There is another spherical device in the center of the cabin. To be precise, it is hemispherical, not small, with a diameter of no less than five meters.
This is the fusion reactor and the energy output source of the land engineering ship.
Since mankind entered a new era, we have ushered in a great explosion of science and technology, but the use of nuclear energy is still very low-level. Although nuclear fission technology is very mature, the acquisition of energy is still very low-level. No matter how we obtain electricity, there will always be
It is inseparable from the step of boiling water, and the energy conversion rate of boiling water is extremely low. Of course, this is already very high for humans.
The working principle of the fusion reactor is still to generate heat energy, but there are silver metal strips on the outer layer of the fusion reactor. These are thermoelectric coils, devices that can directly convert heat energy into electricity. The utilization rate of heat energy reaches 100%.
ninety.
If humans obtain thermoelectric coils, even in the dark ages, human technology will immediately leapfrog several levels.
Of course, the development of science and technology is also inseparable from materials science. Even if humans obtain thermoelectric coils, it may take hundreds of years to figure out the operating principles.
The technology of the Black Flag Empire is extremely advanced. Currently, Li Meng's level is "One", and the technology he has opened has already surpassed human civilization. Take the land engineering ship as an example. If humans build such a land engineering ship, it will only
The power system cannot solve the problem. The reason why mobile cities and mobile fortresses can travel on land is that the power system is extremely rough. The engine must be large and the energy output is extremely profitable. This requires a sufficient number and sufficient power of nuclear fission.
Reactors to output energy.
Nuclear fission reactors and steam power systems require huge space, and only mobile fortresses and mobile cities have such space.
Although he didn't know much about human beings in this era, Li Meng knew very well about the human world sixty years ago.
Although he doesn't know much about the new humans of this era, the technological progress should not be much different from the technology sixty years ago. Even if he doesn't know some things, Li Meng can guess them.
Of course, whether New Humanity's mobile fortress and mobile city use nuclear energy is still a mystery, at least to Li Meng, because Li Meng has never boarded New Humanity's mobile fortress, so naturally everything depends on
guess.
Not to mention the power system, there is also a huge gap in the circuit. On land engineering ships, there are no longer as messy circuits as humans. The circuit for running electrical energy is a kind of crystal technology, not a pipe, but a kind of pattern.
Textures carved from crystalline material.
These lines are spread all over the land engineering ship in some way, and they are all connected to each other. On the bulkhead, if you look carefully, you can see some lines, and you can also feel the unevenness on the bulkhead when you touch it.
When transmitted through these lines, there is no light source and is invisible.
Arriving in front of the fusion reactor, the No. 1 engineer said: "Commander, once the fusion fuel tank is inserted, the land engineering ship can start operating."
Hearing this, Li Meng put away his random thoughts, concentrated his mind, and opened the item page with a thought.
From the item page, Li Meng found the classification page of fusion fuel tanks.
"Exchange for fusion fuel tank, -50,000 resource points, -500,000 water resources, -5,000 sand and soil resources, -500 silver resources, wormhole opened, light transmission started, countdown: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1..."
As the voice of 2020 fell, in the dim cabin, a white light suddenly emerged from the void and plunged into the ground in front of Li Meng. Within a second, the white light disappeared, and the cabin
Darkness returned again.
As the white light disappeared, something appeared on the ground.
It is about one meter long, cylindrical in shape, about ten centimeters in diameter, and is silver in color.
Is this a fusion fuel tank?
Seeing this, Li Meng bent down and picked up the fusion fuel tank from the ground.
So heavy...
Although it is not big, it is surprisingly heavy in his arms. Li Meng estimated that the fusion fuel tank in his hand weighs no less than 500 kilograms. Of course, for the Black Armored Guard, the weight of 500 kilograms can still be easily
mentioned.
Looking towards the fusion reactor, Li Meng found a conspicuous groove.
Taking a step forward, Li Meng approached the fusion reactor, held the fusion fuel tank with both hands, aligned it with the groove, and inserted it into it.
Under Li Meng's push, the fusion fuel tank slowly sank into the groove.
After successfully inserting the fusion fuel tank into the groove, Li Meng grabbed the outer handle and twisted it clockwise.
"Click..."
There was only a click, and a buzzing roar suddenly sounded.
The next moment, bits of blue light emitted from the fusion reactor. From the ground, strips of blue light spread in all directions, covering the ground and covering the entire bulkhead.
For some reason, Li Meng suddenly felt that his body had become a lot heavier, as if he had entered the water, and every move gave people a sense of obstruction. Looking towards the ground, Li Meng discovered what the soft ground was.
It seems to be a kind of solid, soft. At this time, the ground has turned into a blue color, and a blue luminous liquid is secreted from the soft solid. The liquid is flowing on the ground. Although it is small, it is still
He was gradually approaching the two of them.
At this time, the No. 1 engineer said: "Commander, we have to leave here. This is a large energy storage device. When providing power to the entire ship, the excess electrical energy will be crushed into plasma for storage. Once the plasma
The body floods the fusion reactor, and its own heat will be converted into electrical energy by the thermoelectric coil for recycling."
So, the blue liquid is plasma?
Hearing this, the expression on Li Meng's face tightened in his helmet, and he quickly turned around and hurried out of the cabin.
Plasma is hot, reaching millions or even tens of millions of degrees. Li Meng did not want Heijiawei to take a plasma bath.
It wasn't until he left the energy storage cabin and the thick hatch was closed by Engineer No. 1 that Li Meng breathed a sigh of relief.
It is indeed a technological product of advanced civilization. Although he has heard of the term plasma, Li Meng is confused about the principle of its operation and does not understand anything.
At this time, with the operation of the fusion reactor, the entire ship was powered on, and the soft lights dispelled the darkness inside the ship.
It's getting late, and there are more important things to do today. Li Meng has not forgotten that there are still a lot of things in Qing'an Shelter that he needs to solve.
Instead of wandering around the ship, at Li Meng's request, Engineer No. 1 took Li Meng to the bridge.
The land engineering ship is an intelligent engineering ship. All systems in the ship are controlled by biological intelligence. Since it does not require human operation, the space of the bridge is not large, less than one hundred square meters.
There are two floors. The upper floor is a disc-shaped platform, which is very small, less than ten meters in diameter, and has a large seat on it.
