Chapter 178: Chapter 178 Micro-Nuclear Battery
People's Alliance Base, in the Presidential Office Building.
Leon rarely had the heart to deal with the chores within the organization. Instead, he leaned back on the leather sofa and fell into deep thought.
Michonne, Jesus, and Clementine transmitted footage of their battle against the Sound Trackers from three different angles.
Looking at those monsters that were sweeping over like a wave at a very fast speed reminded Leon of a zombie movie he had seen in his previous life, "World War Z". It was a disaster movie in which the human army collapsed in front of zombies.
It is hard to imagine what would happen if this group of monsters, who can ignore ordinary firearms, have extremely strong vitality, cannot be killed by headshots, and are agile enough to form a human wall hundreds of meters high, appeared in front of them.
What kind of despair that would be.
To be honest, even he was not sure he could protect the residents of the Human Alliance from such a monster.
This is not an exaggeration. According to Hathaway and Dr. Melfa's speculation, among the hundreds of millions of monsters in the radiation zone, there are quite a few sound followers, which should account for about one-third to nearly one-half of ordinary zombies, and the number can reach tens of millions.
Although at present, these monsters are still lurking in the radiation zone and hiding in those dark buildings, not bothering anyone.
Everyone is doing their best and doing their best to make the strength of the organization continue to grow.
Seeing her husband coming, she unconsciously showed a lovely smile on her face, walked to Leon's side, kissed him on the side of his face, then sweetly took her husband's arm and said:
"In the past, the power output of one of our nuclear reactors was between 400 megawatts and 1,200 megawatts."
Leon was slightly surprised. He held his wife's warm hand. He didn't expect Peggy to have such a high evaluation. This also aroused his strong curiosity.
Half an hour later, Lyon drove to a remote forest, broke through layer after layer of sentries, and arrived in front of a large building.
"I hope to develop a safe and convenient super energy source."
In the middle of the playground, there is a large gun with a very sci-fi shape.
A cylindrical metal object, which looked like the black-tech battery in science fiction movies, appeared in front of everyone.
Micro nuclear battery!
After hearing this good news, I immediately became energized, and my original negative attitude was swept away.
"Although I can produce this kind of battery, I still don't fully understand the principle behind it."
As if sensing the shock in Leon's eyes, Professor Jacob sighed and said leisurely:
He raised his head, picked up the cream fruit cake on the table, stuffed a few bites into his mouth, then stood up and said:
It is precisely because of such external pressure that power struggles and corruption rarely occur within the SWAPO.
"And the power generation efficiency of this miniature nuclear power plant in my hand is about one percent of that of an ordinary reactor, which can reach about six megawatts."
"I have brought good news."
"But five years ago, a fungal virus infected all oil and natural gas, causing severe damage to our energy technology and greatly weakening our strength."
And in his eyes, Leon was not some great president, but more like his son-in-law.
After entering the laboratory, old Professor Jacob was already waiting there, and Leon unexpectedly discovered that his wife Peggy was also there. The two of them stood there with smiles on their faces, like a father and daughter with a harmonious relationship.
Professor Jacob has always been an authority on nuclear energy technology research. Any breakthrough in research projects in this area can be said to be a revolutionary achievement.
In the center of this metal cylinder is a layer of transparent tempered glass. Inside the glass flows a fluorescent light blue liquid, which looks very beautiful.
"Professor Jacob, what is going on?"
Leon closed his eyes and enjoyed the massage.
Old Professor Jacob stroked his snow-white beard, watched the interaction between the two with a smile, and his heart was filled with warmth.
"But over the years, no matter how hard we studied, we were unable to figure out the principles behind it, nor could we artificially replicate the Z element. We could only capture those super mutants through extremely dangerous battles."
"That is to say, it can generate about 6,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity per hour, which is enough to supply the electricity needs of a non-industrial town with a population of about 10,000 people."
Over the years, he watched the Human Union grow and develop slowly, and human civilization gradually revived under Lyon's leadership. In addition to feeling sad about the ups and downs of fate, he also felt proud of the spirit of self-improvement of the younger generations.
Today this little fairy is also dressed very beautifully, with a slim waist, big breasts, short skirt and black stockings. This girl seems to like to enhance her charm. Every time she has a vacation, she is either practicing yoga, exercising, or reading and studying, or buying clothes and accessories.
"However, after being catalyzed by element Z, its endurance has been slightly reduced. It can probably be used for six to seven years."
What the hell, it's like when you are middle-aged and too poor to even afford food, your father suddenly says to you:
"Son, in fact, these years have been a test for you. Our family is actually the richest in the world, and you are the richest second-generation rich in the world."
"Peggy just happened to make a new invention for us, and you are just able to see the results of our research."
This is the kind of super-black technology that can only appear in science fiction movies. Logically speaking, with current technology, shouldn't there be a few transitional products first?
How did it suddenly jump from solid-state batteries that can't even power electric cars to micro-nuclear batteries?
After saying that, he looked at Leon who was sitting in a daze in his seat, in a state of shock, and jokingly shook the micro nuclear battery in his hand and said:
"Although the battery I have in my hand is very stable and basically impossible to explode."
Professor Jacob took a sip of the unsweetened black coffee and continued to explain:
"When we first extracted this element, we discovered that the reason those super mutants were able to absorb nuclear radiation and strengthen their bodies to that extent was because of the z element. This element is a super catalyst stabilizer when facing nuclear reactions and has a very magical effect."
"He has made a major breakthrough in his research and needs your support."
But no one can predict for sure. Due to some reason or accident, the monsters in the radiation zone will rush out like a tsunami and wipe out all living things in the world.
Although Professor Jacob's voice was not loud and his words were not long, after Lyon heard it, he faintly heard a buzzing sound in his ears, and even his thoughts stagnated a little.
"My mentor will definitely win the Nobel Prize for this, and this invention will usher in a new era for mankind."
"So, at that time, I thought, even though we can't figure out the principle of the z-element, it doesn't prevent us from using it."
It has been ten years since the end of the world. Professor Jacob is nearly sixty-five years old. His hair and beard have turned white, his face is covered with wrinkles, and working in the laboratory for a long time has made him look a little thin.
For this reason, even though the lives of the survivors have gradually entered a stable stage, the researchers, scholars, officers within the organization, and managers who are aware of the truth have never slacked off in their work.
This shows how rare and secretive these creatures are. Not to mention whether we can kill them, even finding them is quite difficult.
"Its emergence can solve many of our organization's energy problems."
"Remember the z-element extracted from the super mutant?"
"If you want to use this technology on a larger scale, you must hunt more super mutants and obtain more z-elements."
He stroked his beard and said slowly:
"Leon, don't worry. Although we cannot mass-produce this super energy, as long as you can provide enough materials, the efficiency of artificial production is not low."
Without much greeting, a group of people entered the laboratory. Professor Jacob did not play tricks or keep people in suspense, but directly presented his research results.
She placed this high-calorie, cheerful snack in front of Leon, then walked behind the boss very considerately, pressed his back and shoulders with a very professional technique, and said with a smile:
"Boss, you seem to be very troubled. Is there something on your mind?"
"I hope the old professor can give me a surprise."
But the old man was in very good spirits, his light blue eyes were bright and his every word and action was elegant and refined, with a very scholarly temperament.
"We have controlled several nuclear power plants before, and we have a sufficient stockpile of radioactive materials to produce about 500 micro-nuclear batteries of this type."
Old Professor Jacob looked at Leon in front of him with admiration. He has always liked the young man's steadiness and calmness.
Leon looked in shock at the small thing in Professor Jacob's hand that was only as thick as his arm and less than thirty centimeters long.
"Leon, I am actually quite shocked myself. Logically speaking, with our modern technology, if we want to realize micro-nuclear battery technology, I don't know how many difficulties we have to overcome and how many technical barriers we have to break through before it can be realized."
"However, this micro nuclear battery is not what we know in the traditional scientific sense. I made it by accident using a technology that we ourselves cannot explain."
During the ten years since the end of the world, the Human Union has only encountered five super mutants.
Lyon nodded. Element Z is a necessary ingredient for the virus inhibitor Zonstatin. Currently, virus-infected people in the Human Union Organization must take Zonstatin every month, which consumes a certain amount of element Z.
Faced with Peggy's invitation, neither man refused. They brought their miniature nuclear batteries and went to a room at the bottom of the secret research institute that looked like a shooting range.
"However, the z-element in the organization is quite scarce. Most of it is used to produce virus inhibitors. The remaining part can only be used to manufacture two more equivalent models, or more miniaturized micro-nuclear batteries."
"You arrived just in time, Leon."
"And the most amazing ability of this element is that it can catalyze and stabilize nuclear reactions, making this very difficult to control nuclear fusion reaction stable and usable by us."
However, these are all minor details. He is a pragmatist. Since the thing has been made, no matter what method is used, as long as it can bring benefits to the Human League, it is a good treasure.
After listening to Professor Jacob's words, Leon's heart seemed to be poured with a bucket of cold water, and his excited mood calmed down a little.
The old professor stroked his beard, thought for a while, and said:
"If I explain it in too much detail, you may not understand. Let me give you a simple example."
It is not so easy to encounter super mutants, and even if you encounter them, it is quite troublesome to kill them.
This is also the motivation for him to continue to engage in various research projects even though he is getting older and his health is not as good as before.
He is Peggy and Sherman's college mentor. He has no children of his own, but his years of companionship have made Peggy and her siblings his closest descendants in the world. Even Peggy's youngest daughter is his favorite little girl.
"So, this is both a super energy source and a super weapon."
"However, if a special method is used to detonate it, it can probably directly vaporize everything within a few hundred meters, and the shock wave generated can kill all life within ten kilometers."
"You should be able to imagine what kind of changes this super energy will bring to us."
.........
The old professor placed the cylindrical metal iron in Leon's hand, his eyes emitting a certain light, but his tone was quite calm and he said:
"Leon, this is a miniature nuclear battery, a fairly stable miniature nuclear fusion reactor."
Seeing her husband Leon lost in thought, Peggy, who was sitting next to the two of them, smiled slightly and said to Professor Jacob:
"Teacher, didn't you say to let Leon see the weapon I made?"
"I'm very lucky. After so many years of hard work, everyone's efforts have finally paid off."
No one would have thought that such a small battery could supply electricity to a small town for six or seven years, and even kill lives within a radius of ten kilometers.
Just as he was racking his brains over how to deal with these followers, his secretary Avril walked in with a piece of cream fruit cake.
It is precisely because this young leader never panics and always makes the right decisions no matter what happens that the Awami League has gradually grown to its current size.
This was originally a hidden military base. Later, because the experiments conducted by Professor Jacob were too dangerous, they transformed it into a secret research institute specializing in nuclear energy experiments.
"My dear, now that you are here, you will definitely be grinning from ear to ear when you see your supervisor's research results."
This is really a black technology.
Leon nodded. This was a project he had approved, but at that time, Professor Jacob's research purpose was to figure out the capabilities and principles of the z element, and he did not mention the micro nuclear battery.
"It would be amazing if this was in the peaceful past."
"The problem of super mutants can't be solved right now. Let's go see if the weapons I made are useful first, shall we?"
He forcibly suppressed all distracting thoughts in his mind, remained calm, and asked seriously:
"Professor Jacob from the Research Department asked me to inform you that he invites you to take some time to visit his laboratory."
"Professor, with our organization's capabilities, is it difficult to produce this kind of micro-nuclear battery? How long will it take? What resources do we need?"
After seeing Leon coming over, the old professor was very happy. He reached out and held Leon's wrist, smiling and said:
After being shocked for nearly a minute, Leon suppressed his excitement and said calmly:
"The other materials aren't too hard to get, but the two main ones are radioactive materials and element z."
He replaced the battery in the old professor's hand and asked:
"Professor Jacob, what I am most concerned about now is the capability of this nuclear battery."
The old professor did not answer immediately, but took Peggy and Leon to the reception room of the institute, gave each of them a cup of hot coffee, and then said:
"However, not understanding its principle does not prevent us from using it."
"Why bother taking time? I'm free now. Let's go and take a look together."
Peggy is also in her thirties this year. With the mysterious liquid that Leon often gives her, she looks very young. Her figure and appearance are like a girl in her twenties, not like a mother who has given birth to a child.
They are the giant pink octopus, the super mutant spider, Giant Tom, the mutant crab queen in Miami, and the super giant turtle in the sea that has not yet been identified.
At the end of the shooting range, there was a row of large steel plates several dozen centimeters thick. Some of the plates had been hit by some unknown weapon, leaving several giant holes larger than a head.
"That's why I formed a research team and have been conducting research in this area."
After entering the shooting range, the sweet-looking Peggy said to Leon in a boastful tone:
"Look, honey."
"This is a high-energy laser gun that I designed. When used with a nuclear battery, its power will surely satisfy you."
