Monster Factory Chapter 827: : Go to the ocean
Before entering the sea, the humpback whale still has several steps to take, or heat engine.
A nuclear reactor made of weapon-grade concentrated uranium, once the fission reaction is started, cannot be stopped. The only thing that can be done is to reduce the energy output of the reactor.
Now the reactor is in the heat.
The reactor was placed under the cockpit of the Humpback Whale, where the monsters worker almost used the most advanced alloy metal to ensure the safety of the reactor. At the same time, according to Ye Qing's proposal, monsters worker 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 primary circuit cooling water communication device. 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 must pay the price of immense once it is executed. Although the probability of such an event is infinitely small, when using nuclear energy, any situation that may occur, no matter how small the probability is, we must deal with it.
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 various connecting pipes on the reactor. They are under extremely high pressure in their work. When designing these pipes, ordinary engineers wished to do everything possible to reinforce them, especially the pipe joints. 【】
Now the monster worker is doing the opposite, and these interfaces should be designed to be automatically detached.
The technical difficulty of this 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 runaway reactor, it may not be long before it will be destroyed by the high temperature, or the pressure of immense will burst.
Even in the event of an accident, a nuclear reactor undergoes 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 is 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 dashboard of represented reactor energy data has illuminated the 18% power mark.
The temperature of the primary circuit cooling water 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 activated to provide working energy for the entire ship’s electrical device. Ye Qing thought about it for a few seconds before giving orders to the system.
Two minutes later, eight Metal Specialist and four Master Craftsman entered the cockpit from outside the escalator. These are all the crew of the Humpback Whale.
"Ultra-supercritical unit, how long will it take to start?"
Master Craftsman chuckled 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. It’s Power generation is 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.
Ten minutes later, a report from the monsters who checked the data one by one came from the call system.
"Boss, everything is normal in the reactor control cabin."
"The critical crew cabin is normal."
"Electromagnetic Engine power cabin is normal."
"The electrical control cabin is normal."
"The oil and air pressurized tank is normal."
"Very well, now I will open the top cover of the cargo warehouse, the electrical control cabin and the oil and air cabin to pay attention to whether the working data is normal." Ye Qing said while watching the data on the main console. A large ship that can carry 20,000 tons of cargo, according to normal conditions, a large bulk ship needs about 60 crew members, and an oil tanker needs 20 to 30.
This is still the most advanced giant ship at present, the Humpback Whale with a higher degree of electrical automation, if it is 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.
Four very textured toggle switches were opened by Ye Qing one after another. With the first toggle, 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 system. Then, on the back of the Humpback Whale, there is a thick heavy metal shell larger than a basketball court, slowly rising.
In the slipway, some small exquisite parts resonated due to the low roar, and they kept beating on the metal tray.
Even outside the platform, the edge of the sea that comes into contact with the platform~IndoMTL.com~ is shaking happily.
When the Humpback Whale’s back cargo compartment is fully opened, the eight-story cargo compartment cover is like a missile launch cover that has been magnified a hundred times. There is a quiet place under the cover, which can hold two hundred Standard containers. Huge warehouse.
A hidden spotlight is lit, and the interior of the 20-meter-deep warehouse is also 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 circuit of the nuclear reaction was circulated and 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 after 20 minutes, with a sound of heaven-shaking moving ground, 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 the two sides. After tens of seconds, the first stream of sea water surging quickly along the gap. After a few minutes, sea water poured in along the boatway like a torrent.
At the same time, the dark and flat hull of the Humpback Whale came into contact with sea water for the first time.
The water can carry the boat. When the boat lane 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 lifting platform below 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. He could just see the sparkling ocean under the light.
"departure." Ye Qing said emotionally. .
