"This island is an unnamed island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Because of its small area, it is also an active volcano. It is surrounded by shallows and reefs. It is not suitable for the construction of airports and ports. It has no military or transportation value." Qin said in the Xuanwu Conference Hall. Peng unfolded the map.

"Because we found a terrestrial insect nest, we named it the'Island of Disaster'."

"Xuanwu, what information is there about the disaster island?" He Xingzhou asked.

Xuanwu called out the information on the Island of Disaster and said: "The Nest of Disaster Island was discovered by a marine scientific research organization. When they approached the island, they were attacked by the Zerg and sent out a distress signal, and then the entire army was wiped out."

"The members of the Blue Star Alliance sent reconnaissance planes to reconnaissance that day, and they were also attacked by the Zerg. The throwing reconnaissance robot found that there were a large number of Zergs inside the volcano, which was suspected to be a terrestrial insect nest."

It shows some fragments sent by the reconnaissance robot. The vegetation on this island is unusually dense. Looking down from the crater, there are deposited volcanic ash and various tall vegetation. From time to time, we can see some weird zergs moving.

Further down, they are all covered by vegetation, I don't know what is still hidden inside!

"Looking at the density of the zerg, it is in an active volcano. The possibility of worm nests is as high as 90%!" Song Jinghong said, "previous surveys have proved that the zergs can absorb geothermal energy!"

"Only geothermal energy can raise so many terrifying monsters!" Kong Qing added.

If a small island has any resources to feed the Zerg, it depends on the geothermal energy of the volcano!

"Once there is a terrestrial insect nest, the evolution of the terrestrial zerg will be hundreds of times faster!" He Hongwei said, "The island of disaster is in the Pacific again, and the area of ​​influence includes us. This insect nest must be destroyed!"

"The opinion of all parties in the Blue Star Alliance is to drop a hydrogen bomb, trigger a volcanic eruption, and destroy it!" Qin Peng said, "What do you think?"

"You can't do this perfunctory!" He Xingzhou said, "Of course it is possible to destroy the Worm's Nest. But this Worm's Nest is also our opportunity!"

"In our current experimental samples, there are almost no advanced terrestrial zergs! Even if we drop hydrogen bombs on the island of disaster, it may not be able to kill all the zergs, such as the giant beasts that can hide in the magma, they will be able to resist. The hydrogen bomb exploded!"

"So before destroying it, we must first obtain enough Zerg samples!"

"This point has also been raised by various parties," Qin Peng said, "but they don't have much confidence."

"After the sinking of the carrier fleet in the Mariana Trench, everyone was very afraid of the Worm Nest and worried about losing too much power."

"If you want to get a sample of the Calamity Island, you have to send an army to the Calamity Island. This is arguably the most dangerous task in the world! No one has the confidence to complete it!"

He Xingzhou nodded, this is the key question. First of all, the island of calamity is surrounded by shallows and reefs, and there are insect nests, and ships cannot get too close.

Even if the most elite marines are dispatched for landing operations, in front of the Zerg, it seems that they are just giving away food.

"Anyway, always give it a try!" He Xingzhou said, "During this time, when I develop nuclear batteries, I will upgrade the equipment. For example, armor, laser weapons, new fighter jets and the like."

"The chances of success will be much greater then."

"So let them not be impulsive, and wait a few months."

"Okay, then we will have this attitude for the next meeting!" Qin Peng nodded.

The Blue Star Alliance holds a global conference, which is completed through network holographic projection. Now that mutated birds have appeared, airplanes have become unsafe.

To be on the safe side, most world conferences are held online.

In the virtual meeting room, commanders appeared in the meeting room.

The virtual meeting room is circular, with a display stand and a speech stand in the middle. The commanders sit in sequence, the first-level commanders sit in the innermost circle, and then the commanders at all levels.

The first-level commanders basically come from all major countries, and the number of commanders varies with their strengths.

At present, the number of commanders of the White Eagle and Shenlong is the largest, followed by Teddy Bear, Hans, and Gaul.

"Everyone, this time our Blue Star Alliance is convening a meeting to discuss the response of Worm's Nest on the Island of Disaster." Qin Peng said, "All parties can put forward their opinions."

At this time, none of the second-level and third-level commanders had a voice, because they knew very well that they had no ability to do anything to the Worm's Nest on the Island of Calamity.

"Of course it was blown up!" said a burly, sturdy commander, his name is Igor York, from Teddy Bear.

"Our hydrogen bomb is ready! You can blow it up at any time!" he said.

"To deal with the Worm Nest, you can only use hydrogen bombs!" White Eagle Commander Harvey spoke. The deep-sea monsters in the Mariana Trench left him with an indelible shadow for a lifetime. Now he thinks of these guys. Nuclear weapons!

Their speeches were all within the expectations of He Xingzhou and others.

Both the white eagle and the bear have a large number of nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons have a shelf life and need to be maintained every year, which costs a lot of money.

Once the expiration date has passed, these things become cumbersome, and it will cost money and threats to save them, and destroy them is also a waste.

They are eager to throw these hydrogen bombs that are past their expiration date to the Zerg so that they can free up resources to develop new weapons.

He Xingzhou said: “Using hydrogen bombs to blow up the Worm’s Nest is certainly an indisputable choice. But I think that before blowing up the Worm’s Nest on the Island of Calamity, we can reserve space and send a team to capture samples of the land zerg!

"Now there is only such a suitable land-based Zerg research site in the world, and it is directly blown up. On the surface, it reduces the risk for us, but it actually leaves us with hidden dangers for the future face of the Zerg!"

"Dr. Ho," said Herbert, a commander of Hans, "We also want to capture samples for research, but so far, none of the capture teams we have sent has succeeded!"

"If this goes on, it will only waste time and increase wastage in vain."

He Xingzhou did not deny, saying: "The island of disaster is located in the center of the Pacific Ocean. Just dispatching ships requires risk. Landing is equally dangerous. It is impossible to complete the capture mission with one or two small mission execution teams."

"So I propose that we unite together to launch an offensive against the disaster island, use ships to cover, and send landing teams to perform tasks. This way, the pressure on every aspect will be much less and the chance of success will increase."

"When the mission is over, let the ships parked nearby fire hydrogen bombs to destroy the worm nest!"

When everyone thinks about it, it is indeed difficult for them to act alone. If they unite together and carry out tasks at the same time, it is indeed possible for the Zerg to be unable to focus on a certain team.

"What Dr. Ho said is very reasonable!" Gallic commander Florent agreed, "I agree with this proposal!"

They also want to get research samples, and now there are a few big leaders, why not do it.

"Dr. He's idea is indeed feasible. We are also planning to send a team to explore before blowing up the Worm Nest on the Island of Calamity. In this case, we will act together." Another White Eagle commander Jonah said.

"In this case, then we have no reason to refuse." Igor York also voted in favor.

Commander Hans Herbert said: "We have no objections either."

Since none of these first-level commanders have any opinions, other commanders will not have any opinions.

So Qin Peng announced: "Then the matter of jointly exploring the island of disaster is determined. Now we need to agree on a time and prepare together."

A lot of time has been spent on the discussion. Some people hope that the sooner the better, others say that they are not ready yet.

In the end, they decided to proceed in half a year.

Half a year is enough for them to make adequate preparations. During this time, they will also study the Zerg and make corresponding weapons and equipment.

The matter has been set, He Xingzhou can prepare with peace of mind.

He disappeared from public view again and threw himself into the laboratory.

The location of He Xingzhou's work this time is at the Institute of Atomic Energy. His partners are Dong Chen, Dean of the Department of Physics of the Beijing University of Science and Technology, and Cai Hao, an atomic energy expert.

He Xingzhou's teacher Zhang Boyan also studies nuclear physics, but at this time, he is leading a team to build a nuclear power plant and has no energy to do this.

"Our existing nuclear battery technology is a radioisotope battery." Dong Chen is introducing the team's research process to He Xingzhou.

"The use of radioactive elements will continuously release energy in the form of rays with thermal energy in the process of metamorphosis. The magnitude and speed of this energy are not affected by the temperature, chemical reaction, pressure, and electromagnetic field in the external environment, so it has a strong Anti-interference and stability."

"In addition, radioactive elements have a long decay cycle and can be used for a long time."

"At present, the nuclear battery we developed has been used on the Chang'e satellite."

He Xingzhou carefully read the existing research data. The current nuclear battery is a low-voltage nuclear battery with a temperature difference. Its voltage and electric energy are not very high.

It is more common to be used in medical instruments and spacecraft.

However, this degree of distance from He Xingzhou's ideal, can promote the long-term movement of mechanical exoskeletons, mechas and robots, and even nuclear batteries that can release weapons such as lasers, high-voltage arcs, and electromagnetic pulses. There is too much difference.

"We are going to make a high-voltage nuclear battery!" He Xingzhou said, "When using tritium as a radioactive source, both the voltage and the current intensity are much higher than the current low-voltage nuclear battery with temperature difference."

"The problem with this is that tritium is very radioactive. How to control its decay in a small battery?" Cai Hao said, "In addition, its radiation is very strong, how can radioactive pollution be isolated?"

"I have a way!" He Xingzhou was naturally prepared. He called Lumi and said, "Open the design."

Lumi, as the first voice intelligence he led the research and development, is now growing rapidly and has become He Xingzhou's life assistant.

Various other smart devices have their own ai systems, so Lumi has basically become He Xingzhou's personal ai.

Lumi's crisp voice sounded: "The 3D design drawing has been opened!"

In front of them, a design plan for a radiation insulation layer appeared. He Xingzhou introduced: “I use a multi-layer combined insulation layer design, using a composite radiation protection layer composed of carbon nanomaterials and nickel as the basis, and a multi-layered structure. They can effectively absorb and insulate radiation, and the thickness is only a few nanometers, so that 10,000 layers can be stacked, and the thickness is less than a millimeter!"

"According to the radiation intensity of the nuclear battery, increasing the thickness can complete the radiation isolation. In theory, as long as the insulation layer is not damaged, even if the nuclear battery is placed next to equipment or people, it will not affect people."

"This is another new type of material!" Seeing He Xingzhou's design, the two exclaimed.

Materials are the basis for the development of all practical technologies. Often a breakthrough in a material can drive the development of many aspects of science and technology!

"Next is the transducer." He Xingzhou opened the second design drawing. "The transducer is the core of the nuclear battery. It converts the heat energy generated by the radioisotope atoms into electrical energy."

"The nuclear battery transducers we usually use are static thermoelectric transducers, which use the principle of thermocouples to generate potential differences in different metals to generate electricity, but such conversion efficiency is too low, less than 100%. Of thirty."

"So I designed a miniature heat engine converter, which can increase the efficiency to more than 50%..."

He Xingzhou introduced his design carefully.

The whole team is listening to the class~www.readwn.com~ for research.

He Xingzhou is only a preliminary design and needs further improvement. At the same time, different styles of nuclear batteries are designed according to the manufacturing process and application scenarios.

Nuclear batteries for spacecraft, micro-nuclear batteries for medical instruments, nuclear batteries for smart devices, and nuclear power converters for mechanical equipment, etc.

After the nuclear battery research was on the right track, He Xingzhou immediately began his research on armor technology.

The first generation of general-purpose mechanical exoskeleton has now undergone many improvements, applied in military, engineering, and civilian use. Some companies have developed human mechanical prostheses with this technology.

He Xingzhou doesn't worry about these things anymore. The upgrades were handed over to the corresponding scientific research team.

He wants to study more powerful mechanical power armor, which is the so-called mecha!

Unlike mechanical exoskeleton, mecha will fully cover the human body, have more power, and have a variety of high-tech weapons and methods.

According to He Xingzhou's vision, a soldier wearing a mech must at least be able to hunt the Zerg alone! Including those tough beetles and even the giant "super king crabs."

"Nuclear batteries are definitely not a problem." He Xingzhou thought to himself. He has verified the design and simulation of nuclear batteries many times on the computer.

You only need to wait for it to be manufactured before you can use it.

"So, now I can directly unlock the corresponding technology and develop mechas!"

He looked at the quantum optical brain, looking for the corresponding technology of the mecha.

The technological systems required by mechas are more complex, including mecha cores, power engines, control systems, defensive armor (internal and external), weapon systems (defense/attack), communication systems, energy devices, load systems, and so on.
