Apocalypse: The Stronghold System

Chapter 071: Nuclear Fusion, and Rocket Launch

The screen, which is usually used to keep an eye on the surroundings via radar, is now turned into dozens of blocks that show the inside of space at the site of the Controlled Heavy Nuclear Fusion.

Academy Song scanned the screen in front of him closely, then sighed with inexplicable emotions. He had not expected the newly built Refuge within a month, capable of creating a Controlled Heavy Nuclear Fusion.

This is a very fast time, even the country takes years just to build its place, not to mention the research and obstacles faced. But here, everything is done and it just needs to do a real test.

But when looking at the technological advancement here, Academy Song was able to accept it. With the worker robots, everything could be completed faster, and he realized that: living here is better than in the Imperial City, even though the infrastructure is not yet complete, but at least there is a place that guarantees the health of everyone here, coupled with the existence of an extraordinary doctor who mastered all fields.

Song academics also realized that his research on the regulation of gene expression was strongly supported here, and with help from Xu Chen and Bing Shan, he opened a new page on the regulation of gene expression. He is no longer just limited to genes that kill cancer cells, but now genes that are capable of increasing the lifespan of humans.

Academician Song looked at the woman standing to the left of Fan Chen, he knew who it was, it was Xiaochu, Artificial Intelligence in Mingyue Defense. He still could not believe and did not expect, this place could create a perfect humanoid robot.

Fan Chen looked at the screen which was divided into dozens of blocks. "Xiaochu, shrink the screen and send the data of the Controlled Heavy Nuclear Fusion in real time next to it."

Xiaochu simply nodded, then the screen was split into two parts: the left was a dozen blocks, and next to it was data with incomprehensible numbers.

Wang Bin who was seen in the design and creation of the secret code for the Controlled Heavy Nuclear Fusion, observed every number. "Captain, there's no problem in the design part of the control system."

Xu Chen nodded and added, "The magnetic field in Tokamak has already been refined; the Energy Crystals have already been broken down and the hydrogen in them has already been taken away."

"Is there radiation?" Fan Chen was very worried about this radiation, especially the nuclear radiation could help the Mutant Beasts increase.

Xu Chen nodded, then nodded his head. "We make a Controlled Heavy Nuclear Fusion, not a Nuclear Fission separating the atomic nucleus from Uranium, we use the method of merging between two hydrogens to create helium. The hydrogen used is usually from Tritium and Deuterium, but we're from Energy Crystals. Energy Crystals were harmless, there were no radiant radiations, even Academician Song was developing an Evolution Liquid with a mixture of Energy Crystals ..."

"However, anything nuclear-related must have radiation, but the radiation built up in the Heavily Controlled Nuclear Fusion is not so heavy as to harm human health."

Fan Xiaoyu pointed at the data in front of him. "Did you understand that?" He looked at Fan Chen beside him.

Fan Chen smiled, he rubbed Fan Xiaoyu's head. "Of course, if Yu'er wants to, I can help you learn."

Fan Xiaoyu shook her head and said, "Although Yu'er is good in academics, but Yu'er hates being studied so much."

Fan Chen smiled faintly and shook his head. Then he looked at the screen while saying, "Xiaochu, activate the Nuclear Fusion."

"Good." Xiaochu nodded, then there was a buzzing sound like an explosion, the sound came from the room the Nuclear Fusion was in.

The data began to show changes and Xu Chen reported, "Captain, the temperature increased by a rapid 100,000° ... 800.000° ... 36.000.000° ..."

"Temperature has reached 150,000,000° Celsius and there are no signs of improvement. The huge magnet inside Tokamak managed to lock the plasma away and there was no sign of touching the wall. Helium was successfully formed from a collision between two hydrogens, and the plasma managed to spew neutrons."

Xu Chen continued to monitor the changes in data. "Neutron crashed into the walls of Tokamak with energy. The neutron energy was successfully taken, now the water starts to heat up and the steam goes towards the turbine."

Wang Bin looked at the different data with his eyes open without blinking. "Turbine successfully rotates, voltage continues to increase, 100 kiloVolt .. 300 kiloVolt .. 800 kiloVolt ..."

Xu Chen beside him took out a paper and pen, he started to count by looking at the data displayed. "Captain, Energy Crystals from Level 20 Mutant Beasts contained 200 ounces of hydrogen and produced 80,000,000 kWh. It could illuminate 40,000 households for one year."

Fan Chen gave a small nod and said, "Mingyue Defense has 20 houses, Graphene Chip Factory, Graphene Battery Factory, Robot and Drone Factory, Exoskeleton Factory and Robot Armor, Conventional and Laser Weapons Factory, Graphene Battery Factory, and Quantum Computers. If all is well, Nuclear Fusion could give us free electrical energy for 1,000 to 1,200 years."

After hearing the words of Xu Chen and Fan Chen, finally those who did not understand the Heavy Controlled Nuclear Fusion, could not remain silent and were a little noisy with expressions of incomprehensible shock.

"Sister! Have we succeeded?"

Fan Chen turned his head to look at the extremely excited Fan Xiaoyu, he patted his sister's head gently and replied, "Never, we should monitor her. Whether the Nuclear Fusion can work for eight hours, if it works, we will shut down the Nuclear Fusion and come for inspection. Then sixteen hours, turn it off and check again, until one day it lights up and checked again. If all is well, the Nuclear Fusion could be declared successful."

"Yes ..." Fan Chen gave a small nod, he tightly hugged Fan Xiaoyu. "But, isn't this worth celebrating?"

Fan Xiaoyu was stunned when she was suddenly hugged, but she regained her senses quickly and hugged Fan Chen with a happy smile.

Fan Chen looked at Xu Chen and Wang Bin who were focused on observing the data change. "You two, we're going out for a big meal, do you want to come?"

"Sorry Captain, I will stay here to observe. I can call Xia Yu later to bring some food here."

Xia Yu was the Chef who was summoned after Yin Mei.

"All right." Fan Chen turned around while clasping Fan Xiaoyu's hand. "You coming?" He looked at Xiaochu beside him.

"Xiaochu could not taste food, but Xiaochu could still eat and drink." Xiaochu snorted with a strong breath from his nose while patting his chest.

Fan Chen scratched his head; a little confused about Xiaochu. "You can breathe?"

Fan Xiaoyu looked at Fan Chen with a gaze full of question marks. "Sister asked that? There is a more important question."

Xiaochu nodded and explained, "It could be said that way, but Xiaochu actually inhaled carbon dioxide and released oxygen. Xiaochu can drink water and separate it into hydrogen and oxygen."

Fan Chen stopped, he bowed observing Xiaochu's stomach wrapped in clothes. "Your stomach, what's in it?"

Fan Xiaoyu stood behind Xiaochu, he squeezed out a chest made of silicon and graphite alloys. "Damn! It's big! Xiaochu, how can you take the shape of a chest like this."

Xiaochu could not feel the touch and did not understand this kind of common sense, so he let it go. He froze for a while when suddenly the Signal Transmitter Drone caught something, he lowered his head to look at Fan Chen who was still observing his stomach. "Master, the Imperial City is ready to launch a rocket. It is expected that tomorrow it will be launched, what does Master want to do?"

Fan Chen stood up, looking at Xiaochu. "What about the electromagnetic pulse bomb-carrying drones?"

Xiaochu's eyes emitted light and revealed hundreds of holographic drones in the air. "Because rockets have complex electronic circuits and small Scanning Drones, we need a lot of electromagnetic pulse bombs to get maximum results. The captain only needed to give the order, Xiaochu directly sent everything to the launch site."

"Xiaochu has also done the calculations where the exact location to release the electromagnetic pulse bomb." When Xiaochu said that, the holograph changed again. Hundreds of drones formed a vast hexagonal formation and in the middle of it were empty for the rockets to pass through.

"We can activate electromagnetic pulse bombs at an altitude of one kilometer, three kilometers, five kilometers and eight kilometers."

Fan Chen looked at the projection where the rocket glided in the middle of a hexagonal formation and the drone that carried an active electromagnetic pulse, releasing electromagnetic waves with high frequencies that disrupted the rocket circuit.

Three seconds after the electromagnetic pulse bomb is activated, the drone carrying it will explode.

Fan Chen nodded his head and said, "Take off all the drones and take the appropriate position. To activate the electromagnetic pulse bomb, you do not need to ask permission, when the rocket reaches a predetermined position, directly activate it."

"Good, Master." Xiaochu nodded his head.

Then, the Robot and Drone Factory in the Industrial Region started to emit vibration sounds. The sound came from the roof that split in two, then saw hundreds of drones flying quickly through the roof, and at that moment, the drone suddenly disappeared because of camouflage following the surroundings.
