Ye Han immediately entered the engine room. The first thing he saw when he entered the door was the extremely thick and long thruster body. The long-term super-power operation caused obvious deformation of the cylindrical reaction chamber, especially in the middle and rear part of the thruster.
It expanded by a full circle, making the originally not very spacious space even narrower.
The soldiers were squeezed into the gap between the propeller and the bulkhead. Everywhere they looked, there were floating basilisk corpses, and bits of solidified blood were flying in the air, no matter where they hit.
, will pop up immediately.
Ye Han glanced around and saw only a dozen snake lizards. He couldn't help but frown: "Why are there so few? Where are the rest?"
"It should be at the back." Luo Qi said uncertainly.
He didn't want to be so vague, but he really didn't know what was going on deep in the engine room.
Speaking of the engine room, everyone's first reaction is that it is big, and the second reaction is that it is crowded.
Why do you say that? Because the diameter of the propeller body is close to ten meters, which is a little longer than a three-story building, and the length is more than thirty meters, which is equivalent to a ten-story high-rise building.
The engine room can accommodate this big thing, which is naturally a bit larger than the propeller. It is twelve meters long and 44 meters long, with a volume of more than 6,300 cubic meters. It is the largest on the ship.
cabin.
However, the large volume is useless. Most of the space is taken up by the propeller. The gap between the propeller and the bulkhead is very narrow. The widest part is less than three meters, and the narrower part is only one meter at best.
Five or six, if two soldiers stand side by side, they can block the enemy tightly.
No matter who comes, it is impossible to have a panoramic view of the entire engine room.
Ye Han also knew the problem and asked dissatisfiedly: "What are you doing standing still? Why don't you ask quickly?"
Luo Qi quickly agreed: "Attention, all units, please count the number of snake lizards as soon as possible, and report to me immediately!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Qi had already received a reply: "Luo Ying, there is a hole here!"
"A hole? What hole?" Luo Qi was furious. I was just counting the results of the battle. What can you say if you find a hole?
The voice quickly replied: "Luo Ying, you'd better come over and take a look. This hole has penetrated the reaction chamber, and the snake lizards have gotten in!"
"Ah?" Luo Qi felt bad and quickly turned around to look at Ye Han, "Sir?"
Ye Han immediately took action: "Go over and have a look!"
Several people quickly floated out and floated half a circle around the cylindrical thruster body on hands and feet, finally seeing the hole the size of a washbasin.
Ye Han stared at the hole, his eyes filled with disbelief.
That is indeed a hole that penetrates the reaction chamber, but what is the reaction chamber? It is a place that withstands micro-nuclear explosions!
Ye Han didn't know how this thing was made, but he knew that it was made of a special alloy and was made in one piece. The thickest part of the cavity wall was four meters long, and even the thinnest part was about two meters long. Even if it was bombarded with artillery shells,
I couldn't even think of blasting it away for a while. Just a few bugs, in such a short time, actually penetrated the reaction chamber?
Although the cavity wall here is not four meters, it is still more than three meters, right? These bugs are too unnatural, right?
Ye Han had all kinds of chaotic thoughts in his mind. He leaned over the hole and looked inside. It was pitch black and he couldn't see anything.
Turning on the headlight, a beam of light illuminates the cave, and you immediately see the curved cavity wall opposite the cave.
This is really a breakthrough!
The edge of the hole was relatively neat, but obvious traces of corrosion could be seen, and Ye Han couldn't help but gasp.
Is the basilisk's acid so powerful?
Maybe the light beam attracted the insect's attention, but a triangular snake lizard head suddenly appeared on the other side of the hole, and came face to face with Ye Han.
Ye Han subconsciously wanted to draw his gun, but as soon as his arm moved, the basilisk ducked away and never came out again.
Ye Han's mind was full of doubts and he couldn't help but said: "Why are they running into the reaction chamber?"
These things were made by aliens. The purpose of sending them here must be to destroy the battleship. So Ye Han wouldn't be surprised no matter where they go.
So when He Lu reported that the insect swarm entered the engine room and destroyed the equipment, Ye Han didn't feel anything was wrong at all.
But why are they staying in the reaction chamber?
No one at the scene spoke. After a moment of silence, He Lu's voice came over the radio: "Captain, maybe the temperature in the reaction chamber attracted the basilisk!"
Ye Han immediately became interested: "How to say?"
He Ludao: "The No. 7 thruster has not stopped working. The current temperature of the reaction chamber is still five to six hundred, which is the hottest place on the entire ship. If the snake lizard is running for the temperature, then everything makes sense.
"
Luo Qi interrupted: "Isn't it right? What about the power cabin? The temperature in the power cabin is higher?"
"On the contrary." He Lu said, "The temperature of the reactor is indeed high, but the reactor and power cabin are protected by insulation layers, while the propeller and engine room have nothing..."
"Okay, we will study the reason later. Now I just want to kill all these bugs... He Lu, can the thruster still be used? How about just exploding a fuel ball?"
No matter how powerful the basilisk is, it is still a living creature, and it will certainly not be able to withstand the power of a nuclear explosion, even if it is just a miniature nuclear explosion.
He Lu shook his head subconsciously: "No, I can't control Unit 7!"
The thruster can only detonate one fuel ball at a time, and the explosive power of this fuel ball, converted into TNT, is approximately between fifteen kilograms and thirty kilograms. The yield is not very high, but it is enough to destroy everything in the reaction chamber.
insect.
Many people will be very surprised when they hear this news for the first time. They are all the same fuel balls, so how can they be twice as powerful?
There is no way, the power of nuclear explosion is too strong. Taking uranium as an example, the energy released by the fission of one kilogram of uranium-235 is equivalent to 20,000 tons of TNT. In other words, if uranium is used to make fuel balls, each fuel ball contains
It contains only one thousandth of a gram of uranium-235.
Such a small content is a great test for manufacturing technology. It is impossible for every fuel ball to contain uranium-235 so accurately.
Moreover, the main raw material for making fuel balls in Beiyuezhou is helium 3. The energy released when helium 3 is fused is much higher than the fission of uranium 235, so the helium 3 contained in each fuel ball is far less than one thousandth of a gram.
, which is much more difficult to manufacture than fissile raw materials.
Being able to control the power of the fuel ball to about 20 kilograms is already the limit of existing technology. It is not surprising that there is a slight error.
Luo Qi said helplessly: "It would be nice if the hole was a little bigger. I would lead my men to dig in directly!"
The speaker was unintentional but the listener was interested. Ye Han's eyes lit up: "People can't get through, but the equipment can! Luo Qi, throw grenades into the hole immediately!"
