How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 366 Recipe Range

If there is a problem with the reactor, it is a matter of course to shut down the reactor. It is impossible to keep the reactor running and make the problem bigger.

It’s just that Hogu couldn’t figure out how the Serenes realized the shutdown of this hydraulic fusion reactor. This hydraulic reactor is different from fission reactors that rely on nuclear fuel for slow release. Its energy fusion energy is a one-time Release, then stay in the liquid and let the liquid slowly spill the energy out.

As long as the nuclear fuel is pulled out of the fission reactor, the nuclear reaction will naturally stop, but how to stop this hydraulic fusion reactor?

However, after hearing Amanda's answer, Hogu realized that it was thinking too complicatedly about the problem.

The tools of the Cerene people are not biological bodies, and their natural tolerance limit is much higher than that of biological bodies. Some biological limitations are not limitations from the perspective of tools.

"That's not necessary. It's just a simple way to stop the injection of nuclear fuel for fusion. Because there are special flying tools, it's not a big problem even if the part of the thermal insulation cooling can't work."

The Serin people's method is very simple and very rude. Since the temperature cannot be lowered, they should not lower it at all, and directly drive the machine in for maintenance. As long as the machine is strong enough, such a problem will not be a problem.

"Let's go over there and have a look."

"OK."

Huogu pointed in one direction with his tentacles, and Amanda drove the speeding car forward according to his words.

"Why do you use steam to generate electricity?" Hogu asked.

To put it mildly, it’s steam power generation. In layman’s terms, it’s boiling water. When Huo Gu was still a human being, he often heard people laugh at himself. It’s hard to say what kind of energy humans will get in the future, but the method can definitely be guessed. It’s still boiling water.

The person who said this was not sarcasm, but just a complaint about the energy utilization of human civilization, and the Serenes are a civilization that has stepped into the interstellar and can form a fleet, and the way is to boil water, which has to make Huo Gu thought about that sentence.

Not only the mothership class of the Selene, but also the mothership creatures of Huo Gu are also boiling water.

"The absorption and utilization of energy is a difficult problem. As long as there is a transition link in the middle, there will inevitably be energy loss. The more transition links, the greater the loss and loss of energy. Although the method of using steam to obtain energy is ancient, our Serin Our ancestors have been using it for a long time, but this method is directly effective."

Amanda explained the reason for steam power generation. Because water pressure is used to constrain the nuclear reaction, the medium that directly obtains energy is the liquid in the reactor. The steam method is a direct and effective way to obtain energy from liquid, without intermediate steps. Too many conversions are required, and the energy loss is naturally very small.

"When this kind of fusion reactor was manufactured, it caused an uproar because it was too simple and crude, which led to the disillusionment of some people. In their opinion, this kind of fusion reactor is not high-end enough."

"At that time, the designer of the fusion reactor replied to those who were disappointed with a long-lasting sentence, which has now become a classic saying in the scientific circle of the Empire-technology will never become obsolete, and only the product of technology will become obsolete."

Hearing what Amanda said, Hogu was stunned for a while. The meaning of this sentence was as simple and crude as it literally said, but it was so thought-provoking.

"Really impressive words."

After a while, Huo Gu replied that this sentence was not a falsehood to cover up, but the truth.

The power of technology depends on how people use it. The kinetic energy formula can be ordinary stone throwing, or sub-light speed shelling. The combustion conditions can be daily cooking, or incendiary bombs.

The same principle, the key still depends on how to use it.

"Your place is so big and important, why haven't you seen any maintenance personnel?"

Huogu looked around, feeling a little strange. Although the driving area is solid and reliable, it is also compared to the outside. If there is a problem with itself, it cannot be said to be solid and reliable. Generally speaking, shouldn’t someone check it from time to time? ?

Amanda replied, "Because the environment here is relatively harsh, and the work content is not complicated, AI is fully competent for the management work here. The manpower arranged in the driving area is maintenance personnel for emergency situations such as damage to the main driving area, or maintenance personnel for the driving area. Maintenance mechanical body repair."

"If it is all handled by people, it will require quite a few people who understand the mechanical structure of the drive zone to a certain extent. On a mothership."

"Since it can be handed over to the machine, then this is obviously an unnecessary staffing plan."

Entrusting simple tasks to machines is very similar to the thinking of humans, and Huogu can easily understand it.

"That's true."

After visiting the driving area of ​​the mothership, there is still a lot of time left, mainly because the driving area is too simple, just a bunch of fusion reactors, and then the part directly connected to the propulsion engine.

However, it is precisely because of this simplicity that the drive zone can ensure its robustness and reliability during combat.

Amanda led Hogu back to the logistics area, saying that he was taking him to taste the delicacies on the mothership.

Originally, he lacked interest, but when he arrived at the destination, it was beyond Huo Gu's expectation, and a piece of ecological beauty appeared in Huo Gu's field of vision.

The green mountains, green waters, and pastoral scenery are all real, not virtual images. Huogu's senses remind him that what he sees is not false.

After a long while, Huo Gu sat down, his eyes still looking at the ecological beauty.

"You are still farming and animal husbandry in the mothership. Your agricultural technology is so backward?"

When Huogu asked, Amanda who was sitting opposite was almost choked, and the atmosphere that had been brewing with great difficulty was instantly shattered.

Amanda hurriedly explained.

"You misunderstood, the farmland here is only used for the crew to experience life, the food in the mothership is mainly from the petri dish, and the use of bacteria to produce edible organic matter, after processing these organic matter into various Good looking."

"With the addition of concentrated flavorings, these organically processed foods are enough to make it look like real food."

Hearing this, Huo Gu looked at the plate of food similar to earth steak dishes in front of him, and asked suspiciously.

"So the one in front of me is not meat?"

"Strictly speaking, it's not entirely true, because its chewing texture, elasticity, etc. are the same as real meat, and on a microscopic scale, real meat is just composed of individual cells, so even if it is artificially synthesized, it can The food you are eating now is indeed classified as 'meat'."

Seeing Amanda's panicked look, Hogu waved his tentacles symbolically.

"I don't mind this, even if it's something else, even if the food you give me is a stone, it's not a big problem for me."

"Our side is much more extreme than yours, at least you still have some pursuit of food."

Amanda looked suspicious because of Hogu's words, and she asked.

"Talking about your Excellency, what kind of food is there on the amoeba?"

In Amanda's subjective opinion, she thinks that it should go far beyond the eating habits of the Serene people, because the amoeba has brought the Serene people such condiments that have caused a sensation in the food world, such as the enemy of the kitchen, and similar products are also available. More than one kind, such as fine wine, delicious bar, etc., challenge the limit of Serin's taste buds.

"Let me think about it... In the beginning, there were all kinds of bacteria, which can be roughly divided into three types: acidic, alkaline, and neutral."

It's not a secret that Hogu fell into the memories of the past, so he didn't mind telling himself about the female Serin who, as far as Hogu himself was concerned, didn't have a bad sense.

"At that time, I didn't have much sense of taste and couldn't taste what it was. Later, I felt that it was too passive to be limited by the food chain in the planetary ecosphere. If the ecosphere collapsed one day, we would definitely be wiped out, so I changed it from the outside world. The way to obtain energy starts to synthesize organic matter independently."

"According to the way you Serene people understand, it is to expand your hunting range, eat up, eat hot...we will eat everything on your periodic table..."

"...In short, as long as energy can be obtained from it, it is theoretically within our hunting range, even if it is antimatter."

"Huh? I didn't notice before that our recipe range has expanded so widely."

"..."

At this time, Amanda's expression was frozen. She thought that the amoeba surpassed Serene in the field of diet, and now it seems that it is indeed 'beyond', 'beyond' in various senses.
