The world of shelter under the glacier

Chapter 95 The end one year later

Enjoy the free air.

It was a shaky ride all the way.

Two hours later, Chu Feng arrived at the first stop.

Magic City.

The journey has not been without its rewards.

Although the temperature has now reached minus 101°C, it is still on a downward trend.

The sky is still as dark as ink.

An altitude of more than 10,000 meters has always been a restricted area that humans cannot break through.

Satellites, rockets and the like.

It is extremely difficult to break through this level.

Of course, this also includes Chu Feng’s Mark mecha.

Chu Feng, who was so poor, had no shelter to upgrade.

As for using universal stone...

The naughty Chu Feng never thought about it.

certainly.

The end has just arrived.

exactly.

After a trip to the Big Apple.

Experience the joy of getting rich overnight.

It's not like Chu Feng hasn't thought about upgrading first and then going to space to catch meteorites.

If it works, it will be developed.

Give it a try.

I won't have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of my life.

Think about it.

This is just a dream.

A dream that can be shattered at the first glance.

Not to mention how difficult it is to break through the stratosphere.

How many universal stones does it cost to upgrade the mecha?

What about after the flat process?

What about the mesosphere?

What will happen to the warm layer and outer atmosphere after that?

No one on Aqua Blue Star can tell clearly.

Not even the best experts can.

No.

Maybe someone knows.

That's the astronauts on the International Space Station.

After the crisis broke out, various countries spared no expense to replenish sufficient supplies.

Support for three to five years will not be a problem.

It can be affected by the restricted area.

Radio signals cannot penetrate the atmosphere at all, so there is no contact with the International Space Station.

The first time the haze layer formed.

The ground lost contact with the International Space Station.

Moreover.

Even after overcoming various difficulties, the Mark Mecha broke through the atmosphere and flew into space...

And after that.

Meteorites are not chickens.

Each of the quails stood still.

Even the speed of the International Space Station is as high as 8000 meters S.

Not to mention meteorites.

The speed is definitely above it, even faster!

But what about the Mark mecha?

Its top speed is only comparable to 340S.

Just catch the meteorite at this speed.

Isn't that just catching bullets with bare hands?

No!

It was a ballistic missile.

It's just an old man eating arsenic - looking for death.

Of course, you can also continue to upgrade to increase the speed of the mecha.

But the Mark mecha uses pulse thrusters, which use arc pulses to create ultrasonic waves to make the armor fly at high speeds.

Aquamarine does not have this technology.

There are technical limitations. If you want to upgrade the mecha thruster, a lot of omnipotent stones will be consumed.

Anyway.

The investment is far from the unknown return.

It's not a matter of life and death.

Chu Feng was unwilling to take risks.

D is too generous.

It's like winning the Mark Liu lottery.

Totally not worth it.

The space under the apocalypse is a realm that even the gods cannot touch.

Humanity.

It’s no use thinking about it.

At least for now.

Although it is impossible to look up into space, there is still a cold wind blowing above Level 10 in the sky.

The goose-feather heavy snow continued to fall.

But.

Things are getting better for humanity.

At least.

This is the current situation in the Dragon Kingdom.

On the important train lines in Southern Anhui Province alone, Chu Feng found many people busy clearing snow and laying tracks.

It's not long before the train is due to pass.

The reason.

All because of breakthroughs in nuclear technology.

Under the huge pressure of natural disasters, everyone in the Dragon Kingdom worked together as one and showed the spirit of hard work that they had during the founding of the country.

Concentrate your efforts on big things.

At least that's the case with the Dragon Academy.

finally.

One year after the end.

With the help of universal stone.

Small nuclear reactors were finally developed.

Can be moved to the train.

As for the truck?

Not to mention that you don’t have the technology, even if you do, it’s not worth it.

The price/performance ratio is too low.

Especially after the magnetic levitation came out, it was completely abandoned by Longke Academy.

Small nuclear reactors can be developed.

Chu Feng was not surprised at all.

Before the end of the world, this technology was originally used on submarines and aircraft carriers.

It's just that its size has been unable to be reduced due to technical limitations.

To be more precise.

No need to spend time shrinking.

after all.

The end has not come.

Even if it is reduced, the scope of application is very narrow due to its safety and radioactive contamination.

Not good value for money.

But now.

Safety and pollution are no longer the primary considerations.

One is not affected by the ultra-low temperature outside.

A locomotive that can provide surging power is what mankind urgently needs.

This is how nuclear-powered trains came into being.

And according to the information secretly stolen by Tiangong, Chu Feng still has a better understanding of this technology.

This scaled-down nuclear reactor is not a traditional light-water reactor.

Instead, it works on the same principle as a radioactive isotope battery, the same type of nuclear battery currently used in the mechas equipped by Dragon Tooth.

Using the decay of radioactive isotopes, thermal energy can be directly converted into electrical energy.

This thermoelectric conversion method naturally has many benefits.

Because there is no need to drive the steam turbine to do work like a nuclear submarine, that is, there is no need to inject cooling water into the reactor to generate steam to drive the steam turbine.

nature.

No middleman steam turbine earns the difference.

The most direct benefit is to greatly improve the energy conversion efficiency.

Secondly.

The radioactive core of a nuclear reactor can also be completely sealed.

Thus.

This can greatly prevent nuclear radiation leakage.

Its safety has not been improved in the slightest.

With nuclear reactors.

Even small ones.

But its output power is also around 50MW.

1MW is 1000KW.

The maximum capacity for pulling a freight train is 15MW.

There are even fewer passenger trains.

5000KW~6000KW is the norm.

Even for high-speed rail, the maximum traction power is only 9600KW.

This way.

The nuclear-powered locomotive currently developed by Longke Academy not only drives the train itself, but also provides sufficient electricity for the body.

Heating and lighting are basic operations.

besides.

It can also be used for de-icing and clearing snow.

This is the most important thing.

It is also the number one problem that prevents people from traveling in the apocalypse.

after all.

The snow is still falling.

The wind is still blowing.

If the tracks are not cleared in time, the main railway line will soon be buried under more than 10 meters of snow.

······

At that time, we saw crowds of people busy laying tracks.

Chu Feng looked strange.
