Cyber Heroes

Sometimes, those involved in historical events often don’t feel that they have experienced any remarkable moment. Perhaps they will only realize afterwards how profound their actions have been in human history.

In fact, in Xiangshan's eyes, he just walked around on top of a huge alien garbage, which had no effect and was just a burden. When he came out of the protective suit, his whole body was wet with sweat. Xiangshan took a bath and slept that day.

But the next day, when Xiang Shan went to work at the research institute, he found that everyone looked at him a little differently.

"You can go back now and claim to be the first person in the country to contact aliens." This is what Old Liu told him. He patted Xiang Shan and said, "Do your best. You will have a bright future in the future."

Regardless of Xiangshan's personal fate, this exploration did change a lot of things.

After confirming that there are no interactive objects in the entire "Ogun" - whether mechanical or aliens - Project Rama also became bold. A large number of peacekeeping personnel, wearing chemical protective suits, entered Ogun and began operations. At first, they carefully sampled the ground, trying to find possible alien cells. But soon, they discovered that the interior of Ogun was also terrifyingly clean, and all organic matter was mixed in from the earth.

Now there is no need to even disinfect.

As a result, the executives of Rama Project began to organize soldiers from the peacekeeping force to work inside Ogun, erecting reinforcement structures inside and outside to support the crumbling "Ogun". At the same time, they laid tracks and scaffolding inside, built elevators, and laid lighting equipment. to facilitate exploration.

The information compiled during this process was continuously presented to the scientists.

The first is the steel beam Xiangshan saw that day. It is indeed a complex structure. A complex steel structure like the Eiffel Tower supports "Ogun". The structure has been severely deformed, but all deformations have bypassed the dark cylinder in the center - that is what the builders of "Ogun" really wanted to deliver.

This is the result of careful design. Calculated based on recovery. No matter how Ogun lands, those steel beams can deform to absorb kinetic energy. No matter how the steel structure deforms, there is a high probability that the black cylinder will not be affected.

It seems that the NASA engineer was absolutely right. The builders of "Ogun" did not consider parachutes at all.

Perhaps thanks to a human parachute, Ogun landed much more intact than its builders expected. Humans get a glimpse into the art of building blocks.

In addition, there is another news. The black cylinder doesn't have any cables leading to the outside. This black cylinder did not have the function of controlling the rocket engine from the beginning.

The good news is that hatches exist on the cylinder.

At present, humans have used a variety of signal transmission methods, including tapping, to "speak" to the cylinder, but the cylinder does not respond and is always silent. It seems that even if there is machinery inside, it has been shut down and can be further explored.

The bad news is that there seems to be controversy over exactly how and who will open it.

It is said that every advancement here can create waves in the political arena of several big countries. Xiangshan really couldn't understand the specific process. Why were the bureaucrats at the back reacting so strongly even though it was the front-line workers who were doing the hard work?

And then there's the other news.

Or say good news and bad news.

The bad news is that Ogun's rocket engine was severely damaged.

But the good news is that humans can still analyze useful technologies from it.

Moreover, it is exactly what human beings need now, "technology that is a little more advanced than contemporary humans."

Ogun uses a nuclear rocket, which uses a reactor to directly heat the propellant and then ejects it to gain speed.

The structure of its reactor seems very interesting and has never been used by people on earth. Nuclear physicists from different countries all exclaimed "That's it" when they saw it.

If we look at the entire history of human science, such a hint is at best equivalent to "a flash of inspiration by a certain scientist." Even if there is no "Ogun", humans will discover this structure one day. But the arrival of "Ogun" means that humans directly save the step of "waiting for inspiration", and also saves the cost of research and development and trial and error.

Of course, humans have also discovered symbols on the steel beams inside Ogun, which are directly engraved on certain locations of the steel beams.

Ingrid was very excited when she learned the news, but she stopped laughing after only half a day.

Those symbols are not words at all, but symbols similar to barcodes that are easy for computers to read and are used to represent numbers.

"We still know nothing except that the builders of Ogun used the hexadecimal system." As Ingrid said this, she inserted a fork into the plate and rolled up a ball of pasta.

And the rubble was also cleared out.

These things contain uranium-235 of high purity. It is said that they must be properly preserved by nuclear countries with experience in handling them, and must be sent to this "turbulent country" as soon as possible.

"That's really strange..." Xiang Shan said after reading the information sent: "The purity of this uranium is too high, and judging from the radiation I saw that day, it was not spent fuel at all. This is not their Means of disposing of nuclear waste.”

High-purity fuel rod components actually do not emit strong radiation. Even without any protection, humans can still come into direct contact within a short period of time. Compared with radiation, it is more terrifying if uranium, a heavy metal, is absorbed or poisoned by people. But not with spent fuel. Spent fuel elements removed from reactors can be used to kill people.

Inside the brand new reactor fuel rods is very pure uranium. But after the fission reaction, the fuel rods are not so pure. Hundreds of isotopes will appear in it, with different half-lives, but the radiation is even more terrifying. Compared with fuel rods that mainly release alpha rays, they are also mixed with more penetrating and harmful radiation.

Judging from that reading, there was no spent fuel in the huge stone pile.

"If we consider that the technological level of the builders of Ogun is not much different from that of the Earth, they would not have piled spent fuel in Ogun." David was behind Xiang Shan, biting a Coke straw. , "If nothing else, human beings are very troubled by the problem of 'computers are not resistant to electromagnetic radiation', and aliens should be the same."

"How should we deal with spent fuel?"

"If it were me..." David looked upward and took a sip of Coke: "As a propellant?"
