Chapter 618: Chapter 285: Nuclear Reactor
In the United States, you can be dead, but you can’t be without a job. This text is hosted at novel(ꜰ)ire.net
This level of absurdity qualifies you as a Floridian.
A Florida man smeared peanut butter on his fist and tried to punch another person who was allergic to peanuts.
Then he found out that the peanut butter didn’t contain any peanuts, and in frustration, he sued the manufacturing company and even won compensation.
Allen Zhang fell into contemplation and tentatively asked: “How did you manage to make the radiation shielding device and successfully transform it? Did you study physics related to this before?”
“I bought a smaller, same-structured, same-material nuclear toy a long time ago for 26 US Dollars,” Harvard honestly replied, “Because I have disassembled and assembled it many times, I understand the structure and principle inside, so transforming it into a generator was quite easy. You know, nuclear power plants? Just and then that.”
What the heck are you babbling about? I can’t understand a thing.
Allen Zhang calmed down and then asked, “Ok, where is that nuclear power device? Are you sure there’s no risk?”
“Dude, you don’t trust me? If there was any risk, do you think I could still stand in front of you? Look at me! Perfectly healthy! Totally normal! Except I don’t like to take showers, but that’s just my personal habit. I shower at most twice a year.” Harvard babbled as he bounced around to prove his point.
Honestly, seeing his lunatic appearance, the General Sect Leader could finally give up all hope.
Because this is totally not something a normal person would do.
This guy must have had his brain squeezed by a door or his intelligence affected by nuclear radiation. Call him stupid, but he can modify a nuclear reactor; call him smart, but he inadvertently emits a silly vibe when he speaks.
This might just be what a genius looks like.
Allen Zhang couldn’t help but sigh.
Jennifer and Erin immediately took a step back, keeping a respectful distance.
Just the smell from afar!
“Let’s go in and see. Maybe there really is no risk.” Allen Zhang immediately decided to trust him once, because without seeing the real thing he couldn’t judge its value, and he was also curious about how the other party could manually manipulate a nuclear reactor.
Dominic and David found themselves in a difficult position, advising the General Sect Leader, “That’s nuclear radiation! It might just be that his body is special and unaffected. It’s better to prepare some protection in advance.”
“You’re right, Mr. Harvard, why don’t you go in first? We might need to prepare a bit more.” Allen Zhang nodded.
“You still don’t trust me.” Harvard replied discontentedly, “Fine, I’ll prove it to you right now!”
He turned and opened the warehouse door, walked in, and after a few minutes came out unscathed. He even chewed on a couple of soft candy-stuffed bread and drank some milk.
“See! I told you, no danger! I know what you were worried about, but honestly, the fact that you were willing to come here and do the recycling work surprised me already. After all, when I actively contacted several recycling stations and told them I wanted to sell a nuclear reactor, they thought I was crazy and had absolutely no intention of buying it.” Harvard complained.
“Then can you tell me, what use would buying this thing have for me?” Allen Zhang asked.
“There are many uses! Firstly, you should all understand, a nuclear reactor can sustain a controlled self-sustaining chain reaction to utilize nuclear energy. By arranging nuclear fuel logically, and without adding a neutron source, a self-sustaining chain reaction occurs inside. The basic working principle of a nuclear reactor is based on chain reactions, using neutrons to bomb the nuclei of nuclear fuel, causing nuclear fission to release tremendous energy and produce new neutrons, which then cause new fissions, forming a so-called chain reaction.”
“The energy produced by the reactor during the fission process is transformed into thermal energy by the heat exchanger, then into mechanical energy by the steam turbine, and finally transformed into electrical energy. Specifically, the heat produced by the reactor is carried away by circulating water (or other substances) to prevent the reactor from overheating and burning. The exported heat can turn water into steam, which then drives the turbine to generate electricity.”
Harvard went on, “After my modification, first of all, it can generate electricity, saving a lot of electric bills, and secondly, it can provide nuclear power energy. As long as there is enough fuel, it can at least allow mini submarines and sea vessels to sail for a long time.”
“Don’t tell me you also want to install the whole nuclear-powered submarines and warship set on other ships.” Allen Zhang looked bewildered.
“I indeed have this idea, and I downloaded some blueprints from the internet for reference, but I felt the project was too large; impossible for me to handle alone. I can’t buy nuclear fuel either. I don’t have money for it, so I have to shelve the plan for now.” Harvard frankly admitted.
After taking a deep breath, Allen Zhang exchanged glances with Dominic and others, feeling that this guy was a bit too crazy.
How convoluted and bizarre.
Design diagrams for warships and nuclear submarines are mostly public, but a complete warship diagram weighs hundreds of tons, and even if you could see it, you wouldn’t understand and couldn’t build it.
But if it’s just installed on other conventional warships or yachts, considering the replacement of power sources, converting the engines to nuclear power generation, it might still be possible to complete.
