Volume 5: The Destruction of the Gods Chapter 45: Construction of a Nuclear Power Plant
Liu Dalang was under house arrest in a farmhouse, where the terrain was open and convenient for surveillance, and it was very close to the inner city. Shen Jin, wearing quantum armor, could reach the city in 10 seconds.
Liu Dalang thought to himself that there were people he knew among the survivors. Among them, Lao Wang, who arranged a place for him, was the former vice president of the company. He naturally knew him, but... no one recognized him now.
On the road, if the people from the Corpse Killing Team had not followed him, he would have scared everyone away. Even the pseudo-superhumans, when they saw the black-haired zombies, would have to run quickly and try their best to outrun their companions. Liu Dalang's current image is - pedestrians stop and children stop crying.
Liu Dalang, who was sitting in the farmyard, was surprised when the others left. "It was someone from Home No. 1 who saved me? Then... the person called the boss is Shen Jin!? It was him who saved me? The female spy from Shen Ji is his person?"
Liu Dalang had a lot of questions in his head. He thought it was the country that saved him and that the people from Tianluodiwang arranged this operation, but now it seems that it was the people from No. 1 Home who organized this... activity specifically to rescue him!
Unexpectedly, he, a generation of corpse hero, was rescued by Shen Jin.
He doesn't want to save face! ?
Obviously, it is not necessary.
The feeling of being home... smells so good!
At least there weren't a bunch of researchers in white coats trying to figure out how to take some parts out of him. If Liu Dalang was dismembered the moment he opened his eyes during his stay in Shenji, it wouldn't be surprising...
So scary!
It’s better now that no one recognizes him, and he pretends not to know others, thus avoiding a lot of embarrassment.
Even though he is now a third-level zombie, but... he feels inferior because of the way he is.
That’s right, Liu Dalang has always been inferior because he always regards himself as a “human”, so he feels inferior when he sees others looking healthy.
He can be half a person, but...
“LeLe…”
He looked at Su Lele who had followed him all the way, and his expression softened instantly: "Lele... you know that if you follow me, you have already recovered some of your human consciousness. I will do my best to help you advance to the third level... Recently, I always feel that the extraordinary paths of zombies and humans are getting closer and closer, and even at the fourth level... there will be fusion!"
Liu Dalang then shook his head. Perhaps it was just an illusion caused by his longing for his loved ones. After all, he was still far from being a fourth-order zombie. He couldn't even beat two ordinary third-order human transcendents.
In the absence of zombies.
"In that case, let me strengthen my power!"
Liu Dalang closed his eyes, and a sub-bass voice came out...
"Haha, the zombies in Q City will follow my voice. Although I thank you for saving me and Lele, but... without the power to protect myself, I will eventually become a prisoner. During the days in Shenji, I did not gain nothing. I finally understood my own value!"
He may be the only zombie who still retains human consciousness.
Half a day has passed...
Liu Dalang didn't feel any response from the zombies.
(°ー°〃)
"Eh? Where are the zombies???"
…
After resting for a night, Shen Jin got off Shang Qian's bed in high spirits. He touched her white and tender buttocks, which were extremely smooth and made him feel refreshed~!
In fact, Shen Jin didn't understand why the people in the movie could keep fighting...
Won’t you be tired?
Extraordinary people are not machines with unlimited energy!
An intense battle that puts a heavy physical and mental strain on one, requiring rest and adjustment.
The supernatural powers have been used up and need to be restored, and the hidden injuries in the body also need to be restored.
"But... yesterday's battle wasn't too intense. It was much easier than the one with the million zombies. They should be able to continue killing zombies in Hulu City today, right?"
The big capitalists are online.
However, these captains are currently arranged by Yang Ao, so he doesn't have to do everything himself, otherwise it would be too tiring to be the lord.
Moreover, he also believed in Yang Ao's abilities. If outsiders regarded Yang Ao as Shen Jin's number one bootlicker, they would have completely underestimated Yang Ao, a rich second-generation who had traveled all over the country and was an expert in wilderness survival.
He is definitely not as simple as he seems. From the first time I met him, even though his leg was broken, he decisively chose to join me. This kind of judgment that is not affected by the impulse of revenge is difficult for ordinary people to do. Someone broke your leg, and you turned around and called him your big brother. Not everyone can have this kind of spirit. Among the countless people, how many people can't let go of the so-called "face"?
At that time, Boss Zhao, one of the three gangs that broke into Shen Jin's villa, was thinking about how to get back his place and how to take revenge. If it weren't for Lao Meng persuading him to leave, he might have become a dried-up skeleton under Shen Jin's villa...
Now, Boss Zhao should thank Lao Meng, because he was living well in Home No. 1. When people from the Zushan Settlement came over, he volunteered to become a member of Shen Jin's team.
Now he is about to be promoted to a second-level transcendent, and his future is bright.
Sometimes a person’s future... often depends on a critical choice.
At Home Base No. 1, Shang Qian is in charge of internal affairs, Yang Ao is in charge of external affairs, Li Moxiao is in charge of the local area network, and Shen Jin is in charge of the center. It is very harmonious.
"There are still 68 days before the zombies start the next stage of the time lock. We have to hurry up! I have enough resources now. I just need to transform them into machines and install them in the base. I will use the power of the system to the fullest. The zombies...will be killed by me!"
Speaking of zombies, Shen Jin remembered the third-level intelligent zombie that he had imprisoned, and it was also accompanied by a female zombie.
"That female zombie must be someone it cared about before the end of the world, right? Even though... she's a little stupid, she's at least a loyal zombie, which is not common in the end of the world..."
Shen Jin came to the farmyard where the zombies were imprisoned. Inside, Liu Dalang was wondering why he couldn't call upon the zombies.
Have you been made stupid by the potion created by God?
Has your ability declined?
Or are the zombies here a little shy?
He could never have imagined that all the zombies in the entire Q City had been cleared out by Shen Jin and his team. Now the area around the city is almost in a zombie vacuum, and they will not be replenished for a long time.
At this time, seeing Shen Jin coming in, Liu Dalang, who had been sitting in the yard all night, stood up. He shrunk his third-level zombie body to the extreme, and was still 2.2 meters tall.
He was two heads taller than Shen Jin, but under the gaze of Shen Jin's cold quantum armor, Liu Dalang felt a sense of oppression. After witnessing Shen Jin's fighting ability, he felt psychologically inferior to him.
Gundam is justice!
"Good that you didn't try to escape last night!"
The first words from Shen Jin made Liu Dalang break out in a cold sweat. If they fell out now, he was afraid that he would immediately follow in the footsteps of the three third-order transcendents from Shen Ji. "Boss, you are joking. Since you saved me, I will naturally repay you. If you need any help, just let me know!"
Liu Dalang was very cooperative.
Shen Jin nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, you are very aware. I do have something for you to do, but before that I want to ask you... who were you before you became like this?"
Liu Dalang was suddenly shocked. If zombies’ sweat glands were not underdeveloped, sweat would have flowed out of his forehead. Did he discover my true identity?
Or... did he recognize Lele?
No, that's not right. We can't see it from our current state.
Liu Dalang calmed down and said, "We are all ordinary people in Q City. She is my...wife. I don't know how I became like this. I have been keeping her with me forever!"
"Well... well, I grew up here. This is the place where I stand. It's where I often go. I think maybe we knew each other before the end of the world. Have we met before?"
Shen Jin's nano helmet opened automatically, revealing his face. Liu Dalang took a look and quickly lowered his head and said, "I've never seen it before..."
"Okay, it doesn't matter. I came here to ask you something!"
"You say!"
"Do you consider yourself human?"
Liu Dalang raised his head and looked at Shen Jin: "I am absolutely sure that I am a human, but... I just have some viruses in my body. I will cure it in the future, including... the virus in my wife's body, I will find a way!"
"Then let me ask you another question. Can humans trust you?"
Liu Dalang was silent. This topic was too big, so big that he hadn't thought about what his future would be like. "I think, therefore I am. As long as my thoughts are still there, I will always belong to the human camp!"
Shen Jin asked again: "Even if you can merge with zombies? Summon them to use fusion skills? You won't fall in love with your zombie identity?"
Liu Dalang was silent for a moment, glanced at Su Lele, and looked up at the sky, "I want to fuck..."
Shen Jin stood in awe.
"That's it!"
After a while...
Shen Jin suddenly asked: "After you become a zombie...how do you keep your previous memories?"
"I myself don't understand why this happened..." said Liu Dalang.
Shen Jin nodded, "Come with me to Lao Fu's laboratory. He is interested in you. Cooperate with him to do some testing. After that... forget it. Let's talk about it after you finish the test!"
"good!"
Shen Jin handed Liu Dalang over to Lao Fu, and Li Moxiao was responsible for taking care of him temporarily.
If Lao Fu can't figure out the situation, Shen Jin will let him go and let him lead the zombie fight. Perhaps he can become a powerful chess piece for him.
After seeing what was happening here, Shen went into the workshop to make a batch of new materials, and came to the edge of the outer city, which was already within the range of the Zushan Mountains. He controlled the quantum armor to defend his whole body, and then took out a [nuclear reactor] and placed it on the top of the hill. He placed [nuclear reaction chambers] on its six sides, thus building the core of a nuclear power plant. Nuclear reactions would take place in these seven chambers, generating a large amount of electricity.
But… the construction of a nuclear power plant is simple, but the layout inside is very complicated, and it requires precise layout to ensure that the nuclear reactor generates electricity continuously, instead of… Boom!
"Fortunately, there are strategies provided by the system... There are several layouts of nuclear power plants. According to the layout provided by the system, as long as regular maintenance is performed, safe power supply can be guaranteed. However... For safety reasons, it is better to protect this thing!"
Shen Jin took out the strongest block at present - [Explosion-proof Stone]. This is a block that is harder than [Obsidian]. As the name suggests, its function is explosion-proof. Shen Jin used [Explosion-proof Stone] to surround the small nuclear power plant that he had just built. "No... I have to add another layer to be safer!"
After Shen Jin made several arrangements, he finally ended up with 3 layers of [explosion-proof stone]. The 3-meter-thick ultra-high hardness material can definitely withstand the explosion... right?
Shen Jin began to place things into the [nuclear reactor], including the [heat sink], [advanced heat sink], [overclocking heat sink], etc. for heat dissipation, as well as [cooling unit], [neutron reflector], [heat exchanger] and other parts. When Shen Jin was playing games before, he basically didn't touch nuclear power because it was too complicated and too brain-burning!
If you don't handle it properly, the base will explode!
If the system had not already provided several ways to combine and arrange parts, Shen Jin might have continued to build his own wind power station. Although the amount of electricity it provides is not as much as that of a nuclear power plant, it is more stable and safe.
"Among the several ways to operate a nuclear power plant given in the system, the lowest level is the '42000' stable nuclear power plant. Not many materials are used, and once the nuclear power plant is in operation, its own heat dissipation and consumption become a perfect ratio. You don't need to worry about it. It runs automatically. You only need to replace the fuel rods about once a year. Not many fuel rods are used, but the power generation is a bit small... Only 42,000 kWh of electricity per hour, only 1 million kWh of electricity per day, at most equivalent to 15 wind turbines. It's too weak. It's better to go into wind power than this!"
Shen Jin directly passed the first type of nuclear power. He built a nuclear power plant to provide a large amount of electricity to support the [UU Matter Generator] and [Replicator] to make [Iridium Ingots], not to unlock the achievement of a nuclear power plant.
"The second type is a structure that uses a [cooling unit] to operate at high temperatures, allowing the machine to run at 50% of the core temperature, and then using consumable materials [cooling units] to continuously cool the nuclear reactor, thereby ensuring high-efficiency power generation at this temperature. In this case, a batch of [cooling units] need to be produced and replaced every month, otherwise the [nuclear reactor] will overheat after its durability is used up. If it continues to overheat and exceeds the 100% temperature line... Boom! This type of power generation is also more efficient, consuming more fuel rods, and the fuel replacement time is once every six months. The power generation is... 800,000 degrees per hour! It has increased 20 times!"
Good job!
The second type of nuclear power plant already has some flavor. Shen Jin calculated that this type of nuclear power plant can generate 19.2 million kilowatt-hours of electricity a day!
This is far more powerful than a wind power station. A wind power station only has 70,000 degrees of power, while this nuclear power plant is equivalent to 274 wind turbines!
The materials consumed are much more than the first one, but for Shen Jin who currently has abundant supplies, it is not worth mentioning!
"Let me take a look at the third type of power station... Eh? Why is there a word 'danger' written on it? Is the system indicating danger? This is too scary..."
Shen Jin continued to watch. The components of the third nuclear power plant were replaced again, using the most advanced [Condensation Module] for cooling. This cooling module has the best cooling effect!
Because... this nuclear power plant needs to keep the reaction chamber operating at a temperature above 90%!
The cooling modules must not be disconnected. Once the durability of one of them is insufficient, the entire nuclear power plant will quickly overheat, and then... Boom!
Moreover, if this kind of nuclear power plant is configured, no one can be within 10 meters around it, otherwise they will be scalded or even burned by the high temperature!
There can't be any flammable objects around, and it can only be operated inside the [explosion-proof stone]. "Wow... this is dancing on a tightrope, it will explode if I get it wrong! But the amount of electricity it generates... is really good!"
The system's estimated power generation capacity can reach 2 million kWh per hour!
That’s 48 million kilowatt-hours of electricity supplied every day!
It takes 9.3 million kilowatt-hours of electricity to make one [iridium ingot].
A nuclear power plant like this can produce 5 [Iridium Ingots] every day!
A nuclear power plant is equivalent to 700 wind turbines.
However, Shen Jin finally chose the second type of nuclear power plant. For the sake of safety, there was no need to make it so large. After all, everyone knew the power of a nuclear power plant explosion in reality. It was a very terrifying thing. To this day, Chernobyl is still a ghost town.
This place is so close to Home No. 1. If one day we fail to replace components and an explosion occurs, the consequences will be disastrous.
Therefore, Shen Jin chose the second more reliable nuclear power plant configuration, which generates 19.2 million kWh of electricity every day, which can produce more than 2 [iridium ingots] and he only needs to replace the [cooling unit . Even if he forgets, the 50% heat buffer allows him to replace it in a few days, or find someone to shut down the nuclear power plant directly and let it cool naturally.
"One nuclear power plant is definitely not enough. Yang Ao found so many fuel rods...just use 5 nuclear power plants!"
Shen Jin took a pile of blocks and component models and started operating them.
then……
There are five enclosed nuclear power plants on five connected small hills, and five "No Trespassing" signs at the foot of the hill.
