The Mechanical Empire of the End of the World

Right in the center of the cabin there is another spherical device, to be precise, hemispherical, not small, no less than five meters in diameter.

This is the fusion reactor, the source of energy output for land engineering ships.

Since human beings entered the new era, ushered in a scientific and technological explosion, but the use of nuclear energy is still very low, although nuclear fission technology has been very mature, but the acquisition of energy is still very low, no matter how to obtain electricity, always inseparable from the step of boiling water, and the energy conversion rate of boiled water is extremely low, of course, this is already very high for human beings.

The working principle of fusion reactors is still to generate heat energy, but there are silver metal strips on the outer layer of the fusion reactor, which are thermoelectric coils, devices that can directly convert heat energy into electricity, and the utilization rate of heat energy reaches 90%.

If humans had acquired thermoelectric coils, even in the dark ages, human technology would have crossed several levels at once.

Of course, the development of science and technology is also inseparable from materials science, even if humans obtain thermoelectric coils, it may take hundreds of years to figure out the principle of operation.

The technology of the Black Flag Empire is extremely advanced, at the moment Li Meng's level is "one", the open technology has long exceeded human civilization, take the land engineering ship, if the human race builds such a land engineering ship, the power system alone can not be solved, mobile cities, mobile fortresses can drive on land, its power system is extremely rough, the engine is large, the output of energy is also extremely profitable, which requires a sufficient number of nuclear fission reactors with sufficient power to output energy.

Nuclear fission reactors, as well as steam power systems, all of which require huge space, and only mobile fortresses, mobile cities, have such space.

Although he does not know much about the human beings of this era, Li Meng is very clear about the human world sixty years ago.

Although I don't know much about the new humans of this era, the progress in science and technology should not be too far behind the science and technology of sixty years ago, and even if I don't know some things, Li Meng can guess.

Of course, whether the mobile fortress of the new human race and the mobile city uses nuclear energy is still a mystery, at least for Li Meng, because Li Meng has never boarded the mobile fortress of the new human race, and naturally everything is based on speculation.

Not to mention the power system, there is also a huge gap in the circuit, there is no more chaotic line as human beings on the land engineering ship, the line of electric energy operation is a crystal technology, not a pipeline, but a grain, a pattern carved with crystalline materials.

These patterns are somehow all over the land engineering ship, they are all connected to each other, and on the bulkhead, if you look closely, you can see some lines, and you can feel the bumps on the bulkhead, and when electricity is transmitted from these lines, there is no light source, it is not visible.

Arriving at the fusion reactor, Engineer No. 1 said, "Commander, once the fusion fuel tank is inserted, the land engineering ship can start operating." Hearing

this, Li Meng put away the cranky thoughts in his heart, concentrated his mind, moved his mind, and opened the item page.

From the item page, Lemon found the category page for fusion fuel canisters.

"Exchange fusion fuel tank, -50,000 resource points, -500,000 water resources, -5,000 sand resources, -500 silver resources, wormhole opening, light teleportation start, countdown: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1..." As

the sound of 2020 fell, in the dim cabin, I saw a white light suddenly gushing out from the void and plunged headlong on the ground in front of Li Meng, but in a second, the white brilliance disappeared, and darkness returned to the cabin.

As the white glow disappeared, something appeared on the ground.

It is about a meter long, cylindrical, about ten centimeters in diameter, and silvery in color.

This is a fusion fuel tank?

Seeing this, Li Meng bent down and picked up the fusion fuel tank from the ground.

So sinking....

Obviously not big, but holding in his arms is surprisingly heavy, Li Meng estimated, the weight of the fusion fuel tank in his hand is no less than five hundred pounds, of course, for the black armored guard, the weight of five hundred pounds can still be easily lifted.

Looking over the fusion reactor, Li Meng found a conspicuous groove.

Taking a step forward, Li Meng approached the fusion reactor, held the fusion fuel tank in both hands, aimed it at the groove, and inserted it.

Under Li Meng's push, the fusion fuel tank slowly submerged into the groove.

After successfully inserting the fusion fuel tank into the groove, Li Meng grabbed the handle on the outside and twisted it clockwise.

"Click..."

Only to hear the click, a buzzing roar suddenly sounded.

In the next instant, a little blue light emanated from the fusion reactor, and from the ground, a strip of blue light spread around, covering the ground and covering the entire bulkhead.

For some reason, Li Meng suddenly felt that his body became a lot heavier, as if he had entered the water, his every move gave people a sense of obstruction, looking towards the ground, Li Meng found out what the soft ground was.

It seems to be a solid, soft, the ground at this time turned blue, from the soft solid is secreting a blue luminous liquid, the liquid is flowing on the ground, although it is little, but it is gradually approaching the two.

At this time, Engineer No. 1 said: "Commander, we have to leave here, here is a large energy storage device, when providing power to the whole ship, excess electrical energy will be crushed into plasma for storage, once the plasma floods the fusion reactor, its own heat will be converted into electricity by the thermoelectric coil for recycling." "

So the blue liquid is plasma?

Hearing this, in the helmet, the expression on Li Meng's face tightened, and he quickly turned around and hurriedly walked outside the cabin.

The plasma is hot, up to millions of degrees, even tens of millions of degrees, Li Meng does not want to let the black armored guard take a plasma bath.

It wasn't until he left the energy storage cabin and the thick hatch was closed by Engineer No. 1 that Li Meng breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, it is worthy of being a scientific and technological product of advanced civilization, what plasma, although the vocabulary has been heard, but the principle of operation Li Meng is confused and does not understand anything.

At this time, with the operation of the fusion reactor, the whole ship has been electrified, and the soft light dispels the darkness inside the ship.

It's not early, there are more important things to do today, and Li Meng has not forgotten that there are still a lot of things that need to be solved by him in Qing'an Shelter.

Without wandering around the ship, at Li Meng's request, engineer No. 1 took Li Meng to the bridge.

The land engineering ship is an intelligent engineering ship, all the systems in the ship are controlled by biological brains, because there is no need for personnel to operate, the space of the bridge is not large, less than 100 square meters.

There are two floors, the upper one is a disc-shaped platform, small and less than ten meters in diameter, on which a wide seat is placed.
