Attractive steel, electromagnetic engine, and nuclear reactor.
These three made up the core technology of this super giant ship. Ye Qing had mobilized almost all the Master Jinqiao and Master Metal Experts that could be deployed to the underground base to build these three pieces of equipment that were far beyond the current human industrial level.
Among them, the simplest was the nuclear reactor.
With ready-made blueprints and ready-made metallurgical technology, the only problem was the extraction of uranium-235.
Fortunately, there was a huge amount of copper-uranium-mica ore in the Sotu Rainforest.
Now, twelve supercritical units had arrived in the Sotu Rainforest, and a huge amount of high-quality thermal coal ordered from Australia was continuously shipped to Port Covent, the closest to the Sotu Rainforest.
There were many simply purified uranium ores piled up there. As long as there was enough electricity, they could be further purified and finally transported to the Longxitan Beach factory for the extraction of 90% enriched uranium.
90% enriched uranium-235 was the most suitable ratio after calculation. Further purification, on the one hand, the cost of geometrically expanding. On the other hand, the US Navy used uranium-235 with a purity of more than 97%, which greatly increased the danger of nuclear reaction work.
The US Navy had a large number of nuclear warheads to squander, but Monster Industries did not have the resources, and there was no need. The difference of a few points of purity was only the difference between 30 years of continuous operation and 26 or 27 years of continuous operation.
In addition, Monster Industries was launching an ultra-supercritical unit reactor, which had more stringent requirements for the safety performance of the reactor.
Now, only Hua Xia and the United States were researching technology in this area. Although the technical theory was no longer a problem, the industrial manufacturing power could not keep up.
The reactor was not a problem. Among the remaining sound-absorbing steel and electromagnetic engine, the sound-absorbing steel was the most difficult.
The special shell of the experimental robot in the morning was born out of the sound-absorbing steel technology. But the real sound-absorbing steel was three times more complicated. The special single-crystal alloy was only the bottom layer of the sound-absorbing steel. On the outside, there was a layer of conductive material and a special metal coating used to absorb all electromagnetic waves.
Nuclear radiation was an incomplete form of electromagnetic waves.
Except for alpha particle radiation and beta radiation, the remaining neutron radiation and the most penetrating gamma rays were actually a form of electromagnetic waves. It was just that the wavelength and frequency were different. Therefore, the sound-absorbing steel had almost immunity in the face of a strong radiation environment.
However, the special metal coating on the outermost layer was extremely complicated and tedious to make.
For example, the higher the atomic number of a metal, the better its ability to intercept radiation and electromagnetic waves. An atomic sequence of 110 could almost allow semiconductor electronic equipment to work continuously for a month under a radiation environment of 300 Sieverts.
However, the special metal coating on the outermost layer of the sound-absorbing steel definitely did not follow this theory. Otherwise, the more electromagnetic radiation it intercepted, the stronger the signal reflection would be. At that time, even the antique radar from World War II would be able to detect its tracks.
Its atomic number is 1.
All electromagnetic radiation could easily pass through this coating like light passing through glass, and then be absorbed by the second conductive coating.
In order to create this special metal coating, it required the cooperation of a plasma battery converter. In the same way, the special metal was bombarded into a liquid state by instantaneous high-power discharge. Finally, it was plated onto the conductive layer by vapor deposition.
Among these special metals, 33% of them were metallic lithium. Lithium metal was widely used in daily life. Almost all electronic products had lithium batteries.
Lithium was the metal with the lowest density and atomic number. This metal had an atomic number of 3. If it was thrown into water, it would float on the surface of the water like wood. However, the lithium used here was monocrystalline lithium with a purity infinitely close to 100.
In the environment of a strong electromagnetic field, the liquid metal gradually turned into a solid state. Without the need for a mold, it would naturally grow into a perfect cube.
The internal atoms were arranged in a regular manner. No matter what observation instrument was used, only one crystal grain could be seen.
It changed from an ordinary silver-white color to a translucent color. It looked like a drop of mercury, but also like a diamond. It seemed indestructible, but in fact, as long as it was touched with a hand, this perfect cube would completely turn into dust like a collapsed gene chain.
It was amazing and incredible.
Making monocrystalline lithium was only one of the materials. The remaining four coating materials were as complicated as the steps to make lithium metal.
In comparison, making a reactor and an electromagnetic engine seemed very simple.
Not to mention the reactor, the difficult part of the electromagnetic engine was to process the metal according to the lines of the magnetic field lines. Using the metal body to express the invisible magnetic field lines. Fortunately, the technology was common. In order to produce the sound-absorbing steel, a large amount of monocrystalline metal was needed. The monsters had deliberately created a major industrial facility that was comparable to a metal smelting center and a metal converter.
A strong magnetic field generator.
In the underground base, an industrial equipment that was comparable to the time travel device in the science fiction film was placed not far from the metal smelting center.
The three-story building, the main body of which was a circular magnetic field generator equipment, was sealed by a square glass curtain wall building. Entering it, one must first be dusted and replaced with a dust-free suit. When the strong magnetic field generator was started, the circular ring generator would rotate clockwise around the workbench in the middle, using a powerful artificial magnetic field to change the atomic structure of the metal material in the workbench.
To produce the spindle of the electromagnetic engine, one only needs to put the metal solution into a special growth container and then load the blueprint of the electromagnetic engine. The strong magnetic field generator will generate a special magnetic field according to the parameters of the blueprint and directly produce the spindle into a perfect cylindrical shape.
The monsters then process the perfect cylindrical shape into the final shape according to the blueprint structure.
...
The next day.
Thousands of miles away in Nigeria, the country of Africa, ushered in a new day.
Poverty, backwardness, and turmoil.
This was synonymous with most countries in Africa and Nigeria.
However, in the Anut Special District of Nigeria, something happened that could be recorded in history.
Yesterday in Anut City, until the sun rose again, there was not a single gunshot!
When General Maups, the leader of the entire Anut District, learned the news, he was stunned for five minutes. Finally, he burst into tears and hugged his father's oil painting and cried silently.
How long has it been?
The last time there was no gunshot in Anut City for 24 hours, it was 50 years ago, before he was born. At that time, Anut City was still a place of huts and plank houses. The locals could only choose long hair and big knives because the only guns were in the hands of the Maups family.
After collecting his emotions, General Maups shouted, "Come in."
Two strong black men in military uniforms ran in. They were General Maups's personal guards and were responsible for all the daily affairs of General Maups.
"Inform that the drinking water in the city today is free."
The two guards were also stunned. They couldn't understand why the boss was crazy and wanted to cut off an important financial source for a day. However, General Maups was so powerful that they didn't even have the courage to ask. They ran away and informed the department that managed the water source.
Putting on a well-made suit, General Maups put on the family ring that symbolized power, walked out of the house in a good mood, and asked his subordinates to drive the old Land Rover Range Rover to take him around the city.
He wanted to patrol his territory, inspect the spirit of the people below, and see what kind of changes they had made. They had collectively taken the wrong medicine and even abandoned the "traditional living customs" that had been maintained for decades.
Two equally old Toyota off-road vehicles, one in front and one behind, General Maups hummed a song and followed the only concrete main road to patrol in the direction of the municipal area.
General Maups was also an intellectual who had studied in Europe, so after he took over the power from his father, the first thing he did was to imitate the pattern of European cities and establish a complete set of urban management agencies.
This included the Public Health Bureau, the Commerce Bureau, and the Agriculture Bureau, which only had a name.
On the main road, there were some respectable upper-class people coming and going. When they saw General Maups's car, without exception, they all paused and nodded at the Land Rover Range Rover. When General Maups saw acquaintances, he would also nod at the people outside the window.
Not sure if it was the effect of the gunfire that disappeared for a day, but General Maups found that the people on the street were more energetic than before, and there was more sincerity in their eyes when they saluted him.
Then, a half-new three-story gray-white building appeared in the field of vision of General Mopu. This building was the City Hall, and it was also the place where General Mopu would work for a long time.
Looking at the familiar building, General Maups couldn't help but feel excited.
Because the car would arrive at the site of a modern factory under construction after another turn. The driver had been with General Maups for more than ten years, and he already knew the nature of this boss. When he saw the boss's longing smile, he immediately sped up.
Two minutes later, a construction site surrounded by steel wire appeared in front of General Maups's eyes.
This construction site covered an area of hundreds of thousands of square meters. Through the two-meter-high steel wire, he could clearly see that there were several giant steel factories under construction. Hundreds of local workers with dark skin were working under the guidance of more than ten Hua Xia -looking technicians.
They all wore the same light gray work clothes, and some were pushing wheelbarrows filled with concrete. Some were in groups of dozens, and they were carrying a bundle of steel bars.
The rest of the workers were all busy leveling the ground. They used shovels to scoop up concrete and lay it on the wooden structure and pebbles on the ground.
Seeing this scene, General Maups's smile became even more beautiful.
What made these local natives, who were originally lazy and could play for three days after one day of work, burst out with 100% enthusiasm?
It was the Chinese metal signboard of [Anut Water Co., Ltd.] at the entrance of the construction site.
It was the vision of a beautiful life in the future where they could comfortably use a pure water source at home.
It was the two guards with AKs standing at the entrance, and more than ten supervisors with whips in their hands who would whip anyone who dared to slack off.
This was called the combination of Chinese and African, where science and traditional methods perfectly complemented each other.
His beautiful vision was interrupted by the sound of a satellite phone ringing. After answering the phone, General Maups smiled so widely that his eyes almost narrowed.
He spent a lot of money to order a large batch of modern industrial products, and they finally arrived today. The Monster Industries were awesome, and they brought hope and modernization to the Anut area. He couldn't fall behind, right?
