Arknights? Colonization Ark!

Vacuum zero-point energy is also not suitable as civilian electricity because zero-point energy is actually a complex system formed by positive and negative electrons. This huge system is full of energy, but energy is like water. It can only go from high to low. It is everywhere, which means it is balanced everywhere. If you want to break the balance, you can only use more energy to pry it.

The premise of the zero-point reactor is to expend huge energy to create a true [vacuum space], just like digging a hole in the sea, and then letting the water in the surrounding [pseudo-vacuum space] continuously flow into the hole, using this energy. Therefore, to create a true [vacuum space], the energy benefit paid first must be far greater than the final benefit, and if you do not want to cause vacuum decay, you have to pay back as much as you use, because all this energy is borrowed from the vacuum.

As warships require a high-density and high-output energy source, these reactors can be manufactured, but power plants or colonial ships cannot. After all, there is no point in generating electricity if the input is greater than the output.

The technical data that Zhang Miao gave to the year was still designed according to the fusion reactor underground in Xuefeng. However, Zhang Miao did not deliver the required first-wall neutron absorption material immediately. He wanted to see what kind of power this so-called good casting behemoth possessed.

The data of this year will be used as a reference standard for other giants.

Lexington and Theresa were also following them. If possible, Zhang Miao even wanted to move a bunch of equipment over.

The construction site of the fusion reactor is in the southern part of Kazdale, which is relatively close to RemBitto and is a barren plain. When they arrived, a large number of engineers had already cleared a site here, and there were mountains of equipment and materials all around.

Nian clapped his hands with his fan, looked at the workers still walking around in the venue and said

"Okay, let them all leave."

"Don't you need help?"

"If you don't want to pay for their medical expenses, it's best to keep them away. I don't need to ask others for help with this task."

This... This is a building covering an area of ​​one square kilometer. Well, compared with a mobile city, it is indeed a small project. The technical content is the technical content, and the engineering volume is the engineering volume.

After evacuating the workers, Nian walked into the construction site alone. From Zhangmiao's perspective, Nian looked like an inconspicuous ant compared to the nearby steel and superconducting materials.

Thearesia comforted him.

"Don't worry, the behemoth represents the great power of this world."

The power of the world?

When Zhang Miao was thinking about the meaning of this sentence, he suddenly felt the temperature of the air around him rising, as if he was standing in front of a big stove, and even his skin began to heat up.

The air around the year has been completely distorted.

"Miss Nian's temperature has exceeded 3,700 degrees Celsius and is still rising."

"Three thousand eight, three thousand nine, four thousand, Miss Nian's temperature has exceeded four thousand degrees Celsius!"

Lexington's voice made Zhang Miao feel a little bit outrageous. This temperature had exceeded the limit of Tallulah's personal ability. Even metal would have melted. However, she herself seemed to be unaware of it, and even her clothes did not react at all.

Bah!

There was a sudden sound of metal knocking. Zhang Miao listened carefully. It was a hammer hitting red-hot steel. The sparks that flew up were about to scorch the air. Along with the knocking were thousands of people chanting sacrificial words. The sounds in the void were chaotic and noisy, as if blacksmiths from ancient times were forging plows to bring civilization from the wilderness to farming. It was the molten iron that kept churning in the furnace, which, after rolling and casting, created the steel jungle of the industrial age. It was the wail of a planet torn apart by gravity. The hot magma was extracted, centrifuged, and blended in the endless void, and finally cast into a starship by the magnetic field, carrying life into the next new place.

The sky has a furnace, the earth produces metal, the sun shines and the cold tempers the clouds

Chapter 150: Fusion Strike Ready

Zhang Miao looked at the scene in front of him and finally understood what Theresa meant by "the behemoth represents the power of this world."

In Nian's eyes, the entire earth became her anvil, and the building materials were ore. Under high-temperature smelting and hammering again and again, the pile of ore gradually took shape according to her ideas.

In the eyes of the onlookers, a huge shadow was looming, and countless materials seemed to be held up by pairs of invisible arms, and then pieced together in an orderly manner from the bottom layer. The places where welds should have existed were smooth and seamless, and the lattices were perfectly connected together without the slightest deviation. Even if Lexington was asked to do it, it would not be better than this.

Zhang Miao had only seen this scene in one place, and that was the shipyard. Every part was perfectly spliced ​​and assembled under the traction beam, not even a tiny pick was left out, and there was no possibility of any error or omission.

Although the latter is much more difficult than what we see now, it also refreshed Zhang Miao's understanding of the so-called behemoth.

How on earth did these damn psychics do it?

Just when Zhang Miao was complaining about Nian, Lexing Zedun nearby brought an unexpected news.

"The mechanical bug's detector detected a slight fluctuation in the Earth's core magnetic field, and it was almost simultaneous with Miss Nian's actions."

"......I see."

Zhang Miao looked at the power plant with a solid foundation and felt emotional. How wonderful it would be if this ability came at no cost. It was simply good news for all civil engineers. If Nian was willing to build a temple, she would probably have more worshippers than Buddha.

Unfortunately, this is impossible. If Nian's ability does not come at a price, other countries will still give up. Da Yan should have unified Terra by now and would never let Nian run around. The Twelve-Year-Old Beast will become the object of competition among all ambitious people in the world.

But the greater the price Nian paid, the more valuable this favor was in her eyes, and the more Zhang Miao owed her.

The Earth's core...

Zhang Miao shook his head and put these things behind him. He knew that if something came, he would be able to deal with it with his own strength. Thinking too much would only lead to him failing to accomplish anything well.

However, the rumor of building a city in one day was indeed an exaggeration. It took a whole morning to complete this reactor alone. All that was left was to prepare the fuel and ignite the reactor, and the reactor could start operating. As for the maintenance personnel, it was naturally impossible to rely on Kazdel at the moment, so Xuefeng had to send people to do it. Although they were also a group of new employees, they knew what they should do after all.

"Hu~~"

The elder let out a sigh, then wiped the non-existent sweat from her head and looked at her work with satisfaction. She actually preferred to make these production tools rather than weapons and equipment.

She turned around and waved to Zhang Miao in the distance.

"Boss, come and take a look at the magnetic confinement fusion reactor you requested. Check it out. Don't accuse me of cutting corners."

There was no need for Nian to talk about this matter, Lexington and Zhang Miao were ready to go in and investigate.

Only Theresa stood there, staring blankly at the reactor in front of her that was a hundred meters high.

According to what Zhang Miao had said to her before, this power station will directly bear all the future electricity consumption of the entire Kazdel, which is also the first step in the revival of Kazdel.

As for the value of this power station, Theresa knew it very well. Even the Originium engines of ten mobile cities would not be enough. All countries would be willing to pay a huge price in exchange for this technology.

This is not just a matter of power generation. Fusion reactors mean another possibility for Terra, the possibility of completely getting rid of natural disasters and mineral sickness and establishing fixed cities.

Theresa said as if to mock herself.

"This is completely unbearable."

Now, even if Zhang Miao is determined to go all the way, Theresa can only follow him. The relationship between them does not allow the one who owes money to be the boss.

At least the Sarkaz sold themselves for a good price.

As the two people in front of her walked further and further away, she put aside her melancholy and quickly caught up with them.

The four of them walked side by side inside the power station, and Lexington carefully checked every detail. It wasn't that he didn't believe in Nian's ability. Although nuclear fusion didn't carry as great risks as fission, it didn't mean that he could be careless and fool around.

However, as shown in 2017, this nuclear power plant fully meets the standards from the inside out, and even the first wall materials inside are perfectly up to standard.

Zhang Miao asked curiously

"How did you do it? If you already had this technique before today, why didn't you want to show it to Da Yan?"

"Show your worth, and Da Yan will probably pay more attention to you."

It can’t be that Nian doesn’t care about fame and fortune but loves hotpot, right?

"Because I can't, of course."

The answer of the year is very single.

"I'm not a prophet from anywhere. I don't have a lot of technical knowledge. I only remember the names of many things. And I just memorized the technical information you gave me from beginning to end."

"Even this is amazing. What is the price of this power?"

"Oh! I didn't expect you to figure it out. That's impressive. But I regret to tell you that this is a trade secret."

Zhang Miao didn't expect Nian to answer this question. Whether she remembered the technology or not, she would never leak it because that would mean the deal between her and Zhang Miao was broken.

Theresa also said

"Miss Nian, I thank you on behalf of the people of Kazdel. No matter how suitable it is for you to come here, the door of Kazdel will always be open to you."

"Ah, thanks, but it's just a deal."

Nian put on a generous expression, and then whispered a few words in Theresa's ear.

"If you want to thank me..."

"Eh? That's not good. If she doesn't want to, even I can't force her to agree."

Zhang Miao didn't know what Nian was talking about, but it was most likely related to the little actor she mentioned in the morning. She didn't know which poor child would be tortured by Nian, so Zhang Miao could only mourn for him and coughed twice to interrupt Nian's thoughts.

"Well, I wonder how long the remaining engineering year will take you?"

"Well... your requirements and technical complexity are much higher than Da Yan's. It will take at least two months to complete."

Two months, this speed is already very fast. After all, it is an industrial city that can accommodate millions of people. If the Sarkaz were to tinker with it themselves, it would surely take two or three years.

Since then, Kazdel's industrialization has taken the first step. The next thing to do is to open up trade routes, sell goods all over Terra, squeeze out their original industrial chain, and put everything in Zhang Miao's hands.
