Chapter 1684 Digesting the Nuclear Bomb
At this moment, Connors was standing quietly in the area filled with tritium gas. Everything around him seemed to be muted, with only the sound of tritium gas flowing slowly in the air, like the whisper of a devil.

What is incredible is that Connors seemed to be completely unaware of the tritium gas in the air.

It slightly opened its huge and ferocious mouth and breathed greedily, continuously inhaling the leaking tritium gas into its lungs.

Tritium gas flowed along its respiratory tract and entered its lungs unimpeded.

When tritium undergoes beta decay, it releases high-energy electrons.

These high-energy electrons were like angry bullets, racing through Connors' alveoli.

According to common sense, such radiation damage is fatal to any living thing, and will quickly destroy cell structures and cause a series of serious physiological diseases.

But for Connors, these microscopic impacts that should have caused severe pain and injury seemed to bring him an indescribable pleasure.

This feeling is like a person who has been addicted to extreme stimulation for a long time suddenly being exposed to a stronger and more novel source of stimulation.

It felt as if it was smoking the best quality Cuban cigars. The rich and unique aroma and the feeling of the smoke filling its mouth and lungs made it intoxicated and unable to extricate itself.

Its eyes gradually became blurred and an obsessed expression appeared on its face, as if the whole world was left with only this radioactive smell that intoxicated it.

Over time, the tritium in Connors' lungs was gradually absorbed.

It took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled the radiation-free exhaust gas.

Although there is no tritium in the exhaust gas, other trace radioactive products produced by previous tritium decay may still exist, but in relatively low concentrations.

The exhaust gas formed a light mist in the air and quickly dissipated into the surrounding environment.

Connors' face showed a satisfied and happy expression, a kind of satiety after extreme enjoyment, as if he had just experienced the most wonderful feast in the world.

Connors stretched out his huge and rough hand and carefully picked up the spherical fusion secondary in the nuclear warhead.

This is the core part of the nuclear warhead and also the most powerful part. If an accident occurs, the consequences will be disastrous. However, in Connors' eyes, this is like a delicious delicacy.

It was encased in a solid shell, but Connors could feel the enormous energy contained within through the shell.

It first extended its tongue and slowly licked the outer layer of highly enriched uranium.

When highly enriched uranium comes into contact with its tongue, it begins to release strong radioactive rays, including alpha rays, beta rays and gamma rays.

Alpha rays are composed of a helium nucleus consisting of two protons and two neutrons. Although they have weak penetrating power, they can cause serious ionization damage to cells when in close contact with biological tissues. Beta rays are high-speed electron streams that can penetrate materials of a certain thickness and damage biological molecules within cells. Gamma rays are high-energy electromagnetic waves with extremely strong penetrating power. They can penetrate deep into the body of an organism and cause widespread and serious damage to various organs and tissues.

However, Connors was not afraid of these deadly rays. It was as if he was tasting a rare and delicious candy in the world. His tongue slid back and forth on the surface of highly enriched uranium, licking clean all the tiny particles that might be attached to the surface.

After licking clean this layer of "the most delicious uranium", Connors did not stop there.

It opened its mouth and began to eat the uranium 235 inside and the lithium deuteride at the center like a child eating a chocolate candy ball. Uranium 235 is an important nuclear fuel that can release huge amounts of energy in a nuclear fission reaction. When it was bitten by Connors, the radioactive material inside was further released and reacted with the surrounding air, producing some faint flashes and heat. Lithium deuteride is one of the key raw materials for nuclear fusion reactions.

In a nuclear fusion reaction, deuterium and tritium (in lithium deuteride, lithium can react with neutrons to produce tritium) will fuse, releasing even greater energy than nuclear fission.

Connors gnawed off the substances piece by piece, chewing them and swallowing them.

As Connors gnawed, his throat moved constantly.

This peristalsis is not a simple swallowing action, but a special physiological reaction.

There is a special layer of mucous tissue inside its throat, which can withstand the strong radiation and chemical corrosion caused by radioactive substances.

When radioactive substances go down the throat and into the esophagus, the mucosal tissue will secrete a special biological fluid. This fluid not only has a lubricating effect, but can also neutralize some harmful components of the radioactive substances to a certain extent, reducing direct damage to the digestive system.

Connors seemed to be really enjoying this ultimate "deliciousness". Every movement of its throat was accompanied by a low and satisfied gurgling sound, as if telling of its desire and satisfaction for this special substance.

As the fusion secondary was gradually devoured by it, Connors' eyes flashed with a fanatical and satisfied light.

After chewing and swallowing the entire fusion secondary, Connors seemed to be still unsatisfied.

It began to dismantle the other nuclear warheads, its movements expertly and eagerly.

Inside its body is a special biological organ called the atomic furnace.

This organ is located at the core of its body and is surrounded by a layer of tough, radiation-shielding biological tissue.

From the outside, it looks like a huge, constantly beating energy core, emitting a faint and mysterious light.

This atomic reactor is like a highly developed biological reactor, with a complex and sophisticated internal structure.

It is composed of a variety of specialized biological cells and tissues that have unique physical and chemical properties.

When radioactive material enters the nuclear reactor, the radioactive isotopes in it will undergo a series of complex nuclear and biochemical reactions.

First, the radioactive isotopes will undergo nuclear decay under the influence of the special magnetic field and bioelectric field inside the nuclear reactor.

Different radioactive isotopes have different half-lives and decay modes. In the special environment of an atomic reactor, their decay processes will be accelerated and regulated.

For example, uranium-235 is a common radioactive isotope that, under normal circumstances, has a half-life of about 7 million years. However, inside an atomic reactor, its decay rate can be significantly accelerated due to the influence of special biological factors.

A large amount of energy is released during the decay process in the form of high-energy particles and electromagnetic radiation.
