The Police Came?
After Jiang Chen pressed the switch, he quickly stood up and looked at the nuclear engine on the ground!
"Buzz!"
In the next moment, a strange fluctuation came from the engine. Faint ripples appeared in the air and disappeared in an instant.
This was a unique effect of a nuclear reactor. Nuclear fission was a process that consumed matter to transform into energy, and energy was not matter. It meant that in the process of conversion, the space and time would undergo extremely subtle distortions, just like a brick wall that had been neatly stacked together suddenly missing a piece.
The next second, a light blue glow rose from the engine. This was also the sound and light effect unique to nuclear reactions, which was the so-called Cherenkov radiation.
The reason for this was that the speed of light could only reach its highest speed in a vacuum. When it passed through a medium, such as air or heavy water, its speed would slow down.
Water could slow down the speed of light by 25%, which caused the high-speed electrons produced by the nuclear reaction to surpass the speed of light at a certain moment, forming a visible glow.
"Sizzle ~"
Not long after, the glow gradually turned into a dazzling orange color, and the number also increased. In the blink of an eye, they filled the entire area covered by the ring's outer shell!
The light it emitted also became more and more intense, finally turning reddish-yellow.
From afar, it looked like a small sun on the ground!
"1…2…3…4…5…6, activation complete!”
Jiang Chen silently counted. From the time he pressed the switch to the current state, it took a total of six seconds.
In six seconds, his miniature nuclear reactor had achieved full power activation!
He shook his head with slight dissatisfaction. The activation speed was too slow, and he could still make some adjustments!
He looked down at the rectangular black box in his hand. There were all kinds of buttons on it and a palm-sized screen.
On the screen, all kinds of data were flashing and changing!
He stared at the screen and murmured,"" Radiation, 6 millirem per hour…Power…"
" 2,800 volts!"
"Enough, enough, absolutely enough!”
Jiang Chen nodded.
With such a high power output, it was more than enough to supply the entire Beiwan Village with electricity for half a year, let alone support the work of a mecha!
After all, the nuclear reactor of a nuclear aircraft carrier in America only had a power output of a few hundred thousand Kilowatts. The total power output of the eight internal combustion engines of China's conventional aircraft carrier was only about 200,000 Kilowatts.
With the size of the reactor in front of Jiang Chen, to be able to achieve such a high output power, it was obviously impressive.
The price he paid was a drastic reduction in fuel consumption. If he turned on full power, Jiang Chen estimated that in five years at most, the few kilograms of nuclear fuel he got from the spacecraft would be completely burned.
However, this was not a flaw. After all, for most engines, the full-power activation would only occur when the upper limit was tested. Under normal conditions, the engine could only perform at 30% to 40%.
This would greatly reduce the rate of nuclear fuel consumption. If it didn't work, Jiang Chen could also purchase it from the system.
It was just that the price was extremely expensive.
Moreover, the amount of radiation had reached a level that the human body could completely accept. Six millirem of radiation was only half of the amount of radiation produced by an X-ray examination in the hospital. It would not affect the human body at all!
This was the effect of the transparent shell. It was a piece of lead oxide-based glass that Jiang Chen had previously collected, which could isolate nuclear radiation!
In medicine, it was often used for radiation protection and shielding. For example, the observation window in the X-ray room was usually made of this material!
"This nuclear engine is basically complete!”Jiang Chen mumbled, obviously satisfied.
Then, he pressed the switch of the engine. The small sun slowly disappeared and soon returned to normal.
"Engine shut down time…10 seconds. The chain reaction shut down speed is a little slow.”Jiang Chen mumbled as he looked down at the device in his hand and pressed a button.
A piece of A4-sized paper was slowly spat out from one end of the rectangular box.
Looking closely, the data that had just been tested was neatly arranged on it.
It turned out that this was not only a device that could comprehensively test various data, but it could also be printed... Without a doubt, this was also a high-tech device that he had exchanged from the system store!
Jiang Chen took a pencil and wrote the engine start time and shut down time on it, then wrote " Nuclear Power Engine Test Data " at the top.
Then, he took a folder from the wall beside him and put the A4 paper into the folder. Inside the folder, there was already a thick layer.
It seemed like Jiang Chen did have a lot of tricks up his sleeve. Although he was a waste collector in name, as a civilian scientist, the effort he put in was not much different from that of a real researcher!
Of course, this was also the reason why he was extremely short of money…
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen subconsciously said in his heart,""System store, check the remaining points.”
system store
Host: Jiang Chen
[Remaining System Points: 6350]
He only had 6,000 points left!
Looking at the virtual interface in front of him, Jiang Chen nodded helplessly.
He didn't have much money left on him to begin with. Recently, he had been busy researching mecha and hadn't opened a business.
In addition to the daily necessities he had purchased earlier…
He had spent 5,000 points to purchase the nuclear engine blueprint from the system store. He had already completed the preliminary design with the relevant knowledge, but he had to let the system help him with the optimization.
Otherwise, with the money he had, it would be impossible to modify this engine.
This was probably the difference between civilian scientists and professional researchers. The researchers lacked technology, and Jiang Chen lacked money...
The worst part was that after that, whether it was the design blueprints of the mecha or other required techniques and materials, they would have to be purchased from the system store.
Therefore, Jiang Chen was in need of a large sum of money!
"Next, as long as the optimization is completed, the engine modification will be considered complete and you can get the reward.”
Although Jiang Chen received a reward for completing the modification, the system awarded points based on the technical content and extent of the modification.
Although transforming a few nuclear batteries into a miniature nuclear reactor would shock the professionals, in Jiang Chen's view, the technical content was not too high, and the reward points were not too much.
"No matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat."
" If I take on Caitlyn's business and help her modify a signal receiver, I'll definitely make a lot of money…"
Liu Jia's figure appeared in his mind.
But in the next second, Jiang Chen shook his head without hesitation!
Now, he wished that Liu Jia would forget him!
He already knew that the spacecraft he had picked up belonged to Huaxia Base. He also knew that the chaos in Eastern Sea City was all because of him!
Under such circumstances, how could he expect Liu Jia to come to him for business?
He couldn't wait to avoid her!
These days, he had been worried that the police would suddenly rush to his door and grab him to hang him up and beat him up.
"I wonder how far the police have gone.”Jiang Chen touched his cheeks and thought to himself.
At this moment, there was a violent knock on the door, and Jiang Chen was shocked.
Could it be that the police had arrived?
