Chapter 1706 Seizing the Core
The radioactive material in the water is a deadly poison to other creatures, but for Connors, it is a special source of energy.

Its stomach wall has a special absorption function that can absorb these radioactive substances, and then through a series of complex physiological processes, it converts them into energy and stores it in the electrical storage cells under the skin.

These storage cells are like Connors' energy batteries, providing it with a constant supply of power.

"What kind of monster is this?"

The workers looked in horror at Connors, half of his body sticking out of the reactor.

Their faces were filled with fear and despair, and the tools in their hands fell to the ground.

Some workers felt their legs go weak and almost collapsed to the ground; others held tightly to the railings beside them, their bodies shaking constantly.

"It wants to steal the core from the reactor."

The electrical engineer who previously worked at the Fukushima nuclear power plant, with his rich experience and keen insight, immediately identified Connors' intentions.

The reactor core contains enormous energy. Once Connors uses it, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Hurry, contact the Self-Defense Forces."

A worker said in a trembling voice.

His eyes were full of anticipation, hoping that the Self-Defense Forces could arrive in time and subdue this horrible monster.

"Are you stupid? The Self-Defense Forces won't come. Have you forgotten what they did after the tsunami? Let's run!"

another worker who had experienced the tsunami shouted angrily.

His eyes were filled with disappointment and anger towards the Self-Defense Forces.

After the tsunami, the Self-Defense Forces refused to carry out rescue missions, resulting in countless people losing their lives and homes.

Now, facing this horrible monster, how could they possibly come?
The workers fell into a brief silence, then turned around and began to flee the nuclear power plant desperately.

Their steps were hurried and panicked, with only one thought in their minds, which was to get away from this dangerous place as soon as possible.

As Connors continued to swallow the accumulated water, the cooling water level dropped rapidly.

The temperature inside the reactor rose rapidly, and the sultry air seemed to steam people.

The hot steam quickly turned into billowing white smoke after coming into contact with the cold air from outside.

The white smoke rose from the reactor like huge white dragons and was clearly visible even from several kilometers away.

The reactor core, a component as critical as the heart yet extremely dangerous, is now emitting a chilling atmosphere.

The nuclear fuel inside the core releases energy as hot as magma under continuous chain reaction, and its temperature reaches thousands of degrees Celsius.

Under such extreme high temperatures, any material approaching it would be like being thrown into a ruthless furnace and would be melted in an instant.

The 15-centimeter-thick steel structure of the fuel tank at the bottom of the core, which was originally a solid line of defense, is now crumbling under the erosion of high temperature.

The part of the steel structure that was in contact with the core quickly became red hot, and the dazzling light seemed like a warning light of death.

Under the influence of high temperature, the atomic structure inside the metal begins to change dramatically. The originally tightly arranged lattice is gradually broken, and the strength of the material also drops sharply.

From a microscopic perspective, metal atoms gain higher energy at high temperatures, and the binding forces between them become unstable.

The originally ordered metal crystal structure began to show dislocations and slippage, which fundamentally changed the mechanical properties of the steel structure. The steel that was originally able to withstand huge pressure and stress gradually lost its original rigidity and toughness under the ravages of high temperature, and began to show signs of deformation and softening.

The narrow space inside the reactor became a huge obstacle for Connors at this moment.

At this moment, Connors was like a bear who wanted to steal honey but was blocked outside the house. He looked extremely anxious and helpless.

Its body twisted with difficulty in the narrow space, and each movement was accompanied by the creaking sound of the surrounding steel structure. The sound seemed like the steel structure groaning in pain, indicating that it might break at any time.

Connors kept adjusting his posture, trying to find a point of force that could free himself from the restraints.

Its tail swung vigorously, like a thick whip, constantly lashing the surrounding steel structure.

The muscles on the tail were tense, and every swing contained tremendous power, trying to prop open the surrounding metal frame that seemed indestructible but became fragile under high temperature.

At the same time, Connors' limbs were constantly exerting force.

Its forelimbs are thick and powerful, and its claws are deeply embedded in the gaps of the steel structure, trying to create more space for itself to move by stretching these gaps.

Its hind legs pressed tightly against the surrounding metal walls, and every kick caused the entire reactor room to tremble slightly.

As it worked tirelessly, more cracks began to appear in the steel structure.

These cracks were like spider webs, spreading out from where Connors squeezed hard.

Some small fragments continued to fall from the steel structure, making crisp sounds that echoed in the silent reactor room.

However, the reactor's structure was far more complicated than Connors had imagined.

The design of a reactor is a highly sophisticated and complex system engineering project, in which various components are interrelated and mutually restricted.

The steel structure of the fuel tank is only a part of it, and there are numerous supporting structures, piping systems and various safety protection devices around it.

These parts together form a large and complex whole, and damage to any link may trigger a chain reaction.

Although Connors' struggle caused some damage to the steel structure, it did not immediately free it from its predicament.

It began to make a low growling sound, which was full of anger and impatience.

As time went on, Connors' struggles intensified.

Its body kept hitting the surrounding steel structure, and each impact caused a violent vibration.

These vibrations not only made the various equipment and components in the reactor room shaky, but also put the entire reactor building under tremendous pressure.

The temperature in the reactor room was also rising, and the hot air made Connors feel a little uncomfortable.

With Connors' unremitting efforts, it finally found a breakthrough.

The breakthrough was located at a weak link in the steel structure. It was possible that due to the previous high-temperature erosion and Connors' repeated impacts, the metal strength here had dropped to the lowest point.

Connors exerted force suddenly, and the surrounding steel structure finally couldn't withstand the huge pressure and was completely torn apart.

The tearing sound was like a loud bang, exploding in the reactor room.
