let them not be impulsive, and wait a few months."

"Okay, we will have this attitude next time we have a meeting!" Qin Peng nodded.

……

Blue Star Alliance holds a global conference, this conference is completed through network holographic projection. Nowadays, mutated birds have appeared, and airplanes have become unsafe.

To be on the safe side, most world conferences are held online.

In the virtual meeting room, commanders appeared in the meeting room.

The virtual meeting room is in a circular shape, with a display stand and a speech stand in the middle. The commanders sit in sequence, the first-level commanders sit in the innermost circle, and then the commanders at all levels.

First-level commanders are basically from major countries, and with different strengths, the number of commanders is also different.

Currently, the number of commanders of the White Eagle and Shenlong is the largest, followed by Teddy Bear, Hans, and Gaul.

"Everyone, this time our Blue Star Alliance is convening a meeting to discuss the response of Worm's Nest on the Island of Calamity." Qin Peng said, "All parties can put forward their opinions."

At this time, none of the second-level and third-level commanders uttered a voice, because they knew very well that they had no ability to do anything to the Worm’s Nest on the Island of Calamity.

"Of course it was blown up!" A burly, sturdy commander spoke. His name is Igor York, from Teddy Bear.

"Our hydrogen bomb is ready! You can blow it up at any time!" he said.

"To deal with the Worm Nest, you can only use hydrogen bombs!" White Eagle Commander Harvey spoke. The deep-sea monsters in the Mariana Trench left him with an indelible shadow for a lifetime. Now he thinks of these guys. Nuclear weapons!

Their speeches were all expected by He Xingzhou and others.

Whether it is a white eagle or a bear, both possess a large number of nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons have a shelf life and need to be maintained every year, which costs a lot of money.

Once the expiration date has passed, these things become cumbersome, and it will cost money and threats to keep them, and it will be a waste to destroy them.

They are eager to throw these hydrogen bombs that are past the expiration date to the Zerg, so that they can free up resources to develop new weapons.

He Xingzhou said: “Using hydrogen bombs to blow up the Worm’s Nest is of course an indisputable choice. But I think that before blowing up the Worm’s Nest on the Island of Calamity, we can reserve space and send a team to capture samples of terrestrial Zerg!”

“Now there is only such a suitable land zerg research site in the world, and it’s just blown up. On the surface, it reduces the risk for us, but in reality it leaves a hidden danger for us to face the zerg in the future!”

"Dr. Ho." Herbert, a commander of Hans, said, "We also want to capture samples for research, but so far, none of the capture teams we have sent has succeeded!"

"If this goes on, it will only waste time and increase wastage in vain."

He Xingzhou did not deny, saying: “The disaster island is located in the center of the Pacific Ocean. It is dangerous to send ships alone. Landing is also dangerous. It is impossible to complete the capture mission with one or two small mission execution teams.”

"So I propose that we unite together to launch an offensive against the disaster island, use ships to cover, and dispatch landing teams to perform tasks. This way, the pressure on each aspect will be much less, and the chance of success will also increase."

"When the mission is over, let the ships parked nearby fire hydrogen bombs to destroy the insect nest!"

When everyone thinks about it, it is really difficult for them to succeed in a single action. If they unite together and carry out tasks at the same time, it is indeed possible for the Zerg to be unable to focus on a certain team.

"Dr. Ho said it makes sense!" Gallic commander Florent agreed, "I agree with this proposal!"

They also want to get research samples. Now there are a few big leaders, so why not do it.

"Dr. Ho's idea is indeed feasible. We are also planning to send a team to explore before blowing up the Worm Nest on the Island of Calamity. If this is the case, we will act together." Another White Eagle commander, Jonah, said.

"In this case, then we have no reason to refuse." Igor York also voted in favor.

Hans Commander Herbert said: "We have no opinion either."

Since none of these first-level commanders have any opinions, other commanders will not have any opinions.

So Qin Peng announced: "Then the joint exploration of the island of disaster is confirmed. Now we need to agree on a time and prepare together."

A lot of time has been spent on the negotiation time. Some people hope that the sooner the better, others say that they are not ready yet.

Finally, they decided to proceed in half a year.

Half a year is enough for them to make sufficient preparations. During this time, they will also study the Zerg and make corresponding weapons and equipment.

……

The matter has been set, He Xingzhou can prepare with peace of mind.

He disappeared from public view again and plunged into the laboratory.

He Xingzhou works at the Institute of Atomic Energy this time, and his partners are Dong Chen, Dean of the Department of Physics of Beijing University of Science and Technology, and Cai Hao, an atomic energy expert.

He Xingzhou’s teacher Zhang Boyan also studies nuclear physics, but at this time, he is leading a team to build a nuclear power plant and has no energy to do this.

"Our existing nuclear battery technology is a radioisotope battery." Dong Chen is introducing the research process of the team to He Xingzhou.

"The use of radioactive elements will continuously release energy in the form of rays with thermal energy in the process of metamorphosis. The magnitude and speed of this energy are not affected by the temperature, chemical reaction, pressure, and electromagnetic field in the external environment, so it has a strong Anti-interference and stability."

"In addition, radioactive elements have a long decay cycle and can be used for a long time."

"At present, the nuclear battery developed by us has been used on the Chang'e satellite."

He Xingzhou carefully read the existing research materials, the current nuclear battery is a low-voltage nuclear battery with temperature difference, its voltage is not high, and the electric energy is not very high.

It is more common to use in medical instruments and spacecraft.

But this kind of distance is ideal for He Xingzhou, which can promote the long-term movement of mechanical exoskeletons, mechas and robots, and even nuclear batteries that can release weapons such as lasers, high-voltage arcs, and electromagnetic pulses. There is too much difference.

"We are going to be a high-voltage nuclear battery!" He Xingzhou said, "Using tritium as a radioactive source, both the voltage and current intensity are much higher than the current temperature difference low-voltage nuclear battery."

"The problem with this is that tritium is very radioactive. How to control its decay in a small battery?" Cai Hao said, "In addition, its radiation is very strong, how can radioactive pollution be isolated?"

"I have a way!" He Xingzhou was naturally ready. He called Lumi and said, "Open the design."

Lumi, as the first voice intelligence he led the research and development of the team, is now growing rapidly and has become He Xingzhou’s life assistant.

Other smart devices have their own AI systems, so Lumi has basically become He Xingzhou’s personal AI.

Lumi’s crisp voice sounded: "The 3D design has been opened!"

In front of them, a design plan for a radiation insulation layer appeared. He Xingzhou introduced: “I use a multi-layer combined insulation layer design, using a composite radiation protection layer composed of carbon nanomaterials and nickel as the basis, and a multi-layered structure. They can effectively absorb and insulate radiation, and the thickness is only a few nanometers, so that 10,000 layers can be stacked, and the thickness is less than a millimeter!"

"According to the different radiation intensity of nuclear batteries, increasing the thickness can complete radiation isolation. In theory, as long as the insulation layer is not damaged, even if the nuclear battery is placed next to equipment or people, it will not affect people."

"This is another new type of material!" Seeing He Xingzhou's design, the two exclaimed.

Materials are the basis for the development of all practical technologies. Often a breakthrough in a material can drive the development of many aspects of science and technology!

"The next step is the transducer." He Xingzhou opened the second design drawing. "The transducer is the core of the nuclear battery. It converts the heat generated by the radioisotope atoms into electrical energy."

"The nuclear battery transducers we usually use are static thermoelectric transducers, which use the principle of thermocouples to generate potential differences in different metals to generate electricity, but such conversion efficiency is too low, less than 100%. Of thirty."

"So I designed a micro heat engine converter, which can increase the efficiency to more than 50%..."

He Xingzhou introduced his design carefully.

The whole team is listening to lectures and conducting research.

He Xingzhou is only a preliminary design and needs further improvement. At the same time, different styles of nuclear batteries are designed according to the manufacturing process and application scenarios.

Spacecraft nuclear batteries, micro-nuclear batteries for medical instruments, nuclear batteries for smart devices, and nuclear power converters for mechanical equipment, etc.

……

After the research on nuclear batteries got on the right track, He Xingzhou immediately began research on armor technology.

The first-generation general-purpose mechanical exoskeleton has now undergone many improvements, applied in military, engineering, and civilian use. Some companies have developed human mechanical prostheses with this technology.

He Xingzhou doesn't worry about these things anymore. The upgrades were handed over to the corresponding scientific research team.

He wants to study more powerful mechanical power armor, which is the so-called mecha!

Different from mechanical exoskeleton, the mecha will fully cover the human body, which is more powerful, and has a variety of high-tech weapons and methods.

According to He Xingzhou’s vision, a soldier wearing a mech must at least be able to hunt down the Zerg alone! Including those tough beetles and even the giant "super king crabs."

"Nuclear batteries are definitely not a problem." He Xingzhou thought to himself that he has verified the design and simulation of nuclear batteries many times on the computer.

Just wait for it to be manufactured before it can be used.

"So, now I can directly unlock the corresponding technology and develop mecha!"

He looked at Quantum Optic Brain, looking for the corresponding technology of mecha.

The technological system required by mechas is more complex, including mecha cores, power engines, control systems, defensive armor (internal and external), weapon systems (defense/attack), communication systems, energy devices, load systems, and so on.

It's up to conscience to talk about dragging more! Since it was launched, there have been eight chapters a day, and the starting point of the battle list has stabilized in the top three, rushing to the first place from time to time, and the entire website cannot find a few more updated than mine. Writing from morning to night, from waking up to 24:00 in the evening, but also to ensure quality, check information, improve cultural and preventive harmony, and work with illnesses, capitalists shed tears, and landlords were heartbroken when they saw it!

(唧唧唧) Still continue to ask for subscriptions and monthly tickets!
