1018 Cutting corners

Jukai.

Luo Qi personally rushed to the power cabin with a squad, pointed to the reactor and shouted: "Hurry up, hurry up, put all the explosives for me!" ”

Several fighters rushed forward, some placing explosives under the reactor's casing, some placing explosives on the pipes of the first circuit, and some cutting the floor near the reactor.

Everything was in order, and Luo Qi shouted on the radio again: "Lower second deck, are you in place?" ”

Orders are easy to order, but not so easy to execute.

The reactor of the transport ship is located in the middle and rear of the battleship, with a height of more than ten meters, and the entire reactor runs through three decks, and according to the practice of the Navy, the power compartment does not belong to any of the decks, but is called the power deck separately.

Below the power deck is the lower second deck, and further down is the bilge, so the distance between the reactor and the bilge is not far, which is very beneficial for the implementation of the plan.

Luo Qi immediately received an answer from the bilge: "The lower second deck is in place, and it is cutting!" ”

"Hurry up!" Luo Qi instructed, "Bilge, how is the situation?" ”

There was a fierce gunfire on the radio, and Luo Qi couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.

"Report, the enemy is gouging through the bilge, blocking, blocking!"

"Watch the time, time is running out!" Luo Qi said.

"The bilge understands ......"

"Report, the lower second deck is penetrated!"

"Good!" Luo Qi raised his head suddenly, "Class 4-"

"Report, explosives have been planted!"

"Great, No. 1, No. 1, I'm Luo Qi, the Sea of Trees is ready!"

Ye Han, who received the news, did not hesitate: "It will go as planned." ”

At this time, Ye Han had just returned to the ship's ridge and looked at the wreckage of the Red Sea two kilometers away.

Just half a minute ago, the Red Sea was hit by a nuclear shell from space, and the already dilapidated battleship was shattered in the nuclear explosion, and most of the hull disappeared, leaving only a small section in the bow and stern.

The enemy forces that invaded the Red Sea must have been completely wiped out, but I don't know if the servants on the Red Sea have escaped.

Luo Qi also felt the vibration of the nuclear explosion, but he didn't pay attention to it at all, he simply replied yes neatly, and then immediately conveyed the order: "Bilge, I order you to evacuate immediately, twenty seconds, you only have twenty seconds!" ”

"Bilge received, withdrawn!"

At the sound of an order, a dense explosion suddenly came from the bilge, and after the troops in the bilge detonated a large number of grenades and several explosive packs, everyone immediately activated the flight packets and rushed to the passage leading to the lower second deck.

At the same time, a similar scene was played out on other ships, with two groups of men on each ship on board, one rushing to the power compartment to destroy the reactor and release nuclear waste into the bilge.

Attention, it's nuclear waste, not nuclear fuel!

The longer the half-life of the substance, the lower its radiation intensity, the half-life of uranium-235 is as long as 700 million years, and uranium-238 is as long as 4.5 billion years, so the radiation intensity of uranium fuel rods is not high, even if you hold it directly in your hand without any protection, the human body does not receive much radiation, and the reason why you wear gloves when carrying fuel rods is not to prevent radiation, but to prevent contamination of fuel rods.

Nuclear waste or spent fuel is different, the main component of the fuel rods that have undergone nuclear reaction is no longer simple uranium-235, but isotopes containing hundreds of various elements, their half-lives are as short as a few milliseconds, thousands of years long, and their radiation intensity is far greater than that of simple nuclear fuel!

The reactor of the Haizi transport ship has been in operation for more than half a year, and there is a strong radioactive substance in the core, which must be enough for the noble army to drink a good pot.

Another group rushed to the lower second deck, to be precise, under the reactor, cutting the deck directly below the reactor to open a passage for the flow of nuclear waste.

Speaking of which, it is necessary to talk about nuclear reactors.

Until now, mankind has not been able to conquer controlled nuclear fusion technology, so all reactors, whether military or civilian, are fission reactors.

According to the fuel state, the reactor can be simply divided into solid fuel and liquid fuel, the former is the most familiar to the public, the most widely used, and the nuclear reactor fueled by metal fuel rods.

Strictly speaking, the latter is divided into two situations, one is to use molten metal or liquid alloy containing fissile material as fuel, called liquid metal fuel reactor, focusing on the fuel state; The second is to pour molten metal or alloy into the hot circuit of the reactor, and replace the cooling water with liquid metal, which is called a liquid metal cold reactor, and the focus is on what the cooling material in the circuit is.

Liquid metal reactors have always been a key research direction for military reactors, and they were used in the first space warships converted from space shuttles.

Today, the liquid metal reactor has made great progress, widely used in various human space vehicles, all types of capital ships in the North Moon Continent fleet, including assault ships are used in this kind of reactor, which is characterized by low operating pressure, equipment efficiency and reliability are relatively high.

These two points are one of the important reasons why the military of various countries chooses liquid metal piles.

However, there are no absolutes, only real human warships will be equipped with liquid metal piles, and the Haizi transport ships provided to the resistance groups are not in the human combat sequence at all, except for a few key positions such as armor and thrusters, other parts and components are either cut corners or defective.

In order to manufacture these warships, the orbital factory, which is accustomed to building warships to the highest standards, also spent a lot of brain cells, and as a result, the final finished product not only cut corners, but also made the manufacturing process miserable, and all the structures that could be omitted in the ship were omitted.

If aliens use transport ships to reverse engineer, they will have to make themselves nervous in the end.

The reason for this situation is that the northern capital has never let down its defense against the resistance group, and secondly, to prevent warship technology, including reactor technology, from falling into the hands of aliens.

This is no joke, and the military even believed that the purpose of the Resistance group's cooperation with humans was to deceive a group of human warships.

After all, the aliens have preliminarily mastered the artillery technology, and after getting the human warship, it may not be impossible to copy a batch of copycat versions, even if it absorbs a little bit of the manufacturing concept of the human warship, it is not good news for mankind.

So don't look at these warships on the surface, there are no problems, and there is nothing wrong with using them, but the warships with sufficient materials can be used for decades, and these transport ships can be used for a few years.

Anyway, the Resistance doesn't plan to use it forever, as long as it can fly to Jupiter and then fly back to Europa, now it's even simpler, just throw these battleships on Ganymede, and it is impossible to fly again if you want to, even if the Resistance wants to break its head, don't want to demolish the catty here.
