Monster Factory - 838

Before entering the sea, the humpback whale still has several steps to take, or heat engine.

Nuclear reactors made of weapon-grade enriched uranium cannot stop once the fission reaction is started. The only thing that can be done is to reduce the energy output of the reactor.

The reactor is now in the heat engine.

The reactor was placed under the cockpit of the Humpback Whale, where the monster workers almost used the most advanced alloy metals to ensure the safety of the reactor. At the same time, 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 situation.

The connecting pipes everywhere on the reactor will automatically disconnect from the cooling water connection device of the primary circuit. At the same time, the armor under the reactor will automatically unfasten the bolts, and the reactor will fall into the watertight compartment below.

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

This is a safety lock that has to be paid a huge price once it is executed. Although the probability of such an event is infinitely small, when using nuclear energy, any situation that may occur, even if the probability is small, we must make a response plan.

At the same time, in the design, the technical difficulty of this safety lock is second only to the reactor.

Whether it is the primary circuit cooling water, or the various connecting pipes on the reactor. They are under extremely high pressure in their work. When ordinary engineers design these pipes, they can’t wait to do everything possible to reinforce them, especially at the pipe joints.

Now Monster Workers are doing the opposite, designing these interfaces to automatically fall off.

The technical difficulty of this one can be imagined.

There is also the manufacture of the watertight compartment below, which is not an ordinary compartment. After the ordinary compartment contains the out-of-control reactor, it may not be long before it will be destroyed by the high temperature, or it will explode under huge pressure.

Even if an accident occurs in a nuclear reactor, it is a slow fission process. It does not release all its energy instantly like a nuclear bomb.

The specially manufactured watertight compartment ensures that the reactor can be sealed for at least two days. This time also provided Ye Qing with salvage processing time. As for the salvage plan, the Herui plan is temporarily absent.

After all, at sea, in the event of a major nuclear reactor incident, dropping the reactor can save the Humpback Whale.

If you don’t throw it away, the humpback whale will be buried with the reactor, which greatly increases the difficulty of salvaging.

In addition to the reactor, the Humpback Whale also has a 5000KW standby generator set, which can provide power for the entire ship in addition to power.

In the cockpit, on a circular high-tech console, the electronic percentage instrument panel representing the energy data of the reactor has illuminated the 18% power mark.

The cooling water temperature of the primary circuit is slowly rising from 180 degrees. When it exceeds 375 degrees, the ultra-supercritical unit will warm up and start.

Now the backup generator set is also starting to provide working energy for the electrical equipment of the entire ship. Ye Qing thought for a few seconds before giving orders to the call system.

Two minutes later, eight metal experts and four masters walked into the cockpit from outside the escalator. These were all the crew of the Humpback Whale.

“Ultra-supercritical unit, how long will it take to start?”

The exquisite master laughed and said: “In one hour and twelve minutes, when the ultra-supercritical unit starts, the nuclear reactor will enter a normal power working state. If we are free, we can use the humpback whale as a power station. Its power generation capacity , More than enough to supply a city.”

“Okay, now everyone is divided into responsibilities and returned to their respective posts. I need you to check the ship’s work data again.” Ye Qing clenched his fists.

After dozens of minutes, reports from the monsters after checking the data one by one came from the call system.

“Boss, everything is normal in the reactor control compartment.”

“The critical cabin is normal.”

“The electromagnetic engine power compartment is normal.”

“The electrical control compartment is normal.”

“The oil and air pressurized chamber is normal.”

“Very well, now I will open the top cover of the cargo compartment, the electrical control compartment and the oil and air compartment to pay attention to whether the working data is normal.” Ye Qing said while watching the data on the main console. A huge ship that can carry 20,000 tons of cargo, according to normal circumstances, requires about 60 crew members for a large bulk ship, and 20 to 30 for an oil tanker.

This is still the most advanced giant ship with the number of crew members, and the old ships can’t stop turning over.

The humpback whale with a higher degree of electrical automation, if it were not equipped with the highest industrial level of mankind’s marine nuclear reactor, it only needs a few monsters to easily control it.

At the same time, the console can also display the working data of all cabins of the ship. Ye Qing now needs to test whether these data are accurate.

The four very textured toggle switches were opened by Ye Qing one by one. As the first switch was toggled, the entire humpback whale seemed to come alive.

The hydraulic oil supply system worked immediately, even in the cockpit, Ye Qing could hear the deep and strong working sound of the system. Then, on the back of the Humpback Whale, there was a thick metal shell larger than a basketball court, slowly rising.

Inside the berth, some delicate small parts, which were resonated by the deep roar, kept beating on the metal tray.

Even outside the platform, the edges of the sea that are in contact with the platform are shaking happily.

When the cargo compartment on the back of the Humpback Whale is fully opened, the eight-story cargo compartment cover is like a missile launch cover magnified by a hundred times. There is quietly there, under the cover is a huge cargo that can hold two hundred standard containers. warehouse.

The hidden spotlights were lit, and the interior of the 20-meter-deep cargo warehouse was equally white.

There are three of the same warehouses, which are opened by Ye Qing one by one.

The participation reported by the monsters is also normal.

One hour later, the cooling water in the primary loop of the nuclear reaction was heated to 375 degrees and formally entered the supercritical state. At the same time, the ultra-supercritical unit was started synchronously and the main shaft was preheated and rotated.

One hour and twenty minutes later, with a shocking sound, two ultra-high-pressure steam with a power of 200,000 kilowatts reached 600 degrees, and the ultra-supercritical unit officially entered the working state.

At this moment, the humpback whale was completely activated.

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

At this moment, driven by the motor, the two steel gates of the Three Gorges locks in front of the Humpback Whale slowly opened to both sides. After dozens of seconds, the first stream of sea water surging quickly along the gap. A few minutes later, the sea water poured in along the boatway like a torrent.

At the same time, the black and flat hull of the Humpback Whale came into contact with sea water for the first time.

The water can carry the boat, and when the shipway is completely filled with sea water and is consistent with the sea level, the humpback whale with its astonishing weight has already floated on the surface. The lower lifting platform is also driven by the hydraulic system, and it is completely lowered to the height of the shipway.

Ye Qing stood in the cockpit and looked along the long back of the ship, just to see the sparkling ocean under the light.

“Go.” Ye Qing said emotionally.
